Display device and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A display device and a method of manufacturing the display device are provided. The display device includes a digitizer which is formed so that at least a part thereof is bent and a display panel which is installed along a shape of an outer surface of the digitizer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display device comprising:
 a digitizer formed with at least a part thereof bent; and   a display panel installed to correspond to a shape of the digitizer.   
     
     
         2 . The display device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an adhesive layer disposed between the digitizer and the display panel to adhere the digitizer and the display panel to each other.   
     
     
         3 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the digitizer comprises:
 a first digitizer on which first lines are formed; and   a second digitizer on which second lines are formed, wherein the second lines intersect with the first lines at a predetermined angle.   
     
     
         4 . The display device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding layer bent and adhered to the digitizer.   
     
     
         5 . The display device of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a flexible printed circuit (FPC) bent and adhered to the EMI shielding layer.   
     
     
         6 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the digitizer is plastically deformed when bent. 
     
     
         7 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the display panel is flexible. 
     
     
         8 . A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:
 manufacturing and providing a display panel and a digitizer; and   bending at least a part of the digitizer through a jig.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 adhering the display panel onto an outer surface of the digitizer to keep a bent state of the display panel.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein before the at least a part of the digitizer is bent through the jig, the display panel is adhered to the digitizer, and then the at least a part of the digitizer and at least a part of the display panel are simultaneously bent through the jig. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 adhering the display panel and the digitizer to each other through an adhesive layer.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 adhering the display panel and the digitizer to each other through an adhesive layer.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 adhering an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding layer to the digitizer before the at least a part of the digitizer is bent through the jig.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising:
 adhering a flexible printed circuit (FPC) to the EMI shielding layer. 
 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the display panel is flexible. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the digitizer comprises:
 a first digitizer on which first lines are formed; and   a second digitizer on which second lines are formed, wherein the second lines are formed to intersect with the first lines.
