Abstract

A display device includes: a substrate including a curved portion and a flat portion; an insulating layer disposed on the substrate; a first organic light emitting diode disposed on the insulating layer and having a first projection; and a second organic light emitting diode having a second projection, wherein a light emission portion is disposed in the curved portion and the flat portion, the first projection overlaps the light emission portion disposed in the curved portion and is asymmetric in the light emission portion, and the second projection overlaps the light emission portion in the flat portion and is symmetric in the light emission portion.

Claims (40)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate including a curved portion and a flat portion, wherein the curved portion is bent and connected to a side of the flat portion;

an insulating layer disposed on the substrate; and

a first organic light emitting diode disposed on the insulating layer and having a first projection; and

a second organic light emitting diode having a second projection,

wherein a light emission portion is disposed in the curved portion and the flat portion,

the first projection which overlaps the light emission portion of the curved portion and disposed in a first opening of a pixel definition layer is asymmetrically disposed with respect to a line passing through the middle of the first opening, and

the second projection which overlaps the light emission portion of the flat portion and disposed in a second opening of the pixel definition layer is symmetrically disposed with respect to a line passing through the middle of the second opening.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising

a wiring layer disposed between the substrate and the insulating layer and disposed in the curved portion and the flat portion,

wherein the wiring layer disposed in the curved portion overlaps the first projection, and the wiring layer disposed in the flat portion overlaps the second projection.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the light emission portion disposed in the curved portion includes a first light emission portion, a second light emission portion, and a third light emission portion, the first light emission portion, the second light emission portion, and the third light emission portion respectively corresponding to one of a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel,

the light emission portion in the first opening is the first light emission portion, and

the first projection also overlaps the third light emission portion in a third opening of the pixel definition layer and is asymmetrically disposed with respect to a line passing through the middle of the third opening.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first projection includes a pair of first bumps and a pair of third bumps, the pair of first bumps is disposed asymmetrically with respect to the line passing through the middle of the first opening, and the pair of third bumps is disposed asymmetrically with respect to the line passing through the middle of the third opening.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first projection also overlaps the second light emission portion in a fourth opening of the pixel definition layer and is asymmetrically disposed with respect to a line passing through the middle of the fourth opening.

6.
