Problems solved by technology

[0005] Therefore, when the foldable display device is unfolded, since the curved portion protrudes outward, it cannot support the folded area which becomes flat due to unfolding.
That is, since the folded area and the curved portion of the flexible display panel are suspended from each other, the convenience of the user is reduced.

Abstract

A foldable display device including a case that stably supports a flexible display panel for improving user convenience is disclosed. In one aspect, the foldable display device includes a flexible display panel including a foldable area between lateral plane areas thereof and a pair of front cases surrounding a front perimeter of the flexible display panel. The device also includes a pair of bottom cases coupled with the pair of front cases to house the flexible display panel and a biaxial hinge member mounted to the bottom case in the foldable area to connect the pair of front cases to respective rotation points.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a foldable display device that can be unfolded and folded. Background technique [0002] A foldable display device uses a bendable flexible display panel. Since a folding display device can be easily carried when folded and a large screen can be displayed when unfolded, it can be applied not only to mobile devices such as mobile phones, ultra mobile PCs (ultra mobile PCs), e-books, e-news, but also to Used in various fields such as TVs and monitors. [0003] A foldable display device has a housing that supports a flexible display panel. The housing is configured to support the lower surface of the flexible display panel, wherein the flexible display panel has a folding area between the planar areas on both sides. For example, the housing includes: planar parts corresponding to the planar regions on both sides; curved parts protruding corresponding to the folding regions and connected to the planar parts on both sid...
