Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a display panel having a structure in which the left and right lateral side bezel areas are bent downward to reduce the width of bezel area visible to a user. The display device includes a transparent cover plate and a flexible display layer secured to the transparent cover plate. The transparent cover includes a flat portion. The flexible display layer includes a display area and a non-display area. The display area includes an upper flat area extending along a first plane below the flat portion of the transparent cover plate. The non-display area extends from at least an edge of the display area and at least part of the non-display area extends along a second plane for connection to receive a signal for displaying an image on the flexible display layer. A signal line between a signal source and the non-display area transmit the signal from the signal source to the non-display area.
