附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本申请实施例中的技术方案，下面将对实施例描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍，显而易见地，下面描述中的附图仅仅是本申请的一些实施例，对于本领域普通技术人员来讲，在不付出创造性劳动的前提下，还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
随着科技的发展，终端能够实现的功能越来越多，其中一种常用的功能是压力感应功能。以移动终端为例，移动终端的显示模组中集成的压力感应功能可以用于实现屏下指纹、屏下摄像头以及屏下压力感应等功能。
其中，屏下指纹是一种新兴的功能，在显示行业越来越多地被应用，若将屏下指纹与屏下压力感应的配合使用，可以更好地提升用户体验。
屏下压力感应通过压力传感器(英文：force sensor)实现，压力传感器可以为电容式传感器或者为电阻式传感器。本申请实施例以电容式传感器为例进行说明。
目前，在一种实施方式中，电容式传感器可以通过在显示面板的背面贴附一整面的压力感应传感器来实现屏下压力感应功能。但是，该方案中，需要首先将该压力感应传感器制作完成然后再贴附于显示面板的背面，该制作完成的压力感应传感器包括层叠设置的承载基板、柔性线路板以及压力感应结构等结构。其中，压力感应传感器的柔性线路板通过外挂的引线与显示装置中的固有柔性线路板电连接。如此设置不但导致该压力感应传感器的制作工艺和结构均较为复杂并且制作成本较高。另外，由于引线通常较为脆弱，易发生断裂导致压力感应传感器的稳定性较差。相应的，具有该压力传感器的显示装置的制作工艺和结构也均较为复杂，制作成本较高，稳定性较差。并且，该方案还会导致显示装置厚度的增加。
本申请实施例提供了一种显示装置，可以解决相关技术中存在的技术问题。如图1所示，该显示装置10包括控制器101、框体102、显示面板103、柔性电路板104以及压力感应结构105。
柔性电路板104位于显示面板103的背面，且与显示面板103电连接，显示面板103的背面为与显示面板103的出光面相对的一面。
压力感应结构105位于柔性电路板104上，压力感应结构105通过柔性电路板104与控制器101电连接，框体102位于柔性电路板104远离显示面板103的一侧，框体102与压力感应结构105之间存在指定距离。
本申请实施例中显示装置通过框体102与压力感应结构105之间的距离变化来感知电容变化，进而实现压力感应功能。该指定距离指的是能够感测到电容变化的最大距离。若框体102与压力感应结构105之间的距离超过该最大距离，则即使通过按压使得框体102与压力感应结构105之间的距离发生了变化，也难以通过该距离的变化感测到电容的变化，如此则无法实现压力感应功能。可选的，框体102为用于承载显示面板103的框架结构，例如框体102为中框。
综上所述，本申请实施例提供的显示装置中，压力感应结构通过柔性电路板与控制器连接，该连接有控制器的柔性电路板为显示装置中的固有柔性电路板，因此无需单独为该压力感应结构设置承载基板以及柔性线路板等结构，简化了显示装置的结构，在一定程度上降低了具有压力感应功能的显示装置的制作成本。
并且，相较于相关技术中需要在显示面板的背面贴上一整面的压力感应传感器，由于本申请实施例中无需在显示面板的背面贴上一整面的压力感应传感器，因此，无需增加显示装置中叠层的厚度，有助于实现显示装置的轻薄化；由于本申请实施例中的压力感应结构位于柔性电路板上，无需采用引线的方式将压力感应传感器的柔性电路板外挂于显示装置的固有柔性电路板上，因此，相较于相关技术，本申请实施例提供的显示装置，增加了压力感应功能的可靠性和稳定性。
图2和图3示出了本申请实施例中压力感应结构的工作原理，本申请实施例所描述的显示装置中的压力感应结构基于电容式传感器的工作原理。其中，图2示出的是手指未对显示面板(图2中未示出)施加压力的状态下，压力感应结构105与框体102的示意图。图3示出的是手指对显示面板(图3中未示出)施加压力的状态下，压力感应结构105与框体102的示意图。
