具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本公开一些实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开所提供的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非上下文另有要求,否则,在整个说明书和权利要求书中,术语“包括(comprise)”及其其他形式例如第三人称单数形式“包括(comprises)”和现在分词形式“包括(comprising)”被解释为开放、包含的意思,即为“包含,但不限于”。在说明书的描述中,术语“一个实施例(one embodiment)”、“一些实施例(some embodiments)”、“示例性实施例(exemplary embodiments)”、“示例(example)”、“特定示例(specific example)” 或“一些示例(some examples)”等旨在表明与该实施例或示例相关的特定特征、结构、材料或特性包括在本公开的至少一个实施例或示例中。上述术语的示意性表示不一定是指同一实施例或示例。此外,所述的特定特征、结构、材料或特点可以以任何适当方式包括在任何一个或多个实施例或示例中。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本公开实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
在描述一些实施例时,可能使用了“耦接”和“连接”及其衍伸的表达。例如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“连接”以表明两个或两个以上部件彼此间有直接物理接触或电接触。又如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“耦接”以表明两个或两个以上部件有直接物理接触或电接触。然而,术语“耦接”或“通信耦合(communicatively coupled)”也可能指两个或两个以上部件彼此间并无直接接触,但仍彼此协作或相互作用。这里所公开的实施例并不必然限制于本文内容。
“A和/或B”,包括以下三种组合:仅A,仅B,及A和B的组合。
本文中“适用于”或“被配置为”的使用意味着开放和包容性的语言,其不排除适用于或被配置为执行额外任务或步骤的设备。
另外,“基于”的使用意味着开放和包容性,因为“基于”一个或多个所述条件或值的过程、步骤、计算或其他动作在实践中可以基于额外条件或超出所述的值。
如本文所使用的那样,“约”或“近似”包括所阐述的值以及处于特定值的可接受偏差范围内的平均值,其中所述可接受偏差范围如由本领域普通技术人员考虑到正在讨论的测量以及与特定量的测量相关的误差(即,测量系统的局限性)所确定。
本文参照作为理想化示例性附图的剖视图和/或平面图描述了示例性实施方式。在附图中,为了清楚,放大了层和区域的厚度。因此,可设想到由于例如制造技术和/或公差引起的相对于附图的形状的变动。因此,示例性实施方式不应解释为局限于本文示出的区域的形状,而是包括因例如制造而引起的形状偏差。例如,示为矩形的蚀刻区域通常将具有弯曲的特征。因此,附图中所示的区域本质上是示意性的,且它们的形状并非旨在示出设备的区域的实际形状,并且并非旨在限制示例性实施方式的范围。
本公开的一些实施例提供了一种柔性电路板100。如图1所示,该柔性电 路板100包括绝缘基材1,绝缘基材1包括主体部分11和与主体部分11的边缘相连的至少一个第一延伸部分12。第一延伸部分12包括依次远离主体部分11的过孔区域121、弯折区域122和绑定区域123。过孔区域121设置有多个过孔2,所述多个过孔2包括至少一个第一过孔21和至少一个第二过孔22,其中,第一过孔21在平行于过孔区域121的参考面S上的正投影中心落在与弯折区域122的弯曲轴线L平行的第一直线W上,第二过孔22在参考面S上的正投影中心不落在第一直线W上。
