Display device

A display device comprising:

• a display module comprising a folding area at which the display module is foldable, and a non-folding area which is adjacent to the folding area along a first direction;
• a plate facing the display module, the plate comprising:
• a bending portion corresponding to the folding area;
• a plate portion corresponding to the non-folding area;
• and
• a plurality of openings defined in the bending portion;
• a first support plate facing the display module with the plate portion of the plate therebetween;
• a first cushion member facing the plate portion of the plate with the first support plate therebetween;
• and
• a first support member facing the display module with the bending portion of the plate therebetween,
• wherein
• each of the first support member and the first cushion member has a modulus, and
• the modulus of the first support member is greater than the modulus of the first cushion member.

• a plate facing the display module, the plate comprising:
• a bending portion corresponding to the folding area;
• and
• a plurality of openings defined in the bending portion;
• a first support layer facing the display module with the plate therebetween, the first support layer comprising a first support plate and a second support plate disconnected from each other at the folding area;
• and
• a second support layer facing the plate with the first support layer therebetween, the second support layer comprising:
• a first support member which faces the bending portion of the plate with the first support plate therebetween, and
• a second support member which faces the bending portion of the plate with the second support plate therebetween and is disconnected from the first support member at the folding area of the display module,
• wherein each of the first support member and the second support member has a modulus which is equal to or greater than about 1 gigapascal.
