Description

顯示裝置Display device

本發明是有關於一種顯示裝置，且特別是有關於一種折疊式的顯示裝置。The present invention relates to a display device, and particularly relates to a foldable display device.

近年來，撓性顯示技術逐漸成熟，各家廠商開始將可撓式顯示面板應用於各產品上。使用可撓式顯示面板的顯示裝置在展開時可實現大螢幕且在彎折時便於攜帶，因此適合應用至各種領域的顯示器，例如電視、監視器、攜帶型電話、超薄可移動式個人電腦、電子書以及電子紙等。具體而言，當使用者要使用折疊式顯示裝置時，可將其展開，以將可撓式顯示面板完全展開而能夠使用較大的顯示畫面。當使用者要移動折疊式顯示裝置時，可將折疊式顯示裝置折疊起來以縮小折疊式顯示裝置的尺寸，以便於攜帶。In recent years, flexible display technology has gradually matured, and various manufacturers have begun to apply flexible display panels to various products. A display device using a flexible display panel can achieve a large screen when unfolded and is easy to carry when bent, so it is suitable for displays in various fields, such as TVs, monitors, portable phones, ultra-thin portable personal computers , E-books, e-paper, etc. Specifically, when the user wants to use the foldable display device, it can be unfolded to fully unfold the flexible display panel so that a larger display screen can be used. When the user wants to move the foldable display device, the foldable display device can be folded to reduce the size of the foldable display device to facilitate carrying.

在上述折疊式顯示裝置中，可撓式顯示面板是由可相對翻轉的兩機體共同支撐。為了讓兩機體在翻轉過程中不會干涉於樞軸結構，一般需在各機體的邊緣形成對應於樞軸結構的讓位凹口。然而，此舉導致各機體在讓位凹口處無法對可撓式顯示面板進行支撐，使得可撓式顯示面板在鄰近樞軸結構處產生凹陷。In the above-mentioned foldable display device, the flexible display panel is jointly supported by two bodies that can be turned over. In order to prevent the two bodies from interfering with the pivot structure during the turning process, it is generally necessary to form a recess corresponding to the pivot structure on the edge of each body.

圖1是本發明一實施例的顯示裝置的立體圖。圖2A至圖2E是圖1的顯示裝置的作動流程圖。為使圖式較為清楚，圖1中的可撓式顯示面板130未在圖2A至圖2E中繪出。請參考圖1及圖2A至圖2E，本實施例的顯示裝置100例如是智慧型手機或平板電腦等可攜式電子裝置，且包括兩機體110、一樞軸結構120及一可撓式顯示面板130。兩機體110藉由樞軸結構120而相互樞接以適於相對轉動於圖1及圖2A所示的開啟狀態及圖2E所示的閉合狀態之間。各機體110具有相對的一頂面110b及一底面110c。可撓式顯示面板130包括兩非彎折區段132及一可彎折區段134，兩非彎折區段132分別配置於兩機體110的頂面110b上而被頂面110b承載，可彎折區段134連接於兩非彎折區段134之間。FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment of the invention. 2A to 2E are operation flowcharts of the display device in FIG. 1. To make the drawings clearer, the flexible display panel 130 in FIG. 1 is not depicted in FIGS. 2A to 2E. 1 and 2A to 2E, the display device 100 of this embodiment is a portable electronic device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, and includes two bodies 110, a pivot structure 120, and a flexible display板130。 Panel 130. The two bodies 110 are pivotally connected to each other by the pivot structure 120 so as to be suitable for relative rotation between the open state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A and the closed state shown in FIG. 2E. Each body 110 has a top surface 110b and a bottom surface 110c opposite to each other. The flexible display panel 130 includes two non-bending sections 132 and a bendable section 134. The two non-bending sections 132 are respectively disposed on the top surfaces 110b of the two bodies 110 and are carried by the top surfaces 110b. The bending section 134 is connected between the two non-bending sections 134.

