Abstract

A display device includes a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region. A display element included in the first region has a function of reflecting visible light and a function of emitting visible light. A display element included in the second region has a function of emitting visible light. In an electronic device including the display device, the first region is located on a first surface (e.g., top surface) on which a main image is displayed, and the second region is located on a second surface (e.g., side surface) on which an auxiliary image is displayed.

Claims (21)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a top surface, a first side surface, a curved surface between the top surface and the first side surface; and

a display panel including a display region overlapping with the first side surface,

wherein the display region comprises a protruded portion extending toward the top surface of the housing,

wherein the protruded portion overlaps with the curved surface,

wherein a width of the protruded portion is smaller than a width of the display region, and

wherein the display panel comprises an EL element.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the housing further includes a second side surface opposite to the first side surface and a third side surface between the first side surface and the second side surface,

wherein the display panel further includes a second display region overlapping with the second side surface and a third display region overlapping with the third side surface,

wherein the third side surface includes a first display element, and

wherein the first display element is capable of reflecting visible light.

3. An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a top surface, a first side surface, a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, a third side surface between the first side surface and the second side surface, a first curved surface between the top surface and the first side surface, a second curved surface between the first side surface and the third side surface; and

a display panel including a first display region overlapping with the first side surface and a second display region overlapping with the second curved surface,

wherein the first display region comprises a protruded portion extending toward the top surface of the housing,

wherein the protruded portion is over the first curved surface, and

wherein the display panel comprises an EL element.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the third side surface includes a first display element, and

wherein the first display element is capable of reflecting visible light.
