Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display panel and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The display panel may include first and second regions connected to each other. When viewed in a plan view, the first and second regions may have a curved edge and a rectilinear edge, respectively. When viewed in a sectional view, a side surface of the first region may include a center region having a rectilinear shape and a side surface of the second region may include a center region having a curved shape. In some embodiments, the side surface of the first region has a first roughness, and a side surface of the second region has a second roughness that is smoother than the first roughness.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A display panel, comprising: a sealing region comprising a display substrate, an encapsulation substrate facing the display substrate, and a sealing element coupling the display substrate to the encapsulation substrate; and a pad region comprising a driving device disposed on the display substrate, wherein the sealing region of the display panel comprising: a first region, which has a curved edge, when viewed in a plan view; and a second region, which has a rectilinear edge, when viewed in a plan view, and is continuous from the first region, wherein a side surface of the first region has a first roughness, and a side surface of the second region has a second roughness that is smoother than the first roughness, and wherein one side of the display panel in the pad region comprises a first edge of the sealing element, a second edge of the encapsulation substrate disposed on an outer side than the first edge of the sealing element, and a third edge of the display substrate disposed on an outer side than the second edge of the encapsulation substrate. 2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein, when viewed in a sectional view, the side surface of the first region comprises a center region having a rectilinear line, and when viewed in a sectional view, the side surface of the second region comprises a center region having a curved line.