从图2中可以看出，在手指未对显示面板施加压力的状态下，压力感应结构105与框体102之间具有固定距离d1，该固定距离d1对应的压力感应结构105与框体102之间的电容值为C1；从图3中可以看出，在手指对显示面板施 加压力上的状态下，压力感应结构105会随着手指的按压力度产生一定的形变量，压力感应结构105与框体102之间的最短间距，也即是，手指按压位置处对应的压力感应结构105与框体102之间的间距，会根据该形变量变为距离d2，该距离d2对应的压力感应结构105与框体102之间的电容值为C2，压力感应结构105的控制器可以根据距离感测出对应的电容值，计算出电容值的变化量，并反馈出对应的感应信号，该感应信号与施加在显示面板上的压力大小呈对应关系。
可选的，压力感应结构105可以位于柔性电路板104靠近框体102的一面上，即图1中所示的情况，如此结构下，压力感应结构105和框体102之间没有柔性电路板104的阻挡，可以在一定程度上提高压力感应结构的灵敏程度，进而便于控制压力感应结构的控制器能够准确感测出不同距离对应的不同电容值。在其他可选的实施例中，如图4所示，压力感应结构105可以位于柔性电路板104远离框体102的一面上。当然，压力感应结构105也可以位于柔性电路板104上的其他位置，只要使得控制压力感应结构的控制器能够感测出压力感应结构105与框体102之间的电容值即可。
目前，具有电容式压力感应传感器的显示装置中通常具有泡棉，该电容式压力感应传感器通过泡棉贴附于显示面板的背面。在对显示面板进行按压操作时，压力感应传感器中的压力感应结构与框体的间距发生变化进而产生感应信号。在进行按压操作时，泡棉也会发生相应的形变，并且随着按压操作次数的增多，泡棉会产生不可逆的形变，该不可逆的形变会导致压力感应传感器的灵敏性降低，甚至导致压感失效的现象发生，影响该显示装置压力感应功能。而本申请实施例中所描述的压力感应结构中，压力感应结构的形变量与泡棉无关，因此不会出现压感失效的问题，提高了显示装置的压力感应功能的稳定性。
本申请实施例提供的显示装置中，可以具有一个或多个柔性电路板，压力感应结构可以位于这些柔性电路板中的任意一个上。
在一种实施方式中，请参考图5，显示装置10还包括显示控制器112。可选的，显示控制器112可以为显示驱动芯片。柔性电路板104与显示控制器112电连接，该与显示控制器112电连接的柔性电路板104也可以称为主柔性电路板(英文：Main FPC，简称：MFPC)。压力感应结构105位于该主柔性电路板上。其中，主柔性电路板是显示装置中固有的一种用于将显示控制器112与显 示面板103连接的结构。该主柔性电路板可以用于将显示控制器112发出的信号输送至显示面板103，使得显示面板103根据该信号进行显示。在其他可选的实施方式中，用于控制压力感应结构105的控制器101也可以复用为显示控制器112，也即是，控制器101与显示控制器112为同一控制器，当控制器101与显示控制器112为同一控制器时，更有助于实现显示装置的小型化设计。当然，图5示出的是两个控制器的情况。
其中，显示控制器与主柔性电路板电连接的方式可以包括以下两种：第一种：显示控制器位于该主柔性电路板上；第二种情况：显示控制器位于柔性基底上，通过该柔性基底上的电路结构将该柔性基底与主柔性电路板电连接，例如采用覆晶薄膜封装(英文：Chip On Film，缩写：COF)技术将显示控制器固定于柔性基底上。
由于显示装置中主柔性电路板上的电路结构较为复杂，使得其尺寸通常较大，因此，若将压力感应结构105设置于该主柔性电路板上，无需额外增大该主柔性电路板的尺寸，有助于实现显示装置的小型化设计，且有效降低了具有压力感应功能的显示装置的制作成本。
可选的，显示装置中的显示面板还可以包括触控层，也即是该显示面板可以为触控显示面板，则相应的，显示装置为触控显示装置。该触控显示装置中除显示控制器之外还具有触控控制器，可选的，该触控控制器可以为触控芯片(英文：Touch IC)。
触控控制器实现该触控功能可以通过以下两种实现方式：第一种实现方式，触控控制器与触控电路板电连接，例如触控控制器可以位于该触控电路板上，以此实现与该触控电路板的电连接，触控控制器通过触控电路板与主柔性电路板电连接，且通过主柔性电路板与触控层电连接；第二种实现方式，触控控制器与主柔性电路板电连接，例如触控控制器可以位于该主柔性电路板上，以此与该触控电路板电连接，触控控制器通过主柔性电路板与触控层电连接。
