Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a longitudinal section of a flexible cover according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the flexible cover plate includes: a substrate 11; a plurality of columns 12 arranged at intervals on the surface of the base plate 11; and a hard coat layer 13 covering a surface of the base plate 11, wherein the plurality of pillars 12 are accommodated in the hard coat layer 13.
It should be understood that the substrate 11 is a transparent substrate, and the material of the transparent substrate may be Polyimide (PI) or polyester resin (PET), and the embodiment of the invention does not limit what material the substrate is specifically made of.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 2, the plurality of columns 12 may be regularly arranged on the surface of the substrate 11 in a mutually opposite manner, or the plurality of columns 12 may be regularly arranged on the surface of the substrate 11 in a mutually staggered manner, as shown in fig. 3, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the arrangement manner of the columns 12 on the surface of the substrate 11, and the plurality of columns 12 may also be irregularly arranged on the surface of the substrate 11 as shown in fig. 4. Meanwhile, the number of the plurality of columns 12 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and the number may be determined according to the size of the substrate 11 and the distance between the columns 12.
It should be understood that, since the hard coating layer 13 is disposed on the surface of the base plate 11, the hard coating layer 13 covers the plurality of columns 12 so that the plurality of columns 12 are accommodated in the hard coating layer 13, but the present embodiment does not limit the positional relationship between the plurality of columns 12 and the hard coating layer 13, and the plurality of columns 12 may be completely accommodated in the hard coating layer 13, that is, the plurality of columns 12 are completely attached to the hard coating layer 13.
Therefore, the plurality of the upright posts 12 are arranged in the hard coating 13 of the flexible cover plate, so that the impact resistance and the bending performance of the flexible cover plate are improved while the film layer structure and the thickness of the flexible cover plate are not increased. Specifically, the existence of the plurality of columns 12 can improve the impact resistance of the hard coating layer 13 on the premise of not increasing the thickness of the hard coating layer 13, so that the impact resistance of the whole flexible cover plate is improved; meanwhile, the existence of the plurality of upright columns 12 can improve the bending property of the hard coating 13 on the premise of not reducing the thickness of the hard coating 13, and when the flexible cover plate is bent, the probability of cracks and even interlayer peeling of the hard coating 13 is reduced. Thus, the presence of the plurality of posts 12 provides an improved flexible cover in both opposing dimensions, impact resistance and flexibility.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5 to 12, the plurality of columns 12 includes at least one of the following columns: metal pillars 121, inorganic pillars 122, and organic pillars 123.

However, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit what kind of combination of the plurality of pillars 12, specifically, the metal pillars 121, the inorganic pillars 122, and the organic pillars 123, and also does not limit the arrangement manner of the plurality of pillars 12, specifically, the combination of the metal pillars 121, the inorganic pillars 122, and the organic pillars 123, and besides the combination and the arrangement manner shown in fig. 5 to 12, the embodiment of the present invention also includes other types of combinations and arrangement manners, which are not indicated herein.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the plurality of columns 12 is not limited, and may be a metal compound material, a metal organic material, an inorganic material, or an organic material, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
It should be understood that, in general, pillars formed of metal compound materials or metal organic materials generally have tensile stress, and pillars formed of inorganic materials or organic materials generally have compressive stress. Therefore, the alternating arrangement combination of the organic pillars 123 and the metal pillars 121 shown in fig. 9, the alternating arrangement combination of the inorganic pillars 122 and the metal pillars 121 shown in fig. 10, and the random arrangement combination of the organic pillars 123, the metal pillars 121, and the inorganic pillars 122 shown in fig. 12 are all that the organic pillars 123 and/or the inorganic pillars 122 are disposed on two sides of the metal pillars 121, so that the tensile stress and the compressive stress are alternately arranged, and the alternate arrangement of the tensile stress and the compressive stress can reduce the stress borne by the hard coating in the bending process, thereby reducing the probability of cracks and even interlayer peeling of the hard coating.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the longitudinal section of the plurality of pillars 12 perpendicular to the direction of the base plate 11 includes at least one of the following shapes: rectangular, parallelogram, trapezoidal.
It should be understood that the shape of a longitudinal section of the plurality of columns 12 perpendicular to the substrate 11 direction may be a rectangle as shown in fig. 1, and the three-dimensional shape of the column corresponding to the rectangle may be a cylinder, a pentagonal prism, a cuboid, a cube, or the like; the shape of a longitudinal section of the plurality of columns 12 perpendicular to the direction of the base plate 11 may be a parallelogram as shown in fig. 13; the shape of a longitudinal section of the plurality of columns 12 perpendicular to the substrate 11 may also be a trapezoid as shown in fig. 14 and 15, and a three-dimensional shape of a column corresponding to the trapezoid may be a circular truncated cone or a truncated pyramid.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific shape of the longitudinal section of the plurality of columns 12 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 11 is not limited, and the plurality of columns 12 may be triangular in shape, or the three-dimensional shape of the column corresponding to the triangle may be a cone, a pyramid, or the like, in addition to the shapes shown in fig. 1, 13 to 15. Meanwhile, the embodiment of the present invention also does not limit what kind of shape of the plurality of columns 12 are specifically combined, and the plurality of columns 12 may be combined with columns having the same shape as shown in fig. 1, 13 to 15, or may be any combination of columns having different shapes.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 16, when the plurality of columns 12 has a trapezoidal longitudinal section, the spaced arrangement includes an alternating spaced arrangement of regular trapezoidal columns 124 and inverted trapezoidal columns 125.
