With reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display module. The display module includes a flexible screen 1, a first fixing member 2 and a second fixing member 3, and a first part of the flexible screen 1. The second part of the flexible screen 1 is fixedly disposed on the second fixing member 3, the first fixing member 2 is provided with a slot 5, and the second fixing member 3 is provided with a slideway 4, A support 8 is slidably provided in the lane 4, and the support 8 can move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the support 8 is located in the slideway 3, and in the second position, the support 8 A part is located in the slideway 3, and a part is located in the slot 5.

When the flexible screen 1 is in the folded state, the support 8 is in the first position, and when the flexible screen 2 is in the unfolded state, the support 8 is in the second position.

The display module realizes the folding and unfolding operations of the flexible screen 1 by adjusting the sliding position of the support 8. The entire process does not require a rotating shaft, so complicated rotating shaft design can be omitted, the structure is simpler, the operation is more flexible and convenient, and the cost is lower.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the support 8 is retracted into the slide 4, the support 8 will not hinder the folding of the flexible screen 1, so the first part of the flexible screen 1 can be folded on the flexible screen. On the second part of 1, the folding of the flexible screen 1 is completed, that is, the folding of the display module. When the support 8 slides out from the slide 4 and remains in the slide 4 and the slot 5, at this time, because one end of the support 8 is connected to the slide 4, the other end is connected to the slot 5 , The cooperation of the support 8 and the slideway 4 ensures that the second fixing member 3 is opened relative to the support 8, and the cooperation of the support 8 and the slot 5 ensures that the first fixing 2 is opened relative to the support 8, so The first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 3 are both expanded relative to the supporting member 8 and located on the same plane. Affected by the supporting member 8, the flexible screen 1 is also under the action of the first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 3 Unfolding, since the support 8 can be held in the slideway 4 and the slot 5 at the same time, the flexible screen 1 can be kept in an unfolded state.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a telescoping plug 6 is provided on the side wall of the slot 5, and a jack 7 is provided on the support 8. When the support 8 is inserted into the slot 5 to a preset depth, the plug 6 can Insert into the socket 7 to prevent the support 8 from coming out of the socket 5.

The plug 6 is used to cooperate with the socket 7 on the support 8, so that when the support 8 slides into the socket 5, it can be inserted into the socket 7 so that the support 8 can be held in the socket 5. The pin 6 is arranged in the pin hole of the sliding side wall of the slot 5, and can extend or retract the pin hole laterally. Therefore, the pin 6 can be operated when the flexible screen 1 needs to be folded, so that the pin 6 can be Retract into the pin hole to avoid obstructing the sliding movement of the support 8 out of the slot 5.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the aforementioned motion of the plug 6 extending or retracting into the plug hole may be a manual operation, or an automatic operation may be realized by other structures.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the end of the plug 6 is provided with an elastic member 9 that provides elastic force for the plug 6. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the head of the plug 6 is a circular arc surface, and the socket 7 has a circular arc surface. The shape is an arc groove matching the arc surface. One end of the pin 6 is fixedly connected to the elastic member 9. When the support member 8 is not slid into the slot 5, the pin 6 extends under the elastic action of the elastic member 9. When the support member 8 is slid into the slot 5 Under the squeezing action of the support 8, the plug 6 squeezes the elastic member 9 to contract, so that the plug 6 retracts into the plug hole. When the socket 7 of the support 8 is aligned with the plug 6, the plug 6 is in the elastic member 9 Under the elastic action of the flexible screen, it is inserted into the socket 7 and the support 8 is clamped and positioned to prevent the support 8 from falling out of the socket 5 and ensure the structural stability of the flexible screen 1 when it is unfolded. When the flexible screen 1 needs to be folded, a sliding force can be provided to the supporting member 8. When the sliding force reaches a certain level, due to the mutual extrusion and guiding effect of the arc surfaces, the latch 6 can overcome the elasticity of the elastic member 9 Therefore, it retracts into the pin hole. At this time, the support 8 can smoothly slide out of the slot 5 to realize the folding operation of the flexible screen 1.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first fixing member 2 is provided with a first magnet 10, the support member 8 is made of a magnetic material, the first magnet 10 is provided on the side of the slot 5 away from the slide rail 4, and the first magnet The setting height of 10 is the same as the height of slot 5. By using the first magnet 10, when the support 8 needs to be extended, no manual operation is required. The magnetic attraction force of the first magnet 10 on the support 8 is used to suck the support 8 into the slot 5, and the magnet can be used. The suction force keeps the support 8 in the slot 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure when the flexible screen 1 is unfolded.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the support 8 is required to slide out of the slot 5, the support 8 can be manually moved, so that the support 8 can overcome the magnetic attraction force of the first magnet 10, thereby smoothly The slot 5 comes out so that the first part of the flexible screen 1 can be smoothly folded on the second part.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a second magnet 11 is provided on the second fixing member 3, and the second magnet 11 is provided on the side of the slideway 4 away from the slot 5, and has the same height as the height of the slideway 4, and supports When the member 8 is held in the slideway 4 and the slot 5 at the same time, the magnetic attraction force between the first magnet 10 and the support member 8 is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the second magnet 11 and the support member 8. For example, the magnetic performance of the first magnet 10 can be better than that of the second magnet 11, so that under the same structure, the first magnet 10 can provide a greater magnetic attraction force.

