Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display module and a support member disposed below the display module and supporting the display module. The display module includes a folding region and a plurality of non-folding regions adjacent to the folding region, and having a display surface for displaying an image. The display module is operated in a plurality of modes, and the plurality of modes includes a first mode in which the folding region has a first curvature radius and is folded in a first bending direction which surrounds a virtual first bending axis defined below the display module and a second mode in which the folding region has a second curvature radius and is folded in a second bending direction which surrounds a virtual second bending axis defined above the display module. The first curvature radius is greater than the second curvature radius.
