Abstract

A display device includes a display panel, a backlight assembly, a back cover and a curve control assembly. The back cover has a curved shape and faces the display panel with the backlight assembly therebetween to cover a back surface of the backlight assembly. The curve control assembly is between the backlight assembly and the back cover to adjust a curved degree of the display panel. The curve control assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, and a rolling unit. The first rail is coupled to the back surface of the backlight assembly, and the second rail is coupled to the back cover to face the first rail. The rolling unit is commonly connected to each of the first rail and the second rail and is movable along the first and second rails to move the display panel in directions toward and away from the back cover.
