Abstract
A display device includes a display module including a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region disposed between the first and second non-folding regions, a first body disposed on the first non-folding region, a second body disposed on the second non-folding region, a plurality of rotation pin units connected to the first and second bodies to provide a biaxial rotation axis, which is overlapped with the folding region, to the first and second bodies, and a plurality of gears which rotate in conjunction with the rotation pin units. The plurality of gears is disposed on the rotation pin units.
Claims23
A display device, comprising:
- a display module including a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region disposed between the first and second non-folding regions;
- a first body disposed on the first non-folding region;
- a second body disposed on the second non-folding region;
- a plurality of rotation pin units connected to the first and second bodies to provide a biaxial rotation axis, which is overlapped with the folding region, to the first and second bodies;
- and
- a plurality of gears which rotate in conjunction with the plurality of rotation pin units,
- wherein the plurality of gears is disposed on the plurality of rotation pin units.
A display device, comprising:
- a display module including a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region disposed between the first and second non-folding regions;
- a first body disposed on the first non-folding region;
- a second body disposed on the second non-folding region;
- a hinge connected to the first and second bodies to provide a biaxial rotation axis to the first and second bodies;
- a first wing plate rotatably coupled to a portion of the first body, which is adjacent to a side portion of the first body facing the second body;
- and
- a second wing plate rotatably coupled to a portion of the second body, which is adjacent to a side portion of the second body facing the side portion of the first body,
- wherein a surface of the first body facing the display module and a surface of the first wing plate facing the display module, which are adjacent to each other, and a surface of the second body facing the display module and a surface of the second wing plate facing the display module, which are adjacent to each other, have curved surfaces.
A display device, comprising:
- a display module;
- a first body disposed on the display module;
- a second body disposed on the display module and spaced apart from the first body;
- a plurality of rotation pin units providing a biaxial rotation axis to the first and second bodies;
- a plurality of bracket bodies connecting the plurality of rotation pin units to the first and second bodies;
- a first frame, to which the plurality of rotation pin units is coupled;
- a plurality of gears, which are disposed on the plurality of rotation pin units, are rotated in conjunction with the plurality of rotation pin units, and are coupled to the first frame;
- and
- a plurality of bracket cams including side portions coupled to some of the plurality of gears,
- wherein opposite side portions of the plurality of bracket cams are moved along guide grooves, which are defined in the bracket bodies, when the display module is folded.
