A flexible display device includes: a display panel including a folding area and a non-folding area; and a back plate which includes a base layer which supports the display panel, below the display panel and includes a plurality of grooves on a bottom surface corresponding to the folding area and a filler which is filled in at least a part of the plurality of grooves, and the filler includes a metal fiber. According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, components such as a plate top, a plate bottom, and a damping layer are not included, but a mechanical property such as impact resistance is satisfied and the thickness of the display device is minimized so that the folding characteristic and the reliability are significantly improved. Therefore, a flexible display device having a larger curvature than that of the related art may be easily implemented.

Flexible display device

The present disclosure relates to a flexible display device, and more particularly a flexible display device includes a display panel, a back plate disposed below the display panel; and a plate bottom disposed below the back plate, and the back plate includes a base member and a hard coating layer disposed on at least one surface of the base member. The present disclosure provides a flexible display device which minimizes dent or puncture failures and reduces a rigidity difference between the folding area and the non-folding area without including a plate top or an impact absorption layer to have excellent durability.

Provided is a display device. The display device includes a display panel; a support substrate supporting the display panel below the display panel and including a plurality of opening patterns; and an adhesive layer which is disposed on the support substrate and includes a plurality of first areas provided so as to correspond to each of the plurality of opening patterns and a second area enclosing the plurality of first areas and having a Young's modulus lower than that of the plurality of first areas. Each of the first area is larger than the corresponding opening pattern.

Display device

A foldable display apparatus includes a display panel having a light-emitting element disposed thereon, a cover window disposed on top of the display panel, a bottom plate disposed beneath the display panel, a bellows for supporting at least a portion of the bottom plate, a first support coupled with one end of the bellows, and an edge coupled with the other end of the bellows.

Foldable display apparatus

An apparatus includes a display member configured to display an image, a front member at a front surface of the display member, a vibration apparatus at a rear surface of the display member, and an adhesive member between the display member and the front member, the adhesive member including a piezoelectric material.

Apparatus

A sound apparatus includes a first vibration member, a second vibration member adjacent to the first vibration member, a third vibration member adjacent to the second vibration member, a first vibration apparatus configured to vibrate the first vibration member and the second vibration member and output a sound of a first pitched sound band and a sound of a second pitched sound band which differ, and a second vibration apparatus disposed at a rear surface of the third vibration member and configured to vibrate the third vibration member and output a sound of a third pitched sound band which differs from the sound of the first pitched sound band.

Sound apparatus and apparatus including the same

A foldable display device includes a display panel including a folding area and a non-folding area, and a support substrate disposed under the display panel, the support substrate includes a first metal sheet including a plurality of wavy curved portions and a first planarization layer disposed on the first metal sheet, and the support substrate includes a second metal sheet disposed on the first planarization layer and having a planar surface shape and a second planarization layer disposed under the first metal sheet, therefore, since the support substrate integrated into a single layer is disposed under the display panel, folding properties of the display device may be improved, and an overall thickness of the display device may be decreased and a transfer of a pattern boundary or a folding area boundary can be minimized.

Foldable display device

A foldable display device includes a display panel which includes a folding area and non-folding areas on some sides of the folding area, and a hinge unit which is disposed in an area corresponding to the folding area below the display panel to in-fold or out-fold the display panel. The hinge unit includes a plurality of rotary shafts and a plurality of coupling links disposed between the plurality of rotary shafts. Accordingly, the foldable display device can be bi-directionally (e.g., inwardly or outwardly) folded by the hinge unit with a simple structure. Further, a radius of curvature during the folding can be desirably changed by adjusting a component of the hinge unit, for example, a number of the plurality of rotary shafts and the plurality of coupling links, a cross-sectional length, and the like.
