Electronic devices such as handheld notebooks (PDAs), electronic translators, satellite navigation machines (GPAs), and even handheld game instruments have been widely used in the market. For the user, it is expected that the size of the electronic device can be light and easy to carry; but the smaller the size also limits the size of the liquid crystal screen, making the size smaller, and the smaller LCD screen after a long time of use. It is easier to get tired of the eyes and get myopia. Past research literature has suggested the use of a folded flat liquid crystal screen. Therefore, when the electronic device needs to be carried out, the volume can be reduced, and when it is necessary to use it, the size of the screen can be enlarged. The principle is to combine several flat-panel displays with connecting devices, each of which presents a small portion of the picture, so the overall effect is like the size of the screen is enlarged. However, the connection device between the number=screens reduces the aesthetics of the visual presentation, and the user seems to be cut when viewing the face, and cannot be perfectly and continuously presented. In order to overcome the problem that the visual 昼 plane of the plane 骑 式 仿 仿 仿 仿 仿 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' , 201009539 The connection between the screen's cut display seems to be a less obvious problem. 'Document Ξ = kind of soft display (four) orphan display) has also been proposed, the document W New Display (four) can be cut at a certain age of tolerance, because the design of the drum type to accommodate the soft display, t need to use the display and then extract from the roller A folding soft display has also been proposed in the literature. Compared with the problem of dividing the screen by the addition of a low-connecting device, the folding soft type is displayed in the two folds.

Due to the availability of the soft age device, it seems to be the best material for expanding the display. A soft display is still in the laboratory stage, so the price is still much more expensive than flat-panel displays that are already prevalent in the market. In addition, the touch panel of the flat panel display has become a very popular display surface, and its technology has been quite mature 'widely used in translation machines, handheld notebooks, mobile phones, notebook computers, etc.' and the literature The method of using the prism sheet to improve the picture cutting problem of the finger-stacked flat display n will not be applicable to some touch-type glory screens. Compared with the prior patented technology, U.S. Patent No. 6,643,124 has proposed a three-screen main screen computer, which is an input screen, a function screen, and a result output screen. The present invention differs from the previous case in that the present invention proposes to combine a plurality of screens into a large screen, each sub-screen exhibiting a part of the face, so that the overall appearance of the face is enlarged. In addition, in the document of U.S. Patent No. 6,637,324, it has been proposed that the folding soft display 设计 is designed with a groove structure at the fold so that the flexible display 201009539 can be used to accommodate the bending when it is closed without being used. Avoid soft displays being crushed. However, the former case uses a large-sized flexible display device as a display material, which is currently quite expensive. The soft display material used in the present invention is less used, and is only used for a folded joint, which saves a lot of cost. In U.S. Patent No. 5,734,513, it has been proposed to place an optical element on top of a two-fold folding display device for amplification, which can improve the disadvantage of the folding display screen being segmented, by which the optical component can be expanded. The display looks like a continuous, complete display, but it won't work for some touch-sensitive displays. In U.S. Patent No. 6,575,496, a foldable electronic device has been proposed. When the electronic device is folded, the external display screen can be used as a mobile phone screen; when the electronic device is deployed, it can be used as a PDA (Palm-type Notepad). For the electronic device on the unfolding side, it is a flexible display that uses a large piece and is currently quite expensive. 'The soft display material used in this application is less, and it is only used for the folded connection, which saves a lot of cost. [Summary of the Invention] The size of the Γ 于 于 于 于 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 电子 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有 具有Part of it, "Made - can achieve the effect of screen size enlargement ^ So the overall vision is that the present invention is proposed to be connected by a flexible display between the flat display screens, 201009539 w produces a continuous effect of the screen' and due to the soft display The bendability makes it adapt to the fold of the folding display. Bending to achieve the purpose: technology, phase (10) touch-type flat liquid crystal coil = month, the soft display material used is less, it only Use = segment 'its = fold = connection' and the soft display is still in the lab stage 'two still more than the flat display that is already on the market 11 angs 2: use a large piece of soft display as the entire folding display Second, the second part of the present invention utilizes a part of the cost of the flexible display. The cost and the spirit of the present invention can be further improved by the following detailed description of the invention. [Embodiment] This month is an electronic device with a folding LCD screen and can be used in various mobile electronic devices. The foldable _ screen rib is used to make the window (4) into a peach face. The individual/knifes are placed on the sub-screens' and these sub-screens allow the user to see the overall window in a combined manner. This means that each sub-screen displays only a part of the window, and together they can see a complete large Window. However, this combination method may cause the facet image to be divided due to the influence of the intermediate combination mechanism. Therefore, the present invention proposes to use a flexible display to connect the combination between the flat liquid crystal sub-screens. The visual picture segmentation can be replaced by a soft display for better visual continuity. Due to the flexibility of the soft display 201009539, it can be adapted to the folding of the finger-fold display screen. Display the screen when not in use_ The _ is soft and the display is curved; when it is used, the screen is spread out and the soft display is spread out.

The base 11 of the palm-type amusement instrument and the base 12 are combined by the connecting device 13, thereby making the foldable palm-type amusement instrument have a foldable effect. One of the flat liquid crystal display screens 14 is fixed on the base 12, and the flat liquid crystal display screen 15 is fixed on the base 11. When the flat liquid crystal display screen 14 and the flat liquid crystal display screen 15 are combined into a larger size display When the 'Flexible Display' 16 is connected to the connection between the two flat liquid crystal display screens 14 and the flat liquid crystal display screen 15, the visual effect is as a whole and continuous picture. In addition, the base u and the base 12 There is an elongated recess 17 between the joints 13 which, when folded out by the user, can accommodate the bluish flexible display 16 to prevent it from being damaged by damage. Figure 2 is for money. _ Read the crystal display of the money screen. The picture shows in Figure 2 that when the screen is folded, the flexible display 16 can be bent and received into the groove 17 β to avoid it. The pressure is damaged, and the flat liquid crystal display screen 14 and the flat liquid crystal display screen 15 have a touch function. As shown in FIG. 3, another electronic device device applied to the field of mobile phones having a foldable liquid crystal display screen* is mounted between the flat liquid crystal display screen 31 and the flat liquid crystal display screen to form a Display screen of continuous plane. The structural principle of the flexible display 33 at the connection is the same as that of the second figure. The connection is designed with a recess to accommodate the storage space of the flexible display device when the 201009539 is not used, and the flat liquid crystal display screen 31 and the flat liquid crystal display screen 32. It also has a touch function. 4A and 4B are views of an electronic device having a palm-type notebook and a mobile phone function, which is a folding type liquid crystal display screen. As shown in FIG. 4A, when in the folded state, it has the call and function of the mobile phone 41. As shown in Fig. 4B, when in the open state, it has the function of a palm-type notebook. For example, when the spreader is seen, the base 44 of the palm-type notebook and the base 47 and the like are connected to each other, and the two bases are connected via a connecting device to have a folding effect. A flat liquid crystal display screen 43 having a touch function and a flat liquid crystal display screen 45 are fixed to the base 44 and the base 47, respectively. The flat liquid crystal display screen 43 and the flat liquid crystal display screen 45 are connected by a flexible display 42 to form a display screen having a continuous plane. The flexibility of the flexible display 42 makes it possible to adapt to the folding and spreading movement of the machine, as shown in Fig. 2.
