In the present invention, directional terms such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "side", etc. refer to directions of the attached drawings. Accordingly, the directional terms used are used for explanation and understanding of the present invention, and are not used for limiting the present invention. In the drawings, elements having similar structures are denoted by the same reference numerals.
Referring to fig. 3 to 7, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the display panel of the present invention includes a display region 10 and a bending region 20, wherein the display region 10 is used for displaying a picture, one end of the bending region 20 is connected to one end of the display region 10, and the other end thereof is connected to a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) 60 through a Chip On Film (COF) 50.
The bending region 20 has a first surface (i.e., an outer surface) and a second surface (i.e., an inner surface) opposite to each other, the first surface being exposed to the outside after bending, the second surface being opposite to the first surface, and the first protective layer 30 being disposed on the first surface (the outer surface). That is, in a top view, it is equivalent to disposing the first protection layer 30 on the front surface of the bending region 20, and referring to fig. 4, the first protection layer 30 may cover the whole bending region 20. In one embodiment, a photosensitive glue is applied, for example, over the entire bend region 20 to obtain the first protective layer 30.
The second surface (inner surface) of the bending region 20 is provided with a second protective layer 40, and in combination with fig. 5, that is, in a plan view, the second protective layer 40 is provided on the back surface of the bending region 20. The material of the second protection layer 40 and the material of the first protection layer 30 are both flexible materials, and the hardness of the material of the second protection layer 40 is greater than that of the material of the first protection layer 30. That is, the second protective layer 40 and the first protective layer 30 are flexible materials with different hardness.
In one embodiment, the material of the first protection layer 30 may be a photosensitive adhesive, and the material of the second protection layer 40 may include at least one of PET plastic, PMMA and PDMS. The second protective layer 40 may be attached to the second surface of the bending region 20, and the first protective layer 30 may be disposed on the first surface of the bending region 20 by means of glue.

Wherein the width d of the second protection layer 40 is greater than or equal to the width of the bending region 20. The length L of the second protection layer 40 is equal to the length of the bending region 20.
In order to further prevent the connection lines from being broken, referring to fig. 6, a plurality of holes 41 are formed on the second protective layer 40. Because can produce great internal stress at the in-process of buckling, through setting up the hole, can release the internal stress, avoid the part position atress of connecting wire too big and produce the fracture, this hole can be the through-hole to release stress better. It can be understood that the holes may be arranged at intervals or overlapped, the arrangement of the holes may be random arrangement or regular arrangement, and the density of the holes is not limited. That is, the density, arrangement and shape of the holes in plan view are not intended to limit the present invention.

A support 70 is also provided between the two ends of the bending region 20, and the support 70 is located inside the two ends.
The first protection layer is arranged on the outer surface of the bending area, the second protection layer is arranged on the inner surface of the bending area, the first protection layer is made of flexible materials, and the hardness of the materials of the second protection layer is greater than that of the materials of the first protection layer, so that the acting force towards the direction of the circle center can be increased in the bending process, the bending area is integrally subjected to the acting force which is opposite in direction and close in size, the problem that the connecting wire is broken due to uneven stress is avoided, and the product yield is improved.
