Electronic devices may be provided that contain flexible displays that are bent to form displays on multiple surfaces of the devices. Bent flexible displays may be bent to form front side displays and edge displays. Edge displays may be separated from front side displays or from other edge displays using patterned housing members, printed or painted masks, or by selectively activating and inactivating display pixels associated with the flexible display. Edge displays may alternately function as virtual buttons, virtual switches, or informational displays that are supplemental to front side displays. Virtual buttons may include transparent button members, lenses, haptic feedback components, audio feedback components, or other components for providing feedback to a user when virtual buttons are activated.

An apparatus for manufacturing a display device including: a photographing member configured to photograph a first alignment mark, a second alignment mark, a third alignment mark, and a fourth alignment mark, which are provided in a display panel; and a control member configured to set an imaginary reference point, taking into account the first alignment mark, the second alignment mark, the third alignment mark, and the fourth alignment mark, which are photographed by the photographing member. The control member sets a first position which is included in the imaginary reference point and at which a first imaginary straight line connecting the first alignment mark to the third alignment mark and a second imaginary straight line connecting the second alignment mark to the fourth alignment mark cross each other.

A display device, an apparatus for manufacturing a display device and a method of manufacturing a display device are provided. A display device includes a flexible substrate including a main region, a bending region, which extends from an end of the main region, and a sub-region, which extends from an end of the bending region, the sub-region being reversed from the bending region to be attached on a rear surface of the main region, and an active element layer disposed in the main region of the flexible substrate, wherein a thickness of the flexible substrate is greater in the bending region than in the main region and the sub-region.

A display apparatus includes a flexible display panel including a display area with a first folding area, the display area including an upper surface and a lower surface and displaying an image via the upper surface, a cover window disposed on the upper surface of the display area of the flexible display panel and an antenna layer including a first antenna disposed on an upper surface of the first folding area. The upper surface of the display area includes the upper surface of the first folding area. The first antenna is disposed between the upper surface of the first folding area and the cover window.

An electronic device includes a housing including a recess; an internal structure disposed in the recess; and a display disposed in the recess and supported by the internal structure, where the display includes a display panel including a first region and a second region, where the second region forms at least part of an edge of the display panel; and a flexible polymer layer forming an outer surface of the display panel, where the flexible polymer layer includes a first portion covering the first region and the second region, and a second portion extending from the first portion, enclosing the at least part of the edge of the display panel, and extending inward. Thereby, foreign material can be prevented from entering into the display. Various other embodiments are possible.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprises a housing including a first surface facing a first direction, and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first surface, a conductive plate disposed at the first surface of the housing to be slidable in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and including a slot, a flexible display arranged to be supported by the conductive plate and including a first area facing the first surface and a second area extending from the first area and bendable according to the sliding of the conductive plate, and a wireless communication circuit configured to transmit and/or receive a signal in a selected or designated frequency band through an antenna formed on the basis of at least a part of the conductive plate, which surrounds the slot.

A display module includes a curved display panel and a curved cover plate that are attached by an adhesive, wherein at least one corner formed respectively by a cover plate body and a cover plate edge of the curved cover plate is a cambered corner. A thickness of a target structure at a target corner is greater than thicknesses of the target structure at other positions, the target structure being at least one of the cover plate edge and the adhesive, and a radius of curvature of the curved display panel is greater than a radius of curvature of a side, distal from the curved display panel, of the target structure.

The present disclosure relates to a folding plate and a method for manufacturing same, the folding plate, which is provided with a plurality of support plates and a plurality of flexible support plates connecting same, being used in multi-fold-type foldable phones to effectively impart heat-dissipation and support functions for a display.

To provide a method for manufacturing a lightweight light-emitting device having a light-emitting region on a curved surface. The light-emitting region is provided on a curved surface in such a manner that a light-emitting element is formed on a flexible substrate supported in a plate-like shape and the flexible substrate deforms or returns.

A display apparatus includes a display module for displaying an image, a variable member for varying a shape of the display module, and a rear cover disposed at a rear surface of the display module and varying with the varying shape of the display module.
