DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING DISPLAY DEVICE USING A MASK

摘要

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a display device having a display area and a non-display area, the method including aligning a mask over a substrate, the mask including a central shield portion, a peripheral shield portion outside the central shield portion, with an opening between the central shield portion and the peripheral shield portion, a holding portion in the opening that connects the central shield portion with the peripheral shield portion, and a diffusion area under the holding portion defined by a thickness difference of the mask between the holding portion and one of the central and peripheral shield portions; depositing a conductive material on the substrate through the mask to form a single pieced, loop-shaped conductive path surrounding the display area in the non-display area; and forming a transparent conductive layer on the substrate, the transparent conductive layer being continuously formed in the display and non-display areas and formed to be in direct contact with the single pieced, loop-shaped conductive path.

主权项

1. A display device comprising:
a substrate having a display area and a non-display area outside the display area; a single-pieced, loop-shaped conductive path surrounding the display area in the non-display area on the substrate; and a transparent conductive layer continuously disposed in the display and non-display areas and being in direct contact with the single-pieced, loop-shaped conductive path, wherein the single-pieced, loop-shaped conductive path includes a first portion and a second portion that are made of a same conductive material, wherein the single-pieced, loop-shaped conductive path in the second portion has a plurality of depressions of the conductive material in a thickness direction, and wherein a thickness of the conductive material between the plurality of depressions is substantially equal to that of the first portion.
