Claim 16:
17. A display device comprising:
a display panel including a planar portion, a first curved portion connected to one side of the planar portion, and a first side portion connected to one side of the first curved portion, the display panel further including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
a window on the first surface of the display panel; and
a first pressure sensor overlapping the first side portion of the display panel in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the first side portion of the display panel,
wherein the first side portion is non-coplanar with each of the planar portion and the first curved portion,
wherein the first pressure sensor includes:
a first substrate and a second substrate;
a first driving electrode, a second driving electrode, a first sensing electrode, and a second sensing electrode which are on one surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate;
a first pressure sensing layer on one surface of the second substrate facing the first substrate; and
a second pressure sensing layer in contact with the second driving electrode and the second sensing electrode,
wherein the first pressure sensing layer overlaps the first driving electrode and the first sensing electrode, and

a gap between the first pressure sensing layer and the first driving electrode and the first sensing electrode,
wherein the display panel is disposed between the first pressure sensor and the window, and
wherein any portion of the first pressure sensor does not overlap the planar portion of the display panel in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the planar portion of the display panel.
