具体实施方式
为使本申请的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本申请作进一步详细的说明。
在相关技术中,如图1所示,针对边缘具有曲面结构的显示装置,其包括带有保护层的显示面板11、第一粘接层12和支撑层13,带有保护层的显示面板11包括显示面板、保护层以及设置在显示面板与保护层之间的第二粘接层。在实际制作过程中,需要将支撑层13的边缘制作成具有圆弧状的 曲面结构,然后将带有保护层的显示面板11通过第一粘接层12贴附在支撑层13上,使得带有保护层的显示面板11在支撑层13的曲面区域处也弯曲,从而使得显示装置的边缘具有曲面结构。
但是,由于带有保护层的显示面板11的厚度较大,其在曲面区域A1处具有较强的回复力,使得带有保护层的显示面板11容易从弯曲状态回复至平直状态,因此,第一粘接层12无法将带有保护层的显示面板11与支撑层13牢靠地粘合在一起,造成带有保护层的显示面板11与支撑层13在曲面区域A1处产生分离。
为了保证带有保护层的显示面板11与支撑层13可以稳定地粘合在一起,可改善第一粘接层12的材料成分,优化第一粘接层12的粘接性能,暂缓常温下带有保护层的显示面板11与支撑层13的分离问题,以保证后续工序正常进行,但是,在高温高湿的信赖性测试时,带有保护层的显示面板11与支撑层13依旧会发生分离。
因此,本申请实施例通过在位于曲面区域处的支撑层上设置贯穿的第二凹槽,并在对应区域处的保护层上设置第一凹槽,第一凹槽和第二凹槽相互连通,因此,在第一凹槽和第二凹槽内设置第一粘接层时,第一粘接层与保护层和支撑层的粘合力增强,使得形成有保护层的显示面板可以与具有曲面结构的支撑层稳定、牢固地贴合在一起,避免保护层与支撑层分离,从而保证了后续的显示装置的整机组装工序正常进行,且提高了产品的信赖性。
参照图2,示出了本申请实施例的一种显示装置的剖面示意图,图3示出了本申请实施例的另一种显示装置的剖面示意图,图4示出了本申请实施例的再一种显示装置的剖面示意图。
本申请实施例提供了一种显示装置,包括:显示面板21、设置在远离显示面板21出光面一侧的保护层22,以及设置在保护层22远离显示面板21一侧的支撑层23;显示面板21包括平面区域B2以及位于平面区域B2至少一侧的曲面区域A2,支撑层23在显示面板21上的正投影至少位于曲面区域A2;在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,保护层22具有至少一个第一凹槽,支撑层23具有贯穿第二凹槽,第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正 投影与第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影存在重合区域,且第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影位于曲面区域A2;显示装置还包括设置在第一凹槽和第二凹槽内的第一粘接层24。
在实际产品中,显示面板21为OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)显示面板,其包括柔性衬底、设置在柔性衬底上的像素驱动电路,设置在像素驱动电路远离柔性衬底一侧的发光器件层,以及覆盖发光器件层的封装层,此外,显示面板21还可以包括设置在封装层远离发光器件层一侧的触控功能层。其中,发光器件层包括阳极、阴极以及设置阳极与阴极之间的有机发光层,像素驱动电路与发光器件层中的阳极连接,用于向阳极提供电压,以驱动有机发光层发光;封装层为薄膜封装层,其包括有机封装层和/或无机封装层,以防止水氧进入显示面板21内部;触控功能层包括触控驱动电极和触控感应电极,以检测用户的触控位置。并且,显示面板21包括平面区域B2以及位于平面区域B2至少一侧的曲面区域A2。
在远离显示面板21出光面的一侧设置有保护层22,保护层22在显示面板21上的正投影位于显示面板21的平面区域B2和曲面区域A2。保护层22实际上是显示装置中的背膜,在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,该保护层22具有至少一个第一凹槽,每个第一凹槽可以贯穿保护层22,也可以不贯穿保护层22。
在保护层22远离显示面板21一侧设置有支撑层23,该支撑层23在显示面板21上的正投影至少位于显示面板21的曲面区域A2处。并且,在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,支撑层23也具有贯穿的第二凹槽,第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影位于曲面区域A2处;第二凹槽的数量可以为一个或多个,且第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影与第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影存在重合区域,也就是说,第一凹槽与第二凹槽连通。
