Figure 2 This is an exploded perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is an exploded perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The display device DD can be a device activated by an electrical signal. The display device DD can include various embodiments. For example, the display device DD can primarily be a large display device such as a television, monitor, or outdoor billboard, and can be used in small to medium-sized display devices such as personal computers, laptops, personal digital terminals, car navigation units, game consoles, portable electronic devices, and cameras. Furthermore, these are merely illustrative examples, and can certainly be used in other display devices without departing from the concept of the invention. In this embodiment, the display device DD is exemplarily shown as a smartphone.

[0054] The display device DD can display an image IM on a display surface FS parallel to both the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2, facing the third direction DR3. The display surface FS of the image IM can correspond to the front surface of the display device DD and also to the front surface FS of the window 100. Hereinafter, the display surface, front surface, and front surface of the window 100 of the display device DD will use the same reference numerals. The image IM can include not only moving images but also still images. Figure 1 In the example of an image-based instant messaging system, a clock window and an application icon are shown.

[0055] In this embodiment, the front (or top) and back (or bottom) of each component can be defined based on the direction of the displayed image IM. The front and back face each other on a third direction DR3, and the normal directions of the front and back can be parallel to the third direction DR3. The third direction DR3 can be a direction that intersects with the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. The first direction DR1, the second direction DR2, and the third direction DR3 can be orthogonal to each other.

[0056] In this specification, the surface defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2 can be defined as a plane, and "observing on the plane" can be defined as observing from a third direction towards DR3.

[0057] The display device DD may include a window 100, a display panel 200, a driving circuit section 300, a housing 400, and a protective cover 500 (see reference). Figure 3 In this embodiment, the window 100 and the housing 400 can be combined to form the appearance of the display device DD.

[0058] Window 100 may include an optically transparent insulating material. For example, window 100 may include glass or plastic. Window 100 may have a multilayer structure or a single-layer structure. For example, window 100 may include multiple plastic sheets bonded together with an adhesive, or a glass substrate and plastic sheets bonded together with an adhesive.

[0059] On a plane, window 100 can be divided into a transmissive region TA and a border region BZA. The transmissive region TA can be an optically transparent region. The border region BZA can be a region with a relatively lower light transmittance than the transmissive region TA. The border region BZA defines the shape of the transmissive region TA. The border region BZA can be adjacent to and surround the transmissive region TA.

[0060] The border area BZA may have a predetermined color. The border area BZA may cover the peripheral area NAA of the display panel 200, thus cutting off the view of the peripheral area NAA from the outside. On the other hand, this is shown illustratively, and in the window 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the border area BZA may also be omitted.

[0061] The display panel 200 can be configured below the window 100. The display panel 200 can display an image IM. The display panel 200 can include a display unit DP-1 with an active area AA and a peripheral area NAA on the front. The active area AA can be an area that is activated by an electrical signal.

[0062] In this embodiment, the active region AA in the display unit DP-1 can correspond to the area displaying the image IM. The transmissive region TA can overlap with the active region AA. For example, the transmissive region TA can overlap with the entire surface or at least a portion of the active region AA. Thus, the user can see the image IM through the transmissive region TA.

[0063] The peripheral area NAA can be the area covered by the border area BZA. The peripheral area NAA can be adjacent to the active area AA. The peripheral area NAA can surround the active area AA. The peripheral area NAA can be configured with driving circuits or driving wiring for driving the active area AA. The area of ​​the border area BZA in the entire surface of the display device DD can be reduced. Alternatively, in a display panel 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the peripheral area NAA can be omitted.

The flexible sheet CF can provide electrical signals for driving the display panel 200 to the display panel 200. These electrical signals can be generated in the flexible sheet CF or in the main circuit board MB. The main circuit board MB may include various driving circuits for driving the display panel 200 or connectors for supplying power. In this embodiment, a driver chip IC can be disposed on the bending portion BP of the display panel 200. The driver chip IC may include driving circuits for driving the display panel 200. In another embodiment, the driver chip IC may also be disposed on the main circuit board MB or the flexible sheet CF.

[0067] In one embodiment, when the curved portion BP of the display panel 200 is not present, the flexible sheet CF can be bent to place the main circuit board MB on the back portion DP-2 of the display panel 200.

In one embodiment, the height HE2 of the multiple cover plates 520 may be greater than the height HE1 of the multiple blocks 511 and 512. Here, the height may be equivalent to the length of the third-direction DR3. For example, the height HE2 of the cover plate 520 may be greater than the thickness of the display panel 200 than the height HE1 of the blocks 511 and 512.
