The following describes in detail representative structures, connection manners and functional relationships of the main components of the OLED display according to the present invention with reference to the above drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in this embodiment, the OLED display provided by the invention includes four display panels 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d. In the OLED display shown in fig. 1 and 2, the four display panels 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d are disposed on the same plane and are distributed in a2 × 2 array on the plane. In addition to the above distribution pattern, the slits of the four display panels 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d adjacent to each other in pairs are substantially cross-shaped, and the shapes of the four display panels 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d are preferably point-symmetrical with the intersection center of the cross-shaped slits as a point of symmetry in this state. In the present embodiment, the display panels 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d are illustrated as being substantially rectangular, and the display panels 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d have the same length and width. As shown in fig. 1, in the first display mode, the two display panels 100a and 100b (100c and 100d) in the same row are disposed with their long sides facing each other, and the two display panels 100a and 100c (100b and 100d) in the same column are disposed with their short sides facing each other. In contrast, as shown in fig. 2, in the second display mode, the two display panels 100a and 100b (100c and 100d) in the same row are disposed with their short sides facing each other, and the two display panels 100a and 100c (100b and 100d) in the same column are disposed with their long sides facing each other.
As shown in fig. 1, 2, 7, and 8, in the present embodiment, two display panels 100a, 100b (100c, 100d) in the same row share one driver integrated circuit 160(IC) and one flexible circuit board 150 (FPC). Accordingly, the two display panels 100a, 100b (100c, 100d) in the same row can realize synchronous display. That is, the two display panels 100a and 100b (100c and 100d) in the same row can realize synchronous display in the display areas of the two display panels 100a and 100b (100c and 100d) by the above-described design. Specifically, two display areas of the display screen 100a and the display screen 100b in the same row macroscopically provide the overall display effect of one display area, that is, the display area AA1 in the first display mode or the display area AA3 in the second display mode. Meanwhile, the two display areas of the display screen 100c and the display screen 100d in the same row macroscopically provide the overall display effect of the other display area, that is, the display area AA2 in the first display mode or the display area AA4 in the second display mode. Through the design, the OLED display provided by the invention can realize synchronous control on the two display screens in the same row, so that the picture synchronization can be realized on the two display screens in the same row, and the effect of enlarging the area of a display area is achieved. In addition, when the two rows of display screens are overturned by 180 degrees through the overturning shaft, double-sided display of the OLED display can be realized. As shown in fig. 7, in the first display mode, after the two rows of display screens are turned over by 180 °, the OLED display forms a double-sided display structure similar to a square screen, and is more suitable for applications such as video-audio playing and text reading. As shown in fig. 8, in the second display mode, after the two rows of display screens are turned over by 180 °, the OLED display forms a double-sided display structure similar to a bar screen, and is more suitable for applications in narrow spaces of vehicle navigation and the like.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, each display panel has a first corner 101 and a second corner 102 at both ends of a side facing another display panel in the same row, and the first corner 101 and the second corner 102 are respectively distant from and adjacent to the other display panel in the same row. It should be noted that, in the present specification, the above-mentioned positional relationship between the first corner 101 and the second corner 102 is described based on the state of the OLED display in the first display mode, so as to facilitate understanding and description. Specifically, taking the display panel 100a as an example, in the state shown in fig. 1, the display panel 100a faces the side of the display panel 100b in the other row in the same row, and actually is the long side of the display panel 100a. The side of the display screen 100a has two ends respectively distant from and adjacent to the display screen 100c, wherein the end distant from the display screen 100c has a first corner 101, and wherein the end adjacent to the display screen 100c has a second corner 102. It is easily understood that, still taking the display screen 100a as an example, in the state shown in fig. 2, the display screen 100a is a display screen 100b whose short side is opposite to the same row, and at this time, the long side of the display screen 100a is opposite to the display screen 100c in the same column, but the first corner 101 and the second corner 102 of the display screen 100a are still located at both ends of the long side. The first corner 101 and the second corner 102 of the remaining three display panels 100b, 100c, 100d correspond to the design of the display panel 100a, and are not described herein.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the two first corners 101 of the two display panels 100a and 100b (100c and 100d) in the same row are pivotally connected to each other via a set of adapter assemblies 200, and the two second corners 102 of the two display panels 100a and 100c (100b and 100d) in the same column are pivotally connected to each other via a set of adapter assemblies 200. That is, the OLED display includes four sets of the switching assemblies 200. Specifically, the first corner 101 of the display screen 100a and the first corner 101 of the display screen 100b in the same row are rotatably connected through the first set of adapter assemblies 200, the second corner 102 of the display screen 100a and the second corner 102 of the display screen 100c in the same column are rotatably connected through the second set of adapter assemblies 200, the second corner 102 of the display screen 100b and the second corner 102 of the display screen 100d in the same column are rotatably connected through the third set of adapter assemblies 200, and the first corner 101 of the display screen 100c and the first corner 101 of the display screen 100d in the same row are rotatably connected through the fourth set of adapter assemblies 200. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 3 to fig. 5, the OLED display of the present invention can make the four display panels 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d rotate relatively on the plane, and can also make the two rows of display panels turn relatively (fig. 4 is a state after the two rows of display panels in fig. 1 are turned by 180 °, and fig. 5 is a state after the two rows of display panels in fig. 2 are turned by 180 °). Wherein, as shown in fig. 1, the OLED display is flipped about the flipping axis S1 in the first display mode, and as shown in fig. 2, the OLED display is flipped about the flipping axis S2 in the second display mode. Through the design, the OLED display provided by the invention can solve the problem that the flexible OLED is easy to generate defects in the bending process, and can provide a larger and adjustable display area. Compared with the existing flexible OLED design scheme, the flexible OLED display screen can realize that two rows of display screens are turned and folded 180 degrees relatively, can also realize that each display screen rotates on the plane, and can realize another display size when the two rows of display screens are turned and folded 180 degrees relatively after rotating.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 6, in the present embodiment, each display panel may preferably include an OLED substrate 110, an optical adhesive layer 120, a polarizer 130, an upper cover plate 140, a flexible circuit board 150, and a driving integrated circuit 160. Specifically, in the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown in fig. 6, the OLED substrate 110, the optical adhesive layer 120, the polarizer 130, and the upper cover plate 140 are sequentially stacked from bottom to top. The OLED substrate 110 includes an OLED display structure and an OLED substrate. Optical adhesive layer 120 may preferably be an oca (optical Clear adhesive) optical adhesive.

