         2 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein when viewed from a direction substantially perpendicular to the supporting portion, the display driver integrated circuit and the adhesive member are disposed in different areas. 
     
     
         3 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein at least part of the sidewall includes metal. 
     
     
         4 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member sticks on one side of the supporting portion with the second display portion. 
     
     
         5 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member is located outside of a transistor layer included in the flexible display. 
     
     
         6 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member has a thickness corresponding to a gap between the flexible display and the supporting portion. 
     
     
         7 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member includes pressure sensitive adhesive. 
     
     
         8 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member reduces a contact of the bending portion and the supporting portion. 
     
     
         9 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member reduces accumulation of foreign material on the supporting portion. 
     
     
         10 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a shielding member covering at least a part of the second display portion, at least a part of the film member, at least part of the display driver integrated circuit, and at least part of the flexible printed circuit board.   
     
     
         11 . The portable communication device of  claim 10 , wherein the adhesive member is disposed between the supporting portion and a peripheral portion of the shielding member, wherein the peripheral portion is adjacent to the side wall. 
     
     
         12 . The portable communication device of  claim 10 , wherein a peripheral portion of the shielding member is disposed between the supporting portion and the adhesive member, wherein the peripheral portion is adjacent to the first side wall. 
     
     
         13 . The portable communication device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the adhesive member sticks one side of the supporting portion with the peripheral portion of the shielding member.   
     
     
         14 . The portable communication device of  claim 11 , wherein the adhesive member has a thickness corresponding to a gap between the peripheral portion of the shielding member and the supporting portion.
