1. A display apparatus comprising:
a flexible display panel comprising:
a first region comprising a first display region; and
a second region extending from the first region and facing a different direction from the first region, the second region comprising a second display region and a first non-display region;
a support member for maintaining a shape of the flexible display panel;
an encapsulation thin layer on the flexible display panel and covering the first display region and the second display region;
a touch layer on the encapsulation thin layer and comprising touch regions, the touch regions overlapping the first display region and the second display region; and
at least one light-emitting diode,
wherein the at least one light-emitting diode is located in the first display region or the second display region.
2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a transparent protection window located on the touch layer, the transparent protection window overlapping the first display region and the second display region.
3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second region has a curved surface.
4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the curved surface of the second region is configured to display an image while the curved surface remains curved.
5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the first display region and the second display region is configured to display an image when the second display region faces a different direction from the first display region.
6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation thin layer comprises at least one of an inorganic layer or an organic layer.
7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the touch layer further comprises touch wirings outside the touch regions.
8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second display region is connected with the first display region.
9. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the second display region is disposed between the first display region and the first non-display region.
10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second non-display region extending from the first non-display region, the second non-display region facing a different direction from the first non-display region.
11. A display apparatus comprising:
a flexible display panel comprising:
a first display region; and
a second display region extending from the first display region and facing a different direction from the first display region;