As shown in fig. 1, 2, 7, and 8, in the two display panels 100a, 100b (100c, 100d) in the same row, the flexible circuit board 150 and the driver ic 160 common to both are connected across the two display panels 100a, 100b (100c, 100 d).
Further, based on the above-mentioned design of the flexible circuit board 150 bridge, in the present embodiment, the flexible circuit board 150 may be preferably disposed on a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible circuit board 150 may be fabricated on a flexible substrate during the fabrication process of the flexible circuit board 150, and the flexible substrate may form the flexible substrate on the back side of the flexible circuit board 150. Through the design, the flexible circuit board 150 is not easy to break due to structural bending when rotating and overturning.

The corrugated structure may be corrugated, or may be zigzag or irregular.
Further, based on the design of the driver integrated circuit 160 crossover described above, in the present embodiment, the driver integrated circuit 160 may be preferably disposed on another flexible substrate. For example, the driving integrated circuit 160 may be fabricated on another flexible substrate during the fabrication process of the driving integrated circuit 160, and the flexible substrate may form the flexible substrate on the back side of the driving integrated circuit 160. Through the above design, the present invention can make the driving integrated circuit 160 less prone to fracture due to structural bending during rotation and inversion.
Further, based on the design in which the driver integrated circuit 160 is provided on the flexible substrate, in the present embodiment, the flexible substrate may be preferably made of a polyimide copper foil.

The corrugated structure may be corrugated, or may be zigzag or irregular.

The elastic link 220 may be preferably made of an elastic material, which may include a high polymer material, such as elastic rubber, and has high elasticity and reversible deformation characteristics. In the above description, taking a set of adapter assemblies 200 connected between the display panel 100a and the display panel 100b as an example, one of the rotation shafts 210 of the adapter assemblies 200 is fixed to the lower surface of the portion of the common driving ic 160 corresponding to the first corner 101 of the display panel 100a, and the other rotation shaft 210 is fixed to the lower surface of the portion of the common driving ic 160 corresponding to the first corner 101 of the display panel 100b. In addition, when the driving ic 160 is disposed on a flexible substrate, the shaft 210 of the adapter module 200 is actually fixed on the lower surface of the flexible substrate of the driving ic 160.

It should be noted herein that the OLED displays shown in the drawings and described in this specification are but a few examples of the wide variety of OLED displays that can employ the principles of the present invention. It should be clearly understood that the principles of the present invention are in no way limited to any of the details of the OLED display or any of the components of the OLED display shown in the drawings or described in this specification.
The OLED display provided by the invention can solve the problem that the flexible OLED is easy to generate defects in the bending process, and can provide a larger and adjustable display area. Compared with the existing flexible OLED design scheme, the flexible OLED display screen can realize that two rows of display screens are turned and folded 180 degrees relatively, can also realize that each display screen rotates on the plane, and can realize another display size when the two rows of display screens are turned and folded 180 degrees relatively after rotating. In addition, the two display screens in the same row share the drive integrated circuit and the flexible circuit board, so that synchronous control of the two display screens in the same row can be realized, and thus, picture synchronization can be realized on the two display screens in the same row, and the effect of enlarging the area of a display area is achieved.
Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the two display screens are connected by the elastic connecting rod, and compared with the existing foldable display device that is folded, the flexible touch screen in the device must be folded in half, and if the flexible touch screen is folded in half or bent excessively, the screen is likely to be abnormal or damaged. The invention adopts the elastic connecting rod to avoid poor reliability easily generated in the existing flexible OLED design.
