An electronic apparatus includes a display panel including a folding portion overlapping with a folding axis, a first non-folding portion and a second non-folding portion, a support unit including a first support portion arranged under the first non-folding portion and a second support portion arranged under the second non-folding portion, an impact absorbing member interposed between the display panel and the support unit and coupled to the display panel, an adhesive member coupling the impact absorbing member to the support unit, a receiving portion defined in at least one of the first support portion or the second support portion, and a protrusion connected to the impact absorbing member and received in the receiving portion. A planar area of the protrusion is less than a planar area of the receiving portion.

Electronic apparatus

A flexible display device includes a display panel including a bending area, a first non-bending area, and a second non-bending area, an outer member over a first surface of the display panel, and a stress control member between the display panel and the outer member, and including a first control area overlapping with the bending area, and a second control area and a third control area overlapping with the first non-bending area and the second non-bending area, respectively, such that the first control area is between the second control area and the third control area, and a maximum thickness of the first control area is less than a thickness of an end of the second control area and a thickness of an end of the third control area spaced apart from a bending axis in the second direction.

Flexible display device

A display device includes a display module including non-folding areas arranged with each other in a first direction and a folding area between the adjacent non-folding areas, a hinge under the display module and configured to fold the display module with respect to the folding area, a supporter between the non-folding areas and the hinge, and a guide portion connected to the supporter and configured to be inserted into a guide groove defined in the hinge. A length in the first direction of the guide groove is obtained utilizing a length of an arc of the folding area when the display module is folded.

Display device

A display device includes a display module including a plurality of non-folding portions arranged along a first direction, and a folding portion disposed between the non-folding portions; a support part facing each of the non-folding portions and the folding portion; an adhesive between the support part and each of the non-folding portions, respectively; and a sub-support part between the folding portion and the support part. Along a second direction crossing the first direction, a first width of the sub-support part is less than a second width of the display module.
