具体实施方式
为使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本公开实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
本公开实施例提供了一种支撑结构和显示装置。图1为本公开实施例提供的一种显示装置的结构示意图。如图1所示,该显示装置1可以包括:本公开实施例提供的支撑结构11、呈弯折状态的弯折结构12、显示面板13和壳体14。
弯折结构12的第一端与显示面板13的正面(即显示面板13的出光面)固定连接,弯折结构12的第二端位于显示面板13的背面,且弯折结构12的弯折处内侧形成有间隙。该第一端与该第二端是相对的两端。
壳体14至少包覆弯折结构12的弯折处。可选地,壳体14可以包括第一子壳体141和/或第二子壳体142。其中,第一子壳体141包覆弯折结构弯折至显示面板背面的部分;第二子壳体142包覆弯折结构的弯折处。
支撑结构11可以包括:支撑结构本体111和与该支撑结构本体111固定连接的固定件112。其中,支撑结构本体111位于弯折处内侧的间隙中,以支撑弯折结构12的弯折处。固定件112与壳体14固定连接,以使支撑结构11与壳体14固定连接。
相较于相关技术,由于支撑结构与壳体固定连接,使得支撑结构与壳体较难发生相对运动。并且,当显示装置发生弯折时,由于壳体与弯折结构的相对位置较难发生改变,使得支撑结构与弯折结构较难发生相对运动,降低了支撑结构本体碰撞弯折处的弯折结构的几率,降低了弯折结构在弯折处发生不良的几率,进而降低了显示装置出现显示不良的几率。
可选的,如图1所示,显示装置还可以包括:柔性电路板15。柔性电路板15可以包括:柔性电路板芯片本体151,及与该柔性电路板芯片本体151固定连接的柔性电路板出线等(未示出)。柔性电路板芯片本体151位于显示面板13的背面。显示面板13可以包括多个像素单元和与每个像素单元连接的导电线路。
此时,弯折结构12可以包括导电结构,即弯折结构12用于在显示面板与位于显示面板背面的结构之间传递电信号。例如,该导电结构可以连接柔性电路板出线与导电线路,以向像素单元传输来自柔性电路板15的驱动信号。该驱动信号用于供像素单元发光。这样一来,由于柔性电路板芯片本体位于显示面板的背面,无需占用显示面板正面的面积,因此,减小了显示面板中非显示区 域的面积。
在一种可实现方式中,如图2所示,显示装置还可以包括触控走线16。显示面板13的出光面上可以设置有多个触控电极。此时,触控走线16用于将触控电极与柔性电路板芯片本体151电连接,以将触控电极上的触控信号传输至柔性电路板芯片本体151。并且,显示装置1还可以包括:触控集成电路17,此时,柔性电路板芯片本体151可以将接收到的触控信号传输至触控集成电路17,以使该触控集成电路17对该触控信号进行处理。
其中,弯折结构12还可以包括:柔性基底。导电结构位于该柔性基底上。示例地,在制造显示面板的过程中,可以先在柔性基底的同一侧形成显示面板中模组结构和集成电路(如导电结构和柔性电路板芯片本体等),然后通过弯折柔性衬底,将集成电路弯折至显示面板的背面。这样一来,能够在减小显示面板正面中非显示区域的面积的基础上,简化显示装置的制造方法。
可选地,如图2所示,显示装置1还可以包括:中框18。中框18位于显示面板13和柔性电路板芯片本体151之间,且该中框18位于支撑结构本体111远离弯折处一端。该中框18与支撑结构11固定连接。例如,中框18与支撑结构本体111远离弯折处的一端固定连接。该中框18用于支撑显示面板和该柔性电路板芯片本体151。并且,中框18的材料可以为弹性材料,这样一来,当显示装置1从高处掉落时,中框18可以向显示面板提供缓冲力,以降低显示面板因与地面发生撞击而发生破损的几率。
如图2所示,显示装置1还可以包括:位于显示面板13发光侧的盖板19。该盖板19可以用于保护显示面板13。
