Abstract

A flexible display panel includes a first flexible substrate, a second flexible substrate, a display medium, and a sealant. The first flexible substrate has a plurality of non-folding areas and at least one folding area located between the non-folding areas. The non-folding areas are separated. The second flexible substrate is configured above the first flexible substrate. The display medium is configured between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate. The sealant is configured on the first flexible substrate to surround the display medium. The elasticity of the sealant in the folding area is greater than the elasticity of the sealant in the non-folding areas.
