In addition, in some embodiments, the first top plate 122 may include a support layer (not shown) and a magnetic layer (not shown) disposed on the support layer. The second part 14 moves away from the first part 12 to move away from each other. When the display portion 301 of the flexible display screen 32 is expanded, the flexible support 34 can be attached to the magnetic layer, which can also further reduce the misalignment or movement of the flexible display screen assembly 30 during operation to improve the user's operating experience. At the same time, in such an embodiment, it is not necessary that the entire first top plate 122 is made of a magnetic material, but only the magnetic layer is made of a magnetic material, thereby saving manufacturing costs. It can be understood that, in such an embodiment, one of the flexible support 34 and the magnetic layer has permanent magnetism, and the other one may also have permanent magnetism or not have permanent magnetism, which is not specifically limited.

Referring to FIGS. 5, 7 and 8, the limiting member 40 is rotatably arranged in the accommodating space 120 of the first part 12 and exposed from the first opening 1222, and the middle part of the flexible display assembly 30 is arranged around the limiting member 40 on.

The two parts 14 move away from the first part 12 to drive the flexible display assembly 30 to move, thereby expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display 32.

In addition, referring to Figures 5 and 7, in the embodiment, the drive mechanism 70 can also be connected to the reel 20. When the drive mechanism 70 drives the second part 14 to move away from the first part 12, the drive mechanism 70 can also At the same time, the reel 20 is driven to rotate to release the flexible display screen assembly 30, thereby expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30.

Specifically, the driving mechanism 70 may include a motor 71, a first transmission structure 72 and a second transmission structure 74, and the motor 71 may be fixedly arranged in the accommodating space 120 of the first part 12. The first transmission structure 72 is connected to the second part 14 and the motor 71. The second transmission structure 74 is connected to the first transmission structure 74 and the reel 20. The motor 71 is used to drive the second part 14 relative to the first part through the first transmission structure 72. 12 moves and drives the reel 20 to rotate through the first transmission structure 72 and the second transmission structure 74.

The first transmission structure 72 includes a first transmission gear 722 and a rack portion 724. The first transmission gear 722 is connected to the second transmission structure 74 and fixed on the motor shaft 711 of the motor 71, the rack portion 724 is fixedly connected to the second portion 14, and the rack portion 724 meshes with the first transmission gear 722. In this way, in this embodiment, a gear and a rack drive are used for driving, and the structure is simple and the transmission is relatively stable and reliable.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the rack portion 724 is integrally formed with the second top plate 142 of the second part 14, that is, the rack portion 724 can be directly integrally formed on the lower surface of the second top plate 142. In this way, the rack portion 724 can be directly processed on the second top plate 142, and its integrity is good, and the processing is convenient. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the rack portion 724 can also be formed separately from the second portion 14 , And then the two are fixedly connected together by welding, etc. The specifics are not limited here.

Please refer to FIGS. 5 and 7 again, the second transmission structure 74 connects the reel 20 and the first transmission gear 722. The second transmission structure 74 includes a second transmission gear 742 and a third transmission gear 744. The second transmission gear 742 is fixed on the reel 20 and arranged concentrically with the reel 20, and the third transmission gear 744 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the motor, and The third transmission gear 744 is connected to the second transmission gear 742 and the first transmission gear 722, that is, the third transmission gear 744 is connected to the motor shaft of the motor and meshes with the second transmission gear 742 and the first transmission gear 722, respectively, the first transmission gear 722 And the second transmission gear 742 are located on opposite sides of the third transmission gear 744.

In this embodiment, the motor 71 can be used to drive the second part 14 to move relative to the first part 12 through the first transmission structure 72. At the same time, the motor can also be used to drive the second part 14 to move away from the first part 12 while driving the reel 20 to rotate through the second transmission structure 74 to release the flexible display screen assembly 30. . In this way, the expansion of the flexible display screen assembly 30 and the synchronous release of the reel 20 make the movement relatively stable, and the flexible display screen assembly 30 is not prone to wrinkles.

Specifically, when the display area of the electronic device 100 needs to be expanded, that is, the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 needs to be expanded, the motor 71 can be used to drive the third transmission gear 744 to rotate, and the third transmission gear 744 drives the first transmission gear 722 Rotates, the first transmission gear 722 drives the second part 14 to move away from the first part 12 through the rack part 724, and the second part 14 drives the flexible display assembly 30 to extend, that is, drives one end of the flexible display assembly 30 relative to The first part 12 is separated. At the same time, the first transmission gear 722 can also drive the third transmission gear 744 to rotate at the same time, and the third transmission gear 744 drives the reel 20 to rotate, so that the reel 20 can synchronously release the flexible display assembly 30. In turn, the purpose of expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 is achieved.

