Folding Display Module With Preloaded Support Against Screen Creasing

The support plate is pre-configured with preload mechanisms (springs or elastic components) that apply continuous pretension force to the flexible display screen before folding occurs. This preliminary action maintains the screen in a tensioned state during folding operations, preventing the film and adhesive materials from undergoing fatigue plastic deformation and crease formation at bending areas.

The support structure is segmented into a support plate that directly contacts the flexible display screen and separate preload mechanisms (springs or elastic components) that generate the pretension force. This segmentation allows the tensioning function to be achieved through modular components rather than a monolithic complex structure, simplifying the overall design while maintaining screen integrity.

The support plate is designed to be movable relative to the frame, capable of adjusting its position along the first direction based on the folding state. When the device is folded, the support plate moves to accommodate the bent screen while maintaining appropriate pretension. When flattened, it positions to provide optimal support. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to maintain screen integrity across different states without requiring excessive permanent tension that would compromise portability.
