具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本发明实施例的附图,对本发明实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本发明的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本发明所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样,“一个”、“一”或者“该”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
图1是一种显示模组的正视图(也即,从显示模组正面观察获得的平面示意图)。例如,该显示模组可以是有源矩阵式有机发光二极管显示屏,该 显示屏为非曲面屏。如图1所示,该显示模组包括显示基板501(例如,有机发光二极管显示面板)以及设置在显示基板501的显示侧上的触控传感器502。如图1所示,该显示模组还包括第一柔性电路板504(也即,触控传感器电路板)和第四柔性电路板505(例如,覆晶薄膜)。需要说明的是,图1所示的显示模组的第一柔性电路板504和第四柔性电路板505均未处于弯折状态。
图2A是图1所示的显示模组的触控传感器502和第一柔性电路板504的正视图。需要说明的是,图2A所示的第一柔性电路板504未处于弯折状态。如图2A所示,第二方向D2上具有第一侧591和第二侧592,触控传感器502在第一侧591包括第一邦定区503,第一柔性电路板504仅经由第一邦定区503与触控传感器502电连接。
图2B是图1所示的显示模组的显示基板501和第四柔性电路板505的正视图。需要说明的是,图2B所示的第四柔性电路板505未处于弯折状态。如图2B所示,显示基板501在第一侧591上包括第二邦定区593,第四柔性电路板505经由第二邦定区593与显示基板501电连接。如图2B所示,第四柔性电路板505还包括驱动芯片506。
图2C是图1所示的显示模组的一个截面示意图,且图2C所示的截面示意图沿图1的AA’线剖切得到。需要说明的是,图1所示的显示模组的第一柔性电路板504和第四柔性电路板505均未处于弯折状态。如图2C所示,触控传感器502和显示基板501在第三方向D3上叠置,且触控传感器502在第三方向D3上位于显示基板501的显示侧(也即,发光侧或图像输出侧)。
图2D是图1所示的显示模组的另一个截面示意图,相比于图2C所示的截面示意图,在图2D所示的截面示意图中,第一柔性电路板504和第四柔性电路板505均处于弯折状态。如图2D所示,部分第四柔性电路板505(第四柔性电路板505的主体部)和部分第一柔性电路板504均被弯折到显示基板501的背面(也即,显示基板501的远离触控传感器502的一侧)。
图3A是图1所示的显示模组的背视图(也即,从显示模组背面观察获得的平面示意图)。如图3A所示,该显示模组还包括第三柔性电路板507,第三柔性电路板507与第四柔性电路板505邦定而彼此电连接,由此第三柔性电路板507可以经由第四柔性电路板505控制驱动芯片506,并经由驱动芯片506控制显示基板501实现显示功能;第三柔性电路板507还经由电连 接区508与第一柔性电路板504通过邦定彼此电连接,由此第三柔性电路板507可以经由第一柔性电路板504控制触控传感器502实现触控功能。如图3A所示,驱动芯片506位于第四柔性电路板505的主体部远离显示基板501的一侧。如图3A所示,第一柔性电路板504在第一方向D1仅位于驱动芯片506的一侧,也即,第一柔性电路板504采用单侧走线的方式与触控传感器502邦定连接。例如,第一方向D1、第二方向D2和第三方向D3彼此交叉(例如,彼此垂直)。
需要说明的是,图1和图3A所示的第一柔性电路板504、第四柔性电路板505、第三柔性电路板507的形状、连接和排布仅为示例,本公开的实施例不限于此。图3A是另一种显示模组的背视图。例如,第一柔性电路板504、第四柔性电路板505、第三柔性电路板507的形状、连接和排布还可以采用图3B所示的示例。
本公开的发明人在研究中注意到,图1所示的第一柔性电路板504经由单侧走线的方式与触控传感器502邦定连接的方式不适用于具有曲面区的显示模组(例如,曲面屏),下面结合图4A-图4C进行示例性说明。
图4A是再一种显示模组600的正视图。如图4A所示,显示模组600在第一方向D1上具有平坦区601以及位于平坦区601两侧的曲面区602,平坦区601和曲面区602之间具有虚拟的分界线(也可以被称为弯折起始线603)。图4B是图4A所示的显示模组600的俯视图。如图4B所示,显示模组600的曲面区602从显示模组600的正面朝向显示模组600的背面弯折。
图4C是图4A所示的显示模组600的背视图。如图4C所示,该显示模组600包括显示基板(图中未示出)、触控传感器(图中未示出)、第一柔性电路板(也即,触控传感器电路板,图中未示出)、第四柔性电路板606和第三柔性电路板607。触控传感器设置在显示基板的显示侧上;第一柔性电路板(也即,触控传感器电路板)与触控传感器邦定而由此与触控传感器电连接,第三柔性电路板607与第一柔性电路板邦定而由此与第一柔性电路板电连接,从而,第三柔性电路板607可以经由第一柔性电路板控制触控传感器实现触控功能;第四柔性电路板606与显示模组600的显示基板邦定而由此与显示基板电连接,从而第四柔性电路板606包括的驱动芯片605可以经由第四柔性电路板606控制显示基板实现显示功能;第三柔性电路板607与第四柔性电路板606邦定而由此电连接,从而第三柔性电路板607可以经 由第四柔性电路板606与驱动芯片605电连接。
如图4C所示,第三柔性电路板607包括主体部6071以及从主体部6071凸出的连接部6072。如图4C所示,第四柔性电路板606的被弯折到显示基板背面的部分(第四柔性电路板606的主体部)、驱动芯片605以及第三柔性电路板607的主体部6071均设置在平坦区601,这是因为第四柔性电路板606的主体部、驱动芯片605以及第三柔性电路板607的主体部6071的材质较硬,将第四柔性电路板606的主体部、驱动芯片605以及第三柔性电路板607的主体部6071设置在平坦区601可以避免弯折第四柔性电路板606的主体部、驱动芯片605以及第三柔性电路板607的主体部6071导致的不良。
