Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a substrate including a first non-folding portion, a second non-folding portion, and a folding portion therebetween; a support layer disposed under the substrate and including a plurality of first portions overlapping the first and second non-folding portions, respectively, and a second portion overlapping the folding portion; a plurality of transistors disposed on the substrate, and a plurality of light emitting elements disposed above the transistors and connected to the transistors. The second portion includes a plurality of rib portions disposed between recess portions defined in a lower surface of the second portion. The folding portion includes a plurality of first folding portions overlapping the recess portions and a plurality of second folding portions overlapping the rib portions in the plan view. The transistors are not disposed in the first folding portions.