示例的,该显示装置可以为:电子纸、手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
综上所述,在本公开实施例提供的显示装置中,由于显示装置包括支撑结构,支撑结构包括支撑结构本体和固定件,支撑结构本体位于弯折结构弯折处内侧的间隙中,固定件与壳体固定连接,使得支撑结构与壳体较难发生相对运动,相较于相关技术,当显示装置发生弯折时,由于壳体与弯折结构的相对位置较难发生改变,使得支撑结构与弯折结构较难发生相对运动,降低了支撑结构本体碰撞弯折处的弯折结构的几率,降低了弯折结构在弯折处发生不良的几率,进而降低了显示装置出现显示不良的几率。
图3至图5为本公开实施例提供的一种支撑结构的结构示意图。如图1至图5所示,该支撑结构11可以包括:支撑结构本体111,及与支撑结构本体111固定连接的固定件112。
支撑结构本体被配置为:位于显示装置1的弯折结构12弯折处内侧的间隙中。其中,弯折结构12的第一端与显示装置1中显示面板13的正面固定连接,弯折结构12的第二端位于显示面板13的背面,且该第一端与第二端是相对的两端。
固定件112被配置为:与靠近弯折处的壳体14固定连接。该壳体14至少包覆弯折结构12的弯折处。
综上所述,本公开实施例提供的支撑结构包括支撑结构本体和固定件,且支撑结构本体位于弯折结构弯折处内侧的间隙中,固定件与壳体固定连接,使得支撑结构与壳体较难发生相对运动,相较于相关技术,当显示装置发生弯折时,由于壳体与弯折结构的相对位置较难发生改变,使得支撑结构与弯折结构较难发生相对运动,降低了支撑结构本体碰撞弯折处的几率,降低了弯折结构在弯折处发生不良的几率,进而降低了显示装置出现显示不良的几率。
可选地,支撑结构中固定件与壳体可以通过多种可实现方式实现固定连接,下面以以下几种为例进行说明。
在第一种可实现方式中,固定件可以包括:至少一个第一固定件,该至少第一固定件被配置为:与第一子壳体141固定连接。
该第一固定件的设置位置可以根据应用需求确定。在第一种情况中,该至少一个第一固定件可以位于支撑结构本体111的第一表面上。其中,该第一表面为支撑结构本体的表面中除用于支撑弯折结构外的表面。
如图4至图6所示,该第一表面可以为支撑结构本体111的侧面,即第一固定件112a位于支撑结构本体111的侧面,且第一固定件112a被配置为:与第一子壳体141固定连接。此时,第一固定件112a的延伸方向X1与支撑结构本体111的延伸方向X2交叉。
其中,第一固定件的延伸方向X1可以为第一固定件112a的最大边长所在的方向,支撑结构本体111的延伸方向X2可以为支撑结构本体111的最大边长所在的方向。如图5所示,第一固定件112a的最大边长为:方向沿第一固定件112a的第三端D3指向第一固定件112a第四端D4的边长,其中,该第三端D3用于与支撑结构本体111固定连接,该第四端D4用于与第一子壳体141固定连 接。如图4和图6所示,支撑结构本体111的最大边长为:方向沿支撑结构本体111靠近弯折处的第一端D1指向支撑结构本体111远离弯折处的第二端D2的边长。图5为图4中支撑结构在AA’位置处的示意图,且图4至图6均为第一固定件112a的延伸方向X1与支撑结构本体111的延伸方向X2垂直的示意图。
在第二种情况中,该至少一个第一固定件可以位于支撑结构本体111的第二表面上。其中,该第二表面朝向弯折结构12弯折至显示面板13的背面的部分。
如图7至图9所述,第一固定件112a位于支撑结构本体111的第二表面M上,且第一固定件112a被配置为:与第一子壳体141固定连接。第一固定件112a的延伸方向X3与支撑结构本体111的延伸方向X2交叉。其中,第一固定件112a的延伸方向X3可以为第一固定件112a的最大边长所在的方向。
