本申请实施例提供一种可折叠显示模组,其中所述可折叠显示模组可以应用于电子设备100。
可折叠显示模组由于其可折叠特性,可以应用于电子设备100,使电子设备100方便携带。
下面以上述电子设备100为例进行说明。
图3A是本申请实施例的一种具有可折叠显示模组的电子设备100展开示意图。应理解,所述具有可折叠显示模组的电子设备100可以被称为可折叠电子设备。
图3B所示分别是该电子设备100正面(b图)和背面(f图)、底面(c图)和顶面(d图)、左面(a图)和右面(e图)六个不同的角度的外观示意图。其中,正面视图(b)中10为电子设备的可折叠显示模组,背面视图(f)中20和30为电子设备100的壳体(例如第一壳体20和第二壳体30),虚线框示出的是电子设备100的弯折区40。应理解,在一些实施例中,电子设备100可以有多个壳体,且每两个相邻壳体之间存在一个弯折区域。在一些实施例中,电子设备100的显示模组可以包括多个弯折区域且弯折区域连续分布(例如,显示模组可以为卷曲屏)。
图3B所示是本申请提供的一种具有可折叠显示模组的电子设备折叠状态的示意图。如图3B中所示,在两个壳体转动到折叠状态时,弯折区40发生形变并且第一壳体20及第二壳体30层叠。此外,第一壳体20及第二壳体30转动连接时,还可以采用常用的转轴等能够实现转动连接的部件进行转动连接。
此外,在本申请中建立如图3B所示坐标系,其中,x、y和z方向两两垂直,z方向可以理解为电子设备的厚度方向,y方向也可以理解为电子设备的弯折区域的轴线方向,x方向与y方向垂直,且平行于柔性屏幕处于展开状态的平面。本申请中所提到的坐标轴都以此坐标系为基准。
应理解,对于任一种可折叠的电子设备,弯折区40还可以横向(沿x方向)分布,显示模组可以沿横向分布的弯折区域进行折叠。
本申请将以图3A和图3B中示出的折叠方式为例,介绍一种折叠屏支撑结构,解决折叠屏折叠过程的弯折拱起问题。应理解,本申请提供的折叠屏支撑结构,同样适用于其他折叠方式的电子设备,本申请对屏幕的折叠方式不作限定。
在一些实施例中,可折叠的电子设备在展开形态下可以朝着左屏和右屏相面对的方向折叠,在一些实施例中,可折叠的电子设备在展开形态下还可以朝着左屏和右屏相背对的方向折叠,本申请的实施例描述中,以图3B示出的显示模组10位于折叠后的外表面为例进行介绍,本申请对折叠的方向不作限定。
但是折叠显示模组经过反复弯折之后会出现明显的弯折拱起问题,影响设备的美观,影 响用户体验,这主要是因为折叠显示模组缺乏足够的支撑。由于可折叠显示模组中的显示面板采用有机高分子材料,而有机高分子材料在弯折时被拉伸,形成塑性形变无法恢复,造成折叠显示模组弯折拱起,影响用户体验。
如图3C和3D所示,具有可折叠显示模组的电子设备100经过反复折叠后,会出现弯折拱起的问题。应理解,图3C和3D的拱起方向、拱起的位置是示意性的,不代表对拱起方向、拱起位置的具体限定。
折叠显示模组的弯折拱起问题已经成为业界难题,严重影响了折叠手机的外观及信赖性。
在进行本申请实施例描述之前,先对一些词语做出说明。
本实施例中所述功能层指代除了粘贴层(例如,图4中的第一粘贴层、第二粘贴层等)以外的组成屏幕模组的层(例如盖板、偏振器、触控层、显示面板、超薄玻璃、背膜、金属支撑结构等)。
本实施例中所述超薄玻璃指的是一种可以应用到复杂结构上的玻璃,具有普通玻璃不可比拟的优点,具有耐高温、耐腐蚀、透光率高、表面平整、硬度高、化学稳定性好、应用面广等优点。在一些实施例中,所述超薄玻璃的厚度可以为0.03mm~0.5mm。在本申请实施例中,同一功能层或者同一粘贴层沿显示模组堆叠方向(例如,上下堆叠)可以分为出光侧表面和背光侧表面。本实施例所述的“出光侧表面”指的是当显示模组为堆叠结构时候,某一个功能层或者粘贴层更接近显示模组外表面(可与用户直接交互的表面,例如图4所示的101表面)的表面。例如,如4所示,盖板2011可以包括出光侧表面2011-2和背光侧表面2011-1。