It can be understood that when the display part 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 needs to be reduced, it is only necessary to reverse the motor to drive the second part 14 to move relative to the first part 12. In this case, the second part 14 Gradually release the flexible display assembly 30, and the reel 20 can also gradually roll up the flexible display assembly 30.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, in a unit time, the movement stroke of the second part 14 is equal to the length of the flexible display assembly 30 released by the rotation of the reel 20. That is to say, the reel 20 rotates to release the length as much as the second part 14 pulls the end of the flexible display assembly 30 to move, so as to ensure that the flexible display assembly 30 can move smoothly without wrinkles.

In addition, it can also be understood that, in some embodiments, in order to ensure the smoothness of the reel 20 to roll up and release the flexible display assembly 30, the number of the driving mechanism 70 may be two, and the number of the reel 20 is also two. The two driving mechanisms 70 may be symmetrically arranged in the accommodating space 120 along the longitudinal direction of the electronic device 100 and connected to the second part 14 respectively, and also connected to the two reels 20 respectively. In this way, the synchronous and stable rotation of the two reels 20 and the smooth movement of the second part 14 can be realized by synchronously driving the two same driving mechanisms 70, so as to ensure that the electronic device 100 expands the display part 301 of the flexible display assembly 30.

Furthermore, in other embodiments, the driving mechanism 70 may also include two synchronous motors arranged on the first part 12, one of which is used to drive the second part 14 to move relative to the first part 12, and the other motor drives the reel 20. To rotate, the two are driven by separate motors. In this way, the synchronous movement of the two motors can also ensure the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the flexible display assembly 30.

In addition, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 70 may also only include a motor provided on the first part 12 and a first transmission structure 72 connected to the motor. The motor can drive the second part 14 relative to the first part 14 through the first transmission structure 72. The first part is 12 sports. In addition, the electronic device 100 may further include a recovery structure (not shown in the figure), the recovery structure is connected to the reel 20, and the return structure is used to apply a force to the flexible display assembly 30 through the reel 20 to keep the flexible display 32 in a wound setting. Trend on reel 20.

Specifically, the restoring structure can apply a force to the flexible display assembly 30. When the electronic device 100 is in the narrow screen mode, the restoring structure will automatically roll up one end of the flexible display assembly 30. When the motor drives the second part 14 to move away from the first part 12, that is, when switching from the narrow screen mode to the expanded mode, the second part 14 applies a force to one end of the flexible display assembly 30, so that the flexible display assembly 30 can overcome the force exerted by the restoring structure, so that the reel 20 can gradually release the flexible display screen assembly 30, thereby expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30. When the motor drives the second part 14 to move in opposite directions relative to the first part 12, that is, when switching from the expanded mode to the narrow screen mode, the second part 14 gradually releases one end of the flexible display screen 32. At this time, the reel 20 plays a role in the recovery structure. The other end of the flexible display screen assembly 30 is rolled up, so as to maintain the balance of the flexible display screen assembly 30.

Hereinafter, the working principle of the electronic device 100 of this embodiment will be introduced.

Please refer to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7. As described above, the electronic device 100 can switch between the narrow screen mode and the extended mode. In the states shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the electronic device 100 is in the narrow screen mode, and in the states shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the electronic device 100 is in the extended mode. When in the narrow screen mode, the first part 12 and the second part 14 cooperate with each other to form the housing 10. One end of the flexible display assembly 30 is arranged on the reel 20, and the other end is connected to the second part 14. At this time, the flexible display Only a small part of the assembly 30 is exposed from the housing 10, and the display part 301 is narrow, which is convenient for the user to carry.

When the user needs a larger display part 301, the driving mechanism 70 can drive the second part 14 to move away from the first part 12. At this time, the second part 14 drives one end of the flexible display screen 32 to move while the driving mechanism 70 also drives the reel 20 to rotate and release the flexible display assembly 30, so that the part of the flexible display assembly 30 hidden in the housing 10 is gradually pulled out by the second part 14 (that is, it moves from the state shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 The state shown), so as to achieve the purpose of expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30. At this time, the area of the display portion 301 is relatively large, which can facilitate user operations and improve the user's operating experience.

