[0045] In the following description, embodiments will be illustrated in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals throughout refer to the same elements. However, this disclosure may be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments shown herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided as examples so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey to those skilled in the art the aspects and features of this disclosure. Therefore, processes (techniques), elements, and techniques that are not essential for a person of ordinary skill in the art to fully understand the aspects and features of this disclosure are not described. Unless otherwise stated, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements throughout the drawings and written description, and therefore redundant descriptions of them are not repeated.

[0046] When an embodiment can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence may differ from the described sequence. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, or they may be performed in the reverse order of the described sequence.

[0047] Furthermore, unless otherwise stated or implied, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, in view of the whole of this disclosure, each suitable feature of the various embodiments of this disclosure may be combined in part or in whole or in combination with each other, and may be technically interlocked and operated in a variety of suitable ways, and each embodiment may be implemented independently or in combination with each other in any suitable manner.

[0048] In the accompanying drawings, for clarity, the relative dimensions, thicknesses, and ratios of elements, layers, and regions may be exaggerated and / or simplified. For ease of interpretation, spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “below,” “above,” “above,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature as shown in the drawings to another (or other) element or feature. It will be understood that, in addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” or “below” other elements or features will subsequently be oriented “above” said other elements or features. Thus, the example terms “below” and “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may also be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and therefore the spatial relative descriptions should be interpreted accordingly.

[0049] Furthermore, it should be anticipated that the shapes shown in the accompanying drawings may vary in practice depending on, for example, tolerances and / or manufacturing techniques. Therefore, the embodiments of this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings, and should be interpreted to account for shape variations that may occur, for example, due to manufacturing processes. Thus, the shapes shown in the drawings may not depict the actual shape of an area of ​​the device, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0050] In the accompanying drawings, the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3 are not limited to directions corresponding to the three axes of the Cartesian coordinate system, and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3 can be perpendicular to each other or substantially perpendicular to each other, or can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other.

[0051] It will be understood that although the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and / or portions, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or portion from another element, component, region, layer, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, the first element, component, region, layer, or portion described below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or portion.

[0052] It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on," "connected to," or "bonded to" another element or layer, the element or layer may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly bonded to the other element or layer, or there may be one or more intermediary elements or layers. Similarly, when a layer, region, or element is referred to as being "electrically connected" to another layer, region, or element, the layer, region, or element may be directly electrically connected to the other layer, region, or element, and / or may be indirectly electrically connected to the other layer, region, or element with one or more intermediary layers, regions, or elements situated therebetween. Furthermore, it will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "between" two elements or layers, the element or layer may be the only element or layer between the two elements or layers, or there may be one or more intermediary elements or layers.

[0053] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit this disclosure. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “an” are also intended to include the plural forms. It will also be understood that when the terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” and variations thereof are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, the expression “A and / or B” means A, B, or A and B. When expressions such as “at least one of…” follow a list of elements, the entire list of elements is modified, without modifying any individual elements within the list. For example, the expressions “at least one of a, b and c” and “at least one of the group consisting of a, b and c” indicate only a, only b, only c, both a and b, both a and c, both b and c, all of a, b and c, or variations thereof.

[0054] As used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree and are intended to account for inherent biases in measured or calculated values ​​that will be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. Furthermore, when describing embodiments of this disclosure, the use of “may” refers to “one or more embodiments of this disclosure.” As used herein, the term “use” and variations thereof may be considered synonymous with the term “utilize” and variations thereof, respectively.

[0055] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It will also be understood that terms (such as those defined in a general dictionary) shall be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant field and / or in this specification, and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless expressly defined herein.

When viewed from above (e.g., in a plan view), display panel 200 may have a rectangular shape having a longer side extending in a first direction D1 and a shorter side extending in a second direction D2. In display panel 200, the corners where the longer side extending in the first direction D1 and the shorter side extending in the second direction D2 intersect may be formed at right angles or may be rounded corners with a suitable curvature (e.g., a predetermined curvature). When viewed from above (e.g., in a plan view), display panel 200 may have a quadrilateral shape other than a rectangle, a polygonal shape other than a quadrilateral shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or an irregular shape.

