下面结合附图和实施例对本申请的实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例的详细描述和附图用于示例性地说明本申请的原理,但不能用来限制本申请的范围,即本申请不限于所描述的实施例。
申请人通过研究发现,实现滑移拉伸的柔性显示装置在滑移过程中,柔性显示屏需要随滑动端同步伸缩,同时柔性显示屏会相对绕轴产生移动。在这个过程中,柔性显示屏中隐藏在柔性显示装置内部的一端会持续受到拉伸作用力,但是由于例如柔性显示屏与绕轴间摩擦等因素的影响,会在 柔性显示屏中间位置处平衡部分拉伸作用力,从而导致柔性显示屏的中位于出光面上的一端的受力小于另一端所受到的拉伸作用力。在这种情况下,为了保证位于柔性显示屏出光面上的一端能够受到足够的外力,以实现柔性显示装置的展开,因此需要提供较大的拉伸作用力,并且拉伸作用力会随滑动距离的增大而增大,从而容易出现显示异常的问题。
为了解决上述问题,请参阅图1至图6,本申请实施例提供了一种柔性显示装置,包括固定座2、绕轴21、第一屏端固定件3、第二屏端固定件4、柔性显示屏1、至少一个第一弹性件22以及至少一个第二弹性件23。
绕轴21设置于固定座2上,第一屏端固定件3可滑动地装设于固定座2上且滑动方向垂直于绕轴21的轴向,第二屏端固定件4可滑动地装设于固定座2上且滑动方向垂直于绕轴21的轴向。柔性显示屏1绕过绕轴21,柔性显示屏1的一端固定于第一屏端固定件3上,另一端固定于第二屏端固定件4上。
第一弹性件22装设于固定座2与第一屏端固定件3之间,并向第一屏端固定件3提供第一弹性力F1;第二弹性件23装设于固定座2与第二屏端固定件4之间,并向第二屏端固定件4提供第二弹性力F2。其中,第一弹性力F1能够至少部分平衡第二弹性力F2。
本申请实施例提供的柔性显示装置至少包括两种状态,即收缩状态以及展开状态,相较于收缩状态,柔性显示装置在展开状态下的可显示画面的尺寸更大,从而能够提高用户的使用体验。
柔性显示屏1为柔性显示装置中用于实现显示功能的主要部件,当柔性显示装置使用时,对应的图像信息需要传递至柔性显示屏1中,并通过柔性显示屏1实现显示。
柔性显示装置包括伸缩结构件S,固定座2、绕轴21、第一屏端固定件3、第二屏端固定件4、第一弹性件22以及第二弹性件23均包括在伸缩结构件S内,伸缩结构件S自身能够发生形变,伸缩结构件S为柔性显示装置内用于实现伸缩效果的主要组件。
固定座2用于安装绕轴21,绕轴21转动连接于固定座2上,在收缩状态下,柔性显示屏1中的部分结构会围绕绕轴21弯曲,以使柔性显示屏1 中的至少部分能够隐藏于柔性显示装置的内部。在柔性显示装置由收缩状态转变为展开状态的过程中,柔性显示屏1会相对绕轴21相对移动,并且绕轴21会相对固定座2转动,柔性显示屏1中的部分结构会从柔性显示装置内部露出,从而能够增大柔性显示装置的可显示画面的尺寸大小。
柔性显示屏1在自身延伸方向上具有相对的两端,其中一端固定于第一屏端固定件3,另一端固定于第二屏端固定件4。由于柔性显示屏1需要绕过绕轴21设置,因此柔性显示屏1的两端分别位于固定座2在柔性显示装置的厚度方向Z上的两侧。进一步地可知,第一屏端固定件3以及第二屏端固定件4分别位于固定座2在厚度方向Z上的两侧。
需要说明的是,第一屏端固定件3和第二屏端固定件4中的一者位于固定座2靠近柔性显示装置出光面的一侧,另一者位于固定座2靠近柔性显示装置背光面的一侧,本申请实施例对此不作限制。为了更清楚描述本申请的技术方案,本申请后续以第一屏端固定件3位于固定座2靠近柔性显示装置出光面的一侧,第二屏端固定件4位于固定座2靠近柔性显示装置背光面的一侧为例进行说明。
第一屏端固定件3与第二屏端固定件4均与固定座2滑动连接,即第一屏端固定件3、第二屏端固定件4以及固定座2中的任意两者均可以相对滑移。当柔性显示装置在收缩状态以及展开状态之间转变的过程中,第一屏端固定件3与第二屏端固定件4的移动方向通常相反。具体地说,在由收缩状态向展开状态转变的过程中,第一屏端固定件3向远离绕轴21的方向移动,而第二屏端固定件4则向靠近绕轴21的方向移动。而柔性显示装置由展开状态转变为收缩状态的过程与之相反,本申请实施例不再赘述。