还应理解,在显示模组为上下堆叠结构时,可以将同一功能层或者同一粘贴层分为出光侧方向和背光侧方向。在本申请实施例,所述出光侧方向指的是上侧,所述背光侧指的是下侧。例如,如图4,第一粘贴层A1可以有出光侧和背光侧,盖板位于第一粘贴层A1的出光侧,附加层2012位于第一粘贴层A1的背光侧。
在一个实施例中,超薄玻璃可以直接放在显示面板两侧。应理解,此处所述的“直接放在柔性显示面板两侧”是指超薄玻璃与柔性显示面板之间只有粘贴层,而无其他功能层。示意性的,如图4所示,超薄玻璃可以直接放在柔性显示面板的上下两侧。还应理解,所述“在显示面板两侧”指的是超薄玻璃在显示面板的上下两侧,超薄玻璃与显示面板呈现堆叠结构。
图4所示的是一个电子设备100在展开状态的显示模组10的截面图。显示模组10可以包括弯折区和第一非弯折区、第二非弯折区。应理解,所述弯折区和非弯折区的位置和数量是示意性的,不代表对显示模组10具体结构的限定。在一些实施例,所述弯折区可以被称为折叠区域,所述第一非弯折区域可以被称为第一区域,所述第二非弯折区域可以被称为第二区域,其中所述第一区域和所述第二区域可以沿所述折叠区域对折或展开。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,所述显示模组也可以被称为显示装置。
电子设备100的显示模组10可以是以下层的多种及其组合而成的堆叠结构。层2011:盖板;
层A1:第一粘贴层
层2012:附加盖板
层A2:第二粘贴层

层2031:超薄玻璃
层A4:第四粘贴层
层205:显示面板
层A6:第六粘贴层
层2032:超薄玻璃;
层A5:第五粘贴层
层207:背膜层
层A7:第六粘贴层
层208:支撑结构
层2011为盖板,在一些实施例中又可以被称为保护层,本申请实施例不对其名称做具体限定。盖板可以保护显示模组10被划伤。盖板的材料可以为塑料材质膜PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)。由于PET膜在长期的弯折过程中容易产生塑性变形,在一些实施例中,盖板的材料也可以为透明聚酰亚胺(CPI,clear Polyimide)。相比于PET膜,CPI膜可以提供更高的应变值,并且可以耐高温。在一些实施例中,盖板也可以为超薄玻璃(UTG,Ultra Thin Glass)。在一些实施例中,盖板还可以加有硬化层HC(Hard Coating)(图中未示出),以获得高光透过率、低雾度、耐摩擦、高温/高湿/高气压可用、不易破碎、且柔韧性好的效果。在一些实施例中,层2011的材料也可以为超薄玻璃。
在一些实施例中,显示模组10还可以包括层2012。层2012可以被称为附加层,用以加强屏幕的抗冲击能力。附加层2012的材料选取可以援引盖板2011所述内容,此处不再赘述。
盖板与附加层通过第一粘贴层A1粘贴(例如光学透明胶、压敏胶、热反应性粘合剂)。
层204为偏振器(例如偏光片)。偏振器可以允许非偏振光通过而阻断偏振光,且偏振器可将穿过偏振器的非偏振光转化成偏振光。由于外界入射进显示模组的自然光为非偏振光,穿过偏振器成为偏振光。当所述偏振光遇到阻碍(例如超薄玻璃2031、显示面板205)而被反射后,被偏振器阻断。因此,偏振器可以有效阻断来自于自然光遇到阻碍发生反射而传播到层2011外的反射光,起到环境光反射截止功能,改善用户体验。在一些实施例中,偏振器可以为金属偏光片、碘系偏光片、染料系偏光片、聚乙烯偏光片等,本实施例不对偏振器的类型做具体限定。在一些实施例中,偏振器可以为涂布型偏光片。采用涂布型偏光片可以有效降低显示模组的厚度,提升弯折性能。通过涂布型偏光片,可以将偏光片的厚度67um降低到5um。在一些实施例中,偏振器可以为圆偏光片。
在存在附加层2012的一些实施例中,偏振器204与附加层2012可以通过第二粘贴层A2粘贴(例如光学透明胶、压敏胶、热反应性粘合剂)。在一些实施例中,显示模组200可以不包含附加层2012,偏振器204可以与盖板2011可以通过第一粘贴层A1或者第二粘贴层A2粘贴(例如光学透明胶、压敏胶、热反应性粘合剂)。
超薄玻璃具备良好的可弯折特性,耐划伤,抗水氧,耐热性好,透光率高,同时具有一定的表面硬度,因此在满足可弯折的同时也能够提供支撑力。另外,由于其超薄特性,超薄玻璃也可以降低显示模组的厚度。
