技术领域
本公开涉及显示技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种柔性显示装置及电子设备。
背景技术
目前,从市场趋势来看,柔性显示产品成为手机、平板电脑等电子设备青睐的对象,柔性显示产品可根据电子设备匹配不同的外形模型设计,提供不同的曲面显示需求。
但柔性显示产品在弯曲后,一定存在应力问题;尤其是在拐角位置处,应力问题较严重,容易产生裂纹等不良现象,从而容易导致产品封装失效,显示区中容易出现黑色斑点等不良,影响产品品质,产品信赖性较低;同时产品在使用过程中拐角位置处最容易受到外力按压,产生不良的风险很大。

具体实施方式
为使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,下文中将结合附图对本公开的实施例进行详细说明。注意,实施方式可以以多个不同形式来实施。所属技术领域的普通技术人员可以很容易地理解一个事实,就是方式和内容可以在不脱离本公开的宗旨及其范围的条件下被变换为各种各样的形式。因此,本公开不应该被解释为仅限定在下面的实施方式所记载的内容中。在不冲突的情况下,本公开中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
在附图中,有时为了明确起见,夸大表示了各构成要素的大小、层的厚度或区域。因此,本公开的一个方式并不一定限定于该尺寸,附图中各部件的形状和大小不反映真实比例。此外,附图示意性地示出了理想的例子,本公开的一个方式不局限于附图所示的形状或数值等。
本说明书中的“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等序数词是为了避免构成要素的混同而设置,而不是为了在数量方面上进行限定的。
在本说明书中,为了方便起见,使用“中间区域”、“两侧区域”“上”、“内”、“外”等指示方位或位置关系的词句以参照附图说明构成要素的位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本说明书和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本公开的限制。构成要素的位置关系根据描述各构成要素的方向适当地改变。因此,不局限于在说明书中说明的词句,根据情况可以适当地更换。

在本公开中,除非另有说明,所采用的术语“同层设置”指的是两个层、部件、构件、元件或部分可以通过同一构图工艺形成,并且,这两个层、部件、构件、元件或部分一般由相同的材料形成。
在本公开中,除非另有说明,表述“构图工艺”一般包括光刻胶的涂布、曝光、显影、刻蚀、光刻胶的剥离等步骤。表述“一次构图工艺”意指使用一块掩模板形成图案化的层、部件、构件等的工艺。
本公开一实施例提供一种柔性显示装置,如图1所示,柔性显示装置1具有显示区10和环绕显示区10设置的外围区20,此外围区20包括在第一方向Y上延伸的第一侧边区20a、在第二方向X上延伸的第二侧边区20b、以及位于第一侧边区20a和第二侧边区20b之间的弧形拐角区20c。
如图1所示,本公开实施例中的柔性显示装置1在参考平面上的正投影形状可类似为矩形,也就是说,柔性显示装置1可包括两个在第二方向X上相对的第一侧边区20a、两个在第一方向Y上相对的第二侧边区20b及四个弧形拐角区20c。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例的第一方向Y可与第二方向X相交,可选地,第一方向Y与第二方向X正交。此外,本公开实施例中提到的参考平面为与第一方向Y和第二方向X相平行的平面。
如图1所示,第一侧边区20a和第二侧边区20b可为矩形;但不限于此,也可为其他形状;且如图2所示,弧形拐角区20c具有依次首尾相连的第一边201、内弧边202、第二边203及外弧边204,第一边201与第一侧边区20a相接,第二边203与第二侧边区20b相接。
需要说明的是,由于本公开实施例的第一侧边区20a和第二侧边区20b可为矩形,因此,与第一侧边区20a相接的第一边201和与第二侧边区20b相接的第二边203可为直边,但不限于此,第一边201和第二边203可根据第一侧边区20a和第二侧边区20b的形状而定。
在本公开的实施例中,柔性显示装置1的边缘能够进行弯曲,形成如图3所示的弯曲区域C,此弯曲区域C可包括如图1所示的第一侧边区20a和弧形拐角区20c,以及还可包括显示区10中靠近第一侧边区20a和弧形拐角区20c的部分,以实现曲面显示。详细说明,柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a可向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲,应当理解的是,在第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,弧形拐角区20c、显示区10也随着第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲。
