Please refer to fig. 1 first. Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a wearable device disclosed in the present invention. In the present invention, the wearable device 1 is a ring structure, which is similar to a bracelet that can be fitted around the wrist or arm of the user, and can be used as an accessory or a bendable screen of the wearable device with a foldable screen to replace a mobile phone or a tablet computer to perform the required screen display function.

In fig. 1, the wearable device 1 is composed of a hollow ring structure 10 and a foldable screen 20, wherein the hollow ring structure 10 has a first ring body 102 and a second ring body 104, and the hollow ring structure 10 can allow the arm of the user to pass through a hollow structure 1022 of the first ring body 102 and a hollow structure 1042 of the second ring body 104, so as to wear the wearable device 1 with the foldable screen on the hand.

The bendable screen 20 is a curved screen, which is annularly disposed between the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 of the hollow annular structure 10, and has a first end and a second end, so that the first end and the second end of the bendable screen 20 are respectively annularly disposed on the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104, and because the screen is flexible, the bendable screen 20 can be folded and accommodated in the accommodating opening 110 (as shown in fig. 2B) of the first annular body 102 or the second annular body along with the closing of the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 of the hollow annular structure 10; or between the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 102 (as shown in fig. 3) as the first annular body 102 of the hollow annular structure 10 is expanded relative to the second annular body 102.

The bendable screen 20 used in the present invention includes a first metal layer 202 and an electronic device function layer 204, wherein the first metal layer 202 is disposed on the first annular body 102, and the first metal layer 202 is a substrate of the bendable screen 20. And an electronic device functional layer 204 disposed on the first metal layer 202. It should be noted that the structure, function and manufacturing process of the bendable screen 20 used in the present invention are the same as those of the conventional bendable screen 20, and the structure, function and manufacturing process of each structure are not the technical features discussed in the present invention, and therefore, not set forth herein.

Please continue to refer to fig. 1. A layer of gold 40 is further formed on the second annular body 104 of the hollow annular structure 10. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the whole hollow ring structure 10 (including the first ring body 102 and the second ring body 104) may be made of gold as its main material, which is a concept similar to a gold bracelet worn on the wrist, or the hollow ring structure 10 may be made of other materials such as silver or jade, and then the outer surfaces of the first ring body 102 and the second ring body 104 are plated with a layer of gold 40, however, the gold layer 40 described in the present application may be replaced by other metals commonly used for jewelry, and is not limited to gold.

Please refer to fig. 2A and fig. 2B. Fig. 2A is a schematic view showing the wearable device folded, and fig. 2B is a schematic view showing the wearable device unfolded with a slit. In fig. 2A, a combination member 120 is disposed on the corresponding side surfaces of the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104, and when the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 are closed and the foldable screen 20 is folded and can be accommodated in the receiving opening 110 of the first annular body 102 or the second annular body 104, the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 are combined together by the combination member 120, in the present invention, the combination member 120 may be a magnet, the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 are combined together by using the principle of magnetic attraction, and when the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 are to be unfolded, the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 that are originally combined together can be easily separated by using one hand.

In fig. 2B, since one or more of decorative accessories such as jade, diamond, crystal, jade, or ceramic may be disposed on the hollow ring structure 10 of the wearable device 1 having the foldable screen, but not limited thereto. When the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 are slightly unfolded and have a slit L, the wearable device 1 can expose the display area of the bendable screen 20, and can show different embedded states according to different light emitting colors of the bendable screen 20, so that the wearable device 1 can be shaped and sometimes feel.

Please refer to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the wearable device when it is expanded to present a curved screen. In fig. 3, when the first ring body 102 and the second ring body 104 of the hollow ring structure 20 of the wearable device 1 are unfolded toward the left and right sides of the drawing, the bendable screen 20 between the first ring body 102 and the second ring body 104 is also unfolded along with the unfolding of the first ring body 102 and the second ring body 104. Therefore, the width of the bendable screen 20 between the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 varies with the width of the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104, and the size of the window displayed on the bendable screen 20 is also adjusted with the width of the bendable screen 20 between the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104.

It should be noted that the bendable screen 20 is disposed between the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104, and the window frame displayed on the bendable screen 20 covers the whole curved surface of the bendable screen 20. Therefore, after the bendable screen 20 is unfolded, the bendable screen 20 between the first annular body 102 and the second annular body 104 is a large curved screen, which can replace some functions of the mobile phone for the user to use conveniently.

The wearable device can be combined with an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer and the like, or an ornament, and the wearable device can replace some functions of the electronic device or enable the ornament to have the function of a display screen.

The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention; while the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof, and the scope thereof is determined by the claims that follow.
