Abstract: A foldable display device and a method of driving the same are discussed. The foldable display device can include a display panel having a display area including a plurality of pixels and a non-display area surrounding the display area; a first base pattern in the non-display area; a first capacitive pattern in the non-display area, the first capacitance pattern forming a first capacitance with the first base pattern; a driving unit generating a comparison signal corresponding to the first capacitance; and a calculating unit sensing an unfolding state and a folding state of the display panel using the comparison signal.