第一弹性件22装设在固定座2与第一屏端固定件3之间,并向第一屏端固定件3提供第一弹性力F1,而由于柔性显示屏1的一端固定于第一屏端固定件3上,因此第一弹性件22施加的第一弹性力F1能够传递至柔性显示屏1上。第二弹性件23装设在固定座2与第二屏端固定件4之间,并向第二屏端固定件4提供第二弹性力F2。而由于柔性显示屏1的另一端固定于第二屏端固定件4上,因此第二弹性件23施加的第二弹性力F2同样能够传递至柔性显示屏1上。
对于第一弹性件22与第二弹性件23的结构尺寸、第一弹性件22相对于固定座2和第一屏端固定件3的连接方式以及第二弹性件23相对于固定座2和第二屏端固定件4的连接方式,本申请实施例均不作限制。示例性地,第一弹性件22与第二弹性件23均为弹簧结构。
第一弹性力F1能够至少部分平衡第二弹性力F2,即表明第一弹性力F1与第二弹性力F2之间的夹角小于90°。接下来本申请实施例将以第一弹性力F1与第二弹性力F2之间的夹角为0,即第一弹性力F1的方向与第二弹性力F2的方向相同为例进行具体说明。
第一弹性力F1的方向与第二弹性力F2的方向相同,即第一屏端固定件3与第二屏端固定件4的受力方向相同,进一步地,柔性显示屏1相对两端的受力方向相同。由于柔性显示屏1的两端分别位于固定座2在厚度方向Z上的两侧,因此第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的存在,使得柔性显示屏1的两端均具有向远离绕轴21方向移动的趋势,即柔性显示屏1的具有伸长的趋势,从而使外露的显示面保持平展。
由此,第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2分别对柔性显示屏1的两端施加拉伸作用力,第一弹性力F1可以平衡固定座2朝向第一屏端固定件3一侧与柔性显示屏1之间所产生的摩擦,而第二弹性力F2可以平衡固定座2朝向第二屏端固定件4一侧与柔性显示屏1之间所产生的摩擦。第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的存在能够减少固定座2两侧对柔性显示屏1所产生的摩擦影响,从而相对只在一端设置弹性件能够降低因摩擦力导致的柔性显示屏1两端的受力差距过大的风险,提高柔性显示装置的使用可靠性。
此外,当柔性显示装置在收缩状态以及展开状态间转换过程中,由于第一弹性件22和第二弹性件23可以向柔性显示屏1提供一定的拉伸力,从而更利于柔性显示装置的变形。
需要说明的是,对于第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的大小关系,本申请实施例不作限制,即第一弹性力F1可以大于、小于或者等于第二弹性力F2。并且柔性显示装置除了包括上述部件外,还可以根据实际使用需要设置有其他部件。示例性地,柔性显示装置还包括用于安装柔性电路板的电路板固定件5,电路板固定件5与第一屏端固定件3固定连接。伸缩结构 件S外设置有装饰件10a、压框结构10b、底盖10c、电子组件10d、控制键10e以及用于安装控制键10e的控制键安装架10f。其中,压框结构10b以及底盖10c能够共同将伸缩结构件S、电子组件10d以及控制键10e等部件压合固定,装饰件10a能够起到装饰作用,以提高柔性显示装置的美观性。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图7至图11,固定座2与第一屏端固定件3之间设置有第一导滑机构D1,固定座2与第二屏端固定件4之间设置有第二导滑机构D2。
第一导滑机构D1用于实现固定座2与第一屏端固定件3之间的滑动连接,第一屏端固定件3能够通过第一导滑机构D1相对固定座2沿第一方向X相对移动。第二导滑机构D2用于实现固定座2与第二屏端固定件4之间的滑动连接,第二屏端固定件4能够通过第二导滑机构D2相对固定座2沿第一方向X相对移动。
对于第一导滑机构D1和第二导滑机构D2的结构,本申请实施例不作限制。示例性地,第一导滑机构D1为相互配合的滑块和滑槽结构,其中,滑块与滑槽中的一者位于固定座2上,另一者位于第一屏端固定件3上。第二导滑机构D2与之同理,本申请实施例不再赘述。
