Abstract

An electroluminescent display device includes a substrate including an active area, and bezel area outside the active area and including a bending area, a first organic insulation layer (OIL) in the active area, covering a first signal line extending from the active area to the bezel area, a second OIL in the bending area, the second OIL being in a same layer as the first organic insulation film, first and second touch electrodes crossing over each other and sealing the active area on an encapsulation layer above the first OIL with a third OIL therebetween, a first signal line link pattern connected to the first signal line, and on the second OIL in the bending area, and second and third signal lines respectively connected to the first and second touch electrodes, and on the second OIL in parallel with the first signal line link pattern.

Claims (17)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate including an active area and a bezel area adjacent to the active area, the bezel area including a bending area and a pad area;

a light-emitting element on the active area of the substrate;

an encapsulation layer on the light-emitting element;

a touch sensor on the encapsulation layer;

a touch pad on the pad area of the substrate;

a touch routing line on the bending area of the substrate, the touch routing line being configured to electrically connect the touch sensor to the touch pad;

a thin film transistor on the active area of the substrate; and

a planarization layer on the thin film transistor,

wherein the organic insulation material and the planarization layer are formed of a same material,

wherein the bending area includes an organic insulation material respectively disposed at an upper side and a lower side of the touch routing line, and

wherein the planarization layer is also disposed between the substrate and the organic insulating material disposed below the touch routing line in the bending area.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the organic insulation material comprises:

an organic pattern between the substrate and the planarization layer; and

an organic insulation layer on the touch routing line.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the planarization layer is in direct contact with the substrate.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the organic pattern and the organic insulation layer are formed of a same material.