When it is necessary to switch from the extended mode to the narrow screen mode, it is only necessary to reverse the motor of the driving mechanism 70 to drive the second part 14 to move relative to the first part 12, thereby releasing the flexible display assembly 30. At this time, the reel 20 is also reversed accordingly, and the flexible display assembly 30 is rolled up synchronously.

In this embodiment, when the first part 11 and the second part 13 move to the extreme position relative to the third part 15 respectively (that is, the first part 11 and the second part 13 are close to each other and the third part 15 to When the three are mated together), the first part 11, the second part 13 and the third part 15 form a substantially rectangular housing 10 as a whole. Please refer to FIG. 25. When the first part 11 and the second part 13 move apart (that is, the two move away from each other), the first part 11, the second part 13 and the third part 15 are separated.

Please refer to FIGS. 27 and 28. In this embodiment, the reel 20 includes a first reel 21 and a second reel 23. The first reel 21 is rotatably disposed in the first part 11 and is located in the first storage space 110, that is, the first reel 21 can be installed in the first storage space 110 and can rotate relative to the first part 11. The first reel 21 is connected to one end of the flexible display screen assembly 30 for rolling up or releasing the flexible display screen assembly 30.

The structure of the second reel 23 and the first reel 21 is basically the same. The second reel 23 and the first reel 21 are arranged symmetrically about the center of the housing 10, and the second reel 23 is rotatably arranged in the second part 13 and located in the second storage space 130 Inside, that is to say, the second reel 23 can be installed in the second storage space 130 and can rotate relative to the second part 13. The second reel 23 is connected to the other end of the flexible display assembly 30 to roll up or release the flexible display assembly 30, that is, the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 are respectively connected to both ends of the flexible display assembly 30. The flexible display assembly 30 is also arranged symmetrically about the center of the housing 10, that is, the part of the flexible display assembly 30 wound on the first reel 21 and the part wound on the second reel 23 are symmetrical. of.

It can be understood that the rotation of the first reel 21 on the first part 11 can mean that the first reel 21 is directly installed on the first part 11, or it can mean that the first reel 21 is installed on the first part 11 through other media. The rotation of the second reel 23 on the second part 13 can mean that the second reel 23 is directly mounted on the second part 13, or it can mean that the second reel 23 is mounted on the second part 13 through other media.

Please continue to refer to FIGS. 27 and 28, both ends of the flexible display assembly 30 are fixedly connected to the first reel 21 and the second reel 23, respectively. Specifically, one end of the flexible display assembly 30 passes through the first opening 1111 of the first part 11 and is connected to the first reel 21, and the other end passes through the second opening 1311 of the second part 13 to be connected to the second reel 23. When the first part 11 and the second part 13 move apart, that is, when both the first part 11 and the second part 13 are far away from the third part 15, the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 can rotate at the same time to gradually release the flexible display assembly 30, thereby expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30.

In this way, when the first part 11 and the second part 13 move apart, the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 can rotate to release the flexible display screen assembly 30, thereby expanding the display part 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30.

In other words, one end of the flexible display assembly 30 is wound on the first reel 21 and the other end is wound on the second reel 23. Wherein, when the first part 11 moves away from the third part 15, the first scroll 21 can rotate to release the flexible display screen assembly 30, thereby expanding the display part 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30, and the second part 13 is opposite to the second part 13 When the three parts 15 move apart, the second reel 23 can rotate to release the flexible display screen assembly 30, thereby expanding the display part 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30.

In this way, the size of the screen display area of the electronic device 100 can be freely adjusted, and the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 can be expanded when a large screen is needed to improve the user's operating experience, and at the same time, when a large screen is not needed , The display part 301 may not be expanded, so that the size of the whole machine is small and it is convenient to carry.

It is understandable that, in other embodiments, when "the first part 11 and the second part 13 move apart" is understood as when the first part 11 is stationary relative to the third part 15, and the second part 13 is far away from the third part 15, Only the first reel 21 rotates to release one end of the flexible display assembly 30 to expand the display part 301. In addition, when "the first part 11 and the second part 13 move apart" is understood as the first part 11 is away from the third part 15, and the second part 13 is stationary relative to the third part 15, only the second reel 23 rotates to release the flexibility One end of the display screen assembly 30 extends the display part 301.

