Some elements of the terminal 100 are omitted from fig. 2, and only the display screen assembly 10 is illustrated. It is understood that the terminal 100 further includes a housing, a battery, and the like.

As shown in fig. 3, the cover plate 11 includes a cover plate straight portion 112, two cover plate bending portions 111a respectively located at two opposite ends of the cover plate straight portion 112 in the Y-axis direction, and two cover plate bending portions 111b respectively located at two opposite ends of the cover plate straight portion 112 in the X-axis direction. The X-axis direction is perpendicular to the Y-axis direction. The flat portion 112 of the cover plate has a rectangular shape. The two cover bending portions 111a are bent from two short edges of the rectangle in a direction away from the cover straight portion 112. The two cover bent portions 111b are bent from the two long edges of the rectangle in a direction away from the cover straight portion 112. Therefore, four side surfaces of the front surface 11a of the cover plate 11 are arc surfaces, and the cover plate 11 has a 3D curved shape in both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, so as to improve the user experience.

In fig. 3, the flat portion 112 of the cover plate has a flat plate shape, and both opposite surfaces thereof are flat.

In some embodiments, the included angle between the cover bending portion 111 and the cover flat portion 112 is approximately 90 degrees, for example, 80 degrees to 160 degrees. The cover plate 11 is transparent and may be made of glass or plastic.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the display panel in fig. 2, please refer to fig. 2 again in conjunction with fig. 4. The display panel 12 includes a display area 121 and a bending area 122 bent from the display area 121 to a side of the display area 121 away from the cover plate 11. The display area 121 includes a flat display area 1211 and a connected curved display area 1212. The flat display area 1211 is disposed on the flat portion 112 of the cover plate. The curved display area 1212 is disposed on the cover plate bending portion 111. The bending region 122 includes a first bending region 1221 disposed opposite to the curved display region 1212, a binding region 1223 connecting the first bending region 1221, and a second bending region 1222 connected between the curved display region 1212 and the first bending region 1221. The binding area 1223 is disposed opposite to the flat display area 1211, and the flat display area 1211, the curved display area 1212, the second bending area 1222, the first bending area 1221, and the binding area 1223 are connected in sequence and in a smooth transition manner.

The flat display area 1211 and the binding area 1223 are both flat and opposite to each other. The curved surface display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221 are both C-shaped, and the bending directions of the curved surface display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221 are the same as the bending direction of the cover plate bending portion 111, and the opening direction of the C-shaped is the direction in which the cover plate bending portion 111 points to the curved surface display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221. The curved display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221 are contained inside the cover plate bending portion 111, and the shapes of the curved display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221 are matched with the shape of the cover plate bending portion 111. The second bending region 1222 connects the curved display region 1212 and the first bending region 1221, and the second bending region 1222 is U-shaped.

In fig. 2, the display panel 12 includes a plurality of curved display regions 1212. Each curved surface display area 1212 is disposed at one of the cover bending portions 111 in fig. 3. Thus, the terminal 100 includes a flat display area 1211 and four curved display areas 1212 extending from the peripheral edges of the flat display area 1211, which can implement a four-sided curved full screen display. In addition, the flat display area 1211 has a quadrilateral shape similar to the flat portion 112 of the cover plate, and the flat display area 1211 includes four adjacent edges, and the bending area 122 is disposed at the curved display area 1212 connected to at least one of the four adjacent edges.

Specifically, the curved display area 1212 attached to the cover bending portion 111a at the lower side of the terminal 100 is provided with the bending area 122. That is, on the lower side of the terminal 100, the display panel 12 is bent to the side thereof facing away from the display screen for binding. In other embodiments, the number and location of the bending regions 122 are not limited thereto. For example, the bending region 122 may be disposed at any one of an upper side, a left side, and a right side of the terminal 100.

In some embodiments, the display screen assembly 10 further includes a circuit board 17 disposed in the binding area 1223. The circuit board 17 is disposed on a side of the display area 121 away from the display surface thereof. The circuit board 17 is electrically connected to the binding area 1223 of the display panel 12, which is equivalent to that the circuit board 17 is electrically connected to the display area 121 through the binding area 1223 to drive the display area 121 to display the image. The Circuit Board 17 may be a Flexible Circuit Board (FPC).

