Referring to fig. 22, fig. 22 is a second schematic view illustrating a flexible display in an extended state in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 10 may further comprise a support structure 17, the flexible display 12 may be arranged on the support structure 17, and when the flexible display 12 extends from the main body 11, the support structure 17 extends to follow the flexible display 12, i.e. the support structure 17 may extend in the extending direction of the flexible display 12. When the flexible display 12 is unfolded, the support structure 17 restricts the flexible display 12 to the unfolded state. It should be noted that the support structure 17 may be supported on the non-display side of the flexible display 12 to ensure that the flexible display 12 is stretched. It should be noted that when the flexible display 12 is received in the main body 11, the support structure 17 may be received in the main body 11.

Referring to fig. 23, fig. 23 is a third schematic view illustrating a flexible display in an extended state in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The support structure 17 may include a support portion 171 and a telescopic portion 172. The support portion 171 and the extensible portion 172 are extensible and contractible with each other, and the length of the support portion 171 and the extensible portion 172 in the extended state is longer than the length in the contracted state. For example, the support 171 may be provided with a telescopic groove 173, and the telescopic groove 173 may be formed from one end of the support 171. One end of the expansion part 172 can expand and contract from one end of the support part 171 into the expansion groove 173 of the support part 171, so that the expansion part 172 and the support part 171 are accommodated together to form an expansion and contraction state. The expansion/contraction part 172 may be completely housed in the support part 171 or may be partially housed in the support part 171. The expansion part 172 can be extended from the support part 171 to be in a stretched state.

One end of the supporting portion 171 may be fixedly connected with the main body 11, such as by a pin, and the supporting portion 171 may rotate relative to the main body 11 to achieve the rotatable connection between the supporting portion 171 and the main body 11. One end of the telescopic portion 172 may be fixedly connected to the flexible display 12, such as by a pin, a hinge, or the like, and the telescopic portion 172 may move relative to the flexible display 12, so as to movably connect the telescopic portion 172 and the flexible display 172. Wherein one end of the telescopic part 172 may be connected to an edge position of the flexible display 12, such as the telescopic part 172 may be connected to the first corner 123 of the flexible display 12. It should be noted that the expansion part 172 may also be connected to the second corner 124 of the flexible display 12, and the expansion part 172 may also be connected between the first corner 123 and the second corner 124.

Thus, when the flexible display 12 protrudes from the inside of the main body to the outside of the main body 11, the supporting portion 171 and the expansion portion 172 are mutually stretched to be expanded, so that the supporting portion 171 and the expansion portion 172 jointly support the flexible display 12. Or the flexible display 12 moves from the inside of the main body 11 to the outside of the main body 11, the flexible display 12 moves together with the support structure 17, and the support portion 171 and the expansion portion 172 of the support structure 17 perform an expansion movement with each other as the flexible display 12 moves toward the outside of the main body 11. During the movement of the flexible display 12 toward the outside of the main body 11, the position where the support part 171 is coupled to the main body 11 rotates, the position where the telescopic part 172 is coupled to the flexible display 12 rotates, and the telescopic part 172 gradually protrudes from the telescopic groove 173 of the support part 171. Thereby, the telescopic portion 172 and the supporting portion 171 can be commonly supported on the non-display surface of the flexible display 12 to define the extended state of the flexible display 12.

When the flexible display 12 is received into the main body 11 from outside the main body 11, the supporting portion 171 and the expansion portion 172 contract with each other to be received together. During the movement of the flexible display 12 from the outside of the main body 11 toward the inside of the main body 11, the position where the telescopic part 172 is coupled to the flexible display 12 moves, the telescopic part 172 gradually contracts in the telescopic groove 173 of the support part 171, and the position where the support part 171 is coupled to the main body 11 rotates. When the display area of the flexible display 12 is completely received in the main body 11, the expansion part 172 may be contracted in the receiving groove 173 of the supporting part 171, and the supporting part 171 may be received in the main body 11.

Thus, the support structure 17 can move following the movement of the flexible display 12, and can realize the support of the flexible display 12 when the flexible display 12 is extended out of the main body 11 and the accommodation of the flexible display 12 in the main body 11 when the flexible display 12 is accommodated in the main body 11. The support structure 17 can be extended or retracted together with the flexible display 12 without manual control. The support structure 17 can not only ensure effective support of the flexible display 12 extending out of the main body 11, but also prevent deformation of the flexible display 12. The flexible display 12 can also realize telescopic movement without additional control of a user, and the use is greatly convenient for the user.

It should be noted that the end of the support structure 17 connected to the flexible display 12 is not limited to be movably connected, but may also be detachably connected, such as the expansion portion 172 being detachably and fixedly connected to the flexible display 12, and the expansion portion 172 being fixed to the flexible display 12 or being detachable from the flexible display 12. The support structure 17 is detachably connected to the flexible display 12, so that different options can be provided for a user, and when the user needs to support the flexible display 12 by using the support structure 17, the user can select to support the flexible display 12 by using the support structure 17. When the user uses the display device, the support structure 17 is not needed to support the flexible display 12, and the support structure 17 is not needed to support the flexible display 12, so that resources can be saved.

It should be noted that the connecting end of the supporting structure 17 and the main body 11 is not limited to the rotatable connection, but may be detachably connected, such as the supporting portion 171 and the main body 11 are detachably and fixedly connected, and the supporting portion 171 may be fixed on the main body 11 or detachable from the main body 11. The support structure 17 can be removed from the body 11 according to different needs, such as weight reduction, need for replacement of a new support structure, etc.

It is understood that the number of the supporting portions 171 and the expansion portions 172 is not limited to one. Such as one supporting portion 171, at least two expansion portions 172, and at least two expansion portions 172 being mutually expandable and contractible. One of the telescopic parts 172 is fixedly connected to the supporting part 171, and one of the telescopic parts 172 is connected to the flexible display 12. For another example: two support portions 171, one telescopic portion 172, two support portions 171 connected to both ends of the telescopic portion 172, two support portions 171 movable relative to the telescopic portion 172, one support portion 171 connectable to the main body 11, and the other support portion 171 connectable to the flexible display 12.

It should also be noted that when the end of the support structure 17 to which the flexible display 12 is attached is removably attached, the support structure 17 may not be telescopic. It will be appreciated that the detachable connection of the support structure 17 and the flexible display 12 may be achieved by means of manual control, without the support structure 17 following the movement of the flexible display 12.

Referring to fig. 24, fig. 24 is a fourth schematic view illustrating a flexible display in an extended state in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The support structure 17 may be a rod-like structure, such as the support structure 17 being a support rod 17. One end of the support bar 17 is rotatably connected with the main body 11, and can be detachably connected. One end of the support bar 17 is detachably connected to the flexible display 12. When the flexible display 12 moves from inside the main body 11 to outside the main body 11, one end of the support rod 17 and the flexible display 12 may be fixedly coupled together to support the flexible display 12. When the flexible display 12 needs to be accommodated in the main body 11 from outside the main body 11, one end of the support rod 17 connected to the flexible display 12 can be removed, and the flexible display 12 and the support rod 17 can be accommodated in the main body 11.

A different extending operation may be that the processor 182 controls the first driving mechanism 14 to drive the rotating shaft 13 through several movements so that at least two sub-display regions of the flexible display 12 extend out of the main body 11. It should be noted that the extending operation may also be the processor 182 detecting that at least one sub-display region of the flexible display 12 extends out of the main body 11.

It should be noted that the extending operation is not limited to this, and the extending operation may also be a touch operation, such as an operation on a display of the electronic device 10, which may be a click operation, a long-press operation, a slide operation, or the like.
