Abstract
A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a flexible substrate including a first area having a display area, a second area facing the first area, and a bending area connecting the first and second areas, a cover layer and a polarization layer disposed on the flexible substrate in the first area, a pad part disposed on the flexible substrate in the second area, a first support plate disposed on a lower surface portion of the flexible substrate corresponding to the first area, and a second support plate disposed on a lower surface portion of the flexible substrate corresponding to the second area, and a support member disposed between the first and second support plates. One end of the support member extends to contact a lower surface portion of the flexible substrate corresponding to the bending area and, as such, supports the radius of curvature of the bending area when the display device is in a bent position.
