For example, the first overflow prevention area (S1) may include a first-1 section (S11) extended from the application area (S3) in a first direction (e.g., +X direction) and a second-1 section (S12) open to the periphery of the separation area (S) so as to form a predetermined angle (e.g., the first angle (α1) in FIG. 7a) from the first-1 section (S11). For example, the direction in which the second-1 section (S12) is extended may intersect the first direction. For example, the second overflow prevention area (S2) may include a first-2 section (S21) extending from the application area (S3) in a second direction different from the first direction (e.g., -X direction), and a second-2 section (S22) extending from the first-2 section (S21) to form a predetermined angle (e.g., the second angle (α2) in FIG. 7b) with respect to the first-2 section (S21) and open to the periphery of the separation area (S). For example, the second direction in which the first-2 section (S21) is extended may be opposite to the first direction. For example, the direction in which the second-2 section (S22) is extended may intersect the second direction. For example, the direction in which the second-2 section (S22) is extended may be opposite to the direction in which the second-1 section (S12) is extended. For example, the first angle (α1) may be substantially the same as the second angle (α2). For example, the first angle (α1) may be different from the second angle (α2). For example, the first angle (α1) may be about 30 degrees or more and about 80 degrees or less, or about 45 degrees or more and about 70 degrees or less.For example, the second angle (α2) may be about 30 degrees or more and about 80 degrees or about 45 degrees or more and about 70 degrees.

[0097] Referring to FIG. 6b, according to one embodiment, the overflow prevention regions (S1, S2) may be formed such that the width of the second section (S12, S22) increases as it moves away from the first section (S11, S21). According to one embodiment, the smallest part of the width of the second section (S12, S22) (e.g., width in the X-axis direction) may be the width of the part closest to the first section (S11, S21) (e.g., the first width (t1) in FIG. 6b). According to one embodiment, the width of the first section (S11, S21) (e.g., the second width (t2) in FIG. 6b) may be larger than the width of the part closest to the first section (S11, S21) (e.g., the first width (t1) in FIG. 6b). For example, the second width (t2) may be about 4 times, about 3 times or more, or about 2 times or more than the first width (t1). As an example, the first width (t1) may be about 0.3 mm and the second width (t2) may be about 0.6 mm, which is 2 times the first width (t1).

[0098] According to one embodiment, an overflow prevention area (S1, S2) having a structure (e.g., bottleneck structure) in which the first width (t1) is smaller than the second width (t2) is provided, so that the phenomenon of the adhesive material (280) being detached from the periphery of the separation area (S) due to pressure when the support structure (211a and / or 220) is pressed and bonded toward the second surface (201b) while adhesive tapes (270) and adhesive material (280) are placed on the second surface (201b) of the display (201) can be reduced, and defects caused by the detachment of the adhesive material (280) (e.g., lifting between the display (201) and the support structure (211a and / or 220)) can be reduced or prevented.

[0099] According to one embodiment, the first end (E1) and the second end (E2) may include a first part (271) and a third part (274) forming a first overflow prevention area (S1) connected to one side of the coating area (S3) of the separation area (S). According to one embodiment, the first end (E1) and the second end (E2) may include a second part (272) and a fourth part (274) forming a second overflow prevention area (S2) connected to the opposite side of the coating area (S3) of the separation area (S). According to one embodiment, the first portion (271) of the first end (E1) and the third portion (274) of the second end (E2) may be formed to include a first-1 section (S11) in which the first overflow prevention area (S1) extends from the application area (S3) in a first direction (e.g., +X axis direction) and a second-1 section (S12) in which the first-1 section (S11) extends in a third direction (e.g., +Y direction) that at least partially intersects the first direction. According to one embodiment, the first portion (271) of the first end (E1) and the third portion (274) of the second end (E2) may be formed such that the second overflow prevention area (S2) includes a first-2 section (S21) extending from the application area (S3) in a second direction opposite to the first direction (e.g., -X direction) and a second-2 section (S22) extending from the first-2 section (S21) in a fourth direction (e.g., -Y direction) that intersects at least partially with the second direction.

[0100] According to one embodiment, the display (201) may include a first fiducial mark (P1) formed on at least a portion of the coating area. According to one embodiment, the display (201) may further include a second fiducial mark (P2) formed around the first fiducial mark (P1) and spaced apart from the first fiducial mark (P1). A first area (D1) may be formed between them. According to one embodiment, a first area (D1) may be formed between the first fiducial mark (P1) and the second fiducial mark (P2). The area around the second fiducial mark (P2) may be referred to as the second area (D2).

