The display device DD may be applied to various image display devices, e.g., a car, an aircraft, or a ship as a navigation unit. When the display device DD is applied to the car, the aircraft, or the ship as the navigation unit, the second and third cases CS2 and CS3 may be embedded in interiors of the car, the aircraft, or the ship.
Hereinafter, a direction substantially vertical to the plane surface defined by the first and second directions DR1 and DR2 will be referred to as a “third direction” DR3.
FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 are front views of the display device shown in FIG. 1 when viewed in front to show various states of the exposed area of a display module shown in FIG. 1.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the area of the display module DM exposed through the image opening portion IOP may be changed. In one exemplary embodiment, for example, the display module DM may be disposed at a position corresponding to ? of the image opening portion IOP as shown in FIG. 2. In such an embodiment, the display module DM may be disposed at a position corresponding to ? of the image opening portion IOP as shown in FIG. 3 or may be disposed over the entire image opening portion IOP as shown in FIG. 4.