Since the magnetic attraction force between the first magnet 10 and the support 8 is greater than the magnetic attraction between the second magnet 11 and the support 8, the arrangement of the second magnet 11 will not affect the attraction of the first magnet 10 to the support 8 , The magnetic attraction force of the first magnet 10 can still be used to realize the automatic operation of extending the support 8 and snapping into the slot. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and it is easy to implement.

At the same time, due to the existence of the second magnet 11, when the support 8 is too far from the first magnet 10, or when the flexible screen 1 is folded, the support 8 can be provided with a magnetic attraction force, so that the support 8 can be kept sliding. In the lane 4, it will not extend out of the slide lane 4. In this way, it can effectively prevent the support 8 extending out of the slide lane 4 to cause damage to the flexible screen during the folding and use of the mobile phone.

The magnets 10 have different sexes, so that when the flexible screen 1 is unfolded, both the second magnet 11 and the first magnet 10 can form a magnetic attraction with the support 8.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, during the unfolding process of the flexible screen 1, since the magnetism of the first magnet 10 is greater than that of the second magnet 11, the support member 8 will be attracted by the first magnet 10 to slide to the first fixing member 2. Side, and inserted into the slot 5. At the same time, the pin 6 in the slot 5 protrudes and cooperates with the socket 7 on the support 8, so that the support 8 slides to the preset of the first fixing member 2. When in position, the supporting member 8 receives the attraction force of the first magnet 10 and the force of the plug 6, and can play the role of connecting and supporting the second fixing member 3 and the first fixing member 2. When the flexible screen 1 is folded, the latch 6 is released by force. After the first fixing member 2 is rotated to a certain angle, the force of the first magnet 10 on the support 8 is less than the force of the second magnet 11, so that the support 8 is again Slide back into the slideway 4 of the second fixing member 3 to realize the folding of the mobile phone.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the support 8 is a sliding block, and the cross-sectional shape of the sliding channel 4 and the slot 5 is adapted to the sliding block, and the sliding block and the sliding channel 4 and the slot 5 are in clearance fit, thereby both It is possible to ensure a good fit between the slider and the slideway 4 and the slot 5, and to minimize the frictional force of the slider sliding in the slideway 4 or the slot 5 as much as possible.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the width of the slider in the sliding direction is greater than the distance between the bottom of the slot 5 and the exit of the slide 4 when the flexible screen 1 is unfolded, so as to ensure that the slider is inserted into the slide groove. When it is within 5, it will not fall out of the slide 4, and it can be effectively held between the second fixing member 3 and the first fixing member 2, ensuring that the flexible screen 1 can be maintained in the unfolded state.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the flexible screen 1 is unfolded, the depth of the slider inserted into the slot 5 is 3 to 5 mm, and the depth of the slider held in the slideway 4 is 3 to 5 mm, so as to ensure that the slider is inserted in the slot. Both the groove 5 and the slideway 4 can be inserted to a sufficient depth to provide sufficient supporting force for the second fixing member 3 and the first fixing member 2 to remain on a plane.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the surface of the slide 4 and/or the surface of the support 8 is coated with anti-friction material; or, the support 8 is made of anti-friction material, which can further reduce the sliding process of the support 8 The frictional force in the medium reduces the damage caused by friction, increases the service life of the support 8, and improves the durability of the display module.

