Patent attributes
A foldable display device comprises a flexible display panel, a first bottom shell, a second bottom shell, a lifting mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The flexible display panel comprises a first display area, a second display area, and a foldable display area between the first display area and the second display area. The first bottom shell, the second bottom shell, and the transmission mechanism are respectively disposed below the first display area, the second display area, and the foldable display area. The transmission mechanism is rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism and is configured to make a support member of the lifting mechanism to provide support for the foldable display area when the foldable display device is in an unfolded state. This prevents the foldable display area from collapsing due to finger pressing, or wrinkling and peeling due to bending.
