Abstract

A display device includes a display module, a control module, and an elastic component. The display module includes a plurality of light emitting units. The control module is electrically connected to the display module, and the elastic component is connected to the display module. When the display module moves in response to an elastic movement of the elastic component, the control module controls the status of each light emitting unit so as to display a content information in a moving range of the light emitting units.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising:

a display module including a plurality of light emitting units;

a control module electrically connected to the display module; and

an elastic component connected to the display module;

wherein the control module controls the status of each light emitting unit so as to display a content information in a moving range of the light emitting units when the display module moves in response to an elastic movement of the elastic component.

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein the light emitting units include multiple light emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), or lamps arranged in array or arbitrarily.

3. The display device of claim 1, further comprising:

a communication module, communicating with an external device, configured to transmit or receive a control data, wherein the control module controls the light emitting units according to the control data to display or update the content information.

4. The display device of claim 3, further comprising a storage unit for storing the control data.

5. The display device of claim 3, wherein the communication module communicates with the external device by means selected from the group consisting of a USB, a UART, an 12C, and a combination thereof.

6. The display device of claim 3, wherein the communication module communicates with the external device through an infrared ray, a blue tooth, or a wireless network.

7. The display device of claim 1, wherein the elastic component is consisted of a leaf spring, a coil spring, or a torsion spring.

8. The display device of claim 1, further comprising a power supply module for providing a power for the display module and the control module.

9. The display device of claim 8, wherein the power supply module provides the power for the display module and the control module through the elastic component.

10. The display device of claim 1, further comprising a light guide component connected to the display module to present the content information to a user.

11. The display device of claim 10, wherein the light guide component and the display module are arranged with an angle therebetween.

12. The display device of claim 11, wherein the light guide component and the display module is arranged with an angle of 45-degree therebetween.

13. The display device of claim 10, wherein the light guide component comprises a material for reflecting lights emitted from the light emitting units.

14. The display device of claim 1, wherein the elastic movement of the elastic component moves in multiple directions.

15. The display device of claim 14, wherein the elastic movement of the elastic component moves in a direction back and forth along left to right or along front to rear.

16. The display device of claim 1, further comprising a housing for covering at least a portion of the display module.

17. The display device of claim 16, wherein the housing is made of an opaque material, translucent material, or a transparent material.

18. The display device of claim 16, wherein the housing is provided with a viewing window, and a light guide component is provided corresponding to the viewing window to reflect lights emitted from the light emitting units and present the content information to a user.
