  • Display device
    Patent number: 10474196
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display device including a housing assembly, a connective frame, a link, and a flexible screen. The housing assembly includes middle frames and housings pivotally connected with each other. The connective frame includes a pivotal connector pivotally connected with the housings. The link is pivotally connected with the middle frames and the pivotal connector. The flexible screen is set on surfaces of the middle frames. When the housings are folded and the middle frames approach the housings, the interval between the second ends of the two middle frames is greater than that of the first ends of the two middle frames. The present invention causes bending perimeter of the folding region of the flexible screen being increased to release the stress. Thus, it can avoid breakage or wrinkle after the display device is folded and improve reliability of the display device.
