wherein a size of the at least one substrate is larger than a size of the second layer such that an extending portion of a rear of the at least one substrate extends beyond an edge of the second layer, and
wherein the extending portion of the rear of the at least one substrate is coupled to the adhesive layer.
13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the display panel further comprises a sealing member configured to cover a lateral edge of the at least one substrate.
14. A display device comprising:
a display panel;
a main frame at a rear of the display panel;
a side frame extending along sides of the display panel and including:
a first part extending along a first short side of the display panel;
a second part adjacent to the first part and extending along a first long side of the display panel; and
a third part adjacent to the second part and extending along a second short side of the display panel facing the first short side;
wherein each of the first part, the second part, and the third part of the side frame comprises:
a flat portion facing a rear surface of the display panel and coupled to the rear surface of the display panel;
an exterior portion extending beyond a corresponding side of the display panel and covering an edge part of the main frame such that the exterior portion of the side frame forms an exterior surface of the display device,
wherein an adhesive layer is attached on a front surface of the flat portion of the side frame and the rear surface of the display panel is attached on the adhesive layer,
wherein an adhesive member is attached on a rear surface of the flat portion of the side frame and the adhesive member is attached to the main frame adjacent to the edge part of the main frame, and
wherein the adhesive layer overlaps with the adhesive member in a direction of the thickness of the display panel.
15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein a front part of the edge part of the main frame supports the rear surface of the flat portion of the side frame and a side part of the edge part of the main frame supports an inner surface of the exterior portion of the side frame.