The first heat dissipation layer includes graphite or carbon nanotubes, and the second heat dissipation layer is formed of a thin metal film such as copper, nickel, ferrite, and / or silver. The heat dissipation component can block electromagnetic waves and has high thermal conductivity.

[0079] The connecting member 400 can be connected to a plurality of display pads of the display panel 200 via a conductive adhesive member such as an anisotropic conductive film. Therefore, the display panel 200 and the connecting member 400 can be electrically connected to each other.

[0080] Furthermore, the connecting member 400 can be connected to multiple circuit pads of the driver circuit board 500 via a conductive adhesive member such as an anisotropic conductive film.

The buffer layer 202 can be formed from multiple inorganic layers stacked alternately on top of each other. For example, the buffer layer 202 can consist of multiple layers, among which silicon oxide (SiO2) is one of the layers. x ) layer, silicon nitride (SiN) x One or more inorganic layers, including the SiON layer and the buffer layer, are stacked alternately on top of each other.

Figure 5In the diagram, the thin-film transistor 235 is shown as a top-gate transistor in which the gate electrode 232 is located above the active layer 231. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. In other words, the thin-film transistor 235 can be implemented as a bottom-gate transistor in which the gate electrode 232 is located below (e.g., below) the active layer 231, or as a dual-gate transistor in which the gate electrode 232 is disposed above and below (e.g., below) the active layer 231.

[0094] A protective film 238 can be formed on the source electrode 233 and the drain electrode 234 to insulate the thin-film transistor 235. The protective film 238 can be composed of an inorganic layer (such as silicon oxide (SiO2)). x ) layer, silicon nitride (SiN) x(Taking as an example,) layers or their multiple layers are formed.

[0095] A protective film 238 may be formed on the thin-film transistor 235 to provide a flat or substantially flat surface over the thin-film transistor 235, which has different horizontal heights. An organic film 239 may comprise organic materials such as acrylamide resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, and / or polyimide resin.

[0096] The light-emitting element layer 204 is formed on the thin-film transistor layer 203. The light-emitting element layer 204 includes a light-emitting element and a diaphragm.

[0097] The light-emitting element and the embankment are formed on the organic film 239. An organic light-emitting device including an anode 241, an emitting layer 242, and a cathode 243 can be used as an example of a light-emitting element.

[0098] The anode 241 can be formed on the organic film 239. The anode 241 can be connected to the source electrode 233 or the drain electrode 234 of the thin film transistor 235 via a contact hole that penetrates the protective film 238 and the organic film 239.

[0099] A dam can be formed to cover the edge of the anode 241 on the organic film 239 to define the emission region EA of the pixel. In other words, the dam can define the emission region EA of the pixel. In each pixel, the anode 241, the emission layer 242, and the cathode 243 are stacked sequentially on top of each other, such that holes from the anode 241 and electrons from the cathode 243 recombine in the emission layer 242 to emit light.

[0100] An emitting layer 242 is formed on the anode 241 and the embankment. The emitting layer 242 can be an organic emitting layer. The emitting layer 242 can emit one of red, green, and blue light. As another example, the emitting layer 242 can be a white emitting layer that emits white light. In this case, the red, green, and blue emitting layers can be stacked on top of each other, or they can spread across the pixel common terrain as a common layer. In this case, the display panel 200 may also include additional color filters for rendering red, green, and blue.

[0101] The emitting layer 242 may include a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer. Furthermore, the emitting layer 242 may be formed in a series structure of two or more stacked bodies, in which case a charge-generating layer may be formed between the stacked bodies.

[0102] A cathode 243 is formed on an emissive layer 242. The cathode 243 may be formed to cover the emissive layer 242. The cathode 243 may be a common layer formed throughout the pixels.

