[0017] Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a display device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is along Figure 1 The line II-II′ in Figure 1 sectional view of the display device 1. Figure 3 is along Figure 1 The line III-III′ in Figure 1 sectional view of the display device 1. Figure 4 It is shown Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first base substrate 111 of a light emitting substrate 101. FIG. Figure 5 It is shown Figure 1 201. FIG. 20 is a plan view of a second base substrate 211 opposite to the substrate 201. FIG.

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In the display device 1 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a display area DA and a non-display area NA may be defined (see, for example, Figure 2 ).

[0019] The display area DA may include a plurality of pixels and may provide image display. As used herein, the term "pixel" refers to the smallest unit area for generating a color point. Each pixel may express a predetermined primary color. Examples of primary colors may include, but are not limited to, red, green, and blue. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in a plan view, the display area DA may have one of the side edges (e.g., Figure 4 For example, in a plan view, one side edge of the display area DA in the second direction Y may have an atypical shape such as a bay, a groove, or a trench.

[0020] In a plan view, the display area DA may be at least partially surrounded by the non-display area NA. The non-display area NA refers to an area that does not contribute to the image display. The non-display area NA may include a sealing area SA in which the sealing member 301 is disposed, an inner non-display area INA positioned inwardly from the sealing area SA (e.g., between the display area DA and the sealing area SA), and an outer non-display area ONA positioned outwardly from the sealing area SA.

[0021] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the display device 1 includes: a light emitting substrate 101; an opposite substrate 201 disposed on the light emitting substrate 101; and a sealing member 301 disposed between the light emitting substrate 101 and the opposite substrate 201 and combined with the light emitting substrate 101 and the opposite substrate 201. The display device 1 may further include a first flexible circuit film 401, a second flexible circuit film 501, and a module member 601.

[0022] The light-emitting substrate 101 (e.g., the first substrate) may include a light-emitting element 190 that can emit light by itself to provide light required for image display. For example, the light-emitting substrate 101 may be a display substrate including a light-emitting element 190 disposed at each pixel. The light-emitting elements 190 disposed at each pixel may emit light independently of each other, thereby realizing image display and color expression.

[0023] The first base substrate 111 may provide a space for stably arranging the light emitting element 190 and the like. The upper surface of the first base substrate 111 may be placed in a plane to which the first direction X and the second direction Y belong. The first base substrate 111 may be a transparent or opaque insulating plate or insulating film. For example, the first base substrate 111 may include a glass material, a quartz material, and the like. For example, the first base substrate 111 may include a polymer material such as an imide resin, a carbonate resin, and / or an acrylic resin.

[0024] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in a plan view, the first base substrate 111 may include: a main body portion 111a (see Figure 4 ), has a first maximum width W in the first direction X 111a ; a first protruding portion 111b protruding from the main body portion 111a in the second direction Y; and a second protruding portion 111c protruding from the main body portion 111a in the second direction Y and spaced apart from the first protruding portion 111b in the first direction X. The first protruding portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 may have a second maximum width W in the first direction X. 111b , the second protruding portion 111 c of the first base substrate 111 may have a third maximum width W in the first direction X 111c The second maximum width W 111b and the third maximum width W 111c Each of the widths W may be smaller than the first maximum width W 111a For example, the second maximum width W 111b and the third maximum width W 111c The sum of can be less than the first maximum width W 111a The second maximum width W of the first base substrate 111 111b and the third maximum width W 111c In addition, the first base substrate 111 may have a maximum length in the second direction Y that is greater than its length in the first direction X (eg, a first maximum width W 111a ) long shape.

[0025] At least a portion of the display area DA of the display device 1 may overlap with the first protruding portion 111b and the second protruding portion 111c of the first base substrate 111. For example, pixels are defined in the first protruding portion 111b and the second protruding portion 111c of the first base substrate 111 in addition to being defined in the main portion 111a of the first base substrate 111, and each of these three portions may contribute to image display and color expression. Although the display area DA is not formed to overlap with the module member 601, the display area DA is formed adjacent to the module member 601 along three sides (two sides in the first direction X and one side in the second direction Y) of the module member 601, thereby minimizing the plane area of ​​the non-display area NA and increasing the plane area of ​​the display area DA.

[0026] In a plan view, one side edge of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y (eg, Figure 4 The lower edge of the first base substrate 111 may have an atypical shape such as a concave bay, a groove or a groove. For example, one side edge 121 of the first base substrate 111 may be partially recessed. For example, one side edge 121 of the first base substrate 111 may include a first edge 121b, a second edge 121a recessed from the first edge 121b, and a third edge 121c protruding from the second edge 121a.

