Flexible display apparatus and method of manufacturing the same
Provided is a flexible display apparatus in which flexibility is secured and reliability of products is improved, and a method of manufacturing the same. The flexible display apparatus includes a display panel including a flexible area and a non-flexible area and having one surface and the other surface opposite to the one surface; a protective film attached to the one surface of the display pane; a first adhesive layer interposed between the flexible area of the display panel and the protective film and configured to have a first storage modulus; and a second adhesive layer interposed between the non-flexible area of the display panel and the protective film and configured to have a second storage modulus.
1. A flexible display apparatus comprising:
a display panel including a flexible area and a non-flexible area and having a one surface and another surface opposite to the one surface;
a protective film attached to the one surface of the display panel;
a first adhesive layer interposed between the flexible area of the display panel and the protective film and having a first storage modulus; and
a second adhesive layer interposed between the non-flexible area of the display panel and the protective film and having a second storage modulus,
wherein the display panel includes a display unit and a pad unit,
wherein the display unit is located in the flexible area of the display panel, and the pad unit is located in the non-flexible area of the display panel,
wherein the display unit has flexibility in all regions;
wherein the first adhesive layer is in contact with the flexible area of the display unit and the protective film.
2. The flexible display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first storage modulus is less than the second storage modulus.
3. The flexible display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein
at room temperature, the first storage modulus is 1 MPa or less and the second storage modulus is 10 MPa or more.
4. The flexible display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer form one layer.
5. The flexible display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the protective film comprises a first protective film and a second protective film, a first adhesive layer is interposed between the display panel and the first protective film, and a second adhesive film is interposed between the display panel and the second protective film layer.
6. The flexible display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein
the first and second protective films are located on a same layer and are separated from each other.
7. The flexible display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein
the first and second adhesive layers are located on a same layer and are separated from each other.
8. The flexible display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein
the first storage modulus is less than the second storage modulus.
9. The flexible display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein
the second adhesive layer is formed to have a thickness less than a thickness of the first adhesive layer.
10. The flexible display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein
the second adhesive layer has a thickness of about 15 μm or less.
