A display panel may include a substrate, a light-emitting diode, a first dam, a crack sensing member, and a planarization layer. The substrate may include a transmission area, a display area at least partially surrounding the transmission area, and an intermediate area positioned between the transmission area and the display area. The light-emitting diode may be positioned on the display area and may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and a functional layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first dam may be positioned on the intermediate area. The crack sensing member may be positioned farther from the transmission area than the first dam. The planarization layer may be positioned on the crack sensing member.

Display panel and display apparatus

A flexible display device including a display panel layer, a touch sensing layer, a reflection prevention layer, and a window layer. The touch sensing layer is disposed directly on a first display panel surface, a second display panel surface facing the first display panel surface in a thickness direction, or a second base surface of the reflection prevention layer. The reflection prevention layer is disposed directly on the second display panel surface or a first base surface of the touch sensing layer. The window layer is disposed directly on the first base surface or the second base surface.

Flexible display device

A flexible display device includes a protection member, a first adhesion member, a display member, a second adhesion member, and a window member. A thickness of the display member is less than a sum of thicknesses of the protection member and the window member. The display member includes a display panel layer, a touch sensing layer, and a reflection prevention layer integrated with each other to reduce a thickness of the flexible display device. The reduction in thickness enables the flexible display device to be bent with a relatively small radius of curvature, as well as to be repeatedly bent (or otherwise flexed) with reduced potential for delamination of the first and second adhesion members.

A display device includes (i) a substrate having a first area, a second area, and a bending area located between the first area and the second area, where the substrate is bent along a bending axis in the bending area, the substrate includes a thin portion at an edge portion of the bending area, and the thin portion extends from the second area to the first area and has a thickness less than a thickness of the substrate at a center of the bending area; and (ii) an inorganic insulating layer over the substrate, where the inorganic insulating layer exposes the thin portion in the bending area.

Display device including inorganic insulating layer in bending area

A flexible display device includes a display panel layer, a touch sensing layer, a reflection prevention layer, and a window layer. The touch sensing layer is disposed directly on a first display panel surface, a second display panel surface facing the first display panel surface in a thickness direction, or a second base surface of the reflection prevention layer. The reflection prevention layer is disposed directly on the second display panel surface or a first base surface of the touch sensing layer. The window layer is disposed directly on the first base surface or the second base surface.

Display device including inorganic insulting layer in bending area

A display device includes a base substrate including a display area and a bending area bent from the display area, the bending area including a central area, and an edge area positioned at a side of the central area, a pixel structure disposed in the display area on the base substrate, an inorganic pattern disposed in the central area on the base substrate, and an organic pattern disposed on the inorganic pattern, overlapping the inorganic pattern, and contacting the base substrate in the edge area.

Display device and method of manufacturing the same

A display device includes a substrate including a display area and a peripheral area outside the display area, where the peripheral area includes a bending area and the bending area bent around a bending axis; an inorganic material layer disposed on the substrate and having a trench corresponding to the bending area and; a construction member disposed in the trench of the inorganic material layer; a first organic material layer covering the construction member; and a conductive layer disposed on the first organic material layer.
