Abstract

A foldable assembly which is configured to bear a flexible display. The foldable assembly includes a rotating shaft; a first mechanical part and a second mechanical part, where the first mechanical part and the second mechanical part are rotatably connected by using the rotating shaft; and a first protective structure, where the first protective structure is connected to an end face that is of the rotating shaft and that extends out of a periphery of the flexible display. A first surface of the flexible display is away from the rotating shaft, and the first protective structure is higher than or flush with the first surface of the flexible display, so that when the foldable display terminal falls, the first protective structure is in contact with a point of collision earlier than the flexible display.
