1. A display device, comprising:
a first support member having a first surface and a second surface that are arranged oppositely;
a second support member having a gap with the first support member, and having a third surface and a fourth surface that are arranged oppositely; and
a flexible display module arranged on the first surface of the first support member and the third surface of the second support member, wherein:
the first surface comprises a first mating surface close to the second support member, the third surface comprises a third mating surface close to the first support member, and the first mating surface and the third mating surface are arranged symmetrically to each other; and
a distance from at least part of the first mating surface to the flexible display module increases as a distance from the at least part of the first mating surface to the second support member decreases, and a distance from at least part of the third mating surface to the flexible display module increases as a distance from the at least part of the third mating surface to the first support member decreases, so that when the display device is folded inward, the flexible display module contacts with the at least part of the first mating surface and the at least part of the third mating surface to form a water-drop shape,
wherein the flexible display module comprises:
a flexible support plate bonded to a part of the first surface and a part of the third surface;
a protective layer arranged on a side of the flexible support plate away from the first support member and the second support member;
a backsheet layer arranged on a side of the protective layer away from the flexible support plate;
a first adhesive layer arranged on a side of the backsheet layer away from the flexible support plate;
a flexible display panel arranged on a side of the first adhesive layer away from the flexible support plate;
a second adhesive layer arranged on a side of the flexible display panel away from the flexible support plate;
a polarizer arranged on a side of the second adhesive layer away from the flexible support plate;
a third adhesive layer arranged on a side of the polarizer away from the flexible support plate; and
a first cover plate arranged on a side of the third adhesive layer away from the flexible support plate.
