Abstract

A display device includes a display panel, which includes a folding region, which is foldable around a folding axis extending in a first direction, and first and second non-folding regions spaced apart from each other with the folding region therebetween, and a lower member disposed below the display panel. The lower member includes a first high-rigidity part, a first low-rigidity part, a second high-rigidity part, a second low-rigidity part, and a third high-rigidity part, each of which overlaps the folding region and which are arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction. Each of the first and second low-rigidity parts has a modulus less than a modulus of a high-rigidity part adjacent thereto in the second direction among the first high-rigidity part, the second high-rigidity part and the third high-rigidity part.