此外,在第一凹槽和第二凹槽内还设置有第一粘接层24,第一粘接层24的材料为固化型胶,如紫外固化型胶或热固化型胶,其用于将曲面区域A2处的支撑层23与保护层22粘合在一起。
需要说明的是,在制作得到支撑层23之后,支撑层23就具有了平面结 构和曲面结构,曲面结构位于支撑层23的边缘区域,在将固定在显示面板21背光侧的保护层22与支撑层23粘合之前,保护层22和显示面板21的各个区域均为平面结构,而将固定在显示面板21背光侧的保护层22通过第一粘接层24与支撑层23粘合在一起之后,保护层22中与支撑层23的曲面结构接触的位置处也为曲面结构,相应的,对应位置处的显示面板21也为曲面结构,从而使得显示面板21具有平面区域B2以及位于平面区域B2至少一侧的曲面区域A2。另外,由于在曲面区域A2处,显示面板21的出光面呈曲面结构,因此,此时的第一凹槽和第二凹槽的延伸方向,是垂直于呈曲面结构的显示面板21的出光面的。
在实际产品中,在曲面区域A2处,支撑层23背离保护层22一侧的表面、支撑层23与保护层22接触的表面、保护层22与显示面板21接触的表面,以及显示面板21的出光面均为曲面结构,具体的,该曲面结构为弧面。
本申请实施例通过在位于曲面区域A2处的支撑层23上设置贯穿的第二凹槽,并在对应区域处的保护层22上设置第一凹槽,第一凹槽和第二凹槽相互连通,因此,在第一凹槽和第二凹槽内设置第一粘接层24时,第一粘接层24与保护层22和支撑层23的粘合力增强,使得形成有保护层22的显示面板21可以与具有曲面结构的支撑层23稳定、牢固地贴合在一起,避免保护层22与支撑层23分离,从而保证了后续工序正常进行,且提高了产品的信赖性。
在本申请一种可选的实施方式中,如图2和图3所示,支撑层23具有与第一凹槽一一对应的第二凹槽,且每个第一凹槽与对应的第二凹槽相互连通。
此时,第一凹槽的数量与第二凹槽的数量相等,且每个第一凹槽仅与其对应的第二凹槽连通,即第一凹槽与第二凹槽一一对应。
在本申请另一种可选的实施方式中,如图4所示,保护层22具有至少两个第一凹槽,支撑层23具有至少一个第二凹槽,每个第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影至少覆盖两个第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影。
此时,第一凹槽的数量小于第二凹槽的数量,支撑层23上设置的第二 凹槽的数量为至少一个,且每个第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影至少覆盖两个第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影,即每个第二凹槽与至少两个第一凹槽连通。
例如,保护层22具有4个第一凹槽,支撑层23具有2个第二凹槽,且每个第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影覆盖2个第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影;或者,保护层22具有4个第一凹槽,支撑层23具有1个第二凹槽,且该第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影覆盖所有的第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影。
在本申请实施例中,如图2至图4所示,在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,第二凹槽包括至少两个依次连通的子凹槽,且针对任意相邻的两个子凹槽,靠近显示面板21的子凹槽在显示面板21的正投影位于远离显示面板21的子凹槽在显示面板21的正投影内。
通过将第二凹槽设置成至少两个依次连通的子凹槽,使得第二凹槽的侧壁呈阶梯状,并且,靠近显示面板21的子凹槽在显示面板21的正投影位于远离显示面板21的子凹槽在显示面板21的正投影内,也就是说,从靠近显示面板21到远离显示面板21的方向上,子凹槽的尺寸逐渐增大。
各个子凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影形状均为封闭图形,如矩形或圆形等。当各个子凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影形状为矩形时,从靠近显示面板21到远离显示面板21的方向上,子凹槽的长度逐渐增大,而子凹槽的宽度不变;或者,子凹槽的长度不变,而子凹槽的宽度逐渐增大;或者,子凹槽的长度和宽度均逐渐增大;当各个子凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影形状为圆形时,从靠近显示面板21到远离显示面板21的方向上,子凹槽的直径逐渐增大。其中,子凹槽的长度指的是子凹槽在沿着平行于显示面板21的行方向上的尺寸,子凹槽的宽度指的是子凹槽在沿着平行于显示面板21的列方向上的尺寸。
