Abstract
A display apparatus can include a flexible display panel including at least one bending area; a first mid-frame disposed on a rear surface of the flexible display panel at a central area of the flexible display panel based on the at least one bending area; a second mid-frame disposed on the rear surface of the flexible display panel at an edge area of the flexible display panel based on the at least one bending area, the second mid-frame being spaced apart from the first mid-frame; and a bending guide configured to maintain a bent angle between the first mid-frame and the second mid-frame.
Claims20
A display apparatus comprising:
- a flexible display panel including at least one bending area;
- a first mid-frame disposed on a rear surface of the flexible display panel at a central area of the flexible display panel based on the at least one bending area;
- a second mid-frame disposed on the rear surface of the flexible display panel at an edge area of the flexible display panel based on the at least one bending area, the second mid-frame being spaced apart from the first mid-frame;
- and
- a bending guide configured to maintain a bent angle between the first mid-frame and the second mid-frame.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a flexible display panel including at least one bending area;
- a first mid-frame disposed on a rear surface of the flexible display panel at a central area of the flexible display panel based on the at least one bending area;
- a second mid-frame disposed on the rear surface of the flexible display panel at an edge area of the flexible display panel based on the at least one bending area, the second mid-frame being spaced apart from the first mid-frame;
- and
- a cover window disposed on an upper surface of the flexible display panel, the cover window in a partially hardened state by primary hardening being coupled to the upper surface of the flexible display panel, before bending of the at least one bending area of the flexible display panel.
A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, the method comprising:
- performing a primary hardening treatment on a cover window to place the cover window in a partially hardened state;
- disposing the cover window on a flexible display panel, the flexible display panel having a bending area;
- disposing the flexible display panel and the cover window on a first mid-frame and a second mid-frame while the first and second mid-frames are spaced apart from each other and the cover window is in the partially hardened state;
- attaching the first and second mid-frames to a bending guide having a bent angle via at least one adhesive member by bending the cover window around the bent angle while in the partially hardened state;
- and
- performing a secondary hardening treatment on the cover window to place the cover window in a hardened state, after completion of the bending the cover window around the bent angle.
