Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first substrate including a first basement and a first terminal, a second substrate opposing the first substrate and including a second basement and a second terminal, an organic insulating layer located between the first basement and the second basement, a first hole penetrating the second basement and the organic insulating layer, a second hole penetrating at least one of the second basement and the organic insulating layer and communicating to the first hole and a connecting material provided at least one of the first hole and the second hole to electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal to each other.

Claims (76)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate comprising a first basement and a first terminal;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate and comprising a second basement and a second terminal;

an organic insulating layer located between the first basement and the second basement;

a first hole penetrating the second basement and the organic insulating layer;

a second hole penetrating at least one of the second basement and the organic insulating layer and communicating to the first hole;

a connecting material provided on at least one of the first hole and the second hole to electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal to each other; and

a detection electrode connected to the second terminal and extending along a first direction, wherein

the first hole has a first opening at a upper surface of the second substrate,

the second hole has a second opening at the upper surface, and

the first opening and the second opening are arranged along a second direction which crosses the first direction.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein

a central axis of the second hole is inclined with respect to a central axis of the first hole.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein

the first hole comprises a first hole portion penetrating the second basement, and

the second hole penetrates from an upper surface of the second basement to the first hole portion.

4. The device of claim 2 , wherein

the second hole penetrates the second basement and the organic insulating layer.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the first hole comprises a first hole portion penetrating the second basement and a second hole portion penetrating the organic insulating layer,

the second hole comprises a third hole portion penetrating the second basement and a fourth hole portion penetrating the organic insulating layer, and

the first hole portion and the third hole portion are spaced apart from each other and the second hole portion and the fourth hole portion are communicated to each other.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the first opening and the second opening are spaced apart from each other in plan view.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the first opening and the second opening are partially communicated to each other in plan view.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the second hole penetrates the organic insulating layer between an outer end portion of the organic insulating layer and the first hole.

9. An inter-substrate conducting structure comprising:

a first substrate comprising a first basement and a first terminal;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate and comprising a second basement and a second terminal;

an organic insulating layer located between the first basement and the second basement;

a first hole penetrating the second basement and the organic insulating layer;

a second hole penetrating at least one of the second basement and the organic insulating layer and communicating to the first hole;

a connecting material provided on at least one of the first hole and the second hole to electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal to each other; and

a detection electrode connected to the second terminal and extending along a first direction, wherein

the first hole has a first opening at the upper surface of the second substrate,

the second hole has a second opening at the upper surface, and

the first opening and the second opening are arranged along a second direction which crosses the first direction.

10. The structure of claim 9 , wherein

a central axis of the second hole is inclined with respect to a central axis of the first hole.

11. The structure of claim 10 , wherein

the first hole comprises a first hole portion penetrating the second basement, and

the second hole penetrates from an upper surface of the second basement to the first hole portion.

12. The structure of claim 10 , wherein

the second hole penetrates the second basement and the organic insulating layer.

13. The structure of claim 9 , wherein

the first hole comprises a first hole portion penetrating the second basement and a second hole portion penetrating the organic insulating layer,

the second hole comprises a third hole portion penetrating the second basement and a fourth hole portion penetrating the organic insulating layer, and

the first hole portion and the third hole portion are spaced apart from each other and the second hole portion and the fourth hole portion are communicated to each other.

14. The structure of claim 9 , wherein

the first opening and the second opening are spaced apart from each other in plan view.

15. The structure of claim 9 , wherein

the first opening and the second opening are partially communicated to each other in plan view.

16. The structure of claim 9 , wherein

the second hole penetrates the organic insulating layer between an outer end portion of the organic insulating layer and the first hole.

17. A display device comprising:

a first substrate comprising a first basement and a first terminal;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate and comprising a second basement and a second terminal;

an organic insulating layer located between the first basement and the second basement;

a first hole penetrating the second basement and the organic insulating layer;

a second hole penetrating the organic insulating layer and communicating to the first hole; and

a connecting material provided on at least the first hole to electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal to each other, wherein

the first basement has a first side edge, and second basement has a second side edge, and the organic insulating layer has a third side edge, the first to third side edge flush with each other,

the first hole has a first opening at a upper surface of the second substrate, and

the second hole has a second opening at the third edge.

18. An inter-substrate conducting structure comprising:

a first substrate comprising a first basement and a first terminal;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate and comprising a second basement and a second terminal;

an organic insulating layer located between the first basement and the second basement;

a first hole penetrating the second basement and the organic insulating layer;

a second hole penetrating the organic insulating layer and communicating to the first hole; and

a connecting material provided on at least the first hole to electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal to each other, wherein

the first basement has a first side edge, and second basement has a second side edge, and the organic insulating layer has a third side edge, the first to third side edge flush with each other,
