The housing 100 provides a mounting base for other components of the electronic device.

The display 200 is disposed in the housing 100, and the display 200 and the housing 100 form an inner cavity of the device, which may be used to arrange other components of the electronic device. The display screen 200 comprises a first area 210 and a second area 220 which are connected, wherein the first area 210 is a plane area, the second area 220 is positioned at the edge of the display screen 200, and at least the part of the display screen 200 positioned at the second area 220 is a flexible screen. Optionally, in an embodiment, the display screen 200 is integrally configured as a flexible screen, that is, the portions of the display screen 200 located in the first area 210 and the second area 220 are both flexible screens; in another embodiment, the portion of the display screen 200 located in the first area 210 is a hard screen, and the portion of the display screen 200 located in the second area 220 is a flexible screen.

The deformation driving part 300 is positioned in the inner cavity of the device and is connected with the second region 220, the deformation driving part 300 can deform and drive the second region 220 to switch between a flattening state and a bending state through deformation, in the flattening state, the second region 220 is in a plane, and the second region 220 and the first region 210 are positioned in the same plane; in the bent state, the second region 220 has a curved surface. Under the action of the deformation driving part 300, the second region 220 can be switched between the flat state and the bent state, so that a user can switch the state of the second region 220 according to the use requirements in different scenes.

The buffering energy-absorbing device 400 comprises a first magnetic member 410 and a second magnetic member 420, the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 are both arranged in an inner cavity of the device, the first magnetic member 410 is connected with the deformation driving portion 300, the second magnetic member 420 is connected with the shell 100, the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 are arranged oppositely, and at least one of the magnetic poles of the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 is variable and the magnetic force is adjustable. Therefore, when the second area 220 needs to be in a flat state, the opposite magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 410 and the second magnetic element 420 can be set to be the same, and a larger magnetic force is set, so as to generate a larger repulsive force, so that the energy-absorbing buffer 400 can apply a larger supporting force to the second area 220 of the display screen 200, thereby facilitating a user to perform operations such as touch control on the second area 220; when the second region 220 needs to assume the bent state, the opposite magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 410 and the second magnetic element 420 can be set to be opposite, or the magnetic force of the first magnetic element 410 and the second magnetic element 420 can be changed, so that the buffering energy-absorbing device 400 applies a smaller supporting force to the second region 220 of the display screen 200, so that the second region 220 is kept in the bent state, which is beneficial to improving the holding feeling of a user. The first magnetic member 410 may be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet, and the second magnetic member 420 may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In addition, when the second region 220 of the display screen 200 is collided, since the magnetic poles and the magnetic force of at least one of the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 can be changed, the relative distance between the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 can be changed, so that the external force applied to the second region 220 can be absorbed, the second region 220 can be prevented from being damaged, and the service life of the electronic device can be prolonged.

When the second area 220 of the display screen 200 needs to be in a bent state or a flattened state, the power supply part 500 supplies power to the electrostrictive structure through the electrical connector 700, so that the second area 220 of the display screen 200 can be switched between the flattened state and the bent state, and thus, the user can use the electronic device in different scenes. The electrostrictive structure can deform when being electrified, and the deformation of the deformation driving part 300 is realized without additionally increasing a driving structure, so that the embodiment can simplify the structure of the electronic equipment and improve the space utilization rate of the electronic equipment; meanwhile, the deformation of the electrostrictive structure is relatively uniform, thereby driving the second region 220 to stably implement state switching. Further optionally, the deformation driving part 300 is a shape memory material piece.

Therefore, at least two buffering energy-absorbing devices 400 are distributed at intervals along the direction extending from the middle part to the edge of the display screen 200, so that the acting force applied during collision can be distributed on the plurality of buffering energy-absorbing devices 400, the deformation driving part 300 can be protected more favorably, and the supporting effect of the buffering energy-absorbing devices 400 on the second area 220 can be optimized. Further, the first end of each energy absorption device 400 is connected to the deformation driving portion 300, and the second end of each energy absorption device 400 is connected to the shell 100, so that the position of each energy absorption device 400 is relatively fixed, thereby facilitating to improve the supporting effect of the energy absorption device 400 on the second region 220.
