Abstract
Disclosed is a folding mechanism for a flexible display screen, including: a deformable support member, two load portions, and retaining mechanisms. A flexible display screen is secured to the deformable support and at least a portion of each of the load portions, and the load portions are provided thereon with sliders. Each of the retaining mechanisms is provided with two slide rails with predetermined tracks, and the sliders are movable within corresponding slide rails. The folding mechanism can realize functions of bending, folding and flatting the flexible display screen. In addition, the retaining mechanism has functions of a guide rail and a retaining member so that the load portion is bent inwardly along the predetermined track to realize bending and folding without wrinkling.
