Abstract
A display device may include a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region. The display device may include a display member including a display module, a supporting member supporting the display member, an adhesion member disposed between the display member and the supporting member, and a compensation member attached to one of top and bottom surfaces of the adhesion member and overlapped with the folding region. Thus, it may be possible to provide a display device configured to reduce a stress, which is exerted on a folding region when it is in a folded state, and to prevent the folding region from being deformed to a bent shape when it is in an unfolded state.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a display member including a display module and a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region defined in the display module;
- a supporting layer disposed on the display member;
- an adhesion layer disposed between the display member and the supporting layer;
- a compensation layer attached to the adhesion layer and overlapped with the folding region;
- a cushion layer disposed below the supporting layer;
- and
- a supporting plate disposed below the cushion layer.
A display device, comprising:
- a display member including a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, a folding region and a display module, wherein the display member has a first state and a second state, wherein, in the first state, the display member is configured to be flat, and in the second state, the folding region is bent;
- a supporting layer comprising a first supporting layer and a second supporting layer spaced apart from each other in a region corresponding to the folding region;
- an adhesion layer including a first adhesion layer and a second adhesion layer, wherein the first adhesion layer is disposed between the display member and the first supporting layer, and the second adhesion layer is disposed between the display member and the second supporting layer;
- and
- a compensation layer including a first compensation layer and a second compensation layer, wherein the first compensation layer is attached to the first adhesion layer, and the second compensation layer is attached to the second adhesion layer, wherein the first compensation layer is disposed between the first adhesion layer and the first supporting laver, and the second compensation layer is disposed between the second adhesion layer and the second supporting layer,
- wherein each of the first and second compensation layers is overlapped with the folding region and is not overlapped with the first and second non-folding regions, and
- wherein, in the second state, the first compensation layer and the second compensation layer are not in contact with a top surface of the display member and face each other.
