具体实施方式
在下面的描述中,出于解释的目的,阐述了许多具体细节以提供对各种示例性实施例的全面的理解。然而,明显的是,在不具有这些具体细节或者具有一个或多个等同布置的情况下,可以实施各种示例性实施例。在其它情况下,以框图形式示出了公知的结构和装置,以避免使各种示例性实施例不必要地模糊。此外,各种示例性实施例可以是不同的,但不必是排他的。例如,在不脱离发明构思的情况下,可以在另一示例性实施例中使用或实施示例性实施例的具体形状、配置和特性。
在附图中,为了清楚和/或描述的目的,可以放大元件的尺寸和相对尺寸。如此,各个元件的尺寸和相对尺寸不必限于图中所示的尺寸和相对尺寸。当可以不同地实施示例性实施例时,可以与描述的顺序不同地执行具体的工艺顺序。例如,可以基本上同时执行或者以与描述的顺序相反的顺序执行两个连续描述的工艺。此外,同样的附图标记表示同样的元件。
当元件被描述为“在”另一元件“上”、“连接到”另一元件或“结合到”另一元件时,元件可以直接在另一元件上、直接连接到另一元件或直接结合到另一元件,或者可以存在中间元件。然而,当元件被描述为“直接在”另一元件“上”、“直接连接到”另一元件或“直接结合到”另一元件时,不存在中间元件。用于描述元件之间的关系的其他术语和/或表述应当以类似的方式解释,例如,“在……之间”对“直接在……之间”、“相邻”对“直接相邻”或“在……上”对“直接在……上”等。此外,术语“连接”可指的是物理连接、电连接、通信连接和/或流体连接。此外,X轴、Y轴和Z轴不限于直角坐标系的三个轴,并且可以以更广泛的含义解释。例如,X轴、Y轴和Z轴可彼此垂直,或者可代表彼此不垂直的不同方向。出于本公开的目的,“X、 Y和Z中的至少一个”和“从由X、Y和Z构成的组中选择的至少一个”可以被解释为仅X、仅Y、仅Z、或者诸如XYZ、XYY、YZ和ZZ的X、Y和Z中的两个或更多个的任何组合。如文中所使用的,术语“和/或”包括所列相关项中的一个或多个的任何组合和所有组合。
应该理解的是,尽管在这里可使用术语第一、第二等来描述不同的元件,但是这些元件不应受这些术语的限制。这些术语仅是用来将一个元件与另一个元件区分开来。例如,在不脱离示例实施例的范围的情况下,第一元件可以被命名为第二元件,类似地,第二元件可以被命名为第一元件。
为了描述的目的,在文中可以使用诸如“在……之下”、“在……下方”、“在……下面”、“下”、“在……上方”、“上”、“在……之上”、“较高的”或“侧”(例如,如在“侧壁”中)等的空间相对术语,从而描述如图中所示的一个元件与另一(或另一些)元件的关系。除了图中描绘的方位之外,空间相对术语还意图包含设备在使用、操作和/或制造中的不同方位。例如,如果图中的设备被翻转,则被描述为“在”其它元件或特征“下方”或“之下”的元件将随后被定位为“在”其它元件或特征“上方”。因此,示例性术语“在……下方”可以包含上方和下方两种方位。此外,设备可以被另外定位(例如,旋转90度或者在其它方位处),如此,相应地解释文中使用的空间相对描述语。
文中使用的术语是为了描述具体实施例的目的,而非意图是限制性的。如文中所使用的,除非上下文另外明确指出,否则单数形式“一个”、“一种”和“”也意图包括复数形式。而且,当在本说明书中使用术语“包括”时,术语说明存在所陈述的特征、整体、步骤、操作、元件、组件和/或它们的组,但不排除存在或添加一个或多个其它特征、其它整体、其它步骤、其它操作、其它元件、其它组件和/或它们的组。还注意的是,如文中所使用的,术语“基本上”、“约”和其它类似术语用作近似术语而非程度术语,如此,术语“基本上”、“约”和其它类似术语用于说明本领域普通技术人员会认识到的测量值、计算值和/或提供值的固有偏差。
除非另外限定,否则文中使用的所有术语(包括技术术语和科学术语)具有与本公开作为其一部分的领域中的普通技术人员所通常理解的含义相同的含义。
本领域技术人员应该理解,材料在弹性变形阶段,应力和应变成正比例关系(即符合胡克定律),其比例系数可以称为弹性模量。“弹性模量”是描述材料弹性的一个物理量,是一个统称,表示方法可以是“杨氏模量”、“体积模量”等。
