第一主體111具有第一表面111s。第二主體112具有第二表面112s。第三主體113具有第三表面113s。第四主體114具有第四表面114s。柔性顯示面板190設置於第一表面111s、第二表面112s、第三表面113s與第四表面114s。第一表面111s、第二表面112s、第三表面113s與第四表面114s每一者可為平面,以使在第二狀態下,柔性顯示面板190能順利地被攤平於第一表面111s、第二表面112s、第三表面113s與第四表面114s。The
因此,當摺疊式顯示裝置100被攤平而處於第二狀態時,第四主體114位於第二表面112s與第三表面113s之間,第一表面111s、第二表面112s、第三表面113s與第四表面114s可以共平面,而柔性顯示面板190會被攤平。須說明的是,當摺疊式顯示裝置100處於第二狀態時,第一表面111s、第二表面112s、第三表面113s與第四表面114s可以是實質上共平面,其中第一表面111s、第二表面112s、第三表面113s與第四表面114s可以允許因微小的誤差與容許的公差(tolerance)而造成些微地(slightly)不共平面。Therefore, when the
當摺疊或攤平摺疊式顯示裝置100時,第一主體111、第二主體112與第三主體113能彼此相對旋轉。具體而言,支撐組件110更包括第一樞轉構件130,其中第一樞轉構件130樞接於第一主體111與第二主體112,而第二樞轉構件140(繪示於圖2A)樞接於第二主體112與第三主體113。此外,為了保護與美觀,第一樞轉構件130與第二樞轉構件140每一者可包括至少一外殼(如4A圖所示)。When the
圖2A與圖2B是圖1B中的支撐組件110的局部立體示意圖,其中圖2A與圖2B是在省略上述外殼之條件下描繪支撐組件110的內部,其中圖2B更省略第一樞轉構件130的限位部139與第二樞轉構件140的阻擋件149,以清楚呈現第一樞轉構件130與第二樞轉構件140的細部結構。請參閱圖1B、圖2A與圖2B,在支撐組件110相對兩側,第一樞轉構件130更包括多個樞轉部131與兩個限位部139。在本實施方式中,在支撐組件110的一側配置兩個樞轉部131與限位部139。各個限位部139具有溝槽139t,其中兩個樞轉部131彼此連接,並設置於一個溝槽139t內。此外,在一些實施例中,樞轉部131可為凸輪軸(cam shaft)。2A and FIG. 2B are partial perspective views of the
如圖1B與圖2A所示,第一主體111與第二主體112皆設置於兩個限位部139之間。由於圖2A與圖2B皆描繪位於一個第一樞轉構件130與一個第二樞轉構件140處的支撐組件110部分內部,因此圖2A與圖2B顯示單一個限位部139與兩個樞轉部131,而其他限位部139與樞轉部131未繪示於圖2A與圖2B中。As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 2A , the first
第一樞轉構件130更包括多根轉軸132。這些轉軸132分別穿透這些樞轉部131,且各自具有一根第一軸心A13。兩個樞轉部131能沿著兩根轉軸132而彼此相對旋轉,如圖2B所示。此外,這些轉軸132也分別穿透這些限位部139。具體而言,每一個限位部139具有多個孔洞139h,而在同一個限位部139中,這些孔洞139h與溝槽139t連通。兩根轉軸132分別貫穿兩個孔洞139h與兩個樞轉部131,所以這些彼此連接的樞轉部131能相對於限位部139旋轉。The
因此,每一個樞轉部131能沿著第一軸心A13而旋轉,而相鄰的兩個樞轉部131沿著不同方向旋轉。以圖2B為例,右邊的樞轉部131能逆時針旋轉,而左邊的樞轉部131能順時針旋轉。此外,每一個樞轉部131可具有齒輪端(geared end)131e,所以相鄰的兩個樞轉部131能透過這些齒輪端131e而彼此嚙合並能同時轉動。Therefore, each pivoting
另外,限位部139能限制各個樞轉部131的旋轉。具體而言,當摺疊式顯示裝置100處於第二狀態時,限位部139的底部139b能阻擋相鄰兩個樞轉部131分別在不同方向上的旋轉。以圖2A與圖2B為例,限位部139的底部139b能阻擋右邊的樞轉部131向順時針方向旋轉,以及阻擋左邊的樞轉部131向逆時針旋轉,以使限位部139能防止柔性顯示面板190因過度伸展(overstretching)而損壞。In addition, the limiting