It should be understood that when the longitudinal section of the plurality of vertical columns 12 is a trapezoid as shown in fig. 14 and 15, the plurality of vertical columns 12 may be a combination of regular trapezoid vertical columns 124 and inverted trapezoid vertical columns 125 which are alternately arranged, the alternate arrangement of the regular trapezoid vertical columns 124 and the inverted trapezoid vertical columns 125 not only can reduce the stress borne by the hard coating during the bending process, thereby reducing the probability of cracks and even interlayer peeling of the hard coating, but also can connect the regular trapezoid vertical columns 124 and the inverted trapezoid vertical columns 125 end to end during the bending process, and the end-to-end arrangement of the regular trapezoid vertical columns 124 and the inverted trapezoid vertical columns 125 can further improve the hardness of the hard coating, thereby further improving the impact resistance of the flexible cover plate.
It should also be understood that the regular trapezoid pillar 124 may be made of a metal material, an inorganic material or an organic material, and the inverted trapezoid pillar 125 may be made of a metal material, an inorganic material or an organic material, and the present invention is not limited to what specific materials the regular trapezoid pillar 124 and the inverted trapezoid pillar 125 are made of. The material combination of the regular trapezoid pillars 124 and the inverted trapezoid pillars 125 may be an alternating combination or a random combination among the metal pillars 121, the inorganic pillars 122, and the organic pillars 123 as shown in fig. 5 to 12, but the embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.
In order to further increase the hardness of the hard coating and further reduce the stress applied to the hard coating, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific shape of the plurality of columns 12, and may be an alternate arrangement of the regular trapezoidal columns 124 and the inverted trapezoidal columns 125, or an alternate arrangement of the parallelogram columns.

It should be understood that the spacing D between two adjacent ones of the plurality of columns 121Is set to 1 μm to 10 μm when the distance D between two adjacent pillars of the plurality of pillars 121Less than 1 μm, due to the spacing D between two adjacent pillars1Too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the upright post; when the distance D between two adjacent columns of the plurality of columns 121Greater than 10 μm, due to the spacing D between two adjacent pillars1Too large, which may cause light emission from the OLED deviceThe phenomena of refraction and dispersion are generated, so that the use experience of a user is reduced; preferably, the distance D between two adjacent columns of the plurality of columns 1215 μm, which is not only beneficial to the processing of the pillar, but also does not cause refraction and dispersion of the light emitted by the OLED device.
It should also be understood that the height D of said longitudinal section of each upright is such as to be2The distance between the top surface of the three-dimensional column and the substrate 11, and the height D of the longitudinal section of each column of the plurality of columns 122Can be set to 1 μm to 3 μm when the height D of the longitudinal section of each of the plurality of pillars 122Less than 1 μm, due to the height D of the pillars2Too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the upright post; when the height D of the longitudinal section of each of the plurality of columns 12 is2Greater than 3 μm, due to the height D of the pillars2Too large, which increases the thickness of the hard coating; preferably, the height D of said longitudinal section of each of said plurality of uprights 1222 μm, which not only facilitates the processing of the pillars, but also does not increase the thickness of the hard coating.
It will also be appreciated that, since the uprights are of solid geometry, the width of the longitudinal section is also different for different cross-sections, the maximum width D of said longitudinal section of each upright being based on the size of the width dimension taking into account the different dimensions of the upright3Can refer to the maximum width in the shape of the different longitudinal sections of the uprights in different cross-sections, the maximum width D of said longitudinal section of each upright3It may also refer to the maximum width in the shape of the longitudinal section of the pillar in a cross-sectional view, and the size of the longest base of the trapezoid shown in FIG. 16 is D3. A maximum width D of the longitudinal section of each of the plurality of uprights 123Can be set to 1 μm to 10 μm when the maximum width D of the longitudinal section of each of the plurality of pillars 123Less than 1 μm, due to the width D of the pillars3Too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the upright post; when the maximum width D of the longitudinal section of each of the plurality of uprights 123When the thickness is larger than 10 μm, the vertical columnWidth D of3The size of the column is too large, and the column is positioned in the flexible cover plate closest to human eyes in the OLED module, so that a user can observe the existence of the column, and the use experience of the user is reduced; preferably, the maximum width D of the longitudinal section of each of the plurality of uprights 123Is 5 μm, which not only facilitates the processing of the pillars, but also does not allow the user to observe the presence of the pillars.
It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the size of the space between two adjacent columns and the size of each column; the embodiment of the invention also does not limit whether the space between any two adjacent upright columns is equal, can be equal or not; the embodiment of the present invention also does not limit whether the sizes of the pillars are equal, and may be equal or unequal.
