Abstract
A display device including a display panel has a folding portion, a metal layer disposed on one surface of the display panel, and including a first metal layer and a second metal layer spaced apart from each other in the folding portion, a first adhesive layer disposed at edges of the first metal layer and the second metal layer, and a first compressible member disposed on the first metal layer and a second compressible member disposed on the second metal layer, the first and second compressible members being disposed closer to the folding portion than the first adhesive layer, in which the first and second compressible members each have a thickness greater than a thickness of the first adhesive layer.
Claims13
A display device comprising:
- a display panel longitudinally extending along a first direction and including a folding portion;
- a metal layer disposed on one surface of the display panel, and including a first metal layer and a second metal layer spaced apart from each other in the folding portion;
- a first adhesive layer disposed at edges of the first metal layer and the second metal layer;
- and
- a first compressible member disposed on the first metal layer and a second compressible member disposed on the second metal layer, the first and second compressible members being spaced apart to face each other in the first direction and disposed closer to the folding portion than the first adhesive layer;
- wherein the first and second compressible members each have a thickness greater than a thickness of the first adhesive layer,
- wherein the first and second compressible members include a polymer,
- wherein the first compressible member and the second compressible member do not overlap in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the display panel, and
- wherein the first adhesive layer and the first compressible member are disposed on the same surface of the first metal layer.