需要说明的是,第二凹槽也可以仅包括一个子凹槽,此时,第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影形状为一个封闭图形,若将第二凹槽设置成至少两个依次连通的子凹槽时,第一凹槽和第二凹槽内设置的第一粘接层24,其与支撑层23的接触面积更大,则保护层22与支撑层23之间的粘合力更 强,从而进一步防止保护层22与支撑层23分离。
如图2和图4所示,最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影,覆盖第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影。
也就是说,最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽的尺寸大于第一凹槽的尺寸,并且,由于从靠近显示面板21到远离显示面板21的方向上,子凹槽的尺寸逐渐增大,因此,第二凹槽中的各个子凹槽的尺寸均大于第一凹槽的尺寸。
如图3所示,最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影,位于第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影内,且第二凹槽中除最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽外的其他子凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影,均覆盖第一凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影。
也就是说,最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽的尺寸小于第一凹槽的尺寸,而第二凹槽中除最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽外的其他子凹槽,其尺寸均大于第一凹槽的尺寸。
需要说明的是,当凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影形状为矩形时,凹槽的尺寸指的是凹槽的长度和/或宽度,当凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影形状为圆形时,凹槽的尺寸指的是凹槽的直径。
在本申请实施例中,第一凹槽的深度小于或等于保护层22的厚度,保护层22的厚度为25μm至200μm。
在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,当第一凹槽的深度等于保护层22的厚度时,第一凹槽贯穿保护层22,此时,第一粘接层24会与支撑层23、保护层22和显示面板21均接触;在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,当第一凹槽的深度小于保护层22的厚度时,第一凹槽未贯穿保护层22,且该第一凹槽的开口是朝向支撑层23所在的一侧,此时,第一粘接层24仅与支撑层23和保护层22接触,由于在曲面区域A2处,主要是保护层22与支撑层23之间容易发生分离,而保护层22与显示面板21之间固定的很牢靠,因此,将第一凹槽设置成未贯穿保护层22,也可以避免保护层22与支撑层23之间发生分离。
其中,保护层22的厚度为25μm至200μm。例如,保护层22的厚度 为100μm,此时,第一凹槽的深度可以为50μm、80μm、100μm等;或者,保护层22的厚度为150μm,此时,第一凹槽的深度可以为100μm、120μm、150μm等。
如图5至图8所示,保护层22具有多个第一凹槽221,且多个第一凹槽221沿行方向和/或列方向分布。
如图5所示,保护层22具有4个第一凹槽221,且这4个第一凹槽221沿平行于显示面板21的行方向分布;如图6所示,保护层22具有12个第一凹槽221,且这12个第一凹槽221呈3行4列分布,即每行分布有4个第一凹槽221,每列分布有3个第一凹槽221;如图7所示,保护层22具有5个第一凹槽221,且这5个第一凹槽221沿平行于显示面板21的行方向分布;如图8所示,保护层22具有20个第一凹槽221,且这20个第一凹槽221呈2行10列分布,即每行分布有10个第一凹槽221,每列分布有2个第一凹槽221。
