[0026] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible screen assembly, including: a flexible screen body 1, a fixed plate 2, a driver and a plurality of retractors 3, the flexible screen body 1 and the fixed plate 2 are stacked, the fixed plate 2 is located below the flexible screen body 1 and is arranged parallel to it, and a plurality of retractors 3 are arranged on the fixed plate 2, each retractor 3 can be retracted in a direction perpendicular to the fixed plate 2, and the retractor 3 can drive the flexible screen body 1 when retracting, and the driver is used to drive the retractor 3 to work. The flexible screen body 1 can be rectangular, circular or polygonal in shape, and in this embodiment, the flexible screen body 1 is circular.

[0027] The flexible screen assembly provided in this embodiment, when in use, the flexible screen body 1 is used to play images such as videos or pictures. When the flexible screen body 1 plays the image, the driver drives the telescope 3 on the fixed plate 2 to retract, and the telescope 3 pushes the flexible screen body 1 through the telescope to deform it, thereby forming a three-dimensional display effect in coordination with the image displayed thereon, achieving a display effect similar to "3D". It can be seen that the flexible screen assembly provided in this embodiment, when playing images, can deform the flexible screen body 1 through the work of the telescope 3, and is not limited to a planar state, thereby improving the user's viewing experience. In this embodiment, the flexible screen body 1 can use an existing flexible screen.

[0028] For further information, please refer to Figure 3In this embodiment, the telescope 3 includes a main body 31 and a push-up portion 32 arranged on the main body 31, the push-up portion 32 can reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the fixed plate 2, and the push-up portion 32 is located on the side of the fixed plate 2 facing the flexible screen body 1. Specifically, the push-up portion 32 is spherical, the main body 31 has a telescopic rod that can be axially extended and retracted, the axis of the telescopic rod is perpendicular to the fixed plate 2, and the push-up portion 32 is arranged at the end of the telescopic rod. During operation, the main body 31 controls the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod, driving the push-up portion 32 to move, thereby pushing the flexible screen body 1 to cause deformation. Since the sphere has no edges and corners, setting the push-up portion 32 to a sphere can prevent the push-up portion 32 from causing damage to the flexible screen body 1 when pushing the flexible screen body 1.

[0029] For further information, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, the fixing plate 2 is provided with fixing holes corresponding to the retractors 3, the main body 31 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the push-up portion 32 is provided at the first end of the main body 31, the main body 31 is inserted into the fixing hole, and the second end of the main body 31 extends out of the fixing hole. The main body 31 is cylindrical as a whole, and the aperture of the fixing hole is adapted to the main body 31, so that the main body 31 can be inserted into the fixing hole. The second end of the main body 31 is provided with an electrode, which is connected to the driver so that the driver can control the main body 31.

[0030] The driver includes a PCB board 4 and a driving circuit 41 arranged on the PCB board 4. The PCB board 4 is stacked on the side of the fixed plate 2 away from the flexible screen body 1. The driving circuit 41 is arranged on the surface of the PCB board 4 facing the fixed plate 2, and the driving circuit 41 is in contact with the electrode at the second end of the main body 31. The driving circuit 41 is used to control the main body 31. The specific control method can be to control the main body 31 by controlling the power on and off of the electrode. The driving circuit 41 can use the existing control circuit, and those skilled in the art can fully realize the control of the telescope 3 through the existing control circuit with the support of the existing technology.

[0031] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the flexible screen assembly also includes a first buffer layer, which is arranged between the flexible screen body 1 and the fixed plate 2. Since each retractor 3 pushes the flexible screen body 1 in a "point" shape, when the retractor 3 directly pushes it from the rear of the flexible screen body 1, the deformation reflected in the front of the flexible screen body 1 is also "point" shaped, which will make the flexible screen body 1 very "grainy" when displayed, affecting the user experience. Moreover, directly pushing the flexible screen body 1 is also prone to wear and tear, reducing its service life. By providing a first buffer layer between the flexible screen body 1 and the fixed plate 2, the above problems can be improved. First, due to the existence of the first buffer layer, the retractor 3 directly contacts the first buffer layer, and pushing the first buffer layer drives the flexible screen body 1 to deform. In this way, after the buffering of the first buffer layer, the "grainy" feeling of the flexible screen body 1 during deformation can be effectively reduced. At the same time, due to the isolation of the first buffer layer, the retractor 3 will not directly contact the flexible screen body 1, thereby avoiding wear on the flexible screen body 1.

[0032] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first buffer layer includes an outer frame 7, a flexible reinforcement plate 5 and a plurality of elastic members 6. The size of the flexible reinforcement plate 5 is larger than the size of the flexible screen body 1. The flexible reinforcement plate 5 is stacked with the flexible screen body 1 and is attached to the flexible screen body 1. The outer frame 7 is arranged at the periphery of the flexible reinforcement plate 5, and there is a gap between the outer frame 7 and the flexible reinforcement plate 5. The outer edge of the flexible reinforcement plate 5 and the inner edge of the outer frame 7 are connected by an elastic member 6, and the elastic member 6 is a spring. The flexible reinforcement plate 5 is made of rubber material and can be deformed but cannot be stretched. When the telescopic device 3 pushes the flexible reinforcement plate 5, the edge of the flexible reinforcement plate 5 will shrink inward when the flexible reinforcement plate 5 is deformed. The outer frame 7 and the elastic member 6 can stretch the outer edge of the flexible reinforcement plate 5 outward, so that the flexible reinforcement plate 5 can automatically return to a planar state after the telescopic device 3 no longer pushes it, thereby driving the flexible screen body 1 to return to a planar state.

[0033] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to further reduce the "graininess" of the flexible screen body 1 when it is deformed, in this embodiment, the flexible screen assembly further includes a second buffer layer 8, which is arranged between the first buffer layer and the fixing plate 2, and is made of a silicone material. The second buffer layer 8 can form a secondary buffer, so that the deformation of the flexible screen body 1 when it is pushed by the telescope 3 is smoother and more natural, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] This embodiment also provides a display device, which includes any of the flexible screen components described above.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
