Display device

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel including an active area including pixels and a non-active area at a periphery of the active area, the non-active area including a first non-active area including a plurality of lines, a second non-active area including a sealing material at an outside of the first non-active area, and a third non-active area between the first and second non-active areas;

a window substrate above the display panel, the window substrate including a frame pattern layer formed thereon, wherein the frame pattern layer covers a portion including an outer edge of the non-active area, the frame pattern layer covering only a portion of the second non-active area and overlapping only a portion of the sealing material; and

a light shielding member including a light shielding sheet below the display panel and an adhesive layer between the light shielding sheet and the display panel,

wherein the adhesive layer includes an opening formed in at least one area between the frame pattern layer and the active area in an area corresponding to the non-active area, the opening overlapping:

an entirety of the third non-active area;

only a portion of the plurality of lines;

only a portion of the sealing material; and

only a portion of each of the first and second non-active areas adjacent to the third non-active area.

2. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opening has a shape surrounding the periphery of the active area and has a pattern corresponding to a boundary line at the periphery of the active area.

3. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light shielding sheet includes an opening corresponding to the opening of the adhesive layer.

4. The display device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a decorative lighting unit including a light guide film in the openings of the light shielding sheet and the adhesive layer, and a light source for supplying light to the light guide film.

5. The display device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the light source is below at least one side of the light guide film.

6. The display device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the light source includes one or more color light emitting diodes (LEDs).

7. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises upper and lower substrates, a sealing material bonding together the upper and lower substrates in an edge area between the upper and lower substrates, and touch sensing patterns on the upper substrate.

8. The display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the touch sensing patterns include touch sensing electrodes in the active area and touch sensing lines in the non-active area to be connected to the touch sensing electrodes.

9. The display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the opening overlaps an area between an area including the touch sensing lines and an area including the sealing material.

10. The display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the opening extends to overlap with at least only portions of the touch sensing lines and the sealing material and covers an area between an area including the touch sensing lines and an area including the sealing material.

11. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the display panel further comprises upper and lower substrates, and

the adhesive layer including the opening is directly adhered to the lower substrate.

12. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opening is in a visible area of the non-active region.
