Abstract

A display device includes a display panel including a front surface and a second surface which is opposite to the front surface; a front laminated structure attached to the front surface of the display panel; and a rear laminated structure attached to the second surface of the display panel. Each of the front laminated structure and the rear laminated structure includes a bonding member, and an average modulus of the bonding member of the front laminated structure is smaller than an average modulus of the bonding member of the rear laminated structure.
