- the folding and unfolding operations of the flexible display are performed while the flexible display is relatively fixed to the fixed substrate 20 . will wake up
- the ultra-thin glass of the present invention which protects the surface of the flexible display applied to the in-folding method, is also fixed to the fixed substrate 20 (a substrate fixed without bending of a metal or plastic material) so that folding and unfolding operations occur. it can only be
- the value of the gap G between the substrates shown in FIG. 1A is determined according to the radius of curvature of the ultra-thin glass 10 . That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 (B) and 1 (C), the two fixed substrates 20 are rotated and moved to be folded, and the ultra-thin film attached to the two fixed substrates 20 The glass 10 is also folded together.
- the G value exists because the radius of curvature must exist at least.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram of another embodiment of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 1 (A) is an embodiment in which the interval between the two fixed substrates 20 is spaced apart by G
- FIG. 2 is an embodiment in which the two fixed substrates 20 are in contact with each other.
- the gap G also exists in FIG. 2 .
- the ultra-thin glass 10 is fixed to the fixed substrate 20 by an adhesive or fixing means, but in the non-fixed area (gap G) shown in FIG. 2, the ultra-thin glass 10 is fixed. It is not fixed to the substrate 20 (or is not adhered), but only in a state of being placed on it.

- the thickness is called "UL"
- the thickness of the "LL” should be greater than the thickness of the "UL”.
- the basis for "the thickness of the LL must be greater than the thickness of the UL" is as follows.
- the TFT layer 52a in the flexible display must exist at the center of gravity.
- the weight of the "UL layer” and the weight of the "LL layer” must be the same or similar within the error range.
- the density of tempered glass is 2.54 (2.76 for other types)), and the general density of resin is 0.915 to 0.925, so the density of tempered glass is 2.76 times or 3 times higher than that of resin on average.

- the thickness of the SUS (or metal alloy or metal) layer 26 may be made thinner than the thickness of the ultra-thin film. This is because the density of SUS (or metal alloy or metal) is lower than that of super-film glass, and it is natural that the high-density layer is made to be low in order to balance the weight.
- the weight of SUS is heavier than UTG, and consequently, the thickness of UL becomes thicker than that of LL.” , and the value obtained by subtracting the thickness of SUS from LL is called LL1, and the thickness of the SUS layer can be called S. Then, it also means that the value of “T-S” may be larger than the value of “UL1 - LL1”.
- the density of SUS is 8.52 times greater than that of resin, and the density of ultra-thin glass is 2.88 times greater than that of resin.

- the transmittance and thickness of the upper substrate 52a-1 and the lower substrate 52a-2 in the digitizer layer 52a are manufactured according to the transmittance and thickness of the insulating layer 52a-5. That is, the transmittances of the upper substrate 52a-1 and the lower substrate 52a-2 should be 90% or more, and it is more preferable to maintain 97% to 98% or more to be sufficient.
- the thickness of the upper substrate 52a-1 and the lower substrate 52a-2 is preferably 0.1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m or 10 ⁇ m.
- the thickness of the insulating layer 52a - 5 should be smaller than the thickness of the encap 50b.
- the flexible display 50' is wound on two rolls 100-1 and 100-2.
- the display 50' shown in FIGS. 24 to 26 means a flexible display 50' to which all films having various functions and ultra-thin glass are integrally attached.
- the first roll 100-1 and the second roll 100-2 form a pair, and the flexible display 50' wound on the first roll 100-1 is formed by the second roll 100-2. ), and the flexible display 50 ′ wound on the second roll 100 - 2 may be transferred to the first roll 100 - 1 .
- the rolls 100-1 and 100-2 may have a cylindrical shape and may wind the flexible display 50', which is a film having a constant width.
- the distance between the first roll 100-1 and the second roll 100-2 is made close to each other, and the first and second rolls are flexible.
- the display 50' may be wound.
- the flexible display 50' may be wound or unwound on both the first roll 100-1 and the second roll 100-2, and the first roll 100-1 and the first roll 100-1 may be unwound. ) and the second roll 100 - 2 , the flexible display 50 ′ may be wound or unwound on only one roll.
- 26 is a view illustrating a method in which the flexible display 50' is wound on at least one of the first roll 100-1 and the second roll 100-2.
- the diameters of the first and second rolls 100-1 and 100-2 are referred to as D2, and the flexible display 50' is maximally wound (the first and second rolls 100-1 and 100-2). 2)
- the diameter of the state in which the distance between them is closest) is referred to as D1 (the value of the sum of the thicknesses of the multiple layers of the flexible display wound up to the maximum and the diameters of the rolls 100-1 and 100-2), and the flexible display Let the thickness of (50') be T.
- FIG. 27 is a view showing a plan view of a flexible display wound on a roll.
- the left view of FIG. 27 is a view of a state in which the distance between the first roll and the second roll 100-1 and 100-2 is the closest, and the right view of FIG. 27 is the first roll and the second roll 100- 1) The distance between (100-2) is the farthest.
- L1 be the length of the width of the flexible display unfolded when the two rolls 100-1 and 100-2 are closest to each other, and the flexible display unfolded when the two rolls 100-1 and 100-2 are most distant from each other is referred to as L1.
- the length of the width of the display may be referred to as L2.
- L2 - L1 2 ⁇ (D/2) + 2 ⁇ (D/2 + T) + 2 ⁇ (D/2 + 2T) + - - - + 2 ⁇ (D/2 + nT)
- T is the flexible display thickness
- the value of the L1 and L2 should be taken into account of the actual width of the smartphone, and when the length of the width of the smartphone is large, it may be 100 mm, and thus the value of L2 may be set to 200 mm, and The value of L1 can be set to 20mm, which is 1/5 of the width of the smartphone. Therefore, the maximum value of L2 - L1 is 180m.
- the minimum value of L2 - L1 is increased by two times the width of the smartphone by the rollable effect, and the width of the smartphone is also 5 cm instead of 10 cm. Assuming that the size of is only doubled, the minimum value of L2 - L1 is 50 mm,
- the R value of the ultra-thin glass 10 used in the present invention is 1.5, and in consideration of the realistic structure, the value of D2 may be 2 mm. Of course, considering the thickness of the smartphone device, the D2 value can be set to 20mm.
- n is the range of the number of times the flexible display 50' is wound around the first roll 100-1 or the second roll 100-2.
- the thickness of the rolls 100-1 and 100-2 can be actually used from 2 mm to 20 mm, and by reflecting the thickness of the rolls 100-1 and 100-2 used, the formula (1) ) (2), the range of n values is obtained.
- the range of n is obtained by substituting a value of 2 into the equations (1) and (2) above.
- the thickness of the rolls 100-1 and 100-2 is 20 mm, it means that the value is obtained by substituting a value of 20 into the equations (1) and (2).
- the number n of the number of times the flexible display 50' is wound around the rolls 100-1 and 100-2 is determined by the diameter values of the rolls 100-1 and 100-2.
