Detailed Description
As used in this disclosure, "formed on … …," "formed on … …," and "disposed on … …" may mean that one layer is formed directly on or disposed on another layer, or that one layer is formed indirectly on or disposed on another layer, i.e., that other layers are present between the two layers.
It should be noted that although the terms "first," "second," etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, elements, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, elements, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used to distinguish one component, member, element, region, layer and/or section from another. Thus, for example, a first component, a first member, a first element, a first region, a first layer, and/or a first portion discussed below may be referred to as a second component, a second member, a second element, a second region, a second layer, and/or a second portion without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.
In this disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, the term "co-layer disposed" is used to mean that two layers, components, members, elements, or portions may be formed by the same manufacturing process (e.g., patterning process, etc.), and that the two layers, components, members, elements, or portions are generally formed of the same material. For example, the two or more functional layers are arranged in the same layer, meaning that the functional layers arranged in the same layer may be formed using the same material layer and the same manufacturing process, so that the manufacturing process of the display substrate may be simplified.
In the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, the expression "patterning process" generally includes the steps of coating of photoresist, exposure, development, etching, stripping of photoresist, and the like. The expression "one patterning process" means a process of forming a patterned layer, feature, component, etc. using a single mask.
The stretchable display is an important development direction in flexible display, and after the OLED display panel has the stretchable capability, the deformation of the multiaxial curved surface can be realized. In order to make the OLED display panel stretchable, there are two general design ideas:
one is that the material is intrinsically stretchable, the material used for the OLED display panel has the stretchable capability, but the disadvantage of the design is that the high-performance semiconductor devices used in the current driving technology all need a high-temperature process of at least 300 ℃, and the device with elasticity has no capability of driving a light-emitting structure;
the other is a structure stretchable, the light emitting structure and the driving structure of the OLED display panel keep a rigid structure, a movable space and an elastic connection structure are formed in the display area of the OLED display panel through an opening or the like, so that the OLED display panel has a stretchable capability, the stretchable structure can be called an island-bridge stretchable structure, the OLED display panel adopting the stretchable structure can be called an island-bridge stretchable display panel, wherein the island area comprises at least one sub-pixel area, the bridge area connecting adjacent island areas comprises the connection structure with the stretchable capability, and an opening area is formed between the adjacent island areas.
Currently, stretchable display panels of the commonly used island bridge structure include two structural designs:
a stretchable display panel adopting the island bridge structure of the structure comprises a display area and a frame area surrounding the display area, wherein, as shown in fig. 1, the display area of the stretchable display panel adopting the island bridge structure of the structure comprises a plurality of island areas 101, an open area 102 positioned between adjacent island areas 101 and a bridge area 103 connecting adjacent island areas 101, the island areas 101 comprise at least one sub-pixel area, for example, one island area 101 shown in fig. 1 comprises three sub-pixel areas 1011 of red, green and blue, and the bridge area 103 comprises a wiring 1031. When stretched in a plane perpendicular to the light emitting direction of the stretchable display panel (XY plane in fig. 1), the elastic bridge region 103 may deform in a plane perpendicular to the light emitting direction of the stretchable display panel (XY plane in fig. 1).
Another structure is a "paper-cut hole", and the stretchable display panel adopting the island bridge structure of the structure includes a display area and a frame area surrounding the display area, where, as shown in fig. 2, the display area of the stretchable display panel adopting the island bridge structure of the structure includes a plurality of island areas 201, an opening area 202 located between adjacent island areas 201, and a bridge area 203 connecting adjacent island areas 101, the island area 201 includes at least one sub-pixel area, for example, one island area 201 shown in fig. 2 includes three sub-pixel areas 2011 of red, green and blue, and the bridge area 203 includes a trace 2031. When stretched in a plane perpendicular to the light emitting direction of the stretchable display panel (XY plane in fig. 2), the elastic bridge region 203 can be deformed in a plane perpendicular to the light emitting direction of the stretchable display panel (XY plane in fig. 2).
In the preparation of the stretchable display module, it is necessary to apply a protective film to the light-emitting side and the backlight side of the stretchable display panel of the island structure by transparent optical adhesive, respectively. The inventor finds that when stretching is performed on a plane perpendicular to the light emitting direction of the stretchable display panel, the stretchable display panel with the island bridge structure provided with the openings deforms in the plane perpendicular to the light emitting direction of the stretchable display panel, and also generates rotary distortion deformation in the light emitting direction of the stretchable display panel.
