[0002] Currently, consumers are looking for display devices that offer both a large screen and wide viewing angle when in use, and portability when not in use. With the development of flexible display technology, the bendability and foldability of flexible displays have opened up the possibility of portable, large-screen displays. Among these, rollable displays, due to their greater screen expandability, have become a trend in future display development.

[0003] In related art, a rollable display device is equipped with a flexible display screen that can be rolled up and unfolded, and a support member. When the flexible display screen is unfolded, the support member also unfolds and supports the non-display side of the flexible display screen. When the flexible display screen is unfolded, the gap between the flexible display screen and the support member is prone to dust intrusion. In addition, any splashing liquid nearby can also easily enter this gap. Whether dust accumulates in the gap between the flexible display screen and the support member, or liquid enters it, it will adversely affect the performance of the rollable display device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a rollable display device, aiming to improve the dust-proof performance of the rollable display device, thereby improving the problem that dust and splashing liquid can easily enter the gap between the flexible display screen and the support.

[0053] Currently, consumers are looking for display devices that offer both a large screen and wide viewing angle when in use, and portability when not in use. With the development of flexible display technology, the bendability and foldability of flexible displays have opened up the possibility of portable, large-screen displays. Among these, rollable displays, due to their greater screen expandability, have become a trend in future display development.

[0054] In related art, a rollable display device is equipped with a flexible display screen that can be rolled up and unfolded, and a support member. When the flexible display screen is unfolded, the support member also unfolds and supports the non-display side of the flexible display screen. When the flexible display screen is unfolded, the gap between the flexible display screen and the support member is prone to dust intrusion. In addition, any splashing liquid nearby can also easily enter this gap. Whether dust accumulates in the gap between the flexible display screen and the support member, or liquid enters it, it will adversely affect the performance of the rollable display device.

[0055] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application proposes a rollable display device, aiming to improve the dust-proof performance of the rollable display device, thereby improving the problem that dust and splashing liquid can easily enter the gap between the flexible display screen and the support member.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the rollable display device 10 in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes a flexible display screen 100, a support sheet 200, a first scroll 300, a second scroll 400, and a packaging assembly 500. Specifically, the first scroll 300 and the second scroll 400 are parallel to each other, the first end 101 of the flexible display screen 100 is connected to the first scroll 300, and the first end 201 of the support sheet 200 is connected to the second scroll 400. The packaging assembly 500 includes a packaging tape 511, which is configured to expand and retract along a first direction between the first edge 103 of the flexible display screen 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200, wherein the first direction X is the direction in which the flexible display screen 100 is expanded and retracted. The rollable display device 10 has a first state and a second state. When the rollable display device 10 is in the first state, the flexible display screen 100 and the support sheet 200 are both in an unfolded state, with the support sheet 200 supported on the non-display side of the flexible display screen 100. The packaging tape 511 is unfolded between the first edge 103 of the flexible display screen 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200. When the rollable display device 10 is in the second state, the flexible display screen 100 is retracted onto the first reel 300, the support sheet 200 is retracted onto the second reel 400, and the packaging tape 511 is retracted between the first edge 103 of the flexible display screen 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200.

[0057] It will be appreciated that the rollable display device 10 typically also includes a base 700 for accommodating a drive mechanism 600, wherein the drive mechanism 600 is used to drive the flexible display 100 to unfold. This causes one edge of the flexible display 100 to be close to the base 700 and the other edge to be away from the base 700. The first edge 103 of the flexible display 100 refers to the edge of the flexible display 100 that is away from the base 700. Similarly, the support sheet 200 also has one edge close to the base 700 and the other edge away from the base 700. The second edge 203 of the support sheet 200 also refers to the edge of the support sheet 200 that is away from the base 700.

