Abstract
A display device includes a display panel and a panel protective layer. The display panel has a first area and a second area. The first area is parallel to a plane including a first direction crossing a second direction. The second area extends from the first area and includes: a first part adjacent to the first area in the second direction, a second part extending from the first part and in a bent state, and a third part extending from the second part and disposed below the first part. The panel protective layer is between the first part and the third part. A distance between the first part and the third part decreases from an end of the third part toward the second part along the second direction.
Claims19
A display device, comprising:
- a display panel comprising a first area and a second area, the first area parallel to a plane including a first direction crossing a second direction, and the second area extending from the first area and comprising a first part adjacent to the first area in the second direction, a second part extending from the first part and in a bent state, and a third part extending from the second part and disposed below the first part;
- and
- a panel protective layer between the first part and the third part, wherein a distance between the first part and the third part decreases from an end of the third part toward the second part along the second direction, and the third part has a flat surface and is inclined with respect to the first part,
- wherein the panel protective layer comprises:
- a first protective layer disposed under the first part;
- and
- a cover panel disposed under the first protective layer,
- wherein the cover panel extends to overlap the first area, and
- wherein a thickness of the cover panel overlapping the first part is less than a thickness of the cover panel overlapping the first area.
