A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a first area, a bending area, and a second area arranged along a first direction, the second area being configured to be located underneath the first area in a thickness direction when the bending area is bent;
- and
- a spacer between the first area and the second area, and comprising:
- a first part;
- and
- a second part protruding from the first part in the first direction,
- wherein opposite sides of the second part in a second direction that crosses the first direction and the thickness direction define steps that are stepped from the first part along the second direction, and the steps are located at an outside of the second area in a plan view.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a first area, a bending area, and a second area arranged along a first direction, the second area being configured to be located underneath the first area when the bending area is bent;
- and
- a spacer between the first area and the second area, and comprising:
- a first part extending to an outside of the second area;
- and
- a second part protruding from the first part in the first direction,
- wherein the second area comprises:
- a mounting part overlapping with the first part in a plan view;
- and
- a bonding part protruding from the mounting part in the first direction, and overlapping with the second part, and
- wherein opposite sides of the second part in a second direction that crosses the first direction define steps that are stepped from the first part, and the bonding part is between the steps in the second direction in a plan view.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display device having a first hole area through which an optical signal passes;
- an electronic optical module under the display device and overlapping with the first hole area, the electronic optical module being configured to receive the optical signal;
- and
- a case configured to accommodate the display device and the electronic optical module,
- wherein the display device comprises:
- a display panel including a first area, a bending area, and a second area arranged along a first direction, the second area being configured to be located underneath the first area in a thickness direction when the bending area is bent;
- and
- a spacer between the first area and the second area, and comprising:
- a first part;
- and
- a second part protruding from the first part in the first direction, and
- wherein opposite sides of the second part in a second direction that crosses the first direction and the thickness direction define steps that are stepped from the first part along the second direction, and the steps are located at an outside of the second area in a plan view.
