Abstract: A display device includes a first conductive pattern layer connected to a signal line, a second conductive pattern layer connected to the first conductive pattern layer, and an insulation pattern layer disposed between the signal line and the second conductive pattern layer and overlapping the second conductive pattern layer. The second conductive pattern layer exposes a portion of an upper surface and a side surface of the insulation pattern layer. The second conductive pattern layer includes first and second edge portions disposed on the upper surface of the insulation pattern layer and facing each other in a second direction intersecting a first direction. A distance between the first and second edge portions decreases as moving along the first direction in a first region of the upper surface of the insulation pattern layer, and increases as moving along the first direction in a second region of the upper surface.

Abstract: A mobile terminal includes an optical modulation projector. The mobile terminal also includes a control system, a projection control unit, and an optical modulation system. The control system outputs a projection control signal and image data. The projection control unit receives the image data from the control system, and generates and outputs a drive control signal depending on the image data received. The optical modulation system generates and modulates light and generates an image in response to the drive control signal and then scans the image for projecting onto a screen.
