The embodiment of the present invention discloses a flexible display panel which comprises a flexible substrate comprising a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area comprises a peripheral circuit area and an edge area, wherein the peripheral circuit area surrounds the display area, and the edge area surrounds the peripheral circuit area. At least one inorganic layer is arranged on the flexible substrate, and a metal layer is arranged on the surface of the inorganic layer of the flexible substrate in the edge area. According to the flexible display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the metal layer on the surface of the inorganic layer of the flexible substrate in the edge area, a crack can be prevented from extending towards a film layer above the metal layer, an extension path of the crack is blocked, the crack is prevented from extending to the whole flexible display panel longitudinally, and the permeation paths of the water vapor and the oxygen from the crack are blocked.
