Abstract

Embodiments of the present application disclose a display device including a bendable display panel; a curvature adjusting mechanism, the curvature adjusting mechanism including at least one supporting back plate, the supporting back plate including a back plate body and at least one tightening-loosening member, the tightening-loosening member being deformationally linked with the back plate body; an adjusting portion movably connected to the tightening-loosening member. In the present application, the curvature of the display device may be adjusted by the cooperative work between the curvature adjusting mechanism and the adjusting portion, thereby meeting diversified user requirements.

Claims (39)
