1. A display device comprising:
a substrate;
a semiconductor layer on the substrate;
a first interlayer insulating layer on the semiconductor layer;
a second interlayer insulating layer on the first interlayer insulating layer;
a source electrode or a drain electrode on the second interlayer insulating layer, and connected to the semiconductor layer;
an organic light-emitting diode connected to the source electrode or the drain electrode; and
a thin film encapsulation layer on the organic light-emitting diode,
wherein, a neutral plane is inside or below the first interlayer insulating layer or the second interlayer insulating layer, such that a compressive force on one side of the neutral plane corresponding to an impact applied to the thin film encapsulation layer causes a tensile force on another side of the neutral plane.
