Abstract

A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel and a heat dissipating layer. The flexible display panel includes a bending region and a non-bending region. The heat dissipating layer includes a first heat dissipating sublayer and a second heat dissipating sublayer. The first heat dissipating sublayer is disposed on the non-bending region and the second heat dissipating sublayer is disposed on the first heat dissipating sublayer.
