As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the display area shape of the display panel is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present invention on the basis of satisfying the flexible display panel.
In this embodiment, the display area 10 includes a bending area 12 and a non-bending area 13, the bending area 12 has a bending axis YZ, the bending axis YZ of the selectable display area 10 is parallel to a short side direction of the display area 10, the selectable bending area 12 is located in the middle of the display area 10, the non-bending areas 13 are respectively located on two sides of the bending area 12, and the display panel realizes flexible bending with the bending axis YZ as an axis.

Illustratively, based on the above technical solution, as shown in fig. 2, the selectable bending area 12 includes a bending axis YZ, and a plurality of supporting columns 22 are arranged in a plurality of rows, a row direction of any row of supporting columns 22 is parallel to the bending axis YZ, and first surfaces of a row of supporting columns 22 are flush. In this embodiment, the supporting pillars 22 are arranged in multiple rows, and the row direction is parallel to the bending axis YZ, and the first surfaces of the supporting pillars 22 are flush, so that the heights of the supporting pillars 22 are the same, and the compressive stress of the corresponding bent supporting pillars 22 on the packaging film is uniform. In this embodiment, the height of the supporting column 22 of the bending region 12 is reduced, so that the compressive stress of the supporting column 22 on the packaging film is reduced, the supporting column 22 is prevented from damaging the packaging film, the packaging effect and the display effect are improved, and the poor bending is improved.
As shown in fig. 3, the selectable bending region 12 includes a first supporting column row 121 and a second supporting column row 122, the second supporting column row 122 is disposed adjacent to a bending axis YZ, the first supporting column row 121 is disposed adjacent to a first edge of the bending region 12, the first edge of the bending region 12 is disposed parallel to the bending axis YZ, and Hz1 is ≦ 2Hz2, where Hz1 is a vertical distance from a first surface of the first supporting column row 121 to a first surface of the pixel defining structure 21, Hz2 is a vertical distance from the first surface of the second supporting column row 122 to the first surface of the pixel defining structure 21, and the first surface of the pixel defining structure 21 is a side surface of the pixel defining structure 21 away from the supporting columns 22.

If Hz1 is greater than 2Hz2, the supporting pillars in the vicinity of the bending axes YZ after bending may be too high due to the supporting effect of the supporting pillars, and the packaging film layer may be squeezed, which may affect the reliability of the display panel and cause uneven display. Therefore, the Hz1 is set to be less than or equal to 2Hz2, so that the organic light-emitting layer is prevented from being scratched, the phenomenon that the packaging film layer is damaged due to the fact that the supporting columns in the bending area are too high when the display panel is bent can be avoided, the packaging effect and the display effect are improved, and the problem of poor bending is solved.
The alternative bending region 12 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7 comprises a bending axis YZ, the bending region 12 comprises a first support column 22a and a second support column 22b, the second support column 22b is located between the first support column 22a and the bending axis YZ, H1 ≧ H2, wherein H1 is the perpendicular distance from the first surface of the first support column 22a to the first surface of the pixel defining structure 21, H2 is the perpendicular distance from the first surface of the second support column 22b to the first surface of the pixel defining structure 21, and the first surface of the pixel defining structure 21 is the side surface of the pixel defining structure 21 away from the support columns 22. In the present embodiment, for any two support columns 22 in the bending region 12 that are different in vertical distance from the bending axis YZ, one of the support columns that is far from the bending axis YZ is defined as a first support column 22a, and one of the support columns that is near the bending axis YZ is defined as a second support column 22b, and then the second support column 22b is located between the first support column 22a and the bending axis YZ.
As shown in fig. 3, H1 of the first support column 22a far from the bending axis YZ is greater than H2 of the second support column 22b near the bending axis YZ, or as shown in fig. 7, H1 of the first support column 22a far from the bending axis YZ is equal to H2 of the second support column 22b near the bending axis YZ, and in the direction of the non-bending region 13 toward the bending region 12, the first surfaces of the plurality of support columns 22 at one side of the bending region 12 are not completely flush and are arranged in a trend from high to low, so that the display panel is bent in the bending region 12, the display panel is protected, the compressive stress of the support columns on the packaging film is reduced, the packaging film is prevented from being damaged by the support columns, the packaging effect and the display effect are improved, and the poor bending phenomenon of the display panel is improved.
