Further, referring to fig. 2, in a method for manufacturing a display module according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for manufacturing a back film layer and stretching the back film layer 1 to make the back film layer 1 have an orientation along a first linear direction includes the following steps:
201. preparing a master batch of the back film layer 1 and slicing;
taking a polyethylene terephthalate film (PET) as an example, a polyethylene terephthalate master batch is prepared and sliced to have a small particle diameter.
202. Melting the master batch slices and extruding the master batch slices into a film;
and (3) feeding the sliced master batch into an extruder, heating (290 ℃) to be molten, and then extruding the molten master batch into a film by the extruder.

referring to fig. 5, in order to make the film-formed polyimide, i.e., the back film layer 1, have a desired thickness and have an orientation in the first linear direction a, it may be stretched by a longitudinal/transverse stretcher in two ways:
the first method comprises the following steps: stretching the back film layer 1 in a first linear direction a by using a longitudinal/transverse drawing machine, wherein the back film layer 1 has orientation along the first linear direction a;
here, the longitudinal/transverse drawing machine may stretch either one end or both opposite ends of the back film layer 1 in a first linear direction a during the stretching process, and preferably stretch both opposite ends of the back film layer 1 in the first linear direction a, so as to ensure that the back film layer 1 is uniformly stressed and the film thickness is uniform.
And the second method comprises the following steps: stretching the back film layer 1 in a first linear direction a by using one of a longitudinal drawing machine and a transverse drawing machine, and stretching the back film layer 1 in a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction a by using the other one of the longitudinal drawing machine and the transverse drawing machine, wherein the tension in the first linear direction a is ensured to be greater than that in the second linear direction, so that the back film layer 1 has orientation in the first linear direction a;
here, the longitudinal drawing machine and the transverse drawing machine may stretch any end or opposite ends of the back film layer 1 along a first linear direction a during the stretching process, and stretch any end or opposite ends of the back film layer 1 along a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction a, preferably stretch opposite ends of the back film layer 1 along the first linear direction a and opposite ends in the direction perpendicular to the first linear direction a, so as to ensure that the back film layer 1 is uniformly stressed and has a uniform film thickness.
Wherein, the pulling force along the first straight line direction a is larger than the pulling force along the second straight line direction, for example: the tension along the first straight line direction a can be several times of the tension along the second straight line direction, and can be adjusted according to actual needs; the magnitude of the tensile force in the first linear direction a may also be determined according to the magnitude of the force in the curling direction b of the display device layer 2, and the greater the tensile force in the first linear direction a, the greater the internal stress F, the greater the component force F1, and the greater the curling inhibiting effect on the display device layer 2.
Further, in order to ensure the stretching effect, in this embodiment, after the step 203, the film-formed polyimide, that is, the back film layer 1, needs to be preheated, an oven is used for preheating, the film-formed polyimide, that is, the back film layer 1, is placed in the oven, the temperature is kept at 65-80 ℃ for preheating for 10-20 minutes, and damage to the film layer or poor stretching effect caused by directly stretching the cooled film-formed polyimide, that is, the back film layer 1, is avoided.
205. Rolling and slicing the back film layer 1;
after step 205, the step 102 may be executed, which is specifically referred to above and will not be described in detail herein.
The preparation conditions in the above steps are only examples, and corresponding adjustment is actually required according to different materials, which is not described herein again; in addition, the steps 201 to 205 may be performed as steps for manufacturing the flexible thin film layer 3, and the effect of suppressing the curling of the display device layer 2 can be achieved by performing the steps 201 to 205 on at least one of the back film layer 1 and the flexible thin film layer 3.
Example 2
Further, on the basis of embodiment 1, referring to fig. 3, in the method for manufacturing a display module according to the embodiment of the present invention, step 103, a method for disposing a flexible thin film layer 3 on a side of the display device layer 2 away from the back film layer 1, includes the following steps:
301. preparing the flexible thin film layer 3 and arranging the flexible thin film layer 3 on one side of the display device layer 2, which is far away from the back film layer 1;
the preparation method of the flexible film 3 is the same as the preparation method of the back film layer 1, and please refer to detailed descriptions of steps 201 to 203 and step 205 in embodiment 1 for a specific implementation manner, which is not described herein again.
Or 302, preparing the flexible film layer 3, stretching the flexible film layer 3 to enable the flexible film layer 3 to have an orientation along a third linear direction d, and arranging the flexible film layer 3 with the orientation on the side of the display device layer 2, which is far away from the back film layer 1;
wherein the third linear direction d is the same as the first linear direction a; or
The third linear direction d is perpendicular to the first linear direction a.