如图8所示,第一固定件112a的最大边长可以为:方向沿第一固定件112a的第五端D5指向第一固定件112a第六端D6的边长,其中,该第五端D5用于与支撑结构本体111固定连接,该第六端D6用于与第一子壳体固定连接。
其中,图8为图7中支撑结构在BB’位置处的示意图,且图7和图8均为第一固定件112a的延伸方向X3与支撑结构本体111的延伸方向X2垂直的示意图。
可选地,第一固定件112a可以为条状结构,此时,第一固定件112a的延伸方向可以为该呈条状的第一固定件112a的长所在的方向。且支撑结构本体111也可以为条状结构,此时,支撑结构本体111的延伸方向可以为该呈条状的支撑结构本体111的长所在的方向。并且,本公开实施例中的条状结构可以为线性条状结构。或者,本公开实施例中的条状结构还可以为非线性条状结构,例如,可以为波浪形的条状结构或锯齿形的条状结构等。
进一步地,支撑结构本体111具有至少一对相对的第一表面,固定件112可以包括:多个第一固定件112a。此时,该多个第一固定件112a可以对称设置在该至少一对相对的第一表面中部分或全部第一表面上。由于位于每个第一表面上的多个第一固定件112a均能够与第一子壳体141固定连接,提高了支撑结构本体111与第一子壳体141连接的稳定性,进一步降低了支撑结构本体111的位置相对于第一子壳体141发生相对运动的几率。
示例地,如图4所示,固定件112可以包括两个第一固定件112a,支撑结构本体111具有一对相对的第一表面,该相对的第一表面为第一表面Q1和第一表面Q2,此时,一个第一固定件112a位于第一表面Q1上,另一个第一固定件 112a位于第一表面Q2上。
并且,当第一固定件在支撑结构本体111的表面上的位置不同时,第一固定件与第一子壳体实现连接的实现方式不同。例如,当第一固定件112a在第一子壳体141上的正投影位于弯折结构12在第一子壳体141上的正投影外时,第一固定件112a可以经由弯折结构12的侧面延伸至第一子壳体141,并与第一子壳体141固定连接。当第一固定件112a在第一子壳体141上的正投影与弯折结构12在第一子壳体141上正投影存在重叠区域时,弯折结构12上可以设置有过孔,第一固定件112a可以穿过弯折结构12上的过孔,并与第一子壳体141固定连接。
可选地,第一固定件112a与第一子壳体141固定连接的方式可以有多种,如可以为胶粘连接和/或卡接等方式。示例地,如图6所示,第一子壳体141可以具有凹槽,每个第一固定件112a可以卡接在一个凹槽内。这样一来,在凹槽内壁的阻挡下,第一固定件112a与第一子壳体141较难发生相对运动,进而使得支撑结构本体111与第一子壳体141较难发生相对运动。
其中,第一固定件112a用于与凹槽卡接的一端的外形可以与凹槽的内壁所围成的形状互补。或者,第一固定件112a在至少一个方向上的尺寸可以与凹槽的内壁在对应方向上的尺寸相同。例如,该至少一个方向可以为垂直于第一固定件112a延伸方向X1的方向。
在第二种可实现方式中,固定件可以包括:至少一个第二固定件,该至少一个第二固定件被配置为:与所述第二子壳体固定连接。
该第二固定件的设置位置可以根据应用需求确定。例如,该第二固定件位于支撑结构本体朝向弯折处的第三表面上。如图1、图10至图13所示,第二固定件112b位于支撑结构本体111朝向弯折处的第三表面D1,且第二固定件112b被配置为:与第二子壳体142固定连接。
此时,支撑结构本体111与第二子壳体142较难发生相对运动。并且,由于第二固定件112b位于支撑结构本体朝向弯折处的第三表面D1,在第二子壳体142的阻挡下,第二固定件112b较难向靠近第二子壳体142的方向运动,进而使得支撑结构本体111较难向靠近第二子壳体142的方向运动,进一步降低了支撑结构本体111碰撞弯折处的几率。
可选地,第二固定件112b在第三表面D1的设置位置可以有多种情况,本公开实施例将以以下三种情况为例进行说明。
