Abstract

Damage to a flexible display can be prevented. A display device having improved mechanical strength can be provided. A display device (10) includes a display panel (11) and a protection cover (12). The display panel (11) includes a first portion having flexibility. The protection cover (12) has a light-transmitting property and flexibility and is provided to overlap with a display surface side of the display panel (11). The display device (10) has a function of being reversibly changed in shape to a first mode in which the display panel (11) and the protection cover (12) are each substantially flat and a second mode in which the first portion of the display panel (11) is curved such that the display surface side becomes a concave surface and part of the protection cover (12) is curved in the same direction as the first portion. In the second mode, there is a gap between the first portion and the protection cover.
