Abstract

A method of manufacturing a display device includes providing a primary member of a display panel having a display surface and a non-display surface, a shock absorber disposed on the display surface, and a polymer base disposed on the non-display surface, cutting the primary member by irradiating the primary member with a laser along a cutting line of one surface of the polymer base without cutting through an outer surface of the shock absorber, and physically tearing off an outer surface of the shock absorber to form a final member without the laser. During laser irradiation, the primary member moves in one direction, and simultaneously a laser oscillator to which the laser is applied moves along the cutting line. The scanning speed of the laser oscillator is about 1 m/s to about 7 m/s.
