Abstract

A foldable display device includes a flexible substrate; a display layer disposed on the flexible substrate; a first display region, a second display region, and a foldable region disposed between the first display region and the second display region; a biometric sensing structure overlapping the flexible substrate from a top view and having a biometric sensing region; and a supporting film disposed under the flexible substrate and including a recess portion in the foldable region. A total area of the biometric sensing region is less than or equal to a total area of the flexible substrate.

Claims (11)

1. A foldable display device comprising:

a flexible substrate;

a display layer disposed on the flexible substrate;

a first display region, a second display region, and a foldable region disposed between the first display region and the second display region;

a biometric sensing structure having a biometric sensing region, wherein a total area of the biometric sensing region is less than or equal to a total area of the flexible substrate;

a control unit disposed under the flexible substrate and electrically connecting the biometric sensing structure; and

a supporting film disposed under the flexible substrate and including a recess portion in the foldable region.

2. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the biometric sensing structure is disposed under the flexible substrate.

3. The foldable display device of claim 1 , further comprising a flexible circuit board for electrically connecting the biometric sensing structure to the control unit.
