Dynamically bendable display device
View Patent ↗A dynamically bendable display device is disclosed. When an external force is being applied, a bending angle of a first screen can be arbitrarily changed, and cylinders after bending are moving to push against each other. When stop applying the external force, a supporting force exists among the cylinders, thereby to enable the first screen to remain still in any state of bending, and to realize dynamically bending of the first screen.
1. A dynamically bendable display device, comprising:
a first screen comprising a first display surface and a first connecting end disposed at an edge of the first display surface, a bending area disposed between the first connecting end and the first display surface of the first screen, and a plurality of cylinders arranged in parallel with each other and disposed in the bending area;
wherein the plurality of cylinders are enabled to move to push against or spread apart from each other by an external force applied to the first screen, so that the first screen is dynamically bendable, wherein the first screen further comprises a chamber disposed in the bending area, the cylinders are disposed in the chamber and connected to a side wall of the chamber facing the second screen, and
the dynamically bendable display device further comprising at least a resilient connecting element, and the resilient connecting element comprising a connecting rod and two enlarged heads disposed at two ends of the connecting rod, respectively, wherein each of the cylinders is a hollow cylinder having at least an opening on a side wall of the cylinder, and the enlarged heads of the resilient connecting element are inserted into the openings of adjacent two of the cylinders.
2. The dynamically bendable display device of claim 1 , wherein the opening has a length greater than a diameter of the connecting rod, so that the resilient connecting element is movable along the opening.
3. The dynamically bendable display device of claim 1 , wherein a gap is formed between adjacent two of the cylinders when the first screen is not bent.
4. The dynamically bendable display device of claim 1 , further comprising a second screen, wherein the second screen comprises a second display surface and a second connecting end disposed at an edge of the second display surface, the first display surface and the second display surface are disposed corresponding to each other, and the first connecting end is connected to the second connecting end, so that the first screen is bendable with respect to the second screen.
5. The dynamically bendable display device of claim 4 , wherein the first connecting end and the second connecting end are fixed by a connecting structure, wherein an elastic buffer block is disposed between the first connecting end and the second connecting end and is connected to the first connecting end and the second connecting end.
6. The dynamically bendable display device of claim 5 , wherein the connecting structure is a mounting frame mounted to outer peripheries of the first connecting end and the second connecting end, so that the first screen and the second screen are further fixed.
7. The dynamically bendable display device of claim 6 , wherein the mounting frame has a flexible structure, and a protective glue is disposed on an edge of the mounting frame.
8. The dynamically bendable display device of claim 6 , wherein the mounting frame has a flexible structure and edges gradually decreasing in thickness to be curved in shape.
