A flexible display includes a flexible substrate that includes an active area, a pad area extending from the active area, and a bend allowance section extending from the pad area. A first buffer layer is disposed on the flexible substrate and includes at least three layers. A first insulation layer is disposed on the first buffer layer in the pad area, a gate line is disposed on the first insulation layer and extends from the active area to the pad area, a second insulation layer is disposed on the gate line in the pad area, a connection line is electrically connected to the gate line, and a second buffer layer covers the connection line. A top layer among the at least three layers of the first buffer layer is disposed in the active area and the pad area, a lower layer which is in contact with the top layer extends to the bend allowance section and a thickness of the lower layer bend allowance section is less than a thickness of the lower layer in the other areas. A portion of the connection line is disposed on the second insulation layer in the pad area, and another portion of the connection line is disposed on the lower layer in the bend allowance section.