[0101] For example, a bonding device used in the process of manufacturing an electronic device (101) includes an optical device, and can acquire images of a first fiducial mark (P1), a second fiducial mark (P2), a first region (D1) and / or a second region (D2) through the optical device. For example, in the acquired image, the first fiducial mark (P1) can be recognized by the bonding device because the surface roughness of the first fiducial mark (P1) and the first region (D1) are different. For example, in the acquired image, the second fiducial mark (P2) and / or the first fiducial mark (P1) can be recognized by the bonding device because the surface roughness of the second fiducial mark (P2) and the first region (D1) and / or the second region (D2) is different.

[0102] For example, since the first fiducial mark (P1) and the first fiducial mark (P1) are contrasted with the first area (D1), the first fiducial mark (P1) can be identified or recognized by the bonding device. For example, since the second fiducial mark (P2) is contrasted with the first area (D1) and / or the second area (D2), the second fiducial mark (P2) and / or the first fiducial mark (P1) can be identified or recognized by the bonding device. For example, by including the second fiducial mark (P2), the accuracy of the position recognition of the first fiducial mark (P1) by the bonding device can be improved compared to the case where the second fiducial mark (P2) is not included. For example, the surface roughness and / or height (e.g., height in the Z-axis direction) of the first fiducial mark (P1) and the second fiducial mark (P2) may be different from each other or substantially the same.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 7a, according to one embodiment, the display (201) may further include a guide mark (M) formed on a second surface (201b). Adhesive tapes (270) may be placed along the guide mark (M). Referring to FIG. 7a, for example, at least a portion of the guide mark (M) may define or indicate an area of ​​a fiducial mark (P). For example, the guide mark (M) may include a first guide mark (M1) which is the boundary of a first fiducial mark (P1). For example, the guide mark (M) may include a second guide mark (M2) and a third guide mark (M3) which are the boundaries of a second fiducial mark (P2). For example, the guide mark (M) may further include a mark formed on the second surface (201b) of the display (201) in a shape corresponding to the shape of at least a portion (e.g., the first end (E1) and the second end (E2)) of the adhesive tapes (270) (e.g., the second adhesive tape (270-2) and the fourth adhesive tape (270-4)). For example, the first guide mark (M1) may be formed to help the adhesive tapes (270) be positioned in the correct location on the display (201) on the second surface (201b). For example, the shape of the notch (273 and / or 276) of the first end (E1) and / or the second end (E2) may correspond to the shape of the guide mark (M). The guide mark (M) on the display (201) helps the adhesive tape (270) be placed in the correct position on the second surface (201b), thereby reducing or preventing eccentricity of the adhesive tape (270).

The rear plate (211) of FIGS. 8a, FIGS. 8b, FIGS. 10a, and FIGS. 10b may be referenced to the rear plate (211) of FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 4. The descriptions regarding the embodiments of FIGS. 5 through 7b may be equally applied to the embodiments of FIGS. 8a through 10b.

[0106] Referring to FIG. 8a, according to one embodiment, adhesive tapes (270) (e.g., second adhesive tape (270-2), fourth adhesive tape (270-4)) and an adhesive material (280) may be placed on a second surface (201b) of a display (201) and in a coating area (S3) between the adhesive tapes (270).

[0107] Referring to FIG. 8b, according to one embodiment, adhesive tapes (270) and an adhesive material (280) are placed on a second surface (201b) of a display (201), and a support structure (e.g., the first support structure (220) of FIG. 4 and the first support structure (220) of FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b) is placed on the adhesive tapes (270) and the adhesive material (280), and the support structure (211a and / or 220) can be pressed or compressed toward the display (201). The display (201) and the support structure (211a and / or 220) can be joined to each other by the adhesive tapes (270) and the adhesive material (280). Referring to FIG. 8b, for example, even if the adhesive material (280) includes a portion that has penetrated between the adhesive tapes (270) and the display (201) (e.g., indicated as 2811 in FIG. 8b), the adhesive force of the adhesive material (280) replaces the adhesive surface of the adhesive tapes (270) that has not come into contact with the support structure (211a and / or 220) due to the penetrated portion (2811), so that there may be no adverse effect on the bonding force or adhesive force between the display (201) and the support structure (211a and / or 220).

[0108] FIG. 10a is a side cross-sectional view along B-B' of FIG. 9, and FIG. 10b may be a partial enlarged view of FIG. 10a. In FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b, the adhesive material (280) is conceptually depicted as applied and not spread. Referring to FIG. 10a, tapes (270-2, 270-4) and the adhesive material (280) may bond the second surface (201b) of the display (201) to a support structure (211a and / or 220). Referring to FIG. 10b, according to one embodiment, the display (201) may further include a black layer (G) laminated, coated, formed, or placed on the second surface (201b). For example, fiducial marks (P1, P2) may be laminated, coated, formed, or placed on the black layer (G2). For example, the black layer (G) may be formed such that the area where fiducial marks (P1, P2) are formed and the area where fiducial marks (P1, P2) are not formed are distinguished by an equipment device used for assembly of the display (201) or application of an adhesive material (280). For example, the black layer (G) may be marked with a first color (e.g., black), and the first fiducial mark (P1) and second fiducial mark (P2) may be marked with a second color (e.g., white) that is different from the first color.