During the unfolding and bending process of the flexible screen 100, the gap between the flexible screen and the supporting device caused by the slippage of each layer inside the flexible screen 100 is suppressed to a minimum.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, please refer to FIGS. 8 and 9, the bendable device further includes: a flexible support layer 500 disposed between the support device 200 and the bending area 120, the flexible support The two ends of the layer 500 are connected to the first supporting portion 410 and the second supporting portion 420 respectively.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 8, the supporting device 400 and the supporting device 200 may be coated with the flexible supporting layer 500 in a bent state, that is, when the supporting parts 220 are closed to each other. Without installing the flexible screen 100, as shown in FIG. 9, the supporting device 200 and the carrying device 400 are shown in the unfolded state. At this time, the flexible supporting layer 500 bears a certain tensile stress, and the flexible screen is installed on the carrying device 400. Above, the bending area 120 and the flexible support layer 500 can be bonded together. This can ensure that the flexible support layer 500 can well support the bending area 120, and it can also ensure that the flexible support layer 500 will not be caught in the gap between the support portions 220 in the bent state.

With reference to Figures 16 to 18, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a folding support structure, the folding support structure includes a first fixing member 101 and a second fixing member 102, the first fixing member 101 and the second fixing member 102 is connected by an active connection mechanism 103. In some embodiments, as the movable connection mechanism 103 moves, the first fixing member 101 and the second fixing member 102 can be folded together, as shown in FIG. 18. It should be understood that the structure and shape of the movable connection mechanism 103 shown in FIG. 16 are only exemplary, and are not used to limit the present disclosure. The present disclosure may adopt any other suitable structure, and the movable connection mechanism herein should be the most extensive. The explanation of, for example, includes sliding shafts, hinge mechanisms, etc.

In some embodiments, the folding support structure of the present disclosure further includes a flexible member 104. In some embodiments, a part of the components of the folding support structure are arranged in the first fixing member 101, and a part of the devices are arranged in the second fixing member 102, and these devices may be connected by the flexible member 104. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the flexible member 104 passes through the movable connection mechanism 103. It should be understood that this is only exemplary, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the flexible component 104 can be a flexible circuit board to which a flexible screen can be connected, and the flexible component 104 can be folded and unfolded together with the flexible screen.

In some embodiments, the length of the flexible member 104 between the first fixing member 101 and the second fixing member 102 gradually changes during the process from unfolding to folding (for example, 180 degrees) of the folding support structure through the movable connection mechanism. Shorten, that is to say, the length of the originally unfolded flexible component 104 will become more and more surplus during the folding process, and the excess length will be arched and deformed near the movable connection mechanism 103, which will affect the movement of the movable connection mechanism 103 and the flexible component 104. The service life is adversely affected.

The solution of the present disclosure aims to solve the above problems. As shown in FIG. 16, in some embodiments, one end of the flexible member 104 is fixedly disposed at the first position 105 of the first fixing member 101, and the other end of the flexible member 104 opposite to one end of the flexible member 104 is fixedly disposed on the first position 105. The second position 106 of the two fixing members 102. By fixing the flexible component 104 at the first position 105 and the second position 106, the length change of the flexible component 104 is only generated in the portion of the flexible component 104 between the first position 105 and the second position 106, that is, The amount of change in the length of the flexible member 104 when the folding support structure is folded can be reduced to a certain extent. In some embodiments, the fixing arrangement may adopt any suitable method such as screw fastening, adhesive fixing and the like.

