Abstract

A flexible display and display method thereof, the flexible display including: a housing, a motor module, a display module, and a chain structure formed of a plurality of magnets; wherein the motor module is configured to switch the display module between the winding state and the extended state in a gravity direction, and the chain structure is disposed on a side of a non-display surface of the display module; wherein, when the display module is in the winding state, the plurality of magnets are separated from each other to be wound with the display module; when the display module is in the extended state, the plurality of magnets are attracted to each other and extended with the display module. The flexible display of the present disclosure can achieve mutual switching in both the winding state and the extended state in the direction of gravity.
