The early cathode ray tube (CRT) display has gradually developed to the present, liquid crystal display (LCD). Since the liquid crystal panel of the liquid crystal display includes a glass substrate having a fragile multilayer structure, it is necessary to additionally use a metal frame to protect the glass substrate from external damage, thereby limiting the shape of the liquid crystal panel and increasing the difficulty of thinning the liquid crystal panel. In addition to the application of liquid crystal display technology to computer displays, the development of flexible displays is in full swing. Since the flexible display panel uses a flexible substrate, the panel of the flexible display can be folded into a container of the flexible display from time to time or can be taken up in a removable manner, and if used, The flexible panel is unfolded and placed on the table to display an optical image. Compared with the shape and size of the liquid crystal display, the f device has greater elasticity in shape and size. However, there are still many inconveniences. ~Commercial use [Invention] 5 doc/e 12833, 7^ for improvement The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flexible display, and the convenience of use.

Therefore, when the user manually deploys the windable panel 120 from the retractor 11 , the spring 116 will accumulate an elastic potential energy, so that the flexible panel 120 is not subjected to the user's force. The spring 116 releases the aforementioned elastic potential energy to drive the spool 114 to retract the pullable panel 120 back into the housing 112. In order to maintain the unfolded state of the flexible panel 120, the retractor 11 () may further include a brake component 118 disposed on the housing 112 for determining whether the flexible panel 120 is retracted onto the reel 4 or Pull out from the reel H4. Thus, when the flexible panel 120 has been deployed from the retractor u, the brake element 118 can secure the flexible panel 120 to maintain the deployed state. In a first consistent embodiment, the brake element 118 secures the position of the flexible display panel 12's relative to the spool 114 by frictional forces applied to the surface of the flexible display panel 120. In another embodiment, not shown, the brake member 118 can also secure the position of the flexible display panel 120 relative to the spool 114 by the friction applied to the spool 114 or spring n6. In other embodiments not shown, the storage member II8 can also utilize the position of the buckled square wire to deflect the display panel 120 relative to the spool 114. Since the retractor 110 of the first embodiment can only retract the flexible display panel 120 in the unfolded state into the housing 112, the manual panel 12 is still deployed from the retractor 110. The method of the first embodiment of the retractor 11 is half of the automatic retractor, which can flexibly display the manual mode of the benefit panel 120, but the flexible display of the crying panel 120 is adopted.

Received. In order to stably place the retractor m and the unfolding flexible panel (10) on the platform, the retractor m further has an upright bracket ι 9 (dashed portion in FIG. 3) which is fixed to the housing 112. . In another embodiment, the upright bracket 119 can be folded or otherwise folded onto the housing ι 2 to reduce the space occupied by the upright bracket 119. To support the flexible panel 120 in deployment to assist the flexible panel 120 against gravity from excessive deflection, these support members have the property of memory shape. In the first embodiment, the support members are support strips that are respectively located on opposite sides of the back side of the flexible panel 120. Therefore, when the flexible panel 120 is retracted within the retractor 11〇, the support member 130 and the flexible panel 120 are retracted within the retractor 11 (instead, when When the flexible panel 120 is opened from within the retractor u, the appropriate support members 130 will return to their original shape without being subjected to an external force, that is, a long strip shape, and thus the sheets of the support members themselves 9 twf.doc/e force St; two support for the user to see.