In view of this, as shown in fig. 3, one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a stretchable display module including a stretchable display panel 301, a first protective film 303 bonded to a light-emitting side of the stretchable display panel 301 through a first adhesive layer 302, and a second protective film 305 bonded to a backlight side of the stretchable display panel 301 through a second adhesive layer 304, as shown in fig. 4, the stretchable display panel 301 includes a display region 3011 and a frame region 3012 surrounding the display region 3011;
wherein, the front projection of the first adhesive layer 302 on the stretchable display panel 301 is located at the frame area 3012, the front projection of the second adhesive layer 304 on the stretchable display panel 301 is located at the frame area 3012, and in fig. 4, the center positions of the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 are shown by a dashed line frame 401.
Thus, in the stretchable display module provided in this embodiment, the first adhesive layer 302 for adhering the first protective film 303 and the second adhesive layer 304 for adhering the second protective film 305 are respectively designed to correspond to the frame region 3012 of the stretchable display panel 301 without adhering to the display region 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301, and since the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 have a certain thickness, there is a certain gap between the display region 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 and the first protective film 303, and a certain gap is filled between the display region 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 and the second protective film 305, and a certain gap is filled with a medium such as air. Therefore, when the stretchable display panel 301 is stretched in a plane (XY plane in fig. 4) perpendicular to the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3), the first protective film 303 and the second protective film 305 can prevent the stretchable display panel 301 from being deformed in the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3), so that the deformation of the stretchable display panel 301 in the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3) can be prevented from contributing to the deformation of the plane (XY plane in fig. 4) perpendicular to the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3) of the stretchable display panel 301, thereby improving the stretching performance of the stretchable display module.
It is understood that, since the adhesive layer for bonding the first protective film 303 and the second protective film 305 corresponds to the frame region 3012 of the stretchable display panel 301, the material thereof is not limited to the transparent optical adhesive.
It should be noted that, if only the front projection of the first adhesive layer 302 on the stretchable display panel 301 is located in the frame area 3012 and the second adhesive layer is a transparent optical adhesive covering the stretchable display panel 301 entirely, stretching in a plane (XY plane in fig. 4) perpendicular to the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3) of the stretchable display panel 301 can be achieved, so that the first protective film 303 is prevented from inhibiting the deformation of the stretchable display panel 301 in the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3) to improve the stretching performance of the stretchable display module. Similarly, if only the orthographic projection of the second adhesive layer 304 on the stretchable display panel 301 is located in the frame area 3012 and the first adhesive layer is a transparent optical adhesive covering the stretchable display panel 301 entirely, stretching in a plane (XY plane in fig. 4) perpendicular to the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3) of the stretchable display panel 301 can be achieved, so that the deformation of the second protective film 305 in the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3) of the stretchable display panel 301 is prevented from being inhibited, and the stretching performance of the stretchable display module is improved.
In a specific example, the first protective film 303 and the second protective film 305 may be elastic protective films, respectively, and the materials may be selected from one or a combination of several materials such as Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), natural rubber, nitrile rubber, hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer (Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene, SEBS), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes, TPU), polyethylene naphthalate (Polyethylene Naphthalate, PEN), polyimide (Polyimide, PI), polyetherimide (PEI), polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET), or polyphenylene sulfide (Polyphenylene Sulfide, PPS), respectively. The material has good tensile properties, so that the first protective film 303 and the second protective film 305 can be ensured to have good tensile properties, and the tensile properties of the stretchable display module can be ensured.
In a specific example, the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 may be photo-curable adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, and the like, and may be optical adhesives of epoxy adhesives, benzoic acid adhesives, and the like.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 4, the display area 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 includes a plurality of island areas 30111, open areas (not shown) between adjacent island areas 30111, and bridge areas (not shown) connecting adjacent island areas 30111, the island areas 30111 including at least one sub-pixel area, for example, one island area 30111 shown in fig. 4 includes three sub-pixel areas 301111 of red, green and blue, and the bridge areas include wirings (not shown). The alternating arrangement in the display area of the middle portion of the stretchable display panel 301 shown in fig. 3, for example, shows that the island region, the bridge region, and the open region in the display area are each discontinuous structures.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, in the stretchable display module provided in this embodiment, the front projection of the first adhesive layer 302 on the stretchable display panel 301 surrounds the display area 3011, and the front projection of the second adhesive layer 304 on the stretchable display panel 301 surrounds the display area 3011.
Thus, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 respectively have a continuous ring shape surrounding the display area 3011, so that better adhesion, sealing and protection effects can be achieved.
In a possible implementation manner, in the stretchable display module provided in this embodiment, the minimum distance between the front projection of the first adhesive layer 302 on the stretchable display panel 301 and the display area 3011 is greater than 0.3mm.