其中,由于本公开实施例的柔性显示装置1中拐角区呈弧形,因此,在柔性显示装置1进行弯曲时,该弧形拐角区20c受到的应力会远远大于第一侧边区20a受到的应力,这样使得弧形拐角区20c容易发生裂纹,从而影响产品性能以及影响产品信赖性。此外,该弧形拐角区20c还容易在外力按压下产生裂纹。
如图2所示,本公开实施例的弧形拐角区20c可包括具有第一边201的第一拐角区A和具有第二边203的第二拐角区B,也就是说,第一拐角区A靠近第一侧边区20a,第二拐角区B靠近第二侧边区20b;其中,如图2所示,第一拐角区A和第二拐角区B可共用一直边,且第一拐角区A可包括内弧边202的部分和外弧边204的部分,第二拐角区B可包括内弧边202的另一部分和外弧边204的另一部分。
需要说明的是,弧形拐角区20c的中心位置位于第一拐角区A。此外,应当理解的是,由于第一拐角区A相比于第二拐角区B更靠近第一侧边区20a,因此,如图3所示,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第一拐角区A的弯曲角度α1大于第二拐角区B的弯曲角度α2;此弯曲角度可为第一拐角区A、第二拐角区B的弯曲末端的切线与参考平面之间的夹角,需要说明的是,图3中的虚线Q位于此参考平面内。
其中,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,经实验分析可知,第一拐角区A整体相比于第二拐角区B整体受到的应力较大,也就是说,第一拐角区A相比于第二拐角区B更容易发生裂纹。
基于上述内容,为改善弧形拐角区20c处发生裂纹的情况,本公开实施例对柔性显示装置1中位于弧形拐角区20c处的结构进行了改进,具体如下:
如图4所示,本公开实施例的柔性显示装置1可包括依次层叠的显示基板1a、偏光片1b及第一光学胶层1c,此显示基板1a、偏光片1b及第一光学胶层1c位于显示区10和外围区20。需要说明的是,此显示基板1a可为OLED(OrganicLight-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)显示,但不限于此。
如图4所示,柔性显示装置1还可包括盖板1d,此盖板1d位于第一光学胶层1c远离偏光片1b的一侧。具体地,盖板1d可通过第一光学胶层1c与偏光片1b进行粘接。需要说明的是,显示基板1a、偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓需位于盖板1d在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓内;应当理解的是,显示基板1a、偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c在来料、切割等均存在公差,但显示基板1a、偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c外形的轻微裱花并不影响柔性显示装置1的外形,因为柔性显示装置1的外形主要体现在盖板1d上。
此外,还需要说明的是,偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c在参考平面上的正投影的外 轮廓也可与盖板1d在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓重合,视具体情况而定。
由于柔性显示装置1在未弯曲之前为平板结构;因此,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,柔性显示装置1主要受张应力影响,如图5所示,显示基板1a、偏光片1b及第一光学胶层1c表面均承受张应力F;其中,本公开实施例的偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c的材料为有机绝缘材料,由于偏光片1b、第一光学胶层1c的材料为有机绝缘材料,因此,偏光片1b、第一光学胶层1c具有良好的柔性,在弯曲过程中不容易发生断裂;而显示基板1a通常由多种材料形成,例如:无机绝缘材料、有机绝缘材料和金属材料等,由于无机绝缘材料具有硬、脆的特点,因此,在上述弯曲过程中,显示基板1a中的无机绝缘层在承受张应力后容易断裂,尤其是在弧形拐角区20c处的无机绝缘层,裂缝产生后随着应力释放,可向其他膜层和显示区延伸,形成裂纹E。
其中,前述提到在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第一拐角区A受到的应力较大,因此,为了避免第一拐角区A在弯曲时出现裂纹,在设计第一拐角区A时,如图6所示,可使偏光片1b和/或第一光学胶层1c超出显示基板1a,即:在第一拐角区A中,偏光片1b和/或第一光学胶层1c在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓位于显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓的外侧;这样设计在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第一拐角区A处偏光片1b和/或第一光学胶层1c首先承受产品表面张应力,从而起到保护显示基板1a的目的,以缓解位于第一拐角区A的显示基板1a在弯曲时容易出现裂纹的情况,从而缓解整个弧形拐角区20c在弯曲时容易出现裂纹的情况,提高产品良率及信赖性。
