技术领域
本申请涉及终端技术领域,尤其涉及到一种柔性显示盖板、柔性显示模组和柔性显示装置。
背景技术
更大的屏幕和更好的显示效果一直是便携智能电子产品追求的目标。过去十年,智能手机厂商通过取消实体键盘、用屏幕指纹取代Home键和压缩前置摄像头等方式不断增加屏占比,目前有些智能手机的全面屏的屏占比已经超过92%。继续通过缩小中框宽度等方式能够提高的屏占比已经非常有限。就在2018年某些厂商先后推出了采用柔性OLED屏幕的可折叠手机原型机,突破了原来直板手机设计的思路,即将成为新的手机发展趋势。可折叠手机折叠后只有传统手机大小(5-6英寸),方便随身携带,而打开后却可以有平板的显示尺寸(7-8英寸)。可折叠手机一经发布就受到了广泛关注,各大手机厂商也都在紧锣密鼓地优化完善设计方案,推动可折叠手机的量产化。除了可折叠屏手机,柔性OLED屏幕在其它柔性穿戴设备、可折叠电脑等柔性电子设备上也具有巨大的应用前景。
直板手机毫米级厚度的玻璃盖板不能随柔性OLED屏幕一起弯折,因此不能直接用做可折叠手机屏幕的显示盖板。目前在柔性显示盖板的设计方案中,主要是采用透明的高分子薄膜作为盖板保护显示模组的显示屏,如聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)或聚酰亚胺(PI)塑料薄膜。PET和PI的柔韧性都非常好,弯折极限可达到R1。但高分子透明薄膜材料不具备传统玻璃盖板的一些优异性能。首先高分子薄膜表面硬度比玻璃低很多,只能通过外层涂覆透明硬化涂层(hard coats)来提高盖板的防刮和耐磨能力。其次高分子盖板模量低,无法对显示模组提供强有力的保护,而且由于高分子材料的黏弹性本质,在长时间静态弯折或者多次动态弯折后,高分子盖板会发生蠕变,难以完全恢复最初的状态。另外,高分子材料易老化疲劳,在多次弯折之后会存在一定的折痕和一定几率的疲劳断裂。
玻璃如果能够具备良好的弯折性能,或许可以成为更好的柔性屏盖板材料。超薄玻璃(UTG)就是一种既具备良好弯折性能,又在一定程度上保留了玻璃高模量、高硬度、高强度和高透过率等优异性能的潜力盖板材料。目前超薄玻璃的厚度可以做到0.03mm~0.15mm,弯折极限可达R2,常温下也不存在明显的蠕变现象。使用UTG做盖板材料也存在一些问题,主要的问题是UTG厚度降低导致的可靠性下降,容易在冲撞过程中发生脆性碎裂,也容易在划伤后产生裂纹。因此需要对UTG的表面进行一定的保护,提高其抗刮花、抗冲击和抗碎裂能力。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种包含超薄玻璃的柔性显示盖板、柔性显示模组和柔性显示装置,以解决或者改善高分子膜组成的柔性显示盖板在使用过程中易起拱、有折痕、易疲劳断裂、出现彩虹纹等问题,同时提高柔性显示盖板抗刮花、抗冲击和抗碎裂能力。
第一方面,本申请提供了一种柔性显示盖板,该柔性显示盖板用于覆盖柔性显示模组中的柔性屏。该柔性显示模组应用于柔性显示装置,具有可弯折性。上述柔性显示盖板包括至少两层叠置的结构,分别为玻璃层和硬化层。其中,玻璃层通过光学透明胶(OCA)和光学透明树脂(OCR)等连接在所述柔性显示屏上,硬化层位于玻璃层远离柔性屏的一侧,即位于玻璃层的外侧。硬化层具有较好的硬度和强度,可以保护玻璃层,减少柔性显示盖板被划伤破裂、受到冲击破碎以及碎裂后玻璃碎片飞溅的情况,有利于提高用户使用体验。由于玻璃层具有良好的线弹性,在脆性断裂前几乎不会发生塑性变形,因此,即使在高温静态弯折一段时间之后,柔性显示盖板仍可以恢复到初始状态。且玻璃层高模量(强化玻璃模量可以超过70GPa)、高硬度、可以稳定显示模组中的高分子层,减少起拱,改善平整度,提高整体显示效果。
