Abstract: A display device includes a main body including a display module for outputting an image and bendable, a bending module located at a center of a back surface of the main body, a pair of links, wherein each link has one end coupled to the bending module and extends in a horizontal direction, and link brackets respectively located at left and right ends of the main body, wherein the other end of each link is connected to each link bracket. The bending module changes angles of the pair of links, and, when the angle of the link changes, the other end of the link slides in the horizontal direction with respect to the link bracket. The main body includes an inner sheet disposed on a back surface of the display module, a cover bottom disposed on a back surface of the inner sheet, and a middle cabinet for covering perimeters of the display module, the inner sheet, and the cover bottom and forming a side surface appearance of the display device. The link bracket is disposed overlapping the middle cabinet.
