Display device including light-blocking layer directly attached to supporting member for improved visibility
An electronic device may include a window, a display panel disposed below the window, a supporting member disposed below the display panel, and a light-blocking layer disposed on the supporting member. The light-blocking layer may include a light-blocking material, and the light-blocking layer may be directly disposed on the supporting member or may be directly attached to the supporting member by a light-blocking adhesive layer. Thus, the electronic device has an improved impact resistance property and may prevent reflection of an external light.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a window;
a display panel disposed below the window;
a supporting member disposed below the display panel; and
a light-blocking layer disposed on the supporting member, wherein
the light-blocking layer comprises a light-blocking material,
the light-blocking layer is directly disposed on the supporting member or is directly attached to the supporting member by an adhesive layer,
the supporting member comprises a plate comprising a folding region,
the pate includes a plurality of openings that overlap the folding region, and
the light-blocking layer includes a plurality of openings that overlap the plurality of openings of the plate.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein
the plate includes a metallic material, and
the light-blocking layer is directly disposed on the plate or is directly attached to the plate by the adhesive layer.
3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein
the plate further comprises a first non-folding region and a second non-folding region with the folding region disposed therebetween.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking layer comprises at least one of a black dye and a black pigment.
5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the light-blocking layer comprises at least one of a polymer resin, a curing agent, a silane coupling agent, and an amorphous silica particle.
6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein a mean particle size of a solid in the light-blocking layer ranges from about 0.1 μm to about 4 μm.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking layer is a light-blocking coating layer directly coated on the supporting member.
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking layer is a light-blocking sheet attached to the supporting member by the adhesive layer.
10. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a lower protection film disposed below the display panel,
wherein the light-blocking layer is directly attached to the lower protection film by an additional adhesive layer.
11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the light-blocking layer ranges from about 7 μm to about 13 μm.
12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a surface roughness of the light-blocking layer is less than or equal to about 0.10 μm.
13. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a surface adhesion strength of the light-blocking layer is greater than or equal to about 800 gf.
14. An electronic device, comprising:
a window;
a display panel disposed below the window;
a supporting member disposed below the display panel; and
a light-blocking layer disposed on the supporting member, wherein
the light-blocking layer comprises a light-blocking material and is directly coated on the supporting member,
the supporting member includes a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region disposed therebetween, the folding region including a plurality of openings, and
the light-blocking layer includes a plurality of openings that overlap the plurality of openings of the supporting member.
