A foldable display device comprises a display panel; and a backplate attached to a side of the display panel and including a hard layer and first and second soft layer attached on lower and upper surfaces of the hard layer, respectively, wherein the hard layer has a difference in a distance from a reference line in a center portion and a first edge portion.

Backplate for foldable display device and foldable display device including the same

A backplate having a folding region and an unfolding region adjacent to the folding region includes: first and second material layers corresponding to the folding and unfolding regions; and a third material layer between the first and second material layers, the third material layer is more rigid than the first and second materials layers, wherein the first and second material layers extend from the folding region to the unfolding regions such that a thickness of the first and second material layers is gradually reduced from the folding region to the unfolding region.

Backplate and foldable display device including the same

A foldable display device includes a display panel including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; and an impact absorption film adjacent to the second surface of the display panel and including first and second impact absorption layers. The second impact absorption layer includes a soft part corresponding to a first region of the second impact absorption layer and a hard part corresponding to a second region of the second impact absorption layer. The first impact absorption layer and the soft part of the second impact absorption layer have an elastic modulus value less than an elastic modulus value of the hard part.

Foldable display device

A foldable display device comprises a display panel; and a backplate on a surface of the display panel, the backplate including a folding region and unfolding regions at both sides of the folding region, the backplate including at least two opening patterns in the folding region that are different from each other.

Disclosed is a foldable display device comprising: a display panel comprising a display area, and one or more foldable areas and non-foldable areas located within the display area; a cover film disposed on a front surface of the display panel; a support disposed at a back surface of the display panel; and a drive circuit to drive the display panel. One of the foldable areas may be located at a display surface near one edge area of the display panel, such that the edge area of the display panel is folded toward the back surface of the display panel, and the drive circuit is located on a flexible printed circuit board provided at the back surface of the display panel while being connected to the edge area of the display panel.