當摺疊或攤平支撐組件110時,樞轉部131能沿著第一軸心A13旋轉。由於位在同一個限位部139內的這些樞轉部131分別連接第一主體111與第二主體112,因此第一主體111與第二主體112應能分別沿著第一軸心A13而旋轉。When the supporting
請參閱圖1B、圖2A與圖2B,在支撐組件110相對兩側,第二樞轉構件140更包括一對樞轉部141。當摺疊式顯示裝置100處於第二狀態時,第四主體114位於第二主體112與第三主體113之間,且第四主體114也位於這對樞轉部141之間。第四主體114使用兩根轉軸142而連接於樞轉部141的第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b,其中第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b可以是凸軸。轉軸142設置於第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b的孔洞中,或是於部分第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b中。轉軸142設置於第四主體114中,以在摺疊期間,控制第四主體114的旋轉。Please refer to FIG. 1B , FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B , on opposite sides of the
需注意的是,由於圖2A與圖2B描繪位於一個第一樞轉構件130與一個第二樞轉構件140處的支撐組件110部分內部,因此圖2A與圖2B顯示單一個樞轉部141。其他樞轉部141未繪示於圖2A與圖2B中。此外,圖2B描繪出具有第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b的樞轉部141。It should be noted that, since FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B depict a portion of the
這對樞轉部141每一個包括第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b,而第二樞轉構件140可以更包括多個轉軸142。這些轉軸142分別穿透第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b,並且各自具有第二軸心A14。在本實施方式中,第二主體112與第三主體113為雙軸樞轉設計。Each of the pair of pivoting
在一些實施方式中,第一樞接件141a與第三主體113可為一體成型,而第二樞接件141b與第二主體112可為一體成型。因此,當摺疊或攤平摺疊式顯示裝置100(或支撐組件110)時,第三主體113能沿著第二軸心A14而相對於第二主體112與第四主體114旋轉,其中第二軸心A14經由第二樞轉構件140而穿過第一樞接件141a。同樣地,第二主體112與第三主體113僅沿著第二軸心A14而旋轉。In some embodiments, the
請參閱圖2B與圖2C,圖2C是省略圖2B的樞轉部131、141。第一主體111與第二主體112還可各具有橢圓孔115,使得兩樞轉部131可分別插設於此兩橢圓孔115。Please refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C . FIG. 2C omits the pivoting
在一些實施例中,各個第一樞接件141a具有凸塊P14,而各個第二樞接件141b具有凹槽R14。當摺疊式顯示裝置100(或支撐組件110)處於第二狀態,凸塊P14會***凹槽R14內。相反地,當摺疊式顯示裝置100(或支撐組件110)處於第一狀態時,凸塊P14會離開凹槽R14。此外,第一軸心A13與第二軸心A14皆能沿著一方向而延伸。換句話說,第一軸心A13在可允許的公差範圍內,可實質上平行於第二軸心A14。In some embodiments, each
