The present disclosure provides a packaging adhesive, a packaging method, a display panel, and a display device. The packaging adhesive includes a frit, an organic solvent, and a material with a thermal expansion coefficient larger than that of the frit. Using the packaging adhesive provided by the present disclosure, the thermal expansion coefficient of the packaging adhesive from which the organic solvent is removed may be enhanced by doping the material with a thermal expansion coefficient larger than that of the frit into existing glass cement, so that in a packaging process using laser radiation, an expansion volume of the packaging adhesive when heated is increased. In this way, a gap between the packaging adhesive and an array substrate is effectively reduced, and a packaging effect is improved.

Provided is a display panel including a main display area, a component area having a transmissive area, a peripheral area outside the main display area, a substrate, a bottom metal layer on the substrate, and defining an opening corresponding to the transmissive area, a valley portion adjacent to a boundary between the bottom metal layer and the transmissive area, and a thin-film encapsulation layer on the valley portion, and including an inorganic layer and an organic layer.

A display device includes a substrate, an encapsulation portion on the substrate, a seal portion between the substrate and the encapsulation portion, and at least one dummy seal portion around the seal portion. The substrate and the encapsulation portion at least partially overlap each other in a first direction perpendicular to a surface of the substrate. The dummy seal portion is, when viewed in the first direction, arranged in an area between an edge of the seal portion and a boundary line of an overlapping area of the substrate and the encapsulation portion.

Disclosed herein are sealed devices comprising a first substrate, a second substrate, an inorganic film between the first and second substrates, and at least one weld region comprising a bond between the first and second substrates. The weld region can comprise a chemical composition different from that of the inorganic film and the first or second substrates. The sealed devices may further comprise a stress region encompassing at least the weld region, in which a portion of the device is under a greater stress than the remaining portion of the device. Also disclosed herein are display and electronic components comprising such sealed devices.

An organic electroluminescence display device includes: a lower electrode that is made of a conductive inorganic material and formed in each of pixels arranged in a matrix in a display area; a light-emitting organic layer that is in contact with the lower electrode and made of a plurality of different organic material layers including a light-emitting layer emitting light; an upper electrode that is in contact with the light-emitting organic layer, formed so as to cover the whole of the display area, and made of a conductive inorganic material; and a conductive organic layer that is in contact with the upper electrode, formed so as to cover the whole of the display area, and made of a conductive organic material.

A display device includes a base layer including an active area and a peripheral area outside the active area, a circuit element layer including a pixel circuit in the active area and a driving voltage wiring located in the peripheral area to supply a driving voltage to the pixel circuit. A light emitting element layer including a plurality of light emitting elements on the circuit element layer, a thin film sealing layer to cover the light emitting element layer, and an input sensing layer on the thin film sealing layer and including a sensing electrode and a sensing signal wiring part connected to the sensing electrode. The circuit element layer includes a connection wiring part overlapping the driving voltage wiring in the peripheral area and contacts the sensing signal wiring part. The connection wiring part is at a different layer from the driving voltage wiring.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a light-emitting device where periphery deterioration can be prevented from occurring even when an organic insulating film is used as an insulating film for the light-emitting device. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a light-emitting device where reliability for a long period of time can be improved. A structure of an inorganic film, an organic film, and an inorganic film is not continuously provided from under a sealing material under a cathode for a light-emitting element. In addition, penetration of water is suppressed by defining the shape of the inorganic film that is formed over the organic film even when a structure of an inorganic film, an organic film, and an inorganic film is continuously provided under a cathode for a light-emitting element.

An electronic device may have a hinge that allows the device to be flexed about a bend axis. A display may span the bend axis. To facilitate bending about the bend axis without damage, the display may include a display cover layer with a flexible portion. The flexible portion of the display cover layer may be interposed between first and second rigid portions of the display cover layer. The display cover layer may also include a layer with self-healing properties. The layer of self-healing material may be formed across the entire display cover layer or may be formed only in the flexible region of the display cover layer. The display cover layer may include a layer of elastomer in the flexible region of the display cover layer for increased flexibility. Self-healing may be initiated or expedited by externally applied heat, light, electric current, or other type of external stimulus.

A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel. The flexible display device further includes a cover window structure on the flexible display panel, including a flexible film and a first hard coating layer on the flexible film. The first hard coating layer includes a material made of a combination of a siloxane resin and a urethane-acrylic-, acrylic- or epoxy-type linker.
