Refering to what is shown in Fig. 1, being a kind of schematic diagram of display panel provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is Fig. 1 along A-A' Cross-sectional view.Display panel provided in this embodiment includes: bent area 11 and non-bent area 12;Further include: first be oppositely arranged Substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, and positioned at the second substrate 20 towards multiple spacer materials 21 on 10 side of first substrate, position It is greater than the arrangement density of the spacer material 21 positioned at non-bent area 12 in the arrangement density of the spacer material 21 of bent area 11.
In the present embodiment, display panel includes two non-bent areas 12 and a bent area 11, and bent area 11 is located at two Between non-bent area 12, display panel is bent in bent area 11, realizes Flexible Displays and flexible bending.In other embodiments, Also optional display panel includes a non-bent area and a bent area, and bent area is located at the one side edge of display panel;Alternatively, Also optional display panel includes multiple non-bent areas and multiple bent areas, not to the bending position of display panel in the embodiment of the present invention It sets and is specifically limited.
In the present embodiment, optional first substrate 10 is the array substrate of display panel, and the second substrate 20 is display panel Color membrane substrates.Display function layer 30 is provided between first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, optional display function layer 30 is liquid crystal Layer.The substrate of optional first substrate 10 is flexible substrate, and the substrate of the second substrate 20 is flexible substrate, then can be realized display surface The Flexible Displays of plate and bending.In the present embodiment, first is provided on the side towards the second substrate 20 of first substrate 10 and is matched To film 31, the second alignment film 32 is provided on the side towards first substrate 10 of the second substrate 20.
In the present embodiment, at least one spacer material is additionally provided on the side towards first substrate 10 of the second substrate 20 21, spacer material 21 is used to support first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 to control the thickness of liquid crystal layer, and spacer material 21 can be set In the corresponding display area of display function layer 30, it can also be arranged in the non-display area of 30 periphery of display function layer.
After display panel bending, non-bent area is not influenced by folding s tress, and bent area is influenced by folding s tress, and bending is answered Power can make the box thickness of bent area different from non-bent area, cause box thick abnormal, influence display effect.In the present embodiment, it is located at curved The arrangement density of the spacer material 21 of folding area 11 is greater than the arrangement density of the spacer material 21 positioned at non-bent area 12, increases bent area The arrangement density of 11 spacer material 21 is able to ascend the supportive of the spacer material 21 of bent area 11, and then improves folding s tress and make At box thickness abnormal problem, solve regional area colour cast caused by box thickness exception accordingly and brightness dimmed equal displays be abnormal Problem improves display effect.
In the present embodiment, display panel includes the first substrate being oppositely arranged and the second substrate, and is located at the second substrate Towards multiple spacer materials on first substrate side, be greater than positioned at the arrangement density of the spacer material of bent area and be located at non-bent area Spacer material arrangement density.In the present embodiment, by increase bent area spacer material arrangement density, promoted bent area every The supportive of underbed, and then improve the box thickness abnormal problem of bent area caused by folding s tress, it is thick abnormal to solve box accordingly Caused by regional area colour cast and the dimmed equal displays exception of brightness problem, improve display effect.
Optionally, bent area 11 as shown in Figure 3 including two the first bent area 11a and is located at two first bent areas The second bent area 11b between 11a is greater than positioned at the arrangement density of the spacer material 21 of the first bent area 11a and is located at the second bending The arrangement density of the spacer material 21 of area 11b.Wherein, Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram that display panel shown in the present embodiment is in bending state, It is appreciated that Fig. 4 simply shows the bending state of display panel, the not bending structure of detailed example display panel.
Display panel is in bending, using hyperbolicity mode, specifically, the bending curvature and second of the first bent area 11a The bending curvature of bent area 11b is different, wherein bending of the bending curvature of the first bent area 11a greater than the second bent area 11b is bent Rate.Bending curvature is bigger, then folding s tress is bigger, it follows that the folding s tress of the first bent area 11a is greater than the second bent area The folding s tress of 11b, correspondingly, the first bent area 11a by folding s tress influenced be greater than the second bent area 11b be subject to it is curved Roll over stress influence.
In the present embodiment, it is greater than positioned at the arrangement density of the spacer material 21 of the first bent area 11a and is located at the second bent area 11b The arrangement density of spacer material 21 increase the row of the spacer material 21 of the first bent area 11a then compared with the second bent area 11b Cloth density is able to ascend the supportive of the spacer material 21 of the first bent area 11a, and then it is thick abnormal to improve box caused by folding s tress Problem improves display effect.
In addition, integrally shade in curvature junction since the factor of folding s tress will lead to bent area, in the present embodiment, The arrangement density for increasing the spacer material 21 of the first bent area 11a is able to ascend the support of the spacer material 21 of the first bent area 11a Property, and then improve the problem of bent area caused by folding s tress is integrally shaded, improve display effect.
