The active area 1000A may include a first area 1000A1, a second area 1000A2 and a third area 1000A3 in order. The electronic device 1000 may be bendable or foldable at second area 1000A2 with respect to a folding axis FX extending along the second direction DR2. The first area 1000A1 and the third area 1000A3 may be referred to as non-folding areas, and the second area 1000A2 may be referred to as a folding area. The electronic device 1000 may be unfoldable or may remain flat even when the electronic device 1000 is folded at the second area 1000A2, without being limited thereto.
The electronic device 1000 which is folded may dispose the first area 1000A1 and the third area 1000A3 facing each other, such as to define in-folding of the electronic device 1000. Thus, the active area 1000A of the electronic device 1000 which is in-folded may not be exposed to outside the electronic device 1000. However, this is merely illustrative, and the invention is not limited to in-folding of the electronic device 1000.
In an embodiment, the electronic device 1000 which is out-folded may dispose the first area 1000A1 and the third area 1000A3 facing away from each other so as to be opposed to each other. Thus, the active area 1000A of the electronic device 1000 which is out-folded may be exposed to outside the electronic device 1000.
