1. A flexible display device comprising:
a protection component;
a window;
a display component disposed between the protection component and the window, the display component comprising a plurality of light emitting areas and a non-light emitting area adjacent to the plurality of light emitting areas;
a first adhesion layer to couple the display component to the protection component; and
a second adhesion layer to couple the display component to the window,
wherein the display component comprises:
a display panel comprising a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface; and
a touch sensing layer directly disposed on the second surface without an adhesive layer therebetween and comprising a third surface contacting the second surface and a fourth surface opposing the third surface, and
wherein:
a thickness of the display component between the first surface and the fourth surface is about 30 μm to about 50 μm and is less than a sum of thicknesses of the protection component and the window;
the display panel comprises a base layer providing the first surface and an uppermost inorganic layer providing the second surface; and
the touch sensing layer comprises an uppermost insulating layer providing the fourth surface.
