Flexible display device and mobile terminal comprising same

Abstract

The present invention discloses a flexible display device. The device comprises a flexible screen which is at least partially folded, and a first housing and a second housing which support the flexible screen; and the device also comprises an elastic metal sheet connected between the first housing and the second housing. When the flexible display device is applied the excellent elasticity of the elastic metal sheet is employed, and when a display device is required being folded for display, the first housing and the second housing are folded to the middle portion to drive the elastic metal sheet connected with the first housing and the second housing to generate elastic deformation to correspondingly support the flexible deformation of the flexible screen. When the flexible screen is required being recovered to an original state, the first housing and the second housing are wrenched outwards, and the elastic metal sheet can be rebounded to the original state so as to drive the flexible screen to recover to the original state. The structure is simple and reliable, the production cost is low, and the recovery operation of the flexible screen is simpler. The present invention further discloses a mobile terminal comprising the flexible display device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of display devices, more specifically, to a flexible display device, and to a mobile terminal including the flexible display device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of science and technology in recent years, the practical experience of mobile phones has also been greatly impacted. From the early candy bar to today's touch screen operation, from the early feature phones to today's smart phones, both appearance and function have changed. Earth-shaking changes are taking place. However, mobile phone screens have long been limited to hard glass screens. [0003] In recent years, with the continuous introduction of flexible screens, how to achieve matching bending in the hardware structure of mobile phones will be a major technical problem. At present, the more common structure is the chain hinge structure, that is, the flexible screen is supported by multiple support segments c...