[0109] Referring to FIG. 11 (a) and (b), a plurality of adhesive tapes (270) may be placed along the edges or ends (201-1, 201-2, 201-3, 201-4) of the display (201) on the second surface (201b) of the display (201). Referring to FIG. 11 (c), according to one embodiment, a spaced-out area (S) formed between a plurality of adhesive tapes (270) may include a first spaced-out area (Sa) formed between a first adhesive tape (270-1) and a third adhesive tape (270-3), a second spaced-out area (Sb) formed between a first adhesive tape (270-1) and a fourth adhesive tape (270-4), a third spaced-out area (Sc) formed between a second adhesive tape (270-2) and a third adhesive tape (270-3), and a fourth spaced-out area (Sd) formed between a second adhesive tape (270-2) and a fourth adhesive tape (270-4). Referring to FIG. 11 (c), an adhesive material (280) may be applied to a spaced area (S), for example, the adhesive material (280) may be applied in a dot shape to the center of the application area (e.g., the application area (S3) of FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b). Referring to FIG. 11 (d), according to one embodiment, when the adhesive tapes (270) and the adhesive material (280) are placed on the second surface (201b) of the display (201), a support structure (e.g., the first support structure (220) of FIG. 4 and the first support structure (220) of FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b)) may be placed on the adhesive tapes (270) and the adhesive material (280), and the support structure (211a and / or 220) may be pressed or compressed toward the display (201). The display (201) and the support structure (211a and / or 220) can be joined together by adhesive tapes (270) and an adhesive material (280).

[0110] According to one embodiment, a separation area (S) may be positioned along the side where the flexible circuit board (219) is not located on the second side (201b) of the display (201). For example, if the flexible circuit board (219) extends from the first side end (201-3) or the second side end (201-4) of the display (201), the first separation area (e.g., Sa in FIG. 11) and the second separation area (e.g., Sb in FIG. 11) may be positioned closer to the top than to the first side end (270-3) or the second side end (270-4). Likewise, for example, if the flexible circuit board (219) extends from the first side end (201-3) or the second side end (201-4) of the display (201), the third spaced-out area (e.g., Sc in FIG. 11) and the fourth spaced-out area (e.g., Sd in FIG. 11) may be positioned closer to the bottom (270-2) than to the first side end (270-3) or the second side end (270-4). For example, if the flexible circuit board (219) extends from the top (201-1) or bottom (201-2) of the display (201), the first separation area (e.g., Sa in FIG. 11) and the second separation area (e.g., Sb in FIG. 11) may be positioned closer to the top (201-1) than to the first side end (270-3) or the second side end (270-4). Likewise, for example, if the flexible circuit board (219) extends from the top (201-1) or bottom (201-2) of the display (201), the third separation area (e.g., Sc in FIG. 11) and the fourth separation area (e.g., Sd in FIG. 11) may be positioned closer to the bottom (270-2) than to the first side end (270-3) or the second side end (270-4). However, the position of the separation area (S) is not limited and, as an example, may be set regardless of the position of the flexible circuit board (219).

According to this bonding structure, compared to a conventional integral adhesive member (e.g., a square adhesive member), there is an advantage of cost reduction due to less material loss during the manufacturing process of the adhesive tapes.

[0116] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, in a bonding structure of a display, adhesive tapes may be disposed on the back surface of the display with a gap area in between. The ends of the adhesive tapes may be formed to provide an application area in which an adhesive material is disposed in the gap area, and an overflow prevention area that accommodates the adhesive material that has detached from the application area due to external pressure. The application area may be located in the center of the gap area, and the overflow prevention area may extend from the application area. By providing such an overflow prevention area, the phenomenon of the adhesive material detaching to the periphery of the gap area due to pressure when a support structure is compressed and bonded to the back surface while the adhesive tapes and adhesive material are disposed on the back surface of the display may be reduced, and defects caused by the detachment of the adhesive material (e.g., lifting between the display and the support structure) may be reduced or prevented.

[0117] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a guide mark is printed on the back surface of the display to help position the adhesive tape in the correct position, thereby reducing or preventing eccentricity of the adhesive tape.

[0118] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a waterproof and / or dustproof function of an electronic device may be provided by including adhesive tapes disposed on the back surface of a display, an application area in which an adhesive material is disposed in a spaced area of ​​the ends of the adhesive tapes, and an overflow prevention area that receives the adhesive material detached from the application area.