需要说明的是,对于第一导滑机构D1的数量,本申请实施例同样不作限制。即第一导滑机构D1的数量可以是一个,也可以是多个,当第一导滑机构D1的数量为多个时,多个第一导滑机构D1相互并排设置,以提高第一屏端固定件3与固定座2间滑动连接的可靠性,第二导滑机构D2与之同理。
在一些实施例中,如图7、图8以及图11所示,第一导滑机构D1包括设置在固定座2上的第一导滑块24和设置在第一屏端固定件3上且沿第一方向X延伸的第一滑槽31,第一导滑块24可滑动地装设于第一滑槽31上。
第一滑槽31位于第一屏端固定件3上,示例性地,第一屏端固定件3包括第一滑槽部35,第一滑槽31设置于第一滑槽部35上,且第一滑槽部35与第一屏端固定件3中的其他结构可拆卸连接。第一导滑块24位于固定 座2上,可选地,第一导滑块24可以与固定座2的其他结构可拆卸连接。
第一滑槽31沿第一方向X延伸,第一导滑块24装设在第一滑槽31内,并能够在第一滑槽31内沿第一方向X相对滑动。第一屏端固定件3通过第一滑槽31与第一导滑块24的配合实现与固定座2在第一方向X上的相对移动。其中第一方向X与厚度方向Z相交,示例性地,第一方向X垂直于厚度方向Z,第一方向X为柔性显示装置的伸缩方向。
在一些实施例中,如图10所示,第二导滑机构D2包括设置在固定座2上沿第一方向X延伸的第二滑槽25和设置在第二屏端固定件4上的第二导滑块41,第二导滑块41可滑动地装设于第二滑槽25上。
第二滑槽25位于固定座2上且沿第一方向X延伸,第二导滑块41位于第二屏端固定件4上,第二导滑块41能够在第二滑槽25内沿第一方向X相对滑动。第二屏端固定件4通过第二滑槽25与第二导滑块41的配合实现与固定座2在第一方向X上的相对移动。
在一些实施例中,如图7、图8以及图10所示,固定座2包括导滑安装部28,第一导滑块24和第二滑槽25均设置于导滑安装部28上。
导滑安装部28是固定座2上用于设置第一导滑块24和第二滑槽25的部分,其中第二滑槽25可以通过对导滑安装部28挖除形成,而第一导滑块24可以通过螺栓连接等方式与导滑安装部28固定连接。示例性地,第一导滑块24与第二滑槽25在第二方向Y上并排设置。
在本申请实施例中,导滑安装部28同时实现第一导滑块24与第二滑槽25的安装设置,进一步地,第一导滑块24与第二滑槽25可以共用导滑安装部28中的部分结构用于实现安装。这种设计能够减少第一导滑机构D1和第二导滑机构D2对于柔性显示装置内部空间的占用,提高空间利用率。
在一些实施例中,固定座2还包括沿第二方向Y延伸的支撑梁26,第一方向X与第二方向Y相交,导滑安装部28连接于支撑梁26。
支撑梁26与导滑安装部28连接并保持位置固定,支撑梁26沿第二方向Y延伸,第一方向X与第二方向Y相交,示例性地,第一方向X、第二方向Y以及厚度方向Z两两垂直设置。
由于支撑梁26沿第二方向Y延伸,因此若导滑安装部28的数量为多个时,多个导滑安装部28会在第二方向Y上并排设置。示例性地,导滑安装部28的数量为两个,两个导滑安装部28设置在支撑梁26在第二方向Y上的两端。
本申请实施例通过设置支撑梁26,从而能够同时在固定座2上设置多个导滑安装部28,并能够实现多个导滑安装部28间相对位置的固定,以此能够提高固定座2与第一屏端固定件3之间以及固定座2与第二屏端固定件4之间的滑动连接可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图4和图7所示,绕轴21和导滑安装部28在第一方向X上位于支撑梁26的两侧。
支撑梁26用于连接导滑安装部28,同时支撑梁26还将绕轴21与导滑安装部28间隔开,使得绕轴21与导滑安装部28在第一方向X上分设在支撑梁26的两侧。这种设计能够降低由于第一屏端固定件3以及第二屏端固定件4的移动对绕轴21转动的影响,提高柔性显示装置内部结构的可靠性。
在一些可选实施例中,固定座2还包括连接于支撑梁26的吊耳结构,吊耳结构位于支撑梁26背离导滑安装部28的一侧,吊耳结构上设置有沿第一方向X贯穿的通孔,绕轴21通过螺母以及轴承等结构转动连接于吊耳结构的通孔内。