The rows of the first support columns 22a and the rows of the second support columns 22b may be arranged adjacent to each other as shown in fig. 3 and 7. In the bending region 12, the first surfaces of at least two adjacent rows of the supporting posts on the same side of the bending axis YZ are not flush, i.e., H1 of the first supporting post 22a far away from the bending axis YZ is larger than H2 of the second supporting post 22b near the bending axis YZ, so that the supporting posts are arranged from high to low. In other embodiments, however, there may be instances where the first surfaces of two adjacent rows of support posts located on the same side of the bending axis YZ are flush in the selectable bending region 12. It should be noted that on the basis of ensuring that the support columns in the bending region on the same side of the bending axis YZ are arranged according to the trend from high to low, the height and other parameters of the support columns can be reasonably set according to the product requirements.
The vertical distance between the first surface of the first support column 22a and the first surface of the second support column 22b may be selected to be a first predetermined distance M as shown in fig. 3. Given that the row where the first supporting column 22a is located and the row where the second supporting column 22b is located are arranged in adjacent rows, the distance between the first surfaces of any two adjacent rows of supporting columns in the bending region 12, which are located on the same side of the bending axis YZ, is the same, that is, the equal distance changes from high to low, so that the display panel is convenient to bend in the bending region 12, the display panel is protected, the defects when the display panel is pressed are reduced, the problem that the stress of the bending region caused by the high supporting columns is too large is also solved, the bending effect of the bending region is improved, and the display effect is further improved.
As shown in fig. 3, the thicknesses of the pixel defining structures 21 corresponding to the supporting columns 22 in the alternative display panel are the same, and the thickness of the first supporting column 22a is greater than that of the second supporting column 22 b. In this embodiment, the thicknesses of the pixel defining structures 21 corresponding to the supporting pillars 22 are the same, and the adjustment of the first surfaces of any row of the supporting pillars 22 located on the same side of the bending axis YZ in the bending region 12 is realized by adjusting the thicknesses of the supporting pillars 22, so that H1 is greater than or equal to H2. In an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the supporting pillar is specifically a vertical distance from a first surface of the supporting pillar to a side surface of the supporting pillar facing the pixel defining structure, and the thickness of the pixel defining structure is specifically a vertical distance from a side surface of the pixel defining structure facing the supporting pillar to the first surface of the pixel defining structure.
As shown in fig. 8, the support columns 22 in the alternative display panel have the same thickness, and the thickness of the pixel defining structure 21 corresponding to the first support column 22a is greater than the thickness of the pixel defining structure 21 corresponding to the second support column 22 b. In this embodiment, the thicknesses of the supporting pillars 22 are the same, and the adjustment of the first surfaces of any row of supporting pillars 22 located on the same side of the bending axis YZ in the bending region 12 is implemented by adjusting the thicknesses of the pixel defining structures 21 corresponding to the supporting pillars 22, so that H1 is greater than or equal to H2.
Optionally, the thickness of the first supporting column is greater than that of the second supporting column, and the thickness of the pixel defining structure corresponding to the first supporting column is greater than that of the pixel defining structure corresponding to the second supporting column. In this embodiment, the thickness of the supporting columns and the pixel defining structures corresponding to the supporting columns are adjusted to adjust the first surfaces of any row of supporting columns located on the same side of the bending axis in the bending region, so that H1 is greater than or equal to H2.
As shown in fig. 9, at least two rows of support posts 22 located on either side of the bending axis YZ in the selectable bending area 12 have a high arrangement density of the rows of support posts 22 away from the bending axis YZ and a low arrangement density of the rows of support posts 22 near the bending axis YZ. The higher the arrangement density of the support columns is, the better the support effect is, the lower the arrangement density of the support columns is, and the smaller the compressive stress is. In this embodiment, the row of support pillars 22 far away from the bending axis YZ has a high arrangement density, and can play a role of effective mask support to support a mask used in the process of evaporating an organic light emitting layer, thereby avoiding the problem that the mask scratches the organic light emitting layer and affects the display effect. Therefore, the support columns in the bending areas can protect the display panel, reduce the defects of the display panel when the display panel is pressed, improve the bending effect of the bending areas, and improve the supporting effect and the packaging effect of the bending areas through the support columns with different arrangement densities.
