13. A method of manufacturing a flexible display device, the method comprising:
-
manufacturing a display panel by coupling a flexible first substrate to a second substrate, the flexible first substrate including a display area having a plurality of pixels, a to-be-bent part extending from the display area, and a pad part extending from the to-be-bent part; adhering a panel driver to the pad part, the panel driver configured to supply signals to the respective pixels; manufacturing a supporting member including a bent part formed by a hemming process; adhering the supporting member to a bottom of the display panel; bending the to-be-bent part of the flexible first substrate along the bent part of the supporting member, so as to form a bent part of the flexible first substrate; and adhering at least one of the pad part and the panel driver to a bottom of the supporting member. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
