In the present embodiment, the first fastening member 12 can also have a storage position and a use position relative to the flexible display screen 11. Please refer to Figures 2A and 2B. Fig. 2A is a perspective view showing the first fastening member of Fig. 1A in the storage position. Figure 2B is a perspective view of the first fastener of Figure 1A in use position. When the first fastening component 12 is in the storage position, the first fastening component 12 is embedded in the flexible display screen 11, so that the appearance of the wearing flexible display device 10 is relatively flat and beautiful. When the first fastening component 12 is in the use position relative to the flexible display screen 11 , the first fastening component 12 extends out of the side edge of the flexible display screen 11 and can be coupled to the second fastening component 13 . Phase card is solid.

It should be noted that the structure and material of the first fastening component 12 are not intended to limit the present invention. For example, the first snap member 12 can be pivoted relative to the flexible display screen 11 through the pivot to have a storage position and a use position. In some embodiments, the first fastening component 12 can also be an elastic component, and one end of the first fastening component 12 is fixed to the flexible display screen 11. Thereby, the first fastening member 12 can also achieve the effect of being able to move relative to the flexible display screen 11 to have a storage position and a use position.

In this embodiment, the first latching member 12 is movable relative to the flexible display screen 11, but is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the first snap member 12 may also not have the function of relatively flexible display screen 11 activity. On the other hand, in other embodiments, the first latching member 12 and the second latching member 13 may be movable relative to the flexible display screen 11, or only the second latching member 13 may be opposite. Flexible display of screen 11 activity.

The control circuit 14 is disposed on the flexible display screen 11, and the control circuit 14 is electrically connected to the flexible display screen 11. Thereby, the control circuit 14 can switch the usage mode of the flexible display screen 11 according to the state of use of the flexible display screen 11. How to control the switching circuit 14 The mode of use of the flexural display screen 11 will be described in more detail in a later paragraph.

In the embodiment, the wearable flexure display device 10 further includes a power module 15 . The power module 15 is disposed on the flexible display screen 11 , and the power module 15 is coupled to the flexible display screen 11 . Thereby, the power module 15 can be used to provide the power required to flexibly display the screen 11.

In the present embodiment, the flexible display screen 11 further has a grip portion 113 adjacent to the side edge of the flexible display screen 11 (as shown in FIG. 1A). The grip portion 113 and the power module 15 of the embodiment are disposed on opposite sides of the flexible display screen 11, but are not limited thereto. The grip portion 113 protrudes from the surface of the flexible display screen 11 and has a plurality of convex structures 1130. Thereby, the grip portion 113 has a large frictional force, and the user can easily hold the wearable flexure display device 10 for operation.

Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2B, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B together. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the wearing flexure display device of Figure 1A flexing and surrounding the wearing space. Figure 3B is a schematic view of the wearable flexure display device of Figure 1A.

When the user needs to perform a general operation such as reading, the user can expand the flexible display screen 11 of the wearable flex display device 10 to the unfolded state (as shown in FIG. 1A) in the unfolded state. The flexible display screen 11 has a first display screen W1. At this point, the user can read through a larger display screen.

When the user intends to store without using the wearable flexure display device 10, the user can bend the flexible display screen 11 along the fold line 110 to the collapsed state (as shown in FIG. 1B). At this time, the control circuit 14 can switch the flexible display screen 11 so that the flexible display screen 11 has a second display screen W2.