在第一种情况中,固定件112可以包括:多个第二固定件112b,该多个第二固定件112b可以分别位于第三表面D1的两端,且该第三表面D1的两端在第二子壳体142上的正投影与弯折结构12在第二子壳体142上的正投影不重叠。
当支撑结构11具有多个第二固定件112b时,该多个第二固定件112b中的一部分可以位于该两端中的一端,另一部分可以位于该两端中的另一端。示例地,请参考图10,固定件112可以包括两个第二固定件112b,一个第二固定件112b位于第三表面D1的左端,另一个第二固定件112b位于第三表面D1的右端。
在第二种情况中,固定件112可以包括:至少一个第二固定件112b,该至少一个第二固定件112b位于第三表面D1的中间区域,该中间区域在第二子壳体142上的正投影与弯折结构12在第二子壳体142上的正投影存在重叠区域。
并且,当固定件112包括多个第二固定件112b时,该多个第二固定件112b可以等间距分布在第三表面D1的中间区域。这样一来,多个第二固定件112b受到的力能够较均衡,支撑结构本体可以均匀地支撑弯折处。进一步降低了支撑结构本体111与第二子壳体142发生相对运动的几率。示例地,如图11所示,固定件112可以包括三个第二固定件112b,该三个第二固定件112b等间距分布在第三表面D1的中间区域。
在第三种情况中,固定件112可以包括:多个第二固定件112b,该多个第二固定件112b分别位于第三表面D1的两端和第三表面D1的中间区域。
多个第二固定件112b中的一部分可以位于支撑结构本体111第三表面D1两侧中的一端,一部分可以位于支撑结构本体111第三表面D1两侧中的另一端,还有一部分可以位于支撑结构本体111第三表面D1的中间区域。例如,多个第二固定件112b可以等间距地分布在该第三表面D1上,即该多个第二固定件112b可以沿直线均匀分布在该第三表面D1上。此时,相邻第二固定件112b之间的距离较小,即相邻两个第二固定件112b在支撑结构本体111第三表面D1上的跨度较小,能够减小支撑结构本体111靠近弯折处的部分被压弯的几率,因此,支撑结构本体11能够有效的支撑弯折处,进一步降低了弯折处被破坏的几率。
示例地,请参考图12,固定件112包括三个第二固定件112b,第一个第二固定件112b位于支撑结构本体111第三表面D1的左端,第二个第二固定件112b位于支撑结构本体111第三表面D1的右端,第三个第二固定件112b位于支撑结构本体111第三表面D1的中间区域。第三个第二固定件112b与第一个第二 固定件112b之间的距离P1,等于第三个第二固定件112b与第二个第二固定件112b之间的距离P2,此时,该三个第二固定件112b等间距分布在支撑结构本体111的第三表面D1。可选地,距离P1也可以不等于距离P2,本公开实施例对此不做限定。
在该第二种可实现方式中,当第二固定件112b在第二子壳体142上的正投影与弯折结构12在第二子壳体142上的正投影不存在重叠区域时,第二固定件112b可以经由弯折结构12的侧面延伸至第二子壳体142,并与第二子壳体142固定连接。当第二固定件112b在第二子壳体142上的正投影与弯折结构12在第二子壳体142上的正投影存在重叠区域时,弯折结构12上可以设置有过孔,第二固定件112b可以穿过弯折结构12上的过孔,并与第二子壳体142固定连接。
需要说明的是,当弯折结构12包括导电结构时,在设计该弯折结构12时,导电结构需要在开设过孔的位置处避空,即将导电结构中避开过孔,以确保导电结构能够正常使用。可选地,在制造显示装置时,可以预先设计好过孔的尺寸和开设位置;并根据弯折结构12上过孔的尺寸确定支撑结构11中第二固定件112b的尺寸,根据弯折结构上过孔的开设位置确定支撑结构11中第二固定件112b在第三表面D1的位置。