[0027] The first edge 121b refers to a side edge of the first protruding portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y, the second edge 121a refers to a side edge of the main portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y, and the third edge 121c refers to a side edge of the second protruding portion 111c of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y. The first protruding portion 111b, the second protruding portion 111c, and the second edge 121a of the first base substrate 111 may form a concave bay together.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the shortest distance D from the first edge 121b to the display area DA along the second direction Y is 1 may be greater than the shortest distance D from the second edge 121a along the second direction Y to the display area DA. 2 In addition, the shortest distance from the third edge 121c along the second direction Y to the display area DA may be greater than the shortest distance D from the second edge 121a along the second direction Y to the display area DA. 2 .

[0029] As will be described later, the shortest distance D from the first edge 121b to the display area DA is 1 greater than the shortest distance D from the second edge 121a to the display area DA 2, thereby sufficiently ensuring the width of a portion (e.g., a first linear portion 311 to be described later) of the sealing member 301 disposed on the first protruding portion 111b and extending in the first direction X. In addition, the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 is not disposed between the second edge 121a and the sealing member 301, thereby ensuring a space for disposing the module member 601 between the first protruding portion 111b and the second protruding portion 111c of the first base substrate 111.

[0030] A driving layer including a thin film transistor 130, a wiring 150, and a light emitting substrate pad unit 170 may be disposed on the first base substrate 111. For convenience of explanation, although Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows one thin film transistor 130 , but in some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the driving layer may further include a plurality of thin film transistors and / or auxiliary electrodes for forming a capacitor or a bridge.

[0031] The thin film transistor 130 may be electrically connected to the light emitting element 190. For example, the thin film transistor 130 may be a driving transistor configured to control the amount of current provided to the light emitting element 190 in a specific pixel. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the thin film transistor 130 may be a switching transistor configured to control a specific pixel to be turned on or off, a compensation transistor used to compensate for a driving signal, an initialization transistor in which an initialization signal is applied to a gate electrode, or a light emitting control transistor in which a light emitting control signal is applied to a gate electrode.

[0032] The thin film transistor 130 may include an active layer 131 for forming a channel, a gate electrode 135 as a control terminal, a source electrode 137 as an input terminal, and a drain electrode 139 as an output terminal.

[0033] The active layer 131 may be disposed on the first base substrate 111. Figure 2 , etc. show a case where the active layer 131 is directly disposed on the first base substrate 111, but alternatively, at least one inorganic layer may be disposed between the first base substrate 111 and the active layer 131. The active layer 131 may include a semiconductor material. For example, the active layer 131 may include polycrystalline silicon, or may include an oxide semiconductor.

[0034] The gate electrode 135 may be disposed on the active layer 131. The gate electrode 135 may at least partially overlap the channel region of the active layer 131 in the third direction Z. The gate electrode 135 may include aluminum, molybdenum, copper, titanium and / or alloys thereof. The gate electrode 135 may be formed of a single layer, or may have a stacked structure including a plurality of layers. The gate electrode 135 may constitute a control terminal configured to carry a control signal of the thin film transistor 130. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the thin film transistor 130 is a driving transistor, and the gate electrode 135 may be electrically connected to an output terminal of a switching transistor for controlling the conduction or cutoff of a specific pixel. The first insulating layer 140 is disposed between the active layer 131 and the gate electrode 135 to insulate them from each other. The first insulating layer 140 may be a gate insulating layer. The first insulating layer 140 may include an inorganic insulating material. The inorganic insulating material may include silicon nitride, silicon oxide and / or silicon oxynitride.

[0035] The source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139 may be disposed on the gate electrode 135. The source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139 are electrically connected to the source region and the drain region of the active layer 131, respectively, and may be spaced apart from each other. Each of the source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139 may include aluminum, molybdenum, copper, titanium and / or an alloy thereof. Each of the source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139 may be formed of a single layer, or may have a stacked structure including a plurality of layers. The source electrode 137 may constitute an input terminal to which an input signal of the thin film transistor 130 is applied, and the drain electrode 139 may constitute an output terminal to which an output signal of the thin film transistor 130 is applied. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the thin film transistor 130 is a driving transistor, the source electrode 137 may be electrically connected to a driving voltage wiring configured to carry a driving voltage, and the drain electrode 139 may be electrically connected to the anode 191 of the light emitting element 190.

[0036] An interlayer insulating layer 160 including a second insulating layer 161 and a third insulating layer 163 may be disposed between the gate electrode 135 and the source electrode 137 and between the gate electrode 135 and the drain electrode 139. The interlayer insulating layer 160 may isolate the gate electrode 135, the source electrode 137, the drain electrode 139, and the auxiliary electrode from each other. Each of the second insulating layer 161 and the third insulating layer 163 may include an inorganic insulating material. The inorganic insulating material may include silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and / or silicon oxynitride.

