Curved display module and display apparatus having the same

A curved display apparatus comprising:

• a curved display panel curved with a first curvature in a first direction;
• a first receiving member accommodating the curved display panel;
• a plurality of driving chips each mounted on a flexible circuit film of the flexible circuit films, wherein at least one driving chip of the plurality of driving chips is mounted on at least one flexible circuit film of the plurality of flexible circuit films with a tilt with respect to the first direction;
• and
• a printed circuit board connected to the plurality of flexible circuit films and curved with a second curvature in the first direction, wherein two sides parallel to each other of each of the flexible circuit films are in direct contact with the curved display panel at first and second contact points, respectively, and are in direct contact with the printed circuit board at third and fourth contact points, respectively, a distance between the first and third contact points is different from a distance between the second and fourth contact points, and a virtual line passing through a center point of each of the driving chips in a long-axis direction of each of the driving chips is substantially parallel to a tangent at a contact point at which a normal line substantially perpendicular to the virtual line at the center point meets the curved display panel.

A display module, comprising:

• a curved display panel curved along a first direction and having a relatively longer dimension and a relatively shorter dimension;
• a plurality of flexible circuit films connected to the curved display panel;
• a printed circuit board connected to the flexible circuit films;
• and
• a plurality of driving chips, wherein each of the driving chips is disposed on a flexible circuit film of the flexible circuit films,
• wherein a first driving chip of the driving chips aligned with a center of the relatively longer dimension of the curved display panel is substantially parallel with the first direction,
• wherein a second driving chip of the driving chips spaced apart from the center of the relatively longer dimension of the curved display panel is tilted with respect to the first direction, and
• wherein a third driving chip of the driving chips spaced apart from the center of the relatively longer dimension of the curved display panel by a greater distance than that of the second driving chip is tilted with respect to the first direction at a greater angle than that of the second driving chip.