在上述第二种实现方式中，由于无需为该触控控制器额外设置柔性电路板，也即是，无需在显示装置中设置用于连接触控控制器的触控电路板，因此，不但节约了显示装置的制作成本，并且实现了触控功能与显示功能的一体化，有助于实现显示装置的小型化。
当然，触控显示装置还包括触控传感器(英文：touch sensor)，触控传感器 可以设置于触控显示面板的出光面的一面(即on-cell技术)，或者采用内嵌技术(即in-cell技术)将该触控传感器内嵌于触控显示面板中。触控控制器通过控制触控传感器以实现触控功能。
在本申请实施例的另一个可选的实现方式中，无论该触控控制器位于主柔性电路板上或是位于触控电路板上，该触控控制器可以均与压力感应结构连接，用于控制压力感应结构实现压力感应功能。当该触控控制器位于主柔性电路板上时，该主柔性电路板上可以具有连接压力感应结构与触控控制器的走线。如此使得压力感应结构能够与触控传感器共用一个触控控制器，无需额外为压力感应结构设置控制器，节约了显示装置的制作成本的同时也实现了显示装置的小型化。
可选的，显示面板还包括可以触控层，则相应的，显示装置为触控显示装置。在图5中，与压力感应结构105连接的控制器101可以为触控控制器。除此之外，显示装置10还包括显示控制器112，柔性电路板104与显示控制器112电连接，触控控制器位于该柔性电路板(即主柔性电路板)104上，且通过柔性电路板与触控层电连接，压力感应结构105通过柔性电路板104与触控控制器电连接。
在该实现方式中，由于无需为压力感应结构设置额外的控制器，且无需为触控控制器设置额外的触摸柔性电路板。因此简化了显示装置的结构，在一定程度上降低了具有压力感应功能的显示装置的制作成本。
在另一种实施方式中，请参考图6，显示装置10为触控显示装置，显示面板103包括触控层，显示面板103为触控显示面板，显示装置10还包括触控控制器113，柔性电路板104为触摸柔性电路板，也即是，压力感应结构105位于触摸柔性电路板上。其中，触摸柔性电路板是显示装置中固有的一种用于将触控控制器与显示面板连接的结构。在其他可选的实施方式中，用于控制压力感应结构105的控制器101也可以复用为触控控制器106，也即是，控制器101与触控控制器106为同一控制器，当控制器101与触控控制器106为同一控制器时，更有助于实现显示装置的小型化设计。当然，图6示出的是两个控制器的情况。
在该种实现方式中，由于无需单独为该压力感应结构设置承载基板以及柔性线路板等结构，而是将该压力感应结构105直接设置于触控显示装置中固有 的触摸柔性电路板上，简化了显示装置的结构，在一定程度上降低了具有压力感应功能的显示装置的制作成本。
可选的，压力感应结构可以包括至少一个感应子结构，示例的，压力感应结构可以包括至少两个感应子结构。该至少一个感应子结构在柔性电路板上的分布可以有多种形式，本申请实施例以以下两种分布方式为例进行说明。以下两种分布方式均以该至少一个感应子结构包括至少两个感应子结构为例进行说明。
在第一种分布方式中，该位于柔性电路板上的至少两个感应子结构在显示面板的背面的正投影均匀分布于显示面板的背面。如此可以使得每个感应子结构可以分别用于感测作用于该感应子结构对应的区域的压力，以实现全面屏感应。
在第二种分布方式中，压力感应结构105在显示面板(图中未示出)的背面的正投影可以位于显示面板的背面的几何中心。
图7示出的是本申请实施例提供的一种显示装置的柔性电路板104的结构俯视图，该显示装置为触控显示装置，该柔性电路板104为主柔性电路板，该主柔性电路板上具有触控控制器106，柔性电路板上的走线连接该两个感应子结构1051以及该触控控制器106，也就是说，该触控显示装置中，压力感应结构105与触控传感器(图7中未示出)共用该触控控制器。另外，柔性电路板104上还具有绑定区1041，绑定区1041用于连接柔性电路板104和显示面板(图7中未示出)，柔性电路板104上还具有连接器1042，连接器1042用于连接柔性电路板104和触控显示装置的主板(图7中未示出)。图7是以压力感应结构包括两个感应子结构为例进行说明，且图7仅示意性地示出了该两个感应子结构位于柔性电路板104上的情况
