Abstract
A display device includes: a first case and a second case connected to each other by a folding member; and a display panel that is at least partially disposed on a first surface of the first case, wherein a second surface of the first case is opposite to the first surface of the first case, wherein a third surface of the second case faces the second surface of the first case when the display device is in a folded state, and the third surface of the second case is coplanar with the second surface of the first case when the display device is in an unfolded state, wherein a first end portion of the display panel is fixed to the second case, and a position of a second end portion of the display panel is configured to change on the first surface of the first case.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a first case and a second case connected to each other by a folding member;
- and
- a display panel that is at least partially disposed on a first surface of the first case, wherein a second surface of the first case is opposite to the first surface of the first case, wherein a third surface of the second case faces the second surface of the first case when the display device is in a folded state, and the third surface of the second case is coplanar with the second surface of the first case when the display device is in an unfolded state,
- wherein a first end portion of the display panel is fixed to the second case, and a position of a second end portion of the display panel is configured to change on the first surface of the first case.
A display device comprising:
- a first case and a second case connected to each other by a folding member;
- a rotating member connected to the first case;
- and
- a display panel that is at least partially disposed on a first surface of the first case, wherein a second surface of the first case is opposite to the first surface of the first case, and a third surface of the second case faces the second surface of the first case when the display device is in a first state, and the third surface of the second case is aligned with the second surface of the first case when the display device is in a second state,
- wherein a first end portion of the display panel is fixed to the second case, and a position of a second end portion of the display panel is configured to change on the first surface of the first case, and
- when the first case and the second case overlap each other, the display panel displays an image on a first display portion, and
- when the second surface of the first case and the third surface of the second case are aligned with each other, the display panel displays an image on a second display portion.
A display device comprising:
- a first case and a second case connected to each other by a folding member, wherein the first case and the second case are configured to rotate about the folding member;
- a rotating member disposed at a first end of the first case and configured to rotate;
- and
- a display panel that is at least partially disposed on a first surface of the first case, wherein a second surface of the first case is opposite to the first surface of the first case, wherein a third surface of the second case faces the second surface of the first case in a first direction when the display device is in a folded state, and the first case and the second case are arranged in a second direction when the display device is in an unfolded state, wherein the second direction crosses the first direction,
- wherein a first end portion of the display panel is fixed to the second case, and a position of a second end portion of the display panel is disposed on the first surface of the first case, and
- wherein, when the display device is in the folded state, a first portion of the display panel is disposed between the second surface of the first case and the third surface of the second case and is configured to move toward and away from the folding member as the rotating member rotates.