其中,第一直线W为虚拟设定的参考直线,例如,在与弯折区域122的弯曲轴线L平行且与任一过孔在参考面S上的正投影中心重叠的所有直线中,任意一条直线都可以作为第一直线W。此时,正投影中心落在第一直线W上的过孔2即为第一过孔21,第一过孔21的数量可以是一个或多个;而正投影中心未落在第一直线W上的过孔2即为第二过孔22,第二过孔22的数量也可以是一个或多个。
由于该过孔区域121上的多个过孔2中,既包括正投影中心落在第一直线W上的第一过孔21,又包括正投影中心不落在该第一直线W上的第二过孔22,使得在该过孔区域121受到弯折区域122产生的拉力而发生错动时,该过孔区域121不容易发生断裂,从而有利于提高整个柔性电路板100的弯折性能。
其中,参见图1,柔性电路板100的主体部分11可以用于放置芯片15和其他电子元器件,示例性的,主体部分11上放置的芯片15可以是触摸控制芯片,或者主体部分11上放置的芯片15还可以是驱动控制芯片。
需要说明的是,柔性电路板100的第一延伸部分12中的绑定区域123可以设置引脚,这样,通过绑定区域123与显示面板绑定,柔性电路板中的芯片15(例如位于主体部分11的触摸控制芯片或驱动控制芯片)可以通过位于绑定区域123的引脚与显示面板中的电路相连接,从而可以通过柔性电路板100中的芯片15对显示面板中的电路(例如像素驱动电路,或触控电路)进行控制,实现显示装置的显示功能和/或触控功能。
由于第一过孔21在参考面S上的正投影的中心位于第一直线W上,而第二过孔22在参考面S上的正投影的中心不位于第一直线W上,因此,任意一个第一过孔21在参考面S上的正投影的中心与任意一个第二过孔22在参考面S上的正投影的中心所在的直线与第一直线W之间可以存在0°~90°的夹角。
示例性的,如图2所示,第一过孔21在参考面S上的正投影中心和第二 过孔22在参考面S上的正投影中心所在的直线为第二直线V,第二直线V与第一直线W之间的夹角为α,其中,15°<α≤90°。
这样设置,相较于α≤15°而言,第一过孔21在参考面S上的正投影的中心与第二过孔22在参考面S上的正投影的中心在垂直于第一直线W的方向上的距离较远,从而使得过孔区域在发生错动时更不容易断裂,进一步改善了柔性电路板的弯折性能。
值得指出的是,在该示例中,不需要对第一过孔21与第二过孔22之间的间距进行限定,也即,只要保证第一过孔21与第二过孔22不连通即可。因此,第一过孔21与第二过孔22在平行于第一直线W的方向上的距离可以设置的更窄,从而有助于在过孔区域121设置更多数量的过孔2。
又示例性的,如图3所示,第一过孔21在参考面S上的正投影中心和第二过孔22在参考面S上的正投影中心所在的直线为第二直线V,第二直线V与第一直线W之间的夹角为α,其中,0°<α≤15°,并且第一过孔21和第二过孔22在平行于第一直线W的方向上的间距d1大于或等于1mm。
这样设置,使得第一直线W和第二直线V之间的夹角较小(例如0°<α≤15°),有助于减小过孔区域沿垂直于第一直线W方向上的宽度。而且由于第一过孔21和第二过孔22在平行于第一直线W的方向上的间距d1大于或等于1mm,还使得在第一直线W和第二直线V之间的夹角较小时,第一过孔21和第二过孔22在平行于所述第一直线W的方向上的间距较大,从而使得过孔区域在受到弯折区域产生的拉力而发生错动时不容易断裂。
其中,第一过孔21与第二过孔22在平行于第一直线W的方向上的间距d1可以为1mm~2mm。例如,在该间距d1等于或趋近于1mm时,有助于在平行于过孔区域内设置更多数量的过孔2。又例如,在该间距等于或趋近于2mm时,有助于提高过孔区域的抗断裂效果。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,相邻的两个第一过孔21之间的间距d2大于或等于2mm。通过这样设置,使得相邻的两个第一过孔21之间的间距d2较大,也即相邻的两个过孔2之间连接部分的面积较大,这样,即使相邻两个第一过孔21在参考面S上的正投影中心均落在同一直线上,在过孔区域受到弯折区域产生的拉力时,相邻的两个过孔2之间的连接部分也不容易被拉断,从而使得柔性电路板的过孔区域不容易出现断裂,进而不容易因过孔区域断裂而损坏柔性电路板上的电路,有助于提高柔性电路板的使用寿命。
