Abstract

A display device includes a printed circuit board attached to a side of a substrate, a frame facing the printed circuit board, a cover layer disposed between the substrate and the frame and overlapping the printed circuit board in a plan view, and a first reflective layer disposed on a surface of the frame and disposed between the frame and the cover layer.

Claims (49)

1 . A display device comprising:

a printed circuit board attached to a side of a substrate;

a frame facing the printed circuit board;

a cover layer disposed between the substrate and the frame and overlapping the printed circuit board in a plan view; and

a first reflective layer disposed on a surface of the frame and disposed between the frame and the cover layer.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first reflective layer includes at least one selected from among an organic material, an inorganic material, and a metal.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first reflective layer has a multi-layered structure in which a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are alternately and repeatedly stacked.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first reflective layer includes a plurality of protrusion structures disposed on a surface of the first reflective layer contacting the cover layer.

5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the plurality of protrusion structures is a semicircular shape, a triangular shape, or a trapezoidal shape.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first reflective layer has a thickness of about 20 nm to about 1,000 nm.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover layer includes an ultraviolet (UV)-curable material.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a space defined by the substrate, the frame, and the printed circuit board is filled with the cover layer.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the frame in a direction perpendicular to a length direction of the frame is a bar shape.

10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the frame includes:

an upper surface parallel to the substrate; and

a side surface bent in a direction intersecting the upper surface; and

the first reflective layer is disposed on the upper surface and the side surface of the frame.

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

a protective layer disposed on a surface of the first reflective layer and disposed between the first reflective layer and the cover layer.

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

a second reflective layer disposed on a surface of the printed circuit board which faces the frame.

13 . A method of manufacturing the display device of claim 1 , the method comprising:

forming the substrate to which the printed circuit board is attached and attaching ultraviolet (UV) tape to the substrate;

forming a mold in which a release layer is formed on a surface of the mold;

forming the frame in which the reflective layer is formed on the surface of the frame;

disposing the frame on the release layer of the mold;

attaching the mold to the substrate with the UV tape;

applying a cover layer material between the substrate and the frame and irradiating UV light to form the cover layer; and

detaching the mold from the substrate.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein

the cover layer is formed by being cured with the UV light; and

the frame and the substrate are connected by the cover layer.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the detaching of the mold includes irradiating the UV light onto the UV tape and then detaching the mold from the substrate.

16 . A display device comprising:

a display area and a pad part;

a transistor layer, a light-emitting element layer, a wavelength conversion layer, and an anti-reflection member which are disposed in the display area on a substrate;

a printed circuit board attached in the pad part to the substrate;

a frame facing the printed circuit board;

a cover layer disposed between the substrate and the frame and overlapping the printed circuit board in a plan view; and

a first reflective layer disposed on a surface of the frame and disposed between the frame and the cover layer.

17 . The display device of claim 16 , wherein:

the light-emitting element layer is disposed on the transistor layer;

the wavelength conversion layer is disposed on the light-emitting element layer;

the anti-reflection member is disposed on the wavelength conversion layer; and

the cover layer contacts at least one of the transistor layer, the light-emitting element layer, the wavelength conversion layer, and the anti-reflection member.

18 . The display device of claim 16 , wherein the frame contacts a side surface of the anti-reflection member.

19 . The display device of claim 16 , wherein the first reflective layer contacts at least one of the transistor layer, the light-emitting element layer, and the wavelength conversion layer.

20 . The display device of claim 19 , wherein the first reflective layer extends to the substrate and contacts an upper surface of the substrate.