在具体设置玻璃层时,所述玻璃层的厚度可以M 1满足:50μm≤M 1≤150μm,组成可以是钠钙玻璃、铝硅玻璃、钠铝硅玻璃、锂铝硅玻璃、磷铝硅玻璃或微晶玻璃中的任一种。一般为保证玻璃具备良好的弯折性能(例如弯折到R3不断裂),需要对玻璃表面进行化学强化处理。化学强化处理可以在玻璃表面10-20μm厚度的范围内形成压应力层,保证玻璃在弯折到大角度时受拉伸面不会因为拉应力过大发生表面微裂纹扩展。表面压应力层的存在也提升了玻璃层和整个盖板的抗跌落和抗冲击能力,有效保护内侧的柔性显示屏等结构。
在具体设置硬化层时,所述硬化层的厚度M 2可以满足:5μm≤M 1≤50μm,材质包括UV树脂、聚氨酯树脂、丙烯酸树脂、环氧树脂、氨基树脂、醇酸树脂、有机硅树脂、硅氧烷、二氧化硅,氧化铝,氧化锆,石墨烯或金刚石中的一种或者至少两种的组合。首先,硬化层需要具备良好的弯折性和透光性,保证超薄玻璃在覆盖硬化层后弯折性能和光学性能没有明显变差。其次,硬化层与玻璃之间应该有良好的附着力,保证弯折过程中硬化层和玻璃不会分离,可优先考虑硅系材质做硬化层或者做玻璃和硬化层之间的过渡层,可以更好地保证附着力在百格测试中超过3B。再次,硬化层应对玻璃尤其是玻璃表面起到保护作用:所属硬化层的铅笔硬度应该超过2H,覆盖硬化层之后的玻璃的抗冲击性能也应有所提升。
此外,上述玻璃层的四周还具有柔性保护层。所述柔性保护层高度(在垂直于玻璃面板的方向上)与玻璃层厚度接近,所述柔性保护层厚度(从玻璃边缘垂直向外延伸距离)M 3可以满足10μm≤M 3≤200μm。该柔性保护层可以降低玻璃层因侧边应力集中导致裂纹扩展甚至整个玻璃层碎裂的风险,提高柔性显示盖板组装过程的良品率和整机的使用寿命。所述柔性保护层的材质包括硅胶、聚氨酯弹性体、热塑性弹性体、热塑性聚酯弹性体、热塑性动态硫化胶、三元乙丙橡胶中的一种或者至少两种的组合。
另一个技术方案中,柔性显示盖板还可以包括防爆层,该防爆层设置于玻璃层远离硬化层的一侧。该防爆层具有防爆性和抗冲击性,即使玻璃层出现碎裂,也不会出现碎片飞溅的问题,从而提高柔性显示盖板的可靠性和安全性。
在具体设置防爆层时,可以通过粘胶层将防爆层可靠地固定在玻璃层下面。在具体设置粘胶层时,粘胶层的材质可以根据需求选择,具体需要使粘胶层具有较好的粘接性、柔 性和透光性。具体可以为光学透明胶层,也可以为光敏胶层。所述粘胶层的厚度M 4可以满足:5μm≤M 4≤100μm。该厚度下的粘胶层具有足够的粘性,且可以减少对柔性显示模组的影响。
具体的技术方案中,防爆层的材质可以选择透明高分子柔性层或剪切增稠材料层,两种材质的防爆层均具有较好的防爆效果。在具体选择透明高分子柔性层做防爆层时,该透明高分子柔性层的厚度M 5可以满足:5μm≤M 5≤100μm。该厚度下的透明高分子柔性层具有较好的防爆效果,且具有较好的柔性。在具体选择透明高分子柔性层做防爆层时,材质可以包括聚酰亚胺、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚碳酸酯或聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯PMMA中的任一种或者至少两种的共聚物或者至少两种的组合。用户从显示模块整体考虑和整机设计角度出发,根据需求选择该透明高分子柔性层的厚度和材质,可以使防爆层具有更好的防爆效果。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的,而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样,单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”、“所述”、“上述”、“该”和“这一”旨在也包括例如“一个或多个”这种表达形式,除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。
