Abstract

A display device includes: a substrate; a display unit on the substrate; and an encapsulation member on the display unit, wherein the substrate comprises: a first inclined surface inclined with respect to a first surface of the substrate; and a first side surface connected to the first inclined surface and arranged at a predetermined angle from the first inclined surface, wherein a surface roughness of the first side surface is different from a surface roughness of the first inclined surface.

Claims (32)

1 . A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a display unit on the substrate; and

an encapsulation member on the display unit,

wherein the substrate comprises:

a first inclined surface inclined with respect to a first surface of the substrate; and

a first side surface connected to the first inclined surface and arranged at a predetermined angle from the first inclined surface, wherein a surface roughness of the first side surface is different from a surface roughness of the first inclined surface.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a surface roughness of the first surface of the substrate, the first surface being connected to the first inclined surface, is different from the surface roughness of the first inclined surface.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate further comprises a second inclined surface connected to the first side surface and inclined with respect to the first surface of the substrate.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein an angle of the first inclined surface with respect to the first surface of the substrate is different from an angle of the second inclined surface with respect to a second surface of the substrate.

5 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein a sum of a first angle between the first surface of the substrate and the first inclined surface, a second angle between the first inclined surface and the first side surface, and a third angle between a second surface of the substrate and the second inclined surface is less than 450 degrees, the second surface being opposite to the first surface.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a height from the first surface of the substrate to an end of the first inclined surface is less than half of a thickness of the substrate.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation member comprises a thin-film encapsulation layer.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation member comprises:

an encapsulation substrate facing the substrate; and

a sealing portion between the substrate and the encapsulation substrate and sealing the display unit.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the encapsulation substrate comprises:

a third inclined surface inclined with respect to a first surface of the encapsulation substrate; and

a second side surface connected to the third inclined surface and arranged at a predetermined angle from the third inclined surface.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein a surface roughness of the second side surface is different from a surface roughness of the third inclined surface.

11 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein a surface roughness of the first surface of the encapsulation substrate, the first surface being connected to the third inclined surface, is different from a surface roughness of the third inclined surface.

12 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the encapsulation substrate further comprises a fourth inclined surface connected to the second side surface and inclined with respect to the first surface of the encapsulation substrate.

13 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein an angle of the third inclined surface with respect to the second side surface is different from an angle of the fourth inclined surface with respect to the second side surface.

14 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein a sum of a fourth angle between the first surface of the encapsulation substrate and the third inclined surface, a fifth angle between the third inclined surface and the second side surface, and a sixth angle between a second surface of the encapsulation substrate and the fourth inclined surface is less than 450 degrees, the second surface being opposite to the first surface of the encapsulation substrate.

15 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein a height from a surface of the encapsulation substrate to an end of the third inclined surface is less than half of a thickness of the encapsulation substrate.

16 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the third inclined surface comprises a plurality of inclined surfaces having different angles from each other with respect to a surface of the encapsulation substrate.

17 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first inclined surface comprises a plurality of inclined surfaces having different angles from each other with respect to a surface of the substrate.

18 . An electronic device comprising:

a cover member;

a cover coupled to the cover member; and

a display device inside the cover member and the cover,

wherein the display device comprises the display device according to claim 1 .
