Display device, method for manufacturing the device and laser processing apparatus for manufacturing the display device
A display device including a linear portion and a curved portion, including a first substrate including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a second substrate including a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface; and a display panel disposed between the first surface of the first substrate and the fourth surface of the second substrate. An outer surface adjacent to the first surface of the first substrate protrudes outward from an outer surface adjacent to the second surface of the first substrate, and a first width of a region of the first surface of the first substrate that does not overlap with the second surface in the linear portion is greater than a second width of a region of the first surface of the first substrate that does not overlap with the second surface of the first substrate in the curved portion.
