The maximum height of the angle structure in the first frame 101 and the second frame 102 may be greater than the height of the flexible display screen 2, and then the first area 201 and the third area 203 are located in the angle structure at both sides, and the boundary line between the first area 201 and the second area 202 and the boundary line between the third area 203 and the second area 202 are also located in the angle structure, so that the angle structure can completely accommodate both ends of the flexible display screen 2.
In another possible implementation manner, the second portion 1012 on the first frame 101 is arranged to block the first area 201, the fourth portion 1022 on the second frame 102 is arranged to block the third area 203, and neither the second portion 1012 nor the fourth portion 1022 blocks the second area 202. Can enough accommodate the both ends of flexible display screen 2 in the contained angle structure, can also reduce the regional area that flexible display screen 2 was sheltered from to this contained angle structure as far as possible, improve flexible display screen 2's utilization ratio.
For example, the maximum height of the angle structure in the first frame 101 and the second frame 102 may be equal to the height of the flexible display screen 2, so that it is ensured that the first area 201 and the third area 203 are located in the angle structure on both sides, and the boundary line between the first area 201 and the second area 202, and the boundary line between the third area 203 and the second area 202 are respectively aligned with the boundary lines of the angle structure on both sides.

By controlling the first housing 1031 or the second housing 1032 to rotate about the rotation shaft 1033, the state of the foldable device can be switched.
When the first housing 1031 and the second housing 1032 rotate about the rotation shaft 1033, the rotation angle and the rotation speed can be arbitrarily set. For example, the first housing 1031 and the second housing 1032 rotate synchronously about the rotation shaft 1033 at the same rotation angle and the same rotation speed.
Because collapsible equipment is by the in-process that the expansion state switched into fold condition, flexible display screen 2 takes place to buckle, can lead to the upper surface of flexible display screen 2 to be stretched, takes place deformation, and the both ends of flexible display screen 2 become trapezoidal form, lead to the regional area that the both ends of flexible display screen 2 were sheltered from by the frame to change. And under different folding angles, the areas of the two ends of the flexible display screen 2, which are shielded by the frame, are different.
Therefore, in order to improve screen utilization efficiency, a width matching the angle may be determined as a width of the first region 201 and a width of the third region 203 according to the angle between the first housing 1031 and the second housing 1032, thereby determining the first region 201 and the third region 203, and a region between the first region 201 and the third region 203 as the second region 202.