本公开的发明人在研究中注意到,对于具有曲面区602的显示模组600(例如,曲面屏),由于以下原因,具有曲面区602的显示模组600预留给第一柔性电路板(也即,触控传感器电路板)的布置空间(第一柔性电路板的走线空间)较小。首先,由于驱动芯片605为显示模组600的核心电子元件,为避免硬质材料覆盖驱动芯片605导致的不良,需要避免第一柔性电路板覆盖驱动芯片605。其次,驱动芯片605经由第四柔性电路板606邦定到显示基板的多根走线分别沿第二方向D2延伸,且沿第一方向D1并列布置;为了避免多根走线长度差异较大导致的显示基板沿第一方向D1的潜在电学不均匀和亮度不均匀问题,驱动芯片605在第一方向D1的中心与显示基板在第一方向D1上的中心重叠或者接近。再次,由于显示模组600包括曲面区602,平坦区601的尺寸在第一方向D1上的尺寸相对较小。因此,在驱动芯片605在第一方向D1的中心与显示基板在第一方向D1上的中心重叠或者接近,且第一柔性电路板未覆盖驱动芯片605的情况下,驱动芯片605在第一方向D1上任一端与对应的虚拟的分界线之间的间距(也即,可用于第一柔性电路板的走线区域PWL)的尺寸较小。例如,在曲面区602在第一方向D1上的宽度较大的情况下,如果第一柔性电路板经由单侧走线的方式与触控传感器邦定连接,则可能导致可用于第一柔性电路板的走线区域PWL的在第一方向D1上的尺寸无法满足第一柔性电路板的走线需求(例如,第一柔性电路板仅能与触控传感器的部分走线邦定)。
本公开的至少一个实施例提供了一种显示模组和显示装置。该显示模组包括第一柔性电路板、显示基板以及设置在显示基板的显示侧上的触控传感器。显示基板在第一方向上具有平坦区以及位于平坦区两侧的曲面区;触控 传感器在位于与第一方向上交叉的第二方向的第一侧具有第一邦定区和第二邦定区;第一邦定区和第二邦定区位于触控传感器的远离显示基板一侧的表面上,与平坦区叠置且彼此间隔设置;第一柔性电路板经由第一邦定区和第二邦定区与触控传感器电连接;第一柔性电路板包括主体部以及从主体部突出且彼此间隔设置的第一邦定连接部和第二邦定连接部;以及第一邦定连接部与第一邦定区邦定而彼此电连接,第二邦定连接部与第二邦定区邦定而彼此电连接。例如,该显示模组可以更有效的利用显示模组背面的空间,并实现触控传感器和第一柔性电路板的邦定。
下面通过几个示例或实施例对根据本公开实施例提供的显示模组进行非限制性的说明,如下面所描述的,在不相互抵触的情况下这些具体示例或实施例中不同特征可以相互组合,从而得到新的示例或实施例,这些新的示例或实施例也都属于本公开保护的范围。
图5是本公开至少一个实施例提供的一种显示模组100的正视图。例如,该显示模组100可以是有源矩阵式有机发光二极管显示屏。如图5所示,该显示模组100包括显示基板110(例如,有机发光二极管显示面板)以及设置在显示基板110的显示侧上的触控传感器120。如图5所示,该显示模组100还包括第一柔性电路板130(也即,触控传感器电路板)和第四柔性电路板150(例如,覆晶薄膜)。需要说明的是,图5所示的显示模组100的第一柔性电路板130和第四柔性电路板150均未处于弯折状态。例如,图5所示显示模组100的俯视图可以类似于图4B示出的显示模组的俯视图,不再赘述。
例如,如图5所示,与第一方向D1交叉的第二方向D2具有第一侧191和第二侧192。例如,第二方向D2的第一侧191和第二侧192用于说明显示模组100以及显示模组100的部件在第二方向D2的两侧。例如,第二方向D2的第一侧191和第二侧192可分别用于表示显示模组100在第二方向D2上的第一侧和第二侧。又例如,第二方向D2的第一侧191和第二侧192可分别用于表示显示基板110在第二方向D2上的第一侧和第二侧。再例如,第二方向D2的第一侧191和第二侧192可分别用于表示触控传感器120在第二方向D2上的第一侧和第二侧。
图6A是图5所示的显示模组100的显示基板110和第四柔性电路板150的正视图。如图6A所示,显示基板110在第一方向D1上具有平坦区111以及位于平坦区111两侧的曲面区112,平坦区111和曲面区112之间具有 虚拟的分界线113(也可以被称为弯折起始线113)。需要说明的是,显示基板110的平坦区111、曲面区112和弯折起始线113分别对应于显示模组100的平坦区、曲面区和弯折起始线。
图6B是图6A所示的显示基板110的一个示例。例如,如图6B所示,显示基板110包括阵列排布的多个显示像素单元115,多个显示像素单元115不仅设置在平坦区111,还设置在平坦区111两侧的两个曲面区112。需要说明的是,在其它示例中,多个显示像素单元115还可以仅设置在平坦区111中,而不设置在曲面区112。
例如,如图6B所示,多个显示像素单元115的每个包括像素驱动电路116和与像素驱动电路116的发光元件117。例如,发光元件117为有机发光元件;例如,有机发光元件为有机发光二极管。例如,像素驱动电路116可以实现为2T1C像素驱动电路,即包括两个薄膜晶体管(即驱动晶体管和开关晶体管)以及存储电容,但本公开的实施例不限于此。又例如,像素驱动电路116可以实现为包括其它适用数目的晶体管和电容的像素驱动电路(例如,3T1C电路)。例如,显示基板110还包括多根栅线GL和多根数据线DL,多根栅线GL和多根数据线DL彼此交叉并限定多个显示像素单元115。例如,数据线DL用于连接开关晶体管的源极或漏极,以向开关晶体管提供显示用的数据信号;栅线GL用于连接开关晶体管的栅极,以向开关晶体管提供栅扫描信号。