In some embodiments, the flexible component 104 has a bent section 107 adjacent to the first position 105, and the first fixing member 101 has a release area 108 that accommodates the bent section 107. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the bending section 107 is formed by changing the extension direction of the flexible member 104 before the flexible member 104 is fixed at the first position 105. In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 18, when the folding support structure changes from the unfolded state to the folded state based on the movement of the movable connection mechanism 103, the flexible member located between the first position 105 and the second position 106 The length of 104 will produce a surplus, and the surplus length will be transformed into a bent section, thereby digesting the length surplus and avoiding the arching deformation of the flexible component 104 near the movable connecting mechanism 103. As shown in Figure 19, when the length of the flexible member 104 between the first position 105 and the second position 106 is surplus during folding, the surplus length will be transformed into a bending section 107, and the bending section 107 will be changed from the dotted line. Becomes a solid line part. The changed bending section 107 is also contained in the release area 108 of the first fixing member. By providing the bending section 107 of the flexible component 104 and the release area 108 of the first fixing member 101 that accommodates the bending section 107, the movable connection mechanism 103 caused by the change in the length of the flexible component 104 during the folding process of the folding support structure can be avoided. The deformation phenomenon of the nearby flexible component 104 plays a role in protecting the flexible component 104 and the movable connection mechanism 103.

In some embodiments, the release area 108 is located on the side of the first fixing member 101 away from the movable connection mechanism 103. As shown in FIG. 17, a top view of the folding support structure is shown, and the release area 108 is used to accommodate the bending section 107 of the flexible component 104.

In some embodiments, the second position 106 is located on the side of the second fixing member 102 adjacent to the movable connection mechanism 103. In some embodiments, by arranging the second position 106 on the side of the second fixing member 102 adjacent to the movable connection mechanism 103, the change in the length of the flexible member 104 that may occur in the second fixing member can be minimized. This alleviates the problem caused by the change in the length of the flexible member 104 during the folding of the folding support structure.

In some embodiments, the hardness of the bent section 107 is less than the hardness of the rest of the flexible component 104. In some embodiments, the portion of the flexible member 104 that may become the bent section 107 is set to be less rigid (for example, softer), and the rest of the flexible member 104 is set to be more rigid (for example, harder) During the folding of the folding support structure, the surplus length generated by the flexible member 104 will become a part of the bending section 107 and enter the release area 108 of the first fixing member 101 without arching deformation near the movable connecting mechanism 103 , So as to protect the flexible component 104 and the movable connection mechanism 103. In some embodiments, the hardness of the bending section 107 may be lower than the hardness of the rest of the flexible component 104 through the selection of materials. For example, a softer material may be used for a portion of the flexible component 104 that may become the bending section 107. In some embodiments, the entire flexible component 104 can be made of the same material, but the thickness of the portion of the flexible component 104 that may become the bending section 107 can be set to be smaller than the thickness of the rest of the flexible component 104, thereby making the bending The folding section 107 is easier to bend relative to the rest of the flexible member 104. In some embodiments, by making the bending section 107 easier to bend relative to the rest of the flexible component 104, the transition of the surplus length of the flexible component 104 to the bending section 107 can be promoted, thereby better protecting the flexible component. 104 and the role of the activity connection mechanism 103.

As shown in FIG. 16, in some embodiments, the bending section 107 is farther away from the movable connection mechanism 103 relative to the first position 105. In some embodiments, one end of the flexible member 104 fixedly disposed at the first position 105 of the first fixing member 101 is one of the ends of the flexible member 104. In some embodiments, the flexible component 104 located in the first fixing member 101 has another part whose first distance from the movable connection mechanism 103 and the part and movable part of the flexible component 104 fixedly connected at the first position 105 The second distance of the connecting mechanism 103 is the same. That is, in the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 16, the flexible member 104 has another portion overlapping with the portion of the flexible member 104 fixedly provided at the first position 105 in the vertical direction.

In some embodiments, as described above, when the first fixing member 101 and the second fixing member 102 move relative to each other along with the movement of the movable connection mechanism 103, the length of the bending section 107 may change. For example, during the folding of the first fixing member 101 and the second fixing member 102, a part of the surplus length of the flexible member 104 is transformed into a portion of the bending section 107, and the length of the bending section 107 becomes longer at this time. Similarly, when the folding support structure is transformed from the folded state to the unfolded state, the length of the bent section 107 may be shortened.

