在一些实施例中,显示器件层3可以包括发出光线的膜层,例如,显示器件层3可以包括OLED发光层,OLED发光层包括多个呈阵列排布的像素单元,这些像素单元发出光线以使得显示器件层3能够显示画面。在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2还包括触控层,触控层可以设置在显示器件层3的上方用于接收用户触摸操作或保护显示器件层3。在一些实施例中,触控层可以包括触控器件,用于使用户对所述柔性显示设备100进行触摸控制。在一些实施例中,触控层可以包括非接触式感应器件,用于使用户通过相关姿势来对柔性显示设备100的控制。在一些实施例中,触控层可以保护显示器件层3免受撞击损坏的盖板玻璃。
在一些实施例中,阵列结构层4可以用于为显示器件层3提供与显示相关的控制器件。在一些实施例中,阵列结构层4可以包括像素驱动电路,像素驱动电路与显示器件层3电性链接以用于控制显示器件层3的显示画面。在一些实施例中,像素驱动电路可以包括但不限于TFT(Thin Film Transistor)器件和电容器件等。
在一些实施例中,柔性基底5可以是屏幕组件2的基材膜层,用于支撑显示器件层3和阵列结构层4。在一些实施例中,柔性基底5的材料可以包括但不限于聚酰亚胺(Polyimide,PI)材料、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(Polyethylene terephthalate,PET)材料、聚苯并咪唑(Polybenzimidazoles,PBI)材料、聚醚醚酮(Polyetheretherketone,PEEK)材料、聚偏氟乙烯(Polyvinylidene fluoride,PVDF)材料、聚醚类塑料(Polyphenylenesulphide,PPS)材料,以及上述材料的任意组合;在另外的实施例中,柔性基底5还可以是具有弯曲性能的玻璃材料,仅需保证玻璃厚度符合弯折需求即可。在一些实施例中,在柔性基底层5的若干组合材料中,聚酰亚胺的质量占比为50%~100%;在一些实施例中,在柔性基底层5的若干组合材料中,聚酰亚胺的质量占比为60%~90%。在一些实施例中,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯的质量占比为0~20%;在一些实施例中,聚对 苯二甲酸乙二醇酯的质量占比为0~10%;在一些实施例中,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯的质量占比为0~4%。在一些实施例中,聚苯并咪唑的质量占比为0~30%;在一些实施例中,聚苯并咪唑的质量占比为5~20%;在一些实施例中,聚醚醚酮的质量占比为0~4%。在一些实施例中,聚偏氟乙烯的质量占比为0~10%;在一些实施例中,聚偏氟乙烯的质量占比为0~5%。在一些实施例中,聚醚类塑料的质量占比为0~10%;在一些实施例中,聚醚类塑料的质量占比为0~5%。

在一些实施例中,由于屏幕组件2具备可卷曲的性能,当屏幕组件2处于展开状态时,屏幕组件2的表面受到力的作用可能无法保持平坦,从而影响屏幕组件2的显示效果。本申请实施例的屏幕组件2在具有不同刚度需求的方向能够获得不同的刚度。在沿其卷曲方向的第一方向,屏幕组件2可以获得较低的刚度,使得屏幕组件2容易卷曲收纳;在垂直于其卷曲方向的第二方向,屏幕组件2可以获得较高的刚度,使得整个屏幕组件2不易因外力的作用发生变形,进而保证屏幕组件2的显示效果。
本申请一些实施例的屏幕组件2的背面可以设置支撑结构,支撑结构能够带来第一方向的较低的刚性和第二方向较高的刚性,使屏幕组件2既具备易卷曲的性能,又能保证其展开时的平整性。以下结合附图详细描述该结构。
应当理解的是,本说明书的一个或多个实施例的系统及方法的应用场景仅仅是本说明书的一个或多个实施例的一些示例,对于本领域的普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图将本说明书的一个或多个实施例应用于其它类似情景。例如,其他类似的显示系统。

