Abstract
A flexible display panel having a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first region and the second region, the display panel including a first display portion on the first region and configured to display a first image, a second display portion on the second region and configured to display a second image, and a first drive portion on the third region and configured to drive at least one of the first display portion and the second display portion.
Claims10
A display panel comprising:
- a flexible substrate having a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first region and the second region;
- a first display portion on the first region and configured to display a first image;
- a second display portion on the second region and configured to display a second image;
- a scan drive portion on the third region and configured to independently drive the first display portion and the second display portion, the scan drive portion comprising:
- a plurality of stages;
- a plurality of first transistors respectively coupled between output terminals of the stages and a plurality of scan lines in the first display portion;
- and a plurality of second transistors respectively coupled between the output terminals of the stages and a plurality of scan lines in the second display portion;
- and a scan signal control portion configured to provide a first scan selection signal to each of the first transistors and to provide a second scan selection signal to the each of the second transistors, respectively, wherein the scan drive portion is configured to provide scan signals to the first display portion via the first transistors in response to the first scan selection signal and to the second display portion via the second transistors in response to the second scan selection signal, wherein the third region comprises a bent region, and the scan drive portion is on the bent region, and wherein the first region has a planar surface and the second region has a curved shape which is bent along a curvature.