In some embodiments, fixing the flexible part 104 and the second fixing part 102 at the second position 106 ensures that there is no relative movement between the flexible part 104 and the second fixing part 102. The flexible component 104 drawn out at the second position 106 can pass through the movable connecting mechanism 103, enter the first fixing member 101, and then be folded in an arc of about 180 degrees, and then buckle at the first position 105 through the connecting member, and It is fixed to the first fixing member 101 to ensure that the connecting member of the flexible component 104 and the first fixing member 101 have no relative movement.

In some embodiments, by providing the bending section 107 of the flexible member 104 and the release area 108 of the first fixing member 101 that accommodates the bending section 107, the length of the flexible member 104 may be avoided during the folding process of the folding support structure. The deformation phenomenon of the flexible component 104 near the movable connecting mechanism 103 caused by the change plays a role in protecting the flexible component 104 and the movable connecting mechanism 103, and improves the overall reliability of the folding support structure. In some embodiments, by arranging the second position 106 on the side of the second fixing member 102 adjacent to the movable connection mechanism 103, the change in the length of the flexible member 104 that may occur in the second fixing member can be minimized. Therefore, the problem caused by the change of the length of the flexible member 104 during the folding of the folding support structure is alleviated.

An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a display device, including the above-mentioned folding support structure and a flexible display panel provided on the folding support structure. In some embodiments, the flexible display panel may be connected with the flexible member 104 of the folding support structure.

The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a terminal including the above-mentioned display device. The terminal includes, but is not limited to, a flexible screen mobile phone.

For foldable flexible screen products, because each layer is at different bending radii, there will be unequal slippage, the difference in slippage between each layer, or the difference in slippage between each layer. The interaction force will seriously affect the life and reliability of the product. Especially for the flexible screen body, the strength is usually relatively weak, and it is easy to be damaged during the folding process. Among them, the outlet position of the flexible part of the folding screen is more likely to be damaged, because the outlet end of the flexible part and the bonding surface of the flexible part on the shell are usually not in one layer, and there is a certain degree in the thickness direction (that is, the folding radius direction). distance. Therefore, the sliding amount of each part of the flexible component is different, so that the flexible component not only has to slip in the housing, but also is pulled, which makes the flexible component vulnerable to damage.

The present disclosure avoids relative slippage between the flexible screen (ie, the flexible screen) and the housing by providing a fixing part between the flexible screen (ie, the flexible screen) and the housing, the flexible part is fixed to the fixed part, and the fixed part is fixed to the housing. The movement reduces the damage to the flexible part of the display device during folding, and achieves the purpose of protecting the flexible part.

The solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 20, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device, and the display device includes a housing 201. It should be understood that only part of the housing 201 is shown in FIG. 20. In addition, the display device may further include another housing, and the other housing and the housing 201 may be connected by a rotating shaft. In some embodiments, the housing 201 and the other housing may be arranged substantially symmetrically. In some embodiments, the housing 201 may be made of any suitable material, for example, polymer, glass, ceramic, and the like.

In some embodiments, the display device of the present disclosure further includes a fixing member 202 that is fixed to the housing 201. In some embodiments, the fixing member 202 may be fixed to the housing 201 in any suitable manner. For example, the fixing member 202 may be fixed to the housing 201 by screws. In some embodiments, the fixing member 202 may be fixed to the housing 201 by glue bonding. For example, the fixing member 202 may be formed of various dielectric materials such as polymer (e.g., polyimide).

In some embodiments, the display device of the present disclosure further includes a flexible screen 203, which is usually a flexible screen. It should be understood that only a part of the flexible screen 203 is shown in FIG. 20, and the flexible screen 203 can be folded along with the movement of the rotating shaft. As shown in FIG. 20, the fixing member 202 is arranged between the housing 201 and the flexible screen 203, and functions as a bumper.

As shown in FIG. 20, in some embodiments, the display device of the present disclosure further includes a flexible member 204. As shown in FIG. 20, the flexible component 204 is led out from the flexible screen 203 and fixed to the side of the fixed component 202 opposite to the flexible screen 203 after bending. In some embodiments, the flexible component 204 is a flexible circuit board derived from the flexible screen 203 and may be electrically and/or communicatively connected with the flexible screen 203.