[0037] The protective layer 181 may be disposed on the source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139. The protective layer 181 may cover the source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139 to prevent the source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139 from contacting the organic material.

[0038] The wiring 150 may be at least partially located in the non-display area NA (e.g., the outer non-display area ONA). The wiring 150 may extend from the non-display area NA to the display area DA to transmit a signal provided from an external driving element to the thin film transistor 130, etc. For example, the wiring 150 may be electrically connected to the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 to transmit a signal provided from the first flexible circuit film 401 to the thin film transistor 130, etc. The wiring 150 may include a scan wiring configured to carry a scan signal, a data wiring configured to carry a data signal, and a driving voltage wiring configured to carry a driving voltage. Figure 2 etc. show the case where the wiring 150 is provided on the same layer as the source electrode 137 and the drain electrode 139 , but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0039] The light-emitting substrate pad unit 170 (e.g., the first pad unit) may be disposed in the non-display area NA. For example, the light-emitting substrate pad unit 170 may be disposed within the entire external non-display area ONA. In this case, the wiring 150 electrically connected to the light-emitting substrate pad unit 170 may be arranged to cross the sealing area SA. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the light-emitting substrate pad unit 170 may include a pad electrode. The pad electrode has an extended area and may be electrically connected to the wiring 150 through a contact hole formed in the protective layer 181. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and optionally, the end of the wiring 150 may be extended to form the light-emitting substrate pad unit 170 for electrical connection.

[0040] In addition, the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 may be disposed adjacent to one side edge 121 of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 is disposed adjacent to the first edge 121b and the third edge 121c of the first base substrate 111, but may not be disposed adjacent to the second edge 121a. For example, in a plan view, the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 is disposed between the first edge 121b and the sealing member 301 and between the third edge 121c and the sealing member 301, but may not be disposed between the second edge 121a and the sealing member 301. The light emitting substrate pad unit 170 may be disposed between one side edge 121 of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y and a first linear portion 311 of the sealing member 301 to be described later. The light emitting substrate pad unit 170 is disposed on the first protruding portion 111b and the second protruding portion 111c of the first base substrate 111, but not on the main portion 111a, so that the shortest distance D from the second edge 121a to the display area DA is 1 / 40mm. 2 The area of ​​the non-display region NA is minimized and reduced. In addition, a space for disposing the module member 601 is provided accordingly.

[0041] The step compensation layer 183 may be disposed on the wiring layer. The step compensation layer 183 has a step compensation function for at least partially compensating for a step formed by a driving layer including the thin film transistor 130, etc., and may provide a space for stably disposing the light emitting element 190. The material of the step compensation layer 183 is not particularly limited as long as it has high light transmittance and has a step compensation characteristic and an insulating characteristic, and examples of the material of the step compensation layer 183 may include organic materials such as acrylic resin, epoxy resin, imide resin, cardo-based resin, and ester resin.

[0042] The light emitting element 190 may be disposed on the step compensation layer 183. The light emitting element 190 may include an anode 191 (e.g., a lower electrode), a cathode 193 (e.g., an upper electrode), and a light emitting layer 195 disposed between the anode 191 and the cathode 193. For example, the light emitting layer 195 may be an organic layer including an organic light emitting material, and the light emitting element 190 may be an organic light emitting element. Depending on the material or stacked structure of the light emitting layer 195, the light emitting element 190 may emit only blue light, only green light, only red light, or white light in which blue light, green light, and red light are mixed.

[0043] The anode 191 may be a pixel electrode provided for each pixel, and is provided with a driving signal independently of each other. The anode 191 may be electrically connected to the drain electrode 139 of the thin film transistor 130 through a contact hole formed in the step compensation layer 183 and the protective layer 181. The anode 191 may be a transparent electrode, an opaque electrode, or a stacked structure including both a transparent electrode and an opaque electrode.

[0044] The cathode 193 may be a common electrode disposed to overlap the anode 191 in the third direction Z, and the cathode 193 may be disposed continuously over a plurality of pixels without interruption. For example, a plurality of light emitting elements 190 disposed in pixels different from each other may share the cathode 193 with each other. Similar to the anode 191, the cathode 193 may be a transparent electrode, an opaque electrode, or a stacked structure including both a transparent electrode and an opaque electrode.