In some embodiments, the display screen assembly 10 further includes a chip 16 electrically connected to the binding 1223. The circuit board 17 is electrically connected to the chip 16 through the bonding area 1223, and the circuit board 17 supplies power to the chip 16 and provides various signals. The method of mounting the Chip 16 On the bonding region 1223 includes, but is not limited to, a Chip On Film (COF) method and a COP (Chip On Pi) packaging method.

Specifically, the flat display area 1211 and the curved display area 1212 each include a light emitting unit and a driving signal line. The first inflection region 1221, the second inflection region 1222, and the bonding region 1223 each include traces. The inflection region 122. The chip 16 is electrically connected to the driving signal line of the display area 121 through the routing of the bending area 122, and then the driving signal line drives the light emitting unit to emit light, so as to drive the display area 121 to display a picture.

In some embodiments, the bonding area 1223 of the display panel 12 is bent to a side of the display area 121 thereof away from the display screen by a terminal bending process, so that the terminal 100 realizes full-screen display. After the display panel 12 is bent, the flat display area 1211 of the display area 121, the curved display area 1212 of the display area 121, the second bending area 1222 of the bending area 122, the first bending area 1221 of the bending area 122, and the binding area 1223 of the bending area 122 enclose an accommodating space 12c.

As shown in fig. 2, the display screen assembly 10 further includes a support structure 13 received in the receiving space 12c. A surface of one side of the support structure 13 is disposed opposite to the flat display area 1211 and the curved display area 1212, and a surface of the other side of the support structure 13 is disposed opposite to the first bending area 1221 and the binding area 1223. The second inflection region 1222 is not in contact with the supporting structure 13 at all, and a gap is formed between the second inflection region 1222 and the supporting structure 13 to prevent the supporting structure 13 from damaging the second inflection region 1222. The bending region 122 is supported by the supporting structure 13, so that the impact resistance of the display panel 12 can be prevented from being reduced due to the suspension state of the bending region 122, and the wires of the bending region 122 are not easy to break.

Specifically, the support structure 13 includes a first curved surface portion 131 and a first flat surface portion 132 connecting the first curved surface portion 131. The first plane part 132 extends from the first curved part 131 and is located between the plane display area 1211 and the binding area 1223, and two opposite sides of the first plane part 132 respectively abut against the plane display area 1211 and the binding area 1223. The bending direction of the first curved surface portion 131 is identical to the bending direction of the cover bending portion 111. The first curved surface portion 131 is not of uniform thickness. The first curved surface portion 131 is located between the curved display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221. The opposite sides of the first curved surface portion 131 respectively support the curved display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221. The profiles of the two opposite sides of the first curved surface portion 131 are respectively matched with the profiles of the curved surface display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221.

Since the first curved surface portion 131 of the supporting structure 13 is not of uniform thickness and it can take into account the contour of the film layer adjacent thereto, a stable support is formed. Thus, the stress of the bending region 122 can be effectively relieved, and meanwhile, the problem of assembly interference caused by profile difference is solved, and the supporting structure 13 is prevented from being separated from the film layer adjacent to the supporting structure. Moreover, particularly when the cover bending portion 111 has a large angle bending with respect to the cover flat portion 112, the supporting structure 13 is prevented from being separated from the film layer adjacent thereto.

In some embodiments, two surfaces of the first curved surface portion 131 that are respectively matched with the contours of the curved display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221 are both curved surfaces. The radius of curvature of the arc surface that fits the profile of the first inflection region 1221 is greater than the radius of curvature of the arc surface that fits the profile of the curved display region 1212. That is to say, the arc surface of the first curved surface portion 131 matched with the first bending area 1221 is more gradual, so as to further alleviate the stress concentration problem after the display panel 12 is bent.

