Display Device with Touch Structure and Method of Forming the Same

A display device, comprising:

• a light-emitting element;
• an encapsulating structure on the light-emitting element;
• a first bridge electrode on the encapsulating layer;
• a reflecting prevention layer on the first bridge electrode;
• a touch insulating layer on the reflecting prevention layer, the touch insulating layer comprising a touch contact hole exposing a portion of the first bridge electrode, the touch contact hole penetrating the reflecting prevention layer;
• a first touch electrode on the touch insulating layer, the first touch electrode being connected to the first bridge electrode through the touch contact hole;
• and
• a second bridge electrode on the touch insulating layer, the second bridge electrode being spaced apart from the first touch electrode.

A method of forming a display device, the method comprising:

• forming a display buffer layer on a device substrate;
• forming a thin film transistor on the display buffer layer;
• forming a lower passivation layer on the thin film transistor;
• forming an overcoat layer on the lower passivation layer;
• forming a first electrode to be electrically coupled to the thin film transistor;
• forming the bank insulating layer to be covering an edge of the first electrode, such that a portion of the first electrode is exposed by the bank insulating layer;
• forming a light-emitting element by stacking a light-emitting layer and a second electrode on the portion of the first electrode that is exposed by the bank insulating layer;
• forming an encapsulating structure on the second electrode;
• forming a first bridge electrode on the encapsulating structure;
• and
• forming a reflecting prevention layer on the first bridge electrode.
