Methods, systems, and apparatus, for shielding a bending portion of a flexible display that can be incorporated in electronic devices. One of the apparatus includes a cover glass element; a driver integrated circuit (D-IC); a mandrel portion; a shaft portion; a panel, positioned between the cover glass element and the D-IC, and comprising an inner panel layer that wraps around at least a portion of the mandrel portion to form a bending portion of the panel, the panel attached on either side on the shaft portion; and a shielding layer positioned around the inner panel layer and configured to inhibit electromagnetic signals through the bending portion.
