The support member 130 is located in the accommodating space 116 of the third portion 115 of the housing 112. The two ends of the first elastic member 142 are respectively connected with the support member 130 and the third portion 115 of the housing 112, and the axial direction of the first elastic member 142 is perpendicular to the third portion 115 of the housing 112. With such a design, when the support member 130 is subjected to a downward force, the first elastic member 142 can be compressed, so that the support member 130 can move downward in the accommodating space 116; when the force is removed, the support member 130 is It is reset in the accommodating space 116 by the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 142.

第3圖繪示第1圖之可摺疊顯示裝置100沿線段3-3的剖面圖。同時參閱第1圖與第3圖,第一支撐平台122位於殼體112的第一部分113上,且第一支撐平台122至少部分凸出於殼體112的第一部分113,例如第3圖第一支撐平台122向右凸出殼體112的第一部分113。第二支撐平台124位於殼體112的第二部分114上,且第二支撐平台124至少部分凸出於殼體112的第二部分114,例如第3圖第二支撐平台124向左凸出殼體112的第二部分114。第二支撐平台124的凸出部分與第一支撐平台122的凸出部分之間具有間隙125。 3 is a cross-sectional view of the foldable display device 100 of FIG. 1 taken along line 3-3. Referring also to FIGS. 1 and 3, the first support platform 122 is located on the first portion 113 of the housing 112, and the first support platform 122 at least partially protrudes from the first portion 113 of the housing 112, such as FIG. The support platform 122 projects rightward from the first portion 113 of the housing 112. The second support platform 124 is located on the second portion 114 of the housing 112, and the second support platform 124 at least partially protrudes from the second portion 114 of the housing 112. For example, the second support platform 124 of FIG. 3 protrudes to the left. The second portion 114 of the body 112. There is a gap 125 between the convex portion of the second support platform 124 and the convex portion of the first support platform 122.

撓性顯示面板150位於第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124上,且撓性顯示面板150覆蓋間隙125。間隙125有助於其上方的撓性顯示面板150得以彎折。在本實施方式中,撓性顯示面板150可以為電泳顯示(EPD)面板或有機發光二極體(OLED)顯示面板,但並不用以限制本發明。 The flexible display panel 150 is located on the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124, and the flexible display panel 150 covers the gap 125. The gap 125 helps the flexible display panel 150 above it to be bent. In the present embodiment, the flexible display panel 150 may be an electrophoretic display (EPD) panel or an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel, but is not intended to limit the present invention.

由於第一彈性件142的兩端分別連接支撐件130與殼體112的第三部分115,且第一彈性件142的軸向垂直殼體112的第三部分115,因此支撐件130可受第一彈性件142的彈力而往第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124之間的間隙125移動,使得支撐件130可用來填補第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124之間的間隙125,以避免覆蓋此間隙125的撓性顯示面板150彎折區呈懸空狀態。如此一來,當使用者觀看或操作展開狀態的撓性顯示面板150時,撓性顯示面板150可被第一支撐平台122、第二支撐平台124與支撐件130共同撐平,提升視覺效果。 Since the two ends of the first elastic member 142 are respectively connected to the support member 130 and the third portion 115 of the housing 112, and the axial direction of the first elastic member 142 is perpendicular to the third portion 115 of the housing 112, the support member 130 can be subjected to the first The elastic force of the elastic member 142 moves to the gap 125 between the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124, so that the support member 130 can be used to fill the gap 125 between the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124. The flexible display panel 150 covering the gap 125 is prevented from being in a floating state. In this way, when the user views or operates the flexible display panel 150 in the unfolded state, the flexible display panel 150 can be flattened together by the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 and the support member 130 to enhance the visual effect.

The body portion 132 connects one end of the first elastic member 142. The projection 134 is located on a surface of the body portion 132 that faces away from the first elastic member 142. The position of the projection 134 corresponds to the position of the gap 125, that is, the projection 134 is aligned with the gap 125. When the foldable display device 100 is in the unfolded state, the body portion 132 of the support member 130 can abut against the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 due to the elastic force of the first elastic member 142, and the protrusion of the support member 130 134 can be coupled to gap 125 and against flexible display panel 150.

在本實施方式中,凸出部134的寬度W1可與間隙125的寬度大致相同,且本體部132的寬度W2可與容置空間116的寬度大致相同,以確保支撐件130能在容置空間116中往靠近或遠離間隙125的方向移動(即沿第一彈性件142的軸向移動)而不偏移。在本實施方式中,凸出部134的寬度W1小於本體部132的寬度W2,間隙125的寬度小於容置空間116的寬度。 In this embodiment, the width W1 of the protrusion 134 may be substantially the same as the width of the gap 125, and the width W2 of the body portion 132 may be substantially the same as the width of the accommodation space 116 to ensure that the support member 130 can accommodate the space. The movement in 116 is moved toward or away from the gap 125 (i.e., along the axial direction of the first elastic member 142) without being offset. In the present embodiment, the width W1 of the protruding portion 134 is smaller than the width W2 of the body portion 132, and the width of the gap 125 is smaller than the width of the accommodating space 116.