在本说明书中描述的参考“一个实施例”或“一些实施例”等意味着在本申请的一个或多个实施例中包括结合该实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特点。由此,在本说明书中的不同之处出现的语句“在一个实施例中”、“在一些实施例中”、“在其他一些实施例中”、“在另外一些实施例中”等不是必然都参考相同的实施例,而是意味着“一个或多个但不是所有的实施例”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。术语“包括”、“包含”、“具有”及它们的变形都意味着“包括但不限于”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。
本申请实施例提供的柔性显示盖板可以应用于可折叠的柔性显示装置,如手机、平板电脑等常见的可折叠移动终端。例如,图1示出了一种柔性显示装置在展开时的形状;图2示出了图1所示的柔性显示装置在折叠后的形状。柔性显示装置包括壳体10和柔性显示模组20,壳体10具有能够进行折叠的折叠部11,柔型显示模组20可以随着折叠部11的折叠而折叠。首先如图1中所示,在柔性显示装置展开时,柔性显示装置的壳体10展开;同时,设置在壳体10的柔性显示模组20也展开。如图2中所示,在柔性显示装置折叠时,柔性显示装置的壳体10折叠;同时,柔性显示模组20也折叠。图2中所示的柔性显示模组20在柔性显示装置折叠时位于壳体10外露的一侧,请参考图3,图3示出了另一种柔性显示装置的结构示意图,该实施例提供的柔性显示装置在折叠后,壳体10外露,而柔性显示模组20位于壳体10的内侧。由上述描述可以看出,柔性显示模组20可以实现跟随柔性显示装置中的折叠部11的折叠而弯折,跟随柔性显示装置的展开而展开。应理解, 上述仅仅为几种具体的实施例,本申请涉及的柔性显示装置可以包括任一种柔性显示模组能够实现折叠、弯折或者卷曲的柔性显示装置。
上述的柔性显示模组可以包括柔性屏、触控层及柔性显示盖板。其中,该柔性屏可以采用一个一体的柔性显示屏,如图4所示,图4示出了一种柔性屏的结构示意图,该柔性屏21也可以采用两个刚性屏部211以及位于两个刚性屏部211之间的一个柔性屏部212组成的拼接显示屏;如图5所示,图5示出了另一种柔性屏的结构示意图,该柔性屏21也可以采用至少三个刚性屏部211以及至少两个柔性屏部212时,在任意相邻两个刚性屏部211之间拼接一个柔性屏部212来实现。触控层也可以采用柔性可折叠的结构,下文将对柔性显示模组20的具体结构和构造进行详尽说明。
请参考图6,图6示出了本申请一实施例中柔性显示装置20的剖面结构示意图,本申请实施例提供的柔性显示模组20可以包括柔性屏21和柔性显示盖板22,柔性显示盖板22用于覆盖柔性屏21,作为柔性显示模组20的保护层。请参考图7,图7示出了本申请实施例提供的柔性显示模组20的另一种剖面结构示意图。该柔性显示盖板22可以包括两层结构,分别为玻璃层221和硬化层222,上述玻璃层221可以为超薄柔性玻璃层,该玻璃层221自身具有柔性,可以实现弯折。上述硬化层222与玻璃层221叠置,且位于玻璃层221远离柔性屏21的一侧,即硬化层222位于玻璃层221的外表面,即该外表面为用户使用柔性显示模组20时,玻璃层221朝向用户方向的表面。硬化层222具有较好的硬度和强度,可以保护玻璃层221,减少柔性显示盖板22被划伤或者受到压力易破碎的情况,有利于提高用户使用体验。由于玻璃层221具有良好的线弹性,在脆性断裂前几乎不会发生塑性变形,因此,即使在高温静态弯折一段时间之后,柔性显示盖板仍可以恢复到初始状态。玻璃层221的模量高(强化玻璃模量可超过70GPa)、硬度较高,对显示面板的保护性好。玻璃层平整度高,抗起拱,抗折痕,可以提高柔性显示模组的外观质感。
