    Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display panel including: a folding area foldable around a virtual folding axis extending in a first direction; and non-folding areas spaced from each other with the folding area therebetween; and a protection member including: a hinge member below the display panel, and overlapping with the folding area to be foldable around the folding axis; a base member overlapping with the non-folding areas; and a support member connected to the hinge member and the base member. The hinge member includes: extension parts extending in the first direction and located along a second direction crossing the first direction, each of the extension parts having a guide groove; joint parts connected to opposite ends of the extension parts, and rotatably connected to one another; and a guide part including a protruding part protruding in the first direction to be connected to the guide grooves of the extension parts.

    Abstract: A display device includes: a folding region and a non-folding region; a display module corresponding to the folding region and the non-folding region; a module supporter corresponding to the non-folding region and in which the display module is received; and a hinge corresponding to the folding region and rotatably connected to the module supporter. The hinge includes: a first joint and a second joint, a first rotator which rotatably connects the module supporter to the first joint, and a second rotator which rotatably connects the first joint to the second joint. The display module includes a first plane facing the module supporter, and a distance between the second rotator and the first plane is greater than a distance between the first rotator and the first plane.

    Abstract: A display device includes first and second sidewall portions and a display module disposed therebetween that is folded with respect to an axis. A moving portion is connected to a first side of the display module and is disposed between the first sidewall portion and the second sidewall portion in a non-expanded mode. A link portion is connected to a second side of the display module. A driving integrated circuit is disposed below the display module and includes a heat discharge plate disposed thereon. The moving portion is configured to move in the first direction to bring the display device into an expansion mode in which the moving portion is farther displaced from the second side of the display module and the link portion is configured to expand in the first direction so that a portion of the link portion overlaps with the heat discharge plate.
