Abstract
A display device includes a first area, a second area, and a bending area; a first substrate that is disposed at least in the first area where a display layer is disposed, and is formed of a glass material; a second substrate that is disposed on the first substrate, is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area, and is bendable; an organic material layer that is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area; an encapsulation layer that is disposed on the display layer; and a signal line that extends from the display layer and is disposed in the bending area and the second area, wherein the first substrate is spaced apart from the second area.
Claims14
A display device comprising:
- a first area, a second area, and a bending area;
- a first substrate that is disposed at least in the first area where a display layer is disposed, and is rigid;
- a second substrate that is disposed in on the first substrate, is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area, and is bendable;
- an organic material layer that is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area;
- an encapsulation layer that is disposed on the display layer;
- and
- a signal line that extends from the display layer and is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area,
- wherein the first substrate is spaced apart from the second area, and
- the encapsulation layer is disposed on a portion of the organic material layer, which is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area, in a direction away from the second substrate,
- wherein the second substrate comprises a carbonized region that is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area.
A display device comprising:
- a first area, a second area, and a bending area;

- a signal line that extends from the display layer and is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area,
- wherein the second substrate comprises a carbonized region that is disposed at least in the bending area and at least a part of the second area, and
- wherein the second substrate is disposed over the first area, the bending area, and the second area.
A display device comprising:
- a first area, a second area, and a bending area;
- a first substrate that is disposed at least in the first area where a display layer is disposed, and is rigid;
- a second substrate that is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area, and has flexibility;
- an organic material layer that is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area;
- an encapsulation layer that is disposed on the display layer;
- and
- a signal line that extends from the display layer and is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area,
- wherein an end of the first substrate has a shape that is tapered toward the bending area, and
- the encapsulation layer is disposed on a portion of the organic material layer, which is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area, in a direction away from the second substrate,
- wherein the second substrate comprises a carbonized region that is disposed at least in the bending area and the second area.
