  • Publication number: 20190165075
    Abstract: A flexible display panel (10). The flexible display panel (10) comprises a display region (12), a lead wire region (14), and at least one electronic element (18, 182, 184). The lead wire region (14) is connected to the display region (12). The electronic element (18, 182, 184) is disposed in a corner of the lead wire region (14). A lead wire (142) used for connecting the display region (12) and an electronic element (18, 182, 184) is formed in the lead wire region (14). In the flexible panel (10), the electronic element (18, 182, 184) is disposed in the corner of the lead wire region (14), so that a bendable region in the flexible display panel (10) is larger, thereby improving freedom of product design, and eliminating the design limitation caused by the electronic element (18, 182, 184) incapable of being bent.