如图6A所示,显示基板110还包括位于平坦区111的第三邦定区114(例如,第三邦定区114位于显示模组100的第一侧191);第四柔性电路板150包括第三邦定连接部151,第四柔性电路板150经由第三邦定连接部151和第三邦定区114与显示基板110邦定而与显示基板110电连接。例如,如图6B所示,显示基板110的多根数据线DL延伸到第三邦定区114中(多根数据线DL的一端位于第三邦定区114中),以与第四柔性电路板150的第三邦定连接部151邦定。
如图6A所示,第四柔性电路板150还包括与第三邦定连接部151连接的主体部152以及设置在第三邦定连接部151的主体部152上的驱动芯片153;驱动芯片153经由第四柔性电路板150与显示基板110邦定而由此与显示基板110电连接,从而第四柔性电路板150包括的驱动芯片153可以经由第四柔性电路板150驱动显示基板110。例如,驱动芯片153包括数据驱动 器、时序控制器T-Con等,驱动芯片153的数据驱动器可经由第四柔性电路板150向多根数据线DL提供显示用的数据信号。例如,显示模组还包括阵列基板上的栅驱动集成(GOA),GOA的多个输出端分别与多根栅线GL相连,以向多根栅线GL提供栅扫描信号。
需要说明的是,图6A所示的第四柔性电路板150(例如,第四柔性电路板150的第三邦定连接部151)未处于弯折状态;然而,在包括显示模组100的最终产品中,第四柔性电路板150(例如,第四柔性电路板150的第三邦定连接部151)处于弯折状态,且第四柔性电路板150的主体部152位于显示基板110的远离触控传感器120的一侧(也即,被弯折到显示基板110的背面);驱动芯片153位于显示基板110的远离触控传感器120一侧(例如,驱动芯片153位于第四柔性电路板150的主体部152的远离触控传感器120的一侧);这些内容将在图9所示的示例中进行详细描述,在此不再赘述。
图7A是图5所示的显示模组100的触控传感器120和第一柔性电路板130的正视图。需要说明的是,为方便描述,图7A还示出了显示基板110的弯折起始线113;可以理解,触控传感器120的位于弯折起始线113两侧的区域在显示模组100最终的产品中处于弯折状态,也即,触控传感器120位于弯折起始线113两侧的区域在显示模组100最终的产品中作为触控传感器120的曲面区。如图5和图7A所示,触控传感器120在位于与第一方向上交叉的第二方向的第一侧具有第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122;第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122位于触控传感器120的远离显示基板110一侧的表面上,与平坦区111叠置且彼此间隔设置,例如,第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122均不与曲面区112叠置。例如,第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122在显示基板110上的正投影(例如,显示基板110的平坦区111所在层上的正投影)位于平坦区111内。
例如,如图5所示,第三邦定区114与第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122在显示基板的平坦区111的正投影部分重叠。又例如,第三邦定114区位于第一邦定区121在显示基板的平坦区111的正投影和第二邦定区122在显示基板的平坦区111的正投影之间。
需要说明的是,触控传感器120在位于与第一方向上交叉的第二方向的第一侧是指触控传感器120在第二方向上的第一侧;触控传感器120在第二方向上的第一侧对应于显示模组的第一侧。
例如,通过使得触控传感器120在位于与第一方向D1上交叉的第二方向D2的第一侧191具有第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122,第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122与平坦区111叠置且彼此间隔设置,以及第一柔性电路板130经由第一邦定区121和第二邦定区122与触控传感器120电连接,可以有效利用显示模组100背面的空间,提升可用于第一柔性电路板130的走线区域的尺寸(可用于第一柔性电路板130的走线区域在第一方向D1上的总体宽度),由此可以在显示模组100具有曲面区,且不改变驱动芯片153在第一方向D1上的位置的情况下实现第一柔性电路板130与触控传感器120的邦定连接,由此可以避免因改变驱动芯片153在第一方向D1上的位置导致的显示基板110沿第一方向D1的潜在电学不均匀和亮度不均匀问题。
图7B为图7A所示的触控传感器120的一个示例。例如,如图7B所示,该触控传感器120为外挂式触摸屏(Add-on Mode Touch Panel),外挂式触摸屏与显示基板分开生产,然后贴合到显示基板的显示侧。
例如,如图7B所示,该触控传感器120包括阵列排布的多个自电容电极123以及与多个自电容电极123电连接的多根导线124,也即,该触控传感器120为自电容式触控传感器。例如,如图7B所示,多个自电容电极123不仅设置在显示模组100的平坦区内,还设置在显示模组100的曲面区内,也即,多个自电容电极123在显示基板110上的正投影不仅位于平坦区111,还位于在平坦区111两侧的两个曲面区112。需要说明的是,在其它示例中,多个自电容电极123还可以仅与平坦区111叠置,而不与曲面区112叠置,也即,多个自电容电极123在显示基板110上的正投影仅位于平坦区111,而不位于位于在平坦区111两侧的两个曲面区112。例如,如图7B所示,多根导线124的一部分延伸到触控传感器120的第一邦定区121,多根导线124的另一部分延伸到触控传感器120的第二邦定区122。
