Description
本申请涉及显示技术领域，特别是一种折叠显示装置。
折叠手机是近年来电子消费市场的较为关注的产品之一，自该类型产品上市以来，就受到广泛消费者的青睐。相比于传统手机，折叠手机采用屏幕对折的方式，实现屏幕的收折与展开，在不显着增大整机尺寸的情况下，就可以达到增大显示面积的效果。然而，由于此种设计方式需要将屏幕进行对折，且屏幕的弯折半径要求做到很小才能将整机尺寸控制在一定的范围内。然而屏幕的弯折半径设计成很小时，屏幕的弯折区位置的膜层材料塑性变形十分显着。长时间弯折会直接带来明显的折痕问题。此折痕问题一直是影响折叠手机市场进一步拓展的重要原因之一。目前针对如何有效降低屏幕折痕问题，尚未找到合理解决方案。
折叠手机出现折痕问题的机理及过程十分复杂。以有机发光晶体管(organic
light emitting diode,OLED)显示屏幕为例，模组材料、弯折特性、折叠铰链、整机的搭配合理性等因素皆是引起屏幕出现折痕的主要原因。具体而言，如果折叠铰链机构设计的不合理，屏幕在折叠过程和展开过程中弯折运动轨迹与手机中框的运动轨迹会不匹配。因此屏幕被不同程度的拉扯和挤压，即屏幕会承受额外的应力。当折叠手机的显示屏幕被弯折次数达到一定数量时，显示屏幕的材料本身及材料界面层之间的微观损伤会累积到一定程度和尺度，进而逐渐演变成宏观可见的折痕。
此外目前折叠手机由于追求极致的轻薄化设计，要求屏幕的弯折半径更小，而屏幕弯折区模组材料的塑性变形与弯折半径之间呈正比关系。当屏幕的局部应变超过极限塑性应变值时，则会直接形成不可恢复的塑性变形。而弯折疲劳次数的增加，会直接产生明显的折痕。因此，如何有效降低屏幕折痕问题为重要的技术问题。
由于目前折叠手机由于追求极致的轻薄化设计，且要求屏幕的弯折半径更小，目前折叠手机具有明显折痕的技术问题。

在图中，结构相似的单元是以相同标号表示。
如图1所示，本申请的折叠显示装置包括，折叠模组100、支撑板件200、缓冲层300以及柔性显示模组400。缓冲层300设置于支撑板件200上，柔性显示模组400设置于缓冲层300上。进一步说明，折叠显示装置可为折叠手机、折叠显示屏幕等各种可折叠且具有显示功能的装置。
进一步说明，支撑板件200可包括折叠结构201，并设置于折叠模组100上，且折叠结构201之位置对应折叠模组100的轴线。详而言之，折叠模组100的轴线可为折叠模组100折叠时的转折位置。支撑板件200是用以支撑缓冲层300以及柔性显示模组400，并使柔性显示模组400保持平整。
如图1所示，在一实施例中，支撑板件200可以不锈钢制成，但不以此为限。折叠结构201可以图案化工艺于支撑板件200上形成网状结构或是多个孔洞实现。在另一实施例中，支撑板件200的折叠结构201可以柔性材质制作，支撑板件200的其他部分可以刚性材质制作。
如图1所示，在一实施例中，缓冲层300包括石墨及泡棉，柔性显示模组400可经由缓冲层300贴附于支撑板件200。且缓冲层300由于包含石墨，还可有利于柔性显示模组400散热。
如图1所示，在一实施例中，柔性显示模组400包括柔性显示面板，具体地可为柔性有机发光晶体管面板、柔性次毫米发光晶体管(mini
light emitting diode,mini LED)面板、柔性微发光二极体(micro light emitting
diode,micro LED)面板等。
如图1所示，在一实施例中，折叠显示装置更包括保护盖500，以防止灰尘等影响折叠显示装置。
在本申请中，折叠模组100被设计为可展开大于180度，因而展开后可使得设置于折叠模组100的柔性显示模组400于展开时减少折痕。本申请可在不影响屏幕显示器件层的受力状态、屏幕光学特性及人眼感官的情况下，改善屏幕的折痕问题。
如图1所示，进一步说明，折叠模组100包括第一折叠机架101、第二折叠机架102及连接结构103。第二折叠机架102与第一折叠机架101相对设置。连接结构103与第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102相连接，且连接结构103包括限位组件。第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102可相对于折叠模组100的轴线折叠或展开，且当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102完全展开时，第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102之间的限位角度可由限位组件所限定，且限位角度大于180度。
柔性显示模组400可设置于第一折叠机架101、第二折叠机架102及连接结构103上。柔性显示模组400与第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102同步折叠或展开，因此，当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102完全展开时，由于限位角度大于180度，可以减少柔性显示模组400的折痕。
如图1所示，在一实施例中，折叠显示装置可为折叠手机，第一折叠机架101、第二折叠机架102可为手机中框，连接结构103可为折叠铰链。折叠显示装置被折叠时，折叠铰链与手机中框连接，折叠手机的左右中框结构在折叠时呈楔形状态。
