Abstract

The display defects of a display device are reduced. The display quality of the display device is improved. The display device includes a display panel and a first conductive layer. The display panel includes a display element including a pair of electrodes. An electrode of the pair of electrodes which is closer to one surface of the display panel is supplied with a constant potential. A constant potential is supplied to the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer provided on the other surface of the display panel is in contact with the first conductive layer, whereby the second conductive layer is also supplied with the constant potential. The second conductive layer includes a portion not fixed to the first conductive layer.

Claims (14)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel; and

a first conductive layer,

wherein the display panel comprises a second conductive layer, a first flexible substrate over the second conductive layer, a transistor over the first flexible substrate, a light-emitting element over the first flexible substrate, and a second flexible substrate over the light-emitting element,

wherein light emitted by the light-emitting element is extracted from the first flexible substrate side, so that an image is displayed,

wherein the first conductive layer comprises a portion which overlaps with the light-emitting element with the second conductive layer provided therebetween,

wherein the second conductive layer comprises a portion which overlaps with the transistor with the first flexible substrate provided therebetween,

wherein the second flexible substrate comprises a glass layer, a bonding layer, and a resin layer, which are stacked in this order from a side of the light-emitting element,

wherein a thickness of the glass layer is greater than or equal to 25 μm and less than or equal to 100 μm,

wherein a thickness of the resin layer is greater than or equal to 10 μm and less than or equal to 200 μm,

wherein a state of a display surface of the display panel is changeable between a flat state and a bent state,

wherein when the display surface is bent, a shape of the first conductive layer is not changed, and

wherein when the display surface is bent, the second conductive layer comprises a portion that is convexly curved along the bent display surface of the display panel and is not in contact with the first conductive layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first conductive layer is supplied with a constant potential.
