Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2 together, fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an electronic device according to a first embodiment of the present application; fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II in fig. 1. The electronic device 100 in the first embodiment of the present application includes a housing 20 and a flexible display device 30 disposed on the housing 20. The housing 20 includes a first frame 21, a second frame 23, and a hinge 25 connected between the first frame 21 and the second frame 23. The flexible display device 30 includes a flexible screen 32, a cover plate layer 34 disposed on a front surface of the flexible screen 32 and a protective layer 35 disposed on a rear surface of the flexible screen 32. The flexible screen 32 is provided with a bendable area 31 corresponding to the hinge 25. The flexible screen 32 includes a screen layer 322 and a touch layer 325, and the touch layer 325 is fixedly attached to the front surface of the screen layer 322 by the adhesive layer 324. The screen layer 322 is the main body of the display image. When the electronic device 100 is bent by the hinge 25, the flexible display device 30 is bent along the bendable region 31, and the screen layer 322 is located at a neutral layer position of the flexible display device 30 during the bending of the flexible display device 30 to improve the bending resistance of the screen layer 322. The protective layer 35 is a wear-resistant sheet, the protective layer 35 covers the bendable region 31, and the protective layer 35 is used for protecting the flexible screen 32 and the laminated material layer on the back surface thereof, and preventing the areas of the flexible screen 32 and the laminated material layer corresponding to the bendable region 31 from being worn. The front surface of the flexible screen 32 refers to the light emitting surface of the flexible screen 32, and the back surface of the flexible screen 32 refers to the surface facing back to the light emitting surface.
The neutral layer is a transition layer which is not stretched and not extruded on the section of the flexible display device 30, wherein the transition layer has little stress and is the neutral layer, and the outer layer of the flexible display device 30 is stretched and the inner layer of the flexible display device 30 is extruded in the bending process of the flexible display device 30. The screen layer 322 in this application is located on the neutral layer. The position of the neutral layer of the flexible display device 30 may be determined by adjusting the modulus of elasticity and/or the thickness of the layers of the bendable region 31 of the flexible display device 30. When the flexible screen 32 is bent, the cover plate layer 34 and the protective layer 35 are also bent along with the flexible screen 32, and the cover plate layer 34 or the protective layer 35 may be used as a reference layer, where the distance from the reference layer to the neutral layer should satisfy Yn (∑ (Ti × Ei Yi))/(Σ (Ti × Ei)), Yn is the distance from the reference layer to the neutral layer, Ti is the corresponding layer thickness of the flexible display device, Ei is the corresponding layer elastic modulus of the flexible display device, Yi is the distance from the reference layer to the geometric center of the corresponding component layer, and i is the corresponding number of layers. In this embodiment, the passivation layer 35 may be a silicon gel, a foam, a thin metal sheet such as a copper foil, a liquid metal sheet, a memory alloy, or other suitable materials. More preferably, a liquid metal sheet is used, the liquid metal sheet may be an alloy material of one or more materials of copper, titanium, iron, zirconium, silver, nickel, gallium, gold, antimony, cadmium, zinc, indium, silicon, and the like, and the specific metal is preferably selected to obtain other mechanical properties such as lower elastic modulus, hardness, extensibility, and the like.
The term liquid metal as used herein refers to an alloy which is heated to a molten state and then cooled at an ultra-fast cooling rate to solidify the alloy as it is crystallized out of order in the crystal lattice, and is also referred to as an amorphous alloy, liquid metal or metallic glass, since it is in an amorphous state, like glass. The liquid metal has the characteristics of long-range disorder (short-range order), metastable state, certain physical property isotropy, no definite melting point, glass transition temperature point and the like, has the characteristics of solid state, metal and glass, and can have high strength, high hardness, plasticity, heat conduction, wear resistance and the like under certain conditions. That is, the liquid metal referred to in the present invention is substantially solid at normal temperature, but has some properties close to those of liquid, and is therefore referred to as liquid metal.
In this embodiment, the protection layer 35 is a liquid metal protection layer, and the thickness of the liquid metal protection layer is 5 micrometers to 200 micrometers (inclusive). The elastic modulus difference between the liquid metal protective layer and the flexible screen is less than 100 Gpa.
In this embodiment, the front surface of the protection layer 35 is attached to the back surface of the flexible screen 32, and the back surface of the protection layer 35 is attached to the hinge 25. Specifically, the back surface of the flexible screen 32 is fixedly attached to the front surface of the protective layer 35, and the protective layer 35 is slidably connected to the hinge 25. When the electronic device 100 is bent or unfolded by the hinge 25, the back surface of the protection layer 35 slides relative to the hinge 25 corresponding to the region 31, and the screen layer 322 is located at the neutral layer position of the flexible display device 30.
