Display apparatus

Display apparatuses and methods are provided. A display apparatus includes a display module, a driving device that is configured to deform the display module from a flat surface state to a curved surface state and deform the display module from the flat surface state to the curved surface state, and a base member that is disposed at a rear of the display module and supports the driving device.

Display apparatus having deformable display module and method of controlling the same

A display apparatus including a display module, and a drive device to deform the display module, is provided. The drive device switches the display module between a planar state and a curved state in which at least one lateral end of the display module protrudes forward.
