Abstract

A display device is provided and includes a supporting substrate, a first flexible substrate, an oxide layer, a first insulating layer, a light emitting unit, and a protective layer. The first flexible substrate is disposed on the supporting substrate, and the oxide layer is disposed on the first flexible substrate. The first insulating layer is disposed on the oxide layer, and in a cross-sectional view, the first insulating layer has at least one opening. The light emitting unit is disposed on the first insulating layer, the protective layer is disposed on the light emitting unit, and at least a portion of the protective layer is disposed in the at least one opening.

Claims (26)

a protective layer disposed on the light emitting unit; and

another oxide layer and a second insulating layer, wherein the another oxide layer is disposed between the supporting substrate and the first flexible substrate, the second insulating layer is disposed between the oxide layer and the first insulating layer, and a ratio of a sum of a thickness of the oxide layer, a thickness of the second insulating layer and a thickness of the first insulating layer to a thickness of the another oxide layer is in a range from 0.5 to 2;

wherein at least a portion of the protective layer is disposed in the at least one opening.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit layer disposed between the oxide layer and the protective layer, wherein the protective layer covers the circuit layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the protective layer contacts the oxide layer.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein an edge of the protective layer is curve-shaped.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the protective layer between the at least one opening and an edge of the first flexible substrate gradually decreases towards the edge of the first flexible substrate.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide layer is directly on the first flexible substrate, and wherein in the cross-sectional view, a width of a bottom surface of the another oxide layer is greater than a width of a bottom surface of the oxide layer.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second flexible substrate and an adhesive layer, wherein the second flexible substrate is disposed between the supporting substrate and the first flexible substrate, and the supporting substrate is adhered to the second flexible substrate by the adhesive layer.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second insulating layer directly contacts the first insulating layer, and the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer have the at least one opening.