The flexible screen 32 is further provided with a non-bending area connected to the bendable area 31, the protective layer 35 covers the non-bending area on the back surface of the flexible screen 32, and the full-covering mode can avoid the situation that the flexible screen 32 is wrinkled or has poor appearance due to the difference of sections on the two opposite sides of the protective layer 35.
In other embodiments, the protection layer 35 may cover only the region of the bendable region 31 to save the manufacturing cost.
In this embodiment, the reason why the liquid metal sheet is selected as the protective layer 35 is that the liquid metal sheet has better wear resistance, and when the liquid metal sheet is attached to the back surface of the flexible screen 32 by means of optical cement or the like, the liquid metal sheet can not only support the flexible screen 32, but also effectively resist friction generated by the hinge 25, and is not easy to wear. On the other hand, the liquid metal sheet has a lower elastic modulus than common metals (such as steel sheets, aluminum sheets, iron sheets, etc.), and can be directly adhered to the back of the flexible screen 32, and the flexible display device 30 can be stretched synchronously or approximately synchronously along with the flexible screen 32 when being bent, so that the flexible display device 30 is prevented from being damaged due to a large difference in stretching amplitude when being bent. In addition, compared with the existing materials with lower elastic modulus, such as silica gel, foam, plastic and the like, the liquid metal has higher strength and better wear resistance, and can effectively support the flexible screen 32.
In other embodiments, the protection layer 35 may be a soft wear-resistant plastic sheet, a soft wear-resistant rubber sheet, or a soft silicone sheet.
The elastic modulus of the protective layer 35 is greater than that of the flexible screen 32, and specifically, the thickness of the protective layer 35 ranges from 5 micrometers to 80 micrometers (inclusive).
In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 is a mobile phone. It is understood that in other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may be, but is not limited to, a radiotelephone, a pager, a Web browser, a notepad, a calendar, and/or a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver PDA.
The protection layer 35 is arranged on the back surface of the flexible screen 32 of the electronic device 100, and by adjusting the thickness and/or the elastic modulus of the cover plate layer 34 and/or the protection layer 35, when the flexible screen 32 is bent along the bendable region 31, the screen body layer 322 of the flexible screen 32 is located at the neutral layer position of the flexible display device 30, and the screen body layer 322 is subjected to less stress, so that the bending resistance of the screen body layer 322 is improved, and the service life of the flexible screen 32 is prolonged; secondly, since the protection layer 35 is located between the flexible screen 32 and the hinge 25, that is, the protection layer 35 has a protection effect on the flexible screen 32, the back surface of the flexible screen 32 is not worn in the process of bending or flattening the electronic device 100, so that the function of the flexible screen 32 is not affected; in addition, the protective layer 35 has rigidity and can support the flexible screen 32.
One end of the first frame 21, which is away from the second frame 23, is provided with a sliding guide groove 212, the sliding guide groove 212 is slidably provided with a sliding block 214, and an elastic member 216 is disposed between the sliding block 214 and the first frame 21 along a sliding direction of the sliding block 214. In this embodiment, one end of the back surface of the flexible screen 32 is fixedly attached to the slider 214, the other end of the back surface of the flexible screen 32 is fixedly attached to the region of the front surface of the protective layer 35 corresponding to the second frame 23, and the middle portion of the back surface of the flexible screen 32 is fixedly attached to the front surface of the protective layer 35. One end of the back surface of the protective layer 35 is fixed to the second frame 23, and a partial region of the back surface of the protective layer 35 and the hinge 25 are slidable relative to each other. The back surface of the protection layer 35 is not fixedly attached to the hinge 25, that is, the back surface of the protection layer 35 is in sliding contact with the hinge 25 in the region of the bendable region 31, so that the flexible display device 30 can be bent and flattened. The elastic member 216 elastically pushes the sliding block 214 to slide towards an end away from the second frame 23, so as to straighten the flexible screen 32 outwards, and prevent the area of the flexible screen 32 corresponding to the bendable area 31 from being separated from the hinge 25 and arching when the electronic device 100 is bent/unfolded. When the electronic device 100 is bent or unfolded through the hinge 25, the region between the back surface of the protective layer 35 and the hinge 25 corresponding to the bendable region 31 slides relatively, and the protective layer 35 has a protective effect on the flexible screen 32, so that the protective layer 35 can prevent the hinge 25 from abrading the flexible screen 32. At this time, the panel body layer 322 of the flexible panel 32 is located at a neutral layer position of the flexible display device 30, thereby improving the bending resistance of the flexible display device 30.
In this embodiment, the elastic member 216 is a spring, one end of the spring is connected to the first frame 21, and the other end of the spring is connected to the slider 214.
