Abstract
A flexible display includes a display panel, a gate driver, and a bending sensing unit. The display panel has a plurality of rows of pixels arranged in sequence. The gate driver has a plurality of stages of shift register circuitries electrically coupled to each other in sequence. The shift register circuitries are electrically coupled to the plurality of rows of pixels, and are configured to provide a plurality of refreshing pulses for driving the plurality of rows of pixels to refresh. Each stage of the shift register circuitries are further configured to provide a trigger pulse to drive another stage of the shift register circuitries. The bending sensing unit is electrically coupled to the gate driver. The bending sensing unit is configured to control, according to bending of the display panel, the impedance of a path used by at least one of the stages of the shift register circuitries to transmit the trigger pulse to the other stage of the shift register circuitries.
