Display device with cover window
A display device includes a flexible display panel and a cover window. The flexible display panel includes a display area to display an image and a pad area extending from the display area. The pad area is bent from the display area. The cover window is disposed on the flexible display panel.
1. A display device, comprising:
a flexible display panel comprising a flexible substrate, the flexible substrate comprising a display area to display an image and a non-display area comprising a pad area;
a flexible printed circuit board coupled to the pad area;
a printed circuit board coupled to the flexible printed circuit board so that a signal output from the printed circuit board can be transmitted to the display area via the flexible printed circuit board;
a cover window disposed on the flexible display panel;
wherein the non-display area is bent between the display area and pad electrodes of the pad area,
wherein the cover window is bent on the bent non-display area, and
wherein the flexible printed circuit board is disposed under the display area.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover window is extended beyond the bent non-display area in a plane substantially parallel with the display area.
3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one portion of the cover window is a curve shape corresponding to at least one portion of the bent non-display area.
4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a curvature of a first portion of the cover window overlapped with at least one portion of the bent non-display area is different from a curvature of a second portion of the cover window extended beyond the at least one portion of the bent non-display area.
5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover window covers at least one portion of the bent non-display area.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board faces the display area.
7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the printed circuit board is disposed under the display area.
8. A display device, comprising:
a flexible display panel comprising a flexible substrate, the flexible substrate comprising:
a display area to display an image; and
a non-display area comprising a pad area coupled to a chip-on-film (COF);
a printed circuit board coupled to the COF so that a signal output from the printed circuit board can be transmitted to the display area via the COF;
a cover window disposed on the flexible display panel,
wherein the non-display area is bent outside the display area, and
wherein, in a plan view, the display area completely covers the COF.
9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the cover window is extended beyond the bent non-display area in a plane substantially parallel with the display area.
10. The display device of claim 8 , wherein at least one portion of the cover window is a curve shape corresponding to at least one portion of the bent non-display area.
11. The display device of claim 8 , wherein a curvature of a first portion of the cover window overlapped with at least one portion of the bent non-display is different from a curvature of a second portion of the cover window extended beyond the at least one portion of the bent non-display area.
12. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the cover window covers at least one portion of the bent non-display area.
13. The display device of claim 8 , wherein, in the plan view, the pad area covers a portion of the COF.
14. The display device of claim 8 , wherein, in the plan view, the display area covers at least a portion of the printed circuit board.
