Claim 8:
9. A display device, comprising:
a frame;
a shaft mechanism coupled to the frame, and configured to guide the frame to fold with a rotation of the shaft mechanism;
a shaft support structure, disposed on the frame and the shaft mechanism; and
a flexible display panel disposed on the shaft support structure and the frame;
wherein the shaft support structure comprises:
a rigid support part comprising a plurality of rigid support strips, wherein: the plurality of rigid support strips are arranged in parallel with each other; a first gap is provided between two adjacent rigid support strips of the plurality of rigid support strips; a length direction of at least one of the plurality of rigid support strips is perpendicular to a bending direction of the flexible display panel; and an orthographic projection of the rigid support part on the flexible display panel is located in the bending area;
two first support plates arranged parallel to each other with the plurality of rigid support strips, wherein: the two first support plates are located on opposite sides of the rigid support part; a second gap is provided between a first support plate and the rigid support part; and orthographic projections of the two first support plates on the flexible display panel are located in the flat area; and
a flexible cladding layer, wrapped around the rigid support part and the two first support plates, joining a side, close to the flexible display panel, of the rigid support part, and sides, close to the flexible display panel, of the two first support plates as a whole; wherein:
the plurality of rigid support strips comprises three rigid support strips;
a surface, close to the flexible display panel, of at least one of the three rigid support strips is part of a cylindrical surface;
the part of the cylindrical surface protrudes toward the flexible display Panel;
a central angle corresponding to the part of the cylindrical surface is less than or equal to 60 degrees; and
the flexible cladding layer comprises:
a second inclined surface, on a side surface of at least one of the plurality of rigid support strips, adjacent to the first support plate, with an inclination angle greater than or equal to 22.5 degrees;
a first inclined surface, on a side surface of any one of the plurality of rigid support strips excluding the second inclined surface, with an inclination angle greater than or equal to 22.5 degrees; and
a third inclined surface, on a side surface, close to the rigid support part, of one of the two first support plates, with an inclination angle greater than or equal to 22.5 degrees.
