Abstract
A display device includes a display panel including an upper substrate and a lower substrate facing and coupled to a rear surface of the upper substrate, a guide frame supporting the display panel, and a coupling member coupling the guide frame to the display panel. The coupling member includes an adhesive member providing adhesive strength and at least one or more buffer members which are disposed inside the adhesive member and have an elastic force. Accordingly, the display device can absorb an impact applied to the display panel, thus enhancing the stability of the display panel.
