The support member has a first part including a plurality of tapered portions arranged along the first surface and tapered in a direction toward the second surface. The support member has a second part made from a softer material than the plurality of tapered portions. The second part connects an adjacent pair of the plurality of tapered portions. The display device has a neutral plane, which is free from expansion and contraction when the display device is bent. The neutral plane is closer to the first surface than the second surface.