如图5和图6所示,第一凹槽221在显示面板221的正投影形状为矩形,且第一凹槽221沿行方向上的长度L1为5mm至30mm,第一凹槽221沿列方向上的宽度D1为1mm至3mm。此时,保护层22上的第一凹槽221为方孔,且第一凹槽221的长度L1为5mm至30mm,如第一凹槽221的长度L1为10mm、20mm等,第一凹槽221的宽度D1为1mm至3mm,如第一凹槽221的宽度D1为1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm等。
如图7和图8所示,第一凹槽221在显示面板221的正投影形状为圆形,且第一凹槽221的直径为1mm至3mm。此时,保护层22上的第一凹槽221为圆孔,且该第一凹槽221的直径为1mm至3mm,如第一凹槽221的直径为1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm等。
此外,保护层22的材料可以为PI(Polyimide,聚酰亚胺)、PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)、PE(Polyethylene,聚乙烯)、TPU(Thermoplastic polyurethanes,热塑性聚氨酯弹性体橡胶)中的任意一种或多种,保护层22的弹性模量为2Gpa至7Gpa;支撑层23的材料为SUS(不锈钢)、铜合金、铝合金、钛合金等金属及金属合金,且在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,支撑层23的厚度为30μm至200μ m。
需要说明的是,第一凹槽221在显示面板21上的正投影形状与第二凹槽在显示面板21上的正投影形状可以相同,也可以不同;而针对第一粘接层24,其可以仅位于第一凹槽221和第二凹槽内,当然,除了在第一凹槽221和第二凹槽内设置有第一粘接层24之外,第一粘接层24还可以位于支撑层23远离保护层22的一侧。
上述仅针对位于曲面区域A2处的显示面板21、保护层22、支撑层23和第一粘接层24的结构及其关系,下面介绍平面区域B2处的膜层结构。
具体的,支撑层23在显示面板21上的正投影还位于平面区域B2,也就是说,支撑层23在显示面板21上的正投影既位于曲面区域A2处,又位于平面区域B2处。
而在平面区域B2处,在显示面板21与保护层22之间设置有第四粘接层(图2至图4中未示出),在保护层22与支撑层23之间设置有第五粘接层(图2至图4中未示出),通过第四粘接层将位于平面区域B2处的显示面板21与位于平面区域B2处的保护层22粘接在一起,通过第五粘接层将位于平面区域B2处的保护层22与位于平面区域B2处的支撑层23粘接在一起。
在本申请实施例中,显示面板21包括显示区,显示区至少包括平面区域B2。在第一种可选的实施方式中,显示区与平面区域B2完全重合;在第二种可选的实施方式中,显示区包括平面区域B2和部分的曲面区域A2;在第三种可选的实施方式中,显示区包括平面区域B2和全部的曲面区域A2。
在实际产品中,显示区指的是显示面板21的画面显示区域,其可以仅在平面区域B2处进行显示,而曲面区域A2处不进行显示,此时,显示区与平面区域B2完全重合,即显示区仅包括平面区域B2;或者,也可以在平面区域B2和部分的曲面区域A2处进行显示,而另一部分的曲面区域A2处不进行显示,此时,显示区包括平面区域B2和部分的曲面区域A2;或者,也可以在平面区域B2和全部的曲面区域A2处均进行显示,此时,显示区包括平面区域B2和全部的曲面区域A2。
需要说明的是,针对显示区与平面区域B2和曲面区域A2之间的位置 关系,根据实际产品进行确定,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
在本申请实施例中,平面区域B2包括相对设置的两个第一侧边以及相对设置的两个第二侧边,第一侧边和第二侧边之间的夹角不为0。曲面区域A2位于任意一个第一侧边或任意一个第二侧边所在的一侧;或者,曲面区域A2位于两个第一侧边或两个第二侧边所在的一侧;或者,曲面区域A2位于两个第一侧边和两个第二侧边所在的一侧。
具体的,平面区域B2的形状为四边形,其包括相对设置的两个第一侧边以及相对设置的两个第二侧边,两个第一侧边相互平行,两个第二侧边相互平行,且第一侧边和第二侧边之间的夹角不为0,例如,第一侧边和第二侧边之间的夹角为90°,即此时平面区域B2的形状为矩形。
在不同的显示装置中,曲面区域A2的位置有所不同,曲面区域A2可以位于平面区域B2的一侧或多侧,曲面区域A2的位置根据显示装置的具体类型来确定。
在一可选的实施方式中,曲面区域A2位于任意一个第一侧边或任意一个第二侧边所在的一侧,此时,仅在平面区域B2的一侧设置有曲面区域A2。例如,针对只在平面区域B2的一侧设置曲面区域A2的显示装置,该显示装置为可卷曲的显示装置时,显示装置还包括卷轴,且卷轴与显示面板21连接在一起,通过卷轴来实现显示面板21的卷曲和展开,因此,显示面板21与卷轴固定的一侧的边缘位置不能设置成曲面结构,当显示面板21与卷轴固定的一侧为显示面板21第二侧的边缘位置时,曲面区域A2位于显示面板21第一侧的边缘位置,且第一侧和第二侧相对设置。
