Electronic device including flexible display

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device including a flexible display using patterned glass. The electronic device may include a flexible display having a folding area that may be bent at a predetermined angle or more in at least one direction inward or outward by means of an external force. Corresponding to the folding area, the ribs and slits of the specific pattern may repeatedly extend in a direction parallel to the folding axis at a folding portion provided on the glass layer of the flexible display. The slit length may be determined based on a thickness of the glass layer and / or a modulus of a polymer filling the slit, the slit length corresponding to a distance between a first bridge corresponding to a start point of the slit and a second bridge corresponding to an end point of the slit. The first and second bridges may be connected across the ribs such that the first and second ribs arranged parallel to each other on either side of the slit are substantially perpendicular to the fold axis.