在一些实施例中,固定座2还包括连接于导滑安装部28的弹性件安装部27,第一弹性件22和第二弹性件23中至少一者装设于弹性件安装部27,第一弹性件22的输出端连接于第一屏端固定件3,第二弹性件23的输出端连接于第二屏端固定件4。
弹性件安装部27连接于导滑安装部28,导滑安装部28连接于支撑梁26。对于支撑梁26与弹性件安装部27之间的相对位置关系,本申请实施例不作限制。示例性地,支撑梁26与弹性件安装部27在第一方向X上间隔设置。
弹性件安装部27用于安装第一弹性件22和第二弹性件23中的至少一者,可选地,第一弹性件22和第二弹性件23均固定于弹性件安装部27上。对于第一弹性件22或第二弹性件23与弹性件安装部27之间的连接关系, 本申请实施例不作限制。示例性地,第一弹性件22和第二弹性件23通过焊接或粘接的方式固定于弹性件安装部27。
第一弹性件22的输出端连接于第一屏端固定件3并能够随第一屏端固定件3同步运动,第一弹性件22通过输出端向第一屏端固定件3施加第一弹性力F1,第一弹性件22的输出端与第一屏端固定件3之间的连接方式包括但不限于粘接以及焊接等。
第二弹性件23的输出端连接于第二屏端固定件4并能够随第二屏端固定件4同步运动,第二弹性件23通过输出端向第二屏端固定件4施加第二弹性力F2,第二弹性件23的输出端与第二屏端固定件4之间的连接方式包括但不限于粘接以及焊接等。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图12,第一屏端固定件3包括第一本体32以及设置于第一本体32朝向第二屏端固定件4一侧的第一连接部33,第一弹性件22的输出端连接于第一连接部33。
第一本体32可以为板状结构,第一连接部33连接于第一本体32,同样地第一滑槽部35也可以连接于第一本体32,第一滑槽部35与第一连接部33在第一本体32上错位设置。第一连接部33用于实现第一屏端固定件3与第一弹性件22上输出端的连接固定,第一弹性件22通过第一连接部33向第一屏端固定件3施加第一弹性力F1。
在一些实施例中,如图9至图11所示,第二屏端固定件4包括第二本体42以及设置于第二本体42朝向第一屏端固定件3一侧的第二连接部43,第二弹性件23的输出端连接于第二连接部43。
与第一本体32相同的是,第二本体42也可以是板状结构,第二连接部43连接于第二本体42,同样地第二导滑块41也可以连接于第二本体42,第二连接部43与第二导滑块41在厚度方向Z上位于第二本体42的同一侧并相互错位设置。第二连接部43用于实现第二屏端固定件4与第二弹性件23上输出端的连接固定,第二弹性件23通过第二连接部43向第二屏端固定件4施加第二弹性力F2。
在一些实施例中,如图4至图6所示,柔性显示装置还包括展出部支撑件6,展出部支撑件6固定于固定座2,展出部支撑件6设置于第一本体 32部朝向第二屏端固定件4的一侧,展出部支撑件6上设置有避让槽61,第一连接部33被配置为能够在避让槽61内性对滑动。
展出部支撑件6固定于固定座2,展出部支撑件6与第一屏端固定件3能够相对滑动。在柔性显示装置由收缩状态转变为展开状态的过程中,第一屏端固定件3与固定座2之间会发生相对滑动,柔性显示屏1中的部分结构会位于固定座2的上方,并显示出特定的图像画面。但是由于固定座2并非整面结构,因此单依靠固定座2很难满足支撑柔性显示屏1的需要。
在这种情况下,本申请实施例增设了展出部支撑件6,展出部支撑件6与固定座2连接固定,即展出部支撑件6能够相对第一屏端固定件3相对滑动,并且展出部支撑件6能够代替固定座2对柔性显示屏1起到正面支撑的作用,从而在展开状态下,柔性显示屏1中用于实现显示效果的部分能够得到更好地支撑效果,提高柔性显示装置的可靠性以及使用寿命。
此外,由于展出部支撑件6与第一连接部33均位于第一本体32朝向第二屏端固定件4的一侧,并且第一屏端固定件3会相对展出部支撑件6相对移动。因此第一连接部33的移动容易与展出部支撑件6发生干涉影响。为了提高柔性显示装置伸缩可靠性,本申请实施例在展出部支撑件6上设置有避让槽61,避让槽61沿第一方向X延伸,第一连接部33的至少部分位于避让槽61内,并能够相对避让槽61滑动。这种设计可以在柔性显示装置伸缩过程中,避免第一屏端固定件3与展出部支撑件6之间的接触,提高可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图5所示,柔性显示装置在收缩状态下,展出部支撑件6与第一屏端固定件3在厚度方向Z上至少部分交叠设置。
