Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a rollable display device, including: a flexible display panel; a reel connected to one end of the flexible display panel, around which the flexible display panel is rollable and extendable; a support structure arranged on two side edges of the flexible display panel in a rolling direction thereof, and provided with a first fixing portion; wherein the reel is provided with a second fixing portion matched with the first fixing portion for fixing the support structure and the reel when the flexible display panel is rolled.

Claims (28)

1. A rollable display device comprising:

a flexible display panel;

a reel connected to one end of the flexible display panel, around which the flexible display panel is rollable and extendable;

a support structure arranged on two side edges of the flexible display panel in a rolling direction, and provided with a first fixing portion;

wherein the reel is provided with a second fixing portion matched with the first fixing portion for fixing the support structure and the reel when the flexible display panel is rolled, wherein

the support structure is configured as a strip structure, and is arranged around the two side edges of the flexible display panel,

the support structure is continuously arranged on the two side edges of the flexible display panel in the rolling direction, or the support structure is arranged at intervals on the two side edges of the flexible display panel in the rolling direction,

the support structure comprises a support protective layer and a flexible cover arranged on the support protective layer in a stacked mode; and

the support protective layer is made of a flexible material with preset elasticity.

2. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the support protective layer in the support structure has an elastic modulus gradually increased from a first end to a second end of the support structure; and

the first end of the support structure is an end close to the reel.

3. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second fixing portion comprises protruding structures arranged at two ends of the reel and uniformly distributed around a circumference of the reel; and

the first fixing portion comprises a plurality of through holes arranged on the support structure and matched with the protruding structures.

4. The rollable display device according to claim 3 , wherein

a distance between adjacent through holes on a first side of a preset position on the support structure is smaller than a distance between adjacent through holes on a second side of the preset position; and

the preset position is a position at which a rolling radius of the flexible display panel is increased, the first side of the preset position is a side of the preset position close to the reel, and the second side of the preset position is a side of the preset position away from the reel.

5. The rollable display device according to claim 4 , wherein

each of the protruding structures has a diameter gradually reduced from a first end to a second end of the protruding structure; and

the first end of the protruding structure is an end connected to the reel.

6. The rollable display device according to claim 5 , wherein

each of the through holes on the first side of the preset position on the support structure has a size larger than each of the through holes on the second side of the preset position.

7. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the flexible display panel comprises a flexible substrate, and a light emitting layer and a flexible cover which are sequentially stacked on the flexible substrate; and

the flexible cover has a thickness not less than the flexible substrate.

8. The rollable display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the flexible display panel and the support structure have the same thickness.
