硅胶垫6为中空结构，硅胶垫6的内部用于布置电路，以对电路起到隐藏的效果。
链状结构4包括多个磁铁41和铰链42，本实施例中，各个磁铁41通过各个铰链42连接形成链状结构4。
在本实施例中，多个磁铁41为电磁铁41；其中，在显示模块3为伸展状态时，多个电磁铁41为通电状态，多个电磁铁41彼此吸引。在显示模块3为卷绕状态时，多个电磁铁41可以为不通电状态，此时，多个电磁铁41没有磁性，多个电磁铁41彼此分开。当然，在显示模块3为卷绕状态时，多个电磁铁41也可以为通电状态，此时，相邻电磁铁41的接触处磁性相反，相邻电磁铁41相互排斥彼此分开。
柔性显示器还包括控制器5，控制器5设置在壳体1内部，控制器5分别与电机模块2和多个电磁铁41电性连接；控制器5用于控制电机模块2转动，还用于根据电机模块2的转动角度控制多个电磁铁41的通电状态。通电状态包括电流的大小、电流的方向。可以理解地，电流越大，电磁铁41所具有的磁性越大，相邻的电磁铁41的吸引力越大，电流的方向改变，电磁铁41的磁性改变，从而使相邻的电磁铁41相互排斥。
各个电磁铁41分别与控制器5电性连接，从而控制器5分别控制各个电磁铁41的通电状态。
请参阅图2和图5，图5是本申请提供的柔性显示器的一实施例的流程示意图。
本实施例的显示方法是针对于上述实施例的柔性显示器。显示方法的步骤包括：
S101：电机模块2通电开始转动。
电机模块2可以包括电机21和卷筒22；卷筒22与电机21的输出端连接，当电机21工作时，电机21带动卷筒22转动，显示模块3与卷筒22连接，从而使显示模块3在重力方向上于卷绕状态和伸展状态两种模式下切换。
S102：显示模块3由电机模块2驱动在重力方向上伸展开，多个磁铁41相互吸引以彼此固定。
在显示模块3为伸展状态时，多个磁铁41随显示模块3在重力方向上伸展开来，多个磁铁41彼此吸引、相互固定，以形成一个平板，从而对显示模块3起到一个支撑的效果，另外，多个磁铁41通过自身的重力对显示模块3进行拉直，以保证显示模块3的平整度。在显示模块3为卷绕状态时，多个磁铁41彼此相对转动以实现分开的目的，从而随显示模块3卷绕在一起，收纳于壳体1中。可以理解地，磁铁41可以是永磁铁，磁铁41也可以是电磁铁。
S103：显示模块3显示信息。
显示模块3根据数据输入的信息进行显示。
请参阅图6，图6是本申请提供的柔性显示器的另一实施例的流程示意图。
本实施例的显示方法是针对于上述实施例的柔性显示器。显示方法的步骤包括：
S201：电机模块2通电开始转动。
电机模块2可以包括电机21和卷筒22；卷筒22与电机21的输出端连接，当电机21工作时，电机21带动卷筒22转动，显示模块3与卷筒22连接，从而使显示模块3在重力方向上于卷绕状态和伸展状态两种模式下切换。
S202：显示模块3由电机模块2驱动在重力方向上伸展开。
在显示模块3为伸展状态时，多个磁铁41随显示模块3在重力方向上伸展开来，多个磁铁41彼此吸引、相互固定，以形成一个平板，从而对显示模块3起到一个支撑的效果，另外，多个磁铁41通过自身的重力对显示模块3进行拉直，以保证显示模块3的平整度。在显示模块3为卷绕状态时，多个磁铁41彼此相对转动以实现分开的目的，从而随显示模块3卷绕在一起，收纳于壳体1中。在本实施例中磁铁41是电磁铁。
S203：控制器5根据电机模块2的转动角度控制多个电磁铁41的通电状态。
柔性显示器还包括控制器5，控制器5设置在壳体1内部，控制器5分别与电机模块2和多个电磁铁41电性连接；控制器5用于控制电机模块2转动，还用于根据电机模块2的转动角度控制多个电磁铁41的通电状态。通电状态包括电流的大小、电流的方向。可以理解地，电流越大，电磁铁41所具有的磁性越大，相邻的电磁铁41的吸引力越大，电流的方向改变，电磁铁41的磁性改变，从而使相邻的电磁铁41相互排斥。
例如，在多个电磁铁41逐渐伸展开的过程中，电流逐渐增大，从而使多个电磁铁41在完全伸展开后，有足够的吸引力保证彼此的磁铁41相互不旋转。
各个电磁铁41分别与控制器5电性连接，从而控制器5分别控制各个电磁铁41的通电状态，从而达到精确控制各个电磁铁41的目的。
例如，在多个电磁铁41逐渐伸展开的过程中，先从壳体1伸出的电磁铁41的电流先逐渐增大，从而使先伸出的电磁铁41有足够的吸引力吸引在一起以保证先伸出的磁铁41相互不旋转。
链状结构4中的每个电磁铁41都可以由控制器5单独控制极性，电磁铁41的极性与电机21的转动角度互相配合。使用时，控制器5控制电机模块2转动，卷筒22带动扰性基板32，扰性基板32穿过壳体1开口，在重力平面内形成伸展状态；然后，控制器5给各个电磁铁41发出电信号，使电磁铁41获得相吸磁性，各个电磁铁41相互吸引，进而使显示模块3获得刚性。当使用结束时，控制器5给电机模块2发出信号，电机模块2带动扰性基板32转动，这个转动方向与伸展状态时的转动方向相反；同时，控制器5根据相应的转角，给电磁铁41发出电信号，使即将卷绕在卷筒22上面的电磁铁41获得相斥磁性，从而使显示模块3和链状结构4获得柔性，便于卷曲收容。在显示模块3在刚性与柔性状态之间互相转换时。
S204：显示模块3显示信息。
显示模块3根据数据输入的信息进行显示。
