Abstract

A display device includes a display panel including a display region, a terminal region provided with a terminal, and a bending region located between the display region and the terminal region and capable of bending, the terminal region being located on a rear surface side opposite to a display surface side with respect to the display region based on the bending region bent and a protective coating provided on the display surface side of the bending region. When a direction in which the display region, the bending region, and the terminal region are arranged is defined as a first direction and a direction crossing the first direction is defined as a second direction, the bending region includes a bank portion located in the second direction with respect to the protective coating, projecting to the display surface side, and extending in the first direction.

Claims (74)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display panel including a flexible substrate, a display region on a first surface of the flexible substrate, a terminal region on the first surface of the flexible substrate, and a bending region between the display region and the terminal region; and

a resin layer covering the first surface of the flexible substrate at the bending region, wherein

the bending region includes a first bank,

the first bank is between a first edge of the flexible substrate and the resin layer in a planar view,

the resin layer is in contact with the first bank,

the resin layer is formed apart from the first edge of the flexible substrate,

the bending region includes a base material, a wiring line on the first surface of the flexible substrate, and an insulating film covering the wiring line, and

the first bank is formed apart from the insulating film.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a direction in which the display region, the bending region, and the terminal region are arranged is defined as a first direction and a direction crossing the first direction is defined as a second direction, and

the first bank extends in the first direction.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a groove is formed between the insulating film and the first bank.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the resin layer overlaps with at least a part of the groove.

5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bank is formed of a same material as the insulating film.

6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a direction in which the display region, the bending region, and the terminal region are arranged is defined as a first direction and a direction crossing the first direction is defined as a second direction, and

the resin layer covers a whole of the insulating film in the second direction.

7 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin layer covers an edge of the insulating film.

8 . The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second bank, wherein

the second bank is between a second edge of the flexible substrate and the resin layer in the planar view,

the resin layer is between the first bank and the second bank in the planar view,

the resin layer is in contact with the second bank, and

the resin layer is formed apart from the second edge of the flexible substrate.

9 . The display device according to claim 8 , wherein

the first bank and the second bank are between the first edge of the flexible substrate and the second edge of the flexible substrate in the planar view.

10 . A display device comprising:

a display panel including a flexible substrate, a display region on a first surface of the flexible substrate, a terminal region on the first surface of the flexible substrate, and a bending region between the display region and the terminal region, wherein

the bending region includes a pair of bank portions,

the bending region includes a base material, a wiring line on the first surface of the flexible substrate, and an insulating film covering the wiring line, and

the pair of bank portions are formed apart from the insulating film.

11 . The display device according to claim 10 , wherein

a direction in which the display region, the bending region, and the terminal region are arranged is defined as a first direction and a direction crossing the first direction is defined as a second direction, and

each of the pair of bank portions extends in the first direction.

12 . The display device according to claim 10 , wherein

a groove is formed between the insulating film and each of the pair of bank portions.

13 . The display device according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a resin layer covering the first surface of the flexible substrate at the bending region, wherein

one of the pair of bank portions is between a first edge of the flexible substrate and the resin layer in a planar view,

another one of the pair of bank portions is between a second edge of the flexible substrate and the resin layer in the planar view, and

the resin layer overlaps with at least a part of the groove.

14 . The display device according to claim 13 , wherein

a direction in which the display region, the bending region, and the terminal region are arranged is defined as a first direction and a direction crossing the first direction is defined as a second direction, and

the resin layer covers a whole of the insulating film in the second direction.

15 . The display device according to claim 10 , wherein

the pair of bank portions are formed of a same material as the insulating film.

16 . A display device comprising:

a display panel including a flexible substrate, a display region on a first surface of the flexible substrate, a terminal region on the first surface of the flexible substrate, and a bending region between the display region and the terminal region; and

a resin layer covering on the first surface of the flexible substrate at the bending region,

wherein

the bending region includes a pair of bank portions,

one of the pair of bank portions is between a first edge of the flexible substrate and the resin layer in a planar view,

another one of the pair of bank portions is between a second edge of the flexible substrate and the resin layer in the planar view,

each of the pair of bank portions is formed apart from each other,

the resin layer is between the pair of bank portions in the planar view,

the resin layer is in contact with both of the pair of bank portions,

the resin layer is neither in contact with the first edge of the flexible substrate nor the second edge of the flexible substrate,

the bending region includes a base material, a wiring line on the first surface of the flexible substrate, and an insulating film covering the wiring line, and

the pair of bank portions are formed of a same material as the insulating film.

17 . The display device according to claim 16 , wherein

a direction in which the display region, the bending region, and the terminal region are arranged is defined as a first direction and a direction crossing the first direction is defined as a second direction, and

each of the pair of bank portions extends in the first direction.
