该柔性显示屏5可经过封装后以粘贴的形式固定于支撑结构1上。
本发明第一实施例提供的一种形态可变的支撑结构，如图3、图4所示，还包括置于支撑片310背对支撑面310A的下表面310B的第一磁铁311a及置于驱动部311的第二磁铁311b、第三磁铁311c、第四磁铁311d，相邻的链节单元31通过驱动部311的相互作用力改变柔性模组3的形态包括：当第二磁铁311b和相邻链节单元的第一磁铁311a产生吸合作用力，相邻的链节单元31的两个支撑面310A构成弯曲形态，如图4所示；当第三磁铁311c与相邻链节单元的第四磁铁311d产生吸合作用力，相邻的链节单元的两个支撑面310A构成展平形态，如图3所示。
请结合图2至图4，该实施例中，驱动部311包括带动部3113及连接带动部3113与支撑片310的接合部3114，其中，带动部3113包括：用于承载第二磁铁311b和第三磁铁311c的第一承载片3113A、用于承载第四磁铁311d的第二承载片3113B，及连接接合部3114、第一承载片3113A与第二承载片3113B的连接部3113C，其中，第一磁铁311a置于支撑片310的下表面310B，第四磁铁311d置于第二承载片3113B的上表面(即面向支撑片310的表面)，第 二磁铁311b位于第一承载片3113A的上表面(即面向支撑片310的表面)对应于相邻链节单元第一磁铁311a的可吸合位置，第三磁铁311c位于第一承载片3113A的下表面(即背离支撑片310的表面)对应于相邻链节单元第四磁铁311d的可吸合位置。
较优的，接合部3114沿支撑片310一侧的连接部3101b向下表面310B所在一侧延伸、并接合至连接部3113C。
支撑片310一对侧的连接部3101分别沿支撑面310A部分延伸且设有轴孔3102，其中，第二侧连接部3101b的部分延伸区域相对第一侧连接部3101a的部分延伸区域可嵌合设置，使得第二侧连接部3101b与相邻链节单元的第一侧连接部3101a可通过销轴3103贯穿部分延伸区域的轴孔3102而铰接相连，如图5所示。
固定模块2的一对侧分别包括可与链节单元31相铰接的第一侧连接部、或第二侧连接部，如图5所示，即固定模组通过设置可与链接单元31配合铰接的连接部即可，如，柔性模组3连接固定模块2的链节单元31为第一侧连接部3101a，则固定模块2与该链节单元连接的一侧设有第二侧连接部3101b进行铰接相连，进一步的还可以包括用于与该链节单元31可吸合的部分驱动部311，如图5示意，包括与该链节单元31铰接侧第一磁铁311a配合的第二磁铁311b部分、与该链节单元31第四磁铁311d配合的第三磁铁311c部分。
尾端模组4的内侧包括可与链节单元相铰接的第一侧连接部、或第二侧连接部，如图6所示，原理同上，此处不再赘述。
该较优实施例中，沿第二侧连接部3101b分别垂直延伸构成接合部3114，并垂直接合带动部3113的第二承载片3113B，该带动部3113为直角Z形态，即第一承载片3113A与第二承载片3113B分别垂直于接合部3113C、并分别向远离接合部3113C平面的两侧水平延伸。当通过外力致使第三磁铁311c与相邻链节单元的第四磁铁311d相吸合时，第一承载片3113A与相邻链节单元的第二承载片3113B平行吸合，致使两支撑面构成同一水平面的展平形态；当通 过外力致使第二磁铁311b与相邻链节单元的第一磁铁311a相吸合，相邻链节单元的支撑面随第一侧连接部铰接的销轴转动至第二磁铁311b与第一磁铁311a贴合，致使相邻两支撑面夹设一个角度进而导致链节单元31呈弯曲状态。因此，该支撑结构1可通过外力改变柔性模组3的不同形态，如图7a、7b、7c、7d所示，但本发明并不仅限于此，即可通过对链节单元31之间吸合状态的改变，塑造柔性模组3的任意形态。
可以理解的是，本发明所述的磁铁包括但不限于永磁体、电磁铁或永磁体与电磁铁的组合，本领域技术人员可以获知，当为永磁体时，可参照图3，第三磁铁311c(N极)与相邻链节单元的第四磁铁(S极)吸合时，第二磁铁311b(N极)与相邻链节单元的第一磁铁(S极)分离，两支撑面310A保持展平状态。而在外力作用下，第二磁铁311b(N极)与相邻链节单元的第一磁铁(S极)吸合时，第三磁铁311c(N极)与相邻链节单元的第四磁铁311d(S极)分离，两支撑面310A形成相对角度变为弯曲状态，同时，磁铁的吸力使得柔性模组状态保持不变。当为电磁铁时，所述外力即为连接电路给出的控制信号，控制第一磁铁311a与相邻链节单元31的第二磁铁311b或第三磁铁311c与相邻链节单元31的第四磁铁311d的吸合。可参照图4，当第二磁铁311b与相邻链节单元的第一磁铁上电路断开，第三磁铁311c与相邻链节单元的第四磁铁上电路导通，第三磁铁311c与相邻链节单元的第四磁铁吸合，两支撑面保持展平状态；当第二磁铁311b与相邻链节单元的第一磁铁上电路导通，第三磁铁311c与相邻链节单元的第四磁铁上电路断开，第二磁铁311b与相邻链链节单元的第一磁铁吸合，两支撑面形成相对角度变为弯曲状态。
如图8所示，该实施例中，固定模块2、尾端模组4可用于容置各种所需的零部件，包括电子元件，如可以包括用来给该电子设备供电的电池6，以及PCB(Printed Circuit Board，印制电路板)7，进一步的还可以用FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit board，柔性电路板)8通过柔性模组3电连接固定模块2、尾端模组4的元件及柔性显示屏5的电连接接口。
本发明提供的该形态可变的支撑结构1结合柔性显示屏构建的电子设备，可以为一种腕带的手机，但本发明电子设备并不限于此。
进一步，支撑结构1可以包括多个固定模块2，分别通过柔性模组3连接，如图9所示，即各固定模块2可根据需要进行元件的布置，相关元件间可用FPC进行连接，例如，固定模块2a可用来放置PCB板，固定模块2b可用来放置电池，固定模块2c可用来放置相机、传感器等，尾端模组4a可用来放置听筒，尾端模组4b可用来放置话筒。即本发明提供的电子设备可以根据布局需求而自由选择固定模块2与柔性模组3的数量、大小、组合方式、各元件的放置位置等，从而满足不同的客户需求。
本发明上述实施例提供的一种形态可变的支撑结构1，通过多个链节单元31铰接相连构成的柔性模组3接合于固定模块2与尾端模组4之间，并通过链节单元31设置的驱动部311改变柔性模组3的形态，从而构建了形态可变的支撑结构1。上述较优实施例中，柔性模组3由铰链连接，且销轴连接处于支撑结构的上方，即支撑面的连接，则当各链节单元31相互运动时，所有链节单元31的支撑面310A构建的表面积几乎不发生变化，则可以保证支撑结构1上的柔性显示屏5的长度在柔性模组3展开、弯曲状态下均不发生变化。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已，并不用以限制本发明，凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等，均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