In some embodiments, by arranging a fixing part 202 between the flexible screen 203 and the housing 201, the flexible part 204 is fixed to the fixing part 202, and the fixing part 202 is fixed to the housing 201, thereby avoiding the flexible part 204 and the housing 201. The relative sliding between the bodies 201 reduces the force and relative displacement of the two ends of the flexible component 204, thereby reducing the damage to the flexible component during the folding of the display device, and achieving the purpose of protecting the flexible component.

As shown in FIG. 20, in some embodiments, the bending of the flexible member 204 may include a 180° bending. Therefore, the extension directions of the flexible member 204 before and after bending are opposite. This can better fix the position of the flexible component 204 in a stable state, and help reduce the relative displacement and force on the two ends of the flexible component 204.

In some embodiments, the flexible screen 203 is bonded to the fixing member 202. In some embodiments, the flexible screen 203 is bonded to the fixing member 202 by glue. In some embodiments, fixing the flexible screen 203 to the fixing member 202 helps to stabilize the position of the outlet end 205 of the flexible member 204, thereby helping to reduce the relative displacement and force of the two ends of the flexible member 204. The flexible component 204 is protected.

In some embodiments, the fixing part 202 is fixed to the housing 201 by screws, and the fixing position A of the flexible part 204 on the fixing part 202 is laterally offset from the position of the screw. By laterally offsetting the fixed position A and the position of the screw, the influence of the screw on the integrity of the flexible component 204 is avoided.

In some embodiments, the flexible member 204 is adhesively fixed to the side of the fixing member 202 opposite to the flexible screen 203. That is, the flexible member 204 may be fixed at the position A shown in FIG. 20 by glue bonding.

As shown in FIG. 20, in some embodiments, the fixing member 202 has a post 206 with a groove, and the periphery of the groove has threads. In some embodiments, the housing 201 has a protrusion 207 that matches the groove, and the protrusion 207 has a thread that matches the thread in the groove. Therefore, through the cooperation of the groove in the column 206 and the protrusion 207 on the housing 201, the fixing part 202 can be firmly specified on the housing 201, so that the fixing part 202 and the housing 201 are synchronized during the folding of the display device. movement. Similarly, by fixing the flexible part 204 to the fixing part 202, the flexible part 204 and the fixing part 202 move synchronously during the folding of the display device. Therefore, during the folding of the display device of the present disclosure, the flexible part 204 and the housing 201 move synchronously, avoiding relative slippage between the flexible part 204 and the housing 201, reducing damage to the flexible part 204 during folding, and improving This improves the life and reliability of the flexible component 204 and the entire display device.

In some embodiments, by introducing a fixing part, the flexible part is fixed to the fixing part, and the fixing part is fixed to the housing, thereby avoiding relative slippage between the flexible part and the housing, and reducing the display device during folding. Damage to flexible parts. In addition, in some embodiments, the structure of the display device of the present disclosure does not affect the adhesion and sliding of the flexible screen and the housing, and also avoids the relative sliding between the flexible component and the housing. In addition, the present disclosure fixes the flexible component on the fixed component, which is more convenient for the assembly of the flexible component compared to the current connection method of the flexible component.

21-23, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device 2100, including a flexible screen 2110, a connecting member 2120, a first fixing member 2130, a second fixing member 2140, and an elastic support pad 2150. Among them, the flexible screen 2110 has a bendable area 2111; the connecting piece 2120 is arranged on one side of the bendable area 2111; the first fixing piece 2130 and the second fixing piece 2140 are respectively connected to both ends of the connecting piece 2120 for carrying The flexible screen 2110; the elastic support pad 2150 is disposed between the bending area 2111 and the connecting member 2120.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic support pad 2150 can be stretched and compressed in the radial direction, and thus can be unfolded or folded smoothly following the unfolding or folding of the flexible screen. It should be noted that the bendable area of the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a part of the flexible screen, or may be a separate component constituting the flexible screen, and the present disclosure does not make this limitation. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting member may be an independent connecting member, and the two ends are respectively connected to the first fixing member and the second fixing member; the connecting member may also be a part of the first fixing member or the second fixing member; The fixing piece, the second fixing piece and the connecting piece may be independent parts, or may be a certain part of a complete housing, which is not limited in the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the connecting member 2120 may be a hinge or a rotating shaft, and the two ends are hinged to the first fixing member 2130 and the second fixing member 2140 respectively, and provide rotational movement for the first fixing member 2130 and the second fixing member 2140. In some embodiments, the material of the elastic support pad may be soft rubber.