在一些实施例中,电源接口30和信号接口40也可以一体实现,即柔性显示设备200可以提供一个接口,该接口可以在将柔性显示设备200与信号源连接的同时,为柔性显示设备提供电源连接。需要注意的是,柔性显示设备200也可以没有电源接口30和信号接口40,其不会影响柔性显示设备200的显示性能及支撑性能,本申请对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,柔性显示设备200的屏幕组件2可以在需要显示时展开(如图3A、3B所示),在不需要显示时通过卷曲的方式收起(如图3C所示)。在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2卷曲时,可以沿卷曲方向,从屏幕组件2的两端开始卷曲;也可以从屏幕组件2的其中一端开始卷曲。在一些实施例中,所述屏幕组件2的卷曲方向是指屏幕组件2从开始卷曲的一端向另一端进行卷动的方向。在一些实施例中,参照图3A所示,屏幕组件2的卷曲方向可以是第一方向1001,与卷曲方向垂直的方向可以是第二方向1002。
在一些实施例中,参见图4A、4B,柔性显示设备200可以为单轴卷曲形式,此时,柔性显示设备200还可以包括一个支撑轴6,支撑轴6沿第二方向1002固定于屏幕组件2垂直于第一方向1001的任意一个端部侧边。其中,所述支撑轴6设置在所述屏幕组件2的一端。在一些实施例中,所述支撑轴6的轴线平行于所述第二方向,以使所述屏幕组件2能够沿所述第一方向围绕所述支撑轴6卷曲。在一些实施例中,在屏幕组件2展开时,所述支撑轴6可以用于沿第二方向1002支撑屏幕组件2。在一些实施例中,在屏幕组件2卷曲时,所述支撑轴6可以作为卷曲的中心轴,支撑卷曲后的屏幕组件2。本实施例的柔性显示设备200在屏幕组件2展开时,支撑轴6可以对屏幕组件2进行支撑,提高屏幕组件2保持平坦的能力;在屏幕组件2卷曲时,支撑轴6可以使屏幕组件2更容易卷曲,并且卷曲后所占用的空间较小。
在一些实施例中,参见图5A、5B,柔性显示设备200也可以为双轴卷曲形式,此时,柔性显示设备200可以包括两个支撑轴6,所述两个支撑轴6沿第二方向1002分别固定于屏幕组件2垂直于第一方向1001的两个相对的侧边。其中,两个支撑轴6的轴线都平行于所述第二方向,以使所述屏幕组件2沿所述第一方向分别围绕所述两个支撑轴6进行卷曲。在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2卷曲时,两个支撑轴6的转动方向相反,即在屏幕组件2卷曲的过程中,两个支撑轴6分别沿第一方向相对转动,最后转至相互接触的位置,如图5B所示。在一些实施例中,在屏幕组件2展开时,所述两个支撑轴6可以用于沿第二方向1002分别支撑屏幕组件2的两侧。在一些实施例中,在屏 幕组件2卷曲时,两个支撑轴6沿着相反的旋转方向转动,两个支撑轴6可以分别作为卷曲时的支撑轴,将屏幕组件2的屏幕组件2和支撑结构20卷绕在支撑轴6的外表面上,如图5B所示。在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2卷曲时,两个支撑轴6的转动方向相反(例如,其中一个支撑轴6顺时针转动,另一个支撑轴6逆时针转动),并且在屏幕组件2卷曲的过程中,两个支撑轴6分别沿第一方向相向移动,最后转至相互接触的位置,形成如图5B所示的“双筒望远镜”的形状。在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2卷曲时,两个支撑轴6的转动方向相同(例如,两个支撑轴6都顺时针转动,或者两个支撑轴6都逆时针转动),并且在屏幕组件2卷曲的过程中,两个支撑轴6分别沿第一方向相向移动,最后转至相互接触的位置,形成“8”字形状。本实施例的柔性显示设备200在屏幕组件2展开时,支撑轴6可以从两侧对屏幕组件2进行支撑,其支撑能力更强,屏幕组件2更易保持平坦;在卷曲时,支撑轴6也可以起到辅助卷曲的作用。
在一些实施例中,柔性显示设备200也可以没有支撑轴6,屏幕组件2卷曲时,可以通过手动辅助的方式,直接将屏幕组件2卷起,屏幕组件2自身卷绕起来,不再卷绕在支撑轴6上。此时,屏幕组件2可以从任意一端向另一端卷起,也可以从两端向中间卷起。
在一些实施例中,如图4A、4B所示,柔性显示设备200还可以包括收纳装置7。在一些实施例中,收纳装置7可以用于在屏幕组件2卷曲时对屏幕组件2进行收纳,保护其免受外物的损伤或污染。在一些实施例中,支撑轴6可以设置于收纳装置7内部。在一些实施例中,收纳装置7可以沿第二方向1002设置于屏幕组件2垂直于第一方向1001的任意一个端部侧边处。在一些实施例中,收纳装置7的个数可以与支撑轴6的个数相同。例如,柔性显示设备200为单轴卷曲形式,收纳装置7可以是一个,设置在所述屏幕组件2的其中一端。又例如,柔性显示设备200为双轴卷曲形式,收纳装置7可以是两个,分别设置在所述屏幕组件2的两端。
