Method of manufacturing a display device utilizing pixel and dummy portions
A display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate comprising a pixel portion configured to display an image, and a dummy portion spaced from the pixel portion, a side of the dummy portion being exposed to the outside, and an interlayer between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the pixel portion and the dummy portion each include multiple layers, and at least one layer of the pixel portion and at least one layer of the dummy portion include a same material.
1. A method for manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:
preparing a first mother substrate;
preparing a second mother substrate having a plurality of unit areas divided by an imaginary line;
forming a pixel portion at the unit areas;
forming a dummy portion along the imaginary line;
bonding the first mother substrate and the second mother substrate with an interlayer between the first mother substrate and the second mother substrate; and
cutting the first mother substrate and the second mother substrate along the imaginary line,
wherein at least a portion of the pixel portion and at least a portion of the dummy portion are formed by a same process.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the imaginary line is at the dummy portion in a plan view.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first mother substrate comprises a display area where the pixel portion is formed and a non-display area, and the dummy portion is at the non-display area.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the forming a pixel portion comprises:
forming a pixel on the first mother substrate; and
forming a sealing layer on the pixel,
wherein at least a portion of the dummy portion is formed at a same step as the sealing layer.
5. The method of claim 4 ,
wherein the pixel is formed as multiple layers, and
wherein at least a portion of the dummy portion is formed at a same step as the pixel.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a touch sensor on the first mother substrate.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cutting is performed using laser.
