In the prior art, an opening is usually required in a bonding structure for bonding a display module and a touch module in an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display screen to avoid a camera or other electronic components. When opening an optical Adhesive (OCA) used as a bonding structure, a Die cutting technique (Die cut) is mainly used to cut a desired shape on a large piece of optical Adhesive film by a cutter, which can be generally used to cut a larger area of optical Adhesive film. However, as the integration and performance requirements of electronic devices are higher and higher, and the volume and size requirements are smaller and smaller, it is difficult to cut small-sized structures such as circular holes by using the above methods, and the use requirements cannot be met due to the problems of sticking or cutting deformation of a cutter.

In order to at least partially solve the above problem, referring to fig. 1 to 2, an embodiment of the present application proposes a bonding structure 100, the bonding structure 100 having a first bonding surface 130 and a second bonding surface 140 disposed oppositely, the bonding structure 100 including a plurality of optical adhesive layers 110 arranged on top of each other between the first bonding surface 130 and the second bonding surface 140. The bonding structure 100 is used for packaging and fixing a display module and a touch panel in the display device 10, the bonding structure 100 has a first bonding surface 130 and a second bonding surface 140 which are oppositely arranged, one of the first bonding surface 130 and the second bonding surface 140 is used for bonding with the display module, and the other of the first bonding surface 130 and the second bonding surface 140 is used for bonding with the touch panel. Specifically, the bonding structure 100 includes a plurality of optical cement layers 110 arranged one on top of the other between a first bonding surface 130 and a second bonding surface 140. The optical adhesive layers 110 have high light transmittance and high bonding strength, and are convenient to cure, and two opposite surfaces of the optical adhesive layers 110 have viscosity, so that two adjacent optical adhesive layers 110 can be bonded together after being stacked, and meanwhile, the surfaces of the two optical adhesive layers 110 at the outermost layers of the bonding structure 100 can also be respectively used as a first bonding surface 130 and a second bonding surface 140 to be bonded with the display module and the touch panel respectively. The number of the optical adhesive layers 110 may be two, three, four, or more than four, and can be flexibly adjusted according to different practical application scenarios of the bonding structure 100. As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present application, a case that the bonding structure 100 includes two optical adhesive layers 110 is taken as an example for description, and a case that the number of the optical adhesive layers 110 is multiple is similar to that, and is not described herein again.
Each optical adhesive layer 110 is provided with a through hole 120, the shape, size and the like of the through hole 120 are not limited, and the through holes 120 on each optical adhesive layer 110 only need to satisfy the following conditions: in any two adjacent optical adhesive layers 110, the orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 on the side close to the second bonding surface 140 on the first bonding surface 130 completely covers the orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 on the side close to the first bonding surface 130 on the first bonding surface 130. The orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the first adhesion surface 130, i.e., the projection of the through hole 120 on the first adhesion surface 130, is in the direction perpendicular to the first adhesion surface 130. The orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 close to the second bonding surface 140 on the first bonding surface 130 completely covers the orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 close to the first bonding surface 130 on the first bonding surface 130, that is, in any two adjacent optical adhesive layers 110, the size of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 close to the second bonding surface 140 is larger, the size of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 close to the first bonding surface 130 is smaller, and the two through holes 120 are communicated with each other. The through holes 120 of the respective optical adhesive layers 110 are communicated and formed with stepped holes in the entire bonding structure 100, so that the through holes 120 can accommodate the photosensitive elements having the protruding step positioning structures 231, and the positioning of the photosensitive elements is more accurate.
Bonding structure 100 in this application embodiment is through setting up a plurality of optical cement layers 110 that range upon range of each other and arrange, all is equipped with through-hole 120 on every optical cement layer 110, then each through-hole 120 all is fashioned alone, can be to the nimble size that sets up each through-hole 120 of different user demands to the shaping of through-hole 120 is convenient, and the size setting of through-hole 120 is also more accurate. In any two adjacent optical adhesive layers 110, the orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 close to the second bonding surface 140 side on the first bonding surface 130 completely covers the orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 close to the first bonding surface 130 side on the first bonding surface 130, namely, the through holes 120 are communicated with each other to form a stepped hole, so that the through holes 120 can accommodate the photosensitive element with the protruding step positioning structures 231, and the positioning of the photosensitive element is more accurate.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the number of the optical adhesive layers 110 is two, at this time, the bonding structure 100 includes a first adhesive layer 111 and a second adhesive layer 112, a surface of the first adhesive layer 111 departing from the second adhesive layer 112 is a first bonding surface 130, a surface of the second adhesive layer 112 departing from the first adhesive layer 111 is a second bonding surface 140, a first through hole 121 is disposed on the first adhesive layer 111, a second through hole 122 is disposed on the second adhesive layer 112, and an orthographic projection of the second through hole 122 on the first bonding surface 130 completely covers an orthographic projection of the first through hole 121 on the first bonding surface 130. The first through hole 121 communicates with the second through hole 122 to form a stepped hole, and the size of the first through hole 121 at a side of the stepped hole close to the first adhesion surface 130 is smaller than the size of the second through hole 122 at a side close to the second adhesion surface 140. In addition to the above embodiments, the first through hole 121 has a first central axis, the second through hole 122 has a second central axis, and the first central axis coincides with the second central axis, so that the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122 are both of a central symmetrical structure having central axes, and the cross-sectional shapes of the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122 along the direction of the central axes of the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122 may be regular triangles, regular quadrangles, regular hexagons, and the like. In some embodiments, the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122 are both circular holes, and the aperture of the first through hole 121 is smaller than that of the second through hole 122. The first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122 are circular holes, which is convenient for processing and forming, and is also convenient for the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122 to match with a photosensitive element with a protruding step positioning structure 231.
