1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a display element layer comprising a folding area foldable with respect to a folding axis, and a non-folding area which is adjacent to the folding area;
a plurality of support plates under the display element layer and facing the folding area and the non-folding area thereof;
the plurality of support plates comprising a first support plate and a second support plate which is further from the display element layer than the first support plate;
a plurality of conductive layers facing each other; and
a reinforcing fiber plate defining the second support plate further from the display element layer than the first support plate,
wherein
the second support plate further from the display element layer than the first support plate is disposed between the plurality of conductive layers, the second support plate together with the plurality of conductive layers defining a digitizer which detects a first external input, and
the display element layer which is folded disposes the second support plate of the digitizer comprising at the folding area:
a first curvature part having a first curvature with respect to a first curvature center defined facing a first surface of the second support plate, and
a second curvature part extending from the first curvature part and in a direction towards the non-folding area, the second curvature part having a second curvature with respect to a second curvature center defined facing a second surface of the second support plate which is opposite to the first surface.
