- Frequently Updated Research:
Stay updated on advancements in flexible display technology and materials to enhance the performance and durability of display devices. Research on new manufacturing techniques and materials could further improve the design and functionality of bendable displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device including: a display panel including a display area, a pad area spaced apart from the display area, and a bending area between the display area and the pad area; a first support part overlapping the display area; and a second support part overlapping the pad area, wherein the second support part is spaced apart from the first support part in a first direction when the bending area is bent, and wherein a first end of the first support part adjacent to the bending area and a first end of the second support part adjacent to the bending area are spaced apart from each other by about 0.4 mm or less in a second direction crossing the first direction when the bending area is bent.
