Abstract

Disclosed is a display device. The display device may include a flexible display panel; a flexible plate which is positioned in a rear side of the display panel, and coupled to the display panel; a driving module which is coupled to a rear side of the plate, and has a slider that linearly reciprocates; a wing which extends long, has one end coupled to the slider, has the other end coupled to the rear side of the plate, and has a pivot shaft positioned, between the one end and the other end, to be adjacent to the one end; and a wing bracket which is adjacent to the pivot shaft and fixed to the rear side of the plate, and coupled to the pivot shaft.

Claims (47)

1 . A display device comprising:

a flexible display panel;

a flexible plate at a rear of the display panel, and coupled to the display panel;

a driving module coupled to a rear side of the flexible plate, and including a slider linearly moving;

a wing extending long, and including one end coupled to the slider and the other end coupled to the rear side of the flexible plate, the wing including a pivot shaft between the one end and the other end adjacent to the one end; and

a wing bracket fixed to the rear side of the flexible plate and coupled to the pivot shaft,

wherein the slider moves in a thickness direction of the display panel.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the driving module comprises:

a front bracket fixed to the rear side of the flexible plate;

a rear bracket facing the front bracket; and

a lead screw extending long from the front bracket toward the rear bracket, rotatably coupled to the front bracket or the rear bracket, and aligned parallel with the thickness direction of the display panel,

wherein the slider linearly moving according to a rotation of the lead screw.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the driving module further comprises:

a first guide shaft in parallel with the lead screw, the first guide shaft fixed to the front bracket or the rear bracket; and

a second guide shaft in parallel with the lead screw, the second guide shaft fixed to the front bracket or the rear bracket and being opposite to the first guide shaft with respect to the lead screw.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein the driving module further comprises a slider guide into which the first guide shaft and the second guide shaft are inserted, and which is movable on the first guide shaft and the second guide shaft and fixed to the slider.

5 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the driving module comprises:

a motor positioned at a lower side of the front bracket and the rear bracket and including a rotating shaft;

a worm fixed to the rotating shaft;

a worm gear engaged with the worm;

a transmission gear fixed to a rotating shaft with the worm gear; and

a driving gear fixed to the lead screw and engaged with the transmission gear.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein the driving module further comprises:

a disk indicator fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor; and

a sensor positioned adjacent to the disk indicator and detecting a rotation of the disk indicator.

7 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the driving module further comprises:

a pin indicator fixed on the slider; and

a sensor fixed to the front bracket or the rear bracket and detecting the pin indicator.

8 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the wing bracket further comprises:

an upper bracket positioned at an upper side of the wing;

a lower bracket positioned at a lower side of the wing; and

a pin connecting with the upper bracket and the lower bracket and inserted into the pivot shaft of the wing.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the wing comprises:

a lever extending long between the one end and the pivot shaft; and

a wing plate extending long between the other end and the pivot shaft,

wherein a width of the wing plate is greater than a width of the lever.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the wing further comprises a rib which is positioned between the flexible plate and the wing, extends long from the wing plate to the lever, and is formed on a surface of the lever and the wing plate.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the wing further comprises:

a wing end which is connected to the wing plate, and forms the other end of the wing; and

an end pin formed to protrude from one side surface of the wing end.

12 . The display device of claim 11 , further comprising a sliding mount positioned between the flexible plate and the wing end, fixed to the flexible plate, and coupled to the wing end,

wherein the sliding mount comprises:

a sidewall facing the one side surface of the wing end; and

a guide slot which is formed to penetrate the sidewall, and into which the end pin is inserted.

13 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the end pin is rectangular,

the guide slot is rectangular, and a long side of the guide slot is larger than a long side of the end pin.

14 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the end pin is in contact with the sliding mount.