[0045] The light emitting layer 195 may be disposed between the anode 191 and the cathode 193. In the light emitting layer 195, holes and electrons that migrate from the anode 191 and the cathode 193, respectively, may be recombined to generate light. For example, holes and electrons are recombined in the light emitting layer 195 to generate excitons, and light is emitted when the excitons relax from an excited state to a ground state. The light emitting layer 195 may include a phosphorescent or fluorescent material that emits only blue light, a phosphorescent or fluorescent material that emits only green light, and / or a phosphorescent or fluorescent material that emits only red light.

[0046] A hole control auxiliary layer (such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer or a hole blocking layer), an electron control auxiliary layer (such as an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer or an electron blocking layer) and / or a charge generation auxiliary layer may also be provided between the light-emitting layer 195 and the anode 191 and / or between the light-emitting layer 195 and the cathode 193, so that the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting element 190 can be improved.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a pixel defining film 185 may also be disposed on the anode 191. The aforementioned light emitting layer 195 and cathode 193 may be disposed on the pixel defining film 185. In a plan view, the pixel defining film 185 may have an opening that partially exposes the anode 191. The pixel defining film 185 may isolate the anode 191 and the cathode 193 from each other and may divide a plurality of pixels. The pixel defining film 185 may include an organic material such as an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, an imide resin, and / or an ester resin.

[0048] Next, the opposite substrate 201 will be described. The opposite substrate 201 (e.g., a second substrate) may face the light emitting substrate 101. For example, the opposite substrate 201 may be an encapsulation substrate that is disposed on the light emitting substrate 101 and encapsulates the light emitting element 190 together with a sealing member 301 to be described later. The opposite substrate 201 may include a second base substrate 211, and may further include a touch element layer 231 to be described later.

For example, the second base substrate 211 may include a glass material, a quartz material, etc. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the second base substrate 211 and the light emitting element 190 may be spaced apart from each other, and an inert gas such as nitrogen may be placed between the second base substrate 211 and the light emitting element 190. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the space between the second base substrate 211 and the light emitting element 190 may be filled with a filler, etc.

The first protruding portion 211b of the second base substrate 211 may have a fifth maximum width W in the first direction X. 211b The second protruding portion 211c of the second base substrate 211 may have a sixth maximum width W in the first direction X. 211c The fifth maximum width W 211b and the sixth maximum width W 211c Each of the widths W may be smaller than the fourth maximum width W 211a For example, the fifth maximum width W 211b and the sixth maximum width W 211c The sum of can be less than the fourth maximum width W 211a The fifth maximum width W of the second base substrate 211 is 211b and the sixth maximum width W 211c In addition, the second base substrate 211 may have a maximum length in the second direction Y that is greater than its length in the first direction X (eg, the fourth maximum width W 211a ) long shape.

[0051] The second base substrate 211 may have a smaller plane area than that of the first base substrate 111 .

[0052] For example, the main body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 and the main body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211 may overlap each other in the third direction Z. In addition, the main body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 may have a shape substantially the same as that of the main body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211, and may have an area substantially the same as that of the main body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211. For example, the first maximum width W of the main body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 in the first direction X is 111a The fourth maximum width W of the main portion 211a of the second base substrate 211 in the first direction X may be 211a Substantially the same, a length of the main body portion 111 a of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y may be substantially the same as a length of the main body portion 211 a of the second base substrate 211 in the second direction Y.

[0053] The first protrusion portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 and the second protrusion portion 111c of the first base substrate 111 may overlap the first protrusion portion 211b of the second base substrate 211 and the second protrusion portion 211c of the second base substrate 211, respectively, in the third direction Z. The plane area of ​​the first protrusion portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 may be greater than the plane area of ​​the first protrusion portion 211b of the second base substrate 211, and the plane area of ​​the second protrusion portion 111c of the first base substrate 111 may be greater than the plane area of ​​the second protrusion portion 211c of the second base substrate 211.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the second maximum width W of the first protruding portion 111 b of the first base substrate 111 in the first direction X is 111b The fifth maximum width W of the first protruding portion 211 b of the second base substrate 211 in the first direction X may be 211b The length L of the first protruding portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y is substantially the same as 111b The length L of the first protruding portion 211 b of the second base substrate 211 in the second direction Y may be greater than 211b .

[0055] Similarly, the third maximum width W of the second protruding portion 111 c of the first base substrate 111 in the first direction X is 111c The sixth maximum width W of the second protruding portion 211 c of the second base substrate 211 in the first direction X may be 211c The length L of the second protruding portion 111c of the first base substrate 111 in the second direction Y is substantially the same as 111c The length L of the second protruding portion 211 c of the second base substrate 211 in the second direction Y may be greater than 211c .