可选的，压力感应结构105可以位于柔性电路板104上的目标位置，该目标位置为柔性电路板104上远离绑定区1041所在侧的一侧。当压力感应结构105包括至少一个感应子结构1051时，该至少一个感应子结构可以沿远离绑定区1041的方向上排列，作为示意性说明，该沿远离绑定区1041的方向为图7中所示的方向x。由于绑定区1041通常位于柔性电路板104的边缘区域，甚至位于显示面板的边缘区域，因此，将压力感应结构105设置于远离绑定区1041所在侧的一侧可以使压力感应结构较为靠近显示面板的中央，提高其压力感应的准 确性。
在上述第二种分布方式中，可以通过设置每个感应子结构1051的大小实现全面屏感应。每个感应子结构1051的大小可以根据显示面板的大小进行设置，当用户的手指在显示面板上的任意位置施加压力时，至少有一个感应子结构1051与框体的距离能够发生变化，且该变化能够被控制压力感应结构的控制器能够有效感测出，并计算出电容值的变化量，反馈出对应的感应信号。
当然，在其他可选的分布方式中，该至少两个感应子结构1051可以位于柔性电路板104上的任意位置。
可选的，将压力感应结构设置于柔性电路板上的方式可以有多种，本申请实施例以以下两种设置方式为例进行说明。
第一种设置方式中，压力感应结构焊接于柔性电路板上。显示装置可以包括焊盘，该焊盘可以为承载基片，用于承载该压力感应结构，压力感应结构位于该焊盘上，压力感应结构通过该焊盘与柔性电路板焊接。可选的，当压力感应结构包括至少两个感应子结构时，显示装置可以包括至少两个焊盘，感应子结构分别位于对应的焊盘上，当然。感应子结构与焊盘可以一一对应，也可以多对一，也即是，多个感应子结构设置于一个焊盘上，本申请实施例对此不做限制。
在第二种设置方式中，压力感应结构粘结于柔性电路板上。压力感应结构可以通过双面胶与柔性电路板粘结。可选的，为了避免贴合压力感应结构与柔性电路板的双面胶产生气泡影响压力感应结构的压力感应功能，该双面胶可以为网格状的双面胶。
可选的，压力感应结构为能够导电的压力感应膜层，该压力感应膜层可以由金属材料制成，例如，该金属材料为铜。
可选的，图8示出了本申请实施例提供的又一种显示装置10的结构示意图，该显示装置10为有机发光二极管显示装置，显示面板103为有机发光二极管显示面板，显示面板103与压力感应结构105之间具有缓冲层107。可选的，缓冲层107可以为泡棉。该显示装置10还包括设置于显示面板103远离框体102一侧的偏光片108以及设置于偏光片108远离显示面板103一侧的盖板109。可选的，盖板109可以为玻璃盖板。可选的，如图8所示，该显示装置10也可以为具有触控功能的有机发光二极管显示装置，也即是显示面板103为具有触控功 能的有机发光二极管显示面板。则该显示装置10还包括触控传感器110，该触控传感器设置于显示面板103的出光面的一面。该触控传感器可以通过触控层实现。
可选的，图9示出了本申请实施例提供的又一种显示装置10的结构示意图，该显示装置10为液晶显示装置，显示面板103为液晶显示面板，显示面板103与压力感应结构105之间设置有背光模组111。图9中示出的其他结构可以参考上述图8中的相关描述，本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
在上述有机发光二极管显示装置和液晶显示装置中，盖板109用于保护显示面板103防止其遭受外部磨损以及受到外部撞击。缓冲层107和背光模组111分别用于保护显示面板103在被进行按压操作的过程中，与框体102的过度接触。当然，该显示装置10还可以包括触控控制器等结构，图8和图9中并未一一示出。
综上所述，本申请实施例提供的显示装置中，通过将压力感应结构通过柔性电路板与控制器连接，该连接有控制器的柔性电路板为显示装置中的固有柔性电路板，因此无需单独为该压力感应结构设置承载基板以及柔性线路板等结构，简化了显示装置的结构，在一定程度上降低了具有压力感应功能的显示装置的制作成本。
本申请实施例提供了一种终端，该终端可以包括上述实施例所描述的显示装置，该终端可以为手机、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。
以上所述仅为本申请的可选的实施例，并不用以限制本申请，凡在本申请的精神和原则之内，所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
