## Abstract

A freely-foldable flexible LED screen includes multiple LED sub-screens, PCBs disposed inside casings of the LED sub-screens, LEDs disposed on the PCB, and conducting wires electrically connecting the PCBs. Adjacent LED sub-screens are connected using a connection mechanism capable of freely rotating, which includes a rotation rod, and rotation shafts disposed at two ends of the rotation rod; the casing of the LED sub-screen includes a front casing and a rear casing; where grooves are symmetrically disposed at edges of the front and rear casings, the rotation shafts at two ends of the rotation rod are respectively installed in grooves in the casings of two adjacent LED sub-screens, the grooves of the front and rear casings are further provided with close covers connecting the rotation shafts, where the close cover corresponding to the rotation shaft is provided with a rotation shaft groove that is rotatably connected to the rotation shaft.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A freely-foldable flexible LED screen, comprising a plurality of LED sub-screens, PCBs disposed inside casings of the LED sub-screens, LEDs disposed on the PCB, and conducting wires electrically connecting the PCBs; wherein adjacent LED sub-screens are connected by using a connection mechanism capable of relatively freely rotating.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The freely-foldable flexible LED screen according to claim 1, wherein: the connection mechanism comprises a rotation rod, and rotation shafts disposed at two ends of the rotation rod; the casing of the LED sub-screen comprises a front casing and a rear casing; wherein grooves are symmetrically disposed at edges of the front casing and the rear casing, the rotation shafts at the two ends of the rotation rod are respectively installed in grooves in the casings of two adjacent LED sub-screens, the grooves of the front casing and the rear casing are further provided with close covers connecting to the rotation shafts, wherein the close cover corresponding to the rotation shaft is provided with a rotation shaft groove that is rotatably connected to the rotation shaft, the rotation shaft being in shape of a cylindrical opening or an elliptical cylinder opening.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The freely-foldable flexible LED screen according to claim 2, wherein the rotation rod is formed by connecting at least two rod bodies using a hinge.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The freely-foldable flexible LED screen according to claim 1, wherein the connection mechanism comprises spindles disposed at the edges of the casings, and a connection rod rotatably connected to the spindles of the casings of two adjacent LED sub-screens, wherein openings connected to the spindles on the connection rod are circular openings or elliptical openings.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The freely-foldable flexible LED screen according to claim 4, wherein the connection rod is formed by connecting at least two rod bodies using a hinge.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)
