Flexible display device with touch panel

A flexible display device, comprising:

• a display panel comprising:
• a first surface comprising a display area configured to display an image;
• and
• a second surface disposed on the opposite side of the display panel from the first surface;
• and
• a touch panel disposed on the first surface, the touch panel comprising:
• a base film;
• and
• a sensing electrode unit comprising a transparent conductive layer disposed on the base film,
• wherein:
• the sensing electrode unit comprises first sensing electrodes extending in a first direction and second sensing electrodes disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
• at least one of the first sensing electrodes and the second sensing electrodes is disposed on a surface of the base film facing the display panel;
• at least a portion of each of the display panel and the touch panel is bendable, such that centers of curvature of the display panel and the touch panel are positioned outside the second surface;
• and
• the sensing electrode unit is configured to be applied with compressive force when the flexible display device is bent.