In some embodiments, the first plane part 132 may be of uniform thickness, and the thickness of the first curved part 131 at each position is greater than that of the first plane part 132. I.e. locally thickened at the bending location of the support structure 13 to fill the gap between the two film layers immediately adjacent thereto. It will be appreciated that the profile shape of the opposite sides of the support structure 13 may be adjusted according to design and is not limited to the arc shape in fig. 2. Further, the first plane part 132 may be provided to be not uniform in thickness. In some embodiments, the thickness of the supporting structure 13 ranges from 0.1mm to 0.3mm, which can effectively save the space for bending the tail portion.

In some embodiments, the material of the supporting structure 13 is a hard material or a soft material. Hard materials include hard metals or hard plastics. Specifically, the material of the supporting structure 13 may be a hard metal with a certain strength, such as a steel sheet, a titanium sheet, a magnesium alloy, or the like, or a hard plastic, such as acryl, or a soft material, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyurethane, polymethyl methacrylate, foam rubber, or the like. In addition, adhesive layers 154 may be provided on opposite surfaces of the support structure 13, respectively, to provide adhesion to the film layers immediately adjacent thereto.

When the supporting structure 13 is made of a hard material (e.g., a stainless steel sheet), it may be in a bent and shaped state before the material is supplied, and a mark (e.g., a notch) may be provided at a boundary position between a flat portion and a curved portion of the supplied material of the supporting structure 13, so as to perform a fitting alignment and ensure a positional accuracy.

It should be noted that the boundary (as shown by the dotted line L1 in fig. 2) between the flat display 1211 and the curved display 121 in the display 121 is determined whether there is a certain curvature. The boundary between the display region 121 and the bending region 122, or the boundary between the curved display region 1212 and the second bending region 1222 (as shown by the dotted line L2 in fig. 2), is based on whether the picture can be displayed. The boundary (as indicated by the dashed line L4 in fig. 2) between the first bending area 1221 and the binding area 1223 is determined by whether there is a certain bending arc. However, the boundary between the first bending region 1221 and the second bending region 1222 is not strictly defined (as the dotted line L3 in fig. 2), at least the first bending region 1221 includes a portion opposite to the curved display region 1212, and the second bending region 1222 includes a portion bent in a U shape.

The end surface of the first curved portion 131 of the support structure 13 in fig. 2 defines the boundary (shown as a dashed line L3 in fig. 2) between the first inflection region 1221 and the second inflection region 1222. The second bending area 1222 is U-shaped, and the opening direction of the U-shape faces the end surface of the first curved surface portion 131 of the supporting structure 13.

As shown in fig. 2, the display screen assembly 10 further includes a first support layer 151. The first supporting layer 151 is disposed on a side of the display area 121 away from the cover plate 11 and between the display area 121 and the supporting structure 13. The first supporting layer 151 has a contour matching the contour of the display area 121, and at least fits the flat display area 1211 and the curved display area 1212.

Since the display panel 12 is flexible, the first supporting layer 151 can support the positions of the flat display area 1211 and the curved display area 1212 of the display panel 12, so as to flatten the display panel 12 and prevent the display panel 12 from curling.

As shown in fig. 2, the display screen assembly 10 further includes a second support layer 152. The second supporting layer 152 is disposed on a side of the bending region 122 close to the cover plate 11 and between the bending region 122 and the supporting structure 13. The second support layer 152 is adhered to a surface of one side of the support structure 13 by an adhesive layer 154. The profile of the second supporting layer 152 is matched with the profile of the bending region 122, and at least fits the first bending region 1221 and the binding region 1223.

Similarly, since the display panel 12 is flexible, the positions of the first bending area 1221 and the binding area 1223 of the display panel 12 can be supported by the second supporting layer 152, so that the display panel 12 is flattened and the display panel 12 is prevented from curling.

Specifically, the portion of the first supporting layer 151 attached to the curved display area 1212 and the portion of the second supporting layer 152 attached to the first bending area 1221 can also bear the stress generated when the display panel 12 is bent, so as to disperse the stress, thereby preventing the display panel 12 from being bent to be curled or broken. In addition, the first supporting layer 151 and the second supporting layer 152 are not in direct contact, and are spaced apart from each other at the second bending region 1222. Thus, the second bending area 1222 of the display panel 12 is bent gently to ensure the support of the display panel 12, and simultaneously, the stress concentration of the display panel 12 at the second bending area 1222 is avoided.

