Description

可撓式裝置 Flexible device

本發明是有關於一種可撓式裝置。 The invention relates to a flexible device.

隨著顯示科技的發展,顯示面板應用範圍日益廣泛。舉例而言,在早期,顯示面板多用做電子裝置(例如:電視、電腦、手機等)的螢幕,而應用在電子裝置上的顯示面板多為硬質顯示面板;在近期,則有人將顯示面板應用在穿戴裝置(例如:手錶、衣服等),而應用在穿戴裝置上的顯示面板多為可撓式顯示面板。 With the development of display technology, the application range of display panels has become increasingly widespread. For example, in the early days, display panels were mostly used as screens for electronic devices (such as TVs, computers, mobile phones, etc.), while display panels used on electronic devices were mostly rigid display panels; in the recent past, some people have used display panels In wearable devices (for example, watches, clothes, etc.), the display panels applied to wearable devices are mostly flexible display panels.

可撓式顯示面板需具備相當的可彎曲程度。換言之,當可撓式顯示面板彎曲時,可撓基板上的構件(例如:周邊走線等)需隨之彎曲並維持正常功能。然而,當可撓式顯示面板彎曲時,應力會集中在彎折中心線,造成周邊走線非常容易在彎折中心線上斷裂,影響可撓式顯示面板的良率及信賴性。 The flexible display panel needs to have a considerable degree of flexibility. In other words, when the flexible display panel is bent, the components on the flexible substrate (such as peripheral wiring, etc.) need to be bent accordingly and maintain normal functions. However, when the flexible display panel is bent, the stress will be concentrated on the bending center line, causing the peripheral wiring to easily break on the bending center line, which affects the yield and reliability of the flexible display panel.

For example, in this embodiment, the active device T includes a thin film transistor. The thin film transistor has a gate 140, a semiconductor pattern 120, a gate insulating layer 130, a source 151, and a drain 152. The gate insulating layer 130 is disposed on the gate. pole Between 140 and the semiconductor pattern 120, the source electrode 151 and the drain electrode 152 are respectively electrically connected to two regions of the semiconductor pattern 120, and the pixel electrode 160 is electrically connected to the drain electrode 152 of the thin film transistor.

畫素陣列基板100還包括周邊走線153,電性連接至畫素結構PX,且由顯示區111延伸至第一連接區112、可彎折區113及第二連接區114。周邊走線153也可稱扇出走線(fan-out trace)。在本實施例中,周邊走線153可使用金屬材料、合金、金屬材料的氮化物、金屬材料的氧化物、金屬材料的氮氧化物、其它導電材料、或上述至少二者的堆疊層。 The pixel array substrate 100 further includes a peripheral wiring 153 electrically connected to the pixel structure PX and extending from the display area 111 to the first connection area 112, the bendable area 113 and the second connection area 114. The peripheral trace 153 can also be called a fan-out trace. In this embodiment, the peripheral wiring 153 may use metallic materials, alloys, nitrides of metallic materials, oxides of metallic materials, oxynitrides of metallic materials, other conductive materials, or stacked layers of at least two of the foregoing.

請參照圖1、圖2、圖3及圖4,可撓式裝置10還包括已固化的膠材200,設置於畫素陣列基板100的可彎折區113,且未設置於第一連接區112和第二連接區114,其中參考軸X設置於可彎折區113,可撓基底110適於沿參考軸X彎折,且膠材200的厚度H由參考軸X向參考軸X之相對的第一側S1及第二側S2減少。也就是說,膠材200在參考軸X上具有最大的厚度H;越靠近第一連接區112和第二連接區114,膠材200的厚度H越薄。 Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the flexible device 10 further includes a cured adhesive material 200, which is disposed in the bendable area 113 of the pixel array substrate 100, and is not disposed in the first connection area 112 and the second connecting area 114, where the reference axis X is arranged in the bendable area 113, the flexible substrate 110 is adapted to bend along the reference axis X, and the thickness H of the adhesive material 200 is relative to the reference axis X from the reference axis X to the reference axis X The first side S1 and the second side S2 are reduced. In other words, the adhesive material 200 has the largest thickness H on the reference axis X; the closer to the first connection area 112 and the second connection area 114, the thinner the thickness H of the adhesive material 200 is.

值得一提的是,透過在可彎折區113的彎折中心線(即參考軸X)上設置膠材200,且令膠材200的厚度H自彎折中心線上向彎折中心線的兩側減少,可使彎折之部份畫素陣列基板100的表面170b近似於圓柱體的部分表面。藉此,周邊走線153於對應彎折中心線(即參考軸X)所在處受到的應力會減少,而不易斷裂(crack)。 It is worth mentioning that by arranging the rubber 200 on the bending center line (ie, the reference axis X) of the bendable area 113, and making the thickness H of the rubber 200 from the bending center line to the two sides of the bending center line The side reduction can make the surface 170b of the bent portion of the pixel array substrate 100 approximate to a portion of the surface of a cylinder. In this way, the stress on the peripheral wire 153 at the corresponding bending center line (ie, the reference axis X) is reduced, and it is not easy to crack.

