## Abstract

A tiled display device includes a first display device including a first pixel, and a second display device coupled to the first display device in a bonding area, including a second pixel, and overlapping the first display device in the bonding area in a plane view.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A tiled display device comprising:
a first display device comprising a first pixel and a first light control part configured to convert a wavelength of provided light; and
a second display device coupled to the first display device in a bonding area, overlapping the first display device in the bonding area in a plane view such that at least a portion of the second display device is under a bottom of the first display device with respect to a thickness direction of the second display device, and comprising:
a second pixel;
a second outer area in the bonding area;
a dummy pixel area in which a light emitting element is located, the light emitting element being in the bonding area and being configured to output light; and
a second light control part configured to convert a wavelength of provided light, and having at least a portion that is in the dummy pixel area,
wherein the first display device comprises a first outer area in the bonding area with at least a portion of the first light control part therein,
wherein the first light control part in the first outer area comprises a first wavelength conversion material and a second wavelength conversion material,
wherein the first wavelength conversion material is configured to convert light of a first color into light of a second color, and
wherein the second wavelength conversion material is configured to convert the light of the first color into light of a third color.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the first outer area and the second outer area do not overlap with each other in a plane view.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the first outer area is configured to emit light therein without the first pixel being in the first outer area.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the dummy pixel area overlaps with the first outer area in a plane view.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the first pixel overlaps with the second outer area in a plane view, and
wherein the second outer area is configured to provide light therefrom.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the first outer area is configured to transmit light output from a dummy pixel in the dummy pixel area such that light is externally emitted.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the second light control part is not located in the second outer area.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the first light control part in the first outer area is configured to convert light into white light.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the second display device is configured to output blue light in the dummy pixel area.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein first light having a first wavelength is output from the dummy pixel area, and
wherein at least a portion of the first light is transmitted through the first outer area of the first display device such that the first light is converted into second light having a second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the second display device is configured to output the light of the first color in the dummy pixel area, and to output the light of the first color in a pixel area adjacent to the dummy pixel area.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The tiled display device of claim 11, wherein the second display device is configured to output light with a first luminance in the dummy pixel area, and to output light with a second luminance in a pixel area most adjacent to the dummy pixel area, the first luminance and the second luminance being substantially equal.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the first display device comprises a first bending area in which at least a portion of the first display device is bent,
wherein the second display device comprises a second bending area in which at least a portion of the second display device is bent, and
wherein the first bending area and the second bending area overlap with each other in the bonding area.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The tiled display device of claim 1, wherein the first display device comprises a first substrate,
wherein the second display device comprises a second substrate,
wherein the first substrate comprises a (1-1)th substrate area having a (1-1)th thickness, and a (1-2)th substrate area having a (1-2)th thickness that is thinner than the (1-1)th thickness,
wherein the second substrate comprises a (2-1)th substrate area having a (2-1)th thickness, and a (2-2)th substrate area having a (2-2)th thickness that is thinner than the (2-1)th thickness, and
wherein the (1-2)th substrate area and the (2-2)th substrate area overlap with each other in the bonding area in a plane view.