超薄玻璃2031与偏振器204的背光侧表面可以通过第三粘贴层A3(例如光学透明胶、压敏胶、热反应性粘合剂)粘贴。在一些实施例中,第三粘贴层A3的厚度约为50um,以提供更好的粘贴力。在一些实施例中,第三粘贴层A3可以为低剪切应力值的粘贴胶,以增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能,避免显示模组在折叠时候损坏。应理解,剪切应力值用来衡量第三粘贴层的可拉伸性能。剪切应力值小,说明第三粘贴层的可拉伸性能较好。
在一些实施例中,超薄玻璃2031与显示面板205的出光侧表面可以通过第四粘贴层A4(例如光学透明胶、压敏胶、热反应性粘合剂)粘贴。关于第四粘贴层A4的描述可以援引对 第三粘贴层A3的描述,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,显示模组可以不包括超薄玻璃2031,偏振器与显示面板可以通过第三粘贴层A3和/或第四粘贴层A4进行粘合。
显示模组10包括显示面板205。
在一些实施例中,显示面板205可以为柔性OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode)显示面板。在一些实施例中,显示面板205也可以为柔性OLCD(Organic Liquid-Crystal Display)显示面板。下面以柔性OLED显示面板为例做说明。如图5A所示,柔性OLED显示面板的结构可以包括:基底2051、驱动电路层2052、有机发光器件层2053、封装层2054、封装保护层2055。其中,基底2051可以为有机发光器件层提供良好的水氧阻隔性能,阻断OLED有机材料遇水和/或氧气容易发生反应而失效。在一些实施例中,基底2051可以选择PI(Polyimide,聚酰亚胺)膜或者PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)膜等材料。在一些实施例中,有机发光器件层2053可以为有源型矩阵驱动发光器件AMOLED(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode)。在一些实施例中,驱动电路层2052可以为薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Tansistor,简称TFT)阵列,其中TFT阵列决定AMOLED中哪些像素发光,从而生成图像。在一些实施例中,TFT阵列可以为改进传统的非晶硅技术(a-Si TFT),也可以是载流子迁移率高的低温多晶硅技术(LTPS TFT,Low Temperature Poly-silicon Thin Film Transistor),也可以为有机薄膜晶体管(OTFT)。
在一些实施例中,有机发光器件层2053也可以为无源型矩阵驱动发光器件PMOLED(Passive Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode)。封装层2054可以对所述OLED发光器件进行封装以阻隔水氧,避免水氧进入OLED发光而造成OLED发光器件层失效。在一些实施例中,柔性OLED显示面板还可以包括封装保护层,其中所述封装保护层位于柔性OLED显示面板的出光侧。封装保护层2055可以对有机发光器件层2053与封装层2054起到保护作用,防止在屏幕弯折时候的应力变形。
在一些实施例中,在封装保护层2055与封装层2054之间还可以有触控层,如图5B所示。在一些实施例中,触摸层209可以采用电阻式触控层、电容式触控层、表面声波式触层或光波触控层。在一些实施例中,触控层209可以选用包括导电材料形成的触控网格图案,例如,导电材料可以选用金属、金属氧化物、石墨烯等。
通过将触控层集成在显示面板中,可以有效降低折叠屏显示模组的厚度,同时可以避免弯折时被损坏。
