The rotary ring and the at least one movable ring is capable of rotating relative to the supporting member. A part of the positioning portion overlaps the movable ring. When the rotary ring rotates relative to the supporting member, the part of the positioning portion pushes the acting portion, to drive the at least one movable ring to rotate until the acting portion is stopped between the positioning portion and the stopping portion.

Rotary device

The telescopic adjuster includes a telescopic rod assembly, a driving unit, and a chain. The telescopic rod assembly includes a fixed tube and a driving tube, where the fixed tube is sleeved over the driving tube or the driving tube is sleeved over the fixed tube, the fixed tube is fixed to a housing, and the driving tube can extend or retract relative to the fixed tube. The driving unit includes a first motor and a first gear, where the first motor is configured to drive the first gear. The chain has one end wound around the first gear and the other end fixed to a top end of the driving tube. When the first motor drives the first gear to rotate, the first gear drives the chain to push or pull the driving tube so that the driving tube extends or retracts relative to the fixed tube.

Telescopic adjuster

A telescopic adjuster including first and second linear actuators, a connecting platform and first and second telescopic levers is provided. The first linear actuator includes a first screw and a pair of first fixing rings. The first fixing rings are arranged at two respective ends of the first screw. The second linear actuator includes a second screw and a second fixing ring. The second fixing ring is arranged at the end of the second screw, relatively away from the connecting platform. The first and second linear actuators are arranged on the connecting platform in parallel. The first screw pushes the connecting platform to move along the first screw, and the first fixing rings limit a movement of the connecting platform. The first and second telescopic levers are coaxially arranged.

A display device includes a flexible display panel and a housing. The housing includes connectors and couplers. Each of the connectors includes two accommodating slots. The connectors and the couplers are sequentially arranged in a staggered manner and connected with one another. Each of the couplers includes a coupling body and two cylinders. The two cylinders are connected to two sides of the coupling body. Each of the cylinders is disposed in the accommodating slot of the adjacent connector. A radial interval of an opening of the accommodating slot is greater than a thickness of the coupling body and is less than a diameter of the cylinder. While the housing is being bent along with the flexible display panel, the adjacent two connectors are being away from each other until the cylinder in the accommodating slot is blocked by the corresponding opening.