圖3A至圖3E分別是圖1及圖2A至圖2E的顯示裝置的局部剖視圖。本實施例的顯示裝置100更包括至少一支撐件140(繪示為兩個)，兩支撐件140分別可轉動地連接於兩機體110。隨著兩機體110從圖1、圖2A及圖3A所示的開啟狀態相對轉動至圖2E及圖3E所示的閉合狀態，各支撐件140如圖3A至圖3E所示相對於對應的機體110轉動而支撐可撓式顯示面板130的可彎折區段134。3A to 3E are partial cross-sectional views of the display device of FIGS. 1 and 2A to 2E, respectively. The display device 100 of this embodiment further includes at least one support member 140 (two are shown), and the two support members 140 are respectively rotatably connected to the two body 110. As the two bodies 110 relatively rotate from the open state shown in FIGS. 1, 2A, and 3A to the closed state shown in FIGS. 2E and 3E, each support member 140 is relative to the corresponding body as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E. The 110 rotates to support the bendable section 134 of the flexible display panel 130.

圖4A至圖4E分別是圖3A至圖3E的顯示裝置的立體圖。為使圖式較為清楚，圖3A至圖3E中的可撓式顯示面板130未在圖4A至圖4E中繪出。具體而言，在兩機體110從圖3A及圖4A所示的開啟狀態相對轉動至圖3E及圖4E所示的閉合狀態的過程中，樞軸結構120的外殼122之限位端122a及可撓式顯示面板130的可彎折區段134分別在支撐件140的下側及上側對支撐件140進行止擋限位，使兩支撐件140的相對轉動角度小於兩機體110的相對轉動角度，從而各支撐件140以圖3A至圖3E所示的預定方式與對應的機體110產生相對轉動。4A to 4E are perspective views of the display device of FIGS. 3A to 3E, respectively. To make the drawings clearer, the flexible display panel 130 in FIGS. 3A to 3E is not depicted in FIGS. 4A to 4E. Specifically, during the relative rotation of the two bodies 110 from the open state shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A to the closed state shown in FIGS. 3E and 4E, the limit end 122a of the housing 122 of the pivot structure 120 and the can The bendable section 134 of the flexible display panel 130 stops and restricts the support 140 on the lower and upper sides of the support 140, so that the relative rotation angle of the two supports 140 is smaller than the relative rotation angle of the two bodies 110, As a result, each support member 140 rotates relative to the corresponding body 110 in a predetermined manner as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E.

如上所述，本實施例的顯示裝置100增設了用以支撐可撓式顯示面板130的支撐件140。從而，當兩機體110為開啟狀態時，兩機體110及兩支撐件140如圖3A所示共同支撐可撓式顯示面板130，且各支撐件140可隨著兩機體110的閉合而相對於機體110轉動以在圖3B至圖3E的作動過程中持續支撐可撓式顯示面板130，使得可撓式顯示面板130獲得足夠的支撐。並且，藉由各支撐件140相對於機體110的轉動，可避免支撐件140在機體110翻轉的過程中與樞軸結構120產生干涉。As described above, the display device 100 of this embodiment is additionally provided with a support 140 for supporting the flexible display panel 130. Therefore, when the two bodies 110 are in the open state, the two bodies 110 and the two supporting members 140 jointly support the flexible display panel 130 as shown in FIG. 3A, and each supporting member 140 can be relative to the body as the two bodies 110 are closed. The 110 rotates to continuously support the flexible display panel 130 during the operation process of FIGS. 3B to 3E, so that the flexible display panel 130 obtains sufficient support. Moreover, by rotating each support member 140 relative to the body 110, the support member 140 can be prevented from interfering with the pivot structure 120 during the turning of the body 110.