[0058] The rollable display device 10 in the embodiment of the present application has a first state and a second state that can be switched between them, wherein the first state is the in-use state and the second state is the stowed state. When the rollable display device 10 is in the first state, the flexible display 100 is in an unfolded state, allowing the user to enjoy a large-screen, wide-viewing experience. Simultaneously, the support sheet 200 is also in an unfolded state and supported on the non-display side of the flexible display 100 to provide support for the flexible display 100. When the rollable display device 10 is in the second state, the flexible display 100 is retracted onto the first reel 300 and the support sheet 200 is retracted onto the second reel 400. In this state, the rollable display device 10 has excellent portability. Furthermore, the rollable display device 10 also includes a packaging assembly 500, which includes a packaging strip 511 that can be unfolded and retracted along a first direction X between the first edge 103 of the flexible display 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200. When the rollable display device 10 is in the first state, the packaging tape 511 is unfolded between the first edge 103 of the flexible display screen 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200. Thus, the packaging tape 511 can block the gap between the flexible display screen 100 and the support sheet 200, thereby achieving a dust-proof and waterproof effect. That is, under the blocking effect of the packaging tape 511, dust and splashing liquid cannot enter the gap between the flexible display screen 100 and the support sheet 200 through the first edge 103, which is conducive to ensuring the stable performance of the rollable display device 10.

[0059] It is understood that the provision of the base 700 prevents dust and splashing liquid from easily entering the gap between the flexible display 100 and the support sheet 200 from the edge of the flexible display 100 near the base 700. Therefore, dust and water protection is only required between the first edge 103 of the flexible display 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200 using the packaging tape 511.

[0060] In some embodiments, the rollable display device 10 further includes a drive device 600 for driving the flexible display screen 100 and the support sheet 200 to unfold. The drive device 600 includes a slider 610 that can output motion. The motion trajectory of the slider 610 can be a straight line. Thus, by sliding the slider 610, the flexible display screen 100 and the support sheet 200 can be controlled to unfold (the specific unfolding method will be described later).

[0061] Furthermore, the drive device 600 also includes a motor 620 and a ball screw module 630 in transmission connection with the motor 620. The slider 610 is mounted on the ball screw module 630. The motor 620 provides power, while the ball screw module 630 transmits power, converting the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 620 into linear motion of the slider 610. Because the ball screw module 630 is a common transmission mechanism, it will not be described in detail in this application.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 As shown, the packaging assembly 500 further includes a mounting frame 520, which is used to tension the packaging tape 511. The mounting frame 520 is disposed between the first reel 300 and the second reel 400. One end of the mounting frame 520 is fixedly connected to the slider 610, and the other end of the mounting frame 520 is adjacent to the first edge 103 of the flexible display 100. As a result, the mounting frame 520 moves synchronously with the slider 610, thereby driving the packaging tape 511 to expand and retract between the first edge 103 of the flexible display 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200.

[0063] Furthermore, the packaging tape 511 includes a first section 5111 located between the first edge 103 of the first flexible display screen 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200 and extending along a first direction X, a second section 5112 supported on the mounting frame 520 and extending along a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X, and a third section 5113 extending along the first direction X. The first section 5111, the second section 5112, and the third section 5113 are sequentially connected so that the packaging tape 511 is approximately Z-shaped.

[0064] In this embodiment, the packaging tape 511 provides dust and water protection. Specifically, the packaging tape 511 includes three sequentially connected sections: a first section 5111 located between the first edge 103 of the first flexible display 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200 and extending along the first direction X; a second section 5112 supported on the mounting frame 520 and extending along the second direction Y; and a third section 5113 extending along the first direction X. The packaging tape 511 is generally Z-shaped. As the mounting frame 520 linearly moves along the first direction X, the lengths of the first section 5111 and the third section 5113 change. The increase or decrease in length of the first section 5111 allows the packaging tape 511 to expand and retract along the first direction X between the first edge 103 of the flexible display 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200. That is to say, the packaging tape 511 is unfolded along the first direction X between the first edge 103 of the flexible display screen 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200, which is specifically manifested as the length of the first section 5111 becomes longer; the packaging tape 511 is retracted along the first direction X between the first edge 103 of the flexible display screen 100 and the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200, which is specifically manifested as the length of the first section 5111 becomes shorter.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the support sheet 200 includes a main portion 210 and a thinned portion 220. The thinned portion 220 is located near the second edge 203 of the support sheet 200 and is thinner than the main portion 210. The first section 5111 of the packaging tape 511 is located between the thinned portion 220 and the flexible display 100. In this embodiment, the support sheet 200 includes the main portion 210 and the thinned portion 220. The thinned portion 220 is thinner than the main portion 210. This creates a receiving groove between the thinned portion 220 and the flexible display 100, providing space for the first section 5111 of the packaging tape 511. When deployed, the main portion 210 of the support sheet 200 contacts the flexible display 100, thereby providing support for the flexible display 100.

