FOLDABLE DISPLAY
FIG4 is an enlarged view illustrating a connected portion of a printed circuit board of the foldable display shown in FIG2
The second connectors 162 are configured on the FPC 161 so as to compensate for change in length during folding of the folding region FR. As illustrated in FIG4, the second connectors 162 are configured such that they have the folded structure when the display panel 110 is in the unfolded state but they are unfolded when the display panel 110 is folded. Other embodiments include the FPC 161 configured with a different structure for compensating for change in length upon folding of the display panel 110. The case segments 121 are coupled to upper surfaces 137, 139 of the hinge bodies 131 and 135, respectively, and the upper surfaces 137, 139 of the hinge bodies 131 and 135 are provided therein with guide grooves 131a so as not to interfere with the second connectors 162 (see FIG4) or the FPCs 161 (see FIG4) such that the second connectors 162 are connected to the first connection holes 122 between the rear surfaces of the case segments 121 and the upper surfaces 137, 139 of the hinge bodies 131, 135.

['1. A foldable display (100) comprising: a display panel (110) including a plurality of LED arrays (111), which extend in one direction; a lower plate (120) including at least one folding region (FR) and unfolding regions (UFR) connected to both sides of the folding region (FR), the display panel (110) being coupled to upper surfaces of the folding region (FR) and the unfolding regions (UFR); a printed circuit board (160) coupled to a rear surface of the lower plate (120) so as to control an operation of the display panel (110); and a hinge part (130) coupled to a lower portion of the folding region (FR) so as to form and maintain a folded state of the folding region (FR).', '3. The foldable display (100) according to claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of case segments (121) includes a first connection hole (122) formed therethrough, which allows a first connector (112) provided on a rear surface of a corresponding one of the plurality of LED arrays (111) to be connected to a second connector (162) provided at a flexible printed circuit (161) coupled to the printed circuit board (160).']
