Abstract

A display device includes: a first substrate including: a display area including a plurality of pixels, and a peripheral area positioned around the display area; a thin film transistor positioned on the first substrate; a pixel electrode layer positioned on the thin film transistor and including more than one pixel electrodes positioned in the display area; and a pixel definition layer positioned on the pixel electrode layer and including a peripheral portion overlapping a voltage transmission electrode. The peripheral portion includes a spacer and an inclination portion connected to the spacer and positioned at a first side of the spacer, and the inclination portion has a concave inclination surface.

Claims (39)
