Abstract

A supporting device of a flexible display panel, and display apparatus are provided. The supporting device includes a plate-like support component and a curvature adjusting component combined with the plate-like support component, wherein the plate-like support component includes two opposite outer peripheral portions, at least one portion of the curvature adjusting component is disposed between the two outer peripheral portions, and a structure of the curvature adjusting component is configured to enable the two outer peripheral portions of the plate-like support component to be bent toward the side of the plate surface provided with the plate-like support component, such that a curved support surface having a varying curvature can be obtained.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A supporting device for a flexible display panel, comprising: a plate-shaped supporting component and a curvature adjusting component coupled to the plate-shaped supporting component,
wherein, the plate-shaped supporting component includes two outer edge portions opposite to each other, at least a part of the curvature adjusting component is arranged between the two outer edge portions, and the curvature adjusting component is capable of bending the two outer edge portions of the plate-shaped supporting component towards a side of a plate surface of the plate-shaped supporting component, so as to obtain a bent supporting surface with different curvatures,
wherein, the plate-shaped supporting component includes a fourth plate-shaped component, the curvature adjusting component includes at least one first elastic component, the at least one first elastic component is detachably connected to a main surface side of the fourth plate-shaped component, and the at least one first elastic component is capable of applying force to the fourth plate-shaped component so as to bend two outer edge portions of the fourth plate-shaped component towards a side of a plate surface of the fourth plate-shaped component,
wherein, the fourth plate-shaped component includes a first main surface and a second main surface opposite each other, a first groove provided on the first main surface does not penetrate the second main surface of the fourth plate-shaped component, and the at least one first elastic component is detachably arranged on two opposite sides of the first groove in a straddling manner and/or is arranged in the first groove.

2. A supporting device for a flexible display panel, comprising: a plate-shaped supporting component and a curvature adjusting component coupled to the plate-shaped supporting component,
wherein, the plate-shaped supporting component includes two outer edge portions opposite to each other, at least a part of the curvature adjusting component is arranged between the two outer edge portions, and the curvature adjusting component is capable of bending the two outer edge portions of the plate-shaped supporting component towards a side of a plate surface of the plate-shaped supporting component, so as to obtain a bent supporting surface with different curvatures,
wherein, the plate-shaped supporting component includes a fourth plate-shaped component, the curvature adjusting component includes at least one first elastic component, the at least one first elastic component is detachably connected to a main surface side of the fourth plate-shaped component, and the at least one first elastic component is capable of applying force to the fourth plate-shaped component so as to bend two outer edge portions of the fourth plate-shaped component towards a side of a plate surface of the fourth plate-shaped component,
wherein, the plate-shaped supporting component further includes a fifth plate-shaped component detachably installed on the main surface side of the fourth plate-shaped component, and the fifth plate-shaped component includes a second groove arranged to be communicated and overlapped with the first groove.

3. The supporting device according to claim 2 , wherein, the curvature adjusting component includes at least one second elastic component, and the at least one second elastic component is detachably arranged on two opposite sides of the second groove in a straddling manner and/or is arranged in the second groove.

4. The supporting device according to claim 2 , wherein, the first groove is not parallel to an edge of the fourth plate-shaped component.

5. A display apparatus, comprising a flexible display panel and a supporting device supporting the flexible display panel, wherein, the supporting device is the supporting device according to claim 2 , and the flexible display panel is located on the side of the plate surface of the plate-shaped supporting component.
