Abstract

A display apparatus and a display device including the display apparatus are disclosed. The display apparatus includes a display panel, an elastic supporting backplate and at least one actuating structure; the display panel is attached to the supporting backplate; the actuating structure is arranged on one side of the supporting backplate away from the display panel and are in contact with the supporting backplate; and the supporting backplate is capable of being driven by the actuating structure, so that bending degrees of the supporting backplate and the display panel can be changed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display apparatus, comprising a display panel, an elastic supporting backplate and at least one actuating structure, wherein
the display panel is attached to the supporting backplate;
the actuating structure is arranged on one side of the supporting backplate away from the display panel and are in contact with the supporting backplate; and
the supporting backplate is capable of being driven by the actuating structure, so that bending degrees of the supporting backplate and the display panel can be changed,
wherein the actuating structure is a strip shape airbag, and an inflation-deflation control unit is arranged on the strip shape airbag.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating structure is an elastic structure, a shape of which is variable, and with elastic change of the shape of the actuating structure, the bending degrees of the supporting backplate and the display panel can be driven to change.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the strip shape airbag is arranged on an outer surface of the supporting backplate.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a pressure bearing groove is formed inside the supporting backplate, and the strip shape airbag is arranged in the pressure bearing groove.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of actuating structures.

6. A display device, comprising the display apparatus according to claim 1 .

7. A display apparatus, comprising a display panel, an elastic supporting backplate and at least one actuating structure, wherein
the display panel is attached to the supporting backplate;
the actuating structure is arranged on one side of the supporting backplate away from the display panel and are in contact with the supporting backplate; and
the supporting backplate is capable of being driven by the actuating structure, so that bending degrees of the supporting backplate and the display panel can be changed, wherein the actuating structure is a curved strip structure, the actuating structure is movably connected with the supporting backplate, the actuating structure is rotatable with respect to the supporting backplate, and when rotating, the actuating structure has different positions respectively in squeezed contact with the supporting backplate.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising a driving structure, wherein the driving structure is respectively connected with a center of the actuating structure and the supporting backplate, and the driving structure is capable of driving the actuating structure to rotate with respect to the supporting backplate.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the actuating structure is an arc curved bar, and the curved bar is rotatable along an axial direction.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein a rotation radius on both ends of the curved bar is greater than a distance from a center of the curved bar to the supporting backplate.

11. A display device, comprising the display apparatus according to claim 7 .

12. A display apparatus, comprising a display panel, an elastic supporting backplate and at least one actuating structure, wherein
the display panel is attached to the supporting backplate;
the actuating structure is arranged on one side of the supporting backplate away from the display panel and are in contact with the supporting backplate; and
the supporting backplate is capable of being driven by the actuating structure, so that bending degrees of the supporting backplate and the display panel can be changed, the display apparatus further comprising a buffer member, wherein the buffer member is arranged between the actuating structure and the supporting backplate.

13. A display device, comprising the display apparatus according to claim 12 .
