Abstract

In an aspect, a display device including: an entire window, said entire window including a display area and a non-display area outside the display area; a display panel; a first adhesive layer disposed on the display panel; a touch screen panel disposed on the first adhesive layer; a first light blocking member disposed on the touch screen panel; a second adhesive layer disposed on the touch screen panel and the first light blocking member; and a protection window disposed on the second adhesive layer is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
an entire window, said entire window including a display area and a non-display area outside the display area;
a display panel including a plurality of display elements and displaying an image by using the plurality of display elements;
a first adhesive layer disposed on the display panel, a first area of the first adhesive layer disposed on top of the display panel that is equal to an area of the display panel and a second area of the first adhesive layer positioned on top of the first area of the first adhesive layer that is equal to the display area;
a touch screen panel disposed on the first adhesive layer;
a first light blocking member disposed on the touch screen panel;
a first coating layer disposed on the touch screen panel and the first light blocking member;
a second coating layer only disposed at the non-display area on the first coating layer;
a second adhesive layer disposed on the first coating layer of the first light blocking member; and
a protection window disposed on the second adhesive layer,
wherein the, touch screen panel is formed at the entire window,
wherein the first area of the first adhesive layer is smaller than an area of the touch screen panel,
wherein a color pattern for a design of the non-display area is formed at a portion corresponding to the non-display area in the first coating layer, and
wherein the second coating layer is disposed on the color pattern for improving reflectance of the color pattern.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first light blocking member is disposed at the non-display area.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first light blocking member is formed of a black pattern.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first light blocking member is formed of a color pattern for a design of the non-display area.

5. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the non-display area includes:
a first portion in which a speaker and a camera lens are disposed; and
a second portion in which a microphone and a function key are disposed.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a second light blocking member disposed at the non-display area under the touch screen panel.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the second light blocking member is disposed on top of at least a portion of the first adhesive layer.

8. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a second light blocking member disposed at the non-display area under the touch screen panel.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of elements are display elements selected from the group consisting of an organic light emitting display, a liquid crystal display, a field emission display, and a plasma display.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the touch screen panel includes:
a transparent substrate;
a plurality of driving electrodes disposed on the transparent substrate;
an insulating layer disposed on the plurality of driving electrodes; and
a sensing electrode disposed on the insulating layer.

11. A display device comprising:
an entire window, said entire window including a display area and a non-display area outside the display area;
a display panel including a plurality of display elements and displaying an image by using the plurality of display elements;
a first adhesive layer disposed on the display panel, a first area of the first adhesive layer disposed on top of the display panel that is equal to an area of the display panel and a second area of the first adhesive layer positioned on top of the first area of the first adhesive layer that is equal to the display area;
a touch screen panel disposed on the first adhesive layer and formed at the entire window where a function key is disposed in the non-display area;
a first coating layer disposed on the touch screen panel;
a second coating layer only disposed at the non-display area on the first coating layer,
wherein the function key is operated by the touch screen panel, and
wherein the first area of the first adhesive layer is smaller than an area of the touch screen panel,
wherein a color pattern for the design of the non-display area is formed at a portion corresponding to the non-display area in the first coating layer, and
wherein the second coating layer is disposed on the color pattern for improving reflectance of the color pattern.

12. The display device of claim 11 , further comprising a first light blocking member disposed at the non-display area.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first light blocking member is formed of one of a black pattern and a color pattern for a design.

14. The display device of claim 12 , further comprising a second light blocking member disposed at the non-display area under the touch screen panel and on top of at least a portion of the first adhesive layer, wherein the first light blocking member is disposed on the touch screen panel.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the second light blocking member is disposed on top of at least a portion of the first adhesive layer.