“弯曲强度”是指材料在弯曲负荷作用下破裂或达到规定弯矩时能承受的最大应力,此应力为弯曲时的最大正应力。它反映了材料抗弯曲的能力,用来衡量材料的弯曲性能。
“开孔工艺”是利用相关设备通过温度、化学反应、激光或压力等方式在待开孔部件上进行加工,最终形成孔状的方法与过程。
“热压”是将待连接部件放入热压模具后,以压力将模具中待连接部件固定于加热部,控制温度及时间,以达融化后硬化、冷却,再予以取出支撑件成品。
“铆接工艺”即是利用轴向力将零件铆钉孔内钉杆墩粗并形成钉头,使待连接部件相连接的方法与过程。
“注塑工艺”是指将熔融的原料通过注入、冷却、脱离等操作制作预期形状的支撑件的工艺过程。
“碳纤维预浸料”是将碳纤维丝束、树脂等经过涂膜、热压、冷却、覆膜、卷制等工艺进行加工制作而成。
下文中,将参照附图描述本公开的示例性实施例。
图1是根据本公开一些示例性实施例的显示装置的透视图。图2是根据本公开一些示例性实施例的显示装置的平面图。图3是根据本公开一些示例性实施例的显示装置沿图2中的线AA’截取的截面图。图4是根据本公开一些示例性实施例的显示装置在图3中的部分I的平面放大图。
参照图1和图2,显示装置100例如可适用于移动终端。移动终端的示例包括平板个人计算机(PC)、智能手机、个人数字助理(PDA)、便携式多媒体播放器、游戏机或腕表式电子装置等。然而,本公开的实施例并不意图限制显示装置100可适用的移动终端的类型。在一些示例性实施例中,显示装置100不仅可用于诸如电视机(TV)或外部广告牌等大型电子装置中,而且可用于诸如PC、笔记本式计算机、汽车导航装置或相机等中型或小型电子装置中。
显示装置100在平面图中可具有矩形形状。显示装置100可具有在第一方向x上延伸的两个短边和在第二方向y上延伸的两个长边。其中显示装置100的两个长边和两个短边相交的角可为直角或者可以是弧形。本公开的实施例不意图限制显示装置100的平面形状,例如,在其他实施例中,显示装置100在平面图中可具有圆形形状、多边形形状或其他形状。
显示装置100可以包括显示面板1和支撑件3。
在一些示例性实施例中,显示面板1可以是包括发光元件的显示面板。例如,显示面板1可以包括有机发光二极管(OLED)、量子点发光二极管(QLED)和/或基于无机材料的微LED(micro-LED)。为了方便描述,假设显示面板1包括OLED,并且将在后面更详细地描述显示面板1的元件。
参照图1至图4,显示装置100的显示面板1可包括衬底基板11、驱动层12、有机发光元件层13、封装层14、偏光片15和盖板16等元件。应该理解,显示面板1还可以包括其他膜层或元件,本公开的实施例并不对其进行穷举式的描述。
除非另有说明,否则本文中所使用的术语“上部”、“顶部”、“顶表面”和“向上”指的是显示面板1的显示侧,即,显示面板1的在Z轴方向上的一侧,并且本文中所使用的术语“下部”、“底部”、“底表面”、“背面”和“向下”指的是显示面板1的相对于显示侧的相反侧,即,显示面板1的在z轴方向的相反方向上的一侧。
衬底基板11提供显示面板1的底表面。衬底基板11可以是柔性基板,并且可包括具有相对优异的耐热性和耐久性的塑性材料,诸如,邻苯二甲酸聚乙烯醚、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯(PEN)、聚碳酸酯(PC)、聚芳酯、聚醚酰亚胺、聚醚砜(PES)或聚酰亚胺(PI)。为了方便描述,假设衬底基板11包括PI。
显示面板1包括弯折区A1和非弯折区A2。参照图2,显示面板1可以适用于全面屏(例如显示图像等信息的显示区域DA占比90%以上,仅为示例),图1和图2中所示的弯折区A1和非弯折区A2皆可以为显示区域DA。本公开的实施例不必须限制显示面板1的屏占比例,例如,在其他实施例中,显示面板1可具有显示区域DA和不显示图像等信息的非显示区域NDA。在一些示例性实施例中,非显示区域NDA可设置为与显示区域DA相邻,例如, 包围显示区域DA。