其中,需要说明的是,任意一个第一过孔21在参考面S上的正投影的中心和任意一个第二过孔22在参考面S上的正投影的中心,这两者可以落在一 条第二直线V上。例如,如图4所示,第一过孔21a在参考面S上的正投影的中心可以与第二过孔22a在参考面S上的正投影的中心落在一条第二直线V1上,或者第一过孔21a在参考面上的正投影的中心可以与第二过孔22b在参考面S上的正投影的中心共同落在一条第二直线V2上,或者,第二过孔22a在参考面上的正投影的中心可以与第一过孔21b在参考面S上的正投影的中心落在一条第二直线V3上。
在一些实施例中,如图5A~图5C所示,多个过孔2中任意两个过孔2在参考面S上的正投影中心不落在与弯折区域的弯曲轴线平行的同一直线上。即,当有一个过孔2在参考面S上的正投影的中心落在与弯折区域的弯曲轴线平行的第一直线W上时,其余过孔2在参考面S上的正投影均不会落在该第一直线W上。例如,多个过孔2中只有一个第一过孔21,该第一过孔21可以是多个过孔2中的任意一个过孔2,而其余过孔2均为第二过孔22。这样,过孔区域受到与弯折区域产生的拉力时,由于在垂直于第一直线的方向上每隔一段距离仅出现一个过孔,使得弯折区域不容易断裂,从而进一步提高柔性电路板的弯曲性能。
需要说明的是,图5A~图5C仅示意出了本公开中“多个过孔2中任意两个过孔2在参考面S上的正投影中心不落在与弯折区域的弯曲轴线平行的同一直线上”的三种可能的情况,本公开并不仅限于图5A~5C中所示的方案。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,所述多个过孔2沿平行于所述第一直线W的方向(例如图6中由左至右的方向)依次分为至少两部分过孔,且相邻的两部分过孔中,一部分过孔(例如,在图6中,从左往右数前四个过孔)沿平行于所述第一直线的方向逐渐远离所述弯折区域,另一部分过孔(例如,在图6中,从左往右数第五至第七个过孔)沿平行于所述第一直线的方向逐渐靠近所述弯折区域。
在一些实施例中,如图1和图7所示,柔性电路板100还包括设置在绝缘基材1第一侧表面上的第一导电层3,第一导电层3包括多个第一引脚31和多条第一导电线32,多个第一引脚31位于绑定区域123,多条第一导电线32的第一端与多个第一引脚31中的至少部分第一引脚31一一对应连接。设置在绝缘基材1第二侧表面上的第二导电层4,第二导电层4包括多条第二导电线41,多条第二导电线41的第一端通过多个过孔2与多条第一导电线32的第二端一一对应连接。
其中,多条第二导电线41的第二端可以直接或间接地连接至上述芯片15(例如触摸控制芯片或驱动控制芯片)。例如,如图8所示,第一导电层3 还可以包括连接至位于主体部分11的芯片15的第三导电线33,此时第二导电线41的第二端可以通过位于主体部分11的过孔与第三导电线33相连接。又例如,第二导电线41的第二端也可以直接通过位于主体部分11安装芯片15处的过孔连接至芯片15。
上述柔性电路板100中第一延伸部分12的数量可以是一个,也可以是多个。
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,第一延伸部分12的数量可以为两个。此时,多个第一引脚31中的一部分第一引脚31位于一个第一延伸部分12的绑定区域123,多个第一引脚31中的另一部分位于另一个第一延伸部分12的绑定区域123。多条第一导电线32中的一部分第一导电线32的第一端与一部分第一引脚31中的至少部分第一引脚31一一对应连接,多条第一导电线32中的另一部分第一导电线32的第一端与另一部分第一引脚31中的至少部分第一引脚31一一对应连接。多条第二导电线41中的一部分第二导电线41的第一端通过一个第一延伸部分12上的多个过孔2与一部分第一导电线32的第二端一一对应连接,多条第二导电线41中的另一部分第二导电线41的第一端通过另一个第一延伸部分12上的多个过孔2与另一部分第一导电线32的第二端一一对应连接。
在此基础上,示例性的,如图8所示,第一导电层3还包括多条第四导电线34和多条第五导电线35。其中,多条第四导电线34可以连接在芯片15与第一导电线32之间。