例如,如图7A所示,第一柔性电路板130包括主体部131以及从第一柔性电路板130的主体部131突出且彼此间隔设置的第一邦定连接部132和第二邦定连接部133;第一邦定连接部132与第一邦定区121(例如,与第一邦定区121中的导线124)邦定而彼此电连接,第二邦定连接部133与第二邦定区122(例如,与第二邦定区122中的导线124)邦定而彼此电连接。例如,第一柔性电路板130还包括触控侦测芯片(图中未示出);例如,触控侦测芯片设置在第一柔性电路板130的主体部131上。例如,触控侦测芯片被配置 为经由第一柔性电路板130和多根导线124向多个自电容电极123施加驱动信号,触控侦测芯片还被配置为经由第一柔性电路板130和多根导线124接收多个自电容电极123提供的反馈信号,并基于反馈信号确认是否有自电容电极123被触摸以及被触摸的自电容电极123所处的位置(也即,触控位置)。
需要说明的是,为方便描述,图7所示的第一柔性电路板130未处于弯折状态。然而,在包括显示模组100的最终产品中,第一柔性电路板130处于弯折状态,且第一柔性电路板130的主体部131位于显示基板110的远离触控传感器120的一侧(也即,被弯折到显示基板110的背面),触控侦测芯片位于第一柔性电路板130的主体部131的远离触控传感器120的一侧,这些内容将在图9所示的示例中进行详细描述,在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,触控传感器120不限于实现为自电容式触摸屏,还可以不限于实现为互电容式触摸屏。此种情况下,例如,触控传感器120可以包括两层相互异面且相交的条状电极(每层包括多个并列布置的条状电极),这两层条状电极分别作为触控传感器120的触控驱动电极和触控感应电极。例如,触控驱动电极和触控感应电极可以由透明导电氧化物制成。例如,透明导电氧化物可以为铟锡金属氧化物(Indium Tin Oxides,ITO)。例如,异面且相交的触控驱动电极和触控感应电极之间耦合产生阵列排布的多个互电容。当手指触碰屏幕时,位于手指对应区域的互电容的电容值会发生改变。例如,第一柔性电路板130上的触控侦测芯片可以经由第一柔性电路板130向触控驱动电极提供触控驱动信号,并经由第一柔性电路板130接收触控感应电极提供的触控感应信号。例如,触控侦测芯片可以基于手指触摸前后多个互电容值对应的电流的变化情况确定手指触摸点的位置。
图8是图5所示的显示模组100的一个截面示意图,且图8所示的截面示意图沿图5的BB’线剖切得到。需要说明的是,为方便描述,图8所示的显示模组100的第一柔性电路板130和第四柔性电路板150均未处于弯折状态。如图8所示,触控传感器120和显示基板110在第三方向D3上叠置,且触控传感器120在第三方向D3上位于显示基板110的显示侧(也即,发光侧或图像输出侧)。例如,第一方向D1、第二方向D2和第三方向D3彼此交叉(例如,彼此垂直)。
图9是图5所示的显示模组100的另一个截面示意图,相比于图8所示的截面示意图,在图9所示的截面示意图中,第一柔性电路板130和第四柔 性电路板150均处于弯折状态。如图9所示,部分第四柔性电路板150(第四柔性电路板150的主体部152)和部分第一柔性电路板130(第一柔性电路板130的主体部131、第一柔性电路板130的第一邦定连接部132的部分以及第一柔性电路板130的第二邦定连接部133的部分)均被弯折到显示基板110的背面(也即,显示基板110的远离触控传感器120的一侧)。
图10是图5所示的显示模组100的背视图(也即,从显示模组100背面观察获得的平面示意图)。例如,该显示模组100还包括第三柔性电路板(也即,显示模组100的主电路板);为方便描述,图10所示的显示模组100的背视图中还示出了第三柔性电路板160。
例如,如图10所示,第三柔性电路板160位于显示基板110的远离触控传感器120的一侧;第三柔性电路板160与第四柔性电路板150(例如,第四柔性电路板150的主体部152)邦定而彼此电连接;例如,第三柔性电路板160可以经由第四柔性电路板150(例如,第四柔性电路板150的主体部152)控制驱动芯片153,并经由驱动芯片153控制显示基板110实现显示功能。
例如,如图10所示,第一柔性电路板130和第三柔性电路板160通过邦定彼此电连接;例如,第三柔性电路板160可以经由第一柔性电路板130控制触控侦测芯片,并经由触控侦测芯片控制触控传感器120实现触控功能。
例如,如图10所示,第一柔性电路板130和第三柔性电路板160在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向上至少部分重叠。例如,如图10所示,第一柔性电路板130还包括从主体部131凸出的电连接区134,第一柔性电路板130的电连接区134位于主体部131的远离第一邦定连接部132和第二邦定连接部133的一侧;第一柔性电路板130的电连接区134与第三柔性电路板160在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向(也即,第三方向)上至少部分重叠,由此第一柔性电路板130可经由电连接区134与第三柔性电路板160邦定而彼此电连接。
例如,如图10所示,第三柔性电路板160包括主体部161,从第三柔性电路板160的主体部161凸出的连接部162以及与第三柔性电路板160的连接部162连接的连接端子163。例如,第一柔性电路板130的电连接区134与第三柔性电路板160的主体部161在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向上至少部分重叠。例如,第三柔性电路板160的连接端子163被配置为与显示装置的主板(图中未示出)相连,以接收主板提供的图像信号等。
例如,如图10所示,第一柔性电路板130的主体部131、第四柔性电路板150的主体部152、驱动芯片153以及第三柔性电路板160的主体部161均设置在显示模组100的平坦区,这是因为第一柔性电路板130的主体部131、第四柔性电路板150的主体部152、驱动芯片153以及第三柔性电路板160的主体部161的材质较硬,将第一柔性电路板130的主体部131、第四柔性电路板150的主体部152、驱动芯片153以及第三柔性电路板160的主体部161设置在平坦区可以避免弯折第一柔性电路板130的主体部131、第四柔性电路板150的主体部152、驱动芯片153以及第三柔性电路板160的主体部161导致的不良。
