Display device
A display device includes a lower substrate that includes a side surface having a first inclined surface. An upper substrate is disposed on the lower substrate and includes a side surface having a second inclined surface. A first electrode is disposed on a surface of at least one of the lower substrate or the upper substrate. An auxiliary electrode is disposed on the first inclined surface of the lower substrate and the second inclined surface of the upper substrate. The auxiliary electrode includes a first portion corresponding to the first inclined surface, a second portion corresponding to the second inclined surface, and a bent portion bent at a predetermined angle with respect to the first and second inclined surfaces. The first electrode may be in contact with the bent portion on the first exposed surface to electrically connect to the auxiliary electrode.
1. A display device comprising:
a lower substrate that includes a side surface having a first inclined surface;
an upper substrate disposed on the lower substrate, the upper substrate including a side surface having a second inclined surface;
a first electrode disposed on a surface of at least one of the lower substrate or the upper substrate; and
an auxiliary electrode disposed on the first inclined surface of the lower substrate and the second inclined surface of the upper substrate,
wherein the auxiliary electrode includes a first portion corresponding to the first inclined surface, a second portion corresponding to the second inclined surface, and a bent portion that is bent at a predetermined angle with respect to the first and second inclined surfaces, and
the first electrode is in contact with the bent portion of the auxiliary electrode on a first exposed surface of the first electrode to electrically connect the first electrode to the auxiliary electrode.
