Abstract

A rollable display device includes a display panel; a support disposed on a rear surface of the display panel; a fixing bracket to which a first end of the support and a first end of the display panel are fixed; a roller to which a second end of the support is fixed; a first link including a first end coupled to the fixing bracket; a second link including a first end fastened to a second end of the first link; and a driver connected to a second end of the second link.

Claims (47)

1. A rollable display device comprising:

a display panel;

a support disposed on a rear surface of the display panel;

a fixing bracket to which a first end of the support and a first end of the display panel are fixed;

a roller to which a second end of the support is fixed;

a first link including a first end coupled to the fixing bracket;

a second link including a first end fastened to a second end of the first link; and

a driver connected to a second end of the second link,

wherein the second link is rotated by the driver.

2. The rollable display device of claim 1 , wherein the second link is bolt-nut fastened to the first link.

3. The rollable display device of claim 2 , wherein the first end of the second link includes a bolt, and the second end of the first link includes a nut.

4. The rollable display device of claim 3 , wherein an insertion length of the second link into the first link is adjusted as the second link is rotated by the driver.

5. The rollable display device of claim 4 , wherein

the display panel is rolled as the insertion length of the second link into the first link is reduced, and

the display panel is unrolled as the insertion length of the second link into the first link is increased.

6. The rollable display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first end of the first link is coupled to the fixing bracket through a connection member, and

the connection member includes a ball bearing.

7. The rollable display device of claim 1 , wherein the driver includes a motor.

8. The rollable display device of claim 7 , wherein the driver includes a motor rotary shaft connected to the motor, a connection rotary shaft facing the motor rotary shaft, and a belt surrounding the motor rotary shaft and the connection rotary shaft.

9. The rollable display device of claim 8 , wherein the connection rotary shaft connected to the motor rotary shaft through the belt is rotated in a same direction as the motor rotary shaft when the motor rotary shaft is rotated by the motor.

10. The rollable display device of claim 9 , wherein the connection rotary shaft includes a first end portion and a second end portion,

The first end portion includes a first fixing portion which fixes ends of a first shaft of a first joint, and

the second end portion includes a second fixing portion which fixes ends of a first shaft of a second joint.

11. The rollable display device of claim 10 , wherein

the second link includes a second link at a first side and a second link at a second side,

the second link at the first side includes a third fixing portion which fixes ends of a second shaft crossing the first shaft of the first joint to the other end, and

the second link at the second side includes a fourth fixing portion which fixes ends of a second shaft crossing the first shaft of the second joint to the other end.

12. The rollable display device of claim 11 , wherein

the first link includes a first link at a first side, and a first link at a second side,

the first link at the first side is fastened to the second link at the first side, and

the first link at the second side is fastened to the second link at the second side.

13. The rollable display device of claim 12 , wherein the first link at the first side is bolt-nut fastened to the second link at the first side.

14. The rollable display device of claim 13 , wherein the first link at the second side is bolt-nut fastened to the second link at the second side.

15. The rollable display device of claim 14 , wherein

the first link at the first side is fixed to a first side of the fixing bracket through a first connection member, and

the first link at the second side is fixed to a second side of the fixing bracket through a second connection member.

16. The rollable display device of claim 15 , wherein the second link at the first side and the second link at the second side are rotated by the driver in a same direction as each other.

17. A rollable display device comprising:

a display panel;

a fixing bracket to which a first end of the display panel is fixed;

a first link at a first side and a first link at a second side, which are rotatably coupled to sides of the fixing bracket, respectively;

a second link at a first side connected to the first link at the first side, and a second link at a second side connected to the first link at the second side; and

a driver which simultaneously rotates the second link at the first side and the second link at the second side.

18. The rollable display device of claim 17 , wherein the second link at the first side and the second link at the second side are rotated by the driver in a same direction as each other.

19. The rollable display device of claim 17 , wherein the first link at the first side is bolt-nut fastened to the second link at the first side, and the first link at the second side is bolt-nut fastened to the second link at the second side.

20. The rollable display device of claim 17 , wherein the first link at the first side and the first link at the second side are coupled to each other through a connection member of the fixing bracket, and the connection member includes a ball bearing.
