Abstract
A flexible display includes a bottom plate, a support plate, two hinge modules, a frame body, a bending module and a flexible panel. The support plate is provided with a first end and a second end. The first end is rotatably connected to the bottom plate. The hinge modules are disposed at the second end of the support plate. The frame body is provided with a fixed frame and a plurality of turning frames. The fixed frame is connected to the hinge modules. The plurality of turning frames are pivoted to two opposite sides of the fixed frame respectively. The bending module is connected with the fixed frame and the plurality of turning frames. The flexible panel is disposed on the frame body and covers the bending module. When the flexible display is switched to a touch mode, the bending module drives the plurality of turning frames to be flush with the fixed frame so that the flexible panel is in a flat plate shape. When the flexible display is switched to a view mode, the bending module drives the plurality of turning frames to be bent relative to the fixed frame so that the flexible panel is in a curved shape.