多条第五导电线35的第一端可以通过位于主体部分11的过孔与上述多条第二导电线41中的一部分第二导电线41的第二端连接,并且多条第五导电线35的第二端可以通过位于主体部分11的过孔与上述多条第二导电线41中的另一部分第二导电线41的第二端连接。
这样设置,可以使芯片15的输出端同时连接到两个第一延伸部12上的第一引脚31。
在一些实施例中,参见图8,两个第一延伸部分12均与主体部分11的第一侧边缘相连。这样,柔性电路板100包括两个第一延伸部分12,柔性电路板100上的电路可以通过两个第一延伸部分12与显示面板上的电路电连接。示例性的,主体部分11上设置有触摸控制芯片(例如芯片15),当柔性电路板100包括两个第一延伸部分12时,触摸控制芯片的输出端可以通过两个第一延伸部分12上的多个第一引脚31同时连接至显示面板中的触控电极,也即,这样可以使触摸控制芯片可以通过两部分导电线同时连接触控电极,从 而有助于减小触摸控制芯片与触控电极之间的电阻,提高显示装置中触摸控制电路的控制精度。
在一些实施例中,如图1和图8所示,柔性电路板100还包括第二延伸部分13和插接结构14,其中第二延伸部分13与主体部分11的第二侧边缘相连,第一侧边缘和第二侧边缘位于主体部分11的相对两侧。插接结构14设置于第二延伸部分13远离主体部分11的一端。其中,插接结构14插接在例如显示装置的主控电路板。
在一些实施例中,如图7所示,柔性电路板100还包括第一绝缘层5、第二绝缘层6,第一屏蔽层7和第二屏蔽层8。其中,第一绝缘层5位于第一导电层3远离绝缘基材1的一侧。第二绝缘层6位于第二导电层4远离绝缘基材1的一侧。第一屏蔽层7位于第一绝缘层5远离绝缘基材1的一侧,第一屏蔽层7覆盖主体部分11和过孔区域121。第二屏蔽层8位于第二绝缘层6远离绝缘基材1的一侧,第二屏蔽层8覆盖主体部分11和过孔区域121。其中,第一屏蔽层7和第二屏蔽层8可以屏蔽电磁波,从而可以防止柔性电路板上导电线传输的电信号受到影响。
在一些实施例中,如图7和图9所示,柔性电路板100还包括保护层9,保护层9设置在第二屏蔽层8远离绝缘基材1的一侧,且保护层9覆盖过孔区域121。保护层9用于保护过孔区域121,防止过孔区域121受到拉力时发生断裂。
本公开的一些实施例还提供了一种显示装置300,如图10所示,该显示装置300包括本公开上述任一实施例所述的柔性电路板100和显示面板200,柔性电路板100的绑定区域123绑定在显示面板200上。
其中,显示装置300可以是可折叠式显示装置,可折叠式显示装置的弯折轴与柔性电路板100中弯折区域的弯曲轴线大致平行。此处,“大致平行”,是指两者互相平行,或者,是指两者近似平行(例如两者在上述参考面内的正投影的夹角小于或等于10度)。
需要说明的是,当可折叠式显示装置沿其弯折轴进行弯折时,显示面板同样受力弯曲,从而会带动与其绑定的柔性电路板发生错动。当柔性电路板发生错动时,过孔区域会受到弯折区域对其产生的拉力的作用,此时,如果过孔区域设置的多个过孔在参考面上的正投影中心均落在于弯折区域的弯折轴线平行的同一直线上,容易导致过孔区域容易发生断裂,使得柔性电路板损坏,进而造成显示装置无法实现触控和/或显示的功能。
而本公开一些实施例的柔性电路板100中,过孔区域121上的多个过孔2 中既包括正投影中心落在第一直线W上的第一过孔21,又包括正投影中心不落在该第一直线W上的第二过孔22,使得在该过孔区域121受到弯折区域122产生的拉力而发生错动时,该过孔区域121不容易发生断裂,整个柔性电路板100的弯折性能较强。因此,本公开上述实施例中所提供的采用该柔性电路板的折叠显示装置的可靠性较高,使用寿命更长。
在一些实施例中,如图10所示,显示装置300还包括支撑部301,支撑部301设置在柔性电路板100的主体部分靠近显示面板200之间。此时,支撑部301可以实现支撑柔性电路板100的主体部分11,从而使得主体部分11即使安装有芯片15或其它电子器件也不容易产生晃动,有助于提高柔性电路板的使用寿命。
其中,上述显示装置300例如可以是电视、数码相机、手机、手表、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的部件。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