詳言之，在本實施例中，當兩機體110如圖2E及圖3E所示為閉合狀態時，各機體110的一末端110a朝向樞軸結構120。為了避免各機體110的末端110a在所述閉合狀態下干涉於樞軸結構120，各機體110在其末端110a可具有一凹口N，以對樞軸結構120進行讓位。為了避免可撓式顯示面板130在凹口N處無法獲得支撐而凹陷，各支撐件140配置於對應的機體110的末端110a處的凹口N內，以在凹口N處支撐可撓式顯示面板130。並且，各支撐件140可相對於對應的機體110轉動而如圖2E及圖3E所示部分地從機體110的頂面110b凸伸出而部分地位於凹口N外，以使各支撐件140在所述閉合狀態下不干涉於樞軸結構120，且同時使各支撐件140在所述閉合狀態下可支撐可撓式顯示面板130的可彎折區段134。In detail, in this embodiment, when the two bodies 110 are in the closed state as shown in FIG. 2E and FIG. 3E, one end 110 a of each body 110 faces the pivot structure 120. In order to prevent the end 110 a of each body 110 from interfering with the pivot structure 120 in the closed state, each body 110 may have a notch N at its end 110 a to make way for the pivot structure 120. In order to prevent the flexible display panel 130 from being unsupported at the notch N and being recessed, each support member 140 is arranged in the notch N at the end 110a of the corresponding body 110 to support the flexible display at the notch N.板130。 Panel 130. In addition, each support member 140 can rotate relative to the corresponding body 110 and partially protrude from the top surface 110b of the body 110 as shown in FIG. 2E and FIG. 3E, and is partially located outside the notch N, so that each support member 140 In the closed state, it does not interfere with the pivot structure 120, and at the same time, each support member 140 can support the bendable section 134 of the flexible display panel 130 in the closed state.

圖5是圖1的機體及支撐件的分解圖。請參考圖5，本實施例的各支撐件140例如是藉其軸孔140a而樞接於對應的凹口N的相對兩內壁W上的軸部P。在其他實施例中，各支撐件140可藉由其他適當方式而可轉動地連接於對應的機體110，本發明不對此加以限制。Fig. 5 is an exploded view of the body and support of Fig. 1. Please refer to FIG. 5, each support member 140 of this embodiment is pivotally connected to the shaft portion P on the two opposite inner walls W of the corresponding recess N through its shaft hole 140 a, for example. In other embodiments, each supporting member 140 may be rotatably connected to the corresponding body 110 by other suitable methods, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

在本實施例中，兩機體110分別沿一第一轉動軸線A1(標示於圖3A至圖3E)及一第二轉動軸線A2(標示於圖3A至圖3E)可轉動地連接於樞軸結構120，且各支撐件140沿一第三轉動軸線A3(標示於圖3A至圖3E)可轉動地連接於對應的機體110。第一轉動軸線A1、第二轉動軸線A2及第三轉動軸線A3例如相互平行。此外，當兩機體110如圖3A所示為開啟狀態且具有180度的相對展開角度時，第三轉動軸線A3位於第一轉動軸線A1與第二轉動軸線A2之間。藉此，各支撐件140能夠以圖3A至圖3E所示方式隨著兩機體110的相對轉動而以預定路徑繞對應的機體110的旋轉中心(第一轉動軸線A1或第二轉動軸線A2)公轉並繞第三轉動軸線A3自轉而作動。In this embodiment, the two bodies 110 are respectively rotatably connected to the pivot structure along a first rotation axis A1 (marked in FIGS. 3A to 3E) and a second rotation axis A2 (marked in FIGS. 3A to 3E) 120, and each support member 140 is rotatably connected to the corresponding body 110 along a third rotation axis A3 (marked in FIGS. 3A to 3E). The first rotation axis A1, the second rotation axis A2, and the third rotation axis A3 are, for example, parallel to each other. In addition, when the two bodies 110 are opened as shown in FIG. 3A and have a relative deployment angle of 180 degrees, the third rotation axis A3 is located between the first rotation axis A1 and the second rotation axis A2. Thereby, each support member 140 can follow the relative rotation of the two bodies 110 in the manner shown in FIG. 3A to FIG. 3E to follow the rotation center of the corresponding body 110 (the first rotation axis A1 or the second rotation axis A2) in a predetermined path. It revolves and rotates around the third axis of rotation A3 to act.