例如,如图10所示,驱动芯片153在显示基板110上的正投影位于第一柔性电路板130的第一邦定连接部132、第二邦定连接部133和主体部131在显示基板110上的平坦区111的正投影围成的区域中,且与第一柔性电路板130的第一邦定连接部132、第二邦定连接部133和主体部131在显示基板110上的平坦区111的正投影间隔设置,由此可以避免第一柔性电路板130覆盖驱动芯片153导致的不良。
例如,如图10所示,第一邦定连接部132和第二邦定连接部133在第一方向D1上位于驱动芯片153的两侧。例如,如图10所示,第一柔性电路板130的第一邦定连接部132、第二邦定连接部133和主体部131构成开口,且开口暴露驱动芯片153,由此可以避免第一柔性电路板130覆盖驱动芯片153导致的不良。
例如,如图10所示,第一柔性电路板130的主体部131位于第三柔性电路板160(例如,第三柔性电路板160的主体部161)的远离显示基板110的一侧。例如,如图10所示,第三柔性电路板160的主体部161、第四柔性电路板150的主体部152和第一柔性电路板130的主体部顺次设置在显示基板110的远离触控传感器120的一侧,且相比于第一柔性电路板130的主体部,第三柔性电路板160的主体部161更靠近显示基板110。
需要说明的是,第三柔性电路板160的主体部161、第四柔性电路板150的主体部152和第一柔性电路板130的主体部在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向的位置关系不限于图10所示的示例。在一个示例中,第四柔性电路板150的主体部152、第一柔性电路板130的主体部131和第三柔性电路板160的主体部161顺次设置在显示基板110的远离触控传感器120的一侧, 且相比于第三柔性电路板160的主体部161,第四柔性电路板150的主体部152更靠近显示基板110。在另一个示例中,第四柔性电路板150的主体部152、第三柔性电路板160的主体部161和第一柔性电路板130的主体部131顺次设置在显示基板110的远离触控传感器120的一侧,且相比于第一柔性电路板130的主体部131,第四柔性电路板150的主体部152更靠近显示基板110。
需要说明的是,图5和图10所示的第一柔性电路板130、第四柔性电路板150、第三柔性电路板160的形状、连接和排布仅为示例,本公开的实施例不限于此。图11是本公开至少一个实施例提供的另一种显示模组100的触控传感器120和第一柔性电路板130的正视图,图12是图11所示的显示模组100的背视图。例如,第一柔性电路板130、第四柔性电路板150(第四柔性电路板150的主体部152和驱动芯片153)、第三柔性电路板160的形状、连接和排布还可以采用图11和图12所示的示例。
现在重新参考图8和图9,例如,显示模组100还包括邦定支撑结构141;邦定支撑结构141分别与第一邦定连接部132和第二邦定连接部133在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向上叠置,且位于第一柔性电路板130的第一邦定连接部132与触控传感器120接触的部分的远离触控传感器120的一侧。例如,通过设置邦定支撑结构141,可以避免第一柔性电路板130被弯折时第一邦定连接部132的端部(也即,第一邦定连接部132与触控传感器120接触的部分)和第二邦定连接部133端部(也即,第二邦定连接部133与触控传感器120接触的部分)翘起,以及第一邦定连接部132的端部和第二邦定连接部133端部翘起导致的邦定失效,由此可以提升触控传感器120与第一柔性电路板130邦定连接的鲁棒性和信赖性。
例如,邦定支撑结构141的材料可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不作具体限定。例如,邦定支撑结构141可以为泡棉层或聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯层,此种情况下,邦定支撑结构141不仅可以提升触控传感器120与第一柔性电路板130邦定连接的鲁棒性和信赖性,还可以避免第一邦定连接部132的端部和第二邦定连接部133端部反光,由此可以避免显示模组100的显示效果的劣化。
例如,邦定支撑结构141可以包括在第一方向间隔设置的第一邦定支撑结构和第二邦定支撑结构,且第一邦定支撑结构和第二邦定支撑结构分别与第一邦定连接部132的端部和第二邦定连接部133的端部叠置。又例如,邦 定支撑结构141可以不仅与第一邦定连接部132的端部和第二邦定连接部133的端部叠置,还与第一邦定连接部132的端部和第二邦定连接部133的端部之间的间隙叠置。
例如,如图8和图9所示,显示模组100还包括盖板142。盖板142位于设置在显示基板110的显示侧,且位于触控传感器120的远离显示基板110的一侧。例如,盖板142可用于防护该显示模组100的相关膜层不被划伤。例如,盖板142可以为透明基板。例如,透明基板可以是玻璃基板、石英基板、塑料基板(例如聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)基板)或者由其它适用的材料制成的基板。例如,盖板142的位于显示模组100的曲面区的部分具有一定的弯折曲率,由此显示基板110和触控传感器120位于显示模组100的曲面区的部分可以沿着盖板142的弯折曲率进行弯折。
例如,如图8和图9所示,邦定支撑结构141夹置在第一柔性电路板130和盖板142之间;此种情况下,盖板142不仅具有防护该显示模组100的相关膜层不被划伤的功能,还可以经由邦定支撑结构141向第一邦定连接部132的端部和第二邦定连接部133端部施加向下的作用力,由此可以进一步提升触控传感器120与第一柔性电路板130邦定连接的鲁棒性和信赖性。例如,如图8和图9所示,邦定支撑结构141与第一柔性电路板130和盖板142均直接接触。
