下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
相关技术中，在显示模组的盖板结构中引入超薄玻璃(UTG，Ultra-Thin Glass)，可以提升显示模组的机械性能，但是目前采用的方案是通过降低UTG的厚度来实现UTG的弯折，因此，采用单纯UTG的方案，显示模组的机械强度还是较弱，且UTG较薄，在使用过程中碎裂风险较大。另外，UTG的生产工艺较复杂，成本较高。
有鉴于此，本申请提供一种柔性盖板、显示模组和显示装置，通过设置至少一层包含第一盖板层和第二盖板层的盖板结构，第二盖板层位于第一盖板层的至少一个表面，且第二盖板层直接贴合到第一盖板层上，同时第二盖板层可以跟随
第一盖板层发生弯折，利用第一盖板层和第二盖板层形成的具有复合结构的柔性盖板，可以提高柔性盖板的抗冲击性和表面硬度，同时也可以保证柔性盖板的折叠性能。
参照图1所示，为本申请实施例公开的一种柔性盖板，该柔性盖板包括至少一层盖板结构10。示例性地，柔性盖板可以包括一层盖板结构10、两层盖板结构10、三层盖板结构10等等。并且，在柔性盖板包括多层盖板结构10时，多层盖板结构10是层叠设置的，例如，第一层盖板结构在最上方，第二层盖板结构在第一层盖板结构的下方，第三层盖板结构在第二层盖板结构的下方。
具体地，参照图1、图2和图3所示，盖板结构10包括第一盖板层101和设置在第一盖板层101上的第二盖板层102。其中，第一盖板层101具有相对的两个表面，第二盖板层102位于第一盖板层101的至少一个表面。
示例性地，第一盖板层101包括有第一表面和第二表面，第二盖板层102可以位于第一盖板层101的第一表面，也可以位于第一盖板层101的第二表面，也可以在第一盖板层101的第一表面和第二表面均设置第二盖板层102。
第一盖板层101可以为单层结构，也可以为多层结构。在第一盖板层101为单层结构时，第一盖板层101的材料可以为CPI(透明聚酰亚胺)、PET(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)或UTG。在第一盖板层101为多层结构时，第一盖板层101每层的材料则可以分别选用CPI、PET或UTG；例如，第一盖板101可以为一层CPI材料和一层PET材料形成的复合结构，也可以为一层PET材料和一层UTG材料形成的复合结构，也可以为一层CPI材料和一层UTG材料形成的复合结构，也可以为一层CPI材料，一层PET材料和一层UTG材料形成的复合结构。
第一盖板层101的厚度大于或等于10μm，且小于或等于100μm，示例性地，第一盖板层101的厚度可以为10μm、15μm、20μm、25μm、30μm、50μm、100μm等等。
第二盖板层102选用具有一定可折叠能力和粘性的材料，使得第二盖板层102可以直接贴合到第一盖板层101上，且第二盖板层102可以跟随第一盖板层101发生折叠。所述直接贴合是指第一盖板层101与第二盖板层102之间不存在任何其他层。这样，将第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101复合后，形成的盖板结构10具有较高的韧性和硬度。示例性地，第二盖板层102可以选用在一定温度(例如100℃)时为熔融状态，并且，在常温(例如25℃)时为固化状态的材料。在制备过程中，将第二盖板层102材料的温度加热到100℃，使得第二盖板层102可以直接粘接到第一盖板层101上，无需其他的连接材料，从而使得柔性盖板的制备工艺更加简便；而在常温下，第二盖板层102则会固化，从而不影响到柔性盖板的正常使用。
并且，在固化状态下，第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101之间需要具有一定的接着强度，也即是两者之间的粘结强度，示例性地，第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101之间的接着强度可以为1-30N/15mm。
第二盖板层102的弹性模量大于或等于1GPa，且小于或等于100GPa。示例性地，第二盖板层102的弹性模量可以为1GPa、10GPa、20GPa、30GPa、40GPa、50GPa、100GPa等等。并且，第一盖板层101的弹性模量需要与第二盖板层102的弹性模量大致相同，这样，盖板结构10在发生弯折时，第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101才可以更好地一起发生弯折。特别地，第一盖板层101的弹性模量与第二盖板层102的弹性模量大致相同是指第一盖板层101的弹性模量与第二盖板层102的弹性模量的差值的绝对值小于等于第一弹性模量的10％。
此外，第二盖板层102固化后的折叠回复性需要保持在70％-100％，从而满足柔性盖板的可折叠。
