1. A flexible display device, comprising:
- a flexible film, which is divided into an active area and a dead area around the active area;
an electrode array provided in the active area of the flexible film;
a pad portion provided in the dead area of the flexible film and having a plurality of pad electrodes;
a routing wire configured to connect the electrode array and the pad electrodes;
a plurality of transparent dummy electrode wires provided from the pad electrodes to an edge of the flexible film; and
a plurality of dummy metal patterns,wherein each of the dummy metal pattern is in contact one-to-one with the transparent dummy electrode wires and is provided to the edge of the flexible film by a width greater than a width of each of the transparent dummy electrode wire.

Abstract
Disclosed is a flexible display device in which a flexible film is first patterned and in a subsequent process of removing a glass substrate, a structure around the flexible film is removed therewith by external physical force, in order to make the device slim. In the flexible display device, the edge structure of the flexible film may be changed to minimize the generation of particles on the cut plane of the flexible film, thereby preventing damage to the periphery of the flexible film.

9. A flexible display device, comprising:
-
a first flexible film, which is divided into an active area and a dead area around the active area; a touch electrode array provided in the active area of the first flexible film; a touch pad portion provided in the dead area of the first flexible film and having a plurality of touch pad electrodes; a routing wire configured to connect the touch electrode array and the touch pad electrodes; a plurality of transparent dummy electrode wires provided from the touch pad electrodes to an edge of the first flexible film; a plurality of dummy metal patterns, wherein each of the dummy metal pattern is in contact one-to-one with the transparent dummy electrode wires and is provided to the edge of the first flexible film by a width greater than a width of each of the transparent dummy electrode wires; a second flexible film having a thin-film transistor and an organic light-emitting diode array disposed so as to face the touch electrode array; and an adhesive layer between the organic light-emitting diode array and the touch electrode array. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