In addition, it can be understood that, in this embodiment, in one case, the first part 11, the second part 13 and the third part 15 are close to and completely matched. In this case, the display part 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 Without being expanded, the electronic device 100 is in a narrow screen mode (for example, the state shown in FIGS. 23 and 27). At this time, one end of the flexible display assembly 30 is wound on the first reel 21, and the other end is wound on the first reel 21. On the second reel 23, the portion exposed from the casing 10 (ie, the display portion 301) is used for display.

When the display part 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 needs to be expanded, the first part 11 and the second part 13 move apart, so that the first part 11 and the second part 13 are far away from each other, and the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 are also Far away from each other, since the two ends of the flexible display assembly 30 are respectively connected to the first reel 21 and the second reel 23, therefore, in the process of moving away, the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 will rotate at the same time to release the flexible display assembly Both ends of 30, thereby expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30, in this case, the electronic device 100 is in an expanded mode (for example, the state shown in FIGS. 25 and 28).

It can be understood that there is a limit position when the second part 13 and the first part 11 move apart, that is, the limit position where they are far away from the third part 15. When in the limit position, the display area of the electronic device 100 is the largest , That is, the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 is the largest (see FIG. 25). When the first part 11, the second part 13 and the third part 15 are close and fully fitted together, the display area of the electronic device 100 is the smallest, that is, the display part 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 is the smallest (see FIG. 23).

It should be noted that in this embodiment, the “display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30” can also be understood as a portion exposed from the housing 10.

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 27 and 28, in this embodiment, the flexible display assembly 30 includes a flexible display 31 and a flexible support 33, and the flexible display 31 and the flexible support 33 are stacked and fixedly connected.

The flexible display screen 31 includes a first area 311 and a second area 313 and a third area 315 connected at both ends of the first area 311. The first area 311 is located above the first top plate 111 and the second top plate 131 and has a size similar to that of the first area 311. The areas of the top plate 111 and the second top plate 131 are substantially the same. The second area 313 is at least partially located in the first storage space 110 of the first portion 11 and connected to the flexible support 33.

The third area 315 is at least partially located in the second receiving space 130 of the second portion 13 and connected to the flexible support 33. In this embodiment, expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 can be understood as pulling out the second area 313 located in the first storage space 110 or the third area 315 located in the second storage space 130 or pulling out Both are pulled out at the same time to be exposed from above the casing 10, thereby expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 for display, that is, expanding the display area of the electronic device 100.

The flexible support 33 is provided at the bottom of the flexible display screen 31 and covers the lower surface of the flexible display screen 31. The flexible support 33 may be fixedly connected to the flexible display screen 31 through optically clear adhesive (OCA). In the examples shown in Figs. 27 and 28, both ends of the flexible support 33 protrude beyond the flexible display screen 31, and the protruding parts are connected to the first reel 21 and the second reel 23, respectively. Referring to FIG. 27, when the electronic device 100 is in the narrow screen mode, one end of the flexible support 33 is wound on the first reel 21, and the other end is wound on the second reel 23, and the flexible display 31 is roughly a racetrack. In this way, the electrical components such as the main board, the sub-board, the sensor, and the battery of the electronic device 100 can be housed in the space enclosed by the flexible display assembly 30. In this way, the arrangement of the flexible display assembly 30 will not affect the placement of electrical components such as the main board and batteries, which effectively improves the utilization of space, and facilitates the stacking and placement of electrical components such as the main board and batteries.

In addition, when the electronic device 100 is in the narrow screen mode, the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 only roll up a series of the flexible support 33, and the flexible display 31 will not be directly affected by the first reel 21 and the second reel. The reel 23 is rolled up, so that the service life of the flexible display screen 31 is increased. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the flexible display screen 31 can also be connected to the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 after being completely corresponding to the flexible support 33.

Please refer to FIGS. 27 and 28. In this embodiment, when the first part 11 and the second part 13 move apart, the flexible support 33 abuts the first part 11 and the second part 13 to keep the flexible display screen 31 smooth. When the first part 11 and the second part 13 are separated, the flexible support 33 is attached to the first part 11 and the second part 13. In this way, the flexible support 33 can play a role in increasing the strength of the flexible display screen 31, can ensure that the flexible display screen 31 can be flat and stable during exercise, and can also prevent the flexible display screen 31 from being affected by a large force. And there is damage.

