and a supporting leg connected to a first surface of the display panel to support the display panel, wherein the plurality of pixels comprise: a first pixel that does not overlap with the curvature part from a plan view; and a second pixel partial overlapping with the curvature part, wherein the first and second pixels are configured to display the image on a second surface of the display panel opposite to the first surface, and wherein the supporting leg comprises: a first supporting stick rotatably connected to the display panel and extending away from the display panel; and a second supporting stick extending from the first supporting stick away from display panel, the second supporting stick being rotatably connected to the first supporting stick. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein one end portion of the supporting leg is rotatably connected to the display panel. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The display device of claim 2, wherein an other end portion of the supporting leg is formed in a spherical shape. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein the supporting leg is configured to have an adjustable length. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein the display panel further comprises a mounting groove that allows the supporting leg to be mounted on the first surface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The display device of claim 5, wherein, from the plan view, a circumference of the display panel has a straight line and a curve having a first curvature, and wherein the mounting groove has a shape corresponding to the curve and has a second curvature. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The display device of claim 6, wherein the supporting leg has a shape corresponding to the mounting groove and is configured to be mounted in the mounting groove. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The display device of claim 7, wherein the supporting leg comprises: a first supporting part extending along a first direction; a second supporting part extending along a second direction crossing the first direction; and a curved surface part connecting the first supporting part and the second supporting part to each other. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The display device of claim 8, wherein, when the first supporting part is rotated in the mounting groove, the second supporting part is detached from the mounting groove, and wherein, when the second supporting part is rotated in the mounting groove, the first supporting part is detached from the mounting groove. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The display device of claim 6, wherein the first curvature and the second curvature are equal to each other. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The display device of claim 6, wherein the first curvature and the second curvature are different from each other. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, further comprising: a first touch sensor on the second surface; and a second touch sensor on a side surface of the display panel, the side surface connecting a circumference of the first surface and a circumference of the second surface to each other. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The display device of claim 12, wherein the side surface of the display panel comprises a plurality of touch areas defined by the second touch sensor, wherein the second touch sensor is configured to allow the touch areas to be all activated, or to allow some of the touch areas to be activated and others of the touch areas to be non-activated. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The display device of claim 13, wherein the second touch sensor is configured to allow the touch areas to be activated or non-activated corresponding to an angle formed between the first surface of the display panel and the ground. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein the supporting leg supports the display panel such that the second surface of the display panel extends in a direction crossing the ground. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein the supporting leg supports the display panel such that the second surface of the display panel extends in a direction normal to the ground.
