Abstract

The display device includes a substrate including a first resin layer, a second resin layer overlapping the first resin layer, and a first inorganic insulating layer between the first resin layer and the second resin layer, and having flexibility, a display region provided on the substrate, a terminal region arranged outside the display region on the substrate, and a bending region arranged between the display region and the terminal region. A thickness of the second resin layer is larger than a thickness of the first resin layer. The substrate includes a first region and a second region. The first resin layer, the first inorganic insulating layer, and the second resin layer are laminated in the first region. The first resin layer and the second resin layer are laminated in the second region and the first inorganic insulating layer is not laminated in the second region.

Claims (32)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate including a first resin layer, a second resin layer overlapping the first resin layer, and a first inorganic insulating layer between the first resin layer and the second resin layer, and having flexibility;

a display region provided on the substrate;

a terminal region arranged outside the display region on the substrate;

a bending region arranged between the display region and the terminal region; and

an inorganic material layer provided between the first resin layer and the first inorganic insulating layer or between the first inorganic insulating layer and the second resin layer,

wherein

a thickness of the second resin layer is larger than a thickness of the first resin layer,

the substrate includes a first region and a second region,

the first resin layer, the first inorganic insulating layer, and the second resin layer are laminated in the first region,

the first resin layer and the second resin layer are laminated in the second region and the first inorganic insulating layer is not laminated in the second region,

the first region overlaps the display region and the second region overlaps the bending region,

the second region overlaps the terminal region, and

the thickness of the first resin layer is 70% or less of the thickness of the second resin layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first inorganic insulating layer includes silicon nitride.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the inorganic material layer includes silicon oxide or amorphous silicon.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a second inorganic insulating layer provided on the substrate;

a semiconductor layer provided on the second inorganic insulating layer;

a third inorganic insulating layer provided on the semiconductor layer; and

a gate electrode overlapping the semiconductor layer on the third inorganic insulating layer,

wherein

the second region includes a third region in which the first resin layer does not overlap the second inorganic insulating layer and the third inorganic insulating layer.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a fourth inorganic insulating layer provided on the third inorganic insulating layer in the first region;

an organic insulating layer provided on the fourth inorganic insulating layer; and

a fifth inorganic insulating layer provided on the organic insulating layer,

wherein

the fourth inorganic insulating layer is in contact with the fifth inorganic insulating layer in an edge of the first region,

the second region includes a fourth region in which the first resin layer does not overlap the fourth inorganic insulating layer and the fifth inorganic insulating layer.