在一些实施例中,若柔性显示设备200为单轴卷曲形式,参见图4A,支撑轴6可以不始终收纳于收纳装置7内,收纳装置7与支撑轴6可以分别设置在屏幕组件2的相对两侧边。在一些实施例中,当屏幕组件2展开时,收纳装置7位于与支撑轴6相对的一侧,收纳装置7和支撑轴6可以从屏幕组件2的两个侧边支撑屏幕组件2。进一步参见图4B,在一些实施例中,当屏幕组件2卷曲时,屏幕组件2可以卷绕在支撑轴6上,收纳装置7可以对卷绕了屏幕组件2的支撑轴6进行收纳。
在一些实施例中,柔性显示设备200在需要使用时可以自动将屏幕组件2展开, 不需要使用时可以自动将屏幕组件2卷曲收起,为实现柔性显示设备200的自动化动作,柔性显示设备200还可以包括一个或多个驱动装置,以带动支撑轴6旋转,以实现自动地展开或自动地卷曲收起。
在一些实施例中,驱动装置可以包括第一驱动装置,所述第一驱动装置可以设置于收纳装置7内部(图中未示出)。在一些实施例中,第一驱动装置可以驱动支撑轴6进行第一旋转,以将所述屏幕组件2进行卷曲收纳,即将屏幕组件2卷绕在支撑轴6的表面。在一些实施例中,所述第一旋转可以是绕支撑轴6的中心轴的旋转。在一些实施例中,所述第一旋转可以是顺时针方向的旋转,也可以是逆时针方向的旋转。在一些实施例中,第一驱动装置可以包括但不限于弹簧驱动机构、马达驱动机构、棘轮驱动机构、齿轮驱动机构等。具体的,在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2可以通过手动的方式进行展开,例如,柔性显示设备的操作者可以从屏幕组件2的一端开始拉拽,将屏幕组件2从支撑轴6上展开。当柔性显示设备的屏幕组件2需要卷曲时,第一驱动装置可以驱动支撑轴6进行第一旋转,将展开的屏幕组件2重新卷绕在支撑轴6上。例如,第一驱动装置可以是固定在支撑轴6上的弹簧驱动机构,屏幕组件2在展开的过程中可以带动支撑轴6旋转并使弹簧驱动机构积蓄弹性势能,当展开屏幕组件2的拉拽力消失后,弹簧驱动机构可以释放弹性势能从而驱动支撑轴6旋转。又例如,第一驱动装可以是单向旋转的电机驱动机构,当屏幕组件2被手动展开后,可以通过单向旋转的电机驱动机构驱动支撑轴6进行第一旋转,将屏幕组件2卷绕在支撑轴6上。

在一些实施例中,当屏幕组件2展开时,进一步参见图6,支撑件210可以从屏幕组件2背面的多个位置对屏幕组件2进行支撑,从而改变柔性显示设备在第一方向 1001和第二方向1002的刚度。
在一些实施例中,当屏幕组件2卷曲时,进一步参见图7,由于支撑件210间隔分布于屏幕组件2的背面,各支撑件210之间的间隙使得支撑件210可以随屏幕组件2一同卷绕进行收纳。在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2卷绕后,屏幕组件2还可以被支撑件210隔开,减少屏幕组件2在卷绕时可能产生的摩擦。
在一些实施例中,支撑件210沿第一方向的尺寸以及与该支撑件相邻的间隙沿第一方向1001的长度的比值可以为1:10~1:1中的任一数值;在一些实施例中,所述比值可以是1:8~1:1中任一数值;在一些实施例中,所述比值可以是1:6~1:2中任一数值;在一些实施例中,所述比值可以是1:5~1:4中任一数值。在一些实施例中,所述比值从靠近支撑轴6的区域以1:1的数值向远离支撑轴6的区域逐渐地变化至1:10。其中,当柔性显示设备为单轴卷曲形式时,所述远离支撑轴的区域可以是屏幕组件上远离支撑轴的那个侧端;当柔性显示设备为双轴卷曲形式时,所述远离支撑轴的区域也可以是屏幕组件沿第一方向的中间区域。在一些实施例中,所述比值从靠近支撑轴6的区域以1:1的数值向屏幕组件2的中间区域逐渐地变化至1:10,然后再从1:10继续向远离支撑轴6的区域逐渐地变化至1:1。在一些实施例中,所述比值从靠近支撑轴6的区域以1:1的数值向屏幕组件2的中间区域逐渐地变化至1:5,然后再从1:5继续向远离支撑轴6的区域逐渐地变化至1:10。
在一些实施例中,支撑件210可以沿所述第一方向1001相对屏幕组件2的不同位置进行分布,以使柔性显示设备沿第一方向1001的刚度不同。在一些实施例中,参见图9~12,屏幕组件2可以包括沿第一方向1001分布的第一区域810和第二区域820。在一些实施例中,第一区域810沿所述第一方向1001的刚度需求大于所述第二区域820沿所述第一方向1001的刚度需求。