在一些实施例中,触控层可以内置集成超薄玻璃。相比于内置集成PET的触控层,集成有超薄玻璃的触控层可以具有更好的抗落球能力,同时具备更好的应变力,以避免弯折时被损坏。
在一些实施例中,触控层可以为外挂式触控层。在一些实施例中,外挂式触控层可以还被放置于图4所示的显示面板205的出光侧,超薄玻璃2031的背光侧(图中未示出)。通过将外挂式触控层置于超薄玻璃2031的背光侧,可以利用超薄玻璃的抗落球性能特性增强对外挂式触控层的保护。在一些实施例中,外挂式触控层可以被放置于图4所示的超薄玻璃2031的出光侧(图中未示出)。例如,外挂式触控层可以放置于超薄玻璃2031的出光侧,偏振器204的背光侧。将外挂式触控层可以放置于偏振器204的背光侧,可以使得照射到外挂式触控层的环境光反射截止,提升用户体验。
在一些实施例中,外挂式触控层也可以位于偏振器204的出光侧,盖板2011的背光侧。
通过将触控层放置于偏振器204的出光侧,使触控层更加接近盖板2011,用户可以获得 更好的触控体验。
在一些实施例中,显示模组10还可以包括超薄玻璃2032,其中超薄玻璃2032与显示面板205的背光侧可以通过第六粘贴层A6(例如可折叠光学透明胶)粘贴。关于第六粘贴层A6的描述可以援引对第三粘贴层A3的描述,此处不再赘述。此外,在显示模组被弯折时,显示面板205与超薄玻璃层2032之间发生错位移动,第六粘贴层A6还可以避免过大的滑移对显示面板205造成的损坏。
通过将超薄玻璃2031、超薄玻璃2032直接置于显示面板的上下两侧,超薄玻璃可以对显示面板起到很好的支撑作用,有效避免显示模组弯折后显示面板内的有机高分子材料塑性变形造成的弯折拱起问题。
通过可折叠光学透明胶将超薄玻璃与显示面板粘合,可避免在弯折时候的超薄玻璃与显示面板之间的过大滑移对显示面板造成的损伤,保护显示面板。
层207为背膜,用以支撑柔性显示面板205。在一些实施例中,背膜207的材料可以包括PI(Polyimide,聚酰亚胺)、PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)、TAC(Triacetyl Cellulose,三醋酸纤维素)中任意一种高分子薄膜材料。在一些实施例中,,背膜207的材料也可以为其他的柔性材料。
在一些实施例中,背膜可以为LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer,液晶高分子)。
由于LCP具有比PI膜更优良的机械强度,因此可以更好的支撑显示面板,减轻折叠显示模组多次弯折产生的拱起问题。
在一些实施例中,背膜207与超薄玻璃2032通过第五粘贴层A5(例如光学透明胶)粘贴。
层208为支撑结构,可以包括镂空区和非镂空区,如图6所示。应理解,在一些实施例中,镂空结构也可以被称为竹书结构。在一些实施例中,层208可以为金属结构(例如,层208包括金属镂空区和金属非镂空区)。应理解,在一些实施例中,镂空区的图案也可以为其他图案(例如,镂空图案可以为长方形、三角形和圆形等形状的一种或多种组合),本申请实施例不对镂空区的图案做具体限制。可选的,层208的厚度为50um-200um。
在弯折区采用镂空结构,在非弯折区采用非镂空结构对显示模组进行支撑,在满足可弯折的特性的同时,可以给显示模组提供良好的支撑力,降低弯折拱起的程度,增加显示模组折叠后展开的平整度。
在一些实施例中,层208的镂空结构的背光侧可以放置共形天线,所述共性天线可以由在柔性电路板上喷涂的导电轨迹构成。可选的,所述天线的形式可以包括一个或多个定向天线或全向天线,例如,天线可以包括偶极天线,单极天线,贴片天线,环形天线,缝隙天线或适合于射频信号传输的其它类型的天线。可选的,柔性电路板的基材为LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer,液晶高分子)。
金属镂空结构可以作为金属腔体,可以提高共形天线辐射的增益。
通过采用LCP作为柔性电路板的基材,由于LCP的损耗正切值小于常规的柔性电路板所用的PI膜,因此可以降低天线辐射的损耗,同时由于LCP具有良好的机械强度、耐高温,可以保证避免弯折损坏天线,降低天线的寿命。
