  • Publication number: 20120075823
    Abstract: A display panel and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The display panel includes a plurality of chip panels, each chip panel having an upper surface, a lower surface disposed parallel to the upper surface, a side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface and a connection portion between the side surface and at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface, the connection portion having a rounded configuration, and an adhesive layer interposed between the chip panels in order to vertically stack the chip panels to connect the chip panels. Therefore, in the display panel, the strength of the edge portion can be improved. Also, by forming a connection portion, a stress can be suppressed from being concentrated at the edge portion by an external mechanical stress.
