Display device and method of manufacturing the same

A display device comprising:

• a reinforced substrate having a flexible region and a reinforced region adjacent to the flexible region;
• a display layer disposed on the reinforced substrate and including a thin-film transistor, an organic light emitting display and a thin-film encapsulating layer, wherein the thin-film encapsulating layer is disposed on the organic light emitting display;
• and
• a first barrier layer configured to block moisture or oxygen toward the display layer and disposed between the reinforced substrate and the display layer,
• wherein the reinforced substrate comprises:
• a first reinforced layer comprising a reinforced portion disposed in the reinforced region and a plurality of patterns disposed in the flexible region, each of the plurality of patterns being disconnected from one another by respective ones of a plurality of patterned spaces and disconnected from the reinforced portion;
• and
• a first substrate that is disposed on the first reinforced layer and has flexibility,
• wherein a modulus of elasticity of the first reinforced layer is greater than a modulus of elasticity of the first substrate,
• wherein the first substrate surrounds at least three surfaces of the reinforced portion of the first reinforced layer,
• wherein the organic light emitting display includes a pixel electrode including a reflective electrode, an intermediate layer disposed on the pixel electrode, and a counter electrode disposed on the intermediate layer,
• wherein the organic light emitting display emits light in a direction opposite from the reinforced substrate, and
• wherein the light emitted from the organic light emitting display is emitted to outside of the display device through the thin-film encapsulating layer.