在一些实施例中,非弯折区可以放置透明天线。可选的,所述透明天线可以为导电薄膜天线。应理解,所述透明天线可以放置于触控层的出光侧。可选的,透明天线的接地端可以为显示模组的金属外壳或者金属支撑结构208。

在一些实施例中,背膜207与支撑结构208之间还可以包括缓冲区(图中未示出),其中缓冲区用于减震和缓冲。其中缓冲区的材料可以为泡棉和/或铜箔。在一些实施例中,缓冲区材料可以包括石墨,以提高显示模组的散热效果。在一些实施例中,背膜207与支撑结构208之间还可以包括支撑组件,其中所述支撑组件可以为SUS(Steel Use Stainless)钢片(例如厚度为30um)、铜片或者铝片的至少一种。在一些实施例中,支撑组件还可以为合金材料。支撑组件具备较高弹性模量,可以起到支撑作用,降低弯折造成的折痕问题。
在一些实施例中,在背膜207与支撑结构208之间包括金属支撑组件,第六粘贴层A6可以为环氧树脂胶或者热熔胶膜。由于金属支撑结构208与金属支撑组件(例如,SUS钢片)均为金属结构,因此第六粘贴层采用环氧树脂胶或者热熔胶膜,可以粘贴更加牢固,同时可以避免可折叠第五粘贴层在金属镂空区导致的横纹问题,使显示模组保持平整。
在一些实施例中,为了更好的散热。背膜207与支撑结构208之间还可以包括散热层(图中未示出),其中散热层与背膜207通过第一粘贴层A1、第二粘贴层A2、第三粘贴层A3、第四粘贴层、第五粘贴层、第六粘贴层中的任意一种粘贴。在一些实施例中,散热层材料可以为石墨烯。在一些实施例中,为了对散热材料进行保护,散热层下方可以放置保护层,其中保护层的材料可以为PET。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,如图7,超薄玻璃2031可以被放置于偏振器204的出光侧,超薄玻璃2032可以被放置于背膜207的背光侧。与图4所述实施例的不同的是,超薄玻璃2031与偏振器204互换了位置,超薄玻璃2032与背膜207互换了位置。关于其他层的内容(包括材料、位置、有益效果等)可以援引图4实施例的内容,此处不再赘述。

通过将超薄玻璃放置于背膜的背光侧,超薄玻璃与背膜同时支撑显示面板,能够更有效的为显示面板提供支撑力,减轻可折叠显示模组因为多次折叠造成的弯折拱起问题。
超薄玻璃2032下方有支撑结构208。关于支撑结构208的描述可援引图4实施例的相关内容。
超薄玻璃2032与支撑结构208通过第六粘贴层(例如光学透明胶)粘贴。关于第六粘贴层的描述可援引图4实施例的相关内容。
在一些实施例中,超薄玻璃2032与支撑结构208之间还可以包括缓冲区,超薄玻璃2032与金属支撑结构208之间还可以包括SUS钢片(图中未示出),其中SUS钢片具备较高弹性模量,可以起到降低弯折造成的折痕问题。
可选的,在一些实施例中,为了更好的散热。超薄玻璃2032与支撑结构208之间还可以包括散热层,其中散热层与背膜通过光学透明胶粘贴,其中散热层材料可以为石墨烯。为了对散热材料进行保护,散热层下方可以放置保护层,其中保护层的材料可以为PET。
经过实验,未使用超薄玻璃的显示模组静态弯折之后展平角度为70°,通过在显示面板上方使用第一张超薄玻璃,在显示面板下方使用第二张超薄玻璃,静态弯折之后展平的角度100°。
进一步的,在上述实施例中,可以选用特定折射率的粘贴层(例如,可折叠光学透明胶)。由于可折叠显示模组大量采用有机高分子膜材,比如CPI,其中CPI的折射率为1.6,而目前的粘贴层的折射率多为1.47,与其他有机高分子膜材折射率匹配不好,导致显示模组叠层各界面的反射率增大,透过率程度降低,显示模组的出光效率受到很大影响。可选的,选用折射率为1.5的粘贴层,可以大幅提高显示模组的光学透光率,降低显示模组的光学反射率。可选的,粘贴层的折射率的数值范围为1.5-1.8。在一些实施例中,对于上述实施例中的粘 贴层,每一层粘贴层的折射率可以不同。
