A flexible display device comprising:
- a flexible display panel comprising a first display region and second display regions disposed on opposite sides of the first display region, the flexible display panel having a shape of a curved surface when it is bent with respect to a central axis of the flexible display panel at an angle;
- optical sensors disposed in each of the first display region and the second display regions and measuring amounts of light in the first display region and the second display regions;
- and
- a luminance compensation unit compensating luminance of the first display region and luminance of the second display regions based on the measured amounts of light.
A method of compensating for luminance of a flexible display device, the method comprising:
- on a flexible display panel comprising a first display region and second display regions disposed at opposite sides of the first display region and having a shape of a curved surface that is bent from a central axis of the flexible display panel at an angle, measuring the amount of light in the first display region and the second display regions by utilizing optical sensors disposed in each of the first display region and the second display regions;
- and
- compensating for luminance of the first display region and luminance of the second display region based on the measured amounts of light.