在平面图中,弯折区A1可沿着第一方向x延伸贯穿非显示区域NDA。在一些示例性实施例中,弯折区A1还可沿着第二方向y延伸贯穿非显示区域NDA(图中未示出)。
显示面板1能够沿着位于弯折区A1中的弯曲轴线BX1弯曲或折叠,弯曲轴线BX1沿着第一方向x在弯折区A1中延伸。借助弯折区A1,显示面板1可以被弯曲或折叠。
需要说明的是,在本文中,除非另有说明,“弯曲轴线”指的是一条假想的线,而不是指代一条实体的轴线或实体结构,一般地,具有弯曲轴线的部件可以围绕该弯曲轴线弯曲或折叠。
在本公开的实施例中,显示面板1是柔性显示面板。也就是说,除了弯折区A1中的部分可以弯曲或折叠之外,显示面板1的其他部分也可以是柔性的,即可被弯曲或折叠,从而实现柔性显示装置。弯折区A1是柔性显示面板能够实现可弯曲、可折叠或可卷曲功能的区域,在其下方设置有支撑件3的弯折部31。非弯折区A2为弯折区A1之外的其他区域,非弯折区A2中的柔性显示面板例如也是可弯曲、可折叠或可卷曲的,在其下方设置有支撑件3的支撑部32。
参照图1~图3,支撑件3可设置在显示面板1下方。在一些示例性实施例中,支撑件3可结合到显示面板1的底表面(背面)。支撑件3可支撑柔性的显示面板1,并且可保护显示面板1的底表面。
支撑件3包括弯折部31和支撑部32。弯折部31可以与显示面板1的弯折区A1重叠(例如重合),即,显示面板1的弯折区A1在支撑件3上的正投影落入弯折部31内。支撑部32可以与显示面板1的非弯折区A1重叠(例如重合),即,显示面板1的至少部分非弯折区A2在支撑件3上的正投影落入支撑部32内。
尤其说明的是,弯折部31可以部分与显示面板1的弯折区A1重叠而非完全重合。例如弯折部31的区域面积大于弯折区A1在支撑件3上的正投影,换言之,至少部分非弯折区A2在支撑件3上的正投影落入弯折部上。
图5是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的显示装置的显示面板的像素结构的截面图。
示例性地,图5示出驱动层12的驱动晶体管Qd。驱动晶体管Qd包括有源层121、栅电极123、源电极125以及漏电极127。
有源层121可设置在衬底基板11上。驱动层12还可包括设置在有源层121和栅电极123之间的第一绝缘层122。第一绝缘层122可将有源层121和栅电极123彼此绝缘。驱动层12还可包括设置在栅电极123和源电极125之间以及在栅电极123和漏电极127之间的栅绝缘层124,以及设置在栅绝缘层124远离衬底基板11一侧的第二绝缘层126。源电极125和漏电极127可分别经由形成在第一绝缘层122、栅绝缘层124和第二绝缘层126三者中的接触孔CH1和CH2电连接到有源层121。
驱动层12还可包括设置在源电极125和漏电极127上的钝化膜128。
虽然未在图5中具体示出,但是开关晶体管可具有与驱动晶体管Qd基本相同的结构或者与驱动晶体管Qd类似的结构,但是示例性实施例不限于此。即,可替代地,开关晶体管和驱动晶体管Qd可具有不同的结构。例如,开关晶体管的有源层和驱动晶体管Qd的有源层121可置于不同的层上。
在一些示例性实施例中,驱动层12不仅可设置在显示区域DA中,还可设置在非显示区域NDA中。例如,驱动层12还可以包括电连接至驱动集成电路(IC)的多条走线,这些走线可以位于非显示区域NDA中。
应该理解,驱动层12还可以包括电容Cst,参照图5,电容Cst包括相对且间隔设置的第一极板C1和第二极板C2。例如,第一极板C1可以与栅电极123位于同一层,第二极板C2可以位于栅绝缘层124远离衬底基板11的一侧。例如,第一极板C1和第二极板C2均可以由与栅电极123相同的材料构成。
有机发光元件层13可包括作为发射元件的有机发光元件。有机发光元件可以是顶发射型(top emission-type),并且可在向上的方向、即在z轴方向上发光。