Referring to fig. 6, in order to enhance the anti-curling performance of the display module, in this embodiment, in the process of preparing the flexible film layer 3, the flexible film layer 3 may also be stretched to have an orientation along the third linear direction d, when the third linear direction d is perpendicular to the first linear direction a, an internal stress F 'generated in a direction perpendicular to the third linear direction d is perpendicular to the internal stress F in fig. 5, and at this time, the internal stress F' also has a component force F1 'in a direction parallel to the curling direction b of the display device layer 2, and the component force F1' can further cooperate with the backsheet layer 1 to suppress curling; when the third linear direction d is the same as the first linear direction a (not shown in the figure), an internal stress F 'can be generated in a direction perpendicular to the third linear direction d, and the internal stress F' is the same as the internal stress F in fig. 5, and a component force F1 'of the internal stress F' in a direction parallel to the rolling direction b of the display device layer 2 can further cooperate with the back film layer 1 to suppress rolling.
Referring to fig. 5, since the back film layer 1 has an orientation of a first straight direction a, an internal stress F of the back film layer 1 in a direction perpendicular to the first straight direction a may cause the back film layer 1 to generate a warpage or a warpage tendency, in order to prevent the back film layer 1 from warpage, which causes the display device layer 2 to generate a warpage or a warpage tendency, in this embodiment, the step 302 is specifically to arrange the flexible film layer 3 having an orientation on a side of the display device layer 2 facing away from the back film layer 1, such that a warpage orientation of the flexible film layer 3 having an orientation in a direction perpendicular to the third straight direction d is opposite to a warpage orientation of the back film layer 1 in a direction perpendicular to the first straight direction a, where the opposite directions may be opposite to each other, that is, an edge of the back film layer 1 having a warpage or warpage tendency and an edge of the flexible film layer 3 having a warpage or warpage tendency are completely opposite, or an edge of the back film layer 1 having a warpage or a warpage tendency and an edge of the flexible film layer 3 having a warpage or warpage tendency are perpendicular to each other, and both of the two tendencies are included in the protection ranges. For example: referring to fig. 7, it shows that the edge of the back film layer 1 that generates warpage or warpage tendency is completely opposite to the edge of the flexible thin film layer 3 that generates warpage or warpage tendency, and if the back film layer 1 generates downward warpage or warpage tendency, the flexible thin film layer 3 correspondingly generates upward warpage or warpage tendency, so as to overcome the warpage or warpage tendency of the back film layer 1, and ensure that the display device layer 2 does not warp in the direction perpendicular to the curling direction b on the premise of suppressing curling, which affects user experience.
In order to achieve the desired thickness of the flexible film layer 3 and to have an orientation along the third linear direction d, the flexible film layer may be stretched by a longitudinal/transverse stretching machine in two ways:
the first method comprises the following steps: stretching the flexible film layer 3 along a third linear direction d by using a longitudinal/transverse stretching machine, so that the flexible film layer 3 has orientation along the third linear direction d;
here, the longitudinal/transverse drawing machine may stretch either one end or both opposite ends of the flexible film layer 3 in the third linear direction d during the stretching process, and preferably stretch both opposite ends of the flexible film layer 3 in the third linear direction d, so as to ensure that the flexible film layer 3 is uniformly stressed and the film thickness is uniform.
And the second method comprises the following steps: stretching the flexible film layer 3 in a third linear direction d by using one of a longitudinal stretching machine and a transverse stretching machine, and stretching the flexible film layer 3 in a fourth linear direction perpendicular to the third linear direction d by using the other one of the longitudinal stretching machine and the transverse stretching machine, wherein the tension in the third linear direction d is greater than that in the fourth linear direction d, so that the flexible film layer 3 has orientation in the third linear direction d;
here, the longitudinal drawing machine and the transverse drawing machine can stretch any end or two opposite ends of the flexible film layer 3 along a third linear direction d in the stretching process, stretch any end or two opposite ends of the flexible film layer 3 along a fourth linear direction perpendicular to the third linear direction d, preferably stretch two opposite ends of the flexible film layer 3 along the third linear direction d and two opposite ends in the direction perpendicular to the third linear direction d, and ensure that the flexible film layer 3 is uniformly stressed and the film thickness is uniform.
Wherein, the pulling force along the third linear direction d is larger than the pulling force along the fourth linear direction, for example: the tension in the third linear direction d can be several times of the tension in the fourth linear direction, and can be adjusted according to actual needs, and if the orientation in the third linear direction d is strong, the times can be adjusted; the magnitude of the tensile force in the third linear direction d may also be determined according to the magnitude of the force in the curling direction b of the display device layer 2, and the greater the tensile force in the third linear direction d, the greater the internal stress F, the greater the component force F1, and the greater the curling inhibiting effect on the display device layer 2. Further, in order to ensure the stretching effect, in this embodiment, the flexible thin film layer 3, which is the film-formed polyimide, needs to be preheated after the step 203, and the preheating condition refers to the detailed description of embodiment 1, so as to avoid the damage of the film layer or the poor stretching effect caused by directly stretching the film-formed polyimide, which is the flexible thin film layer 3, after cooling.