[0056] Portions of the first protrusion portion 111 b and the second protrusion portion 111 c of the first base substrate 111 that are not covered by the first protrusion portion 211 b and the second protrusion portion 211 c of the second base substrate 211 may be provided with a light emitting substrate pad unit 170 .

[0057] At least a portion of the display area DA of the display device 1 may overlap the first protruding portion 211b and the second protruding portion 211c of the second base substrate 211. For example, pixels are defined in the first protruding portion 211b and the second protruding portion 211c of the second base substrate 211 in addition to being defined in the main body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211, and the pixels may contribute to image display and color expression. The display area DA is formed around three sides (two sides in the first direction X and one side in the second direction Y) of the module member 601, except for the area where the module member 601 to be described later is provided, thereby minimizing the plane area of ​​the non-display area NA and increasing the plane area of ​​the display area DA.

[0058] In a plan view, one side edge (eg, Figure 5 The lower edge of the second base substrate 211 may have an atypical shape such as a concave bay, a groove or a groove. For example, one side edge 221 of the second base substrate 211 may be partially recessed. For example, one side edge 221 of the second base substrate 211 may include a fourth edge 221b, a fifth edge 221a recessed from the fourth edge 221b, and a sixth edge 221c protruding from the fifth edge 221a.

[0059] The fourth edge 221b refers to a side edge of the first protruding portion 211b of the second base substrate 211 in the second direction Y, the fifth edge 221a refers to a side edge of the main portion 211a of the second base substrate 211 in the second direction Y, and the sixth edge 221c refers to a side edge of the second protruding portion 211c of the second base substrate 211 in the second direction Y. The first protruding portion 211b, the second protruding portion 211c, and the fifth edge 221a of the second base substrate 211 may form a concave bay together.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the shortest distance D from the fourth edge 221b along the second direction Y to the display area DA is 4 may be greater than the shortest distance D from the fifth edge 221a along the second direction Y to the display area DA. 5 In addition, the shortest distance from the sixth edge 221c along the second direction Y to the display area DA may be greater than the shortest distance D from the fifth edge 221a along the second direction Y to the display area DA. 5 In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the shortest distance D from the first edge 121b to the display area DA is 1 may be greater than the shortest distance D from the fourth edge 221b to the display area DA. 4 , the shortest distance D from the second edge 121a to the display area DA 2 The shortest distance D from the fifth edge 221a to the display area DA may be5 Basically equal.

[0061] As will be described later, the shortest distance D from the fourth edge 221b to the display area DA is 4 greater than the shortest distance D from the fifth edge 221a to the display area DA 5 , thereby sufficiently ensuring the width of a portion of the sealing member 301 that is provided on the first protruding portion 211 b and extends in the first direction X (eg, a first linear portion 311 to be described later).

[0062] In addition, the first edge 121b of the first base substrate 111 protrudes from the fourth edge 221b of the second base substrate 211 to support the light-emitting substrate pad unit 170, and the second edge 121a of the first base substrate 111 is aligned with the fifth edge 221a of the second base substrate 211, thereby minimizing the area occupied by the light-emitting substrate pad unit 170 and further reducing the area of ​​the non-display area NA.

[0063] In the following, reference will be made to Figures 6 to 9 The touch element layer 231 including the touch electrode layer 240 , the touch wiring 251 , and the touch pad unit 271 of the display device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail.

[0064] Figure 6 It is shown Figure 1 FIG. 2 is a plan view of a touch element layer 231 relative to a substrate 201 . Figure 7 It is shown Figure 6 Magnified view of area A in FIG. Figure 8 It is shown Figure 7 FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of the first touch electrode 241 and the second touch electrode 242 . Fig. 9 is shown along Figure 8 The cross section taken along the line IXa-1Xa′ is Figure 8 Comparative cross-sectional view of the section taken along line IXb-IXb′.

[0065] Reference Figures 6 to 9 A touch element layer 231 including a touch electrode layer 240 , a touch wiring 251 , and a touch pad unit 271 may be disposed on an upper surface of the second base substrate 211 .

[0066] The touch electrode layer 240 may include a first touch electrode 241 extending in a first direction X and a second touch electrode 242 extending in a second direction Y. The first touch electrode 241 and the second touch electrode 242 may cross each other. The fourth insulating layer 280 may be disposed between the first touch electrode 241 and the second touch electrode 242 to insulate the first touch electrode 241 and the second touch electrode 242 from each other. The fourth insulating layer 280 may include an inorganic insulating material. Examples of inorganic insulating materials include silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and / or silicon oxynitride.