第一比較例的可撓式裝置(未繪示)與本實施例的可撓式裝置10類似,第一比較例的可撓式裝置與本實施例的可撓式裝置10的差異僅在於,第一比較例的可撓式裝置不包括本實施例之可撓式裝置10的膠材200。 The flexible device (not shown) of the first comparative example is similar to the flexible device 10 of this embodiment. The only difference between the flexible device of the first comparative example and the flexible device 10 of this embodiment is: The flexible device of the first comparative example does not include the glue 200 of the flexible device 10 of this embodiment.

第二比較例的可撓式裝置(未繪示)與本實施例的可撓式裝置10類似。第二比較例的可撓式裝置也具有膠材,設置於可彎折區而未設置於第一連接區及第二連接區。第二比較例的可撓式裝置與本實施例的可撓式裝置10的差異僅在於,第二比較例之可撓式裝置的膠材之整體的厚度一致。 The flexible device (not shown) of the second comparative example is similar to the flexible device 10 of this embodiment. The flexible device of the second comparative example also has a glue material, which is arranged in the bendable area but not in the first connection area and the second connection area. The only difference between the flexible device of the second comparative example and the flexible device 10 of this embodiment is that the overall thickness of the rubber material of the flexible device of the second comparative example is the same.

根據一模擬結果,第一比較例的可撓式裝置的周邊走線於彎折中心線所在處受到應力為288MPa,第二比較例的可撓式裝置的周邊走線於彎折中心線所在處所到的應力為286MPa,本實施例的可撓式裝置的周邊走線於彎折中心線所在處受到的應力為260MPa。相較於第一比較例,第二比較例之周邊走線於彎折中心線所在處受到的應力僅降低0.7%,但本實施例之周邊走線153於彎折中心線所在處受到的應力顯著得降低10%。 According to a simulation result, the peripheral traces of the flexible device of the first comparative example are subjected to a stress of 288 MPa at the bending center line, and the peripheral traces of the flexible device of the second comparative example are located at the bending center line. The obtained stress is 286 MPa, and the stress on the peripheral trace of the flexible device of this embodiment at the bending center line is 260 MPa. Compared with the first comparative example, the stress on the peripheral traces of the second comparative example at the bending centerline is only reduced by 0.7%, but the stress on the peripheral traces 153 of this embodiment at the bending centerline is only reduced by 0.7% Significantly reduced by 10%.

由此可證,透過在可彎折區113的彎折中心線(即參考軸X)上設置膠材200,且令膠材200的厚度H自彎折中心線上向彎折中心線的兩側減少,可使周邊走線153於彎折中心線所在處受到的應力減小,不易斷裂(crack),從而提升可撓式裝置10的良率及其信賴性。 It can be proved that by setting the rubber 200 on the bending centerline of the bendable area 113 (ie, the reference axis X), and making the thickness H of the rubber 200 from the bending centerline to both sides of the bending centerline The reduction can reduce the stress on the peripheral wire 153 at the bending center line, and it is not easy to be cracked, thereby improving the yield and reliability of the flexible device 10.

在本實施例中,膠材200的硬度高,且膠材200的選用 以具有高楊氏模數為佳。舉例而言,在本實施例中,膠材200的楊氏模數(Young's modulus)可介於0.5GPa~2.5GPa,例如但不限於1.75GPa。下表一示出本發明一實施例之膠材200的各種最大的厚度H與其周邊走線153於參考軸X所在處受到的應力。請參照下表一,膠材200之最大的厚度H增為100μm時,周邊走線153於參考軸X所在處受到的應力會明顯上升為361MPa。因此,在本實施例中,膠材200之最大的厚度H以大於或等於10μm且小於100μm為佳。然而,本發明不以此為限,膠材200之最大的厚度H的適當範圍與膠材200本身的楊氏模數相關,本發明並不加以限定。 In this embodiment, the hardness of the rubber material 200 is high, and the selection of the rubber material 200 It is better to have a high Young's modulus. For example, in this embodiment, the Young's modulus of the adhesive material 200 may be between 0.5 GPa and 2.5 GPa, such as but not limited to 1.75 GPa. The following Table 1 shows the maximum thickness H of the adhesive material 200 and the stress on the reference axis X of the surrounding wiring 153 of an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Table 1 below. When the maximum thickness H of the adhesive material 200 is increased to 100 μm, the stress on the peripheral trace 153 at the reference axis X will significantly increase to 361 MPa. Therefore, in this embodiment, the maximum thickness H of the adhesive material 200 is preferably greater than or equal to 10 μm and less than 100 μm. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the appropriate range of the maximum thickness H of the adhesive material 200 is related to the Young's modulus of the adhesive material 200 itself, and the present invention is not limited.
