Abstract

The provided flexible display device has supporting frames on a rolled side of the flexible display screen. When the flexible display screen and the supporting frames are drawn out of a containing body, the supporting frames are combined with the rolled side of the flexible display screen to prevent the flexible display screen from being rolled to influence the viewing effect.

Claims (14)

1. A flexible display device, comprising:

a flexible display screen;

a supporting frame disposed at a rollable side of the flexible display screen; and

a housing for accommodating the flexible display screen and the supporting frame,

wherein the supporting frame is configured to prevent the flexible display screen from being rolled when the flexible display screen is drawn from the housing,

wherein the supporting frame has a second recess, the second recess has an opening for accommodating and holding an edge of the flexible display screen, and the supporting frame comprises a shoulder located at two sides of the second recess and a bottom connected to the shoulder,

wherein the supporting frame is provided with one sheet-shaped anti-roll bar disposed at the bottom of the second recess with a length extended along an entire length of the supporting frame, and

wherein the anti-roll bar has a width and a thickness, and the width is larger than the thickness and smaller than the length of the anti-roll bar, and is perpendicular to a display surface of the flexible display screen when the opening of the second recess accommodates and holds the edge of the flexible display screen,

wherein the housing comprises a first roller for winding the flexible display screen, and a second roller for winding the supporting frame and provided at two ends of the first roller, wherein the first roller has an axis perpendicular to that of the second roller.

2. The flexible display device of claim 1 , wherein the anti-roll bar is a metal bar.
