Abstract:
A flexible display panel includes a display area to display an image, and a non-display area disposed outside the display area. The non-display area includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion extends from the display area, and includes a support layer disposed on a flexible substrate. The second portion extends from the first portion, and is bent from a plane of the first portion. A property of a material of the support layer in the first portion is different than the property of the material of the support layer in the second portion.

Abstract:
A surface inspection apparatus and method, and a method of manufacturing a display device are disclosed. In one aspect, the surface inspection method includes placing an object on a stage comprising a top surface inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a plane having a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction. The method also includes irradiating light onto the object via a surface inspection unit. The method also includes obtaining a first image comprising first interference fringes captured by the imaging device, moving at least one of the surface inspection unit and the stage in at least one of the first and second directions, obtaining a second image including second interference fringes captured by the imaging device, and moving the surface inspection unit in the third direction so as to correct movement of the second interference fringes with respect to the first interference fringes.

Abstract:
A multi-sided light-emitting display apparatus includes a first display panel including a first display area, and a 1-1 edge area and a 1-2 edge area on opposite sides of the first display area, and a second display panel including a second display area, and a 2-1 edge area and a 2-2 edge area on opposite sides of the second display area. The second display panel is assembled with the first display panel with the 1-1 edge area and the 1-2 edge area being bent toward the second display area, and the 2-1 edge area and the 2-2 edge area being bent toward the first display area.
Abstract:
A display panel includes a light emitting element layer comprising a pixel definition layer having an opening defined therethrough and a light emitting element disposed in the opening. The pixel definition layer includes a first barrier portion and a second barrier portion spaced apart from each other in a first direction to define a first space having a first length in the first direction. A first inorganic layer covers the light emitting element layer. The first inorganic layer includes an uneven upper surface corresponding to the first space. An organic layer is in contact with an upper surface of the first in layer. A first groove is defined by the upper surface of the first inorganic layer overlapping the first space. A thickness of the first inorganic layer overlapping the first space varies. The organic layer is filled in the first groove.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a substrate including a first area, a second area, and a bending area between the first area and the second area, a plurality of display devices arranged in the first area, a thin film encapsulation layer covering the plurality of display devices and including a first inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer, a connection wire extending from the first area to the second area across the bending area, and a bending protection layer covering the connection wire in the bending area and covering at least a portion of the thin film encapsulation layer, and the bending protection layer includes a light-blocking material.
Abstract:
A display device includes a substrate having a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area. A drain electrode is disposed in the display area and is positioned adjacent to the non-display area. A light emitting element is disposed in the display area and is connected to the drain electrode. The light emitting element is disposed farther from the non-display area than the drain electrode. A plurality of first dams is disposed in the display area and is positioned between the drain electrode and the light emitting element. Each of the plurality of first dams are spaced apart from each other.
Abstract:
Provided is a foldable display apparatus including: a display panel that is foldable; and a protection film on a surface of the display panel, the protection film including a thin film zone having a predetermined depth at a location corresponding to a folding portion of the display panel, wherein the thin film zone has edges wider than a central portion of the thin film zone.
Abstract:
A foldable display apparatus includes a display panel that is foldable, a protective film, that is foldable, disposed on one surface of the display panel, and a sub-layer disposed on the protective film. A folding portion of the display apparatus includes a thin film zone, of the protective film, that is thinner than a main body of the protective film, and a pair of bumps disposed on opposing sides of the thin film zone, each of the pair of bumps having a thickness greater than that of the main body of the protective film. When the foldable display apparatus is in a folding state, a portion of the sub-layer is provided between the pair of bumps and is pressed by the pair of bumps.