本申请实施例中提到的“展出部支撑件6与第一屏端固定件3在厚度方向Z上至少部分交叠设置”指的是:在收缩状态下,展出支撑件在沿厚度方向Z上的正投影与第一屏端固定件3在沿厚度方向Z上的正投影存在有交叠。
由于展出部支撑件6在收缩状态下能够与第一屏端固定件3在厚度方向Z上至少部分交叠设置,因此在收缩状态下,展出部支撑件6能够帮助第一屏端固定件3共同对柔性显示屏1中起到显示作用的部分起到支撑作 用,从而提高柔性显示装置在收缩状态下的使用可靠性。
同时,柔性显示装置在由收缩状态向展开状态转变的过程中,展出部支撑件6与第一屏端固定件3在沿厚度方向Z上的正投影的交叠区域的尺寸逐渐减小,展出部支撑件6超出第一屏端固定件3的部分同样对柔性显示屏1起到支撑作用。
需要说明的是,柔性显示装置在展开状态下,展出部支撑件6可以与第一屏端固定件3在厚度方向Z上至少部分交叠设置,也可以不与第一屏端固定件3在厚度方向Z上存在交叠区域,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图5、图6以及图13,柔性显示装置还包括弯曲支撑件7,弯曲支撑件7在自身延伸方向上具有相对的第一端71和第二端72,第一端71固定于第一屏端固定件3,第二固定于第二屏端固定件4。
与展出部支撑件6相同的是,弯曲支撑件7同样用于支撑柔性显示屏1。但是不同的是,弯曲支撑件7会相对弯曲,并覆盖绕轴21的至少部分结构。具体地说,弯曲支撑件7具有第一端71和第二端72,第一端71可以通过焊接或粘接等方式固定于第一屏端固定件3,之后弯曲支撑件7由第一端71延伸至绕轴21位置处,然后覆盖绕轴21的至少部分结构并弯曲至柔性显示装置中靠近背光面的一侧,最终弯曲支撑件7的第二端72与第二屏端固定件4通过焊接或粘接等方式实现固定连接。
在柔性显示装置展开或部分展开的过程中,第一屏端固定件3会带动弯曲支撑件7的第一端71向远离绕轴21的方向移动,第二屏端固定件4会带动弯曲支撑件7的第二端72向靠近绕轴21的方向移动,位于固定座2靠近第一屏端固定件3一侧的弯曲支撑件7的尺寸逐渐增大,柔性显示装置的可显示画面尺寸增大。
本申请实施例通过设置弯曲支撑件7,从而能够实现对绕轴21位置处的柔性显示屏1起到支撑,提高柔性显示装置在伸缩过程时的可靠性。对于弯曲支撑件7的材质尺寸本申请实施例不作限制,弯曲支撑件7可以为柔性结构,从而能够发生弯曲变形;或者弯曲支撑件7也可以为可弯曲的刚性结构,从而能够提高对柔性显示屏1的支撑效果。
在一些实施例中,弯曲支撑件7中至少部分结构与展出部支撑件6接触。
由于弯曲支撑件7的第一端71连接于第一屏端固定件3,因此弯曲支撑件7中至少部分结构位于固定座2朝向第一屏端固定件3的一侧,且弯曲支撑件7中的至少部分结构会与展出部支撑件6在厚度方向Z上相对设置。
在此基础上,本申请实施例将弯曲支撑件7中部分结构与展出部支撑件6接触,柔性显示屏1能够在展出部支撑件6位置处同时得到弯曲支撑件7以及展出部支撑件6的支撑,从而实现双重支撑效果,提高柔性显示装置内部对于柔性显示屏1的支撑效果。
在一些实施例中,柔性显示屏1的一端固定于第一本体32的远离绕轴21的一端。
由于第一本体32本身为板状结构,并且柔性显示屏1的一端固定在第一本体32远离绕轴21的一端,因此第一屏端固定件3中第一本体32的大部分结构均能对柔性显示屏1起到支撑的作用,从而降低柔性显示屏1在外力作用下发生形变的风险。
在一些实施例中,柔性显示屏1的一端固定于第二本体42远离绕轴21的一端。
由于第二本体42本身为板状结构,并且柔性显示屏1的一端固定在第二本体42远离绕轴21的一端,因此第一屏端固定件3中第二本体42的大部分结构均能对柔性显示屏1起到支撑的作用,从而降低柔性显示屏1在外力作用下发生形变的风险。
