Flexible display and electronic device including the same

A flexible display comprising:

• a window layer capable of being subjected to a bending deformation;
• a first axis parallel to a surface of the window layer, crossing the window layer, and being a center line of the bending deformation of the window layer;
• a polarizing plate layer having one surface combined with another surface of the window layer wherein edges of the polarizing plate later coincide with corresponding edges of the window layer with respect to a direction of the first axis;
• a display panel having one surface combined with another surface of the polarizing plate layer wherein edges of the display panel coincide with corresponding edges of the polarizing plate layer with respect to the direction of the first axis;
• and
• a plate layer having one surface combined with another surface of the display panel.

An electronic device comprising:

• a first housing;
• a second housing foldably connected to the first housing;
• a recess provided in both the first housing and the second housing from one surface of the electronic device towards another surface;
• and
• a flexible display disposed in the recess,
• wherein the flexible display includes:
• a window layer having one exposed surface and configured to be folded together with the first housing and the second housing;
• a first axis parallel to the surface of the window layer, crossing the window layer, and being a center line of a bending deformation of the window layer;
• a polarizing plate layer having one surface combined with another surface of the window layer wherein edges of the polarizing plate layer coincide with corresponding edges of the window layer with respect to a direction of the first axis;
• a display panel having one surface combined with another surface of the polarizing plate layer wherein edges of the display panel coincide with corresponding edges of the polarizing plate layer with respect to the direction of the first axis;
• and
• a plate layer having one surface combined with another surface of the display panel.