参照图5,有机发光元件可包括第一电极131、有机层132以及第二电极133。
第一电极131设置在钝化膜128上。第一电极131经由形成在钝化膜128中的接触孔CH3电连接到漏电极127。第一电极131可以是像素电极或阳极。
有机层132可包括由低分子有机材料或聚合物有机材料形成的有机发射层。有机发射层可基于第一电极131和第二电极133之间的电压差发光。虽 然未示出,但是有机层132还可包括空穴传输层(HTL)、空穴注入层(HIL)、电子传输层(ETL)以及电子注入层(EIL)中的至少一个。因此,来自第一电极131的空穴和来自第二电极133的电子可注入有机层132中。在有机发射层中,空穴和电子可结合以产生激子,随着激子从激发态跃迁至基态,可发射光。
第二电极133可设置在有机层132上。第二电极133可以是公共电极或阴极。
有机发光元件层13还可包括设置在钝化膜128上的像素限定层PDL。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,有机发光元件层13可以仅设置在显示面板1的显示区域DA中,不设置在非显示区域NDA中。
封装层14可设置在有机发光元件层13上。封装层14可保护有机发光元件层13免受外部湿气和空气的影响。
在一些示例性实施例中,封装层14可形成为薄膜封装层,并且可包括至少一个有机膜和至少一个无机膜。例如,封装层14可包括设置在第二电极133上的第一无机膜141、设置在第一无机膜141上的有机膜145以及设置在有机膜145上的第二无机膜143。在这种情况下,可有效防止湿气和空气等从显示面板1的外部渗透至显示面板1的内部。
参照图3至图5,偏光片15设置在封装层14远离衬底基板11的一侧,以偏振有机发光元件发出的光。应该理解,根据本公开的实施例的显示面板还可以包括其他类型的光学膜层,而不局限于偏光片。
作为一个示例,偏光片15可以仅设置在显示面板1的显示区域DA中,不设置在非显示区域NDA中。
盖板16通过光学粘合剂层贴合在偏光片15上。例如,盖板16可以覆盖显示面板1的整个上表面,即覆盖显示面板1的显示区域DA和非显示区域NDA。
图6是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的显示装置沿弯折区折叠后的状态下的截面图。
参照图6,显示面板1可在弯折区A1中沿着在第一方向x上延伸的弯曲轴线BX1(参见图1)向外折叠或弯曲。即向外折叠或弯曲后,显示面板1可以位于外部供使用者观看,最终得到的可观看的屏幕尺寸可以不同,满足 客户对不同尺寸产品使用的需求的同时,还可以降低产品的收纳尺寸,便于收纳携带,还可以直接开机即可看到显示面板1的相关画面,避免频繁折叠产品。
图7是根据本公开的另一些示例性实施例的显示装置沿弯折区折叠后的状态下的截面图。
参照图7,显示面板1可在弯折区A1中沿着在第一方向x上延伸的弯曲轴线BX1(参见图1)向内折叠或弯曲。即向内折叠或弯曲后,显示面板1可以位于内部,同样可以降低产品的收纳尺寸,便于收纳携带,还可以在折叠状态保护显示面板1,在需要观看使用时再打开实现大尺寸显示即可。
图8是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的支撑件的正面图。图9是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的支撑件在连接前的示意图。图10是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的图9中支撑件在连接后的示意图。图11是根据本公开一些示例性实施例的显示装置在图8中的部分II的平面放大图。
参照图1~图11,显示面板1包括弯折区A1和非弯折区A2。支撑件3位于显示面板1的背面,所述支撑件3包括弯折部31和支撑部32。弯折部31被配置为可弯折的支撑弯折区A1,弯折部31的至少一侧包括第一凹槽311。支撑部32被配置为通过第一凹槽311与弯折部31连接,且支撑非弯折区A2,其中,弯折部31的材料与支撑部32的材料密度不同。
