Abstract

A bend sensor for a flexible display panel is provided. The bend sensor includes plural detecting electrodes and a controlling circuit. The plural detecting electrodes are disposed on a touch panel. The touch panel is attached on the flexible display panel. The plural detecting electrodes generate plural detecting signals according to a change of an electric field or a magnetic field. The controlling circuit receives the plural detecting signals and judges a bending status of the flexible display panel according to the plural detecting signals.
