  • Publication number: 20240090266
    Abstract: Disclosed is a display device that is capable of being driven with low power consumption. A first thin-film transistor including a polycrystalline semiconductor layer and a second thin-film transistor including an oxide semiconductor layer are disposed in an active area, thereby reducing power consumption. At least one opening formed in a bending area is formed to have the same depth as any one of contact holes formed in the active area, thereby making it possible to form the opening and the contact holes through the same process and consequently simplifying the process of manufacturing the device. A second source electrode of the second thin-film transistor and a second gate electrode of the second thin-film transistor overlap each other with an upper interlayer insulation film interposed therebetween so as to form a first storage capacitor.
