Panel forming apparatus and panel forming method using the same

A panel forming method comprising:

• preparing a first mold including an alignment part, a first jig disposed on the alignment part, and a shaft disposed under the alignment part, the shaft moves the alignment part and the first jig upward and downward;
• preparing a second mold including a first support including a plurality of first holes defined therein, a second jig disposed under the first support, the second jig including an opening defined therein, a third jig disposed in the opening, a plurality of first cylinders disposed on the first support, the plurality of first cylinders extending through the plurality of first holes, respectively, and connected to the third jig, and a second cylinder disposed on the first support;
• providing a preliminary display panel onto the first jig;
• applying a thrust to the plurality of first cylinders and the second cylinder;
• moving the first support downward;
• moving the first jig upward;
• bringing an upper surface of the preliminary display panel and the second jig or the third jig into contact with each other;
• and
• stopping the first mold.

An electronic device comprising:

• a camera module;
• a display device displaying an image corresponding to a captured image acquired through the camera module;
• and
• a case accommodating the display device and the camera module,
• wherein the display device includes a display panel formed by a first mold and a second mold facing each other upward and downward and being moved to become closer to each other upward and downward, and including an edge part having a round shape,
• wherein the first mold includes:
