A flexible display ( 10 ) comprising a display, such as an electroluminescent (EL) panel, arranged to change appearance on application of an electric field; a display electrode ( 15 ) on a surface of the display shaped so as to define a display area; an insulating layer ( 16 ) covering the electrode; and a conducting track ( 17 ) provided on the insulating layer; in which at least one gap ( 16 a) is provided in the insulating layer, the conducting track contacts the electrode through the or each gap and in which the or each gap is placed substantially outside a region of the display which is to be flexed. Furthermore, or alternatively, the conducting track may contact the electrode through the or each gap ( 16 a) and cover substantially the entire area of the or each gap. The display may also or alternatively comprise a plurality of display electrodes on a surface of the display shaped so as to define a plurality of display areas; in which a plurality of gaps are provided in the insulating layer, the conducting track contacts the electrodes through the gaps, with the conducting track comprising a plurality of segments ( 60, 61 ) each contacting one electrode and contacting each other at one or more junctions, and in which the or each junction is not over a gap.
