Definitions
- the disclosure relates to a flexible display stack for an electronic apparatus, the flexible display stack comprising a display structure and a cover structure superimposed onto the display structure.
- True flexible displays allow the display of an electronic apparatus to be bent and flexed, e.g., in response to folding the electronic apparatus.
- An OLED display stack requires layers providing durability, a user interface, and optical functionality. At least one layer each of a hard coating, a cover window, a touch sensor, and a circular polarizer is generally included, and these must be laminated together with adhesive.
- the hard coating not only defines the appearance and premium look of the apparatus, but functions as a protective layer protecting the display stack from the effect of mechanical impact, scratches, wear, etc. As its name suggests, the hard coating must be relatively hard, to provide such protection, but must at the same time be sufficiently flexible, to allow bending.
- the hard coating material is conventionally made by two components, a hard component and a soft component. By controlling the ratio of these components, it is possible to fine-tune the hardness and flexibility of the hard coating.
- display specifications require the hard coating to pass 200 000 cyclic bending cycles where the strain may exceed up to 3%, and at the same time the hard coating has to be hard enough to pass a nail test or standard steel wool test.
- a further polarizing layer is usually added to the display stack. Although such an added polarizing can solve the color washing issue, it also decreases the light emotion from the display pixels significantly. To compensate for this, the display pixels have to be much brighter; hence, the power consumption is significantly increased and display lifetime decreased.
- the polarizing layer also has poor flexibility and cannot be used for true flexible displays (e.g. foldable or rollable displays).
- a flexible display stack for an electronic apparatus comprising a display structure and a cover structure superimposed onto the display structure.
- the cover structure comprises a first cover layer and at least a second cover layer superimposed onto the first cover layer.
- the first cover layer comprises a continuous structural element comprising a plurality of voids and a continuous matrix configured to fill the voids and at least partially enclose the continuous structural element
- the second cover layer also comprises a continuous structural element comprising a plurality of voids and a continuous matrix configured to fill the voids and at least partially enclose the continuous structural element.

- the structural element(s) comprise(s) a material having one reflective index and the matrix/matrices comprise(s) a material having a further reflective index, the reflective indices being within the first reflective index range, the second reflective index range, and a third reflective index range, improving the antiglare and antireflection properties of the cover structure.
- a difference between the reflective indices within the first reflective index range, a difference between the reflective indices within the second reflective index range, and a difference between the reflective indices within the third reflective index range is ⁇ 1.2%. This prevents the display stack from being perceived as hazy or somehow blurred. A larger difference in reflective index value may lead to the structural element reflecting and diffusively scattering light, which may be perceived as haziness.
- a difference between the first reflective index range, the second reflective index range, and/or the further reflective index range is ⁇ 18%, allowing light emitted from the display structure to reach the user of the display stack with reduced reflections.
- the voids of each structural element have volumes that correspond to X/(2xR), A being a wavelength of radiation, the radiation being emitted by the display structure or incident radiation from an exterior, and R being a reflective index value representative of the first reflective index range, the second reflective index range, or the third reflective index range.
- A being a wavelength of radiation
- R being a reflective index value representative of the first reflective index range, the second reflective index range, or the third reflective index range.

- an electronic apparatus comprising a flexible display stack according to the above, wherein the cover structure of the flexible display stack forms a peripheral surface of the electronic apparatus.
- a cover structure i.e., a hard coating, which is suitable for different types of bendable displays such as slidable or rollable displays.
