## Abstract

A display device includes a display panel including a display area configured to display an image and a non-display area adjacent to the display area; a front panel that is substantially transparent and on a front surface of the display panel; and a blind between the display panel and the front panel at a portion of the non-display area, wherein the blind includes a plurality of strips spaced apart from each other and adjacent ones of the strips are at least partially overlapped with each other when viewed in at least one direction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a display panel comprising a display area configured to display an image and a non-display area adjacent to the display area;
a front panel that is substantially transparent and on a front surface of the display panel; and
a blind between the display panel and the front panel at a portion of the non-display area, wherein the blind comprises a plurality of strips spaced apart from each other, and adjacent ones of the strips are at least partially overlapped with each other when viewed in at least one direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the display area has a generally rectangular shape and the display panel comprises a first region that is substantially flat and a second region that is curved in a direction toward a rear surface of the display panel along at least one side of the rectangular shape.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein the blind is at the second region.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The display device of claim 3, wherein each of the strips comprises an upper surface substantially parallel to a plane of an upper surface of the display panel in the first region.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The display device of claim 3, wherein the front panel comprises a concavo-convex part extended in the one direction and the strips are at a predetermined area.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The display device of claim 5, wherein the strips extend along a side of the display area.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The display device of claim 5, wherein the concavo-convex part has a plurality of prism mountains, each of the prism mountains comprising a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface coupled to the first surface and facing a second direction different from the first direction, and the strips are on the first surfaces of the prism mountains.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The display device of claim 7, wherein the front panel is partially recessed to form the concavo-convex part.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, further comprising a light blocking layer at an area in which the adjacent ones of the strips are not overlapped with each other, the light blocking layer substantially surrounding the display area, wherein the blind is between the display area and the light blocking layer.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the display panel and the front panel are bent.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive layer between the display panel and the front panel.
