    Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display module configured to display an image and to be folded about a folding axis at a folding area defined on a plane; a support member below the display module; and a protective member between the display module and the support member. The support member includes a folding part overlapping the folding area and configured to be folded about the folding axis, and the folding part includes a plurality of joint portions extending parallel to the folding axis and connected to each other. Each of the joint portions includes a support surface supporting the display module, and when the support member is folded, a cusp point is formed between adjacent ones of the support surfaces on a cross-section.

    Abstract: A display device includes a display module including: a folding area, and first and second non-folding areas; a first support member bendable together with the display module and including: a bending area corresponding to the folding area, and first and second non-bending areas corresponding to the first and second non-folding areas; and a support layer facing the display module with the first support member therebetween, and including: a second support member in the bending area and the first and second non-bending areas; a first support plate facing the first support member with the second support member therebetween and in the bending area and the first non-bending area; and a second support plate facing the first support member with the second support member therebetween and in the bending area and the second non-bending area. The second support plate is disconnected from the first support plate at the bending area.

    Abstract: A display device may include a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region. The display device may include a display member including a display module, a supporting member supporting the display member, an adhesion member disposed between the display member and the supporting member, and a compensation member attached to one of top and bottom surfaces of the adhesion member and overlapped with the folding region. Thus, it may be possible to provide a display device configured to reduce a stress, which is exerted on a folding region when it is in a folded state, and to prevent the folding region from being deformed to a bent shape when it is in an unfolded state.
