A display apparatus includes a substrate having a display area with a display device to display an image, and a non-display area around the display area. The non-display area has a bending area bent about a bending axis. An encapsulation layer is located over the display area. A touchscreen layer is located over the encapsulation layer and includes a touch electrode. A touch wire is connected to the touch electrode, and extends from an upper portion of the encapsulation layer, and at least partially into the bending area. A fan-out wire configured to apply an electric signal to the display area and is at least partially disposed in the bending area. The touch wire and the fan-out wire are on different layers from each other in the bending area.

A method for manufacturing a display device that can prevent deformation of a flexible display is provided. A raw material sheet that serves as a metal sheet of the flexible display has a width that is greater than a width of the display body in Y direction and a plurality of holes are provided in a bent area of the raw material sheet over an entire width along a bent section of the display body. The method includes: mounting the display body on the raw material sheet such that the bent section and the bent area are aligned and that the display body avoids the end portions in the Y direction; applying pressure to the display body from a central part of the display body toward a periphery of the display body; and cutting the raw material sheet into a predetermined size.

The organic light emitting diodes display further includes a display unit positioned on the inorganic layer and including a plurality of organic light emitting diodes configured to display an image, and a thin film encapsulating layer covering the display unit and joining with edges of the inorganic layer extending beyond the display unit.

Provided is a display device 100 that includes a display panel having flexibility (an organic EL panel 1 as an example), and an optical member 2 having flexibility, arranged so as to be stacked on the display panel, wherein the display panel and the optical member 2 are stacked and bonded in a bent state, and thereafter stretched into a flat shape.

A method for making an electroluminescent marking on an exterior wall of an aircraft, including a step of superpositioning of layers designed or configured to produce the electroluminescent marking on a first face of a flexible backing distinct from the aircraft to obtain a marking tape and a step of affixing the marking tape to the exterior wall of the aircraft. The disclosure herein also concerns a marking tape for the implementing of the method, a marking device obtained from the method, and an aircraft comprising the marking device.

The present disclosure proposes a flexible display and a method of forming the flexible display. The flexible display includes a flexible base, an OLED element disposing on the flexible base, an encapsulation layer disposed on the OLED element, with the flexible base and/or the encapsulation layer comprising one or more patterned inorganic layers and two or more organic layers, which are configured to wrap the inorganic layers. Therefore, when the stress focuses on the inorganic layer and leads to fractures and peeling-offs, the organic layers that wrapped the inorganic layer prevent the expansion of the fractures and peeling-offs, therefore extend the life of the flexible display being flexible and pliable.

The present invention provides a circularly polarizing plate that makes it possible to realize a bendable display device having reduced reflectivity and reflective tint and has excellent bending resistance, and a display device including a circularly polarizing plate. The circularly polarizing plate of the present invention is a circularly polarizing plate used for a bendable display device and includes a polarizer, and a phase difference film that is arranged on one side of the polarizer. The phase difference film includes a λ/2 plate and a λ/4 plate, the λ/2 plate and the λ/4 plate each include a liquid crystal compound, and a slow axis direction of the phase difference film is adjusted to define an angle of 75 to 105 degrees with respect to a bending direction of the display device.

A display device includes: an insulating substrate having flexibility and including a bent portion that is bent at 90 degrees or more outside a display area provided with an image display function; and a spacer disposed inside the bent portion and including a curved area around which the bent portion is wrapped and a plane area facing the insulating substrate, wherein the insulating substrate includes a flat portion adjacent to the bent portion and provided so as to face the plane area.

Disclosed is a display device, including: a substrate including a pixel area and a peripheral area; pixels provided in the pixel area as a plurality of pixel rows and a plurality of pixel columns; data lines configured to provide a data signal; scan lines configured to provide a scan signal; first power lines configured to provide a power source to the pixel columns; and a second power line connected to the first power lines and disposed in the peripheral area. A scan line connected to an i.sup.th pixel row may apply a scan signal to the i.sup.th pixel row, and a branched line branched from the scan line may apply an initialization signal to a k.sup.th pixel row (k≠i). A branched point of the scan line is disposed between a pixel most adjacent to the second power line of the i.sup.th pixel row and the second power line.

A display device includes a substrate including a display configured to display an image and a non-display area disposed on at least one side of the display area. A plurality of pixels is disposed in the display area. An organic insulating layer is disposed on the substrate. A pixel defining layer is disposed on the organic insulating layer. A sealing layer at least partially covers the display area and the non-display area and includes an inorganic material. The organic insulating layer and the pixel defining layer have a valley disposed therein. The valley is formed by removing portions of the organic insulating layer and the pixel defining layer along a circumference of the display area.