[0067] The plurality of first touch electrodes 241 may extend in the first direction X and may be spaced apart from each other in the second direction Y. The first touch electrodes 241 may be transparent electrodes. The first touch electrodes 241 may include: a plurality of first extensions 241a having a substantially rhombus shape in a plan view; and first connecting portions 241b connecting adjacent first extensions 241a. The first touch electrodes 241 may be sensing electrodes configured to carry sensing signals.

[0068] The plurality of second touch electrodes 242 may extend in the second direction Y and may be spaced apart from each other in the first direction X. The second touch electrodes 242 may be transparent electrodes. The second touch electrodes 242 may include: a plurality of second extensions 242a having a substantially rhombus shape in a plan view; and second connecting portions 242b connecting adjacent second extensions 242a. The second touch electrodes 242 may be drive electrodes configured to carry a drive signal.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each of the first extension portion 241a and the second extension portion 242a has a rhombus shape, and the first extension portion 241a and the second extension portion 242a may be spaced apart from each other in a direction facing each other (e.g., a diagonal direction intersecting the first direction X and the second direction Y in a plane). The first connection portion 241b and the second connection portion 242b may intersect each other to be insulated from each other. For example, the second connection portion 242b extending in the second direction Y may be disposed on the first connection portion 241b extending in the first direction X, and the fourth insulating layer 280 may be disposed between the first connection portion 241b and the second connection portion 242b.

[0070] Mutual capacitance may be formed between the first touch electrode 241 extending in the first direction X and the second touch electrode 242 extending in the second direction Y. When the capacitance between the first touch electrode 241 and the second touch electrode 242 is changed by a touch operation of the user, the display device 1 may acquire coordinate information about the touch operation of the user based on the changed capacitance. For example, the touch element layer 231 relative to the substrate 201 may acquire coordinate information about the touch operation of the user.

[0071] The touch wiring 251 may extend from the non-display area NA (e.g., the internal non-display area INA), and may transmit a signal provided from an external driving element to the touch electrode layer 240. For example, the touch wiring 251 may be electrically connected to the touch pad unit 271 to transmit a signal provided from the second flexible circuit film 501 to the touch electrode layer 240. The touch wiring 251 may include a first touch wiring 251a connected to the first touch electrode 241 and a second touch wiring 251b connected to the second touch electrode 242.

[0072] The first touch wiring 251a may include a first touch wiring portion 251a1 extending in the first direction X and a second touch wiring portion 251a2 extending in the second direction Y. The second touch wiring 251b may include a first touch wiring portion 251b1 extending in the first direction X and a second touch wiring portion 251b2 extending in the second direction Y. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each of the first touch wiring 251a and the second touch wiring 251b may be at least partially located in the non-display area NA. For example, in a plan view, the first touch wiring portion 251b1 of the second touch wiring 251b may be completely located inside the sealing member 301.

[0073] The touch pad unit 271 (e.g., the second pad unit) may be located in the non-display area NA. For example, the touch pad unit 271 may be at least partially located in the outer non-display area ONA. For example, the touch pad unit 271 may at least partially overlap with the outer non-display area ONA and not be located in the inner non-display area INA, and may at least partially overlap with the sealing area SA. In this case, the touch wiring 251 may at least partially cross the sealing area SA. The plane area occupied by the inner non-display area INA may be minimized by arranging the touch pad unit 271 not to be located in the inner non-display area INA.

[0074] The touch pad unit 271 may include a first pad electrode 271a connected to the first touch wiring 251a and a second pad electrode 271b connected to the second touch wiring 251b. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an end portion of the first touch wiring 251a and an end portion of the second touch wiring 251b may extend to form a touch pad unit 271 for electrical connection.

[0075] The present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the light emitting substrate 101 including the light emitting element 190 and the opposite substrate 201 including the touch element layer 231 are separately manufactured and then bonded to each other using the sealing member 301, the first touch wiring portions 251a1 and 251b1 extending in the first direction X adjacent to the sealing member 301 extending in the first direction X and the second touch wiring portions 251a2 and 251b2 extending in the second direction Y adjacent to the sealing member 301 extending in the second direction Y are arranged inwardly from the sealing member 301 to ensure the transmittance of the laser traveling from the opposite substrate 201 to the sealing member 301, and the sealing member 301 is cured with the laser.

[0076] The touch pad unit 271 may be disposed adjacent to one side edge of the second base substrate 211 in the second direction Y. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the touch pad unit 271 including the first pad electrode 271a and the second pad electrode 271b is disposed adjacent to the fourth edge 221b of the second base substrate 211, but may not be disposed adjacent to the fifth edge 221a and the sixth edge 221c. The touch pad unit 271 including the first pad electrode 271a and the second pad electrode 271b is disposed on the first protruding portion 211b of the second base substrate 211, but may not be disposed on the main body portion 211a and the second protruding portion 211c, thereby simplifying the connection structure of the second flexible circuit film 501 and minimizing the area of ​​the non-display region NA. In addition, there is an effect of ensuring a space for disposing a module member 601 to be described later.

