An electronic device includes a display panel having a folding region, which is foldable with respect to a folding axis extending in one direction, and a first non-folding region and a second non-folding region spaced apart from each other with the folding region therebetween, and a lower member disposed below the display panel. The lower member includes a support layer disposed below the display panel, where the support layer includes a first support portion overlapping the first non-folding region, and a second support portion overlapping the second non-folding region, and a digitizer disposed below the display panel and corresponds to the first support portion and the second support portion. The first support portion and the second support portion each independently include a reinforcement fiber, where the reinforcement fiber includes an aramid fiber or includes a carbon fiber and a glass fiber.

Foldable electronic device including support layer including reinforcement fiber

A foldable display device includes a display module including a first non-folding portion, a second non-folding portion, and a first folding portion between the first non-folding portion and the second non-folding portion, a first support member on a lower surface of the display module, the first support member including a first support portion supporting the first non-folding portion, a second support portion supporting the second non-folding portion, and a first opening pattern overlapping the first folding portion, and including a glass material, and a second support member under the first support member and supporting the display module.

Foldable display device including rigid support member

A display device includes: a display module; a plate positioned on a rear surface of the display module; and a digitizer positioned on a rear surface of the plate. The plate includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer each including carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and a fiber area weight (FAW) of the second layer is 100 g/mto 150 g/m.

Display device

An electronic apparatus includes a display panel including a folding area foldable with respect to a folding axis and a non-folding area which is adjacent to the folding area, a support plate facing the display panel, and a digitizer which faces the display panel with the support plate therebetween and detects a first external input. The digitizer includes a plate including a reinforcing fiber, a first conductive layer on a first surface of the plate, and a second conductive layer on a second surface of the plate which is opposite to the first surface of the plate.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic device includes a display module, and a support plate disposed under the display module and comprising reinforced fibers having long axes arranged in parallel to a direction. The electronic device is divided into a folding area foldable with respect to a folding axis extending in the direction, and a non-folding area adjacent to the folding area.

Electronic device

A display device includes a base layer, a circuit layer, a light emitting element layer, and a thin film encapsulation layer. The base layer includes a display area and a non-display area. The circuit layer includes a plurality of insulating layers, at least one of which has an opening. The light emitting element layer includes a light emitting area overlapping the display area, a valley area overlapping the opening and having a concave shape, and a peak area overlapping the non-display area and being on the circuit layer. The thin film encapsulation layer includes an organic encapsulation layer that covers the light emitting area, the valley area, and at least a portion of the peak area.

A curved display device is disclosed. In one aspect, the display device includes a substrate comprising a flat portion and at least one curved portion, a display unit comprising a first display area on the flat portion, and a second display area on the curved portion, and a thin-film encapsulating layer sealing the display unit, and comprising at least one organic layer and at least one inorganic layer. The display device also includes a functional layer over the thin-film encapsulating layer, wherein the thin-film encapsulating layer comprises a first region overlapping the curved portion, and a second region overlapping the flat portion. The inorganic layer contacts the functional layer, and wherein the inorganic layer has a first surface roughness in the first region different from a second surface roughness in the second region.

Curved display device

A method of manufacturing a flexible display apparatus and a flexible display apparatus, the method including preparing a flexible substrate such that the flexible substrate includes a display area and a peripheral area at an outer portion of the display area; forming an inorganic layer portion on the display area and the peripheral area of the flexible substrate; forming a plurality of organic light emitting devices on the display area of the flexible substrate; detecting a crack of the inorganic layer portion formed on the peripheral area of the flexible substrate; and forming a crack guide hole around the crack.
