Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the display device further includes a complete machine base 22, the complete machine base 22 is used as the pre-tightening substrate 2, the complete machine base 22 has an adhesive surface 223, and the flexible display panel 1 is adhered to the adhesive surface 223 of the complete machine base 22.

Meanwhile, since the flexible display panel 1 is in a pressed state for a long time, when the flexible display panel 1 is bent, the flexible display panel 1 is also subjected to compressive stress, cracks are difficult to initiate in the state of the compressive stress, and the tip stress field of the existing cracks can be reduced, so that the cracks have a closing trend, the flexible display panel 1 is further protected, and the bending capacity of the flexible display device is further improved.
The aim and the technical problems of the invention can be further realized by adopting the following technical measures.
Specifically, fixedly attaching the flexible display panel 1 to the pre-tightening substrate 2 includes:
s11, stretching the pre-tightening substrate 2 along the first end and the second end; by stretching the pre-tension substrate 2 along the first end and the second end, the pre-tension substrate 2 is made to have a tensile deformation along the first end and the second end. Specifically, both ends of the pre-tightening substrate 2 may be tightened by the chucks 3, and then the pre-tightening substrate 2 is stretched. In this embodiment, the pre-tightening substrate 2 may be an elastic film.
S12, adhering the flexible display panel 1 to the pre-tightening substrate 2 in a stretched state. Specifically, when the chucks 3 are further fixed at the two ends of the pre-tightening substrate 2, the pre-tightening substrate 2 is bonded in the flexible display panel 1, that is, when the pre-tightening substrate 2 is still in a stretched state, the pre-tightening substrate 2 is bonded with the flexible display panel 1. After the flexible display panel 1 is adhered to the pre-tightening substrate 2, the chuck 3 is released, and the pre-tightening substrate 2 is retracted so that the whole flexible display panel 1 is pressed.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the pre-tightening substrate 2 in this embodiment may be an elastic film, where the elastic film includes a first sub-elastic layer 212 and a second sub-elastic layer 211, and the flexible display panel 1 includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and when the display panel is specifically manufactured, the following steps should be included:
wherein step S11 stretching the pre-tensioned substrate 2 along the first end and the second end comprises:
s111, as shown in fig. 4, stretching the first sub-elastic layer 212 along the first end and the second end; the first sub-elastic layer 212 is stretched from the center to both sides in the same direction as the stretching direction of the pre-tightening substrate 2, and as shown in fig. 6, the first sub-elastic layer 212 is fixed by the chuck 3 so that the first sub-elastic layer 212 is in a stretched state.
S112, as shown in fig. 8, stretching the second sub-elastic layer 211 along the first end and the second end; the stretching manner and stretching direction of the second sub-elastic layer 211 are the same as those of the first sub-elastic layer 212, and detailed description thereof is omitted herein.
Step 12 of bonding the flexible display panel 1 to the pre-tensioned substrate 2 in a tensioned state specifically includes:
s121, as shown in fig. 7, bonding the first sub-elastic layer 212 in a stretched state to the first surface; after the first sub-elastic layer 212 is attached, the chuck 3 is released, the first sub-elastic layer 212 rebounds, and the first sub-elastic layer 212 retracts to apply a first pretightening force to the flexible display panel 1, so that the flexible display panel 1 is pressed as a whole. The first pretensioning forces occur in pairs, one pointing from the first end towards the centre of the pretensioning base plate 2 and the other pointing from the second end towards the centre of the pretensioning base plate 2. The first sub-elastic layer 212 and the flexible display panel 1 are adhered and fixed by optical cement.
S122, as shown in fig. 9, the second sub-elastic layer 211 in a stretched state is bonded to the second surface. The second sub-elastic layer 211 applies a second preset force to the flexible display panel 1, which also occurs in pairs.
The first preset force and the second preset force are preferably equal in magnitude, so that the flexible display panel 1 adhered with the second sub-elastic layer 211 and the first sub-elastic layer 212 cannot warp in a natural state, can be in a flat state, and further can facilitate adhesion of the flexible display panel 1 and other components. The flexible display panel 1 includes the encapsulation film 13, the light emitting layer 12 and the back plate 11, and when the flexible display device is manufactured, as shown in fig. 6 to 9, the first sub-elastic layer 212 may be stretched, then the back plate 11 is adhered to the first sub-elastic layer 212, then the light emitting layer 12, the back plate 11 and the second sub-elastic layer 211 in a stretched state are sequentially adhered, and after the second sub-elastic layer 211 is adhered and fixed, the clip 3 is released, so that the second sub-elastic layer 211 and the first sub-elastic layer 212 are in a natural state. The pretightening force applied to the flexible display panel 1 by the second sub-elastic layer 211 and the first sub-elastic layer 212, that is, the first pretightening force and the second pretightening force, can be adjusted by adjusting the stretching degree of the second sub-elastic layer 211 and the first sub-elastic layer 212. The order of bonding the second sub-elastic layer 211 and the first sub-elastic layer 212 may be changed.