可摺疊顯示裝置100還可包含第二彈性件144、146。第二彈性件144的兩端分別連接殼體112的第一部分113與第一支撐平台122遠離支撐件130的邊緣。第二彈性件146的兩端分別連接殼體112的第二部分114與第二支撐平台124遠離支撐件130的邊緣。第二彈性件144、146可分別讓第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124在殼體112的第一部分113與第二部分114上移動,透過第二彈性件144、146的彈力,能確保第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124可抵靠支撐件130。在本實施方式中,第一彈性件142與第二彈性件144、146均可為 彈簧,但並不用以限制本發明,其他可伸縮的彈性材料也可作為第一彈性件142與第二彈性件144、146,例如橡膠、矽膠或軟質塑膠。 The foldable display device 100 can also include second elastic members 144, 146. The two ends of the second elastic member 144 are respectively connected to the first portion 113 of the housing 112 and the first support platform 122 away from the edge of the support member 130. The two ends of the second elastic member 146 are respectively connected to the second portion 114 of the housing 112 and the second support platform 124 away from the edge of the support member 130. The second elastic members 144, 146 can respectively move the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 on the first portion 113 and the second portion 114 of the housing 112, and the elastic force of the second elastic members 144, 146 can ensure The first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 can abut the support 130.

第4圖繪示第3圖之可摺疊顯示裝置100呈摺疊狀態時的剖面圖。同時參閱第3圖與第4圖,當可摺疊顯示裝置100從展開狀態轉換為摺疊狀態時,殼體112的第一部分113與第二部分114可分別透過鉸鏈117、118(見第1圖)於第三部分115樞轉,進而帶動第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124的凸出部分施壓於支撐件130,使第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124可分別隨殼體112的第一部分113與第二部分114移動。在此過程中,支撐件130可壓縮第一彈性件142,且撓性顯示面板150也會隨第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124的移動而彎折。當殼體112的第一部分113與第二部分114相疊時,便可得到第4圖可摺疊顯示裝置100的摺疊狀態。 Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the foldable display device 100 of Fig. 3 in a folded state. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, when the foldable display device 100 is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first portion 113 and the second portion 114 of the housing 112 can pass through the hinges 117, 118, respectively (see FIG. 1). The third portion 115 pivots to drive the protruding portions of the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 to the support member 130, so that the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 can respectively follow the housing 112. The first portion 113 and the second portion 114 move. During this process, the support member 130 can compress the first elastic member 142, and the flexible display panel 150 also bends with the movement of the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124. When the first portion 113 of the housing 112 overlaps the second portion 114, the folded state of the foldable display device 100 of Fig. 4 can be obtained.

第5圖繪示根據本發明一實施方式之可摺疊顯示裝置100a呈展開狀態的剖面圖。如圖所示,可摺疊顯示裝置 100a包含承載結構110與撓性顯示面板150。承載結構110包含殼體112、第一支撐平台122、第二支撐平台124、支撐件130與至少一第一彈性件142a。與第3圖實施方式不同的地方在於:第一彈性件142a為橡膠柱,而非彈簧。 Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the foldable display device 100a in an unfolded state according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the foldable display device 100a includes a carrier structure 110 and a flexible display panel 150. The load bearing structure 110 includes a housing 112, a first support platform 122, a second support platform 124, a support member 130, and at least a first elastic member 142a. The difference from the embodiment of Fig. 3 is that the first elastic member 142a is a rubber column instead of a spring.

這樣的設計,支撐件130可受第一彈性件142a的彈力而往第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124之間的間隙125移動,使得支撐件130可用來填補第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124之間的間隙125,以避免覆蓋此間隙125的撓性顯示面板150彎折區呈懸空狀態。如此一來,當使用者觀看或操作展開狀態的撓性顯示面板150時,撓性顯示面板150可被第一支撐平台122、第二支撐平台124與支撐件130共同撐平,提升視覺效果。此外,當可摺疊顯示裝置100a從展開狀態轉換到摺疊狀態時,第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124施壓於支撐件130而壓縮第一彈性件142a,使得撓性顯示面板150可隨第一支撐平台122與第二支撐平台124的移動而彎折。 In this design, the support member 130 can be moved by the elastic force of the first elastic member 142a to the gap 125 between the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124, so that the support member 130 can be used to fill the first support platform 122 and the first The gap 125 between the support platforms 124 prevents the flexible display panel 150 covering the gap 125 from being in a suspended state. In this way, when the user views or operates the flexible display panel 150 in the unfolded state, the flexible display panel 150 can be flattened together by the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 and the support member 130 to enhance the visual effect. In addition, when the foldable display device 100a is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 press the support member 130 to compress the first elastic member 142a, so that the flexible display panel 150 can follow The first support platform 122 and the second support platform 124 are bent to move.