进一步的,在上述实施例中,可以增大所述粘贴层(例如,可折叠光学透明胶)的厚度(例如不低于15um)。增大所述粘贴层的厚度可以降低剪切应力值,以增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能,避免显示模组在折叠时候损坏。可选的,所述粘贴层的厚度15um-45um。在一些实施例中,所述粘接层的厚度可以为75um,100um,125um,或150um。
采用厚度为15um-45um的粘贴层,可以在增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能的同时,不会显著增加显示模组的厚度,保持良好的用户体验。
采用厚度为75um,100um,125um,或150um的粘贴层,可以在增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能的同时,不会显著增加显示模组的厚度,保持良好的用户体验。
在一些实施例中,所述粘贴层(例如可折叠光学透明胶)的厚度在弯折区与非弯折区不同。可选的,所述粘贴层在弯折区的厚度大于所述粘贴层在非弯折区的厚度。可选的,所述粘贴层的厚度在弯折区与非弯折区为渐变,例如,越靠近弯折区的位置,粘贴层厚度越大。可选的,所述粘贴层的厚度从弯折区到非弯折区为阶跃式变化。
采用厚度在弯折区与非弯折区不同的粘贴层,可以在增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能的同时,不会显著增加显示模组的厚度,保持良好的用户体验。
采用厚度在弯折区与非弯折区渐变的粘贴层,可以使得剪切应力在弯折区与非弯折区呈现一个渐变状态,避免折叠显示模组在折叠时弯折区与非弯折区的显示面板受力突变造成显示模组被损坏。
进一步的,在上述实施例中,可以采用低弹性模量的粘贴层(例如,可折叠光学透明胶)。低弹性模量的粘贴层拥有更低的剪切应力值,可以增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能,避免显示模组在折叠时候被损坏。
在一些实施例中,所述粘贴层的弹性模量可以在15Kpa-100Kpa之间。
优选的,所述粘贴层的弹性模量为30Kpa、45Kpa或者50Kpa。
通过采用弹性模量为30Kpa、45Kpa或者50Kpa的粘贴层,在增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能的同时,粘贴层也可以保持粘接力,可以更好的起到粘接作用,防止显示模组功能层之间因粘接不牢固而发送脱落现象。
进一步的,在上述实施例中,显示面板与其上下两侧的粘贴层呈现堆叠结构,显示面板一侧(例如,背光侧)的粘贴层的弹性模量不同于显示面板另外一侧(例如,出光侧)的粘贴层的弹性模量。在一些实施例中,显示面板一侧(例如,背光侧)的粘贴层的弹性模量与显示面板另外一侧(例如,出光侧)的粘贴层的弹性模量的差值小于10Kpa。
在显示面板的两侧采用具有不同弹性模量的粘贴层,可以在增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能,同时也可以提供显示模组弯折后恢复平整所需的支撑力。
在一些实施例中,可以采用在弯折区与非弯折区具有不同弹性模量的粘贴层。可选的,粘贴层在弯折区的弹性模量小于非弯折区的弹性模量。
在一些实施例中,可以采用具有渐变弹性模量的粘贴层(例如,在越靠近弯折区的位置,粘贴层的弹性模量越小,或者粘贴层在沿厚度方向的弹性模量为渐变)。可选的,粘贴层在弯折区的弹性模量小于非弯折区的弹性模量。
在弯折区与非弯折区采用具有不同弹性模量的粘贴层,可以在增强显示模组的可折叠弯折性能,同时也可以提供显示模组弯折后恢复平整所需的支撑力。
应理解,本申请实施例所述的粘贴层可以为可折叠光学透明胶。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请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申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
