Original Abstract Submitted
To mitigate a bending stress in the flexible wiring substrate in a structure, a display panel, to which the flexible wiring substrate connects, is curved along a first direction, and the flexible wiring is bent back to the rear of the display panel. The flexible wiring substrate connects with the display panel at a first region and at a second region; the flexible wiring substrate connects with the wiring substrate at a third region and at a fourth region. The flexible wiring substrate has a narrowest width in the first direction at an intermediate region between the display panel and the wiring substrate. A first wiring group in the flexible wiring substrate connects the first region with the third region or the fourth region, a second wiring group in the flexible wiring substrate connects the second region with another one of the third region or the fourth region.
