Abstract

A flexible display panel comprises a flexible substrate, a display module, a driving unit and at least one anisotropic conductive film. The display module is disposed on the flexible substrate, and has a display area and a peripheral circuit area beside the display area. The anisotropic conductive film is connected between the peripheral circuit area and the driving unit, and the driving unit is electrically connected to the peripheral circuit area through the anisotropic conductive film. In addition, the anisotropic conductive film has an insulation film and a plurality of conductive particles disposed in the insulation film. Diameters of the conductive particles are in a range from 4.5 micrometers to 7 micrometers, and a distribution density of the conductive particles is a range from 45000 grains per square millimeter to 65000 grains per square millimeter. Therefore, the flexible display panel has high reliability.

Claims (15)

1. A flexible display panel, comprising:
