Smart overview of the Invention

A display device is designed to provide users with the ability to easily switch between flat and curved screen configurations. It features a panel frame and a bending member that can deform the shape of the panel frame. This innovative design allows for a seamless transition between screen types, enhancing user experience and satisfaction.

Key Components

The bending member consists of a shaft assembly and a driving unit, both arranged on the panel frame. The shaft assembly includes a flexible shaft that deforms in shape, supported by a support member connected to the rear surface of the panel frame. A guide member helps to direct the deformation of the flexible shaft, ensuring accurate curvature adjustments.

Guide Member Structure

  • The guide member is made up of several guide blocks arranged parallel on the rear surface.
  • Each block has a shaft hole for the flexible shaft to pass through.
  • These blocks are designed to limit curvature and maintain flatness based on the flexible shaft's position.

Driving Mechanism

The driving unit incorporates a gear system connected to the shaft assembly. A lever is used to control this gear unit, allowing for easy adjustments between flat and curved states. The mechanical design ensures that users can achieve their desired screen shape with minimal effort.

Additional Features

The display device also includes various elements such as dampers for shock absorption, end blocks for supporting the flexible shaft, and a guide rail for directing movement. These components work together to enhance functionality and provide stability, making it an advanced solution in modern display technology.
