Abstract

A display device includes a first substrate, a first emission layer disposed on the first substrate and emitted by a top emission type, a second substrate facing the first substrate and covering the first substrate, and a second emission layer disposed under the second substrate and emitted by a bottom emission type, wherein a portion of the first emission layer and a portion of the second emission layer.

Claims (54)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate;

a first emission layer disposed on the first substrate and emitted by a top emission type;

a second substrate facing the first substrate, completely covering the first substrate, and being wider than the first substrate; and

a second emission layer disposed under the second substrate and emitted by a bottom emission type,

wherein a portion of the first emission layer and a portion of the second emission layer overlap each other,

the first substrate includes a first center portion and a first outer portion enclosing the first center portion,

the second substrate includes a second center portion, an overlapping portion enclosing the second center portion, and a second outer portion enclosing the overlapping portion,

the first emission layer includes all light emission materials disposed on the first substrate, a plurality of organic light emitting diodes spaced apart from each other and a plurality of organic emission layers spaced apart from each other on the first center portion,

the second emission layer is disposed only under the second outer portion and the overlapping portion and includes all light emission materials disposed on the second substrate, and

the second outer portion overlaps neither the first center portion nor the first outer portion.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first substrate and second substrate respectively include thin glasses having a thickness of about 50 micrometers to about 100 micrometers.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first substrate and the second substrate are respectively chemical tempered glasses including a potassium factor.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the overlapping portion and the first outer portion overlap each other.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein:

the portion of the first emission layer positioned at the first outer portion and the portion of the second emission layer positioned at the overlapping portion overlap each other.

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

a first encapsulation layer covering the first emission layer;

a second encapsulation layer covering the second emission layer and the second substrate; and

an adhesive layer adhering the first encapsulation layer and the second encapsulation layer to each other.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein:

the second center portion of the second substrate contacts the second encapsulation layer.

8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein:

a thickness of the adhesive layer positioned in the second center portion of the second substrate is larger than a thickness of the adhesive layer positioned in the second outer portion and the overlapping portion of the second substrate.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first emission layer includes a plurality of first pixels, and the second emission layer includes a plurality of second pixels, and

a boundary portion interval serving as an interval between a second outermost pixel, which is an outermost positioned pixel among the plurality of second pixels, and a first pixel, which is closest to the second outermost pixel among the plurality of first pixels on a plane surface, is substantially the same as the center portion interval serving as the interval between adjacent first pixels among the plurality of first pixels.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein:

the first pixel is only positioned in the first center portion.

11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein:

the first pixel is positioned at the first center portion and the first outer portion.

12. The display device of claim 9 , wherein:

the first pixel includes:

a first driving transistor disposed on the first substrate, and

a first organic light emitting diode connected to the first driving transistor;

the second pixel includes

a second driving transistor disposed on the second substrate, and

a second organic light emitting diode connected to the second driving transistor; and

light emitted from the first organic light emitting diode and the second organic light emitting diode passes through the second substrate to be irradiated.

13. The display device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a polarizer disposed on the second substrate.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein:

the polarizer includes:

a light blocking member which is disposed on the second substrate and in which a plurality of light blocking openings is defined, and

a color filter disposed in the plurality of light blocking openings.

15. The display device of claim 13 , further comprising:

a first hard coating layer disposed on the polarizer.

16. The display device of claim 15 , further comprising:

a touch sensor disposed on the first hard coating layer.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein:

a second hard coating layer is disposed on the touch sensor.