需要说明的是，柔性盖板包括折叠状态和展开状态。其中，在展开状态下，第二盖板层102在第一盖板层101上是关于第一盖板层101轴对称设置的，且本申请实施例提供的任一柔性盖板均满足该设置。
通过本申请实施例公开的柔性盖板，在将第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101复合后，使得两者形成的盖板结构10具有较强的抗冲击性和表面硬度，并且盖板结构10的折叠性能也可以得到保证。
在一种可选的实施方式中，本申请实施例提供一种柔性盖板，在该柔性盖板中，第二盖板层的材料为热熔胶。
第二盖板层102选用热熔胶的原因是：热熔胶材料具有一定的可折叠能力，并且热熔胶在热固化后具有较高的刚度、较强的抗冲击性和较高的弹性模量，并且具有耐疲劳和低蠕变的特性，因此在将热熔胶材料的第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101复合后，两者形成的盖板结构10具有较强的抗冲击性和表面硬度，并且，热熔胶材料还可以满足R0.5或R1等小半径的折叠，因而不会影响到盖板结构10的折叠性能。
具体地，在选用热熔胶作为第二盖板层102的材料时，第二盖板层102的固化参数，即固化温度为50℃-150℃，固化时间为5min-200min，第二盖板层102固化后的弹性模量为1GPa-70GPa。
在一种可选的实施方式中，参照图4所示，柔性盖板包括弯折区A和设置于弯折区A至少一侧的非弯折区B，第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度小于第二盖板层102在非弯折区B的厚度。
具体地，第二盖板层102的厚度可以大于或等于5μm，且小于或等于300μm。示例性地，第二盖板层102的厚度可以为5μm、10μm、15μm、20μm、25μm、50μm、100μm、150μm、200μm、250μm、300μm等等，在具体应用时本领域技术人员可以根据需求确定第二盖板层102的厚度，在本申请实施例中不做具体限定。
进一步地，第二盖板层102在第一盖板层101上可以为等厚结构，也可以为不等厚结构。也就是说，参照图1所示，第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度可以等于第二盖板层102在非弯折区B的厚度，此时，第二盖板层102在第一盖板层
101上为等厚结构；同时，参照图4所示，第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度也可以小于第二盖板层102在非弯折区B的厚度，此时第二盖板层102在第一盖板层101上为不等厚结构，且在第二盖板层102为不等厚结构的情况下，盖板结构10本身具有更好的折叠性能。
同时，在第一盖板层101的两个表面均设置有第二盖板层102的情况下，第一盖板层101两个表面上的第二盖板层102可以均为等厚结构，也可以均为不等厚结构，或者，第一盖板层101一个表面的第二盖板层102为等厚结构，第一盖板层101另一个表面的第二盖板层102为不等厚结构。
下面，本申请实施例将关于第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度小于第二盖板层102在非弯折区B的厚度的多种结构进行介绍。
在一种可选的实施方式中，本申请还提供一种柔性盖板，在该柔性盖板中，参照图4所示，在弯折区A内不设置第二盖板层102，此时，第二盖板层102在第一盖板层101上的正投影与弯折区A无交叠。也就是说，在第一盖板层101的平面上，第二盖板层102会在弯折区A内断开，这种情况下，第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度为0，因此可以理解为第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度小于第二盖板层102在非弯折区B的厚度。
进一步地，参照图5和图6所示，在第二盖板层102分布于第一盖板层101的另一个表面，或者分布于第一盖板层101的两个表面上时，也可以在弯折区A内不设置第二盖板层102。
具体地，该种情况下，可以先将第二盖板层102做成有段差设计，并使用保护膜将第二盖板层102保护起来，在复合第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101时，只需利用贴合冶具将第二盖板层102贴合到第一盖板层101上，并且使第二盖板层102存在段差的位置与弯折区A对应起来，再对第二盖板层102进行热固化，即可完成第一盖板层101与第二盖板层102的复合。
