Flexible display panel and display apparatus including the flexible display panel
A flexible display panel including: a flexible substrate including a first region, second regions that extend from the first region and that have a curved surface, and a third region folded towards the second regions; a first display region in the first region of the flexible substrate; a second display region in the second regions of the flexible substrate; a plurality of non-display regions outside the first display region or the second display regions, wherein at least one of the plurality of non-display regions is in the third region of the flexible substrate; and an encapsulation member for encapsulating the first display region and the second display regions.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a flexible display panel comprising:
a first display region;
a second display region extending from the first display region and facing a different direction from the first display region;
a support member for maintaining a shape of the flexible display panel;
an encapsulation thin layer on the flexible display panel and covering the first display region and the second display region;
a touch layer on the encapsulation thin layer and comprising touch regions, the touch regions overlapping the first display region and the second display region;
at least one organic light-emitting device, wherein the at least one organic light-emitting device is located in the first display region or the second display region, and
wherein the first display region is configured to display an image in a first direction, and the second display region is configured to display an image in a second direction different from the first direction.
2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a transparent protection window located on the touch layer, the transparent protection window overlapping the first display region and the second display region.
3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second display region has a curved surface.
4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the touch layer is curved corresponding to the curved surface of the second display region.
5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation thin layer covers display surfaces of the first display region and the second display region.
6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation thin layer comprises at least one of an inorganic layer or an organic layer.
7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the touch layer further comprises touch wirings outside the touch region.
8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second display region comprises a plurality of second display regions extending from opposite sides of the first display region.
9. A display apparatus comprising:
a flexible display panel comprising:
a first display region;
a second display region extending from the first display region and facing a different direction from the first display region;
a support member for maintaining a shape of the flexible display panel;
an encapsulation thin layer on the flexible display panel and covering the first display region and the second display region;
a touch layer on the encapsulation thin layer and comprising touch regions, the touch regions overlapping the first display region and the second display region; and
at least one organic light-emitting device, wherein the at least one organic light-emitting device is located in the first display region or the second display region,
wherein the second display region has a curved surface, and
wherein the curved surface of the second display region is configured to display an image while the curved surface remains curved.
10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein each of the first display region and the second display region is configured to display an image when the second display region faces a different direction from the first display region.
