The flexible display panel includes a protective layer 100, a first substrate 101, an adhesive layer 102, and a back plate 103.
The first substrate 101 is disposed on the protective layer 100, and the adhesive layer 102 is disposed on the first substrate 101. In the prior art, the protective layer 100 is generally configured as a flexible film layer to protect the flexible panel, and the first substrate 101 may be a supporting layer, such as a metal supporting layer, so as to support and fix the panel through the first substrate 101. Meanwhile, the back plate 103 is disposed on the adhesive layer 102. The substrate and the back plate are bonded by the adhesive layer 102.

In particular, the support layer 200 may be disposed at a side of the light exiting from the display panel. Through the support layer 200 to perform a supporting and fixing function. Meanwhile, the adhesive layer 102 is disposed on the support layer 200, the back plate 103 is disposed on the adhesive layer 102, and the support layer 200 and the back plate 103 are adhered and fixed by the adhesive layer 102.
In the embodiment of the present application, the structures of the supporting layer 200 and the back plate 103 are only examples, and the supporting layer 200 and the back plate 103 mainly play roles of supporting, bending and fixing the film layers. Thus, the supporting layer 200 and the back plate 103 may be made of a film material with a certain rigidity and bending property. In practical production, the supporting layer 200 is usually made of an alloy material, and specifically, the alloy material may be an alloy steel plate or a high-strength steel sheet containing manganese. In the embodiment of the present application, the support layer 200 is preferably a high-strength steel sheet containing manganese. When a high-strength steel sheet is selected, the steel sheet has a single-body yield strength limit of not less than 1600MPa and good toughness. Meanwhile, the material of the back plate 103 is usually a rigid material, such as ultra-thin glass.

Further, the display module further includes a bending region 104 and a flat region 105. Wherein the flat region 105 is disposed on at least one side of the bending region 104. In the embodiment of the present application, the flat regions 105 are disposed at corresponding positions on both sides of the bending region 104. When the display module is bent, bending can occur at the center of the bending region 104, so that the straight regions 105 at the two sides relatively move, and finally the straight regions 105 at the two sides are mutually attached, thereby realizing bending of the flexible module.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the adhesive layer 102 is disposed, the adhesive layer 102 is disposed in the flat region 105, and the adhesive layer 102 is at least partially disposed in the bending region 104, and when the adhesive layer 102 is bent in the bending region 104, the adhesive layer 102 is bent and deformed.

Specifically, the hollowed-out area 2002 can be disposed at one side of the non-hollowed-out area 2001, and at the same time, the non-hollowed-out area 2001 separates two adjacent hollowed-out areas 2002. When the display panel is bent in the bending area, the material in the hollowed area is removed, so that the display panel is easier to bend when bending stress is applied to the display panel. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the hollow area 2002 is provided to effectively improve the bending performance of the module.
As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a support layer 200 according to an embodiment of the application. In the embodiment of the present application, the supporting layer 200 corresponding to the bending region 104 is taken as an example.

