A display apparatus includes a window member, a display panel and a support member. The window member includes a window flat portion, and a window bent portion which extends bent from the window flat portion. The display panel includes an upper flat portion overlapping with the window flat portion, an upper bent portion extending bent from the upper flat portion to extend along the window bent portion, and a lower bent portion extending from the upper bent portion and bent toward a center of the upper flat portion. The support member disposes the display panel between the window member and the support member and extends along the lower bent portion of the display panel. Each of the upper flat portion and the upper bent portion is a display area of the display panel, and the lower bent portion is a non-display area of the display panel.

This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0050881, filed on May 2, 2018, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 119, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure herein relates to a display apparatus and a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a display apparatus and a portable terminal which have reduced non-display areas.
Portable terminals have been used as a mobile electronic device which a person can easily transport. A portable terminal may include a display panel for displaying an image, and a window member. The window member may determine an outer shape of the portable terminal.
As the designs of electronic display apparatuses such as portable terminals have been diversified, display panels and window members including portions within such portable terminals having curvature have been increasingly demanded. In a display apparatus, an area having curvature may display an image and a non-display area visible to the outside may exist in the area having the curvature.
The present disclosure may provide a display apparatus and a portable terminal having improved impact resistance at a bent area.
The present disclosure may also provide a display apparatus and a portable terminal reducing or removing visibility of a portion of a non-display area to outside.
