1. A flexible display module, comprising:
a supporting component comprising a cavity;
a flexible display panel comprising a main display screen, the main display screen located on the supporting component and having a bending area, wherein a length of the supporting component is less than a length of the main display screen, and an end of the supporting component along a lengthwise direction of the supporting component is flush with an end of the main display screen along a lengthwise direction of the main display screen;
a telescopic component located at another end of the supporting component away from the bending area and unflush with the main display screen, the telescopic component comprising a supporting member, and the supporting member being capable of telescopically moving out of and retracted into the cavity of the supporting component;
a controlling mechanism connected to the telescopic component, the controlling mechanism configured to control the telescopic component to telescopically move relative to the supporting component;
wherein the main display screen comprises a flattened state and a bent state; when the main display screen is in the flattened state, the supporting member extends out of the cavity of the supporting component, and the main display screen is supported by the supporting component and the supporting member; when the main display screen is in the bent state, at least part of the supporting member is retracted into the cavity of the supporting component.