In some embodiments, the material of the first supporting layer 151 and the second supporting layer 152 may be polyimide, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethylene, or the like.

In some embodiments, the first support layer 151 and the second support layer 152 may be respectively attached to the display panel 12 by an adhesive (not shown). Adhesives are materials that bond two objects. In some embodiments, the adhesive may be a photo-curable adhesive or a thermal-curable adhesive, but is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 2, the display screen assembly 10 further includes a heat dissipation layer 153. The heat dissipation layer 153 is disposed between the first support layer 151 and the support structure 13. The heat dissipation layer 153 is bonded to the surface of the support structure 13 by an adhesive layer 154. The heat dissipation layer 153 is disposed corresponding to at least the flat display area 1211 and the curved display area 1212, and the heat dissipation layer 153 covers the display area 121 as much as possible to ensure maximum heat dissipation. Meanwhile, an air gap is formed between the heat dissipation layer 153 and the second bending region 1222, and the heat dissipation layer 153 is not in direct contact with the second bending region 1222, so as to avoid stress concentration of the second bending region 1222 of the display panel 12.

In some embodiments, the material of the heat dissipation layer 153 includes at least one of copper foil, polyimide, super Clean Foam (SCF), and a grid adhesive. When the heat dissipation layer 153 is an SCF heat dissipation material, the SCF can implement buffering and light-shielding functions, and can mainly implement heat dissipation, and since the SCF is a composite material that integrates the functions of light-shielding, heat dissipation, buffering, electromagnetic shielding, etc., not only the bonding process of the factory process is reduced, but also the thickness of the display screen assembly is facilitated to be reduced.

In fig. 2, the first planar portion 132 of the support structure 13 is in close contact with the planar portion of the heat dissipation layer 153, and the first curved portion 131 of the support structure 13 is in close contact with the curved portion of the heat dissipation layer 153. Furthermore, the first curved surface portion 131 of the support structure 13 is of a non-uniform thickness design, with a profile on one side matching the curvature of the heat dissipation layer 153 and a profile on the other side matching the curvature of the second support layer 152. Therefore, after the display panel 12 is bent, separation (peeling) between the supporting structure 13 and the heat dissipation layer 153 and between the supporting structure 13 and the second supporting layer 152 does not occur, and reliability of a product is improved.

In other embodiments, in the display panel assembly, the heat dissipation layer and the support structure can be made into a composite film layer having both heat dissipation function and support function, and the position of the composite film layer corresponding to the first bending region is designed into a structure with different thickness, so as to reduce one attaching process. Alternatively, the material of the support structure of the display panel assembly is a heat sink material, which does not include additional other heat sink layers.

In still other embodiments, the heat dissipation layer and the support structure are made into a composite film layer having both heat dissipation function and support function, and the composite film layer is designed to have a structure with different thickness corresponding to the position of the first bending region, but the display panel assembly may also include the heat dissipation layer between the first support layer and the composite film layer.

As shown in fig. 2, the display screen assembly 10 also includes a hold-down structure 14. The pressing structure 14 is disposed on a side of the bending region 122 away from the cover plate 11 to press the bending region 122, the supporting structure 13 and the display region 121, so as to fix and shape the display panel 12.

Specifically, the pressing structure 14 includes a second curved surface portion 141 and a second flat surface portion 142 connected to the second curved surface portion 141, the second curved surface portion 141 is disposed on a side of the first bending area 1221 away from the cover plate 11, and the second flat surface portion 142 is disposed on a side of the binding area 1223 away from the cover plate 11. The bending direction of the second curved surface portion 141 is identical to the bending direction of the cover bending portion 111. The second planar portion 142 of the compact 14 is bonded to the planar portion (the bonding region 1223) of the display panel 12 by the adhesive layer 154, and the second curved portion 141 of the compact 14 is bonded to the curved portion (the first bending region 1221) of the display panel 12 by the adhesive layer 154 to prevent separation between the various film layers on one side thereof (e.g., between the support structure 13 and the second support layer 152, and between the support structure 13 and the heat sink layer 153).

