Claim 16:
17. A method for manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:
preparing a display panel including a display area and a non-display area, the display panel including a base layer, a light emitting element layer disposed on the base layer and including a light emitting element, and an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting element; and
forming an input detection unit disposed on the display panel, the input detection unit including a detection pad, a detection electrode, and a signal line, wherein the detection pad is disposed in a pad area overlapping the non-display area, wherein the detection electrode overlaps the display area, and the signal line connect the detection pad and the detection electrode to each other,
wherein the display panel comprises:
a first side extending in a first direction; and
a second side extending in a second direction crossing the first direction,
wherein the detection pad is formed adjacent to the first side,
wherein the forming of the encapsulation layer comprises:
applying an organic material;
performing a delay operation of maintaining the applied organic material for a predetermined delay time; and
curing the organic material after the predetermined delay time,
wherein, in a first part of the display panel and the input detection unit adjacent to the first side, the organic material is maintained for a first delay time in the delay operation,
wherein, in a second part of the display panel and the input detection unit adjacent to the second side, the organic material is maintained for a second delay time in the delay operation,
wherein the first delay time is longer than the second delay time.