For example, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, the minimum distance between the front projection of the first adhesive layer 302 on the stretchable display panel 301 and the display area 3011, that is, the minimum distance between the first adhesive layer 302 and the display area 3011 in the X direction, can avoid the blocking of the emergent light of the sub-pixel area by the first adhesive layer 302 due to the process error of the preparation position of the first adhesive layer 302 based on this implementation manner.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, in the stretchable display module provided in this embodiment, the front projection of the first adhesive layer 302 on the stretchable display panel 301 coincides with the front projection of the second adhesive layer 304 on the stretchable display panel 301. Thus, the stress uniformity of the first protective film 303 and the second protective film 305 on both sides of the stretchable display panel 301 during stretching can be improved, and the stretching performance of the stretchable display module can be further improved.
In one possible implementation manner, in the stretchable display module provided in this embodiment, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 302 is 5 μm to 400 μm, and the thickness of the second adhesive layer 304 is 5 μm to 400 μm, and it is understood that the thickness herein refers to the length in the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3) of the stretchable display panel 301, and for example, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 is, for example, 5 μm to 10 μm in the case where the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 are, respectively, coating adhesive layers, such as adhesives, and for example, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 is, for example, on the order of hundred micrometers in the order of 100 μm to 400 μm in the case where the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 are, respectively. The first and second adhesive layers 302 and 304 are each, for example, 5 μm, 7 μm, 10 μm, 100 μm, 250 μm or 400 μm in thickness, and in addition, the first and second protective films 303 and 305 may be provided to have the same thickness. Based on the above, the stress uniformity of the first protective film 303 and the second protective film 305 on both sides of the stretchable display panel 301 during stretching can be improved, and the stretching performance of the stretchable display module can be further improved.
In a possible implementation manner, in the stretchable display module provided in this embodiment, for example, as shown in fig. 5, a side of the first protection film 303 facing the stretchable display panel 301 is coated with a first coating 501 having a friction coefficient smaller than a preset value, and a side of the second protection film 305 facing the stretchable display panel 301 is coated with a second coating 502 having a friction coefficient smaller than a preset value.
For example, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, when the stretchable display panel 301 is stretched in a plane (XY plane in fig. 4) perpendicular to the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3), the stretchable display panel 301 is also deformed in the light emitting direction (Z direction in fig. 3), so that friction may occur between the display area 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 and the first protective film 303 and/or the second protective film 305, and such friction may affect the stretching performance of the stretchable display module. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the low friction coefficient coating layer can reduce the friction force of the friction, so as to reduce the influence of the friction on the tensile property of the tensile display module.
For example, in this implementation manner, the preset value is 0.5, that is, the first coating 501 and the second coating 502 are respectively low friction coefficient coatings with a friction coefficient less than 0.5, and may specifically be a silicone oil coating, a fluorocarbon coating, a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating, or the like.
For example, as shown in fig. 5, the first coating layer 501 is entirely coated on the side of the first protective film 303 facing the stretchable display panel 301, and the second coating layer 502 is entirely coated on the side of the second protective film 305 facing the stretchable display panel 301. In addition, it is also possible to apply the first coating layer to the region of the first protective film 303 corresponding to the display region 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 in front projection toward the stretchable display panel 301, and the second coating layer to the region of the second protective film 305 corresponding to the display region 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 in front projection toward the stretchable display panel 301, so that it is also possible to achieve reduction of friction force in which friction may occur between the display region 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 and the first protective film 303 and the second protective film 305.
In a possible implementation manner, in the stretchable display module provided in this embodiment, the first adhesive layer 302 and the second adhesive layer 304 are frame sealing adhesives, and the enclosed cavity formed by enclosing the first protective film 303, the first adhesive layer 302, the stretchable display panel 301, the second adhesive layer 304 and the second protective film 305 is filled with an organic solution.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, when the display region 3011 of the stretchable display panel 301 and the first protective film 303 are not bonded and have a certain gap, and air is filled in the gap or the gap forms an air layer, there is a possibility that a problem of light extraction occurs at the interface between the two because the refractive index of air is smaller than that of the stretchable display panel 301. In the present embodiment, the gap is filled with an organic solution with a high refractive index, such as a liquid optical adhesive, and the organic solution is close to the refractive index of the stretchable display panel 301, so that the light extraction problem can be reduced, and the organic solution can avoid the reaction between the solution and the OLED light emitting device to damage the device. For example, liquid optical adhesives, unlike conventional cured optical adhesives, have a viscosity of less than 400Cps, i.e., liquid optical adhesives do not form solids or elastomers, but rather are in liquid form. The liquid optical adhesive includes, for example, any one of silicone-based liquid optical adhesives and acrylic-based liquid optical adhesives.
