Fig. 9 is a flowchart of a control method for a foldable display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control method of the folding display device can be applied to each folding display device provided by the above embodiments, and the folding display device can comprise a folding bracket, wherein the folding bracket comprises at least two sub-brackets which are rotatably connected; the stretching assembly comprises a stretching component which is respectively positioned on each sub-bracket; and the flexible display is arranged in the folding bracket and is connected with the stretching component on each sub-bracket. The method may include the following steps:
step 901, detecting whether the flexible display generates a crease.
Whether the flexible display is creased or not may be determined by the length detecting component and the crease determining component.
The length detection assembly can be used for determining whether the length of the flexible display on any two adjacent sub-supports in the at least two rotatably connected sub-supports in the designated direction is smaller than the standard length when any two adjacent sub-supports are positioned on the same plane. The standard length is the length of the flexible display on any two adjacent sub-mounts in a given direction when the flexible displays are in the same plane.
Since the flexible displays on any two adjacent sub-supports are difficult to be located in the same plane due to the possible existence of creases when the flexible displays are folded, the flexible displays on any two adjacent sub-supports being located in the same plane may refer to the length of the flexible display in a specified direction when the flexible display has never been folded. The designated direction is a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotational connection and parallel to the arbitrary two adjacent sub-mounts located on the same plane.
The folding determining component is used for determining that the flexible display on any two adjacent sub-supports has a folding when the length of the flexible display on the any two adjacent sub-supports in the designated direction is smaller than the standard length.
As shown in fig. 3, the crease determining component 24 includes a distance sensor 241, the distance sensor 241 is disposed at an end of any one of the 2 sub-supports 211 far from the other sub-support, and is used for determining whether the length of the flexible display 23 on any two adjacent sub-supports in a given direction is smaller than a standard length according to the shortest distance s between any two adjacent sub-supports 211 and the flexible display 23 when the two adjacent sub-supports are located on the same plane.
Wherein when there is a crease in the flexible display 23, the shortest distance s is increased due to the pulling of the crease, the distance sensor 241 can compare the instantly measured s with the shortest distance of the flexible display 23 when the flexible display 23 has not been folded yet, and if the instantly measured s is larger, it can be determined that the length of the flexible display 23 on any two adjacent sub-supports in the designated direction is smaller than the standard length.
When the flexible display has a crease, the flexible display is stretched by stretching members on the sub-supports on both sides of the crease, step 902.
As shown in fig. 3, the two stretching members 211 stretch the flexible display 23 to flatten the crease h on the flexible display 23, so as to improve the flatness of the flexible display 23, and further improve the display effect of the flexible display 23.
When the flexible display is not creased, the step 901 may be executed again.
And 903, determining whether any two adjacent sub-supports in the at least two rotatably connected sub-supports are coplanar through the folding sensor.
When any two adjacent sub-mounts are not coplanar, it indicates that the folded display device is being folded.
And 904, controlling the stretching parts on any two adjacent sub-brackets to stop stretching when the any two adjacent sub-brackets are not coplanar.
When any two adjacent sub-supports are not coplanar, if the stretching component continues to stretch the flexible display, damage may be caused to the flexible display, and therefore, the stretching component may be controlled to stop stretching the flexible display at this time so as to protect the flexible display.
In summary, in the control method of the folding display device according to the embodiment of the invention, when the flexible display generates the fold, the stretching member on the sub-frame located at both sides of the fold stretches the flexible display, so that the fold is flattened. The problem of flexible display among the relevant art after being folded, probably produce the crease when recovering to the flat state, reduced folding display device's display effect is solved. The display effect of the folding display device is improved.

7. A control method for a foldable display device according to any one of claims 1 to 6, the foldable display device comprising: the folding bracket comprises at least two rotatably connected sub-brackets; a tension assembly including a tension member on each of the sub-mounts; a flexible display disposed in the folding bracket and connected to the tension member on each of the sub-brackets, a length detection assembly and a crease determination assembly, and the length detection assembly includes a distance sensor,
the method comprises the following steps:
detecting whether a crease is generated on the flexible display;
when the flexible display generates a crease, stretching the flexible display through stretching parts on the sub-supports positioned at two sides of the crease;
the detecting whether the flexible display generates a crease includes:
determining whether the length of the flexible displays on any two adjacent sub-supports in a specified direction is smaller than a standard length when any two adjacent sub-supports are positioned on the same plane, wherein the standard length is the length of the flexible displays on any two adjacent sub-supports in the specified direction when the flexible displays on the any two adjacent sub-supports are positioned on the same plane;
when the length is smaller than the standard length, determining that the flexible displays on any two adjacent sub-supports have creases, wherein the specified direction is perpendicular to the rotating shaft connected in a rotating mode and parallel to the direction of any two adjacent sub-supports on the same plane.
