Display device
First Claim
1. A display device, comprising a display unit, a circuit unit for driving the display unit and a bend suppressing member for suppressing bending of the display unit in a predetermined direction,the display unit comprising a flexible substrate and a display element having at least one layer of a display section interposed between a pair of upper and lower electrodes formed on the flexible substrate,the display unit being bendable in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction,one of the electrodes being made of a metal and the other electrode being made of a metal oxide formed into strips, andthe longitudinal side of the electrode formed into strips being aligned in the predetermined direction for suppressing bending of the display unit.
