A display device includes a plurality of islands and a bridge connecting the plurality of islands to each other. Each of the plurality of islands includes a flexible substrate, a thin film transistor positioned on a first surface of the flexible substrate, a first electrode connected to the thin film transistor, and a protective mask positioned on a second surface of the flexible substrate.

Display device and manufacturing method thereof

The present disclosure relates to a display panel including a display area that can be stretched by including a plurality of stretching units and a peripheral area positioned at an edge of the display area. Each of the stretching units includes: a plurality of islands separately disposed to include a plurality of pixels disposed therein; a plurality of bridges extended from the islands to connect adjacent islands or to connect the islands with the peripheral area; and a plurality of openings disposed adjacent to the bridges, between the bridges, and between the bridges and the islands, wherein areas of the islands are gradually increased toward the peripheral area.

Display panel

The present inventive concept relates to a display device. A display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present inventive concept include: a base layer including a plurality of islands in which a pixel is disposed, a plurality of bridges disposed around each of the plurality of islands, a plurality of first wires disposed in a bridge of the plurality of bridges connected to the pixel is disposed; an inorganic insulating layer disposed on the base layer and having an opening exposing a portion of the bridge; and an organic material layer covering the opening, wherein adjacent islands of the plurality of islands are connected to each other through at least the bridge of the plurality of bridges, and the plurality of first wires are disposed on the organic material layer.

Flexible display device including bridges around island base

Organic light-emitting display devices are provided. One organic light-emitting display device includes a substrate, a first wire on the substrate, a second wire insulated from and crossing the first wire, and a static electricity dispersion pattern insulated from and crossing the second wire. Another organic light-emitting display device includes: a substrate; a gate line and a data line on the substrate, insulated from and crossing each other; a dummy wire that is part of a same layer as one of the gate line or the data line, and having at least one end aligned with a sidewall of the substrate; a dummy intersection wire insulated from and crossing the dummy wire; and a static electricity dispersion pattern insulated from and crossing the dummy intersection wire.

Organic light-emitting display device

A method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display panel is disclosed. The method may include forming a thin film layer using an open mask. The open mask may include forming a half-etching portion disposed over at least a portion of a non-display area. The non-display area may include a portion in which a first line crosses a second line. In a final product, a distance between a substrate and a lower surface of the half-etching portion may be longer than the distance between the substrate and a lower surface of a non-opening portion. Because of the half-etching portion, lines disposed in the non-display area may be prevented from contacting the open mask.

Method of manufacturing organic light emitting display panel

In a method of manufacturing an organic electroluminescent display, when a substrate including first and second pixel areas is prepared, a first mask including openings is disposed on the substrate to respectively correspond to the first and second pixel areas, and a second mask including an opening corresponding to the first pixel area is disposed on the first mask to expose the first pixel area and cover the second pixel area. Then, a first organic light emitting material is provided to the substrate to form the first organic light emitting material in the first pixel area and the second mask is removed from the substrate to expose the first and second pixel areas. Thereafter, a second organic light emitting material is provided to the substrate to form the second light emitting material in the first and second pixel areas and the first mask is removed from the substrate.
