Abstract
This application relates to a supporting structure applied to a flexible display panel and a display device. The supporting structure includes: a bendable region having a plurality of first hollowed-out holes, a bendable axis corresponding to the bendable region extending in a first direction; and at least two fixed regions at opposite sides of the bendable region in a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The fixed region has a rigid holding portion and a buffer portion having a plurality of second hollowed-out holes. The buffer portion is connected to the bendable region, and rigidity of the buffer portion is greater than or equal to rigidity of the bendable region. At least part of the rigid holding portion is provided at a side of the buffer portion away from the bendable region, and rigidity of the rigid holding portion is greater than rigidity of the buffer portion.
