## Abstract

A display device has a first area, and a second area that extends from the first area and has a bent shape, the display device including a display module including a display panel, which has a corner portion in the second area, an input-sensing member on the display panel and including a body portion, which overlaps with the display panel, and an extension, which extends from the body portion, is in the second area, and does not overlap with the display panel, and a first bonding layer between the display module and the input-sensing member, wherein an edge of the extension extends beyond an edge of the corner portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An input-sensing member comprising:
a body portion having a rectangular planar shape;
an extension extending outwardly from a corner of the body portion;
an insulating substrate;
sensing electrodes on a surface of the insulating substrate; and
a waterproof filling member, which directly contacts an outermost side surface of the extension and a lower surface of the extension,
wherein an outermost side surface of the input-sensing member comprises the outermost side surface of the extension, and an outermost side surface of the body portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The input-sensing member of claim 1, wherein the body portion comprises a first edge extending in a first direction, and a second edge extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction,
wherein an outermost edge of the input-sensing member comprises an outermost edge of the extension, and an outermost edge of the body portion, and
wherein the outermost edge of the extension is connected to the first and second edges, and is positioned outside the second edge in the first direction.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The input-sensing member of claim 2, wherein the outermost edge of the extension extends beyond the first edge in the second direction.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The input-sensing member of claim 2, wherein the sensing electrodes comprise:
a plurality of first sensing electrodes, which comprise a plurality of first sensing portions and a plurality of first connecting portions electrically connected to the first sensing portions; and
a plurality of second sensing electrodes, which comprise a plurality of second sensing portions and a plurality of second connecting portions electrically connected to the second sensing portions,
wherein the first sensing portions and the second sensing portions are on a same layer, and
wherein the first connecting portions and the second connecting portions are on different layers.
