Abstract
A flexible touch sensing unit includes a substrate including a plane region and a bending region, a plurality of sensing electrodes disposed on the substrate, a plurality of sensing lines surrounding the plurality of sensing electrodes and electrically connected to the plurality of sensing electrodes, and a damage prevention layer disposed in the bending region. Cracks on the sensing electrodes and the sensing lines which are disposed in the bending region may be prevented by the damage prevention layer in the bending region. A resulting flexible display device using the flexible touch sensing unit may be thinner by omission of a flexibility enhancing layer.
