2. The flexible display device of claim 1 , wherein the bearing portion is installed at a one side of the first body.

3. The flexible display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a hinge unit connecting the first body and the second body to each other such that the first body and the second body can be folded and unfolded with respect to each other, and

wherein the hinge unit is installed at another side of the first body.

4. The flexible display device of claim 3 , wherein the hinge unit includes a plurality of hinge segments sequentially arranged in one direction, and enclosing a side surface of the first body in the folded state of the flexible display unit.

5. The flexible display device of claim 3 , wherein the bearing portion includes:

a first bearing configured to wind the flexible display unit thereon; and

a second bearing spaced from the first bearing, and configured to support the flexible display unit in the first body.

6. The flexible display device of claim 5 , wherein the first bearing includes:

a fixing shaft coupled to the first body; and

a rotation body having a hollow part for inserting the fixing shaft and configured to wind the flexible display unit thereon.

7. The flexible display device of claim 5 , wherein the first body includes a groove for inserting the second bearing, and

wherein the second bearing performs a rotation and a linear movement in the groove.

8. The flexible display device of claim 1 , wherein the third part is slidably coupled to each of the first part and the second part.

9. The flexible display device of claim 1 , wherein the first fixing housing is coupled to the flexible display unit and is moveable in the first body, and the second fixing housing is fixed to the first body.

10. The flexible display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second extension unit overlapping the first extension unit, having one side connected to the first part, and having another side connected to one end of the flexible display unit,

wherein the second extension unit includes a third fixing housing and a fourth fixing housing arranged with a second plurality of links interposed therebetween.

11. The flexible display device of claim 10 , further comprising:

a movement control module arranged at an edge of the first body, and configured to control a linear movement of the fourth fixing housing.

12. The flexible display device of claim 11 , wherein the movement control module includes:

a screw portion connected to the fourth fixing housing by a thread; and

a motor portion configured to rotate the screw portion.

13. The flexible display device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a deceleration control module configured to decelerate the fourth fixing housing arranged at an opposite edge of the first body.

14. The flexible display device of claim 1 , wherein the flexible display unit is fixedly-coupled to the first part and the second body.

15. A flexible display device, comprising:

a first body having a plurality of parts connected to each other so as to be relatively moveable;

a second body connected to one side of the first body by a hinge unit, so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the first body;

a flexible display unit arranged on a front surface of the first body and the second body; and

bearing portions installed at another side of the first body, and configured to wind at least part of the flexible display unit thereon,

wherein the flexible display unit is changed into an extending state from an unfolding state, by being unfolded by a relative movement of the plurality of parts,

wherein the flexible display unit is changed into the extending state from the unfolded state, by being extended by a relative movement of the plurality of parts of the first body,

wherein the plurality of parts of the first body include:

a first part;

a second part coupled to the first part; and

a third part slidable between the first part and the second part, and

wherein the plurality of parts in the first body include a plurality of links rotatably connected to each other, and a first fixing housing and a second fixing housing arranged with the plurality of links interposed therebetween such that when the flexible display unit is changed into the extending state, the first fixing housing moves along a moving direction of the flexible display unit and the plurality of links rotatably unfold in accordance with the movement of the first housing.

16. The flexible display device of claim 15 , wherein the bearing portions include:

a first bearing configured to wind the flexible display unit thereon; and

a second bearing spaced from the first bearing, and configured to support the flexible display unit in the first body.