To further facilitate the forming of the bonding structure 100, in some embodiments, the optical adhesive layer 110 is a liquid optical adhesive layer. The Liquid Optical Adhesive (LOCA) is a special Adhesive which is colorless and transparent, has light transmittance of more than 98 percent and good bonding strength and can be cured at normal temperature or moderate temperature. The use of the liquid optical adhesive layer as the optical adhesive layer 110 can provide a durable and high-strength adhesive effect while ensuring high light transmittance of the adhesive structure 100.
To avoid the adhesion of the optical adhesive layer 110 to the processing tool during the processing of the bonded structure 100, which may affect the processing precision, in some embodiments, the viscosity of the optical adhesive layer 110 is less than 100cps (centipoise). Viscosity is a measure of the viscosity of a fluid and is an indication of the fluid's flow forces versus its internal friction phenomena. High viscosity indicates high internal friction, and the higher the molecular weight, the more hydrocarbon bonds. The optical adhesive layers 110 having the viscosity of less than 100cps (centipoise. Sec.) are ultra-low viscosity colloids, and the optical adhesive layers 110 do not adhere to a processing tool to affect the processing precision during the processing of the bonded structure 100.
To sum up, the bonding structure 100 in the embodiment of the present application can flexibly set the size of each through hole 120 according to different use requirements, and a light leakage phenomenon caused by the oversize size of the through hole 120 does not occur. The through holes 120 are convenient to form, the machining and forming of other through holes 120 cannot be influenced when each through hole 120 is machined and formed, protruding electronic elements can be conveniently contained in the through holes 120 when the bonding structure 100 is used, and the using effect is good.
The embodiment of the present application further provides a manufacturing method of the bonding structure 100, which includes the following steps: a plurality of optical adhesive layers 110 provided with through holes 120 are arranged on top of each other to form a bonding structure 100.
As described above, since the bonding structure 100 has the first bonding surface 130 and the second bonding surface 140 disposed oppositely, the orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 on the side close to the second bonding surface 140 on the first bonding surface 130 in any two adjacent optical adhesive layers 110 can be completely covered on the orthographic projection of the through hole 120 on the optical adhesive layer 110 on the side close to the first bonding surface 130 on the first bonding surface 130. The respective through holes 120 communicate with each other to form a stepped hole so that the through holes 120 can receive the photosensitive element having the protruding step positioning structure 231, and the positioning of the photosensitive element is more accurate.
In order to facilitate the arrangement of the optical adhesive layers 110 and the formation of the through holes 120, in some embodiments, the step of arranging a plurality of optical adhesive layers 110 provided with through holes 120 on top of each other to form the bonding structure 100 is specifically: the optical cement is sprayed multiple times to form a plurality of optical cement layers 110 arranged in a stack. The spraying is a coating method of dispersing the optical cement into uniform and fine droplets by means of pressure or centrifugal force through a spray gun or an atomizer, applying the droplets onto the surface of the object to be coated, and the spraying process is adopted in the arrangement process of the optical cement layer 110, so that parameters such as the position, shape, size and the like of the through hole 120 on the optical cement layer 110 can be preset to form the stepped through hole 120.
Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, after the step of sequentially spraying each optical adhesive layer 110 on the optical adhesive layer 110 adjacent to the optical adhesive layer, the method further includes the following steps: each of the optical adhesive layers 110 is uv-cured. One of the components of the optical adhesive is a photoinitiator, which accounts for about 2% -10% of the glue components, and is a photosensitive chemical substance, which chemically changes and decomposes into free radicals after absorbing radiation energy (such as ultraviolet light), and then further performs a chain chemical reaction with resin glue to generate a high molecular polymer, which is the ultraviolet curing process of the optical adhesive layer 110. The curing refers to a process of converting a substance from a low molecule to a high molecule, and the optical adhesive layer 110 can exert a strong connecting and fastening effect after being cured.
Compared with the die cutting method in the prior art in which a cutter is used for cutting a large optical adhesive film into a required shape, the manufacturing method in the embodiment is simpler and more convenient to implement, the position, the shape, the size and the like of the through hole 120 are easy to control, and the processing precision is higher. In addition, the bonding structure 100 manufactured by the manufacturing method in the embodiment can flexibly set the size of each through hole 120 according to different use requirements, and the light leakage phenomenon caused by the oversize size of each through hole 120 cannot occur. The through holes 120 are convenient to form, the through holes 120 do not affect the processing and forming of other through holes 120 during the processing and forming, the protruding electronic elements can be conveniently accommodated in the through holes 120 when the bonding structure 100 is used, and the using effect is good.