可选地,第二固定件112b与第二子壳体142固定连接的方式可以有多种,如可以为胶粘连接和/或卡接等方式。示例地,请参考图13,第二子壳体142可以具有凹槽,第二固定件112b与凹槽的内壁固定连接。这样一来,在第二固定件112b与凹槽的内壁固定连接后,在凹槽内壁的阻挡下,第二固定件112b较难向靠近第二子壳体142的方向运动,进而使得支撑结构本体111较难向靠近第二子壳体142的方向运动。
需要说明的是,上述几种可实现方式可以相互组合。示例地,可以将第一种可实现方式中的第一种情况与第二种可实现方式进行组合,即一部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第一表面,另一部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第三表面;或者,可以将第一种可实现方式中的第一种情况与第一种可实现方式中的第二种情况进行组合,即一部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第一表面,另一部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第二表面上;或者,还可以将第二种可实现方式与第一种可实现方式中的第二种情况进行组合,即一部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第三表面,另一部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第二表面上;或者,还可以 将第一种可实现方式中的第一种情况、第二种可实现方式和第一种可实现方式中的第二种情况进行组合,即部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第一表面,部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第三表面,部分固定件位于支撑结构本体的第二表面上。
另外,设置在不同表面上的固定件与壳体的连接方式也不限于前述内容中描述的固定方式。例如,设置在第一表面上的固定件也可以与第二子壳体连接,或者,设置在第三表面上的固定件也可以与第一子壳体固定连接,本公开实施对其不做具体限定。
可选地,显示装置还可以包括:位于支撑结构本体111远离弯折处一端的中框。支撑结构本体远离弯折处的第二端可以与中框固定连接。并且,支撑结构本体与中框固定连接的方式可以具有多种,如胶粘连接和/或卡接等方式。
在一种可实现方式中,如图14所示,支撑结构本体111的第二端可以与中框18靠近支撑结构本体111的一端固定连接,此时,支撑结构本体111的第二端D2可以具有第一阶梯状结构,中框18靠近支撑结构本体111的一端可以具有第二阶梯状结构,且该第二阶梯状与该第一阶梯相互匹配,通过该第一阶梯状结构与该第二阶梯状结构互相咬合,可以实现该支撑结构本体111与中框18的固定连接。
在另一种可实现方式中,如图15和图16所示,支撑结构本体111的第二端D2可以具有至少一个条形连接件113,中框18靠近支撑结构本体的一端具有与条形连接件113相匹配的凹槽,条形连接件113与该匹配的凹槽的内壁固定连接。
可选地,请参考图6,支撑结构本体111靠近弯折处的表面的外轮廓可以呈弧形,即支撑结构本体111的第三表面D1的外轮廓呈弧形。这样可以减小该第三表面D1在与弯折结构12接触时对该弯折结构12造成损伤的几率。
支撑结构本体靠近弯折处一端的厚度可以大于支撑结构本体远离弯折处一端的厚度。这样一来,支撑结构本体靠近弯折处一端的刚性较大,使得该支撑结构本体靠近弯折处一端在外力的作用下不容易发生变形,进一步提高了支撑结构本体支撑弯折结构的效果。
支撑结构本体的材质可以为金属材质,如铁、钢等材质。当支撑结构本体的材质为钢时,由于钢的成本较低,使得支撑结构本体的成本也较低。示例地,当支撑结构本体的材质为钢时,支撑结构本体还可以称为钢片。
