1. A support apparatus, disposed on a back side of a bendable structure, comprising:
a plurality of adjustment structures that are sequentially connected, wherein each of the plurality of adjustment structures is configured to be connected to the back side of the bendable structure, and any two adjacent adjustment structures of the plurality of adjustment structures are rotatable relative to each other,
wherein each of the adjustment structures comprises a fixing member and a rotating member; wherein
the fixing member is connected to the rotating member, and is configured to fixedly connect the rotating member to the bendable structure; and
the rotating member is rotatably connected to the rotating member of an adjacent adjustment structure,
wherein the rotating member comprises a body structure, and a first lug and a second lug that are disposed on two sides of the body structure respectively; wherein
the body structure is provided with a first through hole, the fixing member being fixedly connected to the bendable structure by passing through the first through hole; and
the first lug is rotatably connected to a second lug of the adjacent adjustment structure,
wherein each of the first lug and the second lug comprises a first side face and a second side face that are opposite to each other; wherein the second side face is closer to the first through hole relative to the first side face, and both the first side face and the second side face are parallel to an axial direction of the first through hole; and
the first side face of the first lug is in contact with a first side face of the second lug of the adjacent adjustment structure, or
the second side face of the first lug is in contact with a second side face of the second lug of the adjacent adjustment structure.
