A method for manufacturing a flexible display, includes forming a gate line including a plurality of gate electrodes with a first interval on a substrate having a coefficient of thermal expansion, sequentially depositing both a gate insulating layer covering the gate line and a semiconductor layer, etching the semiconductor layer by using a mask having a plurality of semiconductor patterns with a second interval different from the first interval to form a semiconductor, forming both a data line including a source electrode and a drain electrode on the semiconductor and the gate insulating layer, and forming a pixel electrode coupled with the drain electrode.
