Abstract

A highly reliable display device. A first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate overlap each other with a display element positioned therebetween. Side surfaces of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate which overlap each other are covered with a high molecular material having a light-transmitting property. The high molecular material is more flexible than the first substrate and the second substrate.

Claims (31)