[0066] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 520 includes a bracket 521, a first rolling member 522, and a second rolling member 523. The bracket 521 is connected to the slider 610. The first rolling member 522 is disposed on the bracket 521 and is proximate to the first edge 103 of the flexible display 100. The second rolling member 523 is disposed on the bracket 521 and is proximate to the slider 610. The packaging tape 511 is tensioned between the first and second rolling members 522, 523, and the second section 5112 is located between the first and second rolling members 522, 523. In this embodiment, the mounting frame 520 includes the bracket 521, and the bracket 521 is connected to the slider 610, thereby enabling the mounting frame 520 to move synchronously with the slider 610. The mounting frame 520 further includes a first rolling member 522 and a second rolling member 523 disposed on the bracket 521. The first rolling member 522 is located near the first edge 103 of the flexible display screen 100, and the second rolling member 523 is located near the slider 610. The first and second rolling members 522, 523 are used to tension and steer the packaging tape 511. The first and second sections 5111, 5112 of the packaging tape 511 are joined at the first rolling member 522, and the second and third sections 5112, 5113 are joined at the second rolling member 523. Furthermore, the first and second rolling members 522, 523 are freely rotatable relative to the bracket 521. This configuration reduces friction during the movement of the packaging tape 511, ensuring smoother movement.

[0067] Furthermore, the first rolling element 522 and the second rolling element 523 may be, for example, rollers, roller shafts, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, the packaging assembly 500 further includes a plurality of reinforcing blocks 512 spaced apart along the length of the packaging strip 511. The reinforcing blocks 512 are fixed to the packaging strip 511 and are magnetic. The support sheet 200 is a metal sheet made of a magnetic conductive metal. In this embodiment, the plurality of reinforcing blocks 512 are spaced apart along the length of the packaging strip 511. When the rollable display device 10 is in the first state, some of the reinforcing blocks 512 are spaced apart on the first section 5111 of the packaging strip 511. These reinforcing blocks 512 are magnetically attracted to the support sheet 200 made of a magnetic conductive metal. Since these reinforcing blocks 512 are spaced apart along the first direction X, the flatness of the support sheet 200 is improved when the rollable display device 10 is unfolded.

[0069] In some embodiments, the support sheet 200 is a magnetic steel sheet, thereby enabling the support sheet 200 to be attracted to the reinforcement block 512 while having good structural strength.

[0070] In some embodiments, the reinforcing block 512 is a cylindrical structure. This configuration allows the reinforcing block 512 to easily pass through the first rolling member 522 or the second rolling member 523 when moving with the packaging strip 511, thereby preventing the packaging strip 511 from being unable to move due to the reinforcing block 512 being stuck on the first rolling member 522 or the second rolling member 523.

[0071] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The rollable display device 10 further includes a base 700, which has an internal receiving cavity. The drive device 600 is disposed in the receiving cavity. The base 700 is provided with a through slot extending along the first direction X. One end of the mounting bracket 520 extends through the through slot. The third section 5113 of the packaging tape 511 is located within the receiving cavity, and the second section 5112 extends through the through slot.

