Abstract

A thin display device with a less bezel portion is provided. The display device includes: a first substrate with flexibility, the first substrate having a display section including a first pixel; a second substrate with flexibility; and a sealant which bonds the first substrate and the second substrate together. A curved part is provided inside the sealant in a planar view. When a surface of the first substrate opposing the second substrate is taken as a front surface and a surface opposite to the front surface is taken as a back surface, the back surface inside the curved part and the back surface outside the curved part are overlapped each other in a planar view. The display section is provided in the curved part.

Claims (18)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate with flexibility, the first substrate having a display section including a first pixel;

a second substrate with flexibility;

a sealant which bonds the first substrate and the second substrate together; and

an illuminating device provided on a back surface side of the first substrate and including a light-guiding member and a light source,

wherein

the first substrate and the second substrate have a curved part so that the sealant and the display section overlap each other in a planar view, and

the light-guiding member is arranged between the display section and the sealant in a sectional view.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a color filter member, wherein

the color filter member overlaps the display section and the curved part.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light-guiding member is interposed between the back surface inside the curved part and the back surface outside the curved part, and

the light source opposes the curved part.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first pixel has a thin-film transistor and a pixel electrode to which a video signal is supplied via the thin-film transistor, and

the first pixel is not arranged in a part of the curved part or in a part inside the sealant part and outside the curved part.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a resin layer is provided on the back surface of the first substrate outside the curved part.
