Abstract

A display device includes a table including an upper plate portion and a support portion that supports the upper plate portion; a window member disposed in an upper portion of the upper plate portion; and a display module slidable with respect to the window member, wherein a position of the display module varies from a first position of being accommodated in the upper plate portion to overlap the window member to a second position of protruding from the upper portion of the upper plate portion.

Claims (43)

1. A display device comprising:

a table including an upper plate portion and a support portion that supports the upper plate portion;

a window member disposed in an upper portion of the upper plate portion; and

a display module slidable with respect to the window member,

wherein a position of the display module varies from a first position of being accommodated in the upper plate portion to overlap the window member to a second position of protruding from the upper portion of the upper plate portion.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display module is flatly unfolded parallel to the window member in the first position.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display module is visible through the window member in the first position.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display module is perpendicular or inclined with respect to the window member in the second position.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein an overlapping area between the window member and the display module in the first position is greater than an overlapping area between the window member and the display module in the second position.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display module forms an inclination with the window member and protrudes out of the upper plate portion of the table when the display module slides.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

a portion of the display module that overlaps the window member slides parallel to the window member, and

a portion of the display module that does not overlap the window member slides in a direction crossing the window member.

8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

at least a portion of the display module accommodated in the upper plate portion slides parallel to the window member, and

at least a portion of the display module that protrudes from the upper portion of the upper plate portion slides in a direction crossing the window member.

9. The display device of claim 6 , further comprising a roller extending in a direction crossing a sliding direction of the display module,

wherein the display module is bent such that the sliding direction of the display module varies based on the roller.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a driver electrically connected to a side of the display module, the driver elevating the side of the display module.

11. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a rail disposed in the upper plate portion; and

a guide member which connects the rail to the display module and slides along the rail to guide sliding of the display module.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein

the display module includes a display panel and a support member that supports the display panel, and

the guide member is directly connected to the support member.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the guide member and the support member are integral with each other.

14. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the support member is a metal plate.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the window member includes:

a glass window; and

a touch sensing layer disposed on a lower surface of the glass window, and

the display module includes a display panel and a film window disposed on an upper surface of the display panel.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the glass window is thicker than the film window.

17. A display device comprising:

a window member including a touch sensing layer;

a display module slidable with respect to the window member;

a driver electrically connected to a side of the display module, the driver elevating the side of the display module in a direction crossing the window member;

a guide member connected to another side of the display module; and

a rail connected to the guide member,

wherein a position of the display module varies from a first position of overlapping the window member to a second position of being perpendicular or inclined with respect to the window member.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the display module is flatly unfolded parallel to the window member in the first position.

19. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the display module forms an inclination with the window member when the display module slides.

20. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the window member, the display module, the driver, the guide member, and the rail are disposed in a table.