通过本申请实施例提供的柔性盖板，将第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度设置为0，使得第一盖板层101与第二盖板层102复合形成的盖板结构10具有更好的折叠性能，并且第二盖板层102和第一盖板层101复合后，提高了柔性盖板的抗冲击性、表面硬度，同时也保证了柔性盖板的折叠性能。
在一种可选的实施方式中，本申请实施例提供一种柔性盖板，在该柔性盖板中，参照图7所示，弯折区A包括两个第一侧边(图中未示出)和位于两个第一侧边的中心线(图中未示出)，两个第一侧边对称设置在中心线的两侧，非弯折区B与第一侧边相连。
具体地，在该柔性盖板中，弯折区A两侧均为非弯折区B，因此两个第一侧边是分别与两个非弯折区B连接的，因此，第一侧边可以理解为弯折区A与非弯折区B的交界线，而中心线则可以理解为第一盖板层101的中心线。
同时，在该柔性盖板中，在弯折区A内，靠近第一侧边的第二盖板层102的厚度大于靠近中心线的第二盖板层102的厚度。也就是说，不同于前文所述的柔
性盖板，在该柔性盖板中，第二盖板层102在弯折区A内的厚度不为0，但是第二盖板层102在弯折区A内的厚度并非是相同的，而是由第一侧边朝向中心线减小的。
示例性地，参照图7所示，第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度可以由第一侧边朝向中心线逐渐减小，此时第二盖板层102在弯折区A内的厚度是渐变的。该第二盖板层102可以通过模具形成在第一盖板层101上，并且通过模具实现第二盖板层102在弯折区A内的厚度渐变，再经过冷却，即可实现第一盖板层101与第二盖板层102的复合。
进一步地，参照图8和图9所示，在第二盖板层102分布于第一盖板层101的另一个表面，或者分布于第一盖板层101的两个表面上时，也可以使第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度可以由第一侧边朝向中心线逐渐减小。
需要说明的是，在该盖板结构10的制备过程中，第二盖板层102的两侧会存在有溢胶区，因此在冷却后，需要利用激光将溢胶区切除，才可以形成最终的盖板结构10。
示例性地，参照图10所示，第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度也可以不是渐变的。此时，第二盖板层102在第一侧边到中心线之间包括多个子区域，每个子区域的厚度是不相同的，并且越靠近中心线的子区域，其厚度也就越小，但是位于同一个子区域内的第二盖板层102的厚度是相同的。
进一步地，参照图11和图12所示，在第二盖板层102分布于第一盖板层101的另一个表面，或者分布于第一盖板层101的两个表面上时，也可以使第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度也可以不是渐变的。
举例来说，第二盖板层102在第一侧边到中心线之间包括五个子区域，其中，第一个子区域是最靠近第一侧边的，第五个子区域是最靠近中心线的。第一个子区域的厚度为100μm，第二个子区域的厚度为90μm，第三个子区域的厚度为80μm，第四个子区域的厚度为70μm，第五个子区域的厚度为60μm。这样也可以形成第二盖板层102在弯折区A内的厚度由第一侧边到中心线减小的结构。
通过本申请实施例提供的柔性盖板，使第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度由第一侧边到中心线减小，使得柔性盖板具有更好的折叠性能，并且第二盖板层102在弯折区A内有分布，也使得柔性盖板在弯折区A也具有一定的抗冲击能力和表面硬度，进一步提高了柔性盖板的使用效果。
在一种可选的实施方式中，本申请实施例还提供一种柔性盖板，在该柔性盖板中，第二盖板层102同时位于第一盖板层101相对的第一表面和第二表面，位于第一表面的第二盖板层102为第三盖板层1021，位于第二表面的第二盖板层102为第四盖板层1022。
具体地，参照图13所示，第三盖板层1021在弯折区A的厚度等于第三盖板层1021在非弯折区B的厚度，第四盖板层1022在弯折区A的厚度小于第四盖板层1022在非弯折区B的厚度。也就是说，在该柔性盖板中，在第一盖板层101的
两个表面均设置有第二盖板层102，且第二盖板层102中的第三盖板层1021为等厚结构，第四盖板层1022为不等厚结构。其中，第四盖板层1022的不等厚结构可以包括前文所述的任一种情况。例如，第四盖板层1022在弯折区A的厚度可以为0，也可以是由第一侧边朝向中心减小的，图13中仅示出了第四盖板层1022在弯折区A的厚度为0的情况。
通过本申请实施例提供的柔性盖板，使第三盖板层1021为等厚结构，第四盖板层1022为不等厚结构，可以使折叠盖板在具备较强的抗冲击能力和表面硬度的同时，也具备较强的折叠性能。
在一种可选的实施方式中，本申请实施例还提供一种柔性盖板，在该柔性盖板中，柔性盖板还包括填平层103。
