Optionally, the flexible display 210 is a light-resistant curtain; further optionally, a weight bar 213 with a certain weight is fixed to the free end 212 to improve the stability of the flexible display 210 in the free state. It is understood that, even though the display device 200 of the present embodiment includes the flexible display member 210, the reel and the storage box 220 at the same time, the present invention is not limited thereto; for example, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the display device 200 only includes the flexible display element 210 and a reel, the reel is directly and rotatably mounted on the stand assembly 120, and the mounting end 211 of the flexible display element 210 is fixed to the reel; for another example, in other embodiments of the present invention, the display device 200 includes only the flexible display member 210, and the mounting end 211 of the flexible display member 210 is detachably fixed to the bracket 100. Further, in order to facilitate the user to drive the flexible display element 210 to be pulled up or rolled to a specific length as required, so as to present a set pattern projected by the light projection device 300, or to enable the user to conveniently see the vehicle to be tested in front of the calibration apparatus when the stand assembly 120 pushes the bracket 100 at a side (shown in the drawing) away from the flexible display element 210, the display device 200 further includes a driving module (not shown).

The transmission mechanism can also be a synchronous belt mechanism, for example, the transmission mechanism comprises a first belt wheel, a second belt wheel and a synchronous belt, the first belt wheel is installed on the output shaft of the motor, the second belt wheel is installed at the end part of the scroll, the synchronous belt is wound on the first belt wheel and the second belt wheel, the diameter of the first belt wheel is smaller than that of the second belt wheel, so that the synchronous belt mechanism can transmit the power of the motor to the scroll on one hand, and can reduce the rotating speed of the motor to a proper rotating speed on the other hand, so that the rotating speed of the scroll is moderate, namely, the speed of releasing or winding the flexible display part 210 is moderate. It can be understood that the transmission mechanism can also be a combination of a gear set mechanism and a synchronous belt mechanism, and of course, the transmission mechanism can also be other mechanisms as long as the transmission mechanism is simultaneously connected with the motor and the reel and can transmit the power of the motor to the reel. Of course, the driving module may also be in other structural forms, and it is not limited to the above-mentioned automatic driving mechanism, but it may also be a manual driving mechanism as long as it can drive the reel to rotate; for example, in other embodiments of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a hand wheel, the central shaft of the hand wheel passes through the receiving box and is fixed to the end of the winding shaft, and the user can rotate the hand wheel to drive the winding shaft to rotate.

Optionally, the reinforcing member 144 includes a first reinforcing rod and a second reinforcing rod, and the first reinforcing rod and the second reinforcing rod are fixedly connected, that is, an included angle between the first reinforcing rod and the second reinforcing rod is fixed; alternatively, the first and second reinforcing bars are movably connected, i.e. the included angle between the first and second reinforcing bars is adjustable, to adapt to the flexibility or mobility of the vertical bar 1431.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the calibration apparatus is further modified from the vertical rod 1431 to facilitate adjusting the height of the display device 200 and the light projection device 300 relative to the base 110 to meet different vehicle types and scene requirements.

Specifically, one of the first and second fixtures includes a magnet, and the other includes a magnetic member that is attracted by the magnet. Wherein the magnetic member may be a magnet capable of generating a magnetic field, i.e., having magnetism itself; other magnetic elements that are not capable of generating a magnetic field by themselves, but are magnetized in a magnetic field so as to be magnetic, are also possible. Optionally, the second fixing member comprises a magnet, and the first fixing member is a part of a structure of the bracket facing the flexible display member 210, such as a vertical rod 1431 in the figure; further optionally, the second fixing member is the weight bar 213; then when the free end 212 is pulled to any position, it need only be close to the vertical post 1431 and the free end 212 will be fixed relative to the bracket 100. The second fixing element may be detachably fixed to the free end 212, or may be non-detachably fixed to the free end 212; similarly, the first fixing element may be detachably fixed to the bracket 100, or may be non-detachably fixed to the bracket 100.
