Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a foldable display device. A foldable display device includes a display panel on a first cover and a second cover and at least one hinge that connects the first cover and the second cover and the hinge includes a fixing frame, a pair of hinge shafts that passes through the fixing frame, a pair of rotating plates that is fixed to one end of the pair of hinge shafts and fixed to the first cover and the second cover to rotate together with the first cover and the second cover, and a pair of first holding members that is coupled to the pair of hinge shafts between the fixing frame and the pair of rotating plates and controls a folding angle of the first cover and the second cover by a magnetic force, thereby permanently implementing a holding force.
Claims18
A foldable display device, comprising:
- a display panel disposed on a first cover and a second cover;
- and
- at least one hinge which connects the first cover and the second cover,
- wherein the hinge includes:
- a fixing frame;
- a pair of hinge shafts which passes through the fixing frame;
- a pair of rotating plates which is fixed to one end of the pair of hinge shafts and fixed to the first cover and the second cover to rotate together with the first cover and the second cover;
- and
- a pair of first holding members which are coupled to the pair of hinge shafts between the fixing frame and the pair of rotating plates and controls a folding angle of the first cover and the second cover by a magnetic force.
A foldable display device, comprising:
- a first cover and a second cover coupled to the first cover;
- a display panel disposed on the first cover and the second cover;
- a first slide plate which is fixed to one side of the display panel and is disposed in the first cover to slide along a first direction perpendicular to a boundary line of the first cover and the second cover by the folding of the display panel;
- and
- a first holding unit which is disposed between the first cover and the first slide plate to control a folding angle of the first cover and the second cover by a magnetic force.
A frame device, comprising:
- a first supporting unit and a second supporting unit;
- a hinge which connects the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit;
- and
- a holding unit which includes a plurality of magnetic substances disposed in at least any one of the first supporting unit, the second supporting unit, and the hinge to allow the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit to maintain a specific angle,
- wherein an attractive force and a repulsive force of the plurality of magnetic substances are repeated according to the specific angle formed by the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit.