在一些实施例中,展出部支撑件6设置于第一屏端固定件3靠近第二屏端固定件4的一侧,弯曲支撑件7包括柔性支撑部73以及设置于柔性支撑部73靠近展出部支撑件6一侧的刚性支撑部74,刚性支撑部74与展出部支撑件6接触。
弯曲支撑件7包括柔性支撑部73和刚性支撑部74,柔性支撑部73可以满足弯曲支撑件7的弯曲需要,刚性支撑部74可以提高弯曲支撑件7的支撑强度。两者相互配合从而满足柔性显示装置的使用需要。
本申请实施例在柔性支撑部73上设置有刚性支撑部74,并让刚性支撑部74设置在柔性支撑部73与展出部支撑件6之间的间隙空间内,柔性支撑部73能够得到刚性支撑部74的支撑,从而降低柔性支撑部73发生形变的风险,提高柔性显示装置的使用寿命。
同时刚性支撑部74还可以实现弯曲支撑件7和展出部支撑件6的相互接触,从而实现对柔性显示屏1的双重支撑效果,提高柔性显示装置的使用可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图13所示,刚性支撑部74呈条状且数量为多个,多个刚性支撑部74在柔性支撑部73的延伸方向上间隔设置。
通常情况下,柔性支撑部73的弯曲能力较强,而刚性支撑部74的弯曲能力较弱,若将刚性支撑部74设置为单个板状结构,则弯曲支撑件7很难满足弯曲需要。
因此本申请实施例将刚性支撑部74设置为多个,并且多个刚性支撑部74在柔性支撑部73的延伸方向上间隔设置,这样使得柔性支撑部73中相对于相邻刚性支撑部74之间的区域可以发生弯曲,从而满足弯曲支撑件7的弯曲需要。示例性地,各刚性支撑部74均为沿第二方向Y延伸成型的条状结构,并且任意相邻两个刚性支撑部74之间的间隔尺寸保持一致。
本申请实施例通过将刚性支撑部74设置为多个且相互间隔设置,从而在满足弯曲支撑件7结构强度的通过时,还可以满足弯曲支撑件7的弯曲需要,具有较高的实用性以及可靠性。
在一些实施例中,柔性支持部包括第三区A3以及在弯曲支撑件7的延伸方向上位于第三区A3两侧的第一区A1和第二区A2,刚性支撑部74设置于第三区A3,第一端71设置与第一区A1,第二端72设置于第二区A2。
柔性支撑部73至少具有第一区A1、第二区A2以及第三区A3三个区域,第一端71位于第一区A1内,第一端71用于实现弯曲支撑件7以及第一屏端固定件3的连接固定;第二端72位于第二区A2内,第二端72用于实现弯曲支撑件7以及第二屏端固定件4的连接固定。第三区A3夹设于第一区A1与第二区A2之间,柔性支撑部73在第三区A3中的至少部分结构覆盖绕轴21设置。
在第一区A1和第二区A2内,柔性支撑部73可以直接与第一屏端固定件3和第二屏端固定件4接触固定,因此本申请实施例未在第一区A1和第二区A2内设置有刚性支撑部74。而在第三区A3内,由于柔性支撑部73与展出部支撑件6之间的间隙空间设置刚性支撑部74,展出部支撑件6可以通过刚性支撑部74向柔性支撑部73的第三区A3提供支撑,并且柔性显示屏1可以在第三区A3位置处可以得到展出部支撑件6以及刚性支撑部74的双重支撑效果。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图5、图6、图13和图14,第一屏端固定件3靠近弯曲支撑件7的一端具有第一凹台34,柔性支撑部73的第一端71设置于第一凹台34,且柔性支撑部73的厚度与第一凹台34的深度相同。
本申请实施例中提到的“柔性支撑部73的厚度”指的是:柔性支撑部73在厚度方向Z上的尺寸;“第一凹台34的深度”指的是:第一凹台34在厚度方向Z上的尺寸。
第一屏端固定件3上的第一凹台34用于容纳柔性支撑部73的第一端71,在此基础上,由于第一凹台34的深度与柔性支撑部73的厚度一致,因此柔性支撑部73的第一端71能够与第一凹台34完全适配,且第一屏端固定件3与柔性支撑部73连接位置处不会出现凸起或凹陷结构,即柔性支撑部73与第一屏端固定件3连接位置处能够形成一平整表面,从而能够更好地承载柔性显示屏1。
