Abstract

A display device includes an insulating substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface opposing the upper surface, a display element including a first electrode, an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode, and a second electrode on the organic light emitting layer, a first film connected to a first side of the upper surface, and a first circuit substrate connected to the first film and including a first surface facing the display element, a second surface opposing the first surface, and an electric element protruding from the second surface.

Claims (41)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode disposed on the substrate;

a light emitting layer on the first electrode

a second electrode on the light emitting layer;

a first film connected to the substrate;

a first circuit substrate connected to the first film and comprising a first surface facing the light emitting layer, a second surface opposing the first surface, and an electric element disposed on the second surface; and

an encapsulation member disposed between the light emitting layer and the first circuit substrate.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode comprises an opaque material.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first electrode comprises a transparent material.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the encapsulation member is disposed within an outer boundary of the substrate.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein first circuit substrate is disposed on the second electrode.

6. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising:

a second film connected to the substrate;

a second circuit substrate connected to the second film and at least partially overlapping the first circuit substrate; and

an insulating member arranged on at least one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode comprises a transparent material.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the encapsulation member is disposed within an outer boundary of the substrate.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein first circuit substrate is disposed on the second electrode.

10. The display device of claim 9 , further comprising:

a second film connected to the substrate;

a second circuit substrate connected to the second film and at least partially overlapping the first circuit substrate; and

an insulating member arranged on at least one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation member is disposed within an outer boundary of the substrate.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein first circuit substrate is disposed on the second electrode.

13. The display device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a second film connected to the substrate;

a second circuit substrate connected to the second film and at least partially overlapping the first circuit substrate; and

an insulating member arranged on at least one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein first circuit substrate is disposed on the second electrode.

15. The display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

a second film connected to the substrate;

a second circuit substrate connected to the second film and at least partially overlapping the first circuit substrate; and

an insulating member arranged on at least one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate.

16. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second film connected to the substrate;

a second circuit substrate connected to the second film and at least partially overlapping the first circuit substrate; and

an insulating member arranged on at least one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the first film is connected to a first edge of the substrate only.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the second film is connected to a second edge of the substrate only, and

wherein the second edge is perpendicular to the first edge.
