Abstract: A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a flexible substrate including a first area having a display area, a second area facing the first area, and a bending area connecting the first and second areas, a cover layer and a polarization layer disposed on the flexible substrate in the first area, a pad part disposed on the flexible substrate in the second area, a first support plate disposed on a lower surface portion of the flexible substrate corresponding to the first area, and a second support plate disposed on a lower surface portion of the flexible substrate corresponding to the second area, and a support member disposed between the first and second support plates. One end of the support member extends to contact a lower surface portion of the flexible substrate corresponding to the bending area and, as such, supports the radius of curvature of the bending area when the display device is in a bent position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a rollable display apparatus including: a flexible display panel that includes a pixel array; a roller part having a surface for winding the display panel; a first housing receiving the roller part and having a first opening through which a portion of the display panel passes; a rotational controller coupled between the roller part and the first housing, the rotational controller configured to: in a first state, enable the roller part to rotate in a first direction to unwind the display panel from the roller part but prevent rotation of the roller part in a second direction opposite the first direction, in a second state, enable the roller part to rotate in the second direction to wind the display panel onto the roller part, and switch from the first state to the second state responsive to receiving a triggering operation from a user.
