## Abstract

An electronic device package and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The electronic device package includes a flexible substrate, a first wiring structure, a first electronic device and a thermoplastic film having a second wiring structure. The first wiring structure is disposed on the flexible substrate. The first electronic device is disposed on the flexible substrate. The first electronic device and the first wiring structure are separated from each other. The thermoplastic film is welded to the flexible substrate and seals the first electronic device. The second wiring structure electrically connects the first wiring structure to the first electronic device. The electronic device package can be manufactured with a production cost.
