Abstract
A display device includes a display panel and a support plate disposed below the display panel, the support plate including a first flat part, a second flat part, and a central or folding part disposed between the first and second flat parts. The folding part may have a thickness different than each of the first and second flat parts.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a display panel;
- a support plate disposed below the display panel, the support plate comprising a first flat part, a second flat part, and a folding part disposed between the first and second flat parts;
- a first cover layer disposed in a first folding groove defined in a bottom surface of the support plate overlapping the folding part;
- and
- a first lower adhesive layer disposed on the bottom surface of the support plate, the first lower adhesive layer comprising a first lower primary adhesive layer and a first lower secondary adhesive layer,
- wherein the folding part has a thickness different than each of the first and second flat parts, the first lower primary adhesive layer overlaps a first edge portion of the first cover layer adjacent to the first flat part, and the first lower secondary adhesive layer overlaps a second edge portion of the first cover layer adjacent to the second flat part.
