An electronic device includes a display module and a support plate disposed below the display module and in which an opening pattern is formed that corresponds to a foldable area. The support plate includes a top surface adjacent to the display module and a bottom surface that faces the top surface, and the opening pattern includes an opening that passes through the support plate from the top surface to the bottom surface and a plurality of support parts around the opening. In addition, in a cross-section, the support parts include at least one first support part that includes a first curved edge at one side of the top surface and a second curved edge at one side of the bottom surface that faces the first curved edge in a diagonal direction.

Electronic device including support plate, and method for manufacturing the support plate

A display device includes a display module including: a folding area, and first and second non-folding areas; a first support member bendable together with the display module and including: a bending area corresponding to the folding area, and first and second non-bending areas corresponding to the first and second non-folding areas; and a support layer facing the display module with the first support member therebetween, and including: a second support member in the bending area and the first and second non-bending areas; a first support plate facing the first support member with the second support member therebetween and in the bending area and the first non-bending area; and a second support plate facing the first support member with the second support member therebetween and in the bending area and the second non-bending area. The second support plate is disconnected from the first support plate at the bending area.

Display device

Disclosed is a release film including a first release film on a supporter in which a first hole is defined, and a second release film below the supporter, wherein, when viewed in a plan view, a first cut region is defined by a first part of the second release film, the first part overlapping the first hole.

Release film

A display device includes a window, a display module on a rear surface of the window, and including a folding area, and a non-folding area adjacent to the folding area, and a protective cover on a rear surface of the display module, and including a cover portion configured to cover the folding area and the non-folding area of the display module, and holding portions extending in a first direction, or in a second direction crossing the first direction, from the cover portion, and protruding outside the display module when viewed in a plane.

A display device includes: a display panel in which a first panel region, a bending region, and a second panel region are arranged along a first direction; a support layer below the first panel region of the display panel, wherein the bending region of the display panel is bent toward a lower portion of the support layer; a portion of the support layer is between the first panel region and the second panel region; a first alignment mark in the first panel region; and a first alignment opening overlapping the first alignment mark in the support layer, wherein in a thickness direction of the display panel, the first alignment opening is spaced apart from the second panel region, the first alignment opening is spaced apart from an edge of the support layer, and the first alignment opening is completely surrounded by the support layer.

An electronic device includes a display panel including a first panel area, a bending area, and a second panel area, a support layer disposed under the first panel area of the display panel, a set bracket disposed under the support layer, a first waterproofing tape disposed between the support layer and the set bracket, the first waterproofing tape being attached to the set bracket, and a second waterproofing tape attached to the set bracket. The bending area may be bendable, the second panel area may be disposed under the first panel area, the first waterproofing tape may be spaced from the second panel area in a thickness direction of the display panel, and the second waterproofing tape may overlap the second panel area.

A display device may include a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region. The display device may include a display member including a display module, a supporting member supporting the display member, an adhesion member disposed between the display member and the supporting member, and a compensation member attached to one of top and bottom surfaces of the adhesion member and overlapped with the folding region. Thus, it may be possible to provide a display device configured to reduce a stress, which is exerted on a folding region when it is in a folded state, and to prevent the folding region from being deformed to a bent shape when it is in an unfolded state.

An electronic apparatus includes a display panel including a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface. A lower panel includes a plurality of sheets stacked on the rear surface of the display panel and an opening penetrating the sheets. The opening exposes a portion of a rear surface of a first sheet that has a front surface opposite to the exposed portion of the rear surface that contacts the display panel. A fingerprint sensing unit includes a fingerprint sensor positioned in the opening and a sensing circuit board connected to the fingerprint sensor. The exposed portion of the rear surface of the first sheet contacts a portion of the sensing circuit board.

Electronic apparatus

The display device includes a display module which displays an image at a front surface of the display module and includes a rear surface, a folding area and a non-folding area extended from the folding area; and a supporter facing the rear surface of the display module and including a first portion corresponding to the non-folding area, a second portion corresponding to the folding area, and a boundary between the first portion and the second portion. The display module which is unfolded disposes the supporter bent at the boundary, and the supporter which is bent includes the first portion and the second portion together forming a curvature of the supporter having a center of curvature at the front surface of the display module.

A display apparatus including a display panel, a buffer, and a curved buffer. The display panel includes a curved portion connected to a flat portion. The buffer overlaps the flat portion and having a first thickness. The curved buffer is on a same layer as the buffer and overlaps the curved portion, the curved buffer having a second thickness greater than the first thickness.

Curved display apparatus with buffer

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a panel adhesive film on the display panel, a main printed circuit board, and a flexible printed circuit board. The main printed circuit board is adhered to the panel adhesive film in an assembled state. The flexible printed circuit board electrically connects the display panel to the main printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board includes a base film, an integrated circuit chip, and a FPCB adhesive film.
