Display device
A display device includes a display panel configured to display an image. A base member is disposed on the display panel and includes a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area. The base member has a first surface facing the display panel. A first groove is formed on the first surface in the non-display area. A first light blocking member is disposed on the first surface of the base member and extends along at least a portion of the first surface positioned between the display area and the first groove.
1 . A display device comprising:
a display panel configured to display an image;
a base member disposed on the display panel and including a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area, the base member having a first surface facing that is a closest surface of the base member to the display panel;
a first groove formed on the first surface in the non-display area; and
a first light blocking member disposed on the first surface of the base member and extending along at least a portion of the first surface positioned between the display area and the first groove, wherein the first light blocking member extends between the first surface and the display panel in a thickness direction of the display device.
2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the first light blocking member is disposed in the first groove; and
the first groove defines a boundary of the first light blocking member.
3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first light blocking member fills the first groove.
4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first light blocking member is disposed on the non-display area.
5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the non-display area is defined to surround the display area,
wherein the first groove is formed adjacent to an outer portion of the non-display area.
6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the display area includes at least one hole area;
at least one functional module overlaps the at least one hole area; and
the base member includes a second groove formed to surround the hole area.
7 . The display device of claim 6 , further comprising:
a second light blocking member disposed to surround the hole area and filling the second groove.
8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the non-display area of the base member is relatively flat.
9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the non-display area of the base member is curved toward the display panel.
10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display area of the base member is relatively flat.
11 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the base member further comprises a second surface opposing the first surface and a side surface connecting the first surface and the second surface,
wherein the side surface adjacent to the first surface is a chamfered surface that is inclined.
12 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the first groove is formed between the chamfered surface and the display area.
13 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the side surface adjacent to the second surface is a round surface.
14 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first groove is formed using a laser.
15 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises:
a substrate;
at least one thin film transistor disposed on the substrate; and
a light emitting diode electrically connected to the at least one thin film transistor.
16 . The display device of claim 15 , wherein the light emitting diode comprises:
a first electrode connected to the thin film transistor;
an organic emission layer disposed on the first electrode; and
a second electrode disposed on the organic emission layer.
17 . A display device comprising:
a display panel configured to display an image;
a base member disposed on the display panel and including a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area, the base member having a first surface facing that is a closest surface of the base member to the display panel and a chamfered surface adjacent to the first surface and inclined,
a first groove formed on the first surface in the non-display area; and
a first light blocking member disposed on the first surface of the base member and extending along at least a portion of the first surface between the display area and the first groove, wherein the first light blocking member extends between the first surface and the display panel in a thickness direction of the display device.
18 . The display device of claim 17 , wherein the first light blocking member fills the first groove.
19 . The display device of claim 17 , wherein:
the non-display area is defined to surround the display area,
wherein the first groove is formed adjacent to an outer portion of the non-display area.
20 . The display device of claim 17 , wherein:
the display area includes at least one hole area;
at least one functional module overlaps the at least one hole area; and
the base member includes a second groove formed to surround the hole area.
21 . A display device comprising:
a display panel configured to display an image;
a base member disposed on the display panel and including a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area, the base member having a first surface facing that is a closest surface of the base member to the display panel;
a first groove formed on the first surface in the non-display area, the first groove having a semi-elliptical shape in a cross-section; and
a first light blocking member disposed in the first groove and extending along at least a portion of the non-display area, wherein the first light blocking member extends between the first surface and the display panel in a thickness direction of the display device.
22 . The display device of claim 21 , wherein the first groove defines an outer boundary of the first light blocking member.