可选地,在第一拐角区A,偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓均可位于显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓的外侧;以进一步起到保护显示基板1a的目的,缓解第一拐角区A在弯曲时容易出现裂纹的情况。进一步地,偏光片1b在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓可与第一光学胶层1c在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓重合,以降低设计难度。
应当理解的是,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,不仅第一拐角区A整体受到的应力与第二拐角区B整体受到的应力不同,而且第一拐角区A中不同区域所受到的应力大小也不尽相同。
在本公开的一实施例中,如图6所示,第一拐角区A可包括第一子区A1和位于第一子区A1靠近第一侧边区20a的第二子区A2,其中,弧形拐角区20c的中心位置位于第一子区A1;经实验分析可知,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装 置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第二子区A2受到的应力大于第一子区A1受到的应力,因此,为了实现节省偏光片1b所占空间,以为其他设计预留出更多设计空间的目的,可使偏光片1b在应力较大的位置超出显示基板1a边缘的距离较大,在应力较小的位置超出显示基板1a边缘的距离较小;即:在第一子区A1中,偏光片1b在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓与显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓之间具有第一距离;在第二子区A2中,偏光片1b在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓与显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓之间具有第二距离;其中,第二距离大于第一距离。
其中,如图6所示,第一拐角区A还可包括第三子区A3和第四子区A4;第三子区A3位于第一子区A1靠近第二拐角区B的一侧,第四子区A4位于第二子区A2靠近第一侧边区20a的一侧,经实验分析可知,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第三子区A3受到的应力小于第一子区A1受到的应力,第四子区A4受到的应力小于第二子区A2受到的应力;为了进一步实现节省偏光片1b所占空间,以为其他设计预留出更多设计空间的目的;在本公开的实施例中,在第三子区A3中,偏光片1b在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓与显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓之间具有第三距离;在第四子区A4中,偏光片1b在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓与显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓之间具有第四距离;其中,第三距离小于第一距离,第四距离小于第二距离。
基于上述可知,偏光片1b超出显示基板1a边缘的距离可根据应力变化趋势而变化,这样使得偏光片1b在第一拐角区A对显示基板1a进行保护的同时,还可实现节省偏光片1b所占空间,以为其他设计预留出更多设计空间的目的。
需要说明的是,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,在不受外界力的干扰下;第三子区A3中应力最大的位置为与第一子区A1相接的位置,第一子区A1中应力最大的位置为与第二子区A2相接的位置,且第一子区A1中应力最大的位置为位于弧形拐角区20c的显示基板1a的中心位置,第二子区A2中应力最大的位置为与第四子区A4相接的位置,第四子区A4中应力最大的位置为与第二子区A2中应力最小的位置相接的位置;而第一距离、第二距离、第三距离及第四距离则指的是各子区中应力最大的位置处偏光片1b超出显示基板1a边缘的距离。此外,从一子区应力最大的位置到相邻另一子区应力最大的位置,偏光片1b超出显示基板1a边缘的距离逐渐增大或减小,例如:从第一子区A1应力最大的位置至第二子区A2应力最大的位置,偏光片1b超出显示基板1a边缘的距离逐渐增大。