具体的,上述玻璃层221的厚度需要使玻璃层具有足够的柔性,还需要具有足够的强度。通常情况下,玻璃层的厚度越小,越有利于提高柔性显示盖板22的柔性,从而提高弯折效果;玻璃层的厚度越大,越有利于提高玻璃层的强度,从而不易碎裂损坏。本申请实施例这里根据大量的数据分析和模拟计算经验,认为玻璃层的厚度M 1可以满足:50μm≤M 1≤150μm。在具体设置玻璃层的厚度时,可以采用53μm、55μm、58μm、60μm、65μm、70μm、75μm、80μm、85μm、90μm、95μm、100μm、105μm、110μm、115μm、120μm、125μm、130μm、135μm、140μm或者145μm等厚度,从而实现柔性显示盖板22的柔性,以及具有足够的强度。
在具体设置该玻璃层221时,要保证玻璃在弯折过程中不断裂,需要对玻璃进行预应力强化。可以选择化学强化方法,通常选择铝硅系玻璃(包括铝硅玻璃、钠铝硅玻璃、锂铝硅玻璃或磷铝硅玻璃等)等比较容易进行力学强化的玻璃,例如可以把Na 2O-Al 2O 3-SiO 2系玻璃放入熔融硝酸钾中,在低于玻璃转变点的温度范围内,熔盐中离子半径/体积较大的钾离子(K +)替换玻璃表层中离子半径/体积较小的钠离子(Na +),并在玻璃表面形成压力层。上述在玻璃表层形成的压应力层可以在一定程度上抑制表面微裂纹的扩展,保证玻璃在弯折过程中不断裂,并且可起到提升玻璃强度和保护柔性屏的作用。玻璃也可以为钠钙玻璃或微晶玻璃,具体的,玻璃中的化学成分比例可以根据需求进行选择。
在具体制作硬化层222时,可以通过辊涂、刷涂、喷涂、淋涂、浸涂、蒸镀、溅射镀或离子镀的工艺,在玻璃层221的表面直接制作上述硬化层222。该硬化层222可以为有 机材料,也可以为无机材料,具体可以为UV树脂、聚氨酯树脂、丙烯酸树脂、环氧树脂、氨基树脂、醇酸树脂、有机硅树脂、硅氧烷、二氧化硅,氧化铝,氧化锆,石墨烯或金刚石中的一种或者至少两种的组合。选为制作硬化层的有机材料一般可以直接采用所述辊涂、刷涂、喷涂、淋涂或浸涂等低温工艺在玻璃基板上涂布通过风干、热固化和UV(紫外线)固化等方式固化,而选为制作硬化层的无机材料,如氧化锆和氧化铝,通常需要通过真空蒸镀、溅射镀或离子镀等方法在玻璃表面成膜,或者作为填料和颜料与所述有机涂料混合后,采用所述辊涂、刷涂、喷涂、淋涂或浸涂等工艺涂布在玻璃表面。该实施例中,硬化层222可以为单一材料,也可以为复合材料。具体的,硬化层222可以由环氧树脂和氧化铝组合而成,组合工艺不限定,例如,在硬化层溶液配制时按所需比例添加上述两者材料,从而形成两种材料组合的硬化层。该硬化层222的材质硬度较高,且具有较好的柔性和较高的透光性。具体制作该硬化层222时,其厚度M 2可以满足:5μm≤M 1≤50μm。具体实施例中,该硬化层的厚度可以为8μm、10μm、12μm、15μm、18μm、20μm、23μm、25μm、29μm、30μm、31μm、34μm、35μm、38μm、40μm、42μm、45μm或47μm。使硬化层222在对玻璃层221具有足够保护效果的情况下,具有足够的柔性。在制作硬化层222时,其制作工艺、材质和厚度均可以根据需求进行设计和选择,通过合理的设计可以使硬化层222的硬度至少为2H的铅笔硬度。硬化层222的硬度达到上述程度,则对柔性的玻璃层221可以起到较好的保护效果。
