Abstract
A display device according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure includes a stretchable display panel; and an actuator configured to deform the display panel, wherein the display panel includes a first area that is protruded by the actuator, a second area that is not protruded by the actuator, and a third area that is between the first area and the second area, wherein a plurality of pixels are disposed in the first area and the second area, wherein in the third area, only a plurality of connection lines connecting the plurality of pixels disposed in the first area and the plurality of pixels disposed in the second area are disposed, so that three-dimensional display capability of the display device can be improved.
Claims34
A display device, comprising:
- a stretchable display panel;
- and
- an actuator configured to deform the display panel,
- wherein the display panel includes a first area that is protruded by the actuator, a second area that is not protruded by the actuator, and a third area that is between the first area and the second area,
- wherein a plurality of pixels and connection lines are disposed in the first area and the second area,
- wherein in the third area, a plurality of connection lines connecting the plurality of pixels disposed in the first area and the plurality of pixels disposed in the second area are disposed, and the plurality of pixels are not disposed, and
- wherein the third area is inclined with respect to the second area.
A display panel divided into a first area, a third area disposed outside the first area, and a second area disposed outside the third area, the display panel comprising:
- a lower stretched substrate;
- a plurality of plate patterns and a plurality of line patterns disposed on the lower stretched substrate;
- a plurality of pixels disposed on each of the plurality of plate patterns;
- a plurality of connection lines disposed on each of the plurality of line patterns;
- and
- an upper stretched substrate covering the plurality of pixels and the plurality of connection lines,
- wherein a plurality of pixels and a plurality of connection lines are disposed in the first area and the second area,
- wherein in the third area, the plurality of pixels are not disposed and only a plurality of connection lines are disposed.
A display device, comprising:
- a stretchable display panel having a first surface and an opposite second surface;
- and
- an actuator adjacent to the stretchable display panel, the actuator having a first surface that faces the second surface of the stretchable display panel, the actuator, in operation, changing a shape of the display panel,
- wherein the display panel includes a first area that is changed in shape by the actuator, a second area that is not changed in shape by the actuator, and a third area that is between the first area and the second area,
- wherein the second surface of the display panel in the third area is spaced apart from the first surface of the actuator in the third area,
- wherein the first surface of the display panel in the first area is changed in shape by the actuator according to a shape of the first surface of the actuator in the first area,
- wherein the stretchable display panel includes a plurality of pixels and a plurality of connection lines,
- wherein adjacent pixels of the plurality of pixels are coupled to each other by at least one connection line of the plurality of connection lines,
- wherein the first area has a first density of the plurality of pixels,
- wherein the second area has a second density of the plurality of pixels,
- wherein the third area has a third density of the plurality of pixels, and
- wherein the third density is smaller than the first density and the second density.