例如,显示模组100还包括偏光片143。例如,该偏光片143为圆偏光片。例如,偏光片143位于触控传感器120与盖板142之间。例如,偏光片143(例如,圆偏光片)可以缓解反射光(源于显示基板对环境光线的反射)引起的对比度变差、显示质量降低的问题。
例如,显示模组100还包括设置在偏光片143和盖板142之间以及触控传感器120和显示基板110之间的粘合层144,粘合层144例如可以为光学胶。例如,光学胶144可以为OCA(Optically Clear Adhesive)光学胶。
例如,邦定支撑结构141和第一邦定连接部132在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向上的厚度之和实质上等于触控传感器120与盖板142之间的间距在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向上的厚度;此种情况下,邦定支撑结构141可以与第一柔性电路板130和盖板142均直接接触,由此盖板142还可以经由邦定支撑结构141向第一邦定连接部132的端部和第二邦定连接部133端部施加向下的作用力,以进一步提升触控传感器120与第 一柔性电路板130邦定连接的鲁棒性和信赖性。
例如,邦定支撑结构141和第一邦定连接部132在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向上的厚度之和实质上等于偏光片143和粘合层144(位于盖板142和偏光片143之间的粘合层144)在垂直于显示基板110的平坦区111的方向上的厚度之和。
图13是本公开至少一个实施例提供的再一种显示模组200的正视图。例如,该显示模组200可以是有源矩阵式有机发光二极管显示屏。如图13所示,该显示模组200包括显示基板210(例如,有机发光二极管显示面板)以及设置在显示基板210的显示侧上的触控传感器220。如图13所示,该显示模组200还包括第一柔性电路板230(也即,触控传感器220电路板)。需要说明的是,图13所示的显示模组200的第一柔性电路板230均未处于弯折状态且显示基板210的折叠部未处于折叠状态。
图14A是图13所示的显示模组200的显示基板210和驱动芯片250的正视图。如图14A所示,第二方向D2具有第一侧291和第二侧292。例如,第二方向D2的第一侧291和第二侧292用于说明显示模组200以及显示模组200的部件在第二方向D2的两侧。例如,第二方向D2的第一侧291和第二侧292可分别用于表示触控传感器220在第二方向D2上的第一侧和第二侧。又例如,第二方向D2的第一侧291和第二侧292可分别用于表示基板主体部211在第二方向D2上的第一侧和第二侧。
如图14A所示,显示基板210包括基板主体部211以及在第一侧291(基板主体部211的第一侧)从基板主体部211凸出的折叠部212。例如,显示基板210的折叠部212靠近还包括设置在显示基板210的基板主体部211和显示基板210的折叠部212之间的弯折部(图中未标示),弯折部的对置侧分别与显示基板210的基板主体部211和折叠部212相连。例如,在显示模组200的最终产品中,显示基板210的弯折部被弯折,且显示基板210的折叠部212被弯折到基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧,也即,在显示模组200的最终产品中,显示基板210处于折叠状态。
例如,显示基板210的弯折部配置为可以使得基板主体部211和折叠部212在垂直于基板主体部211的方向上彼此平行且叠置。例如,显示基板210的折叠部212和弯折部均位于显示基板210的周边区域,显示基板210的显示区域位于显示基板210的基板主体部211中。例如,通过设置弯折部和折 叠部212,可以减小基板主体部211所在平面中周边区域的面积,有利于显示模组200的窄边框设计。
如图14A所示,基板主体部211包括平坦区213以及曲面区214,平坦区213和曲面区214之间具有虚拟的分界线(也可以被称为弯折起始线215)。需要说明的是,显示基板210的平坦区213、曲面区214和弯折起始线215分别对应于显示模组200的平坦区、曲面区和弯折起始线。
例如,如图14A和图17所示,显示模组200还包括位于显示基板210的远离触控传感器220一侧的驱动芯片250。例如,驱动芯片250包括数据驱动器、栅极驱动器、时序控制器T-Con等。如图14A所示,驱动芯片250位于折叠部212的远离触控传感器220一侧(远离基板主体部211的一侧),且驱动芯片250直接邦定(例如,直接形成)在折叠部212上,而由此与显示基板210电连接。例如,通过使得驱动芯片250直接邦定(例如,直接形成,直接集成)在折叠部212上,可以在不使用柔性电路板的情况下实现驱动芯片250和显示基板210的电连接,由此可以简化显示模组200的结构。
图14B是图14A所示的显示基板210和驱动芯片250的一个示例。例如,如图6B所示,显示基板210包括多根栅线GL和多根数据线DL,多根栅线GL和多根数据线DL彼此交叉并限定阵列排布的多个显示像素单元216;多个显示像素单元216的每个包括像素驱动电路217和与像素驱动电路217的发光元件218。例如,如图6B所示,显示基板210的多根数据线DL直接与驱动芯片250直接邦定而彼此电连接,驱动芯片250的数据驱动器可经由数据线DL向像素驱动电路217提供显示用的数据信号,驱动芯片250的栅极驱动器可经由栅线GL向像素驱动电路217提供显示用的栅扫描信号,由此驱动芯片250可以驱动显示基板210实现显示功能。例如,驱动芯片250直接形成在折叠部212上,且驱动芯片250与延伸到折叠部212中的多根数据线DL电连接。例如,驱动芯片250还可以与多根栅线GL电连接。例如,图14B所示的显示像素单元216、栅线GL、数据线DL和驱动芯片250的其它描述可以参见图6B所示的示例,在此不再赘述。
