Benefits of technology

The solution effectively prevents the foldable display area from collapsing and wrinkling by providing necessary support during use, enhancing durability and longevity by preventing peeling due to finger pressing and bending.

Problems solved by technology

However, when a current foldable display device is in an unfolded state, a foldable display area in a center of its flexible display panel is not supported.
Therefore, when a finger presses the foldable display area for touch control, the foldable display area is prone to collapse.
Furthermore, the foldable display area is also prone to wrinkle after being bent several times, thereby causing peeling.

Abstract

A foldable display device comprises a flexible display panel, a first bottom shell, a second bottom shell, a lifting mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The flexible display panel comprises a first display area, a second display area, and a foldable display area between the first display area and the second display area. The first bottom shell, the second bottom shell, and the transmission mechanism are respectively disposed below the first display area, the second display area, and the foldable display area. The transmission mechanism is rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism and is configured to make a support member of the lifting mechanism to provide support for the foldable display area when the foldable display device is in an unfolded state. This prevents the foldable display area from collapsing due to finger pressing, or wrinkling and peeling due to bending.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display devices, and particularly to a foldable display device.BACKGROUND[0002]Flexible display panels, such as organic light emitting diode display panels, are used to implement foldable display devices due to their flexibility.[0003]However, when a current foldable display device is in an unfolded state, a foldable display area in a center of its flexible display panel is not supported. Therefore, when a finger presses the foldable display area for touch control, the foldable display area is prone to collapse. Furthermore, the foldable display area is also prone to wrinkle after being bent several times, thereby causing peeling. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a foldable display device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.SUMMARY OF DISCLOSURE[0004]In order to solve the technical problems that the foldable display area of the current foldable display device is prone to collapse due to...
