Display device and electronic device including the same

Abstract

An electronic device includes a display module, a support plate, and a protection member. The display module includes a display panel. The display panel has a first non-foldable area, a foldable area, and a second non-foldable area defined therein. The foldable area is disposed between the first non-foldable area and the second non-foldable area. The support plate is disposed below the display panel. In the support plate, a plurality of opening parts overlapping with the foldable area is defined. The protection member overlaps with at least one of the plurality of opening parts in a planar view. In the protection member, an instantaneous rate of change of a second shear thickening corresponding to a second shear thickening rate may be greater than an instantaneous rate of change of a first shear thickening corresponding to a first shear rate. The second shear thickening rate is greater than the first shear thickening rate.
