Abstract

Provided is a display device, including: a display panel that includes a display layer on at least a first substrate; and a sealing resin layer that is provided on a peripheral edge of the display panel, wherein a surface of the sealing resin layer and a surface of the display panel include a same plane.

Claims (14)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel that includes a display layer on at least a first substrate, wherein the display panel is configured to display images viewable by a viewer from a front side of the display panel during operation; and

a sealing resin layer that is provided on a peripheral edge of the display panel,

wherein a surface of the sealing resin layer extends from beyond a side of the first substrate, the side of the first substrate being transverse to the front side of the display panel, to a surface of the display panel, in which the surface of the sealing resin layer and the surface of the display panel face the front side of the display panel and are in a same plane.

2. The display device of claim 1 ,

wherein a front outer surface of the display panel includes the surface of the display panel.

3. The display device of claim 1 ,

wherein the display panel includes, along at least one side transverse to the front side, a level difference in a stacking direction of the first substrate and the display layer,

wherein a portion of the least one side of the display panel inclusive of the level difference is embedded in the sealing resin layer, and

wherein an outer surface of the sealing resin layer opposite to the portion of the at least one side of the display panel is planar.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel includes a lamination film on the surface of the sealing resin layer and the surface of the display panel, wherein the lamination film includes an inner surface and outer surface, wherein the inner surface of the lamination film faces the surface of the sealing resin layer and the surface of the display panel and the outer surface of the lamination film is opposite the inner surface of the lamination film, and wherein a front outer surface of the display panel includes the outer surface of the lamination film.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the sealing resin layer is colored.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a peripheral member provided at a peripheral edge of the sealing resin layer, wherein the peripheral member is coupled to the display panel by the sealing resin layer.
