Claim 6:
7. A method for manufacturing a display device, the display device including a terminal section and a bend both disposed in a frame region located around a display region, the terminal section being provided for connection with an external circuit, the bend being bent, between the display region and the terminal section, around an axis extending in a first direction, the display region being provided for image display, the method comprising the steps of:
forming an inorganic insulating film onto a resin substrate having flexibility; and
forming a first wire onto the inorganic insulating film,
the step of forming the inorganic insulating film including
forming, at the bend, a slit extending in the first direction,

the method further comprising
a step of forming a filler layer in such a manner that the filler layer fills the slit and covers both of edges in a width direction of the slit, by applying a photosensitive resin to form a resin layer, followed by patterning the resin layer through light exposure with a graytone mask, the step of forming the filler layer being performed after the step of forming the inorganic insulating film and before the step of forming the first wire, the filler layer having a protrusion overlapping each of the edges in the width direction of the slit,
the step of forming the first wire including
forming a plurality of routed wires extending, in a second direction, over the protrusion from the display region and routed over the filler layer to reach the terminal section, the second direction intersecting with the first direction.
