Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a display device including: a flexible substrate including an active area and a bezel area disposed outside the active area, the active area including a module area in which multiple holes are provided; a back plate disposed on one surface of the flexible substrate, and being provided with an opening disposed in a manner that corresponds to the module area; a thin-film transistor and wire formation layer disposed on another surface of the flexible substrate, and including multiple light-transmitting areas disposed in a manner that corresponds to the opening; and a module received within the opening of the back plate, wherein the module receives light from outside through the multiple light-transmitting areas, the multiple holes, and the opening.

Claims (21)

1. A display device comprising:

a back plate including an opening;

a module disposed in the opening of the back plate;

a flexible substrate disposed on the back plate, the flexible substrate overlapping the opening;

a buffer layer disposed on the module, the buffer layer including a plurality of different inorganic materials;

a plurality of sub-pixels disposed on the module;

a bank disposed on the module and disposed between the plurality of sub-pixels;

an encapsulation layer disposed on the plurality of sub-pixels and the bank;

a thin-film transistor disposed on the module, the thin-film transistor configured to supply a signal to at least one of the plurality of sub-pixels and the thin-film transistor including an oxide semiconductor layer;

a wire disposed on a layer on which the thin-film transistor is disposed on the module, the wire supplying the signal to the at least one of the plurality of sub-pixels;

multiple light-transmitting areas disposed between the plurality of sub-pixels and disposed on a layer on which the thin-film transistor and the wire are disposed.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of different inorganic materials includes a silicon oxide film.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the module includes at least one of a camera or a sensor.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the thin-film transistor is not disposed in the multiple light-transmitting areas.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of sub-pixels includes an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and an organic emission layer.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation layer comprises a multi-layer structure in which inorganic and organic layers are alternately disposed.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the flexible substrate includes multiple holes.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the multiple holes overlap the multiple light-transmitting areas.

9. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a polarizing film disposed over the opening.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the module receives light from outside through the polarizing film, the encapsulation layer, the bank, the multiple light-transmitting areas, the multiple holes, and the opening.