如图1所示，在一实施例中，连接结构103包括第一连接组件及第二连接组件。第一连接组件设置于第一折叠机架101上，第二连接组件设置于第二折叠机架102上，第一连接组件及第二连接组件相对旋转。当第一连接组件及第二连接组件之间的夹角旋转至限位角度时，限位组件限制第一连接组件及第二连接组件旋转。具体地，限位角度大于180度小于183度。优选地，通过光学和应力仿真分析，计算并控制柔性显示模组400的受力大小和光学参数后，限位角度可为181.5度。此最佳限位角度，可达到降低屏幕折痕的效果。具体地，如图2至图6所示，在一实施例中，限位组件包括第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231。第一滑槽1132定义于第一连接组件中，且第一滑槽1132平行于第一折叠机架101，第二滑槽1232定义于第二连接组件中，且第二滑槽1232平行于第二折叠机架102。第一限位杆件1131可滑移地穿设第一滑槽1132，第二限位杆件1231可滑移地穿设第二滑槽1232。也就是说，第一限位杆件1131的位移路径由第一滑槽1132限定，第二限位杆件1231的位移路径由第二滑槽1232限定。因此，第一滑槽1132及第二滑槽1232的形状会决定限位角度的数值。在一实施例中，当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102由折叠状态变为完全展开状态时，第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231于第一滑槽1132及第二滑槽1232中朝向远离轴线的方向滑移。换言之，第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231的移动范围由第一滑槽1132及第二滑槽1232所限制。因此，第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231的移动范围决定了第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102可展开的最大角度。
进一步说明，当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102由折叠状态变为完全展开状态时，第一限位杆件1131于第一滑槽1132朝向远离轴线的方向滑移，第二限位杆件1231于第二滑槽1232中朝向远离轴线的方向滑移。但不以此为限，在合理的机构设计下，亦可在第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102由折叠状态变为完全展开状态时，使第一限位杆件1131于第一滑槽1132朝向靠近轴线的方向滑移，第二限位杆件1231于第二滑槽1232中朝向靠近轴线的方向滑移。
在一实施例中，第一连接组件还包括第一齿轮板1136，第二连接组件还包括第二齿轮板1236。第一滑槽1132可定义于第一齿轮板1136中，第二滑槽1232可定义于第二齿轮板1236中。当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102折叠或展开时，第一限位杆件1131在第一滑槽1132移动，并带动第一齿轮板1136转动，第二限位杆件1231在第二滑槽1232移动，并带动第二齿轮板1236转动。
进一步说明，第一滑槽1132及第二滑槽1232可将第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231导向正确的运动方向，因此使得第一枢接板1133及第二枢接板1233运动时具备良好的顺畅性。且第一滑槽1132及第二滑槽1232具有精确的限位作用，即通过尺寸计算和设计，确保连接结构103完全展开至181.5°时恰好限位。
在一实施例中，当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102折叠或展开时，第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236在第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231的带动下相对转动。因此，第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102会同步移动。
在一实施例中，第一连接组件还包括第一传动齿轮1135，第二连接组件还包括第二传动齿轮1235，第一传动齿轮1135与第二传动齿轮1235相互啮合，第一齿轮板1136与第一传动齿轮1135相互啮合，第二传动齿轮1235与第二齿轮板1236相互啮合，第一传动齿轮1135与第二传动齿轮1235设置于第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236之间。透过上述配置关系，可实现第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236在第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231的带动下相对转动。
进一步说明，第一连接组件与第二连接组件可以齿轮互相啮合，也可以弹性件、柔性材料、转轴、套管、等元件相互连接，使得第一连接组件对应第二连接组件转动。
但不以此为限，举例来说也可仅设置第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236，并使第一齿轮板1136与第二齿轮板1236相互啮合，使得结构更为简单，且依旧可达成第一连接组件对应第二连接组件转动的功效。
进一步说明，第一连接组件还包括第一枢接板1133，第二连接组件包括第二枢接板1233。第一枢接板1133及第二枢接板1233分别设置于第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102上。举例来说，第一枢接板1133及第二枢接板1233可分别锁设于第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102上。另外，第一枢接板1133及第二枢接板1233分别与第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231相连接，因此当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102被移动时，会带动第一枢接板1133及第二枢接板1233移动，因而带动第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231移动，使得第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236可相对旋转。在此实施例中，以第一连接组件与第二连接组件相互啮合为例进行说明。连接结构103更包括第一连接单元1031、第二连接单元1032及第三连接单元1033；第一连接组件包括第一连接轴1134、第一传动齿轮1135、第一齿轮板1136及第一弹性件1137；第二连接组件包括第二连接轴1234、第二传动齿轮1235、第二齿轮板1236及第二弹性件1237。
