Abstract
Damage to a flexible display can be prevented. A display device having improved mechanical strength can be provided. A display device () includes a display panel () and a protection cover (). The display panel () includes a first portion having flexibility. The protection cover () has a light-transmitting property and flexibility and is provided to overlap with a display surface side of the display panel (). The display device () has a function of being reversibly changed in shape to a first mode in which the display panel () and the protection cover () are each substantially flat and a second mode in which the first portion of the display panel () is curved such that the display surface side becomes a concave surface and part of the protection cover () is curved in the same direction as the first portion. In the second mode, there is a gap between the first portion and the protection cover.