As shown in fig. 10, the arrangement density of the support pillars 22 in the optional non-bending region 13 is high, and the arrangement density of the support pillars 22 in the bending region 12 is low. In this embodiment, the higher the arrangement density of the support columns is, the better the support effect is, the support columns 22 of the non-bending regions 13 mainly play a role in supporting masks, so that the support columns 22 of the non-bending regions 13 have high density, and can effectively play a role in supporting masks, thereby preventing the organic light emitting layers of the non-bending regions 13 from being scratched by masks, and improving the display effect.
As shown in fig. 11, the plurality of pixel defining structures 21 may define a plurality of sub-pixels 23, the plurality of sub-pixels 23 include a plurality of red sub-pixels R, a plurality of green sub-pixels G, and a plurality of blue sub-pixels B, and in the bending region 12, a minimum distance between a supporting pillar 22 and an adjacent red sub-pixel R is smaller than a minimum distance between the supporting pillar 22 and an adjacent green sub-pixel G. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the color of the sub-pixel includes, but is not limited to R, G, B, and in other embodiments the color of the sub-pixel may alternatively include RGBW or RGBY. And (4) selecting.
Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a local bending region 12, where a supporting pillar 22 is adjacent to at least one sub-pixel 23, a vertical distance between the supporting pillar 22 and each adjacent sub-pixel 23 is calculated, and a minimum vertical distance of the at least one vertical distance is defined as a minimum distance between the supporting pillar 22 and the adjacent sub-pixel 23. Specifically, taking a supporting pillar 22 as an example, it is calculated that the vertical distance between the supporting pillar 22 and the adjacent red sub-pixel R is K1, the vertical distance between the supporting pillar 22 and the adjacent green sub-pixel G is K2, the vertical distance between the supporting pillar 22 and the adjacent blue sub-pixel B is K3, K1 < K2 < K3, and then the minimum distance between the supporting pillar 22 and the adjacent sub-pixel 23 is K1.
In this embodiment, the minimum distance between the supporting pillar 22 and the adjacent red sub-pixel R in the bending region 12 is smaller than the minimum distance between the supporting pillar 22 and the adjacent green sub-pixel G, and the light emitting effect of the sub-pixels is not affected. When the display panel is bent, the inner film layer of the bending area is extruded and the outer film layer is stretched. Specifically, when the display panel is bent inward, the support pillars of the bending region are located at the inner side and may displace under extrusion, which may affect the luminance of the adjacent sub-pixels; or, when the display panel is bent outward, the support posts of the bending region are located at the outer side and may be displaced under stretching, which may affect the light emitting brightness of the adjacent sub-pixels. The luminance of the red sub-pixel R is usually lower than the luminance of the green sub-pixel G, so the influence of the displacement of the supporting column 22 on the luminance of the red sub-pixel R is smaller than the influence on the luminance of the green sub-pixel G, and in this embodiment, the minimum distance between the supporting column 22 and the adjacent red sub-pixel R in the bending region 12 is set to be smaller than the minimum distance between the supporting column 22 and the adjacent green sub-pixel G, so that the influence of the displacement of the supporting column on the luminance of the sub-pixel can be reduced, and further, the influence of the displacement of the supporting column on the display can be reduced.
The film layer in the non-bending area is not extruded or stretched, so that the support columns in the non-bending area cannot generate displacement to influence the light emitting brightness of adjacent sub-pixels. As can be understood by those skilled in the art, the minimum distance between the supporting column and the adjacent sub-pixel can be reasonably set on the basis of ensuring the mask supporting effect of the supporting column in the non-bending area.
In other embodiments, the minimum distance between the support pillar and the adjacent blue sub-pixel in the bending region is smaller than the minimum distance between the support pillar and the adjacent red sub-pixel, and/or the minimum distance between the support pillar and the adjacent blue sub-pixel in the bending region is smaller than the minimum distance between the support pillar and the adjacent green sub-pixel.
