  • Publication number: 20130265631
    Abstract: A flexible display apparatus that has improved portability and convenience of usage. The flexible display apparatus includes a display main body that is flexible; and a bendable driving film coupled to the display main body, and that bends when an electric current flows. The flexible display apparatus may be flexibly transformed to be stored when it is carried, and then, may be unfolded to be flat through a simple manipulation when it is in use for displaying an image. Thus, the convenience of carrying and using the flexible display apparatus may be increased.
