Abstract
A display apparatus including a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area spaced apart from the first non-folding area, and a folding area between the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area, the display apparatus including a flexible display panel having a display area disposed in the first non-folding area, the second non-folding area, and the folding area; a metal plate having an upper surface facing the flexible display panel and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface and including a recess, which is formed in a direction from the lower surface to the upper surface, in the folding area; and a first adhesive layer disposed between the flexible display panel and the metal plate.
Claims14
A display apparatus including a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area spaced apart from the first non-folding area, and a folding area between the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area, the display apparatus comprising:
- a flexible display panel having a display area disposed in the first non-folding area, the second non-folding area, and the folding area;
- a metal plate having an upper surface facing the flexible display panel and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface and including a recess, which is formed in a direction from the lower surface to the upper surface, in the folding area;
- and
- a first adhesive layer disposed between the flexible display panel and the metal plate,
- wherein the metal plate has a first thickness in the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area and a second thickness less than the first thickness in the folding area.
A display apparatus including a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area spaced apart from the first non-folding area, and a folding area between the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area, the display apparatus comprising:
- a flexible display panel having a display area disposed in the first non-folding area, the second non-folding area, and the folding area;
- a metal plate having an upper surface facing the flexible display panel and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface and including a recess, which is formed in a direction from the lower surface to the upper surface, in the folding area;
- a first adhesive layer disposed between the flexible display panel and the metal plate;
- a cushion layer disposed between the first adhesive layer and the flexible display panel, the cushion layer including a foam-shaped material;
- and
- a second adhesive layer disposed between the cushion layer and the flexible display panel.
A display apparatus including a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area spaced apart from the first non-folding area, and a folding area between the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area, the display apparatus comprising:
- a flexible display panel having a display area disposed in the first non-folding area, the second non-folding area, and the folding area;
- a metal plate having an upper surface facing the flexible display panel and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface and including a recess, which is formed in a direction from the lower surface to the upper surface, in the folding area;
- and
- a first adhesive layer disposed between the flexible display panel and the metal plate
- wherein the flexible display panel includes:
- a flexible substrate;
- a thin film transistor disposed on the flexible substrate;
- a first electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor;
- a light emitting structure disposed on the first electrode;
- and
- a second electrode disposed on the light emitting structure
- a thin film encapsulation layer disposed on the second electrode;
- a third adhesive layer disposed on the thin film encapsulation layer;
- and
- a window layer disposed on the third adhesive layer.
