Abstract
A support assembly and a display device. The support assembly includes a body mechanism and a first support member. A first surface of the body mechanism is configured to support a part of the flexible screen. At least a part of the first support member is disposed side by side with the body mechanism, and configured to support another part of the flexible screen which extends out of the first surface. The first support member includes a first end and a second end disposed along a length direction of the first support member. The first end is fixed relative to the body mechanism, and the second end is configured to slide along a direction close to or away from the body mechanism.
Claims17
A support assembly configured to support a flexible screen, comprising:
- a body mechanism, wherein a first surface of the body mechanism is configured to support a part of the flexible screen, and the body mechanism defines an accommodate groove, an extending direction of the accommodate groove is parallel to the sliding direction, and at least a part of the second support member is located in the accommodate groove and slidably connected to the accommodate groove;
- a first support member, wherein at least a part of the first support member is arranged side by side with the body mechanism, and configured to support another part of the flexible screen which extends out of the first surface;
- the first support member comprises a first end and a second end disposed along a length direction of the first support member, the first end is fixed relative to the body mechanism, and the second end is configured to slide along a direction close to or away from the body mechanism and the first end is configured to remain fixed during the sliding operation;
- and in a sliding direction, the first support member comprises a plurality of flexible members disposed side by side, and two adjacent of the plurality of flexible members are connected to each other to form a netlike structure;
- and
- a second support member,
- wherein flexibility of the second support member is less than flexibility of the first support member, the second support member is stacked on a side of the first support member away from the flexible screen when the first support member supports the flexible screen, and the second support member and the first support member are configured to jointly support the flexible screen;
- and
- wherein the second support member is slidably connected to the body mechanism, and a sliding direction of the second end relative to the body mechanism is the same as a sliding direction of the second support member relative to the body mechanism;
- wherein in the sliding direction, a step part is disposed on an edge of the first surface of the body mechanism adjacent to the first support member;
- the body mechanism comprises a first plate body, the first plate body comprises the first surface and a second surface opposite to each other;
- in a first direction directed from the first surface to the second surface, the step part comprises a bottom, the bottom defines a hollow area, the accommodate groove extends to the hollow area, and a side of the second support member facing the first surface is flush with the bottom.
A display device, comprising:
- a flexible screen;
- and
- a support assembly configured to support the flexible screen, wherein the support assembly comprises:
- a body mechanism, wherein a first surface of the body mechanism is configured to support a part of the flexible screen;

- the first support member comprises a first end and a second end disposed along a length direction of the first support member, the first end is fixed relative to the body mechanism, and the second end is configured to slide along a direction close to or away from the body mechanism and the first end is configured to remain fixed during the sliding operation;
- and in a sliding direction, the first support member comprises a plurality of flexible members disposed side by side, and two adjacent of the plurality of flexible members are connected to each other to form a netlike structure;
- a second support member,
- wherein flexibility of the second support member is less than flexibility of the first support member, the second support member is stacked on a side of the first support member away from the flexible screen when the first support member supports the flexible screen, and the second support member and the first support member are configured to jointly support the flexible screen;
- wherein the second support member is slidably connected to the body mechanism, and a sliding direction of the second end relative to the body mechanism is the same as a sliding direction of the second support member relative to the body mechanism;
- translation mechanism,
- wherein the second end and the second support member simultaneously approach or move away from the body mechanism along the sliding direction;
- and
- wherein the translation mechanism is slidably connected to the body mechanism;
- and in the sliding direction, the second support member comprises a fixed end, and the second end and the fixed end are fixed relative to the translation mechanism;
- and
- a rolling shaft, configured to roll the first support member,
- wherein one of the first end and the second end is fixedly connected to the rolling shaft;
- and
- the first support member is configured to be attached to the flexible screen, and at least a part of the flexible screen and at least a part of the first support member are rolled on the rolling shaft;
- wherein the first end is fixedly disposed on the body mechanism, the second end is fixedly disposed on the rolling shaft, and the rolling shaft is configured to approach or move away from the body mechanism along the sliding direction;
- wherein the rolling shaft is fixedly disposed on the translation mechanism and located on a side of the fixed end away from the body mechanism;
- in the sliding direction, a step part is disposed on an edge of the first surface of the body mechanism adjacent to the first support member, and the first end of the first support member is located on the step part and fixedly connected to the step part;
- and
- the body mechanism comprises a first plate body, and the first plate body comprises the first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- in a first direction directed from the first surface to the second surface, a thickness of the first support member is the same as a height of the step part.