相关技术中常见支撑件材料整体为不锈钢,密度约为7.93g/cm-3,密度较大,若加工大尺寸的支撑件,则重量会很沉。
本公开实施例的支撑件通过令弯折部的材料与支撑部的材料密度不同,可以减少整体采用同一种金属材料而导致的重量问题,达到减重的目的。并且令支撑部通过第一凹槽与弯折部连接,可以令两者更加牢固的连接,提高支撑件的耐用性。
示例性地,弯折部31的材料可以包括金属材料,例如不锈钢、钛合金、铜合金等金属合金材料等。支撑部32的材料可以包括碳纤维预浸料或塑料等。
在一些实施例中,弯折部31包括N个开孔312,N个开孔312通过第一开孔工艺得到,使用第一开孔工艺对弯折部31的材料加工N个开孔312的时间小于对支撑部32的材料加工N个开孔312的时间,N大于或等于1。
示例性地,参照图11,每个开孔312贯穿弯折部31,呈细长椭圆形。每 相邻两列的开孔312交错设置,间隔一列的两列开孔312之间对齐设置。本公开实施例无意将N个开孔312限制在如图11的示意图方案,例如开孔312的形状、开孔312之间的排列或者开孔312深度可以灵活设置,例如开孔312可以为菱形、矩形、圆形或多边形等形状,开孔312之间的排列可以按照特定的图案来实现。
如上描述相关技术中支撑件3整体采用不锈钢导致显示装置的重量较大。而碳纤维、塑胶等材料密度较低,若用于支撑件3设计,则可大大降低重量。但如碳纤维材料的图案加工只能使用激光开孔工艺,此种方法效率非常低,尤其将支撑件3用于大尺寸的显示面板1时,不适合用于量产。例如激光开孔工艺只能一个个孔打,效率很低。一片8寸的产品,需20-30分钟,若支撑件3适配于更大尺寸的折叠显示面板1,可能需要一小时以上,不具备量产性。
示例性地,第一开孔工艺包括蚀刻工艺,例如弯折部31的材料包括金属材料,支撑部32的材料包括碳纤维预浸料或塑料。则蚀刻工艺可以快速在弯折部31获得N个开孔312,而可能蚀刻工艺用在碳纤维预浸料上无法获得开孔312,该情况下亦属于使用第一开孔工艺对弯折部31的材料加工N个开孔312的时间小于对支撑部32的材料加工N个开孔312的时间。
一方面,在弯折部31设置N个开孔312,可以进一步减轻支撑件3的重量,还可以减小弯折部31的等效模量,便于弯折。另一方面,通过将不同密度的材料复合,将开孔312加工速度快的材料作为弯折部31的材料,又可提高加工效率。
尤其说明的是,第一开孔工艺还可以包括其他打孔工艺,在实现减重目的以及提高加工效率的前提下,不仅限于如上蚀刻工艺,也不仅限于弯折部31的材料为金属,支撑部32的材料为碳纤维预浸料或塑料。
在一些实施例中,弯折部31的至少一侧沿平行于显示面板1的方向延伸,所述支撑部32包括第一凸起321,第一凸起321与第一凹槽311相适配连接。
参照图9和图10,xy平面平行于显示面板1,则第一方向x和第二方向y皆平行于显示面板1。该实施例中,弯折部31的至少一侧可以包括沿第二方向y延伸的一侧或两侧。
应知的是,虽然图9和图10示出了弯折部31具有相对的两个第一凹槽311,但是也可以仅在沿第二方向y的某一侧设置第一凹槽311。例如仅在图 9所示的左侧设置第一凹槽311,而弯折部31与右侧支撑部3232为一体成型的结构,且材料相同,例如皆为金属材料。
在一些实施例中,第一凹槽311包括朝向显示面板1的直角凹槽,第一凸起321的形状与直角凹槽相吻合。
参照图9和图10,以右侧第一凹槽311为例,其呈“L”形,第一凸起321的形状为长方体,且第一凸起321下方也具有呈第一凹槽311顺时针旋转180度的形状的凹槽,因此可以在连接后如图10所示。在一些实施例中,左右两侧的第一凹槽311可以相同,例如形状、深度和宽度等参数皆相同。在另一些实施例中,左右两侧的第一凹槽311可以不同,例如形状、深度和宽度等至少一个参数有所区别。而第一凸起321的形状则根据所适配连接的第一凹槽311进行适应性调整。
