Abstract

The present disclosure proposes a rollable display device, including a scroll and a flexible screen. The scroll includes a housing and a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the housing, and the flexible screen includes a connecting end, the flexible screen is coupled to the rotating shaft through the connecting end, and the flexible screen is configured to be retractably wound on the rotating shaft. The flexible screen includes a cover film and an adhesive frame. The cover film includes a connecting section adjoining the connecting end. The adhesive frame is disposed on a side of the connecting section of the cover film facing the rotating shaft. The connecting section is coupled to the rotating shaft through the adhesive frame, and an orthographic projection of the connecting section on a plane perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotating shaft is arc-shaped or spiral-shaped.

Claims (15)

1. A rollable display device, comprising a scroll and a flexible screen, wherein the scroll comprises a housing and a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the housing; and the flexible screen comprises a connecting end, the flexible screen is coupled to the rotating shaft through the connecting end, and the flexible screen is configured to be retractably wound on the rotating shaft, wherein the flexible screen comprises:

a cover film, wherein the cover film comprises a connecting section adjoining the connecting end; and

an adhesive frame, disposed on a side surface of the connecting section of the cover film facing the rotating shaft;

wherein the connecting section is coupled to the rotating shaft through the adhesive frame, and a coupling position where the adhesive frame is coupled to the connecting end is provided with an adhesive layer, and a thickness of the adhesive layer is gradually increasing along a direction away from the connecting end, and

wherein an edge of the connecting end is provided with a climbing structure coated with adhesive, and the climbing structure coated with adhesive forms a smooth transition from the connecting end to a surface of the rotating shaft.

2. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein as a distance of the adhesive frame relative to the connecting end decreases, a thickness of the adhesive frame gradually decreases.

3. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive frame has a multi-segment structure, and thicknesses of individual segments of the adhesive frame gradually decrease as distances of the individual segments of the adhesive frame relative to the connecting end decrease.

4. The rollable display device according to claim 3 , wherein a thickness of each segment of the adhesive frame gradually decreases as a distance of the segment of the adhesive frame relative to the connecting end decreases.

5. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein as a distance of the adhesive frame relative to the connecting end decreases, a thickness of the adhesive frame at respective positions is the same.

6. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive frame has a multi-segment structure, and as distances of multiple segments of the adhesive frame relative to the connecting end decrease, thicknesses of the multiple segments of the adhesive frame are the same.

7. The rollable display device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover film further comprises a function section, and the function section is coupled to the connecting section; the flexible screen further comprises a composite film layer, wherein the composite film layer is disposed on a side of the function section of the cover film facing the rotating shaft.

8. The rollable display device according to claim 7 , wherein the flexible screen further comprises a support sheet, the support sheet is disposed on a side of the composite film layer facing the rotating shaft, and the support sheet is made from a magnetic material; wherein an electromagnet is provided inside the scroll, and the electromagnet is configured to, when the function section is wound on the scroll, provide a magnetic field acting on the support sheet so that the function section is fixed by magnetic adsorption.

9. The rollable display device according to claim 8 , wherein a cross section of the support sheet in an axial direction of the rotating shaft is in a shape of “ ”.

10. The rollable display device according to claim 7 , wherein the flexible screen further comprises a support sheet, the support sheet is disposed on a side of the composite film layer facing the rotating shaft, and the support sheet is made from a magnetic material; wherein, the rollable display device further comprises:

an under-screen support structure, retractably coupled to the housing, and configured to, when the flexible screen is extended from the housing, support a side surface of the flexible screen where the support sheet is provided, and the support structure is provided with a magnet, and the magnet is magnetically engaged with the support sheet.