此外，本實施例的可撓式顯示面板130具有一中性層130a。中性層130a於可彎折區段134及非彎折區段132中延伸。當兩機體110在開啟狀態以及閉合狀態之間變化時，兩機體110的旋轉中心(即第一轉動軸線A1及第二轉動軸線A2)始終保持在可撓式顯示面板130的中性層130a上。前述的中性層130a是指材料在彎曲過程中，外層受拉伸，內層受擠壓，而在材料的斷面上必然會有一個不受拉也不受壓的過渡層，應力幾乎等於零，這個過渡層稱為材料的中性層。簡單地說，中性層130a在彎曲過程中的長度和彎曲前一樣，保持不變。中性層130a並非是指可撓式顯示面板130在斷面上的某一特定高度上的層，中性層130a會依照可撓式顯示面板130的選用材料、實施厚度等變因而在可撓式顯示面板130的斷面上的不同高度上。換言之，中性層130a可能位在可撓式顯示面板130的表面上，或是位在可撓式顯示面板130的內部。舉例而言，若可撓式顯示面板130的表面還貼附有其他鋼性較強的材料時，例如用來保護可撓式顯示面板130的表面的可彎折之玻璃或金屬材料，此時將材料及可撓式顯示面板130視為一個整體，中性層130a可能位在包含有材料及可撓式顯示面板130的此一整體的表面上。在其他實施例中，第一轉動軸線A1及第二轉動軸線A2可不位於中性層130a上，本發明不對此加以限制。In addition, the flexible display panel 130 of this embodiment has a neutral layer 130a. The neutral layer 130 a extends in the bendable section 134 and the non-bendable section 132. When the two bodies 110 change between the open state and the closed state, the rotation centers of the two bodies 110 (ie, the first rotation axis A1 and the second rotation axis A2) are always maintained on the neutral layer 130a of the flexible display panel 130 . The aforementioned neutral layer 130a means that during the bending process of the material, the outer layer is stretched and the inner layer is squeezed, and there must be a transition layer that is neither stretched nor compressed on the cross section of the material, and the stress is almost zero , This transition layer is called the neutral layer of the material. Simply put, the length of the neutral layer 130a during the bending process is the same as before the bending, and remains unchanged. The neutral layer 130a does not refer to a layer at a certain height on the cross section of the flexible display panel 130. The neutral layer 130a will vary in accordance with the selection of materials and implementation thickness of the flexible display panel 130, and therefore it is flexible. Type display panel 130 at different heights on the cross section. In other words, the neutral layer 130 a may be located on the surface of the flexible display panel 130 or located inside the flexible display panel 130. For example, if other materials with strong rigidity are attached to the surface of the flexible display panel 130, such as bendable glass or metal materials used to protect the surface of the flexible display panel 130, then Considering the material and the flexible display panel 130 as a whole, the neutral layer 130a may be located on the surface of the whole including the material and the flexible display panel 130. In other embodiments, the first rotation axis A1 and the second rotation axis A2 may not be located on the neutral layer 130a, which is not limited in the present invention.

在本實施例的可撓式顯示面板130中，各非彎折區段132的一末端部分132a(標示於圖3A至圖3E)鄰接可彎折區段134。由於各支撐件140如上述般是用以支撐可撓式顯示面板130的可彎折區段134而非用以支撐非彎折區段132，故當兩機體110為圖3E所示的閉合狀態時，兩非彎折區段132的兩末端部分132a未受到支撐件140頂推而維持為相互平行的狀態。In the flexible display panel 130 of this embodiment, an end portion 132 a (marked in FIGS. 3A to 3E) of each non-bending section 132 is adjacent to the bendable section 134. Since each support member 140 is used to support the bendable section 134 of the flexible display panel 130 instead of the non-bendable section 132 as described above, when the two bodies 110 are in the closed state shown in FIG. 3E At this time, the two end portions 132a of the two non-bending sections 132 are not pushed by the support 140 and are maintained in a parallel state.

