## Abstract

The present disclosure includes a display module, a first frame that is disposed to be long along an upper side of the display module and is convexly bent toward a front side of the display module, a second frame that is spaced apart from the first frame in the vertical direction, is disposed to be long along a lower side of the display module, and is convexly bent in the same direction as the first frame, a third frame disposed between one side of the first frame and one side of the second frame, a fourth frame spaced apart from the third frame in the left-right direction and disposed between the other side of the first frame and the other side of the second frame, an upper sliding member mounted movably in the first frame and fixed to the upper side of the display module, and a lower sliding member mounted movably in the second frame and fixed to the lower side of the display module.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a non-curved display module;
a first frame corresponding to an upper side of the display module and convexly curved toward a front-facing direction of the display module;
a second frame corresponding to a lower side of the display module and convexly curved toward the front-facing direction of the display module;
a third frame disposed between a first end of the first frame and a first end of the second frame;
a fourth frame laterally spaced apart from the third frame and disposed between a second end of the first frame and a second end of the second frame; and
an upper movement member fixed toward the upper side of the display module and configured to move along the first frame and
a lower movement member fixed toward the lower side of the display module and configured to move along the second frame to allow change of a facing direction of the non-curved display module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the lower movement member includes:
a plurality of lower movement members laterally spaced apart from each other along the lower side of the display module.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the first frame includes:
a first partial frame convexly curved toward the front-facing direction of the display module;
a second partial frame configured to be straight and connecting a first end of the first partial frame to an upper end of the third frame; and
a third partial frame configured to be straight and connecting a second end of the first partial frame to an upper end of the fourth frame.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The display device of claim 3, wherein movement of the first movement member is within the first partial frame.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the first frame is disposed behind the display module, and a central part of the second frame protrudes further forward past a front surface of the display module.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein a radius of curvature of the first partial frame is shorter than a radius of curvature of the second frame.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein a center of curvature of the first partial frame is the same as a center of curvature of the second frame.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the first movement member comprises:
a first upper roller and a third upper roller in contact with an upper side of the first frame; and
a second upper roller and a fourth upper roller facing or in contact with a lower side of the first frame.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of lower movement members includes:
a lower roller in contact with an upper side of the second frame.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the upper movement member is coupled to a rear surface of the display module via an adhesive member.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The display device of claim 8, wherein the first movement member further comprises:
an upper mounting member configured to be coupled to a rear of the display module; and
an upper roller housing coupled to the upper mounting member,
wherein the first, second, third, and fourth upper rollers are disposed in the upper roller housing.

### Claim 12

A display device comprising:
a display module;
a first frame corresponding to an upper side of the display module and convexly curved toward a front-facing direction of the display module;
a second frame corresponding to a lower side of the display module and convexly curved toward the front-facing direction of the display module;
a third frame disposed between a first end of the first frame and a first end of the second frame;
a fourth frame laterally spaced apart from the third frame and disposed between a second end of the first frame and a second end of the second frame;
an upper movement member fixed toward the upper side of the display module and configured to move along the first frame; and
a lower movement member fixed toward the lower side of the display module and configured to move along the second frame,
wherein the first frame is disposed behind the display module and a central part of the second frame protrudes further forward past a front surface of the display module.

### Claim 13

A display device comprising:
a display module;
a first frame corresponding to an upper side of the display module and convexly curved toward a front-facing direction of the display module;
a second frame corresponding to a lower side of the display module and convexly curved toward the front-facing direction of the display module;
a third frame disposed between a first end of the first frame and a first end of the second frame;
a fourth frame laterally spaced apart from the third frame and disposed between a second end of the first frame and a second end of the second frame;
an upper movement member fixed toward the upper side of the display module and configured to move along the first frame; and
a plurality of lower movement members laterally spaced apart from each other and fixed toward the lower side of the display module and configured to move along the second frame,
wherein each of the lower movement members comprises a lower roller disposed inside a lower roller housing and configured to roll along an upper side of the second frame.
