  • Publication number: 20180035554
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a flexible display device, wherein there is a flexible support structure fixed on a surface of the flexible display module, which is used to disperse stress. During use of the flexible display device, the flexible support structure can be used to disperse the point force or linear force that the flexible display device is subject to when being bent into even planar force. Besides, the flexible support structure can reduce the stress exerted on the flexible display module, avoiding delamination among the film layers caused by local stress concentration on the flexible display module. In addition, given the same thickness of the flexible display module, the flexible display device can be bent to a smaller bending radius.
