The disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a flexible display panel and a flexible display panel. Wherein the method comprises: binding a flexible substrate with a supporting column matrix on a supporting plate, and fixing the flexible substrate with the supporting plate by a sealant in vacuum, wherein the sealant is disposed at the edge of the supporting column matrix, such that the supporting column matrix is surrounded in a sealed space formed by the sealant, the supporting plate and the flexible substrate; forming a flexible display panel on the flexible substrate; and cutting the supporting plate and the flexible display panel along the inner side of the sealant, such that the flexible display panel separating with the supporting plate. Thus, the flexible substrate can be separated from the supporting plate without damaging devices disposed on the flexible substrate.