當在第二狀態下,凸塊P14***凹槽R14內時,第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b每一者的轉動會受到限制。具體而言,從圖2B可以明顯得知在第二狀態下,在凹槽R14內的凸塊P14會抵靠(abut)於第二樞接件141b,也就是說,第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b會彼此抵靠,以使在圖2B中,第一樞接件141a不能沿著順時針旋轉,而第二樞接件141b不能沿著逆時針旋轉,從而限制各個第一樞接件141a與第二樞接件141b的旋轉。When the protrusion P14 is inserted into the groove R14 in the second state, the rotation of each of the first
圖3A是摺疊圖1A中的摺疊式顯示裝置100的立體示意圖,其中圖3A省略一些元件,例如限位部139與阻擋件149。請參閱圖3A,當摺疊攤平的摺疊式顯示裝置100時,第二主體112能透過第一樞轉構件130而沿著轉軸132旋轉。此外,如圖3A所示,當凸塊P14***於凹槽R14內時,第一樞接件141a的側邊能切齊於第二樞接件141b的側邊。FIG. 3A is a schematic perspective view of folding the
圖3B是圖2B中處於第一狀態下的被摺疊的支撐組件110的側視示意圖,其中圖3B主要描繪第一狀態下的支撐組件110的內部。請參閱圖3B,從圖3B可以明顯得知,在第一狀態下,凸塊P14離開凹槽R14。此外,圖3B中被摺疊的支撐組件110具有P形側邊,其中第一主體111與第三主體113彼此相對設置。FIG. 3B is a schematic side view of the folded
圖3C是處於第一狀態下的摺疊式顯示裝置100的剖面示意圖,其中柔性顯示面板190可透過膠材而貼合於第一表面111s上、第二表面112s上與第三表面113s上。請參閱圖3C,當被摺疊的摺疊式顯示裝置100(或被摺疊的支撐組件110)處於第一狀態時,第一表面111s、第二表面112s、第三表面113s與第四表面114s不共平面,且柔性顯示面板190被摺疊。因此,藉由第二樞轉構件140,摺疊式顯示裝置100及其支撐組件110兩者能在第二狀態(如圖1A與圖1B所示)與第一狀態之間切換。3C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the
在第一狀態下,第一間隙G1形成於第一表面111s與第二表面112s之間,而第二間隙G2形成於第一表面111s與第三表面113s之間。如圖3C所示,第一間隙G1的寬度明顯大於第二間隙G2的寬度。第一間隙G1的寬度從第一樞轉構件130至第二樞轉構件140而漸縮。由於第一主體111與第三主體113彼此相對設置,因此第一主體111與第三主體113基本上能彼此堆疊,而處於第一狀態下的摺疊式顯示裝置100或支撐組件110具有第一厚度TH1與第二厚度TH2,其中第一厚度TH1明顯薄於第二厚度TH2。In the first state, the first gap G1 is formed between the
如圖3C所示,第一厚度TH1從第一主體111延伸至第三主體113,而第二厚度TH2從第一主體111延伸至第二主體112,其中第二厚度TH2也可從鄰接第一樞轉構件130的第二主體112邊緣至第三主體113而遞減。由此可知,被摺疊的摺疊式顯示裝置100(或被摺疊的支撐組件110)的側邊能形成“P”字形,如圖3C所示。As shown in FIG. 3C, the first thickness TH1 extends from the
在第一狀態下,摺疊式顯示裝置100與支撐組件110每一者具有銳夾角A12,其形成於第一表面111s與第二表面112s之間,其中銳夾角A12相對於第一樞轉構件130。因此,第一樞轉構件130的寬度W4能相對於第二主體112與第一主體111而傾斜。換句話說,寬度W4不垂直於第一表面111s與第二表面112s,所以傾斜的寬度W4能有助於減少摺疊式顯示裝置100整體厚度,從而滿足行動裝置方便攜帶的設計。In the first state, each of the
在較佳實施例中,處於第一狀態的柔性顯示面板190能具有介於1公厘至4公厘之間(例如1.76公厘)的間隙寬度W3,其中間隙寬度W3位於第一表面111s與第三表面113s之間。由於第一間隙G1的寬度W1大於第二間隙G2的寬度W2,因此第一狀態下被摺疊的柔性顯示面板190可以更具有被第一樞轉構件130、第一主體111與第二主體112圍繞的彎曲摺疊部191。In a preferred embodiment, the
