Flexible Display Guide Component Prevents Wrinkles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flexible display devices suffer from wrinkles when folded, leading to reduced display quality and a shorter lifespan, as the bending portion is easily squeezed by supporting plates, necessitating frequent replacement.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display device with rotatable supporting plates and a guide component between them to prevent the bending portion from being squeezed, allowing the flexible display screen to be folded without wrinkles, thus extending its lifespan.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the flexible display device is folded to enable convenient carrying, then portability is improved, but the bending portion of the flexible display screen is squeezed causing wrinkles and reducing display quality
Solution Approach 1:
A guide component is introduced as an intermediary element between the supporting plates and the flexible display screen. This guide component includes a guide groove that directs and controls the bending path of the flexible display screen during folding, preventing direct contact and squeezing between the supporting plates and the display screen, thereby avoiding wrinkles while maintaining portability
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting plates are designed with separate components: a first supporting plate and a second supporting plate connected via a hinge. This segmentation allows independent movement and rotation of each plate, enabling controlled folding motion that works in conjunction with the guide component to prevent display screen damage
2Ease of operation
If the flexible display screen is folded repeatedly, then convenience for carrying is improved, but the lifespan of the flexible display screen is reduced due to squeezing and wrinkles
Solution Approach 1:
The guide component serves as a protective intermediary that remains in place during repeated folding operations. The guide groove continuously directs the bending path, preventing cumulative damage from squeezing and wrinkle formation, thereby extending the lifespan of the flexible display screen while maintaining convenient portability
Solution Approach 2:
The guide component is pre-installed and positioned before folding occurs. The guide groove is预先 configured to establish the correct bending path, preventing damage before it can occur during the folding action, thus protecting the display screen over multiple use cycles

AI summary
A flexible display device is disclosed. The flexible display device includes a flexible display screen and at least two supporting plates configured to fix the flexible display screen, wherein one supporting plate of the at least two supporting plates is rotatable relative to the other supporting plate until they are overlap each other, and the flexible display device further comprises: a guide component disposed between the two supporting plates and configured to prevent a bending portion of the flexible display from being squeezed by the two adjacent supporting plates. When the flexible display is folded, the bending portion thereof can be held in a space supported by the guide component and the two supporting plates, thereby preventing the problem of wrinkles of the flexible display screen and extending the life time.
