Abstract

A display device includes a window, a display panel arranged below the window and including a display area and a peripheral area outside the display area; and a component arranged below the display panel and at least partially overlapping the peripheral area, wherein a black matrix is arranged on a bottom surface of the window in correspondence with an area in the peripheral area other than an area where the component is located.

Claims (49)

1. A display device comprising:

a window;

a display panel below the window, comprising a substrate and comprising a display area and a peripheral area outside the display area; and

a component below the substrate of the display panel and at least partially overlapping the peripheral area,

wherein a black matrix is on a bottom surface of the window in correspondence with an area other than an area where the component is located in the peripheral area, and

wherein the substrate comprises multiple layers.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the component overlaps the peripheral area in a corner of the display panel.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the window comprises an extended portion extending outside the peripheral area of the display panel, and

at least a portion of the component overlaps the extended portion of the window.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein, in the peripheral area of the display panel, a first area where the component is located is different in light transmittance from that of a second area outside the first area.

5. A display device comprising:

a window;

a display panel below the window, comprising a substrate and comprising a display area and a peripheral area outside the display area; and

a component below the substrate of the display panel and at least partially overlapping the peripheral area,

wherein a black matrix is on a bottom surface of the window in correspondence with an area other than an area where the component is located in the peripheral area,

wherein the display panel comprises:

the substrate;

an insulating layer above the substrate in the display area and the peripheral area, the insulating layer having a first opening in the peripheral area;

a pixel electrode above the insulating layer in the display area;

a first conductive layer above the insulating layer in the peripheral area and covering the first opening;

an intermediate layer on the pixel electrode; and

an opposite electrode covering the intermediate layer and contacting the first conductive layer.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the component does not overlap the opposite electrode in the peripheral area.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the component at least partially overlaps the opposite electrode in the peripheral area.

8. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the display panel further comprises a second conductive layer in the peripheral area, outside the first opening, and below the insulating layer,

wherein the insulating layer comprises a second opening exposing the second conductive layer, and

the first conductive layer contacts the second conductive layer in the second opening.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the display panel further comprises a dam above the second conductive layer.

10. The display panel of claim 9 , wherein the component at least partially overlaps the dam.

11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the display panel further comprises an encapsulation layer covering the display area and comprising at least one organic layer and at least one inorganic layer.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one organic layer of the encapsulation layer is inside the dam, and

the at least one inorganic layer of the encapsulation layer extends outside of the dam.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the component does not overlap the at least one organic layer of the encapsulation layer and overlaps the at least one inorganic layer of the encapsulation layer.

14. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the component overlaps the at least one organic layer and the at least one inorganic layer.

15. A display device comprising:

a window;

a display panel below the window, comprising a substrate and comprising a display area and a peripheral area around the display area; and

a component below the substrate of the display panel and at least partially overlapping the display area,

wherein a black matrix is on a bottom surface of the window in correspondence with an area other than an area where the component is located in the peripheral area.

16. The display device of claim 15 , further comprising a light-inducing member at least partially overlapping the peripheral area and to guide external light penetrating the peripheral area to the component.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the light-inducing member comprises an optical fiber.

18. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the display panel comprises

the substrate;

an insulating layer above the substrate in the display area and the peripheral area, the insulating layer having a first opening in the peripheral area;

a display element above the insulating layer in the display area and comprising a pixel electrode, an intermediate layer, and an opposite electrode; and

a first conductive layer above the insulating layer in the peripheral area and covering the first opening,

wherein the opposite electrode extends to the peripheral area and contacts the first conductive layer.

19. The display device of claim 18 , wherein the component at least partially overlaps the first opening in the peripheral area.

20. The display device of claim 18 , wherein the component does not overlap the display element in the display area.
