1. A flexible display screen supporting structure, configured to support a flexible display screen, wherein the flexible display screen comprises a bendable region and a non-bendable region that are spaced apart in a first direction,
wherein the flexible display screen supporting structure comprises a flexible support layer, the flexible support layer comprises a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other, the first surface is used for connecting to a non-light-emitting side of the flexible display screen, and the second surface is divided into a first region and a second region that are spaced apart in the first direction;
a rigid support plate is arranged on the first region, a plurality of rigid support strips that are parallel to each other are arranged at intervals on the second region, and each of the plurality of the rigid support strips extends along a direction perpendicular to the first direction;
an orthographic projection of the first region onto the flexible display screen overlaps the non-bendable region, and an orthographic projection of the second region onto the flexible display screen overlaps the bendable region, when the flexible support layer is connected to the non-light-emitting side of the flexible display screen; and
the flexible support layer further comprises a flexible strip-shaped protrusion protruding between two adjacent rigid support strips;
wherein the flexible display screen supporting structure further comprises a protective frame capable of surrounding a periphery of the flexible display screen, wherein the rigid support plate comprises an edge connection member exposed at the first region of the flexible support layer, and the protective frame is connected to the edge connection member;
wherein the protective frame is made of a flexible material.