柔性顯示面板190的彎曲摺疊部191具有曲率半徑R19,其中曲率半徑R19大於間隙寬度W3,且曲率半徑R19介於1公厘至7.5公厘之間,例如約4公厘(如4.33公厘)。因此,支撐組件110無法將柔性顯示面板190摺平,以避免破壞柔性顯示面板190。The curved and folded

在圖4C所示的較佳實施例中,阻擋件160可包括多個復位元件162,其中每個復位元件162連接滑動部161,而這些復位元件162彼此並列設置。不過,在其他較佳實施例中,阻擋件160內的復位元件162之數量可以僅為一個,以使阻擋件160所包括的復位元件162之數量不限制為兩個或兩個以上。In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 4C , the blocking
這些復位元件162可為彈簧,例如線圈彈簧(coil spring)或扭力彈簧(torsion spring)。在較佳實施例中,每個復位元件162是線圈彈簧,所以復位元件162能延展與收縮。如此,這些復位元件162能使滑動部161移動至第四主體114,因此當攤平的摺疊式顯示裝置100處於第二狀態時,滑動部161從第三主體113延伸至第四主體114。The restoring
當滑動部161延伸至第四主體114時,滑動部161可接觸第四主體114,以使滑動部161能阻擋第四主體114與第三主體113之間的相對旋轉。因此,滑動部161能禁止第二主體112與第三主體113之間的相對旋轉,以移除第二主體112與第三主體113的背隙(backlash),並防止摺疊式顯示裝置100突然間的摺疊,從而在觀看或閱覽摺疊式顯示裝置100時,有助於使用摺疊式顯示裝置100更加順手。When the sliding
以圖4C為例,滑動部161可包括主體部161m、多個長棍件161b與兩個延伸段161s。主體部161m可移動地設置於第三主體113,並連接於這些延伸段161s之間。主體部161m可具有楔型端161e。當滑動部161延伸至第四主體114時,楔型端161e能接觸第四主體114。主體部161m可以更具有兩個凹槽161r,而長棍件161b連接主體部161m,並位於凹槽161r內。每根長棍件161b***於一個復位元件162中,其中所有長棍件161b朝同一方向延伸,並且並排設置。Taking FIG. 4C as an example, the sliding
此外,第三主體113具有阻擋凸塊113b,其中阻擋凸塊113b能限制並禁止滑動部161的移動。阻擋凸塊113b具有多個溝部(grooves,未標示)。長棍件161b能分別穿過這些溝部,並且相對於阻擋凸塊113b移動。這些復位元件162被局限於這些凹槽161r內。這些延伸段161s每個具有開口,而第三主體113更具有兩個限位凸件B13,其例如可以是螺絲。限位凸件B13分別位於這些開口內,以使限位凸件B13能限制滑動部161的移動。In addition, the

在較佳實施例中,阻擋件560可包括多個復位元件162,其中每個並排的復位元件162連接滑動部561。不過,在其他較佳實施例中,阻擋件560可包括單一個連接滑動部561的復位元件162。因此,阻擋件560所包括的復位元件162之數量可以僅為一個,且不限制是兩個或兩個以上。In a preferred embodiment, the blocking
這些復位元件162也能使滑動部561移動至支撐板543,因此當攤平的摺疊式顯示裝置500處於第二狀態時,滑動部561能從第三主體513延伸至支撐板543。當滑動部561延伸至支撐板543時,滑動部561也能阻擋支撐板543與第三主體513之間的相對旋轉。因此,滑動部561能禁止第二主體512與第三主體513之間的相對旋轉,以防止摺疊式顯示裝置500突然間的摺疊,從而在觀看或閱覽摺疊式顯示裝置500時,有助於使用摺疊式顯示裝置500更加順手。The resetting
圖6C與圖6D是圖6B中的支撐組件510的局部立體示意圖,其中圖6D省略部分阻擋件560。請參閱圖6C與圖6D,阻擋件560不同於上述阻擋件160。具體而言,滑動部561可包括滑動條561m、切換部561t、多根長棍件561b以及兩個延伸段561s。FIG. 6C and FIG. 6D are partial perspective views of the
滑動條561m可移動地設置於第三主體513。切換部561t連接這些延伸段561s、滑動條561m與這些長棍件561b。當切換部561t移動時,所有滑動條561m、延伸段561s與長棍件561b能隨著切換部561t移動。因此,使用者能透過移動切換部561t來移動滑動條561m,以控制滑動條561m的移動與位置。The sliding
