A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel, a plurality of supports on a first surface of the flexible display panel, the plurality of supports being spaced apart from each other, and an actuator on the first surface of the flexible display panel, the actuator being between the supports. The actuator includes an electroactive polymer layer, and a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer that are respectively arranged on an upper surface and a lower surface of the electroactive polymer layer, and the actuator having a property such that when a voltage is applied to the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, an area of the electroactive polymer layer is changed.
