Abstract
This application provides a foldable device, relating to the field of electronic device technology, to solve the problems of large thickness and low screen-to-body ratio in foldable devices. The foldable device may include a flexible screen, a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge, with the first and second housings symmetrically arranged about the hinge. The flexible screen includes a back panel with opposing first and second surfaces, the back of which is disposed on the first surface. The first housing includes a first main body and a first side frame fixedly connected, the first main body having a first mounting surface, the second surface of the back panel disposed on the first mounting surface, and the first side frame having a first limiting surface, with the back panel positioned between the first limiting surface and the first mounting surface. In the example provided in this application, the first side frame effectively restricts the back panel of the flexible screen, which helps reduce the thickness of the foldable device and reduces the obstruction of the flexible screen by the first and second side frames, thus improving the screen-to-body ratio of the foldable device.