Specifically, in addition to the stretching of the pre-tightening substrate 2 and then the stretching of the flexible display panel 1 provided in the above embodiment, the pre-tightening force may be applied to the flexible display panel 1, and the pre-tightening force may also be applied to the flexible display panel 1 by the following manner, specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the step S1 of fixedly adhering the flexible display panel 1 to the pre-tightening substrate 2 includes: s1.1, bending a pre-tightening substrate 2 to form a preset angle; at this time, the pre-tightening substrate 2 may be a complete machine base 22, as shown in fig. 10, the complete machine base 22 is bent to a preset angle, the complete machine base 22 includes a first deformation region 221 and a first non-deformation region 222, the first non-deformation region 222 is located at two sides of the first deformation region 221, and is located at two ends, i.e. a first end and a second end, of the complete machine base 22. Wherein the value range of the preset angle is more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. The whole machine base 22 is provided with an adhesive surface 223, and the specific bending process is that, as shown in fig. 14, a first end and a second end of the whole machine base 22 are fixed by a gripper, a compression force pointing to the center of the whole machine base 22 is applied to the whole machine base 22 by a chuck 3, then the whole machine base 22 is placed on an arc-shaped tool 4, the arc-shaped tool 4 is in a convex shape, the arc-shaped tool 4 is positioned on one side of the whole machine base 22 away from the adhesive surface 223, the whole machine base 22 is bent by the arc-shaped tool 4, at this time, a first deformation zone 221 of the whole machine base 22 is in a compression state, and the first deformation zone 221 is subjected to the compression force pointing to the center by the first end and the second end.
S1.2, as shown in FIG. 11, bonding the flexible display panel 1 to a preset surface of the pre-tightening substrate 2, wherein the preset surface is a convex surface when the pre-tightening substrate 2 is bent; the two ends of the flexible display panel 1 are clamped by the handles, the flexible display panel 1 is moved by the movement of the handles, so that the flexible display panel 1 moves to the upper side of the preset surface of the whole machine base 22, wherein the preset surface is a convex surface of the whole machine base 22 after being bent, the convex surface is an adhesive surface 223 of the whole machine base 22, and then the flexible display panel 1 is adhered to the adhesive surface 223, and the two surfaces are adhered. The flexible display panel 1 has a second deformation region 14 and a second non-deformation region 15, the second non-deformation region 15 is located at two ends of the second deformation region 14, at this time, the second deformation region 14 is in a stretched state, and the second deformation region 14 receives a stretching force from the center to the two ends.
S1.3, as shown in fig. 12, the bonded flexible display panel 1 and the pre-tightening substrate 2 are flattened, so that the pre-tightening substrate 2 applies a pre-tightening force to the flexible display panel 1. The flexible display panel 1 and the pre-tightening substrate 2 are flattened by an external force, at this time, the first deformation area 221 of the pre-tightening substrate 2 is in a stretched state, and the second deformation area 14 is in a compressed state, so that the pre-tightening substrate 2 can apply a pre-tightening force with the second end and the first end pointing to the center of the pre-tightening substrate 2 to the flexible display panel 1, the direction indicated by the arrow B in the figure is the direction of the pre-tightening force, and the pre-tightening substrate 2 receives a stretching force applied by the flexible display panel 1 and pointing to the two ends of the pre-tightening substrate 2 from the center, and the direction indicated by the arrow C in the figure is the direction of the stretching force. However, since the flexible display panel 1 is made of a material that is hard relative to the flexible display panel 1, the display panel and the complete machine base 22 after flattening will not warp. As shown in fig. 13, when the flexible display device is bent, the flexible display panel 1 is subjected to tensile stress and initial pretightening force of bending, so that the tensile stress portion of the display panel during bending is counteracted, thereby reducing the overall stress and strain of the module. By bending the integral base after applying the compressive force, the first deformation region 221 of the integral base 22 is changed from the compressive state to the tensile state when the integral base and the flexible display panel are flattened, and the deformation thereof is larger, and the pretightening force applied to the flexible display panel by 1 is larger. The flexible display device further comprises other optical components, including a polarizer, a cover plate and the like, and the complete machine base 22 and the flexible display panel 1 are laminated layer by layer after being flattened.
