In order to improve fineness and expressiveness of the external appearance of the terminal device, the flexible display device 3 is encapsulated by the encapsulation 4. However, since the surface of the package 4 is higher than the surface of the flexible display device 3, the package 4 is disadvantageous to the lightness and thinness of the terminal apparatus.

The disclosed embodiment provides a flexible screen packaging structure. As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the flexible screen packaging structure may include a middle frame 1 and a package 4, wherein:

the bezel 1 is used for mounting a flexible display device 3. The middle frame 1 has a recess 2. One or more ends of the flexible display device 3 are located in the recess 2 of the middle frame 1. The package member 4 is provided to the center frame 1 for packaging the flexible display device 3.

According to the flexible screen packaging structure of the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the end portion of the flexible display device 3 is located in the recessed portion 2, the height of the end portion of the flexible display device 3 is reduced, and then the height of the package 4 for packaging the end portion of the flexible display device 3 is reduced, which is beneficial to the lightening and thinning of the terminal device.

The following describes each component of the flexible screen package structure according to the embodiment of the present disclosure in detail:

as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the middle frame 1 is used for mounting a flexible display device 3. Wherein the middle frame 1 may comprise a substrate 5, the flexible display device 3 may be mounted to the substrate 5. In particular, the flexible display device 3 may cover one side of the substrate 5. The substrate 5 may be provided with a hinge area 6 for mounting a hinge for facilitating folding of the flexible screen package. The substrate 5 may be rectangular, but not limited thereto, and may also be other shapes. The material of the substrate 5 may be plastic to reduce the weight of the flexible screen packaging structure. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the substrate 5 may also comprise other materials, which are not listed here. The size of the substrate 5 is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the flexible display device 3 may include a display module. The display module may include a light emitting layer, and of course, may further include a metal sheet, a polarizer, a touch panel, and a cover plate. The metal sheet may be provided on one side of the substrate 5. The light-emitting layer may be provided on the side of the metal sheet remote from the substrate 5. The polarizer can be arranged on one side of the luminescent layer far away from the metal sheet. The touch panel can be arranged on one side of the polaroid, which is far away from the light-emitting layer. The cover plate can be arranged on one side of the touch panel, which is far away from the polaroid. The material of the light emitting layer may include an organic electroluminescent material. The material of the metal sheet may comprise steel, but may of course also comprise other metal materials. The material of the cover plate may include polyimide, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and it may also include other materials. In addition, the cover plate may be bonded to the touch panel by a transparent optical adhesive. The touch panel may be adhered to the polarizer by a transparent optical adhesive. As shown in fig. 7, in an embodiment, a terminal device having the flexible screen packaging structure and the flexible display apparatus 3 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be folded inward such that the folded flexible display apparatus 3 is located inside. In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, a terminal device having the flexible screen packaging structure and the flexible display apparatus 3 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be folded outward such that the folded flexible display apparatus 3 is located outside.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the middle frame 1 includes a recess 2. The recess 2 may have a bar structure. The end of the flexible display device 3 is located in the recess 2, that is, the end of the flexible display device 3 covers the inner surface of the recess 2, so as to reduce the height of the end of the flexible display device 3. Further, the end of the flexible display device 3 may be the end of the display module, that is, the end of the light emitting layer, the end of the metal sheet, the end of the polarizer, the end of the touch panel, and the end of the cover plate are all located in the recess 2. Furthermore, the end of the flexible display device 3 may be a side of the flexible display device 3. The concave portion 2 is formed in the area of the substrate 5 corresponding to the end of the flexible display device 3, so that the end of the flexible display device 3 covering the substrate 5 can extend into the concave portion 2, thereby reducing the height of the end of the flexible display device 3. The number of the concave parts 2 is two, and the concave parts are distributed on two sides of the rotating shaft in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The flexible display device 3 has two opposite ends and is located in the two recesses 2 in a one-to-one correspondence. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of the concave portions 2 may also be other values, which are not stated herein. The two recesses 2 may be identical in shape, but of course, they may also be different. The inner surface of the recess 2 is connected in a smooth transition to the surface of the base 5 in the region outside the recess 2, but it may of course also be connected in a non-smooth transition. The recess 2 may have a flaring structure, but the disclosed embodiment is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the substrate 5 may include a first protrusion 8 and two second protrusions 7. The first protrusion 8 and the two second protrusions 7 are distributed along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, and the two second protrusions 7 are distributed on both sides of the first protrusion 8, so that one concave portion 2 is formed between the first protrusion 8 and one second protrusion 7, and another concave portion 2 is formed between the first protrusion 8 and the other second protrusion 7. The shaft region 6 can be disposed on the first protrusion 8, so that the two recesses 2 are located on two sides of the shaft. The flexible display device 3 can cover the first protrusion 8, and two opposite ends of the flexible display device 3 are located in the two recesses 2 in a one-to-one correspondence. The inner surface of each recess 2 is in smooth transition with the surface of the first protrusion 8 facing the flexible display