Abstract

A display device, including: a housing, an accommodating space being provided inside the housing, and an opening is provided on the surface of the housing; a reel, rotatably installed in the accommodating space around its own axis; a flexible display screen, having a start end and a terminal end opposite to each other, and a display surface and a fitting surface opposite to each other; the start end is connected to the reel, the terminal end is in a free state, so that the flexible display screen can be rolled or unfolded around the reel; when the flexible display screen is in a rolled state, the flexible display screen is accommodated in the accommodating space, and when the flexible display screen is in an unfolded state, the terminal end extends out of the housing from the opening; and an adsorption device.

Claims (21)

1 . A display device, comprising:

a housing, wherein an accommodating space is provided inside the housing, and an opening is provided on a surface of the housing;

a reel, rotatably installed in the accommodating space around its own axis;

a flexible display screen, having a start end and a terminal end opposite each other, and a display surface and a fitting surface opposite each other; wherein the start end is connected with the reel, and the terminal end is in a free state to allow the flexible display screen is capable of being rolled around the reel or unrolled; and when the flexible display screen is in a rolled state, the flexible display screen is accommodated in the accommodating space, and when the flexible display screen is in an unrolled state, the terminal end extends out of the housing from the opening;

an adsorption device, comprising a display screen adsorption plate located outside the housing, and the display screen adsorption plate is provided with an adsorption surface, wherein when the flexible display screen is in an unrolled state, the adsorption device adsorbs the flexible display screen to enable the fitting surface to be attached to the adsorption surfaces;

wherein the start end of the flexible display screen is connected to the reel via a supporting structure, and the supporting structure is in smooth and transitional connection with the start end; and

wherein the adsorption device further comprises a power device and a power connecting pipe located in the accommodating space; a hollow structure is provided inside the display screen adsorption plate to form an airflow cavity in communication with the power connecting pipe, and the adsorption surface of the display screen adsorption plate is provided with a plurality of air holes in communication with the airflow cavity; and the power device is configured to be connected with the power connecting pipe to form adsorption air pressure for adsorbing the flexible display screen at the plurality of air holes.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a driving device installed in the accommodating space; wherein the driving device is configured to drive the reel to rotate around its own axis to drive the flexible display screen to be rolled or unrolled, and when the flexible display screen is in a rolled state, the flexible display screen is wound around a surface of the reel.

3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the driving device comprises a driving motor and a conveyor belt, the reel is provided with a rotating shaft, the driving motor is provided with a driving shaft, the conveyor belt is connected with the rotating shaft and the driving shaft separately, and the driving shaft drives the rotating shaft to rotate around its own axis by the conveyor belt.

4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the supporting structure is 60 μm-150 μm.

5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting structure is made of rubber.

6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the airflow cavity is 10 μm-12 μm.

7 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the air holes comprise a plurality of rows of air holes evenly arranged in an extension direction of the display screen adsorption plate, and each row of air holes comprise a plurality of air holes.

8 . The display device according to claim 7 , wherein a diameter of each of the plurality of air holes is 6 μm-10 μm.

9 . The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the display screen adsorption plate has a first end closer to the housing and a second end farther from the housing, a distance between a center of an air hole in a row of air holes closest to the second end and the second end is 25 mm-35 mm, and a distance between a center of an air hole in a row of air holes closest to the first end and the first end is 15 mm-25 mm.

10 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is provided with a guide surface, and the guide surface is in smooth and transitional connection with the adsorption surface.

11 . The display device according to claim 10 , wherein an included angle between the adsorption surface and a surface of a side of the housing with the opening is 90°-135°.

12 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen adsorption plate is made of a transparent acrylic plate.

13 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the fitting surface is provided with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) protective film.

14 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen adsorption plate is detachably installed on a surface of a side of the housing with the opening.

15 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the flexible display screen is 100 μm-150 μm.