综上所述,本公开实施例提供的支撑结构包括支撑结构本体和固定件,且支撑结构本体位于弯折结构弯折处内侧的间隙中,固定件与壳体固定连接,使得支撑结构与壳体较难发生相对运动,相较于相关技术,当显示装置发生弯折时,由于壳体与弯折结构的相对位置较难发生改变,使得支撑结构与弯折结构较难发生相对运动,降低了支撑结构本体碰撞弯折处的几率,降低了弯折结构在弯折处发生不良的几率,进而降低了显示装置出现显示不良的几率。
本公开实施例提供了一种支撑结构的制造方法,该方法可以用于制造上述实施例中的支撑结构,如图17所示,该支撑结构的制造方法可以包括:
步骤1901、提供一板状结构。
步骤1902、在板状结构的一端开设至少一个槽口,使得开槽后的板状结构被划分为板状结构本体和与板状结构本体连接的至少两个子结构,且每相邻两个子结构被一个槽口隔开。
步骤1903、将至少一个子结构沿第一折线对折,得到支撑结构本体及与支撑结构本体固定连接的固定件,其中,对折后的至少一个子结构与板状结构本体构成支撑结构本体。
可选地,步骤1903的实现过程可以包括:先将至少一个子结构沿第一折线对折,得到支撑结构本体;然后将其他子结构沿第二折线对折,得到固定件,其他子结构为至少两个子结构中除至少一个子结构外的子结构。
由于支撑结构本体包括由至少一个子结构沿第一折线对折后形成的部分,使得该对折处可以呈弧形,当将该外轮廓呈弧形的一端设置在靠近弯折处时,可以减小该外轮廓呈弧形的一端在与弯折结构接触时,对该弯折结构造成损伤的几率。
并且,由于支撑结构本体包括由至少一个子结构沿第一折线对折后形成的部分,使得该部分处的支撑结构本体具有较大的厚度,进而增大了支撑结构本体的刚性,这样一来,支撑结构本体在外力的作用下不容易发生变形,进而提高了支撑结构本体支撑弯折结构的效果。
下面分别以制造图4、图10和图12中的支撑结构为例,对上述步骤进行简单说明。具有其他形状的支撑结构的制造方法可以参考图4、图10和图12中的支撑结构的制造方法,本公开实施例在此不做赘述。

当制造如图12所示的支撑结构时,在提供如图22所示的板状结构W后,可以对板状结构W沿图22中虚线进行切割,以在板状结构W的一端形成四个槽口,得到如图23所示的结构。该结构包括板状结构本体31、以及位于板状结构本体31一端的三个第五子结构325和两个第六子结构326,相邻的两个第五子结构325之间存在一个第六子结构326。然后,将每个第六子结构326沿第一折线L1对折,以得到如图12所示的支撑结构本体111,并将每个第五子结构325沿第二折线L2对折,以得到如图12所示的三个第二固定件112b,进而得到如图12所示的支撑结构11。
综上所述,在本公开实施例提供的支撑结构的制造方法中,制造的支撑结构包括支撑结构本体和固定件,且支撑结构本体位于弯折结构弯折处内侧的间隙中,固定件与壳体固定连接,使得支撑结构与壳体较难发生相对运动,相较于相关技术,当显示装置发生弯折时,由于壳体与弯折结构的相对位置较难发生改变,使得支撑结构与弯折结构较难发生相对运动,降低了支撑结构本体碰撞弯折处的几率,降低了弯折结构在弯折处发生不良的几率,进而降低了显示装置出现显示不良的几率。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例提供的支撑结构的制造方法实施例能够与相应的支撑结构实施例相互参考,本公开实施例对此不做限定。本公开实施例提 供的方法实施例步骤的先后顺序能够进行适当调整,步骤也能够根据情况进行相应增减,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化的方法,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内,因此不再赘述。