[0103] When the light-emitting element layer 204 is a top-emitting type in which light is emitted upwards, the anode 241 can be made of a metallic material with high reflectivity (such as a stacked structure of aluminum and titanium (e.g., Ti / Al / Ti), a stacked structure of aluminum and ITO (e.g., ITO / Al / ITO), an APC alloy, and / or a stacked structure of APC alloy and ITO (e.g., ITO / APC / ITO)). The APC alloy is an alloy of silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), and copper (Cu). The cathode 243 can be formed of a transparent conductive material (TCM) that can transmit light (such as ITO and IZO) or a semi-transmissive conductive material (such as magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), and an alloy of magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag)). When the cathode 243 is formed of a semi-transmissive conductive material, the light extraction efficiency can be increased by using a microcavity.

[0104] When the light-emitting element layer 204 is a bottom-emitting type in which light is emitted downwards, the anode 241 can be formed of a transparent conductive material (TCM) that can transmit light (such as ITO and IZO) or a semi-transmissive conductive material (such as magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), and alloys of magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag)). The cathode 243 can be made of a metallic material with high reflectivity (such as a stacked structure of aluminum and titanium (e.g., Ti / Al / Ti), a stacked structure of aluminum and ITO (e.g., ITO / Al / ITO), an APC alloy, and / or a stacked structure of APC alloy and ITO (e.g., ITO / APC / ITO)). When the anode 241 is formed of a semi-transmissive conductive material, the light extraction efficiency can be increased by using a microcavity.

[0105] An encapsulation layer 205 is formed on the light-emitting element layer 204. The encapsulation layer 205 serves to prevent or substantially prevent oxygen or moisture from penetrating into the emitting layer 242 and the cathode 243. Thus, the encapsulation layer 205 may include at least one inorganic film. The inorganic film may be formed of silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, zirconium nitride, titanium nitride, hafnium nitride, tantalum nitride, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, or titanium oxide. Furthermore, the encapsulation layer 205 may also include at least one organic film. The organic film may have sufficient thickness to prevent or substantially prevent particles from penetrating into the encapsulation layer 205 and entering the emitting layer 242 and the cathode 243. The organic film may include one of epoxy resin, acrylate, and urethane acrylate.

[0106] The sensor unit SENL can be formed on the encapsulation layer 205. When the sensor unit SENL is formed directly on the encapsulation layer 205, the thickness of the display device 10 can be reduced compared to the thickness of the display device in which a separate touch panel is attached to the encapsulation layer 205.

[0107] The sensor unit SENL may include sensor electrodes for sensing a user's touch via capacitive sensing and touch wires for connecting the pad to the sensor electrodes. For example, the sensor unit SENL may sense the user's touch via self-capacitance sensing or mutual capacitance sensing. Figure 5 In the example shown, the sensor unit SENL consists of two layers and includes a driving electrode TE, a sensing electrode RE, and a bridge BE connected between the driving electrodes TE for mutual capacitance sensing.

[0108] The bridge BE can be formed on the encapsulation layer 205. The bridge BE can be, but is not limited to, a stacked structure of aluminum and titanium (e.g., Ti / Al / Ti), a stacked structure of aluminum and ITO (e.g., ITO / Al / ITO), an APC alloy, and / or a stacked structure of APC alloy and ITO (e.g., ITO / APC / ITO). For example, the bridge BE can be composed of a single layer of molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), or ITO.

[0109] The first sensing insulating film TINS1 is formed on the bridge BE. The first sensing insulating film TINS1 can be formed from an inorganic film (such as a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxynitride layer, a silicon oxide layer, a titanium oxide layer, or an aluminum oxide layer).

