As shown in fig. 7 and 8, fig. 7 is a side view of a flexible display device according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 8 is a top view of a second support plate in the flexible display device shown in fig. 7. With reference to fig. 1, 7 and 8, the flexible display area 113 includes: a first outward bending region 1131, an inward bending region 1133, and a second outward bending region 1132, which are sequentially arranged in the first direction X.

The second support plate 13 has three third sub-regions C corresponding to the first outward bending region 1131, the inward bending region 1133, and the second outward bending region 1132, respectively. The three third sub-regions C of the second support plate 13 include a first third sub-region C1, a second third sub-region C2, and a third sub-region C3, which are sequentially arranged in the first direction X. In the first direction X, two third sub-regions C1, C3 on two sides have fourth hollow patterns.

In the third sub-regions C1 and C3 having the fourth hollow patterns, at least two end regions opposite to each other in the second direction Y have the fourth hollow patterns, so as to solve the problem of adhesive layer cohesion at the side wall edges.
In the three third sub-areas C of the second support plate 13, the middle third sub-area C2 may be a non-hollow area, and in other manners, the middle third sub-area C2 may also have a hollow pattern. The portion of the second supporting plate 13 opposite to the first planar display area 111 and the second planar display area 112 may be a non-hollow area, and in other ways, the portion may also be provided with a hollow pattern.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, in the third sub-areas C1 and C3 having the fourth hollow pattern, the fourth hollow pattern is provided in two end areas opposite to each other in the second direction Y, and a middle area between the two end areas is a non-hollow area. The fourth hollow patterns can be uniformly distributed in each end region, and the fourth hollow patterns can also be non-uniformly distributed in each end region in a gas mode. The two end regions of the first third sub-region C1 opposite to each other in the second direction Y have the fourth hollow pattern, and a middle region between the two end regions is a non-hollow region. The third sub-area C3 has the fourth hollow pattern at two opposite end areas in the second direction Y, and a middle area between the two end areas is a non-hollow area.

The lengths of the end regions and the non-hollow-out regions in the third sub-regions C1 and C3 in the second direction Y may be set based on requirements, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.
As shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a top view of a second supporting plate according to an embodiment of the present invention, in this manner, in the third sub-areas C1 and C3 where the second supporting plate 13 has the fourth hollow patterns, all of the third sub-area C and all of the third sub-area C3 have the fourth hollow patterns, the fourth hollow patterns may be uniformly distributed in the third sub-area C1 and C3, and in other manners, the fourth hollow patterns may also be non-uniformly distributed in the third sub-areas C1 and C3.
As shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is a partial enlarged view of a fourth hollow pattern provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the fourth hollow pattern includes a plurality of fourth slits K4 penetrating through the second supporting plate, and the fourth slits K4 extends along the second direction Y.
Wherein the length of the fourth slit K4 is 2.2mm, the width thereof is 0.2mm, the distance in the first direction X is 0.2mm, and the distance in the second direction Y is 0.2-0.3 mm; as mentioned above, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. It should be noted that, the size of the fourth slit and the distance between the fourth slit and the fourth slit in the first direction and the second direction may be set based on requirements, and are not limited to the values given in the embodiments of the present application.
In the flexible display device of the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the second supporting plate 13 is smaller than the thickness of the first supporting plate 12, so that in the completed state, the thinner second supporting plate 13 can be more easily bent along with the display component 10, and the cohesion problem of the optical adhesive with larger thickness between the display component 10 and the first supporting plate 12 is avoided.
In the flexible display device according to the embodiment of the present application, the hollow area of the hollow pattern in the first supporting plate 12 is at least partially covered by the second supporting plate 13. The hollow area of the hollow pattern in the first support plate 12 can be completely covered by the second support plate 13. The first supporting plate 13 at least partially covers the hollow area of the hollow pattern in the second supporting plate 13, and the first supporting plate 13 can be set to completely cover the hollow area of the hollow pattern in the second supporting plate 13. Thus, light leakage from the second surface of the flexible display device can be avoided.
As shown in fig. 1, 5, 6, 8-10, the first third sub-area C1 and the third sub-area C3 corresponding to the two outward bending areas on the second supporting plate 13 have a fourth hollow pattern, and the other parts are all non-hollow areas. Therefore, in the two plane display areas, the hollow patterns on the first supporting plate 12 can be shielded by the second supporting plate 13; in the inward bend 1133 of the flexible display area 113, the hollow pattern on the first support plate 12 can be shielded by the non-hollow area (the second third sub-area C2) of the second support plate 13. The fourth slit K4 in the first third sub-area C1 is arranged offset from the second slit K2 in the first second sub-area B1, i.e. it does not overlap, and the fourth slit K4 in the third sub-area C3 is arranged offset from the second slit K2 in the third second sub-area B1, i.e. it does not overlap, so that in the two outward bending areas, complete shading of the first support plate 12 by the second support plate 13 is achieved by the first third sub-area C1 and the third sub-area C3 shielding the second slit K2 in the first second sub-area B1 and the third second sub-area B1, respectively.
In other manners, in order to avoid light leakage in the hollow area of the hollow pattern in the first support plate 12, the hollow area of the hollow pattern in the first support plate 12 may be filled with a light-proof material, and the light-proof material may be black filling glue. The portions of the second supporting plate 13 corresponding to the two flat display areas are non-hollow areas, and can well shield the hollow areas of the first supporting plate 12 corresponding to the portions.
As shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a display module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the display module 10 includes a lower protective film 101, a flexible touch display surface 102, a polarizer 103, an adhesive layer 104, and a transparent upper protective film 105, which are sequentially stacked in a third direction. The touch display surface 102 includes any one of an OLED panel, a MINI LED panel, and a MICRO LED panel.
Referring to fig. 2 and 11, when only the first support plate 12 is disposed, the first support plate 12 is fixed to the display module 10 through a glue layer, and may be fixed to a surface of the lower protective film 101 facing away from the touch display surface 102.
