Abstract

A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display area provided with a pixel array part; a terminal area arranged on a backside of the display area and provided with a connection terminal to which a signal is supplied from outside; and a bendable area to connect the display area and the terminal area, wherein the display device is provided with, in the bendable area, an under layer having flexibility, and a connection wiring which is provided on the under layer and extends from a side of the pixel array part to a side of the connection terminal, and an upper surface of the under layer has an uneven shape so that the connection wiring repeatedly turns in directions of a thickness of the under layer.

Claims (30)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display area provided with a pixel array part;

a terminal area arranged on a backside of the display area and provided with a connection terminal to which a signal is supplied from outside; and

a bendable area to connect the display area and the terminal area, wherein

the display device is provided with, in the bendable area,

an under layer having flexibility, and

a connection wiring which is provided on the under layer and extends from a side of the pixel array part to a side of the connection terminal, and

an upper surface of the under layer has an uneven shape so that the connection wiring repeatedly turns in directions of a thickness of the under layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the uneven shape is a wedge shape.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the uneven shape is a wave shape.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connection wiring is formed to be non-linear in a plan view.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein

parts of the connection wiring which are parallel to a bending direction are formed to extend over crest parts and trough parts which the uneven shape has.

6. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein

parts of the connection wiring which are parallel to a bending direction are formed to at least not extend over crest parts and trough parts which the uneven shape has.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein

the parts of the connection wiring which are parallel to the bending direction are formed to extend over a plane between crest parts and trough parts which the uneven shape has.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connection wiring is formed to be linear in a plan view.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a covering layer which has flexibility and which sandwiches the connection wiring with the under layer is provided on the bendable area.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

an upper surface of the covering layer has a uneven shape similar to the uneven shape which the upper surface of the under layer has.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

an upper surface of the covering layer is planarized regardless of the uneven shape which the upper surface of the under layer has.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connection wiring is electrically connected to the terminal area and an adjacent area which are outside the display area.
