A display device includes: a display panel which displays an image; and a frame set disposed on a rear side of the display panel, where the frame set bends the display panel. The frame set includes a frame including a body extending in a longitudinal direction and a head protruding toward the rear side of the display panel from the body, and a wire fixed to the head and extending in a longitudinal direction of the frame.

Display device and control method of display device

A display panel including a corner includes: a substrate including a display area including a front display area, and a peripheral area outside the display area; an insulating layer on the substrate in the display area and the peripheral area, where an outer groove or an outer through hole is defined in the insulating layer in the peripheral area; an upper inorganic pattern layer on the insulating layer, where the upper inorganic pattern layer includes a protruding tip protruding toward a center of the outer groove or a center of the outer through hole; and a front display element on the insulating layer and overlapping the front display area. The upper inorganic pattern layer is apart from the front display element.

Display panel, display device, and method of manufacturing the display device

A display apparatus is disclosed that includes a display panel and a controller. The display panel includes a first edge extending in a first direction, a second edge extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a display area where an image is displayed. The controller is configured to obtain information to bend the display panel and, in response, to bend the display panel to a bent display panel. In the bent display panel, the first edge has a first display-panel curvature and the second edge has a second display-panel curvature.
