Display device and method of fabricating the same

A display device comprising:

• a first substrate comprising a display area where a plurality of light-emitting elements is disposed, and non-display areas surrounding the display area;
• a second substrate disposed on the first substrate and comprising melting patterns disposed in a region overlapping the non-display areas;
• a metal line layer disposed on the non-display areas of the first substrate;
• a sealing member disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and surrounding the display area in the non-display areas;
• and
• fusing patterns disposed in the sealing member between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein the second substrate comprises a melting pattern area in which the molten patterns are disposed,
• wherein the melting pattern area is in a portion of the non-display areas in which the metal line layer is disposed, and
• wherein the fusing patterns are disposed not to overlap with the melting patterns in a plan view.

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

• preparing a first substrate and a second substrate and irradiating the second substrate with a first pulsed laser to form melting patterns having a refractive index smaller than a refractive index of an adjacent region;
• forming a sealing member on one surface of the second substrate, and attaching the second substrate and the first substrate together;
• and
• irradiating the sealing member disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate with a second pulse laser to form fusing patterns in which materials of the sealing member, the first substrate and the second substrate are fused.
