Display apparatus, method of manufacturing the display apparatus, and electronic apparatus
A display apparatus, a method of manufacturing the display apparatus, and an electronic apparatus are disclosed. The display apparatus includes a display panel including a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, wherein the peripheral area includes a bent area extending from one side of the display area, a receiver receiving at least a portion of the display panel, and a filler disposed to fill a space between at least a portion of the display panel and the receiver, wherein the filler includes a coupler having a shape that may be coupled to the receiver.
1 . A display apparatus comprising:
a display panel including a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, wherein the peripheral area includes a bent area extending from one side of the display area;
a receiver receiving at least a portion of the display panel; and
a filler disposed to fill a space between at least a portion of the display panel and the receiver,
wherein the display area is defined by a first direction crossing a second direction;
wherein the receiver includes a first receiver portion and a second receiver portion, the first receiver portion extends in a third direction crossing the first direction and the second direction, and the second receiver portion extends in the second direction, and
wherein the filler includes a coupler disposed in the second receiver portion and having a shape that is directly connected to the second receiver portion.
2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display panel is bent in the bent area such that lower surfaces thereof face each other, and
the filler is disposed to fill a space between the lower surfaces facing each other, and a space between the bent area and the receiver.
3 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a cover window covering the display panel,
wherein the receiver is connected to a circumference of the cover window.
4 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the filler has a slope toward a center of the display panel in a direction from the cover window to a lower surface of the receiver.
5 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the slope of the filler has an angle of about 1° to about 2°.
6 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the filler is arranged along the circumference of the cover window.
7 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising an optical functional layer disposed between the display panel and the cover window,
wherein the filler covers a lateral surface of the optical functional layer.
8 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the coupler has a stair-type step difference, and the receiver is coupled to the step difference of the coupler.
9 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the coupler includes a coupling protrusion protruding toward the receiver, and the receiver includes a receiving concave portion coupled to the coupling protrusion.
10 . The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the coupling protrusion protrudes in an ‘L’ shape.
11 . The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the coupling protrusion is provided in plurality, and the plurality of coupling protrusions are arranged apart from each other in an extension direction of the receiver.
12 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiver includes a receiving protrusion protruding toward the filler, and the coupler includes a coupling concave portion coupled to the receiving protrusion.
13 . The display apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a cover window covering the display panel,
wherein the receiving protrusion protrudes between the cover window and the filler.
14 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
a display apparatus; and
a housing receiving the display apparatus and forming an appearance of the electronic apparatus,
wherein the display apparatus includes:
a display panel including a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, wherein the peripheral area includes a bent area extending from one side of the display area;
a receiver receiving at least a portion of the display panel; and
a filler disposed to fill a space between at least a portion of the display panel and the receiver,
wherein the display area is defined by a first direction crossing a second direction;
wherein the receiver includes a first receiver portion and a second receiver portion, the first receiver portion extends in a third direction crossing the first direction and the second direction, and the second receiver portion extends in the second direction, and
wherein the filler includes a coupler disposed in the second receiver portion and having a shape that is directly connected to the second receiver portion.
15 . The electronic apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the display panel is bent in the bent area such that lower surfaces thereof face each other, and
the filler is disposed to fill a space between the lower surfaces facing each other, and a space between the bent area and the receiver.
16 . The electronic apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the coupler has a stair-type step difference, and the receiver is coupled to the step difference of the coupler.
