Abstract

A display device includes a set bracket having end portions bent in a predetermined angle, a display panel including a display formed on the set bracket, a bending portion integrally extended from the display and bent to correspond to a bent form of the set bracket, and a fastening portion integrally extended from the bending portion and fixed to the set bracket, and a set case configured to receive the set bracket and the display panel.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a set bracket having end portions bent in a predetermined angle;

a display panel comprising a display formed on the set bracket, a bending portion integrally extended from the display and bent to correspond to a bent form of the set bracket, and a fastening portion integrally extended from the bending portion and fixed to the set bracket; and

a set case configured to receive the set bracket and the display panel.

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display panel further comprises:

a flexible substrate;

a driving circuit formed on the flexible substrate and comprising a thin film transistor;

an organic light emitting element formed on the flexible substrate and connected to the driving circuit; and

an encapsulation thin film formed on the flexible substrate and covering the organic light emitting element and the driving circuit.

3. The display device of claim 1, further comprising a polarizer attached to the display panel.

4. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display panel and the set bracket are fastened and fixed using a fastener that penetrates between a set bracket hole formed in the bent end portions of the set bracket and a panel hole formed at a position corresponding to the set bracket hole and formed in the fastening portion of the display panel.

5. The display device of claim 1, wherein the bent end portions of the set bracket and the fastening portion of the display panel closely contact one another and are fixed to one another by a clip.

6. The display device of claim 1, wherein the bent end portions of the set bracket and end portions of the set case corresponding to the bent end portions of the set bracket have magnetism of opposite polarity, and

the fastening portion of the display panel closely contacts and is fixed by magnetic attraction between end portions of the set bracket and end portions of the set case.

7. The display device of claim 1, wherein an angle of the bending portion of the display panel is about 90°

.

8. The display device of claim 1, wherein a curvature radius of the bending portion of the display panel is between about 0.5 mm and about 1 mm.

9. The display device of claim 2, wherein the flexible substrate comprises a plastic material.
