Display device

A display device comprising:

• a panel support portion comprising a first support portion, a second support portion, and a third support portion;
• a first hinge portion connecting the first support portion and the second support portion;
• a second hinge portion connecting the second support portion and the third support portion;
• a flexible display panel disposed on the panel support portion;
• and
• a hinge controller controlling each of the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion to be rotatable or unrotatable based on a first angle between the second support portion and the first support portion and a second angle between the second support portion and the third support portion,
• wherein the first hinge portion comprises:
• a first coupling portion connected to a first connection portion of the first support portion and a first connection portion of the second support portion;
• and
• a second coupling portion connected to a second connection portion of the first support portion and a second connection portion of the second support portion, wherein the second hinge portion comprises:
• a plurality of third coupling portions connected to a third connection portion of the second support portion and a first connection portion of the third support portion;
• and
• a plurality of fourth coupling portions connected to a fourth connection portion of the second support portion and a second connection portion of the third support portion,
• wherein the hinge controller comprises:
• a first hinge controller connected to the first coupling portion and the plurality of third coupling portions;
• and
• a second hinge controller connected to the second coupling portion and the plurality of fourth coupling portions.

A display device comprising:

• a panel support portion comprising n number of support portions, n being a natural number greater than 2;
• n-1 number of hinge portions connecting adjacent ones of the support portions;
• a flexible display panel disposed on the panel support portion;
• and
• a hinge controller controlling the n-1 number of hinge portions to be rotatable or unrotatable based on an angle between adjacent ones of the support portions,
• wherein when the first angle is greater than zero degree, the hinge controller controls the first hinge portion to be rotatable and controls the second hinge portion to be unrotatable.

A display device comprising:

• a panel support portion comprising a first support portion, a second support portion and a third support portion in order;
• a first angle at which the first support portion is rotatable relative to the second support portion, the first angle in a range from about zero degree to about 180 degrees,
• a second angle at which the third support portion is rotatable relative to the second support portion, the second angle in a range from about zero degree to about 360 degrees;
• a first hinge portion which connects the first support portion to the second support portion;
• a second hinge portion which connects the second support portion to the third support portion;
• and
• a flexible display panel rotatable together with the first support portion, the second support portion and the third support portion, respectively,
• wherein
• the first angle together with the second angle defines each of the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion as rotatable or unrotatable, and
• when the first angle is greater than zero degree, the hinge controller controls the first hinge portion to be rotatable and controls the second hinge portion to be unrotatable.