[0110] The driving electrode TE and the sensing electrode RE can be formed on the first sensing insulating film TINS1. The driving electrode TE and the sensing electrode RE can be formed as, but are not limited to, a stacked structure of aluminum and titanium (e.g., Ti / Al / Ti), a stacked structure of aluminum and ITO (e.g., ITO / Al / ITO), an APC alloy, and / or a stacked structure of APC alloy and ITO (e.g., ITO / APC / ITO). For example, the driving electrode TE and the sensing electrode RE can be composed of a monolayer of molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), or ITO.

[0111] A contact hole can be formed in the first sensing insulating film TINS1 to penetrate the first sensing insulating film TINS1 and expose the bridge BE. The drive electrode TE can be connected to the bridge BE through the contact hole.

[0112] A second sensing insulating film TINS2 is formed on the driving electrode TE and the sensing electrode RE. The second sensing insulating film TINS2 can provide a flat or substantially flat surface on the driving electrode TE, the sensing electrode RE, and the bridge BE, which have different heights. The second sensing insulating film TINS2 can be formed from organic materials such as acrylamide resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, and / or polyimide resin.

[0113] A bridge BE connecting adjacent driving electrodes TE can be disposed on the encapsulation layer 205, and the driving electrode TE and the sensing electrode RE can be disposed on the first sensing insulating film TINS1. Therefore, the driving electrode TE and the sensing electrode RE can be electrically separated from each other at their intersection, while the sensing electrode RE can be electrically connected to each other in a certain direction (e.g., in one direction), and the driving electrode TE can be electrically connected to each other in another direction.

[0114] The polarizing film PF can be disposed on the second sensing insulating film TINS2 and can prevent or substantially prevent the degradation of the image visibility of the display panel 200 due to the reflection of external light.

[0115] Figure 6 yes Figure 3 A plan view of the adhesive unit. Figure 7 It is along Figure 6 A sectional view taken by line A-A'. Figure 8 It is along Figure 6 A sectional view taken by line B-B'. For example, Figure 6 yes Figure 3 A plan view of one of the adhesive units 600 shown.

[0116] Reference Figure 3 and Figures 6 to 8 The adhesive unit 600 can display the display device 10 and the bracket 22 (for example, see...). Figure 13 The adhesive unit 600 may be disposed on at least one of the cover window 100 and the panel bottom member 300. For example, multiple adhesive units (e.g., multiple adhesive stacks) 600 may be present on the cover window 100 and the panel bottom member 300.

[0117] like Figure 3 As shown, the adhesive unit 600 disposed on the cover window 100 can be disposed on the portion of the cover window 100 where it does not overlap with the bottom panel member 300, and in the portion of the cover window 100 where it does not overlap with the connecting member 400. In some embodiments, the adhesive unit 600 can be arranged along the edge of the cover window 100, and can be disposed at the edge of the cover window 100 where it does not overlap with the connecting member 400. The adhesive unit 600 disposed on the cover window 100 can contact the bracket 22. In some embodiments, the adhesive unit 600 can be disposed between the cover window 100 and the bracket 22.

[0118] Additionally, the adhesive unit 600 disposed on the panel bottom member 300 may be disposed on the portion of the panel bottom member 300 where the panel bottom member 300 and the driver circuit board 500 do not overlap. In some embodiments, a plurality of adhesive units 600 may be spaced apart from each other on the panel bottom member 300 and may be disposed in areas other than the area where the panel bottom member 300 and the driver circuit board 500 overlap. The adhesive unit 600 disposed on the panel bottom member 300 may contact the bracket 22. In some embodiments, the adhesive unit 600 may be disposed between the panel bottom member 300 and the bracket 22.

[0119] The adhesive unit (e.g., adhesive stack) 600 may include a first cover 610, a plurality of adhesive members, and a second cover 640. The plurality of adhesive members may include a plurality of first adhesive members 620 and a plurality of second adhesive members 630.