Preferably, the number of the main hollow area FA2 and the corresponding auxiliary hollow area may be plural, and in the embodiment of the present application, only one main hollow area FA2 and two auxiliary hollow areas are taken as an example for illustration.
The first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 are respectively disposed at two sides of the main hollowed-out area FA 2. Preferably, the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 may be symmetrically arranged with respect to the main hollowed-out area FA 2. When the display module is bent, if a good bending effect is obtained, such as a folding effect of forming a water drop screen after folding, in the embodiment of the application, the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 are symmetrically arranged relative to the main hollowed-out area FA2, so that when the display module is bent, the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 are ensured to have a consistent deformation effect, and the bending performance of the display module is effectively ensured.
Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the bending region 104 has better performance when bending, in the embodiment of the present application, the main hollow region FA2, the first auxiliary hollow region FA1 and the second auxiliary hollow region FA3 may be symmetrically disposed with respect to the center line OO' of the bending region 104. In this way, the main hollow area FA2 is directly disposed at a position corresponding to the middle portion of the bending area 104.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the width of the main hollowed-out area FA2 may be greater than the widths of the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3, and the widths of the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 may be the same. Further, a first non-hollowed-out area FB2 is arranged between the edge of the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the edge of the main hollowed-out area FA2, the width corresponding to the first non-hollowed-out area FB2 is a, a second non-hollowed-out area FB3 is arranged between the edge of the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 and the edge of the main hollowed-out area FA2, and the width corresponding to the second non-hollowed-out area FB3 is b.
In the embodiment of the application, the width a corresponding to the first non-hollowed-out area FB2 can be the same as the width b corresponding to the second non-hollowed-out area FB3, and the symmetry of the two side structures is ensured by setting the widths corresponding to the two different non-hollowed-out areas to be the same width, so that when the display module is bent, the bending consistency of the display module is ensured, and the bending effect of the display module is improved.
Further, a third non-hollowed-out area FB1 is correspondingly disposed between the edge of the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the edge of the bending area, and a fourth non-hollowed-out area FB4 is correspondingly disposed between the edge of the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 and the edge of the other side of the bending area, wherein the widths of the third non-hollowed-out area FB1 and the fourth non-hollowed-out area FB4 are the same.
Thus, in the embodiment of the present application, 7 different regions are sequentially disposed and formed in the bending region 104: the third non-hollowed-out area FB1, the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1, the first non-hollowed-out area FB2, the main hollowed-out area FA2, the second non-hollowed-out area FB3, the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 and the fourth non-hollowed-out area FB4. When setting, the above hollowed-out areas and non-hollowed-out areas can be set to other numbers according to the width of the corresponding bending area 104, which is not described herein. In the embodiment of the application, the plurality of different hollowed-out areas are arranged in the bending area, so that the bending stress required by the film layer during bending can be effectively reduced by the plurality of hollowed-out areas, and the bending effect and performance of the film layer are effectively improved.
Specifically, the central axis of the main hollow area FA2 may be parallel to or overlap with the bending central axis OO' of the bending area, so as to ensure symmetry in the bending process.
Meanwhile, the distance between the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the edge of one side of the bending area on the same side is larger than the distance between the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the main hollowed-out area FA 2.
Specifically, the widths of the first non-hollow-out area FB2 and the second non-hollow-out area FB3 may be set to 1mm-2mm. Preferably, 1.5mm is set.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the supporting layer is disposed, a plurality of hollowed-out patterns 333 are disposed in each hollowed-out area. Specifically, the hollowed pattern 333 may be a plurality of hollowed strips. The hollow strip can be in a strip shape, a round shape, an oval shape, a square shape, a wave shape and other structures. In the embodiment of the application, a hollow bar structure is taken as an example for explanation.
Further, the hollow structure can be set into other shapes, and through the hollow structure arranged on the supporting layer, the film material at the hollow structure is removed, and when the film material is stressed and bent, the bending stress in the film is reduced, so that the bending performance and the bending effect of the supporting layer are improved. Further, other identical or similar structures are within the scope of the present application, and will not be described herein.
Specifically, when the hollow bar structures in different hollow areas are set, the arrangement density of the hollow bars in the main hollow area FA2 may be greater than the arrangement density in the first auxiliary hollow area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollow area FA 3. Therefore, more hollowed-out strips can be arranged in the main hollowed-out area FA2, and in the auxiliary hollowed-out area, the number of the hollowed-out strips is relatively small, and when the main hollowed-out area FA2 is bent, the main hollowed-out area FA2 can be bent under small force, so that the bending performance of the display panel is effectively improved.
Preferably, the density of the hollow bars arranged in the main hollow area FA2 is twice or more than twice the density of the hollow bars arranged in the first auxiliary hollow area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollow area FA 3. The corresponding membrane layer in the area is provided with more hollowed-out strips, and when the membrane layer is bent, the supporting layer can be bent under the action of small stress, so that the bending performance of the supporting layer is improved.
Further, when the corresponding hollow strips in the main hollow area FA2 are provided, the hollow area of each hollow strip in the main hollow area may be larger than the hollow area of each hollow strip in the auxiliary hollow area. Specifically, the width of the hollowed-out strips in the main hollowed-out area FA2 is greater than the widths of the hollowed-out strips in the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA 3. When bending this supporting layer, because the fretwork area in the main fretwork district in center is bigger, it takes place crookedly more easily to effectually improved the crooked effect of display panel.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, when the corresponding hollow structures in the main hollow area and the auxiliary hollow area are provided, the hollow shape corresponding to the hollow structure in the main hollow area may be the same as or different from the hollow shape corresponding to the hollow structure in the auxiliary hollow area. If the hollow structures in the main hollow area and the auxiliary hollow area are all set to be hollow bar structures, or the hollow structures in the main hollow area are set to be hollow bar structures, and the hollow structures in the auxiliary hollow area are set to be circular or wave structures. The bending performance of the supporting layer is improved by arranging the hollow structure. Meanwhile, in the auxiliary hollowed-out area, the shapes of the hollowed-out structures in the plurality of different auxiliary hollowed-out areas can be the same or different. Specifically, in the auxiliary hollow areas on two sides of the main hollow area, the auxiliary hollow areas on two sides are symmetrically arranged relative to the main hollow area, for example, hollow structures in the first auxiliary hollow area FA1 and the second auxiliary hollow area FA3 are all arranged to be hollow bar structures, so that the two sides of the supporting layer are guaranteed to have consistent bending effect and good bending performance.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the width of the main hollowed-out area FA2 is set to 15mm-18mm, and the widths of the auxiliary hollowed-out areas on both sides are set to 7mm-9mm respectively. Preferably, the width of the main hollow area FA2 is set to 16mm, and the width of the auxiliary hollow areas on both sides is set to 8mm.

