Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a substrate including a display area and a non-display area; a light-emitting array layer; an encapsulation structure; pads disposed in a pad area which is a part of the non-display area on the substrate; a dam structure disposed in the non-display area on the substrate and surrounding an edge of the display area; an encapsulation auxiliary structure corresponding to another part of the non-display area except the pad area, surrounding a part of an edge of the display area, and disposed between the dam structure and an edge of the substrate; and a first multilayer disposed between the substrate and each of the dam structure and the encapsulation auxiliary structure, and including an undercut structure by two or more different metal materials which are stacked.
