Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a display panel; a first pattern layer on one surface of the display panel; and a second pattern layer facing the one surface with the first pattern layer interposed therebetween, wherein: the first pattern layer comprises a plurality of first patterns each having a closed line shape comprising a first opening; the second pattern layer comprises a plurality of second patterns each having a closed line shape comprising a second opening; on the one surface, each of the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer has a deformation rate which is smaller in a direction perpendicular to a tensile direction than in the tensile direction; and on the one surface, the first openings overlap portions of the second patterns.

Claims (39)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display panel;

a first pattern layer on one surface of the display panel; and

a second pattern layer facing the one surface with the first pattern layer interposed therebetween,

wherein:

the first pattern layer comprises a plurality of first patterns each having a closed line shape comprising a first opening;

the second pattern layer comprises a plurality of second patterns each having a closed line shape comprising a second opening;

on the one surface, each of the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer has a deformation rate which is smaller in a direction perpendicular to a tensile direction than in the tensile direction; and

on the one surface, the first openings overlap portions of the second patterns.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer has a negative Poisson's ratio.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first patterns have a shape different from that of the second patterns.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first patterns have a same shape as the second patterns.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the first patterns is engaged with and connected to adjacent first patterns.

6. The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a portion in which the first patterns are engaged with each other includes a curve.

7. The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein shapes of the first patterns that are engaged with and connected to each other are identical to each other.

8. The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a shape of one of the first patterns engaged with and connected to each other corresponds to a shape obtained by rotating a first pattern connected to the one first pattern at a predetermined angle.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first patterns comprise a polygonal pattern and line portions extending from the polygonal pattern; and

the first patterns adjacent to each other are connected by the line portions of the first patterns.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first resin layer between the first pattern layer and the display panel; and

a second resin layer between the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer.

11. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a modulus of each of the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer is greater than a modulus of each of the first resin layer and the second resin layer.

12. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein:

the first resin layer is inside the first openings; and

the second resin layer is inside the second openings.

13. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first resin layer is spaced apart from the second pattern layer with the first pattern layer interposed therebetween.

14. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of support bars, which face the one surface of the display panel with the first and second pattern layers interposed therebetween, are arranged in one direction, and respectively extend in a direction crossing the one direction.

15. A display apparatus comprising:

a display panel that is rolled around a rolling axis; and

a protective member on one surface of the display panel,

wherein:

the protective member comprises a plurality of pattern layers arranged along a thickness direction of the display panel and respectively comprising auxetic patterns; and

the auxetic patterns of at least two of the plurality of pattern layers are displaced from each other on a plane.

16. The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of pattern layers has a Poisson's ratio of 0.3 or less.

17. The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the auxetic patterns of the plurality of pattern layers have a same shape as each other.

18. The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the auxetic patterns of at least two of the plurality of pattern layers have shapes different from each other.

19. The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the protective member further comprises at least one resin layer alternately arranged with the plurality of pattern layers.

20. The display apparatus of claim 19 , wherein a modulus of each of the plurality of pattern layers is greater than a modulus of the at least one resin layer.
