Abstract

A flexible touch screen and a flexible display device including the flexible touch screen are provided in the present disclosure. The flexible touch screen includes a first substrate and a first conductive layer located on the first substrate. The first substrate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. When the flexible touch screen is bent in a first direction in a manner that the first surface becomes convex and the second surface becomes concave, the first conductive layer is located on one side of the first substrate where the first surface is located and is subject to compressive stress or zero stress. The flexible touch screen of the present disclosure can effectively improve an anti-bending ability and prolong the service life.
