Display device and method of fabricating the same

A display device comprising:

• a first substrate comprising a display area in which a plurality of light emitting elements are disposed and a non-display area surrounding the display area;
• a second substrate disposed on the first substrate;
• a sealing member disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and disposed in the non-display area to surround the display area;
• and
• a first fusion pattern disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate to overlap the sealing member,
• wherein a trench is defined in the non-display area of the first substrate to surround the display area, and
• the first fusion pattern overlaps the trench to have a closed curve shape surrounding the display area.

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

• preparing a first substrate which comprises a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area, and forming a trench which is recessed from an upper surface of the first substrate by radiating a first pulsed laser to the non-display area;
• preparing a second substrate, on which a sealing member is disposed, and attaching the first substrate and the second substrate to each other such that the sealing member is inserted into the trench;
• and
• forming a first fusion pattern, in which a material of the sealing member, a material of the first substrate and a material of the second substrate are mixed with each other, by radiating a second pulsed laser to the sealing member disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
