Abstract

A foldable display apparatus may include a first display panel and a component. The first display panel may include a first section and a second section. The first section may include a first pixel set and a first transmission structure surrounded by the first pixel set. The second section may include a second pixel set, may include a second transmission structure surrounded by the second pixel set, and may rotate relative to the first display section about a folding axis. A distance from the folding axis to a center of the first transmission structure may be substantially equal to a distance from the folding axis to a center of the second transmission structure. The component may overlap the first transmission structure. The second transmission structure may overlap the first transmission structure and the component when the foldable display apparatus is in a folded state.
