Claims (20)

1. A flexible display module, comprising:

a flexible panel having a display unit thereon;

a built-in battery which supplies an internal power source to the flexible panel, for driving the display unit;

a driver IC chip provided on the flexible panel to drive the display unit;

a touch-screen functional chip;

a first printed circuit board connected to the driver IC chip, the built-in battery to supply power to the driver IC chip through the first printed circuit board, the built-in battery being charged in a state of being connected to an external power source through the first printed circuit board; and

a second printed circuit board connected to the touch-screen functional chip, the built-in battery to supply power to the touch-screen functional chip through the second printed circuit board.

2. The flexible display module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first connector connecting the first printed circuit board to the external power source; and

a second connector connecting the second printed circuit board to the external power source.

3. The flexible display module according to claim 1 , further comprising a window covering a side of the flexible panel, the window protecting the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board.

4. The flexible display module according to claim 3 , wherein a heat-radiating sheet is provided directly on an opposite side of the flexible panel and directly between the flexible panel and the built-in battery to radiate heat generated from the built-in battery.

5. The flexible display module according to claim 4 , wherein the heat-radiating sheet includes a graphite material.

6. The flexible display module according to claim 4 , further comprising a cooling device to cool heat generated from the built-in battery.

7. The flexible display module according to claim 6 , wherein the cooling device includes a cooling fan.

8. The flexible display module according to claim 3 , wherein:

the built-in battery is in a form of a sheet that extends in a plane parallel to a plane of the flexible panel, and

the flexible panel is interposed between the built-in battery and the window.

9. The flexible display module according to claim 1 , wherein the built-in battery is in a form of a sheet.

10. The flexible display module according to claim 9 , wherein the built-in battery is in a form of a sheet that extends in a plane parallel to a plane of the flexible panel.
