Claims28
A flexible display apparatus, comprising:
- a glass substrate including a flat surface and a glass etching surface that is curved from which the flat surface is partially removed;
- and
- a flexible display panel including a bending portion on the glass etching surface and a plane display portion on the flat surface of the glass substrate,
- wherein the glass etching surface has an inverse tapered shape adjacent to a rear surface of the flexible display panel,
- wherein the glass substrate includes a flat rear surface,
- wherein at least a portion of the curved glass etching surface is over at least a portion of the flat rear surface,
- wherein a thickness of the plane display portion is the same as a thickness of the bending portion,
- wherein the flexible display panel further includes:
- a pixel array portion on the flat surface of the glass substrate;
- a display pad portion connected to the pixel array portion;
- and
- a link line portion between the pixel array portion and the display pad portion, and
- wherein the bending portion includes the link line portion.