In addition, please continue to refer to Figures 3, 5 and 7, the bottom of the flexible support 33 is formed with a first tooth 331, and the first tooth 331 is used for meshing with the limiting member 40 so that the limiting member 40 can support The flexible display screen assembly 30 keeps the flexible display screen assembly 30 to move smoothly.

Please refer to FIGS. 27 and 28 again, the limiting member 40 includes a first limiting member 41 and a second limiting member 43. The first limiting member 41 is rotatably arranged in the first part 11 and located in the first storage space 110. A limiting member 41 is cylindrical, and a second tooth portion 411 is formed on the circumference of the first limiting member 41.

The second limiting member 43 is rotatably disposed in the second part 13 and located in the second storage space 130 and symmetrical to the first limiting member 41. The second limiting member 43 is also cylindrical, and the circumference of the second limiting member 43 A third tooth 431 is formed thereon.

The second tooth portion 411 and the third tooth portion 431 are both used to engage with the first tooth portion 331 on the flexible support 33 to support the flexible display screen assembly 30 and guide the expansion of the flexible display screen assembly 30.

In this way, the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 43 can limit the shape of the flexible display assembly 30, so that the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 can be in a flat state, that is, the flexible display screen assembly 30 can be kept in a flat state. The state of the runway type. In addition, the engagement of the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 43 with the flexible supporting member 33 can not only support the flexible display assembly 30, but also release the flexible display assembly 30 on the first reel 21 and the second reel 23. It is guided at the time to keep the flexible display assembly 30 to be able to unfold steadily.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first limiting member 41 is a guide gear, the first limiting member 41 is disposed at a position corresponding to the first opening 1111, and one end of the flexible supporting member 33 is wound around the second limiting member. 43, the first tooth part 331 and the second tooth part 411 on the flexible support reducer mesh. The second limiting member 43 can also be two guide gears. The second limiting member 43 is arranged at a position corresponding to the second opening 1311. The other end of the flexible supporting member 33 is wound around the second limiting member 43, and the second limiting member 43 is flexibly supported. The first tooth portion 331 and the third tooth portion 431 on the member 33 mesh. In other words, one end of the flexible display assembly 30 passes through the first opening 1111 and bypasses the first limiting member 41, and then is connected to the first reel 21, and the other end of the flexible display assembly 30 passes through the second opening 1311 and is connected to the first reel 21. After bypassing the second limiting member 43, it is connected to the second reel 23. When the first part 11 and the second part 13 are far away from each other, the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 43 are gradually rotated under the drive of the flexible support 33, and the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 gradually release the flexible support The member 33 allows more parts of the flexible display screen 31 to be exposed from the housing 10 to achieve the purpose of expanding the display part 301. In addition, please refer to FIG. 27. In this embodiment, the structures of the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 43 are basically the same.

It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 43 may not be formed with teeth, but are directly optical shafts or rollers, and the flexible display screen assembly 30 directly bypasses the rollers. In this way, the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 43 can also support and guide the flexible display screen 31.

Referring to FIGS. 27 and 28, in this embodiment, the camera 60 is disposed in the accommodating space 150 of the third part 15, and the cover 50 is disposed on the bottom of the third part 15 to close the accommodating space 150. In other words, in this embodiment, when the second part 13 moves relative to the first part 11, the camera 60 will not follow the movement. When the electronic device 100 is in the extended mode, the camera 60 is located in the middle of the entire flexible display 31 position.

The cover 50 is detachably connected to the first part 11, so that the cover 50 can be easily disassembled to repair and replace electrical components such as motherboards, batteries, or sensors stacked in the accommodating space 150.

In addition, the cover 50 is provided with a light-transmitting part 56 corresponding to the camera 60, and the housing of the camera 60 transmits the light-transmitting part 56 for shooting. In this way, the camera 60 can be protected without affecting the shooting effect of the camera 60, thereby preventing the camera 60 from being directly exposed outside the housing 10 and causing accidental scratches on the camera.

Please refer to Figures 24, 26 and 27. In such an embodiment, the cover 50 includes a first connecting portion 51, a second connecting portion 53, and a third connecting portion 55, and the first connecting portion 51 is fixed to the first portion 11. Connect or detachably connect and close the first storage space 110, the second connection portion 53 is fixed or detachably connected to the second portion 13 and closes the second storage space 130, and the third connection portion 55 is fixedly connected to the third portion 15 or can The connection is detached and the accommodating space 150 is closed.

