Abstract
A foldable multi-display apparatus forms a large screen by connecting housings supporting display panels in a folding manner. In the foldable multi-display apparatus, the display panels are located below a hinge axis when the display panels are unfolded. Therefore, the display panels do not contact each other during rotation of the housings with respect to the hinge axis. In this configuration, the scratching of the display panels during unfolding operations can be prevented, thereby providing the foldable multi-display apparatus with increased reliability and lifespan.
