Abstract
A display apparatus includes a base layer, on which a display area and a non-display area disposed to surround the display area are defined, a circuit layer disposed on the base layer and including a plurality of insulation layers, a pixel layer disposed on the display area and including a plurality of organic light-emitting diodes, an encapsulation layer disposed on the pixel layer to cover the pixel layer, and a protruding member disposed between the circuit layer and the encapsulation layer on the non-display area. A bank coupling hole is defined in the circuit layer on the non-display area, and the bank coupling hole is defined through at least an uppermost insulation layer of the insulation layers and overlaps the protruding member on a plane.

A display apparatus comprising:
- a base layer, on which a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area are defined;
- a circuit layer disposed on the base layer and comprising a plurality of insulation layers;
- a pixel layer disposed on the display area and comprising a plurality of organic light-emitting diodes;
- an encapsulation layer disposed on the pixel layer to cover the pixel layer;
- and
- a protruding member disposed between the circuit layer and the encapsulation layer on the non-display area,
- wherein a bank coupling hole is defined in the circuit layer on the non-display area, and
- wherein the bank coupling hole is defined through at least an uppermost insulation layer of the insulation layers and overlaps the protruding member on a plane.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a base layer, on which a display area and a non-display area surround the display area are defined;
- a circuit layer disposed on the base layer;
- a display layer disposed on the circuit layer;
- and
- a plurality of protruding members disposed on the circuit layer on the non-display area,
- wherein the circuit layer comprises:
- a plurality of insulation layers, wherein a coupling hole is defined through at least one uppermost insulation layer of the insulation layers in the non-display area;
- and
- a plurality of conductive patterns disposed between the insulation layers, and
- wherein at least one of the protruding members is filled in the coupling hole.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel, on which a display area for displaying an image and a non-display area surround the display area are defined, wherein at least a portion of the non-display area is bent,
- wherein the display panel comprises:
- a base layer;
- a circuit layer disposed on the base layer and comprising a plurality of insulation layers;
- a pixel layer disposed on the display area;
- an encapsulation layer disposed on the pixel layer to cover the pixel layer;
- and
- a bank disposed between the circuit layer and the encapsulation layer on the non-display area, and
- wherein a bank coupling hole is defined in the circuit layer on a partial area disposed adjacent to a bending area in the non-display area,
- wherein the bank coupling hole is defined through at least upper insulation layer of the insulation layers, and
- wherein a lower portion of the bank is filled in the bank coupling hole.
