Examples are disclosed relating to foldable display devices and methods for folding a display device through a range of degrees at a folding portion. In one example, a display device comprises a rear cover and a cover glass layer extending from a left side of the display device through the folding portion to a right side. A light-emitting layer is between the rear cover and the cover glass layer. A backplate is between the rear cover and the light-emitting layer, with the backplate comprising backplate slots that extend from an upper surface through a lower surface to facilitate bending of the backplate.

The disclosure herein describes a display panel that includes a display area and a non-display area. The example display panel includes a flexible substrate, a touch metal layer, and a metal layer between the flexible substrate and the touch metal layer. Each of the display area and the non-display area include the flexible substrate, the touch metal layer, and the metal layer. The metal layer includes signal lines for transmitting signals between the display area and the non-display area. The non-display area includes a bending area with the touch metal layer being disposed on the metal layer in the non-display area to shield noise from signals transmitted through the signal lines in the bending area from the antenna. The display area includes light emitting diodes and a thin film encapsulation layer disposed between the touch metal layer and the metal layer.

A display with a curved portion is provided. The display includes a capacitive sensor mesh layer including a plurality of cells, wherein at least a cell of the plurality of cells includes at least one cell face that has a discontinuity in the cell face based at least in part on a position of the cell on the curved portion.