Please refer to FIG. 24. When the electronic device 100 is in the narrow screen mode, that is, when the first part 11 and the second part 13 move to the extreme position and are fully engaged with the third part 15, the first connecting portion 51, the second connecting portion 53 and The third connecting portion 55 is joined together to form the cover 50 of the electronic device 100. Specifically, please refer to FIGS. 24, 26 and 27. In such an embodiment, the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 53 are symmetrical with respect to the third connecting portion 55, and the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion Convex arcs are formed on 53. Concave arcs matching the convex arcs are formed on both sides of the third connecting portion 55. When the electronic device 100 is in the narrow screen mode, the concave arcs and the convex arcs are spliced together to achieve the first connection. Part 51 and the third connecting part 55 and the second connecting part 53 and the third connecting part 55 are spliced. It is understandable that the first connecting portion 51, the second connecting portion 53 and the third plate can also be made into other shapes, for example, all three are rectangular, and the three can be directly spliced into the cover 50. For another example, Regularly arranged protrusions are formed on the symmetrical sides of the three connecting portions 55, and grooves corresponding to the protrusions are formed on the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 53, so that when the electronic device 100 is in the extended mode, The shape of the housing 10 is enriched to improve the aesthetics.

Further, in such an embodiment, the first connecting portion 51, the second connecting portion 53, and the third connecting portion 55 can be designed with a variety of different color effects, which can enrich the appearance effect of the electronic device 100.

In this embodiment, the number of driving mechanisms (not shown in the figure) is two, and the two driving mechanisms may be respectively disposed in the first storage space 110 and the second storage space 130. The driving mechanism provided in the first storage space 110 can be connected with the first top plate 111 and the first reel 21 and used to drive the first reel 21 to rotate while driving the first part 11 to move away from the third part 15 To release one end of the flexible display assembly 30.

The driving mechanism arranged in the second storage space 130 can be connected to the second top plate 131 and the second reel 23 and used to drive the second reel 23 to rotate while driving the second part 13 to move away from the third part 15 To release the other end of the flexible display assembly 30.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the specific structure of the driving mechanism may be similar to the structure of the driving mechanism 70 in the foregoing embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, in order to avoid redundancy, it will not be described in detail here.

In this embodiment, when the display area of the electronic device 100 needs to be expanded, that is, the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 needs to be expanded, the first portion 11 can be driven relative to the first portion 11 by the driving mechanism provided in the first storage space 110. The three parts 15 and the second part 13 move away from each other. At the same time, the driving mechanism also drives the first reel 21 to rotate, so that the first reel 21 can gradually release the flexible display assembly 30 to expand the flexible display assembly 30. The purpose of the display portion 301 (for example, moving from the state shown in FIG. 27 to the state shown in FIG. 28).

When the flexible display flat display portion 301 needs to be reduced, only the motor of the driving mechanism needs to be reversed to drive the first part 11 to move relative to the third part 15. In this case, the first reel 21 will also Driven by the driving mechanism, it is reversed to gradually roll up one end of the flexible display screen assembly 30 (for example, move from the state shown in FIG. 28 to the state shown in FIG. 27).

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, within a unit time, the movement stroke of the first part 11 is equal to the length of the flexible display assembly 30 released by the rotation of the first reel 21. In other words, as long as the first part 11 moves, the first reel 21 rotates to release the length, which can ensure that the flexible display assembly 30 can move smoothly without wrinkles.

In the same way, when the display area of the electronic device 100 needs to be expanded, the second part 13 can also be driven to move away from the third part 15 and the first part 11 through the driving mechanism provided in the second storage space 130. At the same time, the driving mechanism also drives the second reel 23 to rotate, so that the second reel 23 can gradually release the flexible display assembly 30, thereby achieving the purpose of expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30.

It is understandable that in this embodiment, when the display part 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 needs to be expanded, one of the two driving mechanisms can be used to drive the first part 11 or the second part 13 relative to the third part. 15 moves apart, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding the flexible display assembly 30. Of course, it is also possible to simultaneously drive the first part 11 and the second part 13 to move away from the third part 15 through two driving mechanisms to achieve the same purpose. Preferably, in this embodiment, two driving mechanisms are mainly used to synchronously drive the first part 11 and the second part 13 to move relative to the third part 15 to realize the expansion of the display part 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30.

Hereinafter, the working principle of the electronic device 100 of this embodiment will be introduced by using two driving mechanisms to simultaneously drive the first part 11 and the second part 13 to move.

