Abstract

A display device according to an embodiment includes a substrate having a display area, and a peripheral area outside the display area including a first peripheral area adjacent to the display area, a first bending area extending from the first peripheral area, and a second peripheral area extending from the first bending area, and overlapping the first peripheral area, a display member at the display area, and including a first display area, and a second display area around the first display area, and a plurality of align keys on the substrate, wherein the first peripheral area includes a flat peripheral area corresponding to an area between the first display area and the first bending area, and a second bending area between the second display area and an end of the substrate, and wherein the plurality of align keys include a first align key at the flat peripheral area, and a second align key at the second peripheral area.

Claims (27)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate having a display area, and a peripheral area that is outside of the display area and comprises:

a first peripheral area adjacent to the display area;

a first bending area extending from the first peripheral area; and

a second peripheral area extending from the first bending area, and overlapping the first peripheral area when the first bending area is bent;

a display member at the display area for displaying an image, and comprising a first display area, and a second display area that is around the first display area; and

a plurality of align keys on the substrate,

wherein the first peripheral area comprises:

a flat peripheral area corresponding to an area between the first display area and the first bending area; and

a second bending area between the second display area and an end of the substrate, and

wherein the plurality of align keys comprise a first align key at the flat peripheral area, and a second align key at the second peripheral area.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first align key is not at the second bending area or at the second display area.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second display area and the second bending area are bent together.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first bending area is under the substrate in a plane view, and wherein the second bending area is at a side of the substrate in a plane view.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first align key and the second align key do not overlap, and are separated from each other, in a plane view.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the first align key comprises a left first align key at a left of the substrate, and a right first align key at a right of the substrate,

wherein the second align key comprises a left second align key at the left of the substrate, and a right second align key at the right of the substrate,

wherein the left first align key and the left second align key do not overlap each other and are separated from each other in a plane view, and

wherein the right first align key and the right second align key do not overlap each other and are separated from each other in a plane view.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a width of the first bending area is less than a width of the first peripheral area, and

wherein a width of the second peripheral area is less than the width of the first peripheral area.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a maximum curvature of the first bending area is greater than a maximum value of the curvature of the second bending area.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second bending area does not overlap the display area.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a protection film attached under the substrate,

wherein the protection film comprises a first protection film attached at a position corresponding to the first peripheral area and the display area, and a second protection film attached at a position corresponding to the second peripheral area, and

wherein the first protection film and the second protection film are not attached at a position corresponding to the first bending area.

11. The display device of claim 10 , further comprising a supporting member between the first protection film and the second protection film.
