Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display panel including a base substrate and pixels. The base substrate includes first and second regions and a bending region therebetween. The pixels are on a front surface of the base substrate in the first region and are spaced apart from the second region. A drive circuit is on the second region and is electrically connected with the display panel. First and second plates are on a rear surface of the base substrate and overlap at least a portion of the first and second regions, respectively. The first plate includes a first surface facing the bending region. The second plate includes a second surface facing the bending region. A reinforcing member is on the rear surface of the base substrate and covers at least a portion of at least one of the first and second surfaces.
