  • Patent number: 11545478
    Abstract: Provided is a display device capable of preventing or reducing short-circuiting in an alternating high and low temperature environment. The display device is configured to display an image in a display region and includes: an insulating substrate; conductive lines provided on the insulating substrate and extending from the display region to a frame region exterior to the display region; a driver provided in the frame region and connected to the conductive lines; an organic protective film overlapping the conductive lines and extending from the display region to a region between the display region and the driver; an anisotropic conductive film provided under the driver and covering an end of the organic protective film between the display region and the driver; and a moisture-proof resin film overlapping the anisotropic conductive film and covering the end of the organic protective film between the display region and the driver.

  • Patent number: 11366367
    Abstract: A display device includes: a first substrate having a display area and a frame area; a second substrate facing the display area; a conductive layer disposed on the second substrate; electrode portions disposed in the frame area; joints corresponding one-to-one to the electrode portions; and a wire connecting the electrode portions together in series. Each of the electrode portions includes a first electrode and a second electrode. Each of the joints includes a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion, the first conductive portion electrically connecting together the conductive layer and the first electrode, the second conductive portion electrically connecting together the conductive layer and the second electrode. Between two of the electrode portions adjacent to each other, the wire connects together the first electrode of one of the two electrode portions and the second electrode of another of the two electrode portions.