图14C是图13所示的显示模组200的触控传感器220和第一柔性电路板230的正视图。需要说明的是,为方便描述,图14C还示出了显示基板210的弯折起始线215;可以理解,位于弯折起始线215两侧的触控传感器220在显示模组200最终的产品中处于弯折状态。需要说明的是,图14C所示的 第一柔性电路板230未处于弯折状态。
如图13和图14C所示,触控传感器220在第二方向D2的第一侧291具有第一邦定区221和第二邦定区222;第一邦定区221和第二邦定区222与平坦区213叠置且在第一方向D1上彼此间隔设置,也即,第一邦定区221和第二邦定区222在显示基板210上的正投影仅位于平坦区213内。例如,第一邦定区221和第二邦定区222均不与曲面区214叠置。
例如,通过使得触控传感器220在位于与第一方向D1上交叉的第二方向D2的第一侧291具有第一邦定区221和第二邦定区222,第一邦定区221和第二邦定区222位于触控传感器220的远离显示基板210一侧的表面上,与平坦区213叠置且彼此间隔设置,以及第一柔性电路板230经由第一邦定区221和第二邦定区222与触控传感器220电连接,可以有效利用显示模组200背面的空间,提升可用于第一柔性电路板230的走线区域的尺寸(可用于第一柔性电路板230的走线区域的在第一方向D1上的总体宽度),由此可以在显示模组200具有曲面区,且不改变驱动芯片250在第一方向D1上的位置的情况下实现第一柔性电路板230与触控传感器220的邦定连接,由此可以避免因改变驱动芯片250在第一方向D1上的位置导致的显示基板210沿第一方向D1的潜在电学不均匀和亮度不均匀问题。
例如,如图14C所示,第一柔性电路板230包括主体部231以及从第一柔性电路板230的主体部231突出且彼此间隔设置的第一邦定连接部232和第二邦定连接部233;第一邦定连接部232与第一邦定区221(例如,与第一邦定区221中的导线)邦定而彼此电连接,第二邦定连接部233与第二邦定区222(例如,与第二邦定区222中的导线)邦定而彼此电连接。例如,图14C所示的触控传感器220和第一柔性电路板230的具体实现方式可以参见图7A和图7B所示的示例,在此不再赘述。
图15是图13所示的显示模组200的一个截面示意图,且图15所示的截面示意图沿图13的CC’线剖切得到。图6所示的显示模组200的第一柔性电路板230和显示基板210的弯折部均未处于弯折状态。如图8所示,触控传感器220和显示基板210在第三方向D3上叠置,且触控传感器220在第三方向D3上位于显示基板210的显示侧(也即,发光侧或图像输出侧)。例如,第一方向D1、第二方向D2和第三方向D3彼此交叉(例如,彼此垂直)。
图16是图13所示的显示模组200的另一个截面示意图,相比于图15所示的截面示意图,在图16所示的截面示意图中,第一柔性电路板230和显示基板210的弯折部均处于弯折状态。如图16所示,显示基板210的折叠部212和部分第一柔性电路板230(第一柔性电路板230的主体部231、部分第一邦定连接部232以及部分第二邦定连接部233)均被弯折到显示基板210的背面(也即,显示基板210的远离触控传感器220的一侧)。
如图15和图16所示,显示模组200还包括邦定支撑结构241、盖板242、偏光片243和粘合层244。例如,邦定支撑结构241、盖板242、偏光片243和光学胶244的具体实现方式可以参见图8和图9所示的邦定支撑结构141、盖板142、偏光片143和粘合层144,在此不再赘述。
图17是图13所示的显示模组200的背视图。例如,该显示模组200还包括第三柔性电路板260(也即,显示模组200的主电路板);为方便描述,图17是所示的背视图中还示出了第三柔性电路板260。
如图17所示,第三柔性电路板260位于显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧;第一柔性电路板230和第三柔性电路板260通过邦定彼此电连接。例如,如图17所示,第一柔性电路板230和第三柔性电路板260在垂直于显示基板210的平坦区213的方向上至少部分重叠。例如,如图17所示,第一柔性电路板230还包括从第一柔性电路板230的主体部231凸出的电连接区234,第一柔性电路板230的电连接区234位于主体部231的远离第一邦定连接部232和第二邦定连接部233的一侧;第一柔性电路板230的电连接区234与第三柔性电路板260在垂直于显示基板210的平坦区213的方向上至少部分重叠,由此第一柔性电路板230可经由电连接区234与第三柔性电路板260邦定而彼此电连接。例如,第一柔性电路板230还包括触控侦测芯片,第三柔性电路板260可以经由第一柔性电路板230控制触控侦测芯片,并经由触控侦测芯片控制触控传感器220实现触控功能。
例如,第三柔性电路板260还与驱动芯片250邦定而彼此电连接,由此第三柔性电路板260可以经由驱动芯片250控制显示基板210实现显示功能。
例如,如图17所示,第三柔性电路板260包括主体部261,从第三柔性电路板260的主体部261凸出的连接部262以及与第三柔性电路板260的连接部262连接的连接端子263。例如,第三柔性电路板260的连接端子263被配置为与主板相连,以接收主板提供的图像信号等。例如,如图7所示, 第一柔性电路板230的主体部231、基板主体部211、驱动芯片250以及第三柔性电路板260的主体部261均设置在显示模组200的平坦区。
例如,如图17所示,驱动芯片250在显示基板210的平坦区213上的正投影位于第一柔性电路板230的第一邦定连接部232、第二邦定连接部233和主体部231在显示基板210的平坦区213上的正投影围成的区域中,且与第一柔性电路板230的第一邦定连接部232、第二邦定连接部233和主体部231在显示基板210的平坦区213上的正投影间隔设置,由此可以避免第一柔性电路板230覆盖驱动芯片250导致的不良。
例如,如图17所示,第一柔性电路板230的第一邦定连接部232、第二邦定连接部233和主体部231构成开口,且开口暴露驱动芯片250,由此可以避免第一柔性电路板230覆盖驱动芯片250导致的不良。
