Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes an insulating substrate having a display area, a pad area and a bend area, wiring lines, a first protective film and a second protective film. The wiring lines are elongated from the display area to the pad area. The first protective film is located on the insulating substrate and the wiring lines. The second protective film is located on the first protective film and is formed of an organic insulating material different from that of the first protective film.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

an insulating substrate which has a display area, a pad area and a bend area located between the display area and the pad area;

a plurality of wiring lines which are formed on the insulating substrate and are elongated from the display area to the pad area;

a first protective film which is located on the insulating substrate and the wiring lines in the bend area and is formed of an organic insulating material; and

a second protective film which is located on the first protective film in the bend area and is formed of an organic insulating material different from the organic insulating material of the first protective film,

wherein

the first protective film is formed separately for each of the wiring lines.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a glass-transition temperature of the first protective film is higher than a glass-transition temperature of the second protective film.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the wiring lines has a bend portion in the bend area.

4. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first insulating layer formed on the insulating substrate; and

a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer,

wherein

the wiring lines are located between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer are inorganic insulating layers.

6. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer have shapes which are substantially equal to a shape of the wiring lines in the bend area.

7. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer are formed separately for each of the wiring lines.

8. A display device comprising:

an insulating substrate which has a display area, a pad area, and a bend area located between the display area and the pad area;

a first insulating layer formed on the insulating substrate;

a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer;

a plurality of wiring lines which are formed between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer and are elongated from the display area to the pad area;

a first protective film which is located on the insulating substrate and the wiring lines in the bend area, and is formed of an organic insulating material; and

a second protective film which is located on the first protective film in the bend area and is formed of an organic insulating material different from the organic insulating material of the first protective film,

wherein

a glass-transition temperature of the first protective film is higher than a glass-transition temperature of the second protective film.
