Abstract
The present invention relates to a portable device including a flexible display panel and having a new structure in which the flexible display panel is easily accepted and withdrawn to be used. In the portable device including a flexible display panel according to the present invention, when a support (40) is rotated using a rotation driving unit (100), a display panel (30) is withdrawn from a case (10) or the display panel (30) is accepted into the case (10). Therefore, the flexible display panel (30) is easily accepted and withdrawn to be used and since there is a feature that the flexible display panel (30) is wound in the form of rolled paper and maintained in a compact size when not used, there is an advantage capable of minimizing the overall size of the portable device.
