a terminal in the display region and electrically connected to the touch portion with a wiring extending to the touch region from the display region through the boundary region,
wherein:
the base film is folded in the boundary region so that a front face of the touch portion overlaps with the image-displaying portion with the touch portion interposed therebetween;
the front face of the touch portion is one of opposing faces of the touch portion further from the base film than the other; and
the image-display portion comprises a pixel including a light-emitting element that is configured so that light from the light-emitting element is extracted through the touch region.
8. The display device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the wiring and the touch portion are electrically connected through an opening portion passing through the base film.
9. The display device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the touch portion is located over and overlaps with the image-displaying portion with the base film in the touch region interposed therebetween.
10. The display device according to claim 7 , further comprising a transparent substrate between the display region and the touch region.
11. The display device according to claim 7 , comprising:
a cutoff parallel to a fold axis between both edges of the base film in the boundary region, the cutoff reaching both edges of the base film,
wherein a width of the base film in the boundary region is smaller than a width of the display region and a width of the touch region.
12. The display device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the base film is flexible.
13. A manufacturing method of a display device, the manufacturing method comprising:
forming an image-displaying portion on a first face side of a base film;
forming a touch portion on a second face side of the base film; and
folding the base film so that the touch portion overlaps with the image-displaying portion and the image-displaying portion is enclosed by the base film,
wherein the image-displaying portion comprises a pixel including a light-emitting element that is configured so that light from the light-emitting element is extracted through the touch region.
14. The manufacturing method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
forming a wiring over the base film so as to be electrically connected to the touch portion.
15. The manufacturing method according to claim 14 , comprising:
forming an opening portion passing through the base film,
wherein the formation of the touch portion is performed so that the touch portion is electrically connected to the wiring through the opening portion.
16. The manufacturing method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
adhering the image-displaying portion and the touch portion to a transparent substrate,
wherein the adhesion of the transparent substrate is performed so that the transparent substrate and a part of the base film are sandwiched between the image-displaying portion and the touch portion.