具体地，参照图5所示，在第二盖板层102在弯折区A的厚度小于第二盖板层102在非弯折区B的厚度的情况下，第二盖板层102在弯折区A包括凹陷区域C，填平层103则位于第二盖板层102背离第一盖板层101的一侧，且填平层103完全填充该凹陷区域C。
具体地，在第二盖板层102为不同结构时，凹陷区域C的形状也是不同的。如图5所示，在弯折区A不设置第二盖板层102时，凹陷区域C的形状为梯形；如图7所示，在第二盖板层102的厚度由第一侧边到中心线逐渐减小时，凹陷区域C的形状为三角形；如图10所示，在第二盖板层102的厚度由第一侧边到中心线梯度减小时，凹陷区域C的形状为台阶形。需要说明的是，在图5中，第二盖板层靠近弯折区的侧边设置为斜边，因此凹陷区域C的形状呈梯形，在其他实施方式中，也可以在这个位置不设置斜边，此时凹陷区域C的形状则为矩形。
在盖板结构10与其他结构(例如另一层盖板结构10或者显示面板30)连接时，若第二盖板层102本身是包括凹陷区域C的，那么就容易出现连接不紧密的问题，因此，为了使盖板结构10可以更好地与其他结构连接，参照图14所示，在第二盖板层102远离背板的一侧设置了填平层103。其中，填平层103可以选用无机材料，例如SiO2；也可以选用有机材料，例如亚克力或聚酰亚胺。
在一种可选的实施方式中，本申请实施例还提供一种柔性盖板，在该柔性盖板中，参照图15所示，至少一层盖板结构10包括层叠设置的第一盖板结构104和第二盖板结构105，并且第一盖板结构104和第二盖板结构105之间设置有连接胶层50。
具体地，第一盖板结构104可以为本申请实施例前文所述的任一种盖板结构10，第二盖板结构105也可以为本申请实施例前文所述的任一种盖板结构10。为了更好地连接第一盖板结构104和第二盖板结构105，在第一盖板结构104和第二盖板结构105之间设置了连接胶层50，连接胶层50可以选用OCA(Optically Clear Adhesive)光学胶，利用连接胶层50使得第一盖板结构104和第二盖板结构105的连接更为紧密。当然，第一盖板结构104和第二盖板结构105之间也可以不设置连接胶层50，两者之间的连接可以仅通过热熔胶材料的第二盖板层102实现。
基于同一发明构思，本申请实施例公开一种显示模组，参照图16所示，该显示模组包括支撑层20、设置在支撑层20上的显示面板30，以及设置在显示面板30上的本申请实施例所述的任一种柔性盖板。
具体地，支撑层20为显示模组提供支撑能力，支撑层20的材料可以是SUS或碳纤维。在支撑层20与显示面板30之间还可以设置缓冲层40，缓冲层40的材料可以选用泡棉或PET。支撑层20与缓冲层40之间通过第一连接层701连接，缓冲层40与显示面板30之间通过第二连接层702连接，显示面板30与盖板结构10之间通过第三连接层703连接。其中，第一连接层701、第二连接层702和第三连接层703均为胶材，例如OCA光学胶。
此外，参照图17所示，在一种可选的实施方式中，显示面板30与柔性盖板之间也可以不通过第三连接层703连接，并直接通过具有粘性的第二盖板层102连接。
通过本申请实施例提供的显示模组，集合了第二盖板层102与第一盖板层101复合的柔性盖板，使得显示模组具有更强的抗冲击性和表面硬度，同时也保证了显示模组的折叠性能。
在一种可选的实施方式中，本申请实施例还提供一种显示模组，在该显示模组中，参照图18所示，显示模组包括弯折区A和设置于弯折区A至少一侧的非弯折区B。支撑层20靠近显示面板30的一侧设置刻蚀凹槽201，刻蚀凹槽201在柔性盖板上的正投影位于弯折区A的范围内，且刻蚀凹槽201部分贯穿或完全贯穿支撑层20设置。
具体地，在支撑层20与显示面板30之间设置有填充层60，且填充层60至少部分填充刻蚀凹槽201。
示例性地，参照图19所示，若刻蚀凹槽201没有完全贯穿支撑层20，填充层60则可以完全填充刻蚀凹槽201；参照图20所示，若刻蚀凹槽201完全贯穿支撑层20，则填充层60可以部分填充贯穿支撑层20的刻蚀凹槽201；参照图21所示，在刻蚀凹槽201完全贯穿支撑层20的情况下，填充层60也可以完全填充贯穿支撑层20的刻蚀凹槽201；本领域技术人员可以根据实际需求进行设置。
填充层60的材料可以热熔胶。由于热熔胶材料具有较高的弹性模量，因此通过将热熔胶材料的填充层60与具有刻蚀凹槽201的支撑层20复合，可以提高整个显示模组的机械性能，同时还可以减小显示模组的折痕，使得显示模组的使用效果更好。
基于同一发明构思，本申请实施例还提供一种显示装置，该显示装置包括本申请实施例所述的任一种柔性盖板，或者包括本申请实施例所述的任一种显示模组。
具体地，该显示装置可以包括OLED(OrganicLight-Emitting Diode，有机发
光二极管20)显示屏、手机等移动装置、手表等可穿戴设备、VR装置等等，本领域技术人员可根据该显示设备的具体用途进行相应地选择，在此不再赘述。