In fig. 2, the hold-down structure 14 is of uniform thickness to facilitate machining. In other embodiments, the compression structure 14 may also be of a non-uniform thickness design.

In some embodiments, the material of the compression structure 14 is a hard material. Hard materials include hard metals or hard plastics. Examples of the hard metal include steel sheet, titanium sheet, and magnesium alloy.

In some embodiments, the compression form 14 is bonded to the inflection zones 122 by an adhesive layer 154. It should be noted that the adhesive layer 154 between the compact form 14 and the fold 122, the adhesive layer 154 between the support form 13 and the second support layer 152, and the adhesive layer 154 between the support form 13 and the heat sink layer 153 may be the same or different materials. The adhesive layer 154 is made of, for example, but not limited to, one of epoxy resin adhesive, conductive adhesive, and mesh adhesive.

As shown in fig. 2, the display panel assembly 10 further includes a polarizer 156. The polarizer 156 is located between the cover plate 11 and the display region 121. The polarizer 156 is shaped to fit the cover 11, the flat display area 1211 and the curved display area 1212, and has a curved portion disposed on the cover bending portion 111 and a flat portion disposed on the cover flat portion 112. The curved portion corresponds to the curved display area 1212, and the flat portion corresponds to the flat display area 1211.

The boundary between the second bending region 1222 and the curved display region 1212 is defined as whether or not a screen can be displayed. In some embodiments, the boundary between the second bending region 1222 and the curved display region 1212 is defined by an end surface of the polarizer 156 disposed on the cover bending portion 111 (a dashed line L2 in fig. 2), but is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 2, the panel assembly 10 further includes a transparent optical Adhesive 155 (OCA) between the polarizer 156 and the cover plate 11. The OCA has the characteristics of colorless transparency, light transmittance of over 90 percent, good bonding strength, capability of being cured at room temperature or intermediate temperature, small curing shrinkage and the like, so that the OCA is very suitable for being used as a bonding material of the polarizer 156 and the cover plate 11.

In summary, the layers of the display panel assembly 10 are sequentially stacked from the front surface 11a of the cover plate 11 to the back surface thereof, including the cover plate 11, the transparent optical adhesive 155, the polarizer 156, the display area 121 of the display panel 12, the first supporting layer 151, the heat dissipation layer 153, the supporting structure 13, the second supporting layer 152, the bending area 122 of the display panel 12, and the pressing structure 14. Wherein the adhesive layers 154 are disposed between the press structure 14 and the display panel 12 on opposite sides of the support structure 13.

Because the display screen assembly 10 includes the supporting structure 13 and the pressing structure 14, the supporting structure 13 has a portion with different thickness, and the profiles of the two opposite sides of the supporting structure 13 are respectively matched with the profiles of the curved display area 1212 and the first bending area 1221, so that the display panel 12 is fixed after being bent by the terminal bending process, and meanwhile, the display panel 12 is uniformly stressed and has no stress concentration. Moreover, the supporting structure 13 is matched with the contour of the film layer adjacent to the supporting structure, so that the stress of the bending region 122 can be effectively relieved, and the problem of bending and wire breaking can be solved. In addition, two opposite surfaces of the supporting structure 13 are provided with bent cambered surfaces, instead of one surface deviating from the cover plate 11, the cambered surfaces are flat surfaces, and the thickness range of the supporting structure 13 is 0.1-0.3 mm, so that the tail part design space can be effectively saved.

Some embodiments of the present application also provide a method for manufacturing the display screen assembly 10, which includes: after the display panel 12 with the first and second supporting

layers

151 and 152 attached thereto is attached to the cover plate 11, the heat dissipation layer 153 is attached to the side of the first supporting layer 151 away from the display panel 12, and the supporting structure 13 is attached to the side of the heat dissipation layer 153. Then, the display panel 12 is reversely folded through the terminal bending process, so that the second supporting layer 152 is attached to the other side of the supporting structure 13, and the structural stability of one side of the heat dissipation layer 153 and the second supporting layer 152 is ensured through the supporting structure 13 with different thicknesses, and meanwhile, the bending form stability of the display panel 12 is ensured. Then, the pressing structure 14 is attached to the bending region 122 of the display panel 12 for setting.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
