Foldable Display Support Structure With Anti-Degumming Buffer Bar

The patent introduces a dynamic buffer zone between the flexible screen and bending skeleton through the flexible supporting bar structure. The buffer zone allows controlled relative movement during folding/unfolding cycles, transforming the rigid connection into a dynamic system that accommodates dimensional changes while maintaining overall connection integrity.

The flexible supporting bar acts as an intermediary element between the flexible screen and the bending skeleton. It includes a buffer zone that mediates the interaction between these two components, absorbing relative displacement and preventing direct contact that would cause degumming, while still maintaining structural support.

The flexible supporting bar is designed with a buffer zone that enables dynamic adjustment of the gap between the flexible screen and bending skeleton. During folding, the buffer zone expands to accommodate the thickness of the bending supporting portion, and during unfolding, it contracts to minimize the gap, thereby maintaining stable relative positioning while preserving supporting strength.

The patent changes the parameter of the gap distance between the flexible screen and bending skeleton from a fixed value to a variable parameter. The buffer zone allows this gap to dynamically change based on the folding state, expanding when needed to accommodate structural thickness and contracting to maintain stability, thus resolving the contradiction between supporting strength and position stability.

The flexible supporting bar is segmented into distinct functional zones: the buffer zone and the connecting portions. This segmentation allows the buffer zone to handle relative displacement while the connecting portions provide stable bonding points, distributing the connection function across multiple discrete elements rather than a continuous complex structure.

Instead of providing continuous bonding along the entire interface, the patent uses discrete connecting portions spaced at intervals. This partial action approach provides sufficient connection strength at critical points while leaving gaps that accommodate the buffer zone, reducing overall structural complexity compared to continuous bonding.