[0077] In the following, reference will be made to Fig.10 The sealing member 301 of the display device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0078] Fig.10 It is shown Figure 1 Layout diagram of the light emitting substrate 101, the opposing substrate 201 and the sealing member 301.

[0079] Reference Fig.10 , the sealing member 301 may be disposed between the light emitting substrate 101 and the opposite substrate 201 to bond them to each other. For example, the sealing member 301 may contact the protective layer 181 of the light emitting substrate 101 and the rear surface of the second base substrate 211 of the opposite substrate 201. The sealing member 301 may be a solidified glass frit. As used herein, the term "glass frit" refers to a structure having glass properties formed by melting and solidifying powdered glass optionally containing additives.

[0080] In a plan view, the sealing member 301 may form a closed curve and may surround the light emitting element 190 of the light emitting substrate 101. For example, the sealing member 301 is configured to seal the light emitting element 190, thereby preventing the light emitting element 190 from being damaged by air, moisture, etc. The sealing member 301 may be disposed in the non-display area NA to define a sealing area SA. The planar shape of the sealing member 301 may have a shape substantially corresponding to the planar shape of the first base substrate 111 or the planar shape of the second base substrate 211.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the sealing member 301 may include a first linear portion 311 extending in the first direction X and a second linear portion 321 extending in the second direction Y.

[0082] The first linear portion 311 may have a substantially linear shape. For example, each of the outer edge and the inner edge of the first linear portion 311 of the sealing member 301 may have a substantially linear shape extending in the first direction X. The first linear portion 311 may overlap the first protruding portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 and the first protruding portion 211b of the second base substrate 211. The first linear portion 311 may be a portion of the sealing member 301 that is closest to the first edge 121b of the first base substrate 111 and the fourth edge 221b of the second base substrate 211.

[0083] The second linear portion 321 may have a substantially linear shape. For example, each of the outer edge and the inner edge of the second linear portion 321 of the sealing member 301 may have a substantially linear shape extending in the second direction Y. The second linear portion 321 may overlap the main body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 and the main body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211. In addition, the second linear portion 321 may at least partially overlap the first protruding portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 and the first protruding portion 211b of the second base substrate 211.

[0084] The maximum width W of the first linear portion 311 311 The maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 may be 321 In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the maximum width W of the first linear portion 311 is 311 may be greater than the maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 321 For example, the maximum width W of a portion of the sealing member 301 overlapping the first protruding portion 111 b of the first base substrate 111 and the first protruding portion 211 b of the second base substrate 211 (eg, the first linear portion 311 ) is 311The width W of the sealing member 301 may be greater than the maximum width W of a portion (eg, the second linear portion 321 ) overlapping the main portion 111 a of the first base substrate 111 and the main portion 211 a of the second base substrate 211 . 321 .

[0085] The maximum width W of the first linear portion 311 311 The maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 321 The difference between the maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 may be 321 For example, the maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 is about 10% or more. 321 Can be around 400 m to about 450 m, the maximum width W of the first linear portion 311 311 Available in approximately 450 m to about 550 As used herein, unless otherwise defined, the term "width" refers to the width in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction or protrusion direction. Fig.10 As shown, the width here may be considered as the line thickness of the first linear portion 311 , the second linear portion 321 , and the third linear portion 331 which will be described later.

[0086] The first linear portion 311 may be positioned adjacent to the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 and the touch pad unit 271. In a plan view, the first linear portion 311 may be located between the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 and the touch pad unit 271. The present invention is not limited thereto, but for example, when the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 and the first flexible circuit film 401 are connected by a press process and / or the touch pad unit 271 and the second flexible circuit film 501 are connected by a press process, stress caused by the press process may be concentrated on the first protruding portion 111b of the first base substrate 111, the first protruding portion 211b of the second base substrate 211, and the first linear portion 311 of the sealing member 301. In addition, the light emitting substrate pad unit 170 is not formed on the main body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111, so that the pressure per unit area applied to the first protruding portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 in the press process may be increased. In the display device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the maximum width W of the first linear portion 311, which is relatively susceptible to stress, is greater than the maximum width W of the first linear portion 311, which is relatively susceptible to stress. 311 The width is wide enough so that the durability of the display device 1 can be improved. The touch pad unit 271 and the touch wiring 251 of the aforementioned touch element layer 231 may at least partially overlap the first linear portion 311 .

