Abstract

A display device includes a substrate that includes a bending area, a display active layer disposed on the substrate and that displays an image, a polarization layer disposed on the display active layer, a protective layer that contacts an end of the polarization layer and covers the bending area of the substrate; and an adhesive layer disposed on a boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer, the adhesive layer extends from the end of the polarization layer toward the bending area by an extension area to overlap a portion of the protective layer.

Claims (51)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate that includes a bending area;

a display active layer disposed on the substrate and that displays an image;

a polarization layer disposed on the display active layer;

a protective layer that contacts an end of the polarization layer and covers the bending area of the substrate; and

an adhesive layer disposed on a boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer, the adhesive layer extends from the end of the polarization layer toward the bending area by an extension area to overlap a portion of the protective layer.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the extension area ranges from 50 μm to 300 μm in width.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes

a display area on which the display active layer is disposed and

a non-display area that includes the bending area.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the adhesive layer overlaps the polarization layer in the display area, and overlaps the portion of the protective layer in the non-display area, and

the protective layer contacts an end of the display active layer.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the protective layer is coplanar with an upper surface of the polarization layer.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the protective layer is higher than an upper surface of the polarization layer.

7. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising

a laminated member disposed on the adhesive layer,

wherein the laminated member is disposed on the boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the laminated member is a touch panel.

9. A display device comprising:

a substrate that includes a bending area;

a display active layer disposed on the substrate and that displays an image;

a polarization layer disposed on the display active layer;

a protective layer that contacts an end of the polarization layer and covers the bending area of the substrate;

an adhesive layer disposed on the polarization layer; and

a filling layer disposed on a boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer that contacts an end of the adhesive layer, and includes an extension area that extends from the end of the polarization layer toward the bending area and overlaps a portion of the protective layer.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the extension area ranges from 50 μm to 300 μm in width.

11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the substrate includes

a display area on which the display active layer is disposed and

a non-display area that includes the bending area.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein

the filling layer overlaps some of the polarization layer in the display area, and overlaps the portion of the protective layer in the non-display area, and

the protective layer contacts an end of the display active layer.

13. The display device of claim 9 , further comprising

a laminated member disposed on the adhesive layer and the filling layer,

wherein the laminated member is disposed on the boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer.

14. A display device comprising:

a substrate that includes a bending area;

a display active layer disposed on the substrate and that displays an image;

a protective layer that contacts an end side surface of the display active layer and covers the bending area of the substrate;

a polarization layer disposed on a boundary between the display active layer and the protective layer and that includes an extension area that extends from the end of the display active layer toward the bending area and overlaps a portion of an upper surface of the protective layer in the extension area; and

a first adhesive layer disposed between the display active layer and the polarization layer,

wherein the first adhesive layer overlaps the display active layer in the display area, and extends from the end of the display active layer toward the bending area and overlaps the portion of the protective layer in the non-display area.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the extension area ranges from 50 μm to 300 μm in width.

16. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the substrate includes a display area on which the display active layer is disposed and a non-display area that includes the bending area.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the polarization layer overlaps the display active layer in the display area, and overlaps the portion of the protective layer in the non-display area.

18. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second adhesive layer disposed on the polarization layer; and

a laminated member disposed on the second adhesive layer,

wherein the laminated member overlaps a boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer.

19. The display device of claim 18 , wherein the second adhesive layer overlaps the polarization layer in the display area, and does not extend into the non-display area.
