Abstract

A display device includes: an insulating substrate, where a through hole is defined through the insulating substrate; and an organic layer which covers the insulating substrate. In the display device, a barrier area surrounding the through hole is defined in the insulating substrate, and an interruption portion, at which the organic layer is interrupted, is defined in the barrier area.

Claims (21)

1. A display device comprising:

an insulating substrate comprising an active area, a through hole defined through the insulating substrate, and a barrier area surrounding the through hole; and

an organic layer disposed in the active area and the barrier area of the insulating substrate,

wherein at least one interruption portion, at which the organic layer is interrupted, is defined in the barrier area, and

wherein the organic layer is uninterrupted in a top plan view in a thickness direction of the insulating substrate.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the organic layer is disposed on the interruption portion.

3. The display device of claim 2 ,

wherein a first area is defined between the adjacent interruption portions,

wherein a second portion of the organic layer is disposed in the first area.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first portion of the organic layer is not coupled to the second portion of the organic layer.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the organic layer comprises an organic light emitting layer.

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

a first electrode disposed in the active area, and

a second electrode opposite to the first electrode,

wherein the organic layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode.

7. The display device of claim 6 , further comprising:

an encapsulation film disposed on the second electrode, wherein the encapsulation film comprises a first inorganic film, a first organic film disposed on the first inorganic film, and a second inorganic film disposed on the first inorganic film.

8. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a dam disposed in the barrier area,

wherein the dam does not overlap the first organic film, and the dam overlaps the first inorganic film and the second inorganic film.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the first inorganic film and the second inorganic film directly contact each other on the dam.
