A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel and a first outer member having a groove pattern. The groove pattern includes a flat surface and inclined portions connected to the flat surface and symmetrical with each other.

Flexible display device

A flexible display device includes a first non-bending area, a second non-bending area spaced apart from the first non-bending area, and a bending area between the first non-bending area and the second non-bending area; and a protective member on a surface of the flexible display panel, and including a first protective member overlapping the first non-bending area and a second protective member overlapping the second non-bending area, each of the first protective member and the second protective member including an inclined surface inclined with respect to the surface of the flexible display panel overlapping the flat area adjacent to the bending area, and the inclined surfaces do not physically contact each other in a bending state.

A flexible display apparatus includes a flexible substrate having a main area having an apex at which a first side and a second side meet, a first area that shares the first side with the main area, and a second area that shares the second side with the main area, wherein a first angle of the first area and a second angle of the second area that share the apex are acute angles, and a display unit arranged over the main area, the first area, and the second area of the flexible substrate.

Flexible display apparatus and method of manufacturing the same

A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel and a first outer member having a groove pattern. The first groove pattern includes: a first inclined portion having a first surface inclined to the surface of the display panel at an obtuse angle relative to the surface of the display panel; and a second inclined portion spaced apart from the first inclined portion in a second direction crossing the first direction, the second inclined portion having a second surface inclined to the surface of the display panel at an obtuse angle relative to the surface of the display panel.

A display device comprises a display panel and an optical plate. The display panel comprises a surface comprising a display area and a non-display area, the display panel further comprising a bending portion that is bent and a non-bending portion that is not bent. The display panel comprises: a base substrate, an array of pixels formed over the base substrate, and electrically conductive lines disposed over the base substrate and electrically connecting the array of pixels to an exterior device, the electrically conductive lines comprising at least one extension formed in the bending portion and overlapping the non-display area when viewed in a thickness direction of the display panel. The optical plate is disposed over the display panel, and comprises: a first optical plate portion covering the display area, and a second optical plate portion covering the at least one extension of the electrically conductive lines.

Display device

A method of manufacturing a display panel, including providing a plurality of display substrates spaced apart from each other by a predetermined area disposed therebetween when viewed in a plan view, each of the display substrates including a display area, on which an image is displayed, and each of the display substrates being flexible; attaching a first film onto the display substrates to overlap with the display substrates; attaching a second film onto the first film; and substantially and simultaneously cutting the first and second films along a cutting line defined in an area overlapping with the predetermined area.

Display panel and method of manufacturing the same

A flexible display device including a flexible display panel including a folding area and a peripheral area, and a first outer member including a groove pattern is disclosed. The groove pattern includes a flat surface and inclined portions connected to the flat surface and symmetrical with each other about the flat surface.

A flexible display apparatus having a folding area and peripheral areas at sides of the folding area, the flexible display apparatus including: a flexible display panel configured to display an image; and an outer member on one surface of the flexible display panel and including a protrusion and an opening at the peripheral areas. The flexible display panel and the outer member are configured to be folded at the folding area, and the protrusion is inserted into the opening when the outer member is folded.

Flexible display apparatus

A display apparatus includes: a flexible display panel including: a base substrate including a display area and a non-display area; a pixel at the display area of the base substrate; and signal lines at the non-display area of the base substrate; and a protective film coupled to the flexible display panel and including: a first portion under the flexible display panel; and a second portion extending from the first portion and configured to be bent to overlap with the signal lines and to overlap with the first portion, wherein the display apparatus is configured to be bent along a folding line crossing an area of the display apparatus in which the first portion and the second portion are configured to be overlapped with each other.
