When the flexible display device 1 formed as described above is bent, a change in the shape of the bent part 111 varies according to the degree to which the touch screen part 10 is bent. The capacitance or resistance value between the first metal plate 121 and the second metal plate 122 provided along the bend 111 is varied with a variable value depending on the degree of bending. The bending position of the touch screen unit 10 is, of course, due to the difference in capacitance or resistance value between the plurality of first metal plates 121 and the second metal plates 122 disposed on the bending point B. It is possible to accurately detect the bending angle and the like.