在另一些实施例中,第一凹槽311也可以背离显示面板1,例如图10所示的基础上绕y轴向下翻转180度,当前弯折部31的下端面在翻转后朝向显示面板1,使得与显示面板1的接触面积更大,减小模印。
在另一些实施例中,第一凹槽311可以采用直角凹槽之外的其他形式,例如图9所示的第一凹槽311底部隆起,而相应的第一凸起321的底部凹陷,两者可以相互卡合,能够对x或y方向的力起到抵挡作用。
在一些实施例中,参照图10,弯折部31包括朝向显示面板1的第一平面313,支撑部32包括朝向显示面板1的第二平面322,第一平面313与第二平面322共面。
示例性地,在第一凸起321和第一凹槽311连接后,第一平面313与第二平面322处以同一平面,该情况下共面是指平面度在允许的范围内,例如在2mm以下。从而能够令支撑件3与显示面板1更好的贴合,具有更加的支撑性能。
参照图10,在第一平面313与第二平面322处以同一平面的情况下,弯折部31的厚度可以小于支撑件3的厚度,也可以与支撑件3的厚度相等。
在一些实施例中,参照图9和图10,弯折部31还包括与第一平面313相对的第三平面314,支撑部32还包括与第二平面322相对的第四平面323,第三平面314与第四平面323共面。
示例性地,在第一凸起321和第一凹槽311连接后,第三平面314与第 四平面323处于同一平面,该情况下共面是指平面度在允许的范围内,例如在2mm以下。从而令支撑件3整体的厚度一致,即弯折部31的厚度与支撑件3的厚度相等,避免了支撑件3中间厚度低于两侧时使中间下凹而无支撑,导致模印较深的问题。
在一些实施例中,第一凸起321与第一凹槽311通过热压或粘接相适配连接。下面结合图12和图13进一步描述支撑件3的制作流程。
图12是根据本公开一些示例性实施例的支撑件3的制作方法的流程图。图13是根据本公开另一些示例性实施例的支撑件3的制作方法的流程图。
在操作S1210,提供第一材料形成在至少一侧具有第一凹槽311的弯折部31,弯折部31被配置为可弯折的支撑显示面板1的弯折区A1。
示例性地,弯折部31可以采用金属件,例如钛合金和不锈钢等,加工N个开孔312形成镂空图案区,镂空图案区加工可采用蚀刻的方法,加上掩模版进行化学蚀刻。
在操作S 1220,提供第二材料形成支撑部32,支撑部32被配置为通过第一凹槽311与弯折部31连接,且支撑非弯折区A2,其中,弯折部31的材料与支撑部32的材料密度不同。
示例性地,支撑部32可以采用碳纤维预浸料或塑料。
结合操作S1210和操作S1220举例说明,首先,先将金属件加工完成,采用蚀刻方法,中间Pattern区同步蚀刻完成。接着,进行热压模具制作,由于使用两种材料,金属和碳纤维预浸料在高温高压下热膨胀率不同,模具无法像处理相同材料一样做成两面平整的钢片,需根据实际复合方案图纸,对应不同材料位置做凹凸设计,以匹配不同材料的热膨胀率,达到热压后表面平整的效果,使复合后板材平面度做到2mm以下。接着,对碳纤维预浸料根据支撑件3尺寸进行相应裁剪。接着,清理模具,需将模具内部的杂质、灰尘等进行清理,确保模具表面干净整洁,以防支撑件3表面存在异物等。然后,涂抹离型剂,在模具清理完后,上面涂抹脱模剂,在支撑件3成型后,完成对支撑件3的脱模,避免支撑件3跟模具粘接的情况。然后,铺层碳纤维预浸料形成支撑部32雏形。
接着执行操作S1310和操作S1320,如下。
在操作S1310,将支撑部32和弯折部31置于热压模具中,其中,热压模 具中对应于支撑部32和弯折部31的区域分别具有不同深度,支撑部32包括搭接处。
其中,搭接处即为图9和图10所示的第一凸起321。深度是在z轴方向而言,可以在支撑件3的底部和顶部对应的模具部分皆凹凸设计。
具体而言,进行模具装填,例如先将金属件置于模具中间,然后将碳纤维预浸料按照铺层先后进行填装,确保铺层的平整度。接着进行合模,即将模具通过螺丝固定,确保成型产品尺寸。
在操作S1320,利用热压工艺将搭接处与第一凹槽311连接。