其中,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,由于第二拐角区B受到的应力较小,此处不易产生裂纹,因此,为了更进一步 地实现节省偏光片1b所占空间,以为其他设计预留出更多设计空间的目的;在第二拐角区B中,如图6所示,偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓可与显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓的重合。
但不限于此,在第二拐角区B中,偏光片1b和第一光学胶层1c在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓也可超出显示基板1a在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓,视具体情况而定。
需要说明的是,本公开不仅能够通过改变偏光片1b和/或第一光学胶层1c的大小,来改善在弧形拐角区容易出现裂纹的情况,还可通过改善显示基板1a在弧形拐角区的结构来改善容易出现裂纹的情况;具体如下:
在本公开一实施例中,如图7所示,显示基板1a可包括至少位于第一拐角区A的防裂纹基底205、防裂纹挡墙206及多个防裂纹挡块207;防裂纹挡墙206形成在防裂纹基底205上并位于显示区10的外侧;多个防裂纹挡块207形成在防裂纹基底205上并位于防裂纹挡墙206远离显示区10一侧。需要说明的是,如图7所示,防裂纹基底205、防裂纹挡墙206及防裂纹挡块207还可位于第二拐角区B。
本公开实施例中通过设置防裂纹挡块207和防裂纹挡墙206可对裂纹进行阻挡,以避免其向显示区延伸,从而避免显示区出现黑色斑点等问题,提高产品信赖性和良率。此外,多个防裂纹挡块207按照一定要求排列不仅可以实现对裂纹进行阻挡的目的,还可对裂纹进行疏导,以进一步缓解裂纹向其他膜层或显示区延伸。
详细说明,如图7所示,本公开实施例的多个防裂纹挡块207可划分成至少两排防裂纹挡块组,每排防裂纹挡块组包括多个按照显示基板1a中位于弧形拐角区20c的部分在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓进行排布的防裂纹挡块207;其中,每排防裂纹挡块组中相邻防裂纹挡块207的中间区域相接触,且其两侧区域之间具有缝隙;也就是说,每排防裂纹挡块组中相邻防裂纹挡块207之间为薄弱区,根据裂纹容易在薄弱区开裂的特点,裂纹在防裂纹挡块207边缘存在一定比例的变向,变向后裂纹可沿着防裂纹挡块207的侧壁穿过薄弱区,由于这样设计可改变裂纹的延伸方向,因此,可增加裂纹的延伸路径,起到疏导、疏散、释放应力能量的作用,从而可缓解裂纹向显示区和其他膜层延伸。
其中,如图7所示,在相邻两排防裂纹挡块组中,一排中防裂纹挡块207与另一排中相邻防裂纹挡块207之间的缝隙相对应,这样设计使得裂纹E在穿过一排防裂纹挡块组的薄弱区后,正好遇到下一排防裂纹挡块组的防裂纹挡块207,这样可完全阻挡裂纹E向显示区继续延伸,如图12所示。
此外,如图13所示,部分裂纹应力释放能量较大,可在防裂纹挡块207的侧壁分叉,能量分散,一部分沿原方向穿过一排防裂纹挡块组,分叉后裂纹能量较小,即使穿过一排防裂纹挡块组,则正好遇到下一排防裂纹挡块组的非薄弱区,下一排中的防裂纹挡块 207可完全阻挡裂纹。
需要说明的是,如裂纹为受外力按压导致,穿透能力较强,则可将防裂纹挡块组设置三排或超过三排,这样可进一步对裂纹进行疏散,以完全阻挡裂纹继续延伸。此外,还需说明的是,每排防裂纹挡块组中相邻防裂纹挡块207的中间区域可为点接触,但不限于此,也可为线接触,视具体情况而定。
在一些实施例中,如图7所示,防裂纹挡块207在参考平面中的正投影可包括距离最远的第一点和第二点;在相邻两排防裂纹挡块组中,一排中防裂纹挡块207的第一点和第二点与另一排中相邻防裂纹挡块207之间的相接点可位于同一条直线P上,这样使得裂纹在穿过一排防裂纹挡块组之后,会正好遇到下一排防裂纹挡块组的最强阻挡区(即:防裂纹挡块207中尺寸最大的区域),可更好地阻挡裂纹继续显示区内延伸。
可选地,防裂纹挡块207在参考平面中的正投影形状为四边形;其中,四边形具有第一对角线和第二对角线,第一对角线的两端点分别为前述提到的第一点和第二点,且第一对角线的长度大于第二对角线的长度。此外,显示基板1a中位于弧形拐角区20c的部分在参考平面上的正投影的外轮廓线为圆弧线。
经实验分析可知,由于受到合成应力以及膜层本身镀膜方向的影响,如图8所示,在弯曲时产生的裂纹方向S和与其对应部分的法线N(法线N为与切线M相垂直的线)方向存在一定的夹角,因此,为了使得防裂纹挡块207能够更好地阻挡裂纹,在设计时,可使防裂纹挡块207的第一对角线与裂纹方向S平行,如图14所示,即:使防裂纹挡块207的第一对角线和前述提到的圆弧线中与第一对角线对应的切点的法线之间具有一定的夹角,应当理解的是,此夹角为锐角;进一步地,第一对角线和弧线中与第一对角线对应的切点的法线之间的夹角为5°至30°,比如:5°、10°、15°、20°、25°、30°等等。
举例而言,此四边形可关于第一对角线呈对称设置,这样便于将多个防裂纹挡块207按照外弧边的轮廓进行排布,但不限于此,也可根据实际情况对四边形的形状进行调整。
