Flexible display panel and display apparatus including the same
A flexible display panel and a display apparatus including the flexible display panel are disclosed. The flexible display panel includes an encapsulated panel, a first protective film on one side of the encapsulated panel, and a second protective film on another side of the encapsulated panel. The encapsulated panel includes a flexible panel and a flexible encapsulation member on the flexible panel. The flexible panel includes a first region on a first plane and that includes a display region, and a second region on a second plane that is bent with respect to the first plane and that includes a non-display region. The flexible encapsulation member encapsulates the display region. The display apparatus also includes a support unit for maintaining a shape of the flexible panel.
1. A flexible display panel comprising:
a first protective film;
a flexible substrate on the first protective film;

a first non-display region on the flexible substrate having a second plane that is bent with respect to the first plane;
a second non-display region on the flexible substrate having a third plane that is bent with respect to the second plane and faces the first plane; and
a flexible encapsulation member on the display region.
2. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second non-display region on the third plane includes a pad unit.
3. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second non-display region is substantially parallel to the first plane.
4. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second non-display region extends from the first non-display region.
5. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the first non-display region comprises a first first non-display region and a second first non-display region adjacent to the first first non-display region, the corners of the first and the second first non-display regions being cut off.
6. The flexible display panel of claim 5 , wherein the second non-display region is extending from the first non-display region having cut-off corners.
7. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the flexible display panel further comprises a border region between the display region and the first non-display region, wherein the border region has a curved surface having a curvature radius.
8. The flexible display panel of claim 7 , wherein the curvature radius is constant.
9. The flexible display panel of claim 7 , wherein the curvature radius is between 0.01 mm and 10 mm.
10. The flexible display panel of claim 7 , wherein the curved surface has an arc shape.
11. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein flexible display panel further comprises a second protective film on the flexible encapsulation member.
12. The flexible display panel of claim 11 , wherein the second protective film covers an end of the flexible encapsulation member.
13. The flexible display panel of claim 11 , wherein the first protective film and the second protective film are symmetrical with each other.
14. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the flexible display panel further comprises a barrier layer between the flexible substrate and the display region, the first non-display region, and the second non-display region.
15. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the flexible display panel further comprises a transparent window on the flexible encapsulation member.
16. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the flexible display panel further comprises a touch panel on the flexible encapsulation member.
17. The flexible display panel of claim 16 , wherein the touch panel comprises a flexible film that is bent to correspond to a shape of the flexible display panel.
18. The flexible display panel of claim 17 , wherein the touch panel comprises:
a touch region on the flexible film and corresponding to the display region and a wiring region outside the touch region.
19. A flexible display panel comprising:
a first protective film;
a flexible substrate on the first protective film;
a display region on the flexible substrate having a first plane;
a first non-display region on the flexible substrate having a second plane that is bent with respect to the first plan, the first non-display region comprising a first first non-display region and a second first non-display region adjacent to the first first non-display region, the corners of the first and the second first non-display regions being cut off;
a second non-display region on the flexible substrate having a third plane that is bent with respect to the second plane and faces the first plane, the second non-display region extending from the first non-display region having cut-off corners;
a border region between the display region and the first non-display region; and
a flexible encapsulation member on the display region.
20. The flexible display panel of claim 19 , wherein the second non-display region is extending from the first non-display region having cut-off corners.
21. The flexible display panel of claim 19 , wherein the flexible display panel further comprises a transparent window on the flexible encapsulation member.
