Display device including touch screen panel and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a display device, comprising:

• providing a first substrate including a display region and a peripheral region;
• forming a light-emitting structure over the first substrate;
• forming a second substrate over the light-emitting structure;
• forming a touch screen panel over the second substrate;
• providing a touch screen panel-flexible printed circuit (TSP-FPC) board;
• forming a top structure on an upper surface of the TSP-FPC board;
• forming a bottom structure on a lower surface of the TSP-FPC board;
• attaching the TSP-FPC board to the first substrate such that the top and bottom structures are located in the peripheral region;
• electrically connecting the TSP-FPC board to the touch screen panel;
• forming a polarizer over the touch screen panel in the display region;
• forming a resin layer over the polarizer;
• and
• forming a protective member over the resin layer, wherein the protective member substantially covers the display region and the peripheral region.

A display device, comprising:

• a first substrate including a display area and a peripheral area;
• a light-emitting structure formed over the first substrate in the display area;
• a touch screen panel formed over the light-emitting structure;
• a second substrate formed over the touch screen panel and substantially covering the display area and the peripheral area;
• a touch screen panel-flexible printed circuit (TSP-FPC) board electrically connected to the touch screen panel;
• a first spacer formed in the peripheral area and interposed between the TSP-FPC board and the first substrate;
• and
• a second spacer formed in the peripheral area and interposed between the TSP-FPC board and the second substrate.