其中,位于最靠近外弧边204的防裂纹挡块组中的防裂纹挡块207在参考平面中的正投影形状为菱形,以更好地起到疏导、疏散、释放应力能量的作用,从而可缓解裂纹向显示区和其他膜层延伸。需要说明的是,其他防裂纹挡块组中的防裂纹挡块207也可为菱形,但不限于此,也可根据实际需求对防裂纹挡块207的形状进行调整。
在本公开的一些实施例中,如图7所示,多排防裂纹挡块组可位于第一拐角区A;且多排防裂纹挡块组中远离显示区10的部分防裂纹挡块组可延伸至第二拐角区B,也就是说,第二拐角区B处的防裂纹挡块组的排数小于第一拐角区A处的防裂纹挡块组的排数,且第二拐角区B处的防裂纹挡块组靠近外弧边204设置;由于在柔性显示装置1的 第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第一拐角区A受到的应力大于第二拐角区B受到的应力,因此,通过在第一拐角区A处设计较多排防裂纹挡块组可有效防止裂纹向显示区内延伸;而将第二拐角区B处设计较少排防裂纹挡块组,在有效防止裂纹向显示区内延伸的同时,还可节省出更多的空间布置其他走线。
举例而言,位于第一拐角区A中防裂纹挡块组设置有三排;其中,三排防裂纹挡块组中靠近外弧边204的两排防裂纹挡块组延伸至第二拐角区B,也就是说,位于第一拐角区A中防裂纹挡块组可设置有三排,位于第二拐角区B中防裂纹挡块组可设置有两排,且位于第二拐角区B中的两排防裂纹挡块组与位于第一拐角区A中最外两排防裂纹挡块组一一对应排布。
需要说明的是,第一拐角区A和第二拐角区B中防裂纹挡块组的排数不限于上述提到,也可更多,视具体情况而定。
在一些实施例中,如图7所示,防裂纹挡墙206可设置有多圈,相邻两圈防裂纹挡墙206之间具有缝隙;其中,多圈防裂纹挡墙206位于第一拐角区A,且多圈防裂纹挡墙206中远离显示区10的部分防裂纹挡墙206延伸至第二拐角区B、第一侧边区20a和第二侧边区20b,由于在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第一拐角区A受到的应力大于第二拐角区B受到的应力,因此,通过在第一拐角区A处设计较多圈防裂纹挡墙206可有效防止裂纹向显示区内延伸;而将第二拐角区B处设计较少圈防裂纹挡墙206,在有效防止裂纹向显示区内延伸的同时,还可节省出更多的空间布置其他走线。
举例而言,如图7所示,第二拐角区B、第一侧边区20a和第二侧边区20b中防裂纹挡墙206可设置有两圈,第一拐角区A中防裂纹挡墙206可设置六圈;其中,第二拐角区B、第一侧边区20a和第二侧边区20b中的防裂纹挡墙206靠近外弧边204,并与第一拐角区A中与之对应的防裂纹挡墙206一体形成为环状结构,以对显示区10进行更好的保护。
其中,经实验分析可知,在柔性显示装置1的第一侧边区20a向远离柔性显示装置1的显示侧的方向弯曲时,第一子区A1、第二子区A2、第四子区A4受到的应力较大,因此,如图7所示,第一子区A1、第二子区A2、第四子区A4可设计三排防裂纹挡块组,以及设置六圈防裂纹挡墙206;而第三子区A3受到的应力较小,因此,如图所示,第三子区A3可设置两排防裂纹挡块组,以及设置两圈防裂纹挡墙206。
此外,还应当理解的是,显示基板1a中位于外围区20的部分不仅包括防裂纹基底205、防裂纹挡块207和防裂纹挡墙206,还可包括信号走线(图中未示出)等电路结构。
由于无机绝缘层在弯曲时容易产生裂纹,因此,在本公开的一些实施例中,为了防 止裂纹的产生,可使防裂纹基底205、防裂纹挡块207及防裂纹挡墙206均由具有良好柔性的有机材料制作而成,具体地,防裂纹基底205、防裂纹挡块207及防裂纹挡墙206均由至少一层有机膜层构成。其中,为了降低工艺成本,防裂纹基底205、防裂纹挡块207及防裂纹挡墙206中的有机膜层可与显示区中采用有机材料制作的膜层同层设置。
举例而言,如图9所示,在显示区10中,显示基板1a可包括柔性基底101,此柔性基底101包括依次层叠的第一有机基底层101a、无机阻挡层101b、第二有机基底层101c和无机缓冲层101d。其中,第一有机基底层101a、第二有机基底层101c的材料可以包括PI(聚酰亚胺)、PET(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)及PC(聚碳酸酯)中的一种或多种;无机阻挡层101b、无机缓冲层101d的材料可以包括硅氧化物(SiOx)、硅氮化物(SiNx)和氮氧化硅(SiON)中的任意一种或多种。
其中,防裂纹基底205与第一有机基底层101a和第二有机基底层101c中的至少一者一体形成。可选地,如图10所示,防裂纹基底205包括与第一有机基底层101a一体形成的第一层205a和与第二有机基底层101c一体形成的第二层205b。
需要说明的是,在显示区10中,柔性基底101不限于包括上述膜层,也可仅包括一层有机基底层,或设置有更多有机基底层和无机绝缘层。此外,该柔性基底101也可延伸至部分外围区20,但不限于此,视具体情况而定。
在本公开的一实施例中,显示基板1a还可包括位于显示区10的驱动电路层和发光结构层。此驱动电路层设置在无机缓冲层101d上,发光结构层设置在驱动电路层远离无机缓冲层101d的一侧。
