It is understood that in some embodiments, the second housing 240 may serve as a fixed end, and the first housing 220 may serve as a movable end, and the touch module 280 may be disposed on the second housing 240 serving as a fixed end.
In some embodiments, the touch module 280 may include an active electrostatic sensing component, where the active electrostatic sensing component is fixedly disposed on the first housing 220, and the flexible display module is provided with a capacitive sensor, and the capacitive sensor is used for sensing a trigger signal of the active electrostatic sensing component to generate a touch signal. The flexible display module 260 may be provided with a capacitive sensor entirely or in a portion folded into the first housing, and the capacitive sensor may include a plurality of capacitive elements arranged in a grid shape.
Specifically, the flexible display module 260 may be a capacitive touch screen, the capacitive touch screen may detect a position of a touch point of a user touching the capacitive touch screen, the touch module 280 may be an active electrostatic sensing component, and the active electrostatic sensing component uses an active electrostatic sensing technology, (Active Electrostatic Solution, abbreviated as AES) to realize touch control on the capacitive touch screen, and referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a touch control principle of the active electrostatic sensing component according to the embodiment of the present application.

Along with the change of the distance between the touch end 2821 of the electromagnetic induction component 282 and the electromagnetic induction plate, the resonance circuit of the electromagnetic induction component 282 can store weak electric energy within the magnetic field range generated by the electromagnetic induction plate. When the electromagnetic assembly 282 accumulates energy, the control circuit will cease supplying current to the circulating coil and switch the circulating coil on to the receiving circuit. At this time, the energy accumulated in the electromagnetic induction component 282 is transferred from the electromagnetic induction component 282 back to the electromagnetic induction board through the free oscillation of the resonant circuit. After energy is transmitted back to the electromagnetic induction plate, the control loop initially detects the approximate position of the electromagnetic induction element by scanning the circulating coils on the electromagnetic induction plate, then scans a plurality of circulating coils around the electromagnetic induction element, calculates detected signals, and can accurately calculate the position information of the touch point of the electromagnetic induction element.
It can be appreciated that, when the touch module 280 is disposed on the first housing 220, in order to improve the touch effect, the touch end 2821 of the touch module 280 may be disposed towards the display surface of the flexible display module 260.
