隨著顯示技術的發展,曲面顯示器與可撓式顯示器的需求日益提高,且應用層更為廣泛。一般而言,曲面顯示器的曲面螢幕大多設定為固定曲率,故較難對曲面螢幕進行大幅度的彎折。另一方面,常見的可撓式顯示器概分為內折(inward folding)設計與外折(outward folding)設計,其可撓式螢幕概分為兩個側翼部與位於所述個兩側翼部之間的彎折部。在可撓式螢幕彎折的過程中,所述兩側翼部始終處於平展狀態,僅有彎折部產生彎折或平展等動作,以令可撓式顯示器進行180度的開合。因此,常見的可撓式顯示器較無法滿足多向彎折(universal folding)的需求。另外,常見的可撓式顯示器的翻折大多採手動完成,故操作便利性不佳。With the development of display technology, the demand for curved displays and flexible displays is increasing, and the application layers are more extensive. Generally speaking, most of the curved screens of curved monitors are set to have a fixed curvature, so it is difficult to bend the curved screen to a large extent. On the other hand, a common flexible display is generally divided into an inward folding design and an outward folding design. the bend in between. During the bending process of the flexible screen, the wings on both sides are always in a flat state, and only the bending portion is bent or flattened, so that the flexible display can be opened and closed by 180 degrees. Therefore, conventional flexible displays are less able to meet the requirements of universal folding. In addition, the folding of common flexible displays is mostly done manually, so the operation convenience is not good.

當第一連桿151旋轉時,第二連桿152的第三端152a相對於第一連桿151的第二端151b旋轉並往支架110移動。同時,第二連桿152的第四端152b與支架110間的距離隨第一連桿151的旋轉而縮短,進而帶動支撐結構120產生相應的運動。或者是,當第一連桿151旋轉時,第二連桿152的第三端152a相對於第一連桿151的第二端151b旋轉並移動遠離支架110。同時,第二連桿152的第四端152b與支架110間的距離隨第一連桿151的旋轉而增加,進而帶動支撐結構120產生相應的運動。When the
在一實施例中,第一鉸鏈塊121、第三鉸鏈塊123、第一支撐桿124以及第三支撐桿126的數量個別為一個。第一鉸鏈塊121位於支架110與所述多個第二鉸鏈塊122之間,且所述多個第二鉸鏈122塊位於第一鉸鏈塊121與第三鉸鏈塊123之間。一個第二鉸鏈塊122可轉動地連接第一鉸鏈塊121,且第三鉸鏈塊123可轉動地連接另一個第二鉸鏈塊122。另外,彈簧127的兩端分別連接第三鉸鏈塊123與第三支撐桿126。In one embodiment, the number of the
在另一實施例中,第一鉸鏈塊121與第三鉸鏈塊123的數量個別為一個,且第一支撐桿124與第三支撐桿126的數量個別為多個。舉例來說,所述多個第一支撐桿124滑接於同一個第一鉸鏈塊121上,且所述多個第三支撐桿126滑接於同一個第三鉸鏈塊123上。In another embodiment, the number of the
綜上所述,在本發明的可撓顯示器中,第一連桿作為驅動桿,用以受驅動件的帶動而旋轉。另一方面,第二連桿、第三連桿以及第四連桿作為從動連桿,且第三連桿與第四連桿樞接於支撐機構。當驅動件帶動第一連桿旋轉時,第一連桿透過第二連桿帶動第三連桿與第四連桿旋轉與移動,以帶動支撐機構與貼合於支撐機構上的可撓式螢幕產生相應的變形。在一模式下,可撓式螢幕形成曲面螢幕,以提供單一面向的顯像與環繞視野。在另一模式下,可撓式螢幕形成第一平面螢幕區段、彎曲螢幕區段以及第二平面螢幕區段,以提供至少三個不同面向的顯像。也就是說,本發明的可撓顯示器能滿足多向彎折的需求。另外,馬達可提供翻折支撐機構與可撓式螢幕的驅動力,免去使用者手動翻折支撐機構與可撓式螢幕的步驟,據以提高操作便利性。To sum up, in the flexible display of the present invention, the first link is used as a driving rod to be driven by the driving member to rotate. On the other hand, the second link, the third link and the fourth link serve as driven links, and the third link and the fourth link are pivotally connected to the support mechanism. When the driving element drives the first link to rotate, the first link drives the third link and the fourth link to rotate and move through the second link, so as to drive the support mechanism and the flexible screen attached to the support mechanism produce the corresponding deformation. In one mode, the flexible screen forms a curved screen to provide a single-sided display and surround view. In another mode, the flexible screen forms a first flat screen section, a curved screen section, and a second flat screen section to provide at least three different oriented displays. That is to say, the flexible display of the present invention can meet the requirement of multi-directional bending. In addition, the motor can provide the driving force for the folding support mechanism and the flexible screen, so that the user is not required to manually fold the supporting mechanism and the flexible screen, thereby improving operational convenience.