在另一可选的实施方式中,如图9所示,曲面区域A2位于两个第一侧边或两个第二侧边所在的一侧,也就是说,是在平面区域B2相对设置的两侧设置有曲面区域A2,此时,曲面区域A2的数量为2个。例如,针对在平面区域B2相对设置的两侧设置曲面区域A2的显示装置,该显示装置可以为可折叠的显示装置,可折叠的显示装置沿折叠轴进行折叠或展开,当折叠轴与两个第一侧边相互平行时,曲面区域A2位于这两个第一侧边所在的一侧,此时,在两个第二侧边所在的一侧未设置有曲面区域A2;当折叠轴与两个第二侧边相互平行时,曲面区域A2位于这两个第二侧边所在的一 侧,此时,在两个第一侧边所在的一侧未设置有曲面区域A2。
在再一可选的实施方式中,曲面区域A2位于两个第一侧边和两个第二侧边所在的一侧,也就是说,在平面区域B2的四个侧边所在的一侧均设置有曲面区域A2,此时,曲面区域A2的数量为4个。例如,针对在平面区域B2的四个侧边均设置曲面区域A2的显示装置,该显示装置可以为手表。
在本申请实施例中,显示装置还包括:依次层叠设置在显示面板21出光面上的第二粘接层、偏光片、第三粘接层和盖板,第二粘接层、偏光片、第三粘接层和盖板依次远离显示面板21设置。
也就是说,第二粘接层设置在显示面板21的出光面上,偏光片设置在第二粘接层远离显示面板21的一侧,第三粘接层设置在偏光片远离第二粘接层的一侧,盖板设置在第三粘接层远离偏光片的一侧。
其中,第二粘接层的材料为PSA(Pressure Sensitive Adhesive,压敏胶),第三粘接层的材料为OCA(Optically Clear Adhesive,光学透明粘合剂),盖板的材料可以为超薄玻璃、透明PI等材料,偏光片可以为拉伸型偏光片或Coating(涂覆)型偏光片。
如图10所示,显示面板21包括显示区211、绑定区212以及位于显示区211与绑定区212之间的弯折区213;显示装置还包括设置在绑定区212的绑定结构31,以及与绑定结构31绑定的柔性线路板32,绑定结构31和柔性线路板32位于显示面板21出光侧的相对侧,且位于绑定区212的显示面板21与支撑层23粘接。
在实际产品中,显示面板21按照各个区域的功能,将其划分为显示区211、绑定区212和弯折区213,弯折区213位于显示区211与绑定区212之间,显示区211指的是显示面板21的画面显示区域,绑定区212指的是显示面板21与绑定结构31和柔性线路板32进行绑定的区域,由于在将显示面板21与柔性线路板32通过绑定结构31绑定之后,需要将绑定结构31和柔性线路板32固定到显示面板21出光侧的相对侧,因此,需要将显示面板21进行弯折,弯折的区域就是弯折区213。
显示装置还包括设置在绑定区212的绑定结构31,以及与绑定结构31绑定的柔性线路板32,绑定结构31用于将显示面板21与柔性线路板32绑 定在一起。
在将显示面板21与柔性线路板32通过绑定结构31绑定之后,通过将弯折区213弯折,使得绑定结构31和柔性线路板32固定在显示面板21出光侧的相对侧;并且,在弯折区213弯折之后,将位于绑定区212的显示面板21与支撑层23粘接。
其中,绑定结构31为COF(Chip On Film,覆晶薄膜)或COP(Chip On Pi)。若绑定结构31为COF,将COF压合贴附在显示面板21的绑定区212后,然后将COF再与柔性线路板32进行绑定;若绑定结构31为COP,由于COP是直接形成在显示面板21的绑定区212上的,因此,只需将COP与柔性线路板32进行绑定即可。
需要说明的是,针对可卷曲的显示装置,只在平面区域B2的一侧设置曲面区域A2,且曲面区域A2是位于显示区211靠近绑定区212一侧的;针对可折叠的显示装置,是在平面区域B2相对设置的两侧设置曲面区域A2,而弯折区213和绑定区212可设置在任意一个曲面区域A2所在的一侧。
需要说明的是,沿图10所示的截面C-C’得到的剖视图,为图2至图4所示的剖视图。
在实际应用中,显示装置可以为电子纸、手机、平板电脑、显示器、笔记本电脑、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件,且该产品或部件还具有折叠功能或者卷曲功能。
在本申请实施例中,通过在位于曲面区域处的支撑层上设置贯穿的第二凹槽,并在对应区域处的保护层上设置第一凹槽,第一凹槽和第二凹槽相互连通,因此,在第一凹槽和第二凹槽内设置第一粘接层时,第一粘接层与保护层和支撑层的粘合力增强,使得形成有保护层的显示面板可以与具有曲面结构的支撑层稳定、牢固地贴合在一起,避免保护层与支撑层分离,从而保证了后续的显示装置的整机组装工序正常进行,且提高了产品的信赖性。
参照图11,示出了本申请实施例的一种显示装置的制作方法的流程图,具体可以包括如下步骤:
