Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus () comprising a flexible display () with a front surface and a back surface, wherein the back surface is provided with an adhered layer of an elastic material () for dissipating external pressure applied to the front surface. The thickness of the elastic material is optimized to provide sufficient resistance to external pressure on one hand, and to ensure that the plane of a weakest layer of the display device substantially coincides with the neutral line. Connecting the display and the layer of elastic material () using an adhesive prevents small particles to enter an area between the layer () and the back surface of the display.