需要说明的是,与第一屏端固定件3相同的是,第二屏端固定件4上也可以设置有第二凹台,第二凹台用于容纳柔性支撑部73的第二端72,并确保柔性支撑部73与第二屏端固定件4连接位置处能够形成一平整表面,用于更好地承载柔性显示屏1。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4和图15,柔性显示装置还包括动力提供结构8和应力平衡结构9中的至少一者。动力提供结构8和应力平衡结构9设置于第一屏端固定件3与固定座2之间或者第二屏端固定件4与固定座2之间或者固定座2与绕轴21之间;动力提供结构8被配置为提供固定座2与第一屏端固定件3相对移动的驱动力和固定座2与第一屏端固定件3相对固定时的锚定力(保持相对位置不变的力),应力平衡结构9被配置为 能够提供固定座2相对第一屏端固定件3固定时的锚定力。
动力提供结构8是可以主动向固定座2或第一屏端固定件3提供动力的结构,而动力提供结构8的具体位置,本申请实施例不作限制。动力提供结构8可以位于第一屏端固定件3与所述固定座2之间,也可以位于第二屏端固定件4与固定座2之间,同样也可以位于固定座2与绕轴21之间,即只要动力提供结构8可以向固定座2或和第一屏端固定件3中的至少一者提供动力即可。
动力提供结构8可以实现柔性显示装置收缩或展开的自动化。同时当柔性显示装置处于收缩状态或展开状态时,动力提供结构8还可以提供一定的应力,以使固定座2和第一屏端固定件3能够保持相对固定。
应力平衡结构9能够在柔性显示装置伸缩过程中,向固定座2或第一屏端固定件3提供一定的阻力,以使其平稳移动的结构。同时当柔性显示装置处于收缩状态或展开状态时,应力平衡结构9还可以提供一定的应力,以使固定座2和第一屏端固定件3能够保持相对固定。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图16,动力提供结构8包括电机丝杠模组。示例性地,电机丝杠模组包括安装座81、驱动器82、传动件83以及螺纹块84,安装座81固定于第一屏端固定件3上,驱动器82、传动件83均设置于安装座81上。驱动器82可以为伺服电机或步进电机等设备,传动件83可以为螺纹杆,传动件83沿第一方向X延伸。传动件83的两端可以通过滚动轴承或滑动轴承转动连接于安装座81上,并且驱动器82可以驱动传动件转动。螺纹块84螺纹连接于传动件83并且与固定座2连接固定,当驱动器82驱动传动件83转动时,螺纹块84能够在第一方向X上发生移动,并带动第一屏端固定件3相对固定座2移动。示例性地,固定座2包括有连接臂29,螺纹块84与连接臂29固定连接,螺纹块84和传动件(丝杠)83的配合动作,可使得第一屏端固定件3与固定座2相对移动。需要说明的是,在柔性显示装置展开过程中,为了确保柔性显示装置匀速展开,需要控制动力提供结构8提供的动力F3与第一弹性力F1之和等于第二弹性力F2。此时若第一弹性力F1与第二弹性力F2之间的差距越小,则意味着动力提供结构8需要提供的动力F3越小,更容易实现动力提供结构8以 及柔性显示装置的轻薄化。
在一些实施例中,应力平衡结构9包括阻尼器。阻尼器可以起到缓冲外力的作用,当柔性显示装置在人力作用下发生状态改变时,阻尼器所产生的阻尼能够传递至固定座2以及第一屏端固定件3上,从而缓解外力等因素对柔性显示屏1所产生的瞬时冲击,防止柔性显示装置的伸缩速度过快,确保柔性显示屏1能够平稳伸缩。同时当柔性显示装置的状态保持固定时,阻尼器也可以提供一定的阻力,阻止柔性显示装置在不受外力的情况下出现伸缩,提高柔性显示装置的使用可靠性。
需要说明的是,与动力提供结构8相比,应力平衡结构9无法实现柔性显示装置的自动收缩或展开。因此当使用应力平衡结构9时需要人工拉动柔性显示装置,以实现柔性显示装置的伸缩。在这个过程中,第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2能够在一定程度上起到与应力平衡结构9相同的作用,从而确保柔性显示装置能够匀速稳定伸缩。
在一些实施例中,第一弹性件22和第二弹性件23为恒力弹簧,即第一弹性力F1的大小或第二弹性力F2的大小不随其对应输出端的移动而发生改变。
在相关技术中,柔性显示屏1在滑动过程中受到的拉伸作用力会随着拉伸量的增加而增加,这就导致柔性显示屏1会在展开状态受到较大的作用力,从而容易出现显示异常等问题。
