Flexible display panel and display apparatus including the flexible display panel
A flexible display panel includes a flexible substrate including a first region including a display region and having a curved display surface, and a plurality of non-display regions that is located outside the display region and including a second region located outside the first region and folded in a direction different from a display direction of the first region, and an encapsulation member for encapsulating the display region along the curved display surface.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a flexible display panel comprising:
a flexible substrate;
a display region disposed on a first side of the flexible substrate and facing in a first direction;
a first flexible non-display region disposed on the first side of the flexible substrate and disposed outside the display region;
a second flexible non-display region disposed on the first side of the flexible substrate and extended from the first flexible non-display region, the second flexible non-display region facing in a second direction different from the first non-display region;
a border region between the display region and the first flexible non-display region; and
an encapsulation member encapsulating the display region, the border region, and at least one of the first and second flexible non-display regions, and
a pad unit in the second flexible non-display region on the first side of the flexible substrate, the pad unit being coupled with a connector, and the display region overlapping the pad unit and the connector in the first direction.
2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a touch panel located on the encapsulation member and comprising a touch region having a curved surface corresponding to the display region; and
at least one organic light-emitting device located in the display region.
3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising:
a transparent protection window located on the touch panel and corresponding to curved shapes of the flexible display panel and the touch panel.
4. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the display region has a constant curvature radius.
5. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the display region has a concave display surface.
6. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the display region comprises an organic light-emitting device.
7. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first and second flexible non-display regions have a constant curvature radius.
8. The display apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising:
a support member for maintaining a shape of the flexible display panel.
9. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the border region comprises an organic light-emitting device.
