Stretchable display device

1. A stretchable display device, comprising:

a stretchable display to change between extended and retracted states;

a slider surrounding an edge of the stretchable display and having a variable length; and

a cover including a plurality of unit bodies surrounding an outer surface of the slider, wherein the display area is to stretch when the stretchable display changes from the retracted state to the extended state, wherein the stretchable display includes:

a display area to output an image,

wiring areas at edges of the display area, and

a plurality of connectors at vertexes of the display area, each of the connectors to connect adjacent wiring areas.

2. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slider includes:

at least one first sliding section surrounding at least a portion of the edge of the stretchable display; and

a second sliding section surrounding the at least one first sliding section, the second sliding section to move along a length direction of the at least one first sliding section.

3. The display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein two first sliding sections are coupled to one edge of the stretchable display, the two first sliding sections spaced apart from each other.

4. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

each connector is bent with first and second ends,

the first end is connected to a first wiring area, and

the second end is connected to a second wiring area adjacent to the first wiring area.

5. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

when the unit bodies move away from each other, the stretchable display extends, and

when the unit bodies move closer to each other, the stretchable display retracts.

6. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

when the unit bodies are closest to each other, the cover has substantially a closed curve shape.

7. A display device, comprising:

a stretchable display; and

a slider connected to the stretchable display; and

a cover connected to the slider, wherein the cover includes a plurality of sections that are to move along the slider when forces are applied to at least one pair of opposing sides or corners of the cover, a screen of the stretchable display to change size when the sections move along the slider, wherein the sections of the cover are to move away from one another along the slider relative to two axes when the forces pull the at least one pair of opposing corners.

8. The display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the sections of the cover are to move away from one another along the slider when the forces pull the at least one pair of opposing sides along a first axis.

9. The display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the sections of the cover are to move toward one another along the slider when the forces push the at least one pair of opposing sides along the first axis.

10. The display device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the sections of the cover are to move away from one another along the slider when the forces pull another pair of opposing sides along a second axis.

11. The display device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the sections of the cover are to move toward one another along the slider when the forces push the other pair of opposing sides along the second axis.

12. The display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the slider includes:

a first sliding section connected to the cover; and

a second sliding section connected to the stretchable display, the second sliding section to move relative to the first sliding section.

13. The display device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein:

the first sliding section is to move along a first axis relative to the second sliding section when the forces are applied to a first pair of opposing sides of the cover, and

the first sliding section is to move along a second axis relative to the second sliding section when the forces are applied to a second pair of opposing sides of the cover.
