Abstract

The invention provides a flexible display panel and a display apparatus including the flexible display panel. The flexible display panel includes: a flexible substrate including a first region, second regions that extend from the first region and that have a curved surface, and a third region folded towards the second regions; a first display region in the first region of the flexible substrate; a second display region in the second regions of the flexible substrate; a plurality of non-display regions outside the first display region or the second display regions, wherein at least one of the plurality of non-display regions is in the third region of the flexible substrate; and an encapsulation member for encapsulating the first display region and the second display regions. The flexible display panel greatly reduces ratio of non-display regions to display regions identified by users via the design of adding the curved surface.
