## Abstract

A display device includes a display element part disposed on a substrate, the display element part including a light emitting element, and an upper film layer disposed on the display element part, the upper film layer including an anti-electrostatic pattern. The anti-electrostatic pattern includes a conductive pattern and an anti-reflection pattern, and the conductive pattern and the anti-reflection pattern overlap each other.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a display element part disposed on a substrate, the display element part including a light emitting element; and

the anti-electrostatic pattern includes an electrostatic discharge pattern and an anti-reflection pattern disposed on the electrostatic discharge pattern, and
the electrostatic discharge pattern and the anti-reflection pattern overlap each other.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein
the upper film layer includes an outer film, and
the anti-electrostatic pattern is disposed on the outer film.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein the outer film includes an anti-reflective coating.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein
the outer film is disposed on a surface of the anti-reflection pattern, and
the electrostatic discharge pattern is disposed on another surface of the anti-reflection pattern.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein
the outer film is disposed on a surface of the electrostatic discharge pattern, and
the anti-reflection pattern is disposed on another surface of the electrostatic discharge pattern.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein
the anti-reflection pattern includes a first anti-reflection pattern and a second anti-reflection pattern,
the first anti-reflection pattern is disposed between the outer film and the electrostatic discharge pattern,
the second anti-reflection pattern is disposed on a surface of the electrostatic discharge pattern, and
the first anti-reflection pattern is not disposed on the surface of the electrostatic discharge pattern.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, further comprising:
a display area from which light is emitted; and
a non-display area surrounding at least a portion of the display area,
wherein the anti-electrostatic pattern is electrically connected to a connection line disposed in the non-display area such that an electrostatic signal is moved to outside of the display area and the non-display area through the electrostatic discharge pattern.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the anti-electrostatic pattern has a periodically patterned shape.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the anti-electrostatic pattern includes:
a first anti-electrostatic pattern extending in a first direction; and
a second anti-electrostatic pattern extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and
a unit shape provided by the first anti-electrostatic pattern and the second anti-electrostatic pattern intersecting each other is a rectangular shape.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the anti-electrostatic pattern is disposed in a mesh pattern having a rhombic unit shape.
