A display device includes a display panel that can be switched to a plane state or a bent state, and the curvature of the display panel can be easily controlled. The display device includes a display panel configured to display an image and a bend control unit located in the rear of the display panel. The bend control unit bends the display panel toward the front of the display panel by pressurizing two regions on the display panel located on different sides based on the center of the display panel.
