Abstract: Embodiments relate to a foldable display apparatus including a hinge providing supporting for a bending area of a flexible display panel. The flexible display panel includes a first flat display area and a second flat display area at both sides of a bending display area. A first rear cover provides support for the first flat display area and has a first edge. A second rear cover provides support for the second flat display area and has having a second edge facing the first edge and parallel to the first edge. The hinge includes rear hinge covers longitudinally extending parallel to the first edge and the second edge, and elastic axis members coupling the plurality of rear hinge covers in an interlocking and rotatable manner. The elastic axis members are deformed as the rear hinge covers make a relative movement by bending of the hinge.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel and at least one plate under the display panel. The at least one plate includes a folding axis defined at the middle portion of the plate, a variable area including the folding axis and a non-variable area disposed at both sides of the variable area. The variable area includes a first area including the folding axis, a first link area disposed at both sides of the first area, and a second area disposed at both sides of the first area with the first link area therebetween. The non-variable area includes a second link area connected to the second area and a third area connected to the second link area. The at least one plate includes at least one opening pattern disposed in the variable area, having a length parallel to the folding axis and a width perpendicular to the folding axis, and being spaced at a predetermined gap.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel including a first display area and a second display area extended from the first display area, a support member that supports the first display area, a bottom cover coupled to the support member, an inner case configured to bend a part of the second display area and to be movable along an extension direction of the display panel, and a sub-plate disposed between the inner case and the second display area so as to be extended from an end portion of the support member. In a first mode, the first display area and the second display area overlap each other with the inner case interposed therebetween. In a second mode, an end portion of the second display area overlaps another portion of the second display area. Therefore, a step between a first display area and a second display area can be reduced.