Wherein the openings 444 are disposed at the intersection of each hollowed-out strip and the edge of the supporting layer. By arranging a plurality of openings at the side edges of the supporting layer, the openings penetrate through the edges of the supporting layer corresponding to the bending areas. When the supporting layer is bent, the opening is disconnected and no film layer is connected, so that the edge of the supporting layer is easier to bend, and the bending performance of the supporting layer during bending is further improved.
Further, each opening 444 may be formed by a hollowed-out strip, and when each opening 444 is formed, the opening 444 may be a partial hollowed-out area of the hollowed-out strip, and the width between two adjacent openings 444 may be the same.
Further, when the opening 444 and the hollow bar structure corresponding to the main hollow area FA2 of the supporting layer are provided, in the two side edge areas 446 near the supporting layer, the two side edge areas 446 may be near one side of the opening 444, and the length of the hollow bar at the edge area may be greater than the length value of the corresponding hollow bar in the middle area of the supporting layer. Like this, in edge, the length grow of every fretwork strip corresponds fretwork region, and the material of the supporting layer that the fretwork was got rid of is more, when buckling it, can further reduce required bending stress, and then improves the bending property of this supporting layer.

The first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 are both arranged on the supporting layer 200, and the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 are disconnected at a position at least above the main hollow area FA 2. And the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 are at least partially disposed within the inflection region 104.
Preferably, the bonding layer covers the auxiliary hollow area, and the boundary of one side of the bonding layer, which is close to the main hollow area, is located at a corresponding position between the main hollow area and the auxiliary hollow area. In the following embodiment, the first auxiliary hollowed-out area FA1 is completely covered by the first adhesive layer 1021, and the second auxiliary hollowed-out area FA3 is completely covered by the second adhesive layer 1022. The first adhesive layer 1021 extends to the first non-hollowed-out area FB2, and the second adhesive layer 1022 extends to the second sub-hollowed-out area FA3.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the projection of the adhesive layer 102 on the supporting layer 200 does not overlap with the main hollow area FA 2. Specifically, the first adhesive layer 1021 does not overlap the main hollow area FA2, and the second adhesive layer 1022 does not overlap the main hollow area FA 2. In the embodiment of the application, the lengths of the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 are controlled, so that the adhesive effect of the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 on different film layers is ensured, and the stress formed in the adhesive layer is ensured, thereby effectively improving the adhesive effect of the adhesive layer and the comprehensive performance of the module.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the main hollow area FA2, and in the description below, only the positional relationship of one side is described, and the other side has the same structure, which is not repeated.
The first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 have a distance H, so that the distance from the first adhesive layer 1021 to the center of the main hollow area FA2 is H/2. Referring to fig. 5, the distance between the edge of the first adhesive layer 1021 near the center of the bending region and the edge of the main hollow region FA2 facing the first adhesive layer 1021 is L.
In the embodiment of the present application, the width of the interval H between the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 is greater than the width of the main hollowed-out area FA 2. And the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 do not overlap with the main hollow area FA 2.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the bending region is bent, the first adhesive layer 1021 and the second adhesive layer 1022 shrink inwards. In order to ensure the shrinking effect and effectively prevent the problems of degumming and air bubbles of the bonding layer after multiple bending. In the embodiment of the present application, the distance L between one side edge of the first adhesive layer 1021 and one side edge of the main hollow area FA2 is set to be 0.3mm-1.6mm. Preferably, the distance L is set to 0.6mm. In the embodiment of the application, the distance L is controlled to ensure the stress generated in the bonding layers at two sides when the bonding layers are bent, so as to ensure the reliability of the bonding layers.
As shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a relationship between a distance from an edge of the first adhesive layer to an edge of the main hollowed-out area and stress inside the adhesive layer according to an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, the dotted line in the graph represents the critical stress value corresponding to the bonding layer. Wherein the critical stress value is 0.237Mpa. When the stress value in the bonding layer is larger than the critical stress value, the display panel is easy to break off and bulge.
As can be seen from the corresponding curve relationship in the figure, when the distance L is smaller than 0.3mm, a large stress is generated inside the first adhesive layer when the display panel is bent, and the stress exceeds the safety reference value. At this time, the adhesive layer is liable to bulge.
When the distance L is more than 0.6mm, the stress value received in the adhesive layer tends to be stable, and the risk of swelling and debonding of the adhesive layer is significantly reduced. Thus, in embodiments of the present application, the distance L may be greater than 0.3mm. Preferably 0.6mm. In the embodiment of the application, the distance L is set to be 0.6mm, so that the bonding layer is ensured to have a better bonding effect, and the bonding layer is also ensured to have a smaller stress effect when being bent, so that the bonding layer is prevented from being subject to debonding risks such as bulge and the like. And finally, the comprehensive performances such as the bending effect of the display panel are effectively improved.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, when the adhesive layer 102 is provided, the thickness of the adhesive layer 102 is set to 10um-50um. In the embodiment of the application, the thickness of the adhesive layer 102 is set to 25um, so that the performance of the adhesive layer in bending and the adhesive effect thereof are effectively ensured.
Further, as shown in fig. 7A, fig. 7A is a schematic structural diagram of the display panel after bending. After the display panel 708 is bent, each film layer and the corresponding display module in the panel are bent or folded, and after the display panel 708 is bent, the size of the display panel 708 is reduced, and the display panel is convenient to carry. In the embodiment of the application, the display panel 708 deforms to a greater extent in the bending region 104 when bending, and the stress condition of the film layer at the intersection position of the bending region 104 and the flat region 105, such as the position corresponding to the extrusion region 733, is most complex, and each film layer at the region, such as the bonding layer, is subjected to a greater extrusion stress. Therefore, the adhesive layer corresponding to the pressed region 733 is likely to be deformed unevenly and easily released. After the display panel provided in the embodiment of the application is bent, the bonding layer in the extrusion area 733 can still keep good deformation, and the deformation problems such as debonding and bulge can not occur.
Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 7B, fig. 7B is a schematic simulation diagram and an enlarged effect diagram corresponding to the simulation diagram after the adhesive layer in the display film layer is bent under stress in the prior art. In combination with the panel structure in the prior art provided in fig. 1 and the bending schematic diagram of the corresponding display panel in fig. 7A, when the panel structure is bent, the adhesive layer 102 is pressed and deformed in the pressing area 733 between the first substrate 101 and the back plate 103 under the action of bending stress. In severe cases, the adhesive layer 102 is unevenly deformed in the pressing area 733, such as swelling and debonding, so as to affect the bending and bonding effects of the display panel. In the embodiment of the application, the bonding layer and the corresponding supporting layer are arranged according to the structure, when the bonding layer is bent, the bonding layer in the extrusion area 733 and other areas has better deformation effect, and the bulge and debonding can not occur in the extrusion area 733.

The protection layer 400 is used to protect the supporting layer 200 and improve the quality and reliability of the display module.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the material of the adhesive layer 102 may be selected from transparent optical adhesive or other transparent polymer adhesive materials. The adhesive layer 102 has better recovery performance, and when the bending area is bent, the adhesive layer 102 arranged on the hollowed-out area can be partially compressed into the hollowed-out strip under the action of stress. After the stress is removed, the adhesive layer 102 is restored again. Thereby effectively improving the bending effect.
Further, the material of the supporting layer 200 in the embodiment of the present application may be any one of materials with a certain strength, bending performance and supporting performance, such as a high-strength steel sheet containing manganese, a titanium alloy material, a carbon fiber material, a glass fiber, an aluminum alloy, or a composite material of a plurality of materials, which will not be described herein.
