Patent 10091896 was granted and assigned to BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. on October, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The present disclosure relates to the field of display devices and discloses a foldable display device comprising: a main body structure and a flexible screen provided on a surface of the main body structure; the main body structure includes two flat plate areas and a bending area connecting the two flat plates and making the two flat plate areas have an opening and closing angle of 0 degrees to at least 180 degrees between; the bending area having a minimum bending radius at the time of bending so that the flexible screen attached to the surface of the bending area also has a minimum bending radius, which is greater than a critical bending radius of the flexible screen. The present disclosure allows the flexible screen to have a minimum bending radius when the screen is folded, preventing the flexible screen from being damaged by excessive bending.