在本實施例中，各支撐件140具有一止擋凸部142。當兩機體110為圖3A所示的開啟狀態且具有180度的相對展開角度時，各支撐件140的止擋凸部142抵靠於對應的機體110的底面110c，以固定各支撐件140的旋轉角度。藉此，可確保各支撐件140的上表面140a與對應的機體110的頂面110b共平面，以共同對可撓式顯示面板130進行良好的支撐。In this embodiment, each support member 140 has a stop protrusion 142. When the two bodies 110 are in the open state shown in FIG. 3A and have a relative expansion angle of 180 degrees, the stop protrusion 142 of each support 140 abuts against the bottom surface 110c of the corresponding body 110 to fix the support 140 Rotation angle. Thereby, it can be ensured that the upper surface 140a of each support member 140 and the top surface 110b of the corresponding body 110 are coplanar, so as to jointly support the flexible display panel 130 well.

此外，本實施例的顯示裝置100更包括兩架體150。兩機體110分別連接於兩架體150，各架體150可轉動地連接於樞軸結構120。當兩機體110為圖3A所示的開啟狀態且具有180度的相對展開角度時，各架體150的一末端150a頂撐對應的支撐件140，以更穩固地固定各支撐件140的旋轉角度。在本實施例中，樞軸結構120具有兩弧形導槽120a(繪示於圖3E)，各架體150具有一弧形區段152，兩弧形區段152分別滑設於兩弧形導槽120a，使各架體150藉由弧形區段152沿弧形導槽120a的滑動而相對於樞軸結構120轉動。在其他實施例中，各架體150可藉由其他適當方式而可轉動地連接於樞軸結構120，本發明不對此加以限制。此外，樞軸結構120內可包含連接於兩架體150之間的齒輪組，使兩架體150能夠據以同步作動。在其他實施例中，可將齒輪組替換為其他形式的連動機構，本發明不對此加以限制。In addition, the display device 100 of this embodiment further includes two frames 150. The two bodies 110 are respectively connected to the two frame bodies 150, and each frame body 150 is rotatably connected to the pivot structure 120. When the two bodies 110 are in the open state shown in FIG. 3A and have a relative deployment angle of 180 degrees, one end 150a of each frame 150 supports the corresponding support 140 to more firmly fix the rotation angle of each support 140 . In this embodiment, the pivot structure 120 has two arc-shaped guide grooves 120a (shown in FIG. 3E), each frame 150 has an arc-shaped section 152, and the two arc-shaped sections 152 are slidably disposed on the two arc-shaped sections. The guide groove 120a enables each frame 150 to rotate relative to the pivot structure 120 by sliding the arc-shaped section 152 along the arc-shaped guide groove 120a. In other embodiments, each frame 150 can be rotatably connected to the pivot structure 120 by other suitable methods, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the pivot structure 120 may include a gear set connected between the two frame bodies 150, so that the two frame bodies 150 can act in synchronization accordingly. In other embodiments, the gear set can be replaced with other forms of linkage mechanism, which is not limited in the present invention.

綜上所述，本發明的顯示裝置增設了用以支撐可撓式顯示面板的支撐件。當兩機體為開啟狀態時，兩機體及支撐件共同支撐可撓式顯示面板，且支撐件可隨著兩機體的閉合而相對於機體轉動以持續支撐可撓式顯示面板，使得可撓式顯示面板獲得足夠的支撐。並且，藉由支撐件相對於機體的轉動，可避免支撐件在機體翻轉的過程中與樞軸結構產生干涉。In summary, the display device of the present invention is additionally provided with a support for supporting the flexible display panel. When the two bodies are in an open state, the two bodies and the supporting member jointly support the flexible display panel, and the supporting member can rotate relative to the body as the two bodies are closed to continuously support the flexible display panel, so as to make the flexible display The panel gets sufficient support. In addition, by rotating the support member relative to the body, the support member can avoid interference with the pivot structure during the turning of the body.
