Abstract
An electronic device includes a display panel having a folding region, which is foldable with respect to a folding axis extending in one direction, and a first non-folding region and a second non-folding region spaced apart from each other with the folding region therebetween, and a lower member disposed below the display panel. The lower member includes a support layer disposed below the display panel, where the support layer includes a first support portion overlapping the first non-folding region, and a second support portion overlapping the second non-folding region, and a digitizer disposed below the display panel and corresponds to the first support portion and the second support portion. The first support portion and the second support portion each independently include a reinforcement fiber, where the reinforcement fiber includes an aramid fiber or includes a carbon fiber and a glass fiber.
