4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first waterproof tape and the second waterproof tape overlap the second area.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first waterproof tape and the second waterproof tape are thinner than the third waterproof tape and the fourth waterproof tape.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the under-panel sheet comprises a buffer member and a strength reinforcing member.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the strength reinforcing member comprises polyimide (PI).

8. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a window which is disposed on the display panel and comprises a first area overlapping the display panel and a second area protruding outward from the display panel;

an under-panel sheet which is disposed under the display panel and overlaps the display panel; and

a waterproof member which is disposed on the second area of the window and does not overlap the under-panel sheet.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the under-panel sheet comprises a buffer member and a strength reinforcing member.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the strength reinforcing member comprises polyimide (PT).

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the waterproof member comprises a plurality of line-shaped waterproof tapes extending along sides of the under-panel sheet and a plurality of waterproof resins, each disposed in a space between the waterproof tapes.
