The polaroid 5 is attached to the upper portion of the effective functional area of the display panel 2, the polaroid 5 is attached to the cover plate 7 through the optical transparent adhesive (TOCA) 6, the binding area of the COF is not attached to the polaroid 5 or the cover plate 7, and the support heat dissipation structure 8 is arranged between the display panel 2 and the flexible circuit board 3.
The inventor of the present application finds that, for a flexible AMOLED panel, the pad bonding area has low strength, the COF bending process has weak bending resistance, and the risk of film separation (Peeling) and bonding area deformation is high, as shown in fig. 2, when the COF is bent, film bending deformation (within a dotted line frame of fig. 2) of a display panel 2 and a supporting heat dissipation structure 8 in the bonding area is easily caused, and further, the film Peeling and metal wiring are broken to cause defects of bright lines, abnormal displays and the like, which seriously affects the yield and product reliability of the COF bending process.
In order to solve the problem that in the COF bending process of the flexible display product, due to insufficient supporting strength of the bonding region, the film layer of the bonding region is bent and deformed, and further, bright lines and abnormal displays are caused, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display module, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, including:
the display device comprises a display panel 10, wherein the display panel 10 is provided with a display area AA and a binding area BB positioned on one side of the display area AA; specifically, the display area AA of the display panel 10 is used for displaying a picture;
a flexible circuit board 20 fixed to the back surface of the display panel 10 and far away from the binding area BB of the display panel 10;

the reinforcing structure 70, the first structure 301 and the first adhesive layer 50 are fixedly connected through the reinforcing structure 70.
In the display module provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first structure of the chip on film is fixedly connected with the first adhesive layer by adopting the reinforcing structure, and the cover plate is attached by the polarizer of the first adhesive layer, so that the reinforcing structure is fixedly connected with the cover plate by the first adhesive layer, and the reinforcing structure can enhance the supporting performance of the binding region of the display panel, thereby realizing the reinforced fixation of the binding region of the display panel.

Optionally, the number of the UV-curing adhesive coating strips (i.e. the number of the reinforcing structures 70) may be determined according to the specific product size and the UV-curing adhesive coating process, which is not limited herein.
In a specific implementation, in the display module provided in the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 5, the material of the reinforcing structure 70 may include, but is not limited to, Foam (Foam) glue, and the reinforcing structure 70 covers a surface of the first structure 301 on a side away from the display panel 10. Specifically, the foam adhesive is attached to the upper portion of the first structure 301, and the foam adhesive has adhesiveness from top to bottom, so that the foam adhesive is attached to the cover plate 60 through the first adhesive layer 50(TOCA), and finally the binding area BB of the display panel 10 is strengthened and fixed, thereby avoiding the defects of bright lines, abnormal display and the like caused by stress deformation during the bending of the flip chip 30.
In a specific implementation, in the display module provided in the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 6, the reinforcing structure 70 may include a second adhesive layer 701, a reinforcing layer 702, and a third adhesive layer 703 that are stacked, where the second adhesive layer 701 is fixedly connected to the first structure 301, and the third adhesive layer 703 is fixedly connected to the first adhesive layer 50. Specifically, the reinforcing layer 702 with the upper and lower adhesive layers attached is attached to the first structure 301 and the first adhesive layer 50(TOCA), that is, the reinforcing layer 702 is attached to the cover plate 60 through the third adhesive layer 703, and the reinforcing layer 702 is attached to the first structure 301 through the second adhesive layer 701, so that the bonding area BB of the display panel 10 is strengthened and fixed, and the defects of bright lines, abnormal displays and the like caused by stress deformation during the bending of the flip chip film 30 are avoided.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7 and 9, the outline of the orthographic projection of the reinforcing structure 70 on the display panel 10 is a curved line; as shown in fig. 8 and 10, the outline of the orthogonal projection of the reinforcing structure 70 on the display panel 10 is square. As shown in fig. 7-10, the orthographic coverage area of the reinforcing structure 70 on the display panel 10 needs to exceed the left, upper and lower edges of the first structure 301, and can not exceed the right edge.

In addition, structural interference between the UV curing adhesive with the upper cover plate 60 in the process of attaching the cover plate 60 and the upper cover plate 60 and cutting off the first adhesive layer 50 due to the fact that the UV curing adhesive is too deep embedded into the first adhesive layer 50 are avoided, the maximum distance L between the surface of the UV curing adhesive in contact with the first adhesive layer 50 and the surface of the display panel 10 is smaller than or equal to the sum of the thickness K of the polarizer 40 and half of the thickness H of the first adhesive layer 50, namely, L is smaller than or equal to K + H/2. Similarly, for the solutions shown in fig. 5 and 6, the sum L of the thickness of the reinforcing structure 70 and the thickness of the first structure 301 needs to be greater than or equal to the thickness K of the polarizer 40, i.e., L is greater than or equal to K in fig. 12, and the sum L of the thickness of the reinforcing structure 70 and the thickness of the first structure 301 needs to be less than or equal to the sum of the thickness K of the polarizer 40 and half of the thickness H of the first adhesive layer 50, i.e., L is less than or equal to K + H/2. Therefore, in the display module provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3-6, 11 and 12, the maximum distance from the surface of the reinforcing structure 70 contacting the first adhesive layer 50 to the surface of the display panel 10 is a first distance L, and the first distance L is greater than or equal to the thickness K of the polarizer 40 and less than or equal to the sum of the thickness K of the polarizer 40 and the half of the thickness H of the first adhesive layer 50, i.e., K is less than or equal to L and less than or equal to K + H/2.
