Abstract:
Disclosed is display device that includes a display panel including a display surface shaped in a curve. The display surface is defined at an upper side of the display panel. A backlight unit is disposed at a lower side of the display panel. The backlight unit includes a light guiding plate bent along the bending axis. The light guiding plate includes an exit surface parallel with the display surface. The backlight units include a back surface facing the exit surface, and a plurality of connection sides connecting the exit surface with the back surface. At least one of the connection sides defines an incident surface. A circuit board is bent along the bending axis. A plurality of light emission units are electrically connected to the circuit board. The plurality of light emission units emits light to the incident surface. The bending axis is parallel to the incident surface.
