A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel, a touch sensing layer on the flexible display panel, and a window on the touch sensing layer. The window may include an elastic portion and a plurality of rigid portions at a surface of the elastic portion and separated from each other. The elastic portion may be made of a soft material having elastic characteristics, and the rigid portion may be made of a hard material. The rigid portion may have a checkered pattern or a striped pattern at the surface of the elastic portion. The flexible display device may also include a barrier film at a surface of the flexible display panel. The barrier film may protect the flexible display panel and the touch sensing layer from external impacts.