Further, the back of the flexible screen 32 may also be provided with a light-shielding black glue layer, and the protective layer 35 is fixedly attached to the back of the light-shielding black glue layer of the flexible screen 32, so as to prevent or reduce the abrasion of the light-shielding black glue layer of the flexible screen 32.
The cover plate layer 34 is a transparent, flexible and bendable sheet, in this embodiment, the cover plate layer 34 is ultra-thin glass, and the thickness of the ultra-thin glass cover plate is micron-sized.
The reason why the ultra-thin glass is selected as the cover plate layer 34 in this embodiment is that the ultra-thin glass cover plate has the advantages of better bending resistance, high strength, high hardness and the like, and when the ultra-thin glass cover plate is attached to the front surface of the flexible screen 32, the ultra-thin glass cover plate can not only bend or flatten along with the flexible screen 32, but also can effectively resist the scratch of the ultra-thin glass cover plate by external objects and is not easy to wear. Secondly, the elastic modulus of the ultra-thin cover glass is low, and the ultra-thin cover glass can be directly adhered to the front surface of the flexible screen 32, and can be synchronously or approximately synchronously stretched along with the flexible screen 32 when the flexible display device 30 is bent, so that the situation that the flexible display device 30 is damaged due to large difference of stretching amplitude when the flexible display device is bent is avoided. On the other hand, the luminousness of ultra-thin glass cover plate is high, and is convenient the ejaculate of the light of flexible screen 32, and after long-time the use, ultra-thin glass cover plate also can not appear discolouring scheduling problem.
Preferably, the thickness of the ultra-thin glass cover plate layer 34 ranges from 5 microns to 80 microns inclusive.
The elastic modulus of the ultra-thin glass is close to that of the liquid metal (the difference between the two is less than or equal to 50GPa), so that the screen body layer can be positioned at the position of the neutral layer by adjusting the thicknesses of the two. In the present application, if the thickness and the elastic modulus of the cover plate layer 34 are set to be t1 and E1, respectively, and the thickness and the elastic modulus of the protection layer 35 are set to be t2 and E2, respectively, when the cover plate layer 34 and the protection layer 35 have the same elastic modulus, i.e., E1 ≈ E2, the thicknesses of the cover plate layer 34 and the protection layer 35 should be set to satisfy 2t1 ≈ t 2; of course, it is also possible to ensure that the screen layer is in the neutral position by adjusting the elastic modulus of the ultra-thin glass and the liquid metal, and when the cover plate layer 34 is equal to the thickness of the protective layer 35, i.e. t1 ≈ t2, the elastic modulus of the cover plate layer 34 and the protective layer 35 should be set to satisfy 2.5E1 ≈ E2. Therefore, the screen layer 322 can be ensured to be at the position of the neutral layer, and the screen layer is prevented or reduced from being damaged by stress when being bent. Furthermore, the terms "equivalent" and "approximately equal to (≈)" indicate that the difference between the previous and subsequent values is less than or equal to 20%, i.e., E1 ≈ E2 indicates |. E1-E2 |/(the smaller values in E1 and E2) is less than or equal to 20%, and other expressions can refer to the above expressions.
Because the elastic modulus of the ultrathin glass is far greater than that of the flexible screen, if the ultrathin glass is directly attached to the flexible screen, the screen body layer cannot be adjusted to the position of the neutral layer due to the large elastic modulus difference. Therefore, liquid metal with the elastic modulus close to that of the ultrathin glass is further added to the bottom of the flexible screen, and the overlarge elastic modulus of the ultrathin glass is offset by the liquid metal, so that the screen body layer is easily adjusted to the position of the neutral layer.
In other embodiments, the cover sheet layer 34 may also be a flexible transparent cover sheet, such as a transparent PET film layer. Because of the large difference between the elastic moduli of the flexible membrane layer and the liquid metal, the screen body layer can be brought to or near the neutral layer in another way. In this embodiment, the front surface of the protective layer 35 is attached to the back surface of the flexible screen 32 through a colloid 36, the storage modulus value of the colloid 36 is greater than or equal to 50KPa, and the glass transition temperature of the colloid 36 is less than or equal to-20 ℃.

After the flexible display device 30 is provided with the supporting film 37, the thickness and/or the elastic modulus of the cover plate layer 34, the protective layer 35 and the supporting film 37 are/is adjusted to make the screen layer 322 of the flexible screen 32 still located at the neutral layer position of the flexible display device 30. The support film 37 may be a PET film, a PI film, a PC film, or the like.

Since the protective layer 35 and the support film 37 both have a protective effect on the flexible screen 32, the electronic device 100 does not wear down the flexible screen 32 when being bent or flattened; in addition, the screen layer 322 is always located at the neutral layer position of the flexible display device 30, so that the bending resistance of the flexible screen 32 can be improved, and the service life of the flexible display device 30 can be prolonged.
