Flexible Display Device With Retractable Telescopic Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible display devices require external support and have limited display modes, making them inconvenient to operate and carry, and unable to provide multiple viewing experiences.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a flexible display panel, a foldable shell, and a telescopic member that can be stretched or contracted to support and lock the shell in different configurations, allowing for both upright and double-sided display modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible display device is made deformable and bendable, then it can provide multiple display modes and viewing experiences, but it requires external supporting devices during operation which makes the structure complex and inconvenient to operate and carry
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic member is designed to perform multiple functions: it acts as a support leg when extended to enable upright display modes, and when retracted, it allows the shell to be folded for portable storage. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate external supporting devices, resolving the contradiction between providing multiple display modes and maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic member transitions between extended and retracted states dynamically, allowing the display device to switch between different operational modes (upright display, folded storage) as needed. This dynamic adaptability enables the device to provide multiple display configurations without requiring a complex fixed structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible display device is made deformable and bendable, then it can provide multiple display modes and viewing experiences, but it becomes inconvenient to operate and carry
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic member serves dual purposes: providing structural support during operation and enabling compact folding for portability. By integrating these functions into a single component, the device achieves multiple display modes while maintaining ease of operation and carrying, directly addressing the contradiction between versatility and operational convenience.
3Ease of operation
If the shell is folded in half for portable storage, then it becomes convenient to carry, but the telescopic member needs to be securely locked to maintain the folded state
Solution Approach 1:
The locking portion automatically engages with the telescopic member when the shell is folded, creating a self-locking mechanism that maintains the folded state without requiring additional active components or user intervention. This self-service locking approach ensures reliability while preserving the simplicity and convenience of the folding operation.

AI summary
A display device is provided. The display device comprises: a flexible display panel; a shell capable of being folded, wherein the shell comprises a plate surface for carrying the flexible display panel, a clamping portion including a first slot, and a locking portion including a second slot; and a telescopic member retractable along a longitudinal direction of the telescopic member. In a first state of the display device, the telescopic member is stretched, a first end of the telescopic member is inserted into the first slot and a second end of the telescopic member is located outside the display device as a supporting point to support the display device. In a second state of the display device, the telescopic member is contracted, the first end of the telescopic member is inserted into the first slot, and the second end of the telescopic member is inserted into the second slot.
