Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Flexible display devices face issues with damage due to excessive bending or reverse bending, leading to abnormal displays when in states of being flattened or bent.
Innovation Solution
A support structure for flexible display modules, comprising a plurality of brackets and connecting assemblies, allows the flexible display module to be supported and adjusted to maintain a flat or curved display surface by limiting the included angle between adjacent brackets within a specific range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the flexible display module is allowed to bend freely to achieve flexibility and portability, then the device becomes more adaptable and portable, but the display module may suffer damage from excessive bending or reverse bending
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure employs brackets that can dynamically adjust their included angles to control the bending state of the flexible display module. The brackets are designed to rotate relative to each other, enabling the display module to transition between flat and bent states while preventing excessive or reverse bending through controlled angular ranges.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent controls the bending parameters of the flexible display module by limiting the included angle between adjacent brackets. By changing the angular parameter of the brackets, the system regulates the degree and direction of bending, ensuring the display module operates within safe bending limits while maintaining flexibility.
2Reliability
If the support structure includes multiple brackets and connecting assemblies to control bending angles, then the reliability and display performance are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into multiple brackets and connecting assemblies, with each bracket capable of independent angular adjustment. This segmentation allows precise control over different sections of the flexible display module, enabling reliable protection while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.

AI summary
A support structure for a flexible display module is provided. The support structure for the flexible display module includes a plurality of brackets and a connecting assembly. The plurality of brackets are sequentially arranged in a first direction, and extend in a second direction, the second direction intersects the first direction. A connecting assembly is connected to two adjacent brackets, so that the two adjacent brackets are capable of rotating with each other in a set plane. The set plane is perpendicular to the second direction. The connecting assembly is configured to limit an included angle formed between the two adjacent brackets to be within a range of a first angle and a second angle, inclusive.
