Abstract: A flexible display device is disclosed. The flexible display device includes a first body, a second body, a flexible display, and a first cover. The second body performs reciprocating movement between a first position and a second position relative to the first body. The flexible display includes a first region, a first connected region, and a second connected region. When the second body is at the first position, the first cover covers the second connected region and forms a rear surface of the flexible display device. When switching between the first position and the second position is made, the user may hold the flexible display device in contact with the first region and the first cover.

Abstract: The flexible display device includes a body, a flexible display, and a camera. The body includes a first body and a second body. The second body performs reciprocating movement relative to the first body between a first position and a second position. An area of the flexible display viewed from the front is larger when the second body is at the second position than when the second body is at the first position. When the second body is at the first position, the distance from a support to an edge of a third region is greater than the distance from the support to the camera. Accordingly, a range (stroke) of movement of the second body relative to the first body can be increased. In addition, when the second body is at the second position, the area of the flexible display viewed from the front can be increased.