而在本申请实施例中,由于第一弹性件22和第二弹性件23为恒力弹簧,因此柔性显示屏1的两端受到的应力不会随着柔性显示装置状态的改变而发生变化,这样便可以使柔性显示屏1在展开状态下受到的应力更加稳定,从而降低其出现显示异常的风险。可选地,第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的大小均恒定。
在一些实施例中,第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的比值为A,A满足:70%≤A≤130%。
第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2分别对柔性显示屏1的两端起到拉伸功能,为了确保柔性显示屏1两端受力尽可能平衡,本申请实施例将第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的比值A设置在70%-130%之间。示例性地, A为70%、85%、100%、110%、130%中的一者。
并且由前述内容可知,在柔性显示装置展开和缩回过程中,在柔性显示装置大致匀速展开和缩回时,需要控制动力提供结构8提供的动力F3与第一弹性力F1之和稍大于或稍小于第二弹性力F2。此时若第一弹性力F1与第二弹性力F2之间的差距越小,则意味着动力提供结构8需要提供的动力F3越小,从而更容易实现动力提供结构8的小型化进而实现柔性显示装置的轻薄化。
相似地,不使用动力提供结构8,而仅采用应力平衡结构(阻尼器)时,在柔性显示装置展开和缩回过程中,在柔性显示装置大致匀速展开和缩回时,需要用户提供的作用力与第一弹性力F1之和稍大于或稍小于第二弹性力F2。此时若第一弹性力F1与第二弹性力F2之间的差距越小,则意味着用户需要提供的作用力越小,从而操作更轻便;同时,在展开、缩回及部分展开后的静止状态,需要应力平衡结构(阻尼器)提供的平衡力越小,从而更容易实现应力平衡结构(阻尼器)的小型化,进而实现柔性显示装置的轻薄化。
可选地,第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的大小相等,这样可以进一步降低动力提供结构8和/或应力平衡结构(阻尼器)的尺寸,更好地实现柔性显示装置的轻薄化。
本申请实施例通过限制第一弹性力F1和第二弹性力F2的比值A的大小,使得柔性显示屏1两端所受应力相对稳定一致,从而在柔性显示装置伸缩过程中,也能够提高柔性显示装置的伸缩流畅度。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第一弹性件22的数量为两个,两个第一弹性件22并排设置。
由前述内容可知,第一弹性件22的输出端连接于第一屏端固定件3,第一弹性件22通过第一屏端固定件3向柔性显示屏1提供第一弹性力F1。第一弹性力F1的存在能够减少柔性显示装置由伸缩状态转变为展开状态过程中所需的应力大小,进一步地,以在一定程度上减小动力提供结构8或应力平衡结构9的数量或尺寸,从而使得柔性显示装置内部可以设置更多其他部件,以及减小柔性显示装置的整体尺寸。
此外,在一些实施例中,第二弹性件23的数量为两个,两个第二弹性件23并排设置。两个第一弹性件22与两个第二弹性件23对应设置,两个第一弹性件22和两个第二弹性件23能够同时对柔性显示屏1的两端起到拉伸作用,从而降低柔性显示屏1出现显示异常的问题。可选地,两个第二弹性件23位于两个第一弹性件22之间。
在一些实施例中,两个第一弹性件22或两个第二弹性件23相对于柔性显示装置的中央位置对称设置。
本申请实施例提到的“中央位置”具体是指:柔性显示装置中在第二方向上正中间位置处的结构。这种设计使得第一弹性件22或第二弹性件23对柔性显示屏1产生的拉伸力更均衡,可有效避免柔性显示屏1各部位受力不均导致出现显示异常。
虽然已经参考优选实施例对本申请进行了描述,但在不脱离本申请的范围的情况下,可以对其进行各种改进并且可以用等效物替换其中的部件,尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
