Foldable display device maintaining a folding angle by magnetic force

1. A foldable display device, comprising:

a display panel disposed on a first cover and a second cover; and

at least one hinge that connects the first cover and the second cover,

wherein the hinge includes:

a fixing frame,

a pair of hinge shafts that passes through the fixing frame,

a pair of rotating plates that is fixed to one end of the pair of hinge shafts and fixed to the first cover and the second cover to rotate together with the first cover and the second cover,

a pair of first holding members that are coupled to the pair of hinge shafts between the fixing frame and the pair of rotating plates and maintains a specific folding angle of the first cover and the second cover by a magnetic force,

a fixing plate that is spaced apart from the fixing frame to be fixed to the other end of the pair of hinge shafts, and

a pair of springs that is coupled to the pair of hinge shafts between the fixing plate and the fixing frame to provide a surface friction force to the pair of first holding members by an elastic force,

wherein the pair of springs directly contact with the fixing plate and the fixing frame.

2. The foldable display device according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of first holding members rotates together with the pair of rotating plates.

3. The foldable display device according to claim 2 , further comprising a pair of second holding members that is fixed to the fixing frame and is fixed to the pair of hinge shafts between the fixing frame and the pair of first holding members.

4. The foldable display device according to claim 3 , wherein:

each of the pair of first holding members and each of the pair of second holding members includes a plurality of negative poles and a plurality of positive poles and the plurality of negative poles; and

the plurality of positive poles are alternately disposed along a direction perpendicular to the hinge shaft.

5. A foldable display device, comprising: a display panel disposed on a first cover and a second cover; and at least one hinge that connects the first cover and the second cover, wherein the hinge includes:

a fixing frame,

a pair of hinge shafts that passes through the fixing frame, a pair of rotating plates that is fixed to one end of the pair of hinge shafts and fixed to the first cover and the second cover to rotate together with the first cover and the second cover,

a pair of first holding members that are coupled to the pair of hinge shafts, and

a pair of third holding members that are fixed to edges of the first cover and the second cover, respectively and move together with the first cover and the second cover,

wherein the pair of third holding members are disposed to be adjacent to the pair of first holding members,

wherein the pair of first holding members and the pair of third holding members maintain a specific folding angle of the first cover and the second cover by a magnetic force,

wherein the pair of first holding members includes a plurality of negative poles and a plurality of positive poles and the plurality of negative poles and the plurality of positive poles are alternately disposed along a direction perpendicular to the hinge shaft and the pair of third holding members include at least one of negative poles and positive poles in an area facing the pair of first holding members.

6. The foldable display device according to claim 5 , wherein the pair of first holding members is fixed to the fixing frame.
