Display device and method for manufacturing the same
A display device is provided, which prevents light leakage from occurring and allows an edge of a display panel not to be visible. The display device can include a glass substrate provided with a plurality of pixels, a polarizing film provided over the glass substrate, a side coating layer provided over a side of the glass substrate to fill a step difference between the glass substrate and the polarizing film, and a rear coating layer provided below the glass substrate.
1 . A display device comprising:
a glass substrate including a plurality of pixels;
a polarizing film provided over the glass substrate;
a side coating layer provided over a side of the glass substrate to fill a step difference between the glass substrate and the polarizing film;
a rear coating layer provided below the glass substrate; and
an etch stop layer provided between the side coating layer and the polarizing film,
wherein the rear coating layer is disposed to protrude beyond an end of the glass substrate and cover an entire rear surface of the glass substrate and an entire rear surface of the side coating layer.
2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein ends of the polarizing film and the side coating layer are aligned.
3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein an end of the polarizing film is more protruded than that of the glass substrate.
4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the polarizing film has a first length that is longer than a second length of the glass substrate, resulting in the step difference.
5 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a cover substrate provided over the polarizing film; and
an adhesive layer provided between the polarizing film and the cover substrate,
wherein the adhesive layer has the same end as that of the polarizing film.
6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one side of the glass substrate has an inclined surface, and the side coating layer is provided to at least partially cover the inclined surface of the glass substrate.
7 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a heat dissipation film below the rear coating layer.
8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the side coating layer is made of an organic material that absorbs light.
9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the side coating layer and the rear coating layer are made of the same material.
10 . A display device comprising:
a glass substrate having a first length;
a polarizing film provided over the glass substrate having a second length;
a side coating layer provided over a side of the glass substrate to fill a gap at each end of the glass substrate resulting from a difference between the first length of the glass substrate and the second length of the polarizing film; and
a rear coating layer provided below the glass substrate,
wherein the rear coating layer is disposed to protrude beyond an end of the glass substrate and cover an entire rear surface of the glass substrate and an entire rear surface of the side coating layer, and
wherein the side coating layer aligns the ends of the glass substrate and the polarizing film.
11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the side coating layer is formed of either an organic material that absorbs light or an organic material having an optical density (OD) of at least 1.0.
