粘结层18包括第一缓冲部181,用以缓冲弯折柔性显示面板10时背膜17产生的应力,以使柔性显示面板10容易弯折。其中,柔性显示面板10根据预先设计的需弯折的位置而定义有至少一个可弯折区域105,第一缓冲部181为至少一个,相应设置于所述粘结层18的对应所述可弯折区域105的位置。
本实施方式中,第一缓冲部181为一贯穿粘结层18的通孔,进而在可弯折区域105的位置增加了背膜17释放应力的空间,而使得所述柔性显示面板10在所述可弯折区域105易于弯折。
在制造时,通过在一刚性基板上涂覆柔性材料溶液经烘干后形成所述柔性材料构成的柔性基板11,在柔性基板11的第一表面111上方形成背板13、显示层15等结构后,将柔性基板11从所述刚性基板上剥离,再通过具有特定图案的粘结层18将背膜17贴附于柔性基板11的第二表面113上。其中,粘结层18根据可弯折区域105的位置而设置有通孔,从而形成了所述特定图案。可以理解,在另一实施例中,柔性基板11可为一柔性薄膜,将所述柔性薄膜贴附在所述刚性基板上,再在柔性基板11上形成背板13、显示层15等结构后,将形成有背板13、显示层15的柔性基板11从所述刚性基板上剥离。所述柔性材料溶液与所述柔性薄膜可以选用由聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯、聚芳醚砜、聚萘二甲酸乙二酯、聚酰亚胺等高分子材料构成;或者,由铝、铜、银、不锈钢等金属材料构成。需要说明的是,本发明并不对柔性基板的材料作具体限定,无论选择何种材料(包括现有技术中的所有可用作柔性基板的柔性材料),其具备一定的伸展性,才能形成柔性基板。而在具体地制备过程中,就需要根据对显示面板的实际需求,选择满足伸展性要求的柔性材料。
由于第一缓冲部181为一贯穿粘结层18的通孔,增加了背膜17释放应力的空间,进而有效缓冲弯折柔性显示面板10时背膜17产生的应力,方便柔性显示面板100弯折。此外,由于背膜17在可弯折区域105的部分未被固定,进一步有利于柔性显示面板10的弯折。
本实施方式中,可弯折区域105位于非显示区103,根据预先设计的柔性显示面板10要弯折的位置进行设置。
进一步地,在制造柔性显示面板10时,将胶材涂布在第二表面113上形 成图案化的粘结层18。在一实施例中,可以通过切割的方式于粘结层18形成第一缓冲部181。
在其他实施例中,第一缓冲部181可以包括数个通孔,还可以将第一缓冲部181设置一个凹槽,例如设置成一个朝向背膜17开口的未贯穿粘结层18的凹槽,或者第一缓冲部181包括多个朝向背膜17开口的凹槽。
进一步地,柔性显示面板10还包括封装层19。封装层19覆盖显示层15及背板13,用于防止氧气及水汽进入柔性显示面板10的内部,延长柔性显示面板10的使用寿命。
请参阅图2,本发明第二实施方式提供一种柔性显示面板30。柔性显示面板30与第一实施方式提供的柔性显示面板10结构类似,其不同在于,柔性显示面板30还包括柔性填充物383,柔性填充物383容纳于粘结层38的第一缓冲部381。柔性填充物383能够缓冲弯折柔性显示面板30时背膜37产生的应力,有利于柔性显示面板30的弯折。
进一步地,所述柔性显示面板30包括显示区301、非显示区303及可弯折区域305,显示区301与非显示区303连接设置,可弯折区域305位于非显示区303。同样,第一缓冲部381及容纳于第一缓冲部381中的柔性填充物383对应可弯折区域305设置。
请参阅图3,本发明第三实施方式提供一种柔性显示面板50。柔性显示面板50与第一实施方式提供的柔性显示面板10结构类似,柔性显示面板50包括柔性基板51、背板53、显示层55、背膜57及粘结层58,柔性基板51包括相对设置的第一表面511及第二表面513,背板53设于第一表面511上,显示层55设于背板53远离所述粘结层58的一侧。背膜57通过粘结层58贴附于第二表面513,粘结层58包括第一缓冲部581,用以缓冲弯折柔性显示面板50时背膜57产生的应力。
本实施方式中,第一缓冲部581为一贯穿粘结层58的通孔。柔性显示面板50与柔性显示面板10的不同在于,背膜57还包括第二缓冲部573,第二缓冲部573对应粘结层58的第一缓冲部581设置,用于方便背膜17弯折变形。
如图3所示,在本实施例中,第二缓冲部573包括多个间隔设置的第一沟槽575,进而形成多个齿577。第一沟槽575的开口朝向粘结层58及背板53 设置。第一缓冲部581及第二缓冲部781对应可弯折区域705设置。
进一步地,背膜57包括相对设置的第三表面578及第四表面579,第三表面578与柔性显示面板50的粘结层58相邻设置,多个第一沟槽575形成于第三表面578,第一沟槽575的开口朝向粘结层58设置。
