This U.S. non-provisional patent Applications claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 from, and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0094683, filed on Aug. 5, 2019 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are directed to a display device.
Various display devices that are used in multi-media devices such as televisions, mobile phones, tablet computers, navigators, or game players, are being developed. A display device includes a display module disposed on a substrate. The substrate of the display device is electrically connected to a circuit board that provides driving signals.
Pads for electrical connection to the circuit board and other components are arranged in a non-display area on the substrate. When a display area is to be located on one entire surface of the display device, the non-display area on which the pads and other components are arranged should be minimized.
Nowadays, efforts to reduce the area of the non-display area of the display device are directed to bending a part of the substrate.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device in which a part of a substrate is bendable, and a manufacturing method thereof.