在一些实施例中,屏幕组件2在进行卷曲收纳的过程中,越靠近柔性显示设备200的支撑轴6的区域,卷曲半径越小,卷曲幅度越大,越容易反弹。因此,在靠近支撑轴6的区域柔性显示设备的刚度较小,远离支撑轴6的区域柔性显示设备的刚度较大,即第一区域810可以是沿第一方向远离支撑轴6的区域,第二区域820可以是靠近支撑轴6的区域。
在一些实施例中,若柔性显示设备200为单轴卷曲形式,参见图9~11,则第一区域810可以位于远离支撑轴6的一侧,第二区域820可以位于靠近支撑轴6的一侧。对应地,在一些实施例中,第一区域810沿第一方向1001的宽度与屏幕组件2沿第一 方向1001的宽度的比值可以是0.2~0.8;优选的,可以是0.3~0.7;进一步优选的,可以是0.4~0.6。在一些实施例中,第二区域820沿第一方向1001的宽度与屏幕组件2沿第一方向1001的宽度的比值可以是0.2~0.8;优选的,可以是0.3~0.7;进一步优选的,可以是0.4~0.6。在一些实施例中,若柔性显示设备200为双轴卷曲形式,则第一区域810可以位于屏幕组件2的中间区域,第二区域820可以位于屏幕组件2的两侧区域。在一些实施例中,第一区域810沿第一方向1001的宽度与屏幕组件2沿第一方向1001的宽度的比值可以是0.2~0.6;优选的,可以是0.2~0.4;进一步优选的,可以是0.3~0.4。在一些实施例中,第二区域820沿第一方向1001的宽度可以是0.2~0.4;优选的,可以是0.3~0.4;进一步优选的,可以是0.3~0.35。
在一些实施例中,支撑件210对应于第一区域810的密度分布可以是第一密度分布,对应于第二区域820的密度分布可以是第二密度分布。其中,所述第一密度分布大于所述第二密度分布。
在一些实施例中,所述第一密度分布可以是均匀分布。在一些实施例中,所述第一密度分布也可以是渐变分布。在一些实施例中,所述第二密度分布可以是均匀分布。在一些实施例中,所述第二密度分布也可以是渐变分布。
其中,所述第一密度分布和第二分配密度可以通过支撑件沿第一方向的尺寸以及与该支撑件相邻的间隙沿第一方向的尺寸的比值来反映。为了方便描述,第一区域内,支撑件210沿第一方向的尺寸与其相邻的间隙沿第一方向的尺寸比值称为第一比值;第二区域内,支撑件210沿第一方向的尺寸与其相邻的间隙沿第一方向的尺寸比值称为第二比值。
以下将以柔性显示设备200为单轴卷曲形式对支撑件210对应不同区域的密度分布情况进行说明。

在一些实施例中,第二部分222还可以与第一部分221形成不同的色差、纹理,第一部分和第二部分仍然可以被人眼、显微镜等检测设备观察到,第二部分222的宽度和厚度等参数也可以明确的检测出。在一些实施例中,以第二部分222和第一部分221存在纹理差异为例,可以通过在支撑膜不同区域掺杂对应材料形成第一部分和第二部分,并对应位置上方进行纹理处理,以作区分。在一些实施例中,以第二部分222是凸条状为例,从俯视或仰视屏幕组件2的方向上,凸条的形状可以包括矩形或腰形或梯形。在一些实施例中,第二部分222的形状是矩形。在一些实施例中,矩形的宽度尺寸为10mm-300mm;优选的,尺寸为10mm-200mm;优选的,尺寸为10mm-150mm;优选的,尺寸为10mm-100mm;优选的,尺寸为10mm-50mm;进一步优选的,尺寸为10-20mm。在一些实施例中,矩形的长度与屏幕组件2边缘沿第二方向1002的尺寸比例可以是0.8~1.1;优选的,可以是0.97;进一步优选的,可以是0.98。在一些实施例中,腰形的直径可以是10mm-300mm;优选的,尺寸为10mm-200mm;优选的,尺寸为10mm-150mm; 优选的,尺寸为10mm-100mm;优选的,尺寸为10mm-50mm;进一步优选的,尺寸为10-20mm。腰形的直边长度与屏幕组件2边缘沿第二方向1002的尺寸比例可以是0.8~1.1;优选的,可以是0.97;进一步优选的,可以是0.98。应当注意的是,凸条状第二部分的形状也可以参考本说明书中支撑件210的形状设置。

在一些实施例中,当支撑结构20包括若干支撑件或若干第二部分时,则屏幕组件2卷曲后,支撑轴6的倒角区域可以与支撑件或第二部分的间隔空隙对应。对应的,在展开状态下,支撑件或第二部分的间隔空隙大于对应位置的倒角的弧长。
