US Patent 10528166 Flexible display device and method of manufacturing the same

A flexible display device including a display panel configured to display an image and including first and second bending areas configured to be bent along first and second folding axes, respectively, and a touch sensing unit disposed on the display panel. The touch sensing unit includes a base insulation layer, a first touch electrode part disposed on a first surface of the base insulation layer and overlapping the first bending area to detect an external input, and a second touch electrode part disposed on a second, opposing surface of the base insulation layer and overlapping the second bending area to detect an external input. A portion of the display panel is disposed between the first folding axis and the touch sensing unit, and a portion of the touch sensing unit is disposed between the second folding axis and the display panel, when the flexible display device is bent.
