Flexible display device and method of manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A flexible display device comprising:
- a display panel configured to display images, and including a flexible first substrate having a plurality of pixels disposed therein and a second substrate coupled to the flexible first substrate,the flexible first substrate including a display area, a bent part extending from the display area, and a pad part extending from the bent part;
a panel driver connected to the pad part, and configured to supply signals to the respective pixels; and
a supporting member configured to support the flexible first substrate, and including a bent part for guiding the bent part of the first substrate,wherein the flexible first substrate is curved at the bent part of the first substrate such that the pad part is disposed below the display area.

12. 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 (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