第一连接轴1134依序穿设第三连接单元1033、第一齿轮板1136、第二连接单元1032、第一弹性件1137、第一连接单元1031。第二连接轴1234依序穿设第三连接单元1033、第二齿轮板1236、第二连接单元1032、第二弹性件1237及第一连接单元1031。
进一步说明，第三连接单元1033、第二连接单元1032及第一连接单元1031可为限定第一齿轮板1136、第二齿轮板1236、第一传动齿轮1135、第二传动齿轮1235、第一弹性件1137及第二弹性件1237位置的支架或是固定块，而第一弹性件1137及第二弹性件1237可为弹簧。进一步说明，在一实施例中开口或是通孔等可定义于第三连接单元1033、第二连接单元1032及第一连接单元1031上，使得第一齿轮板1136、第二齿轮板1236、第一传动齿轮1135、第二传动齿轮1235、第一弹性件1137及第二弹性件1237可由第三连接单元1033、第二连接单元1032及第一连接单元1031上限定位置。
另外，在一实施例中，第一传动齿轮1135及第二传动齿轮1235皆具有连接轴，可设置于第二连接单元1032及第三连接单元1033的轴孔中，使得第一传动齿轮1135及第二传动齿轮1235被设置于第二连接单元1032及第三连接单元1033之间。
进一步说明，藉由第一连接轴1134、第二连接轴1234、第一限位杆件1131及第二限位杆件1231将第一枢接板1133、第二枢接板1233、第一连接单元1031、第二连接单元1032、第三连接单元1033、第一弹性件1137、第二弹性件1237、第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236连接为一体。运作时，第一连接轴1134及第二连接轴1234的轴心为转动中心，因而折叠模组100的折叠功能得以实现。
另外，具有连接轴的第一传动齿轮1135及第二传动齿轮1235经由第二连接单元1032及第三连接单元1033的轴孔与第二连接单元1032及第三连接单元1033连接；第一传动齿轮1135及第二传动齿轮1235可带动第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236转动；而第一弹性件1137及第二弹性件1237可提供第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236压力，因此在传动过程中，第一齿轮板1136及第一传动齿轮1135、第一传动齿轮1135及第二传动齿轮1235、第二传动齿轮1235及第二齿轮板1236会有一定的阻力。因而当折叠模组100被弯折时，会有较好的手感。
除此之外，第一弹性件1137及第二弹性件1237的设置可减少第一传动齿轮1135、第二传动齿轮1235、第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236与第二连接单元1032及第三连接单元1033之间的间隙，因此第一传动齿轮1135、第二传动齿轮1235、第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236能在正确的位置转动，使得各零件更加紧凑，传动更为平稳。
现请参阅第6图至第11图，藉由上述的说明可知，第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102可被折叠以方便收纳。当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102完全展开时，例如经由图7至图11的过程由完全折叠至完全展开的状态后，第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102之间的限位角度可由限位组件所限定。具体地，如第6图所示，是由第一限位杆件1131、第二限位杆件1231、第一滑槽1132、第二滑槽1232限制第一传动齿轮1135、第二传动齿轮1235、第一齿轮板1136及第二齿轮板1236的转动。
如图12所示，其中，图12的(A)部分为第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102展开至180°后并静置300秒后柔性显示模组400仿真形貌示意图，图12的(B)部分为第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102展开至181.5°后并静置300秒后柔性显示模组400仿真形貌示意图。比较图12的(A)部分及图12的(B)部分可明显看出柔性显示模组400在第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102展开至181.5°后较为平整。
具体地，当第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102完全展开后，由于第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102完全展开后并未形成完全水平的平面，因此柔性显示模组400会再展开后会再反向弯折一定的角度。此时，柔性显示模组400，转变成向外受拉的状态。因此柔性显示模组400处于适当的预紧拉伸状态，使得原本存在折痕的区域被轻微拉伸恢复平整状态，进而降低折痕效果。
因此，综上所述，本申请的连接结构103与第一折叠机架101及第二折叠机架102连接。藉由第一限位杆件1131、第二限位杆件1231、第一滑槽1132、第二滑槽1232的设计，从而实现连接结构103的极限展开角度可大于180°。因此柔性显示模组400在完全展开时被轻微拉伸，恢复至平直状态，且不显着影响柔性显示模组400的受力状态、屏幕光学特性及人眼感官。
