Provided are a flexible display apparatus and a method of operating the same. The flexible display apparatus includes: a display unit that displays an image and is flexible; and a sensor for detecting an approach of an object to a bent space of the display unit while the display unit is bent. The flexible display apparatus may use a proximity touch as a user interface by detecting an approach of an object, by disposing a sensor in a region adjacent to a display unit or on the display unit.