[0120] The first cover 610 can be configured as a plate with a suitable thickness (e.g., a predetermined thickness). When viewed from above (e.g., in a plan view), the shape of the first cover 610 can be rectangular, which has a certain orientation (e.g., Figure 6 The first cover 610 consists of a pair of longer sides extending to the right (in the direction of the first cover) and a pair of shorter sides extending in another direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the first adhesive member 620, the second adhesive member 630, and the second cover 640. When viewed from above (e.g., in a plan view), the area of ​​the first cover 610 may be larger than the area of ​​the second cover 640. The first cover 610 can protect the first adhesive member 620 before the adhesive unit 600 is placed on the cover window 100 or the panel bottom member 300. Therefore, when the adhesive unit 600 is placed on the cover window 100 or the panel bottom member 300, the first cover 610 can be separated from the first adhesive member 620.

[0121] The first adhesive member 620 may be arranged on the first cover 610 in a certain direction (e.g., Figure 8 The adhesive members 620 may be spaced apart from each other in a direction (e.g., in one direction) on the first cover 610. For example, the first adhesive member 620 may include adhesive member 620-1, adhesive member 620-2, adhesive member 620-3, and adhesive member 620-4. Adhesive member 620-1, adhesive member 620-2, adhesive member 620-3, and adhesive member 620-4 may be spaced apart from each other in a certain direction (e.g., in one direction) on the first cover 610.

[0122] The lengths L-1, L-2, L-3, and L-4 of the first adhesive member 620 in a certain direction can gradually decrease along said certain direction. For example, the length L-2 of the 1-2 adhesive member 620-2 in the certain direction can be shorter than the length L-1 of the 1-1 adhesive member 620-1 in the certain direction. The length L-3 of the 1-3 adhesive member 620-3 in the certain direction can be shorter than the length L-2 of the 1-2 adhesive member 620-2 in the certain direction. The length L-4 of the 1-4 adhesive member 620-4 in the certain direction can be shorter than the length L-3 of the 1-3 adhesive member 620-3 in the certain direction.

[0123] Because the first adhesive members 620 are spaced apart from each other in the stated direction, a space can be formed between the first adhesive members 620. For example, a first space can be formed between adhesive member 620-1 and adhesive member 620-2, a second space can be formed between adhesive member 620-2 and adhesive member 620-3, and a third space can be formed between adhesive member 620-3 and adhesive member 620-4.

[0124] The lengths SA-1, SA-2, and SA-3 of the spaces in a certain direction can become shorter along said certain direction. For example, the length SA-2 of the second space in said certain direction can be shorter than the length SA-1 of the first space in said certain direction, and the length SA-3 of the third space in said certain direction can be shorter than the length SA-2 of the second space in said certain direction.

[0125] The second adhesive member 630 may be disposed on the first adhesive member 620 to contact the bracket 22. The second adhesive member 630 may be arranged on the first adhesive member 620 in a certain direction (e.g., Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second adhesive members 630 may be disposed on the first adhesive member 620 and may be spaced apart from each other on the first adhesive member 620 in the said direction. For example, the second adhesive member 630 may include 2-1 adhesive member 630-1, 2-2 adhesive member 630-2, 2-3 adhesive member 630-3, and 2-4 adhesive member 630-4. 2-1 adhesive member 630-1 may be disposed on 1-1 adhesive member 620-1, 2-2 adhesive member 630-2 may be disposed on 1-2 adhesive member 620-2, 2-3 adhesive member 630-3 may be disposed on 1-3 adhesive member 620-3, and 2-4 adhesive member 630-4 may be disposed on 1-4 adhesive member 620-4.

[0126] The lengths L-1, L-2, L-3, and L-4 of the second adhesive member 630 in a certain direction can gradually decrease along said certain direction. For example, the length L-2 of the 2-2 adhesive member 630-2 in the certain direction can be shorter than the length L-1 of the 2-1 adhesive member 630-1 in the certain direction. The length L-3 of the 2-3 adhesive member 630-3 in the certain direction can be shorter than the length L-2 of the 2-2 adhesive member 630-2 in the certain direction. The length L-4 of the 2-4 adhesive member 630-4 in the certain direction can be shorter than the length L-3 of the 2-3 adhesive member 630-3 in the certain direction.

