1. A display, comprising:
- a flexible display substrate having an active region and at least one bent edge portion, wherein the bent edge portion extends partially underneath the active region;
active display structures on the flexible display substrate in the active region; and
conductive traces on the flexible display substrate that extend from the active display structures in the active region onto the bent edge portion, wherein the flexible display substrate comprises a thinned region in the bent edge portion and wherein a thickness of the flexible display substrate in the thinned region is less than a thickness of the flexible display substrate in the active region.