[0072] In this embodiment, the rollable display device 10 further includes a base 700, with the drive device 600 disposed within a housing cavity of the base 700. This prevents the drive device 600 from being exposed, thereby maintaining a simple appearance. Furthermore, the third section 5113 of the packaging strip 511 is located within the housing cavity. A through slot 710 extending along the first direction X is provided on the base 700. The second section 5112 and the mounting bracket 520 are both disposed within the through slot 710, allowing the second section 5112 to extend close to the first edge of the flexible display 100.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The rollable display device 10 further includes a first storage housing 800 and a second storage housing 900. The first scroll 300 is disposed in the first storage housing 800. The first storage housing 800 is provided with a first opening for extending the flexible display 100. The second scroll 400 is disposed in the second storage housing 900. The second inner housing is provided with a second opening for extending the support sheet 200. The second end of the flexible display 100 is connected to the second storage housing 900, and the second end of the support sheet 200 is connected to the first storage housing 800. One of the first storage housing 800 and the second housing is connected to the slider 610 or the mounting bracket 520. In the rollable display device 10 of this embodiment, the unfolding process of the flexible display screen 100 is as follows: the slider 610 of the driving device 600 moves along the first direction X, driving a storage shell connected to the slider 610 or the mounting frame 520 to move, so that the first storage shell 800 and the second storage shell 900 move away from each other. Since the first scroll 300 is located in the first storage shell 800 and the second end of the flexible display screen 100 is connected to the second storage shell 900, the second scroll 400 is located in the second storage shell 900 and the second end of the support sheet 200 is connected to the first storage shell 800. Therefore, in the process of the first storage shell 800 and the second storage shell 900 moving away from each other, under the pulling action of the second storage shell 900, the flexible display screen 100 unfolds, and at the same time, under the pulling action of the first storage shell 800, the support sheet 200 unfolds.

[0074] Furthermore, the end of the first segment 5111 away from the second segment 5112 can be connected to one of the first storage shell 800 and the second storage shell 900 that is not driven by the slider 610. At the same time, the end of the third segment 5111 away from the second segment 5112 can be connected to the base 700.

[0075] Furthermore, the rollable display device 10 may also include a guide shaft 1000 arranged in the first storage shell 800 and close to the first opening. The flexible display screen 100 is tensioned on the guide shaft 1000. The guide shaft 1000 plays a guiding role during the movement of the flexible display screen 100 to avoid friction between the flexible display screen 100 and the edge of the first opening when the flexible display screen 100 moves.

[0076] In other embodiments, Figure 10As shown, the rollable display device 10 further includes a first storage housing 800, within which the first scroll 300 and the second scroll 400 are disposed. The first storage housing 800 is provided with a first opening for extending the flexible display 100 and the support sheet 200. The second end of the flexible display 100 and the second end of the support sheet 200 are both connected to the mounting bracket 520. In this embodiment of the rollable display device 10, the flexible display 100 is unfolded as follows: the slider 610 of the driving device 600 moves along the first direction X, driving the mounting bracket 520 connected to the slider 610. Since the second end of the flexible display 100 and the second end of the support sheet 200 are both connected to the mounting bracket 520, the flexible display 100 and the support sheet 200 unfold under the pulling action of the mounting bracket 520.

[0077] Furthermore, one end of the first segment 5111 away from the second segment 5112 can be connected to the first storage shell 800 , and at the same time, one end of the third segment 5111 away from the second segment 5112 can be connected to the base 700 .

[0078] In some embodiments, the rollable display device 10 further includes a first coil spring (not shown) and a second coil spring 1100 . The first coil spring is connected to the first reel 300 , and the second coil spring 1100 is connected to the second reel 400 . In this embodiment, the first coil spring is connected to the first reel 300 , so that the first reel 300 maintains a rotational tendency to rewind the flexible display 100 . The second coil spring 1100 is connected to the second reel 400 , so that the second reel 400 maintains a rotational tendency to rewind the support sheet 200 . In this way, during the process of unfolding and rewinding the flexible display 100 , the flexible display 100 can be kept in a tensioned state, thereby facilitating the flatness of the flexible display 100 after unfolding. Similarly, during the process of unfolding and rewinding the support sheet 200 , the support sheet 200 can be kept in a tensioned state, thereby facilitating the flatness of the support sheet 200 after unfolding. In addition, the flexible display screen 100 and the supporting sheet 200 can be rolled up by the force provided by the first coil spring and the second coil spring 1100 in conjunction with the movement of the slider 610 in the driving device 600 .