[0127] The lengths L-1, L-2, L-3, and L-4 of adhesive components 630-1 (2-1), 630-2 (2-2), 630-3 (2-3), and 630-4 (2-4) in the specified direction may be equal to or substantially equal to the lengths L-1, L-2, L-3, and L-4 of adhesive components 620-1 (1-1), 620-2 (1-2), 620-3 (1-3), and 620-4 (1-4) in the specified direction.

[0128] The thickness of the second adhesive member 630 may be greater than the thickness of the first adhesive member 620. For example, the thickness of the 2-1 adhesive member 630-1 may be greater than the thickness of the 1-1 adhesive member 620-1, the thickness of the 2-2 adhesive member 630-2 may be greater than the thickness of the 1-2 adhesive member 620-2, the thickness of the 2-3 adhesive member 630-3 may be greater than the thickness of the 1-3 adhesive member 620-3, and the thickness of the 2-4 adhesive member 630-4 may be greater than the thickness of the 1-4 adhesive member 620-4.

[0129] Because the second adhesive members 630 are spaced apart from each other in the stated direction, spaces can be formed between the second adhesive members 630. For example, a first space can be formed between adhesive members 630-1 and 630-2, a second space can be formed between adhesive members 630-2 and 630-3, and a third space can be formed between adhesive members 630-3 and 630-4.

[0130] The lengths SA-1, SA-2, and SA-3 of the spaces in a certain direction can become shorter along said certain direction. For example, the length SA-2 of the second space in said certain direction can be shorter than the length SA-1 of the first space in said certain direction, and the length SA-3 of the third space in said certain direction can be shorter than the length SA-2 of the second space in said certain direction.

[0131] The second cover 640 can be configured as a plate with a suitable thickness (e.g., a predetermined thickness). When viewed from above (e.g., in a plan view), the shape of the second cover 640 can be rectangular, which has a certain orientation (e.g., Figure 6 The first cover 610 consists of a pair of longer sides extending to the right and a pair of shorter sides extending in another direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the first cover 610. A second cover 640 may be disposed on the second adhesive member 630 to cover it. When viewed from above (e.g., in a plan view), the area of ​​the second cover 640 may be smaller than the area of ​​the first cover 610. The second cover 640 can protect the second adhesive member 630 before the adhesive unit 600 contacts the bracket 22. Therefore, when the adhesive unit 600 contacts the bracket 22, the second cover 640 can be separated from the second adhesive member 630.

[0132] Figure 9 It is shown Figure 3 A view of the adhesive unit set on the bottom component of the cover window or panel. Figure 10 This is a view showing the process of removing the first cover from the adhesive unit. Figure 11 This illustrates a movable adhesive unit that contacts one side of the cover window or panel bottom component and... Figure 10 The view shown illustrates the process of pressing the adhesive unit while moving the adhesive roller. Figure 12 It is shown via Figure 11 The process shown is a view of the adhesive unit attached to the bottom component of the cover window or panel.

[0133] The following will refer to Figures 9 to 12 The process of attaching the adhesive unit 600 to the cover window 100 or the bottom panel member 300 is described in more detail. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the adhesive unit 600 can be placed above the cover window 100 or the panel bottom member 300.

[0134] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, once the adhesive unit 600 is placed over the cover window 100 or the panel bottom member 300, the first cover 610 can be separated from the first adhesive member 620, and then one side of the adhesive unit 600 in a certain direction (e.g., Figure 10 The left side of the adhesive unit 600 moves downward so that the side of the adhesive unit 600 contacts the cover window 100 or the bottom panel member 300.