Referring to FIG. 23, FIG. 25, FIG. 27, and FIG. 28, as described above, the electronic device 100 can switch between the narrow screen mode and the extended mode. In the states shown in FIGS. 23 and 27, the electronic device 100 is in the narrow screen mode, and in the states shown in FIGS. 25 and 28, the electronic device 100 is in the extended mode. When in the narrow screen mode, the first part 11, the second part 13 and the third part 15 cooperate with each other to form the housing 10. One end of the flexible display assembly 30 is arranged on the first reel 21, and the other end is arranged on the second reel. 23. At this time, only a small part of the flexible display assembly 30 is exposed from the housing 10, and the display part 301 is narrow, which is convenient for the user to carry.

When the user needs a larger display part 301, the first part 11 and the second part 13 are respectively driven to move away from the third part 15 through two driving mechanisms, and the movement directions of the first part 11 and the second part 13 are opposite of. At this time, the driving mechanism will also simultaneously drive the first reel 21 and the second rotating shaft 23 to rotate to release the flexible display assembly 30. In this way, the second area 313 of the flexible display 31 hidden in the first storage space 110 will be gradually Was pulled out. Similarly, the third area 315 of the flexible display screen 31 hidden in the second storage space 130 will be gradually pulled out. In this way, the area of the part of the flexible display assembly 30 exposed from the housing 10 is large, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30. At this time, the area of the display portion 301 is relatively large, which is convenient for users to operate. Improve the user's operating experience.

When it is necessary to switch from the extended mode to the narrow screen mode, only the motor of the drive mechanism needs to be reversed to drive the first part 11 and the second part 13 to move in opposite directions relative to the third part 15. At this time, the reel 20 is also corresponding Reverse, synchronously roll up the flexible display assembly 30, and when the movement reaches the limit position of the opposite movement between the first part 11, the second part 13 and the third part 15, that is, the motor stops running when the three are fully matched together , The electronic device 100 returns to the narrow screen state.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 23-28, the number of the first battery 90 may be two, one of the first battery 90 is disposed in the first reel 21, and the other first battery 90 is disposed in the second reel 23. In this way, the space of the first reel 21 and the second reel 23 can be fully utilized. Of course, the number of the first battery 90 can also be one, and the first battery 90 is disposed in the first reel 21 or the second reel 23.

It should be pointed out that the other parts of the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of Figs. 23-28 are expanded parts. Please refer to the same or similar parts in the embodiment where the housing 10 includes the first part 11 and the second part 13 above. This will not be repeated here.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned limiting member 40 can be omitted, so that the number of parts of the electronic device 100 can be reduced, and the space of the electronic device 100 can be saved. Please refer to FIG. 29, the reel 20 may be located at the end of the first part 12 away from the second part 14. In the example of FIG. 29, the stopper 40 is omitted.

Please refer to FIGS. 29 to 31 again. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a telescopic support assembly 160, and the telescopic support assembly 160 is disposed in the housing 10. The telescopic support assembly 160 is used for extending and holding the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 toward the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 when the first portion 12 and the second portion 14 are moving apart.

In this way, the telescopic support assembly 160 extends toward the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 and abuts the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30, so that the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 can be supported, so that the flexible display can be reduced. The degree of deformation of the screen assembly 30 after being touched after being flattened from the reel 20 keeps the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30 flat, ensuring the display effect of the flexible display assembly 30. In addition, the retractable support assembly 160 occupies a small space in the contracted state, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the electronic device 100.

It should be pointed out that the extension of the telescopic support assembly 160 can mean that the telescopic support assembly 160 is extended as a whole, or can mean that the telescopic support assembly 160 is partially extended. The telescopic support component 160 resists the display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30, which can mean that the telescopic support component 160 resists the entire display portion 301 of the flexible display assembly 30, and can refer to the portion of the flexible display assembly that the telescopic support component 160 resists 30 of the display section 301.

When the flexible display screen assembly 30 is fully unfolded, the telescopic support assembly 160 can support the expanded portion of the flexible display screen assembly 30. Thus, the display portion 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30 can be supported after being expanded, and the display portion 301 of the flexible display screen assembly 30 is prevented from being greatly deformed after being touched.

It should be pointed out that the above-mentioned "expansion part" can be understood as the part that the flexible display assembly 30 extends from the first part 12 and is flattened during the movement of the first part 12 and the second part 14, namely the flexible part.
