Flexible display apparatus

A flexible display apparatus, comprising:

• a flexible substrate including:
• an active area including a plurality of driving thin film transistors (TFTs) and a plurality of organic emission elements, and
• an inactive area including a first inactive area adjacent to the active area, a second inactive area for a circuit board, and a bending area between the first inactive area and the second inactive area;
• a component disposed on at least a part of the first inactive area;
• a plurality of wiring lines extending from the plurality of driving TFTs to the first inactive area, the bending area and the second inactive area;
• and
• a support layer disposed across the active area, the first inactive area, the bending area, and the second inactive area,
• wherein the support layer includes a plurality of cut portions overlapping with the bending area of the flexible substrate and a plurality of segmented portions between the plurality of cut portions, and
• wherein when the bending area is bent, the plurality of segmented portions are in contact with each other in the bending area.