本申请的技术方案中,玻璃层221具有柔性,因此厚度较薄,较为脆弱,特别是边缘区域容易受到损伤,即使是几微米的缺陷都会导致玻璃层221碎裂。为解决这个问题,请继续参考图8和图9,其中,图8示出了本申请实施例提供的柔性显示模组的另一种剖面结构示意图;图9示出了本申请实施例提供的柔性显示模组的一种俯视结构示意图。图8所示实施例中,玻璃层221的周侧还具有柔性保护层223,该柔性保护层223可以完全包覆玻璃层221的四周,也可以根据实际产品结构,仅包覆于玻璃层221易碎裂的区域。从而当玻璃层221的周侧受到压力或者任何刺激时,柔性保护层223可以吸收受到的压力,起到保护玻璃层221的作用,可以减少玻璃层221因侧边受到应力导致整个玻璃层221碎裂的情况,提高柔性显示盖板22的使用寿命。
具体设置上述柔性保护层223时,柔性保护层223的材质可以为硅胶、聚氨酯弹性体(PU)、热塑性弹性体(TPE)、热塑性聚酯弹性体(TPEE)、热塑性动态硫化胶(TPV)、三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)中的任一种或者至少两种的组合。在制作柔性保护层223时,柔性保护层223可以为单一材料,也可以为至少两种材料组合而成的复合材料。具体的,可以使硅胶和热塑性聚酯弹性材料组合,组合工艺不限定,例如,可以在柔性保护层溶液配制时按比例添加上述两者材料。根据需求选择即可,该柔性保护层223具有一定的弹性,从而受到外界的压力时,柔性保护层223可以吸收压力,缓解玻璃层221受到的应力。
具体设置上述柔性保护层223的厚度时,既要考虑给玻璃层221的边缘提供足够的保护,又要结合玻璃层221边缘的尺寸公差。考虑到通常超薄玻璃的边缘尺寸公差在10到100微米量级,可以使柔性保护层223的厚度M 3满足10μm≤M 3≤200μm。该厚度的柔性保护层223可以起到较好的保护效果,具体的,柔性保护层的厚度越大,且柔性越好,对玻璃层221的保护效果越好。但因为保护层223和玻璃层221之间的折射率等参数不同,柔性保护层223的厚度太大可能会影响屏幕边缘的显示效果。具体的实施例中,柔性保护层223的厚度可以为20μm、30μm、50μm、80μm、100μm、120μm、130μm、150μm、170μm 或者180μm。在制作柔性保护223层时,也要结合玻璃层221边缘的尺寸公差的大小,221边缘尺寸公差偏大时应该采用柔性更好的材料填充,以减少玻璃层221边缘尺寸取极大值时受到柔性层的挤压力。
请参考图10,图10示出了本申请实施例提供的柔性显示模组的另一种剖面结构示意图,该实施例中,玻璃层221内侧还具有防爆层224,即防爆层224位于玻璃层221靠近柔性屏21的一侧,也即,玻璃层221位于硬化层222和防爆层224之间,该防爆层224具有防爆性,这样的话,即使玻璃层221出现碎裂,也不会出现飞溅的问题,从而提高柔性显示盖板22的可靠性和安全性。此外,还可以提高柔性显示盖板22的抗冲击性。请参考图11,图11示出了本申请实施例提供的柔性显示模组的另一种剖面结构示意图。具体的实施例中,该防爆层224可以通过粘胶层225粘接固定于玻璃层221,从而使防爆层224较为可靠的固定于玻璃层221下侧。具体的,该粘胶层225可以为光学透明胶层,或者也可以为光敏胶层。该粘胶层225可以具有较好的粘接性,以提高防爆层224与玻璃层221粘接的可靠性,以及防爆层224工作的可靠性;该粘胶层225还可以具有足够的柔性,以便于随柔性显示模组20进行弯折,此外,该粘胶层225还可以具有较好的透光性,以减少对柔性显示模组20显示效果的影响。