In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an elastic support pad between the flexible screen and the connector, so that the flexible screen is effectively supported during the folding and unfolding process, and the connector is prevented from squeezing the flexible screen during the bending process. At the same time, it also plays a role in waterproof and dustproof.

In some embodiments, when the flexible screen is in an unfolded state, the stress on the elastic support pad is not zero. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the flexible screen is in an unfolded state, the stress on the elastic support pad is not 0, that is, the elastic support pad is in a stretched and tight state, which can prevent the elastic support pad from being unfolded on the flexible screen. It is caught in the gap of the connector such as shown in Figure 22. At the same time, the elastic support pad in a tight state can provide greater support when the flexible screen is unfolded, and can prevent the bendable area from being under the user's touch operation, thereby preventing degradation of user experience and prolonging the service life of the display panel.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, "the flexible screen is in an unfolded state" means that the included angle formed by the extension line where the first fixing member and the second fixing member are located is not greater than 180 degrees in the range of 150 degrees to 180 degrees. Inside.

Further, in some embodiments, the bendable area has a theoretical equal length layer, and the elastic support pad is disposed between the theoretical equal length layer and the connecting member.

The following description takes the theoretical isometric layer of the bendable area located inside the bendable area as an example. Referring to Figure 22, the theoretical isometric layer 21111 of the bendable area 2111 is located inside the bendable area 2111. When the area is bent downward from the unfolded state shown in FIG. 22 to the folded state shown in FIG. 23, the cross section of the theoretical isometric layer 21111 changes from a straight line to a semicircle, but the length remains unchanged. At this time, from the concentric circle correlation formula, it can be seen that the length of the upper surface of the bendable area above the theoretical isometric layer in Figure 22 will be extended by bending downwards. Accordingly, in Figure 22, the length of the upper surface of the bendable area above the theoretical isometric layer will be extended. The length of the lower surface of the bendable area under the layer will be shortened by bending downward. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the elastic support pad is arranged below the theoretical isometric layer of the bendable area.

In some embodiments, the elastic support pad is attached to the bendable area. It should be noted that the elastic support pads of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be directly attached to the bendable area, or can be attached to other components provided on the bendable area, such as the adhesive layer, the base layer, etc., and the bendable area. The area realizes indirect attachment. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by attaching the elastic support pad to the bendable area, the side of the bendable area facing the connector can be protected from dust, foreign matter, and moisture, thereby prolonging the service life of the screen.

Further, referring to FIG. 22, in some embodiments, the opposite ends of the first fixing member 2130 and the second fixing member 2140 respectively have a first step portion 2131 and a second step portion 2141, and both ends of the elastic support pad are respectively provided On the side of the first step portion 2131 and the second step portion 2141 facing the flexible screen 2110. In this way, by providing stepped portions at opposite ends of the first fixing member and the second fixing member to support the elastic support pad, the elastic support pad can be prevented from falling off and being caught in the gap of the connecting member.

22, according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the first fixing member 2130 has a first protrusion 2132, the second fixing member 2140 has a second protrusion 2142; the connecting member 2120 has a mating connection with the first protrusion 2132 The first concave portion 2121 and the second concave portion 2122 matingly connected with the second convex portion 2142.

In some embodiments, the theoretical isometric layer of the bendable region overlaps with the theoretical isometric layer of the connector. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by overlapping the theoretical isometric layer of the connector with the theoretical isometric layer of the bendable area, the flexible screen can be expanded and bent again, and the theoretical isometric layer of the bendable area is not Being squeezed by the connecting piece, the deformation of the bendable area during the unfolding and bending process is reduced.

In some embodiments, the side of the elastic support pad facing the connector is concave. In this way, by setting the side of the elastic support pad facing the connector in a concave shape, the elastic support point can be prevented from being clamped into the gap of the connector during the process of unfolding and bending.
