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

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

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.

A foldable display device includes a display panel configured to be folded around a folding axis. The display panel includes spacers disposed in a non-folding area and a folding area, and the spacers may have different sizes or densities. Dimensions of the spacers may be in a direction of the folding axis or intersect the direction of the folding axis. The display panel also includes pixels in an active area that overlap with the spacers, which may help reduce peeling, cracking, defects, or reduction in pixel brightness due to folding of the display device.