device 3. Furthermore, the cross section of the first protrusion 8 may be rectangular, but of course, may also be square, which is not listed here. The cross section of the second protrusion 7 may be rectangular, but not limited thereto, and may also be square or other shapes. The cross-sections of the two second protrusions 7 may be identical, but, of course, also different. The area of the cross section of the first protrusion 8 is larger than the area of the cross section of any one of the second protrusions 7. For example, the cross sections of the two second protrusions 7 are rectangular, and the areas thereof are the same; the first protrusion 8 has a rectangular cross section and has an area larger than that of the second protrusion 7. The cross section of the first protrusion 8 gradually decreases along the direction close to the flexible display device 3, and the two second protrusions 7 both have uniform cross sections, so that the cross sections of the two concave portions 2 gradually increase along the direction close to the flexible display module, i.e. the shape of a flaring. The height of the two second protrusions 7 may be the same, but, of course, may also be different. The height of both second protrusions 7 is lower than the height of the first protrusions 8.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the package 4 is used to package the flexible display device 3. Specifically, the encapsulation 4 is used to encapsulate the end of the flexible display device 3, i.e., to encapsulate the side of the flexible display device 3. Since the end portion of the flexible display device 3 is located in the recess 2, the height of the end portion of the flexible display device 3 is reduced, and the height of the package 4 for packaging the end portion of the flexible display device 3 is reduced, which is beneficial to thinning the terminal device. The number of the encapsulation members 4 may be two, and one-to-one correspondence is used to encapsulate opposite ends of the flexible display device 3. Each package 4 may comprise a first 9 and a second 10 package face which are adjacent. The surface of the flexible display device 3 facing away from the substrate 5 at the portion of the recess 2 cooperates with the first package face 9. The second protrusion 7 abuts against the second package face 10. Since the height of the second bump 7 is lower than the height of the first bump 8, the height of the package 4 with respect to the first bump 8 can be reduced. Furthermore, the side of the package 4 facing the substrate 5 is provided with a protrusion 11. The protruding portion 11 is clamped on a side of the second protrusion 7 facing away from the recess 2, so that the end of the flexible display device 3 can be better encapsulated by the encapsulation member 4. The side of the encapsulation 4 facing away from the substrate 5 is planar and flush with the surface of the flexible display device 3 facing away from the substrate 5. Taking the recessed portion 2 having a bar structure as an example, the package 4 may have a bar structure. The material of the package 4 may be metal. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the material of the package 4 may also be other substances such as plastic, and is not stated herein. The size of the package 4 is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, as shown in fig. 2 to 6, the middle frame 1 includes a substrate 5, and the substrate 5 includes a first protrusion 8 and two second protrusions 7. The first protrusion 8 may be provided with a pivot region 6. The spindle region 6 is used for mounting a spindle. The first protrusion 8 and the two second protrusions 7 are distributed along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, and the two second protrusions 7 are distributed on both sides of the first protrusion 8, so that one concave portion 2 is formed between the first protrusion 8 and one second protrusion 7, and another concave portion 2 is formed between the first protrusion 8 and the other second protrusion 7. The two second protrusions 7 are the same in height and are each lower than the first protrusion 8. The flexible display device 3 covers the first protrusion 8, and two opposite ends of the flexible display device 3 cover the inner surfaces of the two concave portions 2 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The cross sections of the first protrusion 8 and the two second protrusions 7 are both rectangular, and the two second protrusions 7 have uniform cross sections, and the cross section of the first protrusion 8 is gradually reduced along the direction close to the flexible display device 3. The two packing members 4 pack opposite ends of the flexible display device 3 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each package 4 has a first package face 9 and a second package face 10. The surface of the flexible display device 3 facing away from the substrate 5 at the portion of the recess 2 cooperates with the first package face 9. The second protrusion 7 abuts against the second package face 10.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a terminal device, which may include the flexible screen packaging structure according to any of the above embodiments. Of course, the terminal device may also comprise a flexible display means 3. The flexible display device 3 is mounted to the middle frame 1 with one or more ends of the flexible display device 3 located in the recess 2. The terminal may further include a power supply. The power supply may be provided at a side of the middle frame 1 facing away from the flexible display device 3. The terminal device may be a mobile phone, but not limited thereto, and may also be a tablet computer or the like. The flexible screen packaging structure in the terminal device of the embodiment of the present disclosure is the same as the flexible screen packaging structure in the embodiment of the flexible screen packaging structure, and has the same beneficial effects, which are not described herein again.

As shown in fig. 4, the flexible display device 3 in the terminal equipment may include a display module. The display module may include a light emitting layer, and of course, may further include a metal sheet, a polarizer, a touch panel, and a cover plate. The metal sheet may be provided on one side of the substrate 5. The light-emitting layer may be provided on the side of the metal sheet remote from the substrate 5. The polarizer can be arranged on one side of the luminescent layer far away from the metal sheet. The touch panel can be arranged on one side of the polaroid, which is far away from the light-emitting layer. The cover plate can be arranged on one side of the touch panel, which is far away from the polaroid. The material of the light emitting layer may include an organic electroluminescent material. The material of the metal sheet may comprise steel, but may of course also comprise other metal materials.