In addition, the steps 301 and 302 may be steps for manufacturing the back film layer 1, and when the flexible film layer 3 has an orientation that meets the requirements, the back film layer 1 may be manufactured as usual in the step 301, or may be manufactured by a stretching operation in the step 302.
It should be noted that: in fig. 5 and fig. 6, in order to clearly show the stress of each film layer, the back film layer 1 and the flexible film layer 3 are completely covered and attached to the display device layer 2, and there is no missing part.
Example 3
Referring to fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display module obtained by applying the display module manufacturing method of the above embodiment, which includes a back film layer 1, a display device layer 2, a flexible thin film layer 3, and a hardening layer 4, which are sequentially stacked; wherein:
the flexible film layer 3 and/or the back film layer 1 is a polymer orientation film, and the flexible film layer 3 and/or the back film layer 1 has an orientation along a first linear direction a so as to provide a force opposite to the curling direction b of the display device layer 2;
a first included angle c is formed between the first straight line direction a and the curling direction b of the display device layer 2; wherein the first included angle c is an acute angle.
Specifically, in order to solve the problem that the existing curled display device is difficult to return to a flat state due to accumulated strain of multiple curls, and thus user experience is affected, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display module, which includes the backsheet layer 1, the display device layer 2, the flexible film layer 3, and the hardened layer 4, and referring to fig. 4 and fig. 5, the backsheet layer 1 and/or the flexible film layer 3 are stretched during the process of manufacturing the backsheet layer 1 and/or the flexible film layer 3 to have an orientation along a first linear direction a, so that a polymer orientation film is formed, and then the backsheet layer 1 and/or the flexible film layer 3 generate an internal stress F in a direction perpendicular to the first linear direction a, and the F has a component force F1 and a component force F2 in directions parallel to and perpendicular to the curling direction b, respectively, and at the same time, a first intersection angle c is formed between the curling direction b of the display device layer 2 and the first linear direction a, and the first angle c is an acute angle, preferably a 45 degree angle is adopted, and at this time, and the component force F1 is the maximum, and F is parallel to the curling direction b, and is opposite to the curling direction b, so that the display device can suppress the internal stress of the display module. It should be noted that: referring to fig. 4, the display module disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes two thin film layers, namely, the back film layer 1 and the flexible thin film layer 3, respectively on and below the display device layer 2, so that it can be understood that in this embodiment, at least one of the two layers may be subjected to a stretching operation during the manufacturing process, so that the back film layer 1 and the flexible thin film layer 3 have a desired orientation, or both of the two layers may be simultaneously stretched, so that the back film layer and the flexible thin film layer have a desired orientation, so as to enhance the effect of suppressing the curling.
Further, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, in the display module according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the orientation along the first linear direction a is provided on the back film layer 1, the orientation along the third linear direction d is provided on the flexible film layer 3;
wherein the third linear direction d is the same as the first linear direction a, or
The third linear direction d is perpendicular to the first linear direction a.
Specifically, in order to enhance the anti-curling performance of the display module, in this embodiment, when the back film layer 1 has the first linear direction a, the flexible film layer 3 is configured to have an orientation along the third linear direction d, and when the third linear direction d is the same as the first linear direction a, an internal stress F 'can be generated in a direction perpendicular to the third linear direction d, where the internal stress F' is the same as the internal stress F in fig. 5, and a component force F1 'of the internal stress F' in a direction parallel to the curling direction b of the display device layer 2 can further cooperate with the back film layer 1 to act as a rolling-up inhibitor; when the third linear direction d is perpendicular to the first linear direction a, the internal stress F 'generated in the direction perpendicular to the third linear direction d is perpendicular to the internal stress F in fig. 5, and the internal stress F' also has a component force F1 'in the rolling direction b parallel to the display device layer 2, and the component force F1' can further cooperate with the back film layer 1 to suppress rolling.
Wherein, because the back film layer 1 has an orientation in a first straight direction a, an internal stress F of the back film layer 1 in a direction perpendicular to the first straight direction a may cause the back film layer 1 to generate a warpage or warpage tendency, and in order to prevent the display device layer 2 from generating warpage or warpage tendency due to warpage of the back film layer 1, in this embodiment, when the flexible thin film layer 3 is disposed on a side of the display device layer 2 facing away from the back film layer 1, the warpage of the flexible thin film layer 3 having the orientation in the direction perpendicular to the third straight direction d faces away from the warpage of the back film layer 1 in the direction perpendicular to the first straight direction a, for example: referring to fig. 7, if the back film layer 1 has a downward warping tendency, the flexible thin film layer 3 has an upward warping tendency, so as to overcome the warping tendency of the back film layer 1, and ensure that the display device layer 2 does not warp in a direction perpendicular to the curling direction b on the premise of suppressing curling, which affects user experience.
