Abstract

A flexible display apparatus includes a substrate, a thin film encapsulation layer, a plurality of spacers, and at least one layer of a blocking dam in the non-display region. The substrate includes a display region having a plurality of pixels and a non-display region adjacent to the display region. The thin film encapsulation layer is over the substrate. The spacers are between the substrate and the thin film encapsulation layer and are arranged around a pixel region. A different arrangement of spacers are in a center region and an edge region of the display region. The different arrangement may correspond to at least one of a size and a number of the spacers.
