An electronic device includes a window, a display module, a pressure sensor, and a bracket. The window includes a flat area and a curved area. The display module is disposed on a lower surface of the window to overlap with the flat area and the curved area. The pressure sensor is disposed on a lower surface of the display module to overlap with the curved area. The bracket is disposed on the lower surface of the display module and coupled to at least one of the window and the display module. The pressure sensor is disposed between the window and the bracket. The lower surface of the window and the lower surface of the display module face the same direction.

An electronic device includes a window, a display module, a pressure sensor, and a bracket. The window includes a flat area and a curved area. The display module is disposed on a lower surface of the window to overlap with the flat area and the curved area. The pressure sensor is disposed on a lower surface of the display module to overlap with the flat area and the curved area. The bracket is disposed on the lower surface of the display module and coupled to at least one of the window and the display module. The pressure sensor is spaced apart from an upper surface of the bracket. The lower surface of the window and the lower surface of the display module face the same direction.

A display device includes a pressure sensing element. The pressure sensing element senses a pressure input applied thereto from the outside, and the display device is controlled based on the sensed pressure input. The pressure sensing element includes a contact sensing area to sense the pressure input and a defect sensing area to sense a defect. The pressure sensing element measures a resistance value in the defect sensing area and identifies whether at least one of lines of the pressure sensing element is disconnected.

A display apparatus includes a backlight part including a backlight unit and a panel part including a display panel. The panel part is operated in a first state in which the display panel is substantially aligned with the backlight part or in a second state in which the display panel is not substantially aligned with the backlight part. The display panel receives the light from the backlight unit in the first state and receives an external light in the second state.
