Abstract

The display device includes: a flexible display panel including a display portion in which scanning lines and signal lines cross each other; a supporting portion for supporting an end portion of the flexible display panel; a signal line driver circuit for outputting a signal to the signal line, which is provided for the supporting portion; and a scanning line driver circuit for outputting a signal to the scanning line, which is provided for a flexible surface of the display panel in a direction which is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the supporting portion.

Claims (42)

1. A display device comprising:

a first resin;

a second resin;

a display portion;

a scanning line driver circuit; and

a signal line driver circuit,

wherein the display portion has a region located between the first resin and the second resin,

wherein the scanning line driver circuit has a region located between the first resin and the second resin,

wherein the signal line driver circuit is not located between the first resin and the second resin,

wherein the first resin has a first region overlapping with the display portion and the scanning line driver circuit, a second region overlapping with the display portion and the scanning line driver circuit, and a third region overlapping with the signal line driver circuit,

wherein the first resin has a function to bend in a region between the first region and the second region, and

wherein the first resin has a function to bend in a region between the second region and the third region.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first resin or the second resin comprises an aramid resin or a polyimide resin.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display portion comprises a liquid-crystal display element.

4. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display portion comprises a light-emitting element.

5. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a stress concentration region in form of a cut portion (depression or groove) is provided at a portion at which a display panel is bent.

6. A display device comprising:

a first resin;

a second resin;

a display portion;

a scanning line driver circuit; and

a signal line driver circuit,

wherein a first transistor in the display portion has a region located between the first resin and the second resin,

wherein a second transistor in the scanning line driver circuit has a region located between the first resin and the second resin,

wherein the signal line driver circuit is not located between the first resin and the second resin,

wherein the first resin has a first region overlapping with the display portion and the scanning line driver circuit, a second region overlapping with the display portion and the scanning line driver circuit, and a third region overlapping with the signal line driver circuit,

wherein the first resin has a function to bend in a region between the first region and the second region, and

wherein the first resin has a function to bend in a region between the second region and the third region.

7. The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first resin or the second resin comprises an aramid resin or a polyimide resin.

8. The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the display portion comprises a liquid-crystal display element.

9. The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the display portion comprises a light-emitting element.

10. The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first transistor comprises an oxide semiconductor in a channel-formation region.

11. The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein a stress concentration region in form of a cut portion (depression or groove) is provided at a portion at which a display panel is bent.
