Display device including a support module having joints

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel including a flat area and a bendable area adjacent to the flat area in a first direction;
• a first support formed on a bottom surface of the display panel and overlapping the flat area;
• and
• a second support formed on the bottom surface of the display panel and overlapping the bendable area,
• wherein the first support is a flat plate extending in the first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, and includes a same material as the second support,
• wherein the second support includes:
• a first part having a same thickness as the first support, and
• a plurality of joints extending in the second direction, spaced apart from each other in the first direction and having a thickness that is greater than the first support, and
• wherein each of the plurality of joints is attached to a bottom surface of the first part of the second support.