[0135] Once one side of the adhesive unit 600 is brought into contact with the cover window 100 or the panel bottom member 300, the opposite sides of the adhesive unit 600 in the stated direction can be oriented to one side (e.g., Figure 11By pulling (from the right side), the adhesive unit 600 can be pressed downward toward the cover window 100 or the bottom panel member 300. The adhesive unit 600 can be pressed by moving a separate roller member from one side of the adhesive unit 600 in a certain direction to the opposite side. As described above, the adhesive unit 600 is pressed by moving the roller member from one side of the adhesive unit 600 in the stated certain direction to the other side, as... Figure 12 As shown, the first adhesive member 620 can be attached to the cover window 100 or the panel bottom member 300.

[0136] The adhesive members of the adhesive unit 600 can be arranged such that they are spaced apart from each other in a certain direction. The length of the adhesive members in the certain direction can gradually decrease along the certain direction, and the length of the space formed between the adhesive members in the certain direction can also gradually decrease along the certain direction, so that deformation of the adhesive members can be reduced during the process of attaching the adhesive unit 600 and pulling the opposite sides of the adhesive unit 600 in the certain direction. For example, in order to attach the adhesive unit 600 to the cover window 100 or the bottom panel member 300, the adhesive unit 600 can be attached while pulling the 1-4 adhesive members 620-4 and the 2-4 adhesive members 630-4. Because the lengths of adhesive members 620-4 (1-4) and 630-4 (2-4) in a certain direction can be shorter than the lengths of other adhesive members, and because adhesive members 620-4 and 630-4 (2-4) can be spaced apart from other adhesive members, deformation that may be caused by pulling adhesive members 620-4 and 630-4 (2-4) in the stated direction can be reduced. Therefore, the adhesive unit 600 can be attached to the desired position (e.g., the correct position) of the cover window 100 or the bottom panel member 300 by suppressing the deformation of the adhesive members.

[0137] Figure 13 This is a cross-sectional view illustrating an electronic device incorporating a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0138] Reference Figure 13 The rear cover 20 may form part of the exterior of the electronic device 1. The rear cover 20 may be formed as surrounding the internal components of the electronic device 1 other than the cover window 100 (e.g., around the periphery of the internal components of the electronic device 1 other than the cover window 100). In some embodiments, the rear cover 20 may be disposed at the bottom of the display device 10 to cover the internal electronic components of the display device 10, thereby protecting the display device 10 from external impacts.

[0139] A heat spreader 21 may be disposed on the rear cover 20. The heat spreader 21 may have a vacuum space formed therein, and the heat transfer medium may be contained in the internal vacuum space. The heat spreader 21 may dissipate the heat generated in the display device 10 due to the phase change of the heat transfer medium contained in the internal vacuum space.

[0140] The bracket 22 can support the display device 10. The bracket 22 can be disposed below the bottom panel member 300 and on the heat spreader 21. In some embodiments, the bracket 22 can be disposed between the bottom panel member 300 and the heat spreader 21.

[0141] The second adhesive member 630 of the adhesive unit 600, disposed on the bottom panel member 300, can contact and be attached to the bracket 22 disposed below (e.g., below) the bottom panel member 300. The second cover 640 can be separated from the second adhesive member 630 before the second adhesive member 630 of the adhesive unit 600, disposed on the bottom panel member 300, contacts the bracket 22.

[0142] Additionally, one end of the bracket 22 may protrude in the third direction D3 (as the thickness direction of the display device 10) and may be located below the cover window 100. The second adhesive member 630 of the adhesive unit 600, disposed on the cover window 100, may contact and be attached to the end of the bracket 22. The second cover 640 may be separated from the second adhesive member 630 before the second adhesive member 630 of the adhesive unit 600, disposed on the cover window 100, contacts the end of the bracket 22.

[0143] As described above, when the cover window 100 and the panel bottom member 300 are attached to the bracket 22 by the adhesive unit 600, the display device 10 can be combined with the bracket 22 of the electronic device 1.