具体制作该粘胶层时,一方面粘胶层厚度需要使粘胶层225具有足够的粘性,另一方面,粘胶层225的厚度还要尽量薄,以降低对柔性显示模组的影响。具体的,该粘胶层的厚度M 4可以满足:5μm≤M 4≤100μm。具体地,粘胶层225的厚度可以为10μm、15μm、20μm、25μm、30μm、35μm、40μm、45μm、50μm、55μm、60μm、65μm、70μm、75μm、80μm、85μm、90μm或95μm等。具体可以根据粘胶层225的材质特性以及防爆层224和玻璃层221的粘接强度要求来选择合适类型的粘胶材料以及厚度来实现。
具体设置上述防爆层224时,该防爆层224可以为透明高分子柔性层,透明高分子柔性层具有一定的防爆型,具体的。该透明高分子柔性层的材质可以为聚酰亚胺(PI)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯(PEN)、聚碳酸酯(PC)、环烯烃共聚物(COC)或聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯PMMA中的任一种,或者上述材质中至少两种材质的组合。用户根据需求选择和设计防爆层224的具体材质即可,以使防爆层224具有足够的防爆效果。具体设置防爆层224为透明高分子柔性层时,其厚度M 5可以满足:5μm≤M 5≤100μm,其厚度具体可以为10μm、15μm、20μm、25μm、30μm、35μm、40μm、45μm、50μm、55μm、60μm、65μm、70μm、75μm、80μm、85μm、90μm或95μm等。该厚度下的防爆层224具有较好的防爆效果,且具有较好的柔性。用户可以根据对柔性显示盖板22的防爆性要求,以及防爆层224的材质选择合适的防爆层224的厚度。
具体设置上述防爆层224时,该防爆层224可以为剪切增稠材料层,剪切增稠材料通常指的是一种非牛顿流体,其黏度随着剪切速率的增加而增加,在高速冲击下表观黏度急剧增加,这种材料可作为良好的防护材料。但是这种流体呈液体状态,使用寿命短并且抗老化性能及抗二次损伤性能弱等缺陷限制了其大规模应用。而以聚合物为基体添加分散粒子的具有这种剪切增稠效应的材料则逐渐成为发展的方向,因此,将具有剪切增稠效应的材料也称为剪切增稠材料。如图12所示,图12示出了本申请一实施例中一种剪切增稠效应的材料的微观结构示意图。图12示出了一种剪切增稠效应的材料,其在基体2241中添加了分散粒子2242,这种具有剪切增稠效应的材料在准静态载荷下呈黏性流动状态,在基体2241中添加的分散粒子2242呈均匀分散状态(如图12中a部分所示),而在冲击载荷 F下分散粒子2242吸收能量,呈聚集状态(如图12中b部分所示),剪切增稠效应的材料呈固体状态;因此,当受到冲击载荷F时,材料表现出抗冲击性能,且抗冲击性能随着冲击速度的提高而增强。而当冲击载荷F消失时,则基体2241中的分散粒子2242又恢复均匀分散状态(如图12中c部分所示),表现为弹性而实现柔性弯折。从而通过使用增稠材料层作为防爆层224,可以使得防爆层224具有较好的防爆型和抗冲击性。
具体的实施例中,剪切增稠材料层的材质可以为以端羟基聚硅氧烷(PDMS)、聚氨酯(PU)和苯乙烯嵌段聚合物为基体的弹性体复合材料,在上述基体中添加分散粒子则获得具有较好剪切增稠效应的材料;或者,剪切增稠材料层的材质还可以为剪切增稠流体纤维复合材料。用户根据需求选择合适材质作为剪切增稠材料层即可。具体设置剪切增稠材料层时,剪切增稠材料层的厚度M 6可以满足:50μm≤M 6≤200μm。其厚度具体可以为55μm、60μm、65μm、70μm、75μm、80μm、85μm、90μm、95μm、100μm、105μm、110μm、115μm、120μm、125μm、130μm、135μm、140μm或者145μm,该厚度下的剪切增稠材料层可以具有足够的防爆效果,且具有较好的柔性和透光性,用户根据对柔性显示盖板22的防爆性要求,以及剪切增稠材料层的材质可以选择合适的防爆层224的厚度。
