The displayed content is controlled by electrical signals. An airbag portion 4 is provided between the display screen 2 and the transparent cover 3 and is located around the display screen 2 for protecting the display screen 2. The airbag portion 4 is located around the display screen 2. The airbag portion 4 includes a back surface and two sides surrounding the display screen 2. The airbag portion 4 is not provided facing the front of the display screen 2. The transparent cover 3 of the display screen 2 is located around the display screen 2 and the airbag portion 4. The interior is filled with gas that can be quickly inflated when impacted. When the device falls, the airbag portion absorbs and disperses the impact force. A rotating hinge structure is provided between the lower edge of the transparent cover 3 and the base 1. The transparent cover 3 can be opened and closed by rotating the hinge structure, thereby protecting the display screen 2 and the transparent cover 3.

[0024] Commonly used materials for the transparent cover 3 include, but are not limited to, glass, tempered glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, commonly known as acrylic), and certain highly transparent composite materials, such as glass and plastic laminated together.

[0025] The provision of the airbag portion 4 can absorb the impact force when the device collides or falls, and at the same time, combined with the transparent cover 3, can buffer and disperse the impact force to a certain extent, thereby effectively protecting the display screen from damage.

[0026] In some specific embodiments, in order to enable the transparent cover 3 to be flipped open and closed, a rotating hinge structure is designed to include a rotating seat 11 and a mounting seat 12.