步骤1101,提供一显示面板;所述显示面板包括平面区域以及位于所 述平面区域至少一侧的曲面区域。
在本申请实施例中,首先,在性衬底上形成像素驱动电路,然后在像素驱动电路远离柔性衬底的一侧形成发光器件层,接着形成覆盖发光器件层的封装层,最后在封装层远离发光器件层的一侧形成触控功能层,以得到显示面板21。
其中,显示面板21包括平面区域B2以及位于平面区域B2至少一侧的曲面区域A2。具体的,可以在平面区域B2的一侧设置曲面区域A2,也可以在平面区域B2相对设置的两侧设置曲面区域A2,还可以在平面区域B2的四个侧边均设置曲面区域A2。
步骤1102,在远离所述显示面板出光面的一侧形成保护层;在垂直于所述显示面板出光面的方向上,所述保护层具有至少一个第一凹槽。
在本申请实施例中,如图12和图13所示,在制作得到显示面板21之后,在远离显示面板21出光面的一侧形成保护层22,保护层22在显示面板21上的正投影位于显示面板21的平面区域B2和曲面区域A2;并且,在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,该保护层22具有至少一个第一凹槽221,每个第一凹槽221可以贯穿保护层22,也可以不贯穿保护层22。
步骤1103,在所述保护层远离所述显示面板的一侧形成支撑层;所述支撑层在所述显示面板上的正投影至少位于所述曲面区域,在垂直于所述显示面板出光面的方向上,所述支撑层具有贯穿的第二凹槽。
在本申请实施例中,如图12和图13所示,在远离显示面板21出光面的一侧形成保护层22之后,可在保护层22远离显示面板21的一侧形成支撑层23,该支撑层23在显示面板21上的正投影至少位于显示面板21的曲面区域A2处。
该支撑层23预先采用冲压工艺将边缘制作成曲面结构,使得支撑层23包括平面结构和曲面结构,并且,在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,支撑层23也具有贯穿的第二凹槽231。其中,第一凹槽221在显示面板21上的正投影与第二凹槽231在显示面板21上的正投影存在重合区域,且第二凹槽231在显示面板21上的正投影位于曲面区域A2;第二凹槽231的数量可以为一个或多个。
具体的,在垂直于显示面板21出光面的方向上,第二凹槽231包括至少两个依次连通的子凹槽2311,且针对任意相邻的两个子凹槽2311,靠近显示面板21的子凹槽2311在显示面板21的正投影位于远离显示面板21的子凹槽2311在显示面板21的正投影内。
如图12所示,最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽2311在显示面板21上的正投影,覆盖第一凹槽221在显示面板21上的正投影;如图13所示,最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽2311在显示面板21上的正投影,位于第一凹槽221在显示面板21上的正投影内,且第二凹槽231中除最靠近显示面板21的子凹槽2311外的其他子凹槽2311在显示面板21上的正投影,均覆盖第一凹槽221在显示面板21上的正投影。
需要说明的是,在远离显示面板21出光面的一侧形成保护层22之后,可先在显示面板21的绑定区212,通过绑定结构31将显示面板21与柔性线路板32绑定在一起;然后,在显示面板21的出光面上依次形成第二粘接层、偏光片、第三粘接层和盖板,接着再在保护层22远离显示面板21的一侧形成支撑层23。
步骤1104,在所述第一凹槽和所述第二凹槽内形成第一粘接层。
在本申请实施例中,在保护层22远离显示面板21的一侧形成支撑层23之后,在第一凹槽221和第二凹槽231内形成第一粘接层24,以得到如图2至图4所示的结构。具体的,可采用喷涂或点胶等工艺在第一凹槽221和第二凹槽231内形成第一粘接层24。
此外,还需要对第一粘接层24进行固化处理,以强化带有保护层22的显示面板21与支撑层23之间的粘接效果。该第一粘接层24的材料可以为紫外固化型胶或热固化型胶,当第一粘接层24的材料为紫外固化型胶,可采用UV(Ultraviolet Rays,紫外光)照射第一粘接层24以实现固化处理,当第一粘接层24的材料为热固化型胶时,可采用加热处理以使第一粘接层24固化。
需要说明的是,在第一凹槽221和第二凹槽231内形成第一粘接层24之后,需要将弯折区213弯折,使得绑定结构31和柔性线路板32固定在远离显示面板21出光面的一侧。
在本申请实施例中,通过在位于曲面区域处的支撑层上设置贯穿的第二凹槽,并在对应区域处的保护层上设置第一凹槽,第一凹槽和第二凹槽相互连通,因此,在第一凹槽和第二凹槽内设置第一粘接层时,第一粘接层与保护层和支撑层的粘合力增强,使得形成有保护层的显示面板可以与具有曲面结构的支撑层稳定、牢固地贴合在一起,避免保护层与支撑层分离,从而保证了后续的显示装置的整机组装工序正常进行,且提高了产品的信赖性。
