In the display device provided in this embodiment, the bending portion 001 includes a plurality of first signal lines I; the bending sensor 004 includes a first electrode 004a, and the orthographic projection of the first signal line I to the surface of the first electrode 004a is located in the area of the first electrode 004 a.

Specifically, the chip may transmit an electrical signal to the data line D through the first signal line I, or the flexible circuit board may transmit an electrical signal to the data line D through the first signal line I. In this embodiment, the connection line of the multiplexing data line D is used as the first signal line I, and the coupling capacitors between the first signal lines I and the first electrodes 004a are obtained to sense the relative position relationship between the bending portion 001 and the bending support portion 006, so that it is not necessary to provide an additional structure at the bending portion 001 for assisting the work of the bending sensor 004, thereby simplifying the structure of the display panel, reducing the cost of the display panel, and improving the manufacturing efficiency of the display panel.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, in the display device provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the bending sensor 004 is a position sensor.
In the display device provided in this embodiment, the position sensor disposed in the bending support portion 003 can acquire the position information of the bending support portion 003 and the bending portion 001, and then adjust the position of the attached display panel of the bending support portion 003 through the bending device, and when the coupling capacitance generated between the bending portion 001 and the bending sensor 004 is large, the attachment position of the bending support portion 003 needs to be adjusted to the side close to the display panel, that is, the distance between the bending portion 001 and the bending support portion is increased; when the generated coupling capacitance is small, the attachment position of the bending support 004 needs to be adjusted to a side away from the display panel, that is, the distance between the bending portion 001 and the bending support 006 needs to be reduced. Therefore, the bending part 001 can be bent to a preset position, and the reliability of the display device is improved.

The position sensor provided in this embodiment is a pressure sensor f10, and a pressure sensor f10 provided in the display device determines the degree of bending by sensing the pressure at the time of bending at the bending portion 001. For example, when the bending portion 001 is bent a long distance away from the bending support portion 004, the bending sensor 004 senses less pressure; when the bending portion 001 is tightly attached to the bending support portion 003 after being bent, the pressure applied to the bending sensor 004 is large. Pressure sensor gives the equipment of buckling with signal transmission, and the laminating display panel position of rethread equipment of buckling adjustment support portion 003 to make kink 001 buckle to preset the position, improve display device's reliability. Optionally, the bent supporting portion 003 includes a first contact surface S3 and two opposite side surfaces S. Optionally, a pad is disposed on either or both of the two sides S, and the pad is electrically connected to the pressure sensor f10 and can transmit an electrical signal to the pressure sensor f 10.
Optionally, the pressure sensor f10 is a silicon chip. The change of the pressure can enable carriers in the silicon wafer to migrate, the migration of the carriers can generate corresponding current, the current and the pressure are linearly related, and the pressure sensed by the silicon wafer can be obtained by detecting the change of the current. The silicon chip is used as a pressure sensor, so that the structure is simple; in addition, silicon is a commonly used material in the display panel, and the manufacturing process is mature, so that the process difficulty of manufacturing the pressure sensor can be reduced.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 9, fig. 10, fig. 9 is a side view of another bending support portion provided in the embodiments of the present invention; fig. 10 is a front view of another bending support part provided in the embodiment of the present invention. The position sensor provided in this embodiment is a light sensor including an emitter E and a receiver R.
The present embodiment provides a display device in which the transmitter E and the receiver R may slightly protrude from the first contact surface S3, the transmitter E being disposed on one side surface S, and the receiver R being disposed on the other side surface S. The light emitted by the emitter E propagates along the very close distance to the first contact surface S3, and when the receiver R can sense the light signal of the emitter E, the bent part 001 does not cover the first contact surface S3; when the bent portion 001 covers the first contact surface S3, the optical signal emitted by the emitter E is blocked, and the receiver R does not receive the optical signal. The light sensor senses the sent light signal, and then the bending equipment receives the sensing signal in the light sensor, so that the bending state of the bending part 001 in the display device is adjusted, the bending part can be bent to a preset position, and the reliability of the display device is improved.
In some alternative embodiments, please continue to refer to fig. 11, where fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of a display device in a planar state according to another embodiment of the present invention. The display panel 00 includes a test bending part 006 located in the non-display area BB, and the test bending part 006 and the bending part 001 are arranged in parallel; the test bend 006 includes a bend sensor 004; the bend sensor 004 comprises at least one test track T.

The test bending part 006 includes a bending sensor 004, and the bending sensor 004 has at least one test trace T. The test routing line T has a fixed resistance before bending, and the resistance of the test routing line T before bending and after bending of the test bending part 006 can be detected through the bending device. When the resistance in the test trace T is detected to be too large, that is, the substrate at the bent position of the test bending part 006 is broken due to the excessive bending of the test bending part 006; when the resistance in the test trace T is too small, the test bending part 006 is not bent sufficiently to reach the preset position; when the resistance in the test trace T is not detected, that is, the test bend 006 is bent too much to break at the bend of the test bend 006. The bending equipment judges the bending degree and the bending state of the bending part 001 by detecting the resistance in the test wiring T, so that the attaching accuracy of the bending supporting part 003 on the display panel is adjusted. When the resistance in the test trace T is relatively small, the bending equipment adjusts the bending supporting part 003 towards the direction far away from the display panel; when the resistance in the test wiring is too large or cannot be detected, the bending equipment adjusts the position of the bending supporting part 003 towards the direction close to the display panel.
Specifically, referring to fig. 12 and 13, fig. 12 is a schematic structural diagram of a test bent portion in a bent state in the display device shown in fig. 11, and fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a bent portion in a bent state in the display device shown in fig. 11.

For example, when the resistance in the test trace T is too small, the test bend 006 is not bent sufficiently to reach the predetermined position. Referring to fig. 13, the position of the bending supporting portion 003 is adjusted to adjust the bending position of the bending portion 001, so that the bending portion 001 is bent to a predetermined position and the reliability of the display device is improved.