弯折柔性显示面板50时,由于第二缓冲部573设多个第一沟槽575,第二缓冲部573随着背膜57的弯曲易张开变形,有利于柔性显示面板50的弯折及释放背膜57弯折时产生的应力。进一步地,由于粘结层58的第一缓冲部581与背膜57的第二缓冲部573对应设置,第一缓冲部581能够缓冲弯折柔性显示面板50时背膜57产生的应力,进一步方便柔性显示面板50弯折。更甚者,由于第二缓冲部573的部分未被固定,有利于柔性显示面板50的弯折。
可以理解,第二缓冲部573的第一沟槽575的数量可以为一个,换句话说,可以将第二缓冲部573设置成一个开口朝向第一缓冲部581设置且未贯穿背膜57的凹槽。
制作柔性显示面板50时,对背膜57进行图案化,以形成第二缓冲部573。背膜57的图案化制作可用利用模具或成形后再进行如压印,镭射刻蚀或透过半导体制程等工艺制作出所需之图案与形状。
进一步地,柔性显示面板50包括显示区501、非显示区503及可弯折区域505,显示区501与非显示区503连接设置,可弯折区域505位于非显示区503,可弯折区域505根据预先设计的柔性显示面板50要弯折的位置进行设置,所述第一缓冲部581与第二缓冲部573均设置于对应所述可弯折区域505的位置。
请参阅图4,本发明第四实施方式提供一种柔性显示面板70。柔性显示面板70与第三实施方式提供的柔性显示面板50结构类似,粘结层78包括第一缓冲部781,背膜77包括对应第一缓冲部781设置的第二缓冲部773,第二缓冲部773包括多个间隔设置的第一沟槽775,背膜77包括相对设置的第三表面778及第四表面779,其不同在于,多个间隔设置的第一沟槽775形成于背膜77的第四表面779,换句话说,第一沟槽775的开口设于背膜77远离柔性显示面板70的粘结层78的一侧。由于第二缓冲部773包括多个间隔设置的第一沟槽775,弯折柔性显示面板70时,第二缓冲部773随着背膜77的弯曲易 张开变形,有利于柔性显示面板70的弯折及释放背膜77的弯折时产生的应力。
进一步地,柔性显示面板70包括显示区701、非显示区703及可弯折区域705,显示区701与非显示区703连接设置,可弯折区域705位于非显示区703。可弯折区域705根据预先设计的柔性显示面板70要弯折的位置进行设置,第一缓冲部781与第二缓冲部773均设置于对应可弯折区域705的位置。
可以理解,第二缓冲部773的第一沟槽775的数量可以为一个,换句话说,可以将第二缓冲部773设置成一个开口背离第一缓冲部781设置且未贯穿背膜77的凹槽。
制作柔性显示面板70时,对背膜77进行图案化,以形成第二缓冲部773。背膜77的图案化制作可用利用模具或成形后再进行如压印,镭射刻蚀或透过半导体制程等工艺制作出所需之图案与形状。
请参阅图5,本发明第五实施方式提供一种柔性显示面板90。柔性显示面板90与第三实施方式提供的柔性显示面板50结构类似,柔性显示面板90的柔性基板91包括相对设置的第一表面911及第二表面913,背膜97通过粘结层98与第二表面913连接,粘结层98包括第一缓冲部981,背膜97包括相对设置的第三表面971及第四表面973,第三表面971与粘结层98相邻设置,背膜97还包括对应粘结层98的第一缓冲部981设置的第二缓冲部974,第二缓冲部974包括多个第一沟槽975及多个第二沟槽977。多个第一沟槽975间隔地形成于第三表面971,第一沟槽975的开口朝向粘结层98设置。多个第二沟槽977间隔地形成于第四表面973。
进一步地,柔性显示面板90包括显示区901及非显示区903,柔性显示面板90的显示层95分布于显示区901,柔性显示面板90还包括可弯折区域905,可弯折区域905位于所述显示区901。可弯折区域905根据预先设计的柔性显示面板90要弯折的位置进行设置,第一缓冲部981、第二缓冲部974对应可弯折区域905设置。
显然,前述任一实施例中的可弯折区域还可以即设置于显示区又设置于非显示区。
请参阅图6,本发明还提供一种柔性显示装置100,其包括柔性显示面板,所述柔性显示面板为第一实施方式提供的柔性显示面板10、第二实施方式提 供的柔性显示面板30、第三实施方式提供的柔性显示面板50、第四实施方式提供的柔性显示面板70及第五实施方式提供的柔性显示面板90中的一种。柔性显示装置100可以为电视、显示器、笔记本电脑、手机、平板电脑、阅读器等具显示功能的电子设备。可以理解,柔性显示装置100还包括其他必要或非必要结构,例如装饰于所述柔性显示面板上的边框,在此不作赘述。
以上所述是本发明的优选实施例,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也视为本发明的保护范围。
