The display panel 100 may further include a black layer BK formed between the front substrate 101 and the rear substrate 111.

The guide panel 200 may overlap with the black layer BK.

The guide panel 200 may include a portion protruding more by a predetermined distance W3 than the display panel 100 in a horizontal direction (Horizontal Direction, first direction DR1 or second direction DR2). In addition, the protruding portion of the guide panel 200 may include a curved surface (CS).

In this case, even when the rigidity of the film part 400 is sufficiently large, the film part 400 can easily cover the curved surface CS of the guide panel 200 while preventing damage to the film part 400.

The film part 400 may cover the curved surface CS of the guide panel 200.

Accordingly, the film part 400 may include a curved portion to cover the side surface of the guide panel 200.
