The curvature adjusting unit 130 may have a cylindrical shape. However, the shape of the curvature adjusting unit 130 may vary depending on the shape of the cylindrical shape, the conical shape, or the like having a polygonal cross-section.

For example, when the radius R of the curvature adjuster 130 is large, the curvature 1 / R has a small value, and when the radius R is small, the curvature has a large value. Accordingly, when the radius R of the curvature adjusting unit 130 is small, the curvature of the curvature adjusting unit 130 increases, and the degree of bending or folding of the flexible organic light emitting device 200 becomes large.
