Abstract
A foldable display device is provided. The foldable display device includes: a supporting plate and a flexible display screen arranged on the supporting plate. The supporting plate includes at least two supporting sub-plates and at least one restraining structure, in which the restraining structure is configured to connect target side surfaces of adjacent supporting sub-plates, and the target side surfaces are lateral surfaces at edges of the flexible display screen. The restraining structure includes at least two sub restraining structures and a first flexible strap configured to connect adjacent inward-bend restraining structures. When the flexible display screen is bent away from the supporting plate, the at least two sub restraining structures are capable of restraining relative positions of the adjacent supporting sub-plates. The damages to the flexible display screen may be reduced by restraining the positions through the at least two sub restraining structures.