请参考图13,本申请实施例提供了一种柔性显示盖板,该柔性显示盖板采用厚度100μm的超薄柔性玻璃作为玻璃层221,通过淋涂工艺在玻璃层221外侧表面涂覆一层10μm的硬化层222,防止日常使用划伤,该硬化层222的表面铅笔硬度≥5H。通过辊涂工艺在超薄柔性玻璃层221边缘包覆一层20μm的柔性硅胶作为柔性保护层223,避免柔性玻璃层221边缘与结构件等硬物直接碰触导致碎裂。通过厚度为50μm的低模量的光学透明粘胶(OCA)作为粘胶层225,将超薄柔性玻璃层221内表面粘接剪切增稠材料层(防爆层224),起到防止玻璃碎裂飞溅的作用,同时改善柔性显示盖板表面抗冲击性。这样图10所示的柔性显示盖板具备改善表面硬度和平整度,减少玻璃边缘碎裂的概率,防止玻璃碎裂飞溅,改善抗冲击性等优势。应理解,该实施例仅作为一种具体的实施方式。
当然在上述图13所示的柔性显示盖板中,该柔性显示盖板也可以采用厚度70μm的超薄柔性玻璃作为玻璃层221,通过喷涂工艺在玻璃层221外侧表面涂覆一层20μm的硬化层222,防止日常使用划伤,该硬化层222的表面铅笔硬度≥5H。通过辊涂工艺在超薄柔性玻璃层221边缘包覆一层20μm的柔性硅胶作为柔性保护层223,避免柔性玻璃边缘与结构件等硬物直接碰触导致碎裂。通过厚度为30μm的低模量的光学透明粘胶(OCA)作为粘胶层225,将超薄柔性玻璃层221内侧粘接柔性透明聚酰亚胺(PI)薄膜(防爆层224),起到防止玻璃碎裂飞溅的作用。这样图10所示的柔性显示盖板具备改善表面硬度和平整度,减少玻璃边缘碎裂的概率,防止玻璃碎裂飞溅,抗冲击性等优势。应理解,该实施例也仅作为一种具体的实施方式。
如图6所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种可折叠显示模组20,该柔性显示模组20可以包括柔性屏21和上述任一实施例介绍的柔性显示盖板22,柔性显示盖板22用于覆盖柔性屏21,作为柔性显示模组20的保护层。请参考图7,上述柔性显示盖板22至少包括两层结构,分别为玻璃层221和硬化层222,上述玻璃层221可以为超薄柔性玻璃层,该玻璃层221自身具有柔性,可以实现弯折。上述硬化层222与玻璃层221叠置,且位于玻璃层221远离柔性屏21的一侧,即硬化层222位于玻璃层221的外表面,换个角度说,该外表面也就是用户使用柔性显示模组20时,玻璃层221朝向用户方向的表面。硬化层222具有较好的硬度和强度,可以保护玻璃层221,减少柔性显示盖板22被划伤或者受到压力 易破碎的情况,有利于提高用户使用体验。由于玻璃层221具有良好的线弹性,在脆性断裂前几乎不会发生塑性变形,因此,即使在高温静态弯折一段时间之后,柔性显示盖板仍可以恢复到初始状态。玻璃层221的模量高(强化玻璃模量可超过70GPa)、硬度较高,对显示面板的保护性好。玻璃层平整度高,抗起拱,抗折痕,可以提高柔性显示模组的外观质感。
继续参考图1及图2,本申请实施例还提供了一种柔性显示装置,该柔性显示装置包括壳体10和柔性显示模组20,壳体10具有能够进行折叠的折叠部11,柔型显示模组20随着折叠部11的折叠而折叠。首先如图1中所示,在柔性显示装置展开时,柔性显示装置的壳体10展开;同时,设置在壳体10的柔性显示模组20也展开。即柔性显示模组20可以实现跟随柔性显示装置的折叠而弯折,跟随柔性显示装置的展开而展开。上述柔性显示模组20包括上述实施例中介绍的柔性显示盖板22,该柔性显示盖板22用于覆盖柔性屏21,作为柔性显示模组20的保护层。
以上,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
