A support for supporting a flexible component is provided. A flexible component support can be folded without decreasing the reliability of the flexible component. The support has a region where two different hinges overlap each other, and bending operation in the region can be performed only in one direction from a flat surface state. Accordingly, even in the case where unintended bending stress is applied to the region in an opposite direction, the flexible component or the support can be protected. In addition, the two hinges can each include position correction mechanism, which enables stable bending operation.
