Abstract: An electronic device includes a display panel having a folding region, which is foldable with respect to a folding axis extending in one direction, and a first non-folding region and a second non-folding region spaced apart from each other with the folding region therebetween, and a lower member disposed below the display panel. The lower member includes a support layer disposed below the display panel, where the support layer includes a first support portion overlapping the first non-folding region, and a second support portion overlapping the second non-folding region, and a digitizer disposed below the display panel and corresponds to the first support portion and the second support portion. The first support portion and the second support portion each independently include a reinforcement fiber, where the reinforcement fiber includes an aramid fiber or includes a carbon fiber and a glass fiber.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a display panel including a folding area foldable with respect to a folding axis and a non-folding area which is adjacent to the folding area, a support plate facing the display panel, and a digitizer which faces the display panel with the support plate therebetween and detects a first external input. The digitizer includes a plate including a reinforcing fiber, a first conductive layer on a first surface of the plate, and a second conductive layer on a second surface of the plate which is opposite to the first surface of the plate.

Abstract: A display device includes: a display module; a plate positioned on a rear surface of the display module; and a digitizer positioned on a rear surface of the plate. The plate includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer each including carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and a fiber area weight (FAW) of the second layer is 100 g/m2 to 150 g/m2.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display module, and a support plate disposed under the display module and comprising reinforced fibers having long axes arranged in parallel to a direction. The electronic device is divided into a folding area foldable with respect to a folding axis extending in the direction, and a non-folding area adjacent to the folding area.

Abstract: A foldable display device includes a display module including a first non-folding portion, a second non-folding portion, and a first folding portion between the first non-folding portion and the second non-folding portion, a first support member on a lower surface of the display module, the first support member including a first support portion supporting the first non-folding portion, a second support portion supporting the second non-folding portion, and a first opening pattern overlapping the first folding portion, and including a glass material, and a second support member under the first support member and supporting the display module.
