Optical Member Including Optical Fibers and Multi-Panel Display Device Including the Same

An optical member for a multi-panel display device, comprising:

• a first optical member located on a first display device and including optical fibers;
• a second optical member located on a second display device neighboring the first display device and including optical fibers;
• and
• an optical fiber plate on the first and second optical members, and the optical fiber plate connecting the first and second optical members,
• wherein each of the first and second optical members includes a resin support portion supporting the optical fibers thereof,
• wherein the optical fiber plate includes straight line type optical fibers and a resin support portion supporting the optical fibers of the optical fiber plate, and
• wherein a diameter of the optical fiber of the optical fiber plate is equal to or greater than a diameter of the optical fiber of each of the first and second optical members.
