A display device including a folding region and a rigid region, the display device comprising:
- a foldable display panel module to fold in the folding region;
- a folding sensor to sense a folding state of the foldable display panel module;
- a support on the foldable display panel module in the rigid region;
- a vibrator on the foldable display panel module in the folding region;
- and
- a vibration controller to control a vibration operation of the vibrator based on the folding state.
A display device including a first folding region, a second folding region, and a rigid region, the display device comprising:
- a foldable display panel module to fold in the first folding region and the second folding region;
- a folding sensor to sense a first folding state of the first folding region and a second folding state of the second folding region;
- a support on the foldable display panel module in the rigid region;
- first and second vibrators on the foldable display panel module in the first and second folding regions, respectively;
- and
