Abstract

A display device includes: a substrate; a display area on the substrate, where the display area includes a plurality of pixels; a peripheral area on the substrate, where the peripheral area is on a periphery of the display area; a first protective layer on the substrate, where the first protective layer is in the display area and the peripheral area; and a second protective layer on the substrate, where the second protective layer is in the display area and the peripheral area. The first protective layer and the second protective layer overlap each other.

Claims (22)

1 . A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a display area on the substrate, wherein the display area comprises a plurality of pixels;

a peripheral area on the substrate, wherein the peripheral area is on a periphery of the display area;

a first protective layer on the substrate, wherein the first protective layer is in the display area and the peripheral area; and

a second protective layer on the substrate, wherein the second protective layer is in the peripheral area,

wherein an end portion of the first protective layer and an end portion of the second protective layer overlap each other, and

wherein a remaining portion of the first protective layer except for the end portion thereof and a remaining portion of the second protective layer except for the end portion thereof do not overlap each other.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the end portion of one of the first protective layer and the second protective layer and the end portion of the other of the first protective layer and the second protective layer are sequentially stacked one on another.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first protective layer is arranged in a first direction, and

the second protective layer is arranged in a second direction different from the first direction.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first protective layer and the second protective layer include different materials from each other.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an opening area in the substrate, wherein a component is provided in the opening area; and

a third protective layer on a circumference of the opening area.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein a planar shape of the third protective layer is a loop shape.

7 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein a part of the third protective layer overlaps a part of the first protective layer.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first protective layer surrounds a boundary of the display area.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein

the first protective layer is provided in plural, and

the plurality of first protective layers are spaced apart from one another along the boundary of the display area.