例如,如图17所示,第三柔性电路板260的主体部261、显示基板210的折叠部212和第一柔性电路板230的主体部231顺次设置在显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧,且相比于第一柔性电路板230的主体部231,第三柔性电路板260的主体部261更靠近显示基板210的基板主体部211。
需要说明的是,第三柔性电路板260的主体部261、显示基板210的折叠部212和第一柔性电路板230的主体部231在垂直于显示基板210的平坦区231的方向的位置关系不限于图17所示的示例。在一个示例中,显示基板210的折叠部212、第一柔性电路板230的主体部231和第三柔性电路板260的主体部261顺次设置在显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧,且相比于第三柔性电路板260的主体部261,显示基板210的折叠部212更靠近显示基板210的基板主体部211。在另一个示例中,显示基板210的折叠部212、第三柔性电路板260的主体部261和第一柔性电路板230的主体部231和顺次设置在显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧,且相比于第一柔性电路板230的主体部231,显示基板210的折叠部212更靠近显示基板210的基板主体部211。
需要说明的是,图17所示的显示模组200的驱动芯片250不限于直接邦定在基板主体部211上,在一些示例中,驱动芯片250还可以经由柔性电路板邦定在基板主体部211上。下面结合图18A、图18B和图19进行示例性说明。
图18A是本公开至少一个实施例提供的又再一种显示模组200的显示基板210和第二柔性电路板270的正视图。图18A所示的显示模组200与图13所示的显示模组200类似,因此此处将仅阐述两者的不同之处,相同之处不再赘述。
如图18A所示,该显示模组200还包括第二柔性电路板270,第二柔性电路板270包括驱动芯片250;第二柔性电路板270与显示基板210邦定而彼此电连接,由此实现了驱动芯片250与显示基板210的邦定连接。图18B是图18A所示的显示基板210和第二柔性电路板270的一个示例。如图18B所示,第二柔性电路板270与显示基板210的数据线DL邦定连接,由此驱动芯片250经由第二柔性电路板270与显示基板210的数据线DL电连接。
图19是图18A所示的显示模组200的背视图。如图19所示,第二柔性电路板270位于折叠部212的远离基板主体部211的一侧且与折叠部212邦定,驱动芯片250位于第二柔性电路板270远离折叠部212一侧。如图19所示,显示模组200还包括位于显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧第三柔性电路板260,第三柔性电路板260包括主体部261,第三柔性电路板260的主体部261与第二柔性电路板270邦定而彼此电连接,因此,第三柔性电路板260可经由驱动芯片250驱动显示基板210。
例如,如图19所示,驱动芯片250在显示基板210的平坦区213上的正投影位于第一柔性电路板230的第一邦定连接部232、第二邦定连接部233和主体部231在显示基板210的平坦区213上的正投影围成的区域中,且与第一柔性电路板230的第一邦定连接部232、第二邦定连接部233和主体部231在显示基板210的平坦区213上的正投影间隔设置,由此可以避免第一柔性电路板230覆盖驱动芯片250导致的不良。
例如,如图19所示,第三柔性电路板260的主体部261、显示基板210的折叠部212、第二柔性电路板270和第一柔性电路板230的主体部231顺次设置在显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧,且相比于第一柔性电路板230的主体部231,第三柔性电路板260的主体部261更靠近显示基板210的基板主体部211。
需要说明的是,第三柔性电路板260的主体部261、显示基板210的折叠部212、第二柔性电路板270和第一柔性电路板230的主体部231在垂直于显示基板210的平坦区231的方向的位置关系不限于图19所示的示例。在一个 示例中,显示基板210的折叠部212、第二柔性电路板270、第一柔性电路板230的主体部231和第三柔性电路板260的主体部261顺次设置在显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧,且相比于第三柔性电路板260的主体部261,显示基板210的折叠部212更靠近显示基板210的基板主体部211。在另一个示例中,显示基板210的折叠部212、第二柔性电路板270、第三柔性电路板260的主体部261和第一柔性电路板230的主体部231顺次设置在显示基板210的基板主体部211的远离触控传感器220的一侧,且相比于第一柔性电路板230的主体部231,显示基板210的折叠部212更靠近显示基板210的基板主体部211。
本公开的至少一个实施例还提供了一种显示装置。图20是本公开至少一个实施例提供的显示装置的示例性框图。如图20所示,该显示装置包括本公开的至少一个实施例提供的任一显示模组。
需要说明的是,对于该显示模组和显示装置的其它组成部分(例如,图像数据编码/解码装置、时钟电路等)可以采用适用的部件,这些均是本领域的普通技术人员所应该理解的,在此不做赘述,也不应作为对本公开的限制。
虽然上文中已经用一般性说明及具体实施方式,对本公开作了详尽的描述,但在本公开实施例基础上,可以对之作一些修改或改进,这对本领域技术人员而言是显而易见的。因此,在不偏离本公开精神的基础上所做的这些修改或改进,均属于本公开要求保护的范围。
以上所述仅是本公开的示范性实施方式,而非用于限制本公开的保护范围,本公开的保护范围由所附的权利要求确定。
