Flexible display device having supporting layer
A flexible display device includes a supporting layer and a flexible display panel. The supporting layer has two non-folding regions and a folding region between the two non-folding regions. The folding region has a central region and two edge regions. Each of the edge regions is located between one of the two non-folding regions and the central region, and open porosities of the two edge regions are different from an open porosity of the central region. The flexible display panel is located on the supporting layer.
1. A flexible display device comprising:
a supporting layer having two non-folding regions and a folding region between the two non-folding regions, wherein the folding region has a central region and two edge regions, each of the two edge regions is located between one of the two non-folding regions and the central region, and open porosities of the two edge regions are different from an open porosity of the central region, the central region has a plurality of first openings, each of the two edge regions has a plurality of second openings, the open porosities of the two edge regions gradually increase from the two non-folding regions towards the central region, the second openings are arranged in a plurality of columns in the two edge regions, each of the columns extends in a widthwise direction of the supporting layer, and the number of the second openings in each of the columns gradually increases from the central region to the two non-folding regions; and
a flexible display panel located on the supporting layer.
