Abstract: A foldable display device comprises a display panel; and a backplate attached to a side of the display panel and including a hard layer and first and second soft layer attached on lower and upper surfaces of the hard layer, respectively, wherein the hard layer has a difference in a distance from a reference line in a center portion and a first edge portion.

Abstract: A backplate having a folding region and an unfolding region adjacent to the folding region includes: first and second material layers corresponding to the folding and unfolding regions; and a third material layer between the first and second material layers, the third material layer is more rigid than the first and second materials layers, wherein the first and second material layers extend from the folding region to the unfolding regions such that a thickness of the first and second material layers is gradually reduced from the folding region to the unfolding region.

Abstract: Provided are a foldable plate and a foldable display device with the same. A foldable plate includes: a first area including a first material having a first elastic modulus, a second area including the first material, the second area being separate from the first area, a third area including a second material having a second elastic modulus lower than the first elastic modulus, the third area being interposed between the first area and the second area.

Abstract: A foldable display device includes a display panel including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; and an impact absorption film adjacent to the second surface of the display panel and including first and second impact absorption layers. The second impact absorption layer includes a soft part corresponding to a first region of the second impact absorption layer and a hard part corresponding to a second region of the second impact absorption layer. The first impact absorption layer and the soft part of the second impact absorption layer have an elastic modulus value less than an elastic modulus value of the hard part.

Abstract: Disclosed is a foldable display device capable of preventing distortion of a folding part of a display screen due to deformation of the folding part. The foldable display device includes a display panel including a folding part and non-folding parts, and a back cover attached to the rear surface of the display panel via an adhesive layer, wherein the back cover includes folding patterns and open patterns, both of which are disposed at the folding part, and unevenness compensation patterns disposed on areas of a surface of the back cover contacting the adhesive layer, the areas of the surface of the back cover corresponding to the non-folding parts. The unevenness compensation patterns may be a plurality of open patterns, which are fully formed through the back cover, or may be a plurality of grooves, which are not fully formed through the back cover.
