Display device and method for controlling display device

A display device, comprising:

• a flexible display module;
• and
• a bracket,
• wherein:
• the flexible display module includes a supporting backplate;
• the supporting backplate is located on a backlight side of the flexible display module;
• the flexible display module also includes a plurality of sensor devices;
• the bracket is fixed to the supporting backplate through a universal structure;
• one end of the universal structure is fixed to the supporting backplate;
• another end of the universal structure is fixed to the bracket;
• the plurality of sensor devices are electrically connected to the universal structure through a first motor component;
• and/or the supporting backplate includes a hinge component and the plurality of sensor devices are electrically connected to the hinge component through a second motor component;
• along a first direction, the flexible display module includes a main display region and an edge region located on at least one side of the main display region;
• the edge region includes a bending region and a light-shielding region located on a side of the bending region away from the main display region;
• and
• the light-shielding region is located on a side of the light-exiting surface of the main display region.

A method for controlling a display device, comprising:

• providing the display device including:
• a flexible display module;
• and
• a bracket,
• wherein:
• the flexible display module includes a supporting backplate;
• the supporting backplate is located on a backlight side of the flexible display module;
• the flexible display module also includes a plurality of sensor devices;
• the bracket is fixed to the supporting backplate through a universal structure;
• one end of the universal structure is fixed to the supporting backplate;
• another end of the universal structure is fixed to the bracket;
• and
• the plurality of sensor devices are electrically connected to the universal structure through a first motor component configured to transfer a kinetic energy to the universal structure to change a direction of the universal structure;
• and/or, the supporting backplate includes a hinge component and the plurality of sensor devices are electrically connected to the hinge component through a second motor component;
• sensing a location of a user using the plurality of sensor devices;
• and
• controlling the universal structure to turn to drive a light-exiting surface of the flexible display module to face the user using the first motor component;
• and/or controlling the hinge component to bend using the second motor component to adjust a curvature of the flexible display module,
• wherein:
• the method controls a working mode of the display device to at least include a security mode and an operation mode;
• under the security mode, the flexible display module does not work;
• or, the first motor component controls the universal structure to turn such that the light-exiting surface of the flexible display module faces away from the user;
• and
• under the operation mode, the first motor component controls the universal structure to turn such that the light-exiting surface of the flexible display module faces the user.