[0087] In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the sealing member 301 may further include: a first curved portion 361 extending from the first linear portion 311 and partially curved; and a third linear portion 331 extending from the first curved portion 361 and extending in the first direction X.

[0088] In a plan view, the first curved portion 361 may include one or more curved portions. The first curved portion 361 may have a partially curved shape including a maximum curvature radius R 6 For example, the first curved portion 361 may be a combination of curves having different radii of curvature.

[0089] The first curved portion 361 may include a portion that is concavely curved toward the display area DA (e.g., a portion that is in direct contact with the first linear portion 311) and a portion that is convexly curved toward the display area DA (e.g., a portion that is in direct contact with the third linear portion 331). As used herein, the term "curved portion" includes not only a case where the outer edge and the inner edge of the sealing member are completely formed in a curve, but also a case where the outer edge and the inner edge of the sealing member have a partial linear segment and a curved segment. For example, the present invention is not limited thereto, but a partially straight portion may exist between the concavely curved portion and the convexly curved portion of the first curved portion 361.

[0090] The first bent portion 361 may overlap the first protrusion portion 111b of the first base substrate 111 and the first protrusion portion 211b of the second base substrate 211. Also, the first bent portion 361 may at least partially overlap the body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 and the body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211.

[0091] The third linear portion 331 may have a substantially linear shape. For example, each of the outer edge and the inner edge of the third linear portion 331 of the sealing member 301 may have a substantially linear shape extending in the first direction X. The third linear portion 331 may overlap the main body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 and the main body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211. The third linear portion 331 may be a portion of the sealing member 301 that is closest to the second edge 121a of the first base substrate 111 and the fifth edge 221a of the second base substrate 211.

[0092] The maximum width W of the third linear portion 331 331 The maximum width W of the first linear portion 311 may be 311 In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the maximum width W of the first linear portion 311 is 311 may be greater than the maximum width W of the third linear portion 331 331As described above, the maximum width W of the first linear portion 311, which is relatively susceptible to stress, is 311 The maximum width of the second edge 121a is formed to be wider than the maximum width of other portions, so that the durability of the display device 1 can be improved and the shortest distance D from the second edge 121a to the display area DA can be made smaller. 2 and the shortest distance D from the fifth edge 221a to the display area DA 5 The maximum width W of the third linear portion 331 is minimized. 331 The maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 may be 321 Same or different.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the maximum width W of the third linear portion 331 is 331 smaller than the maximum width W of the first linear portion 311 311 , the width of the first curved portion 361 may decrease from the first linear portion 311 toward the third linear portion 331. For example, the width of the first curved portion 361 may gradually decrease.

[0094] In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the sealing member 301 may further include: a second curved portion 371 extending from the third linear portion 331 and partially curved; and a fourth linear portion 341 extending from the second curved portion 371 and extending in the first direction X.

[0095] For example, the second bent portion 371 may include a portion that is concavely bent toward the display area DA (e.g., a portion that contacts the fourth linear portion 341) and a portion that is convexly bent toward the display area DA (e.g., a portion that contacts the third linear portion 331). The second bent portion 371 may overlap the second protruding portion 111c of the first base substrate 111 and the second protruding portion 211c of the second base substrate 211. In addition, the second bent portion 371 may at least partially overlap the body portion 111a of the first base substrate 111 and the body portion 211a of the second base substrate 211.

[0096] The fourth linear portion 341 may have a substantially linear shape. For example, each of the outer edge and the inner edge of the fourth linear portion 341 of the sealing member 301 may have a substantially linear shape extending in the first direction X. The fourth linear portion 341 may overlap the second protruding portion 111 c of the first base substrate 111 and the second protruding portion 211 c of the second base substrate 211.

[0097] The maximum width W of the fourth linear portion 341 is 341 The maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 may be 321 In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the maximum width W of the fourth linear portion 341 is341 may be greater than the maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 321 For example, the maximum width W of the second linear portion 321 is 321 Can be around 400 m to about 450 m, the maximum width W of the fourth linear portion 341 341 Available in approximately 450 m to about 550 m.

[0098] In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the sealing member 301 may further include a third curved portion 381 disposed between the first linear portion 311 and the second linear portion 321 to connect and partially bend the first linear portion 311 and the second linear portion 321 .

[0099] In a plan view, the third curved portion 381 may include one or more curved portions. The third curved portion 381 may have a partially curved shape including a maximum curvature radius R 8 For example, the third curved portion 381 may be a combination of curves having different radii of curvature.

[0100] The third bent portion 381 may include a portion concavely bent toward the display area DA, but may not include a portion convexly bent toward the display area DA.