具体而言,进行固化成型,将模具送入到热压机上面,进行压力以及温度的控制,一定时间后,冷却模具。最后,进行脱模,去除模具,将支撑件3取出。
上文描述了将金属件加工完成后采用蚀刻方法令中间Pattern区同步蚀刻完成。在另一些实施例中,首先将金属件外形蚀刻出来,此时先不蚀刻中间pattern,然后将金属件与碳纤维预浸料复合,热压成型得到整体的外形(热压模具同样是凹凸设计)。可以令热压后得到的尺寸大于最终产品,此目的是为了后续产品尺寸的精确切割。然后,将产品的碳纤维部分进行包裹,金属件部分进行pattern蚀刻,以得到中间图案。最后,将碳纤维部分过大的尺寸进行激光切割,以得到最终产品尺寸。该实施例中热压成型后再进行pattern蚀刻的优点在于,pattern可以保持良好的尺寸外形,避免了在热压时变形及树脂流入开孔。
在一些实施例中,为了增加粘接力,可以在模具热压成型前,在搭接处与第一凹槽311之间涂敷一层胶水,且第一凹槽311上表面做粗糙处理,以增加粘接力。例如先将第一凹槽311上表面打磨处理,放置模具中,打磨处涂敷胶水,然后将碳纤维预浸料进行铺层,最后进行模具热压得到成型支撑件3。
在另一些实施例中,可以单独使用粘接的方式,例如在执行操作S1210和操作S1220得到弯折部31和支撑部32之后,在搭接处和第一凹槽311之间的拼接处涂胶,进行粘接。
图14是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的支撑件3的背面图。图15是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的支撑件3沿图14中的线BB’截取的截面 图。图16是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的图14中弯折部31的背面图。其中,为了清楚示意本实施例的结构,图14中的支撑部32进行了点状图案填充。
在一些实施例中,参照图14~图16,第一凹槽311的底部包括M个第二凹槽315,其中每个第二凹槽315被部分支撑部32的材料填充,该部分支撑部32的材料与第一凸起321固定连接,M大于或等于1。
根据本公开的实施例,每个第二凹槽315被部分支撑部32的材料填充增加了弯折部31和支撑部32的结合力,由于支撑部32的部分材料伸入甚至贯穿弯折部31的第二凹槽315,至少起到抵抗x或y方向的力的作用,在多次弯折的过程中令弯折部31和支撑部32不易脱离。
在一些实施例中,M个第二凹槽315包括线槽和/或孔槽。和/或M个第二凹槽315贯穿第一凹槽311的底部。
示例性地,孔槽可以包括圆形、矩形或其他多边形形状的凹陷部。线槽包括呈缝隙或矩形形状的凹陷部,线槽可以由多个连通的孔槽形成。第二凹槽315可以是通槽或盲槽。通槽贯穿第一凹槽311的底部。而盲槽的深度小于第一凹槽311底部的厚度,即未贯穿第一凹槽311的底部。
在一些实施例中,每个第二凹槽315被部分支撑部32的材料填充包括:该部分支撑部32的材料被热压至每个第二凹槽315。
示例性地,参照图14~图16,以及操作S1210和操作S1220,操作S1310和操作S1320。在制作支撑件3时,金属件放入模具后,铺层碳纤维预浸料时,除了两侧大片的碳纤维预浸料,第二凹槽315区域(如第二凹槽315上方和/或内部)也铺层小片碳纤维预浸料。在热压过程中,第二凹槽315区域的树脂融化,填充至第二凹槽315内,且第一凸起321与第一凹槽311的其他部分因为热压而被连接。另外,上述小片碳纤维预浸料在热压前被铺设在第一凸起321区域的下方,在热压后其与第一凸起321固定连接。
在另一些实施例中,每个第二凹槽315被部分支撑部32的材料填充包括:位于第一凸起321上的M个第二凸起一一对应地嵌入M个第二凹槽315内。
示例性地,先在第一凸起321的下方固定连接有M个第二凸起。涂抹胶水后,将每个第二凸起嵌入对应的第二凹槽315。或者,将每个第二凸起嵌入对应的第二凹槽315后进行热压成型。
参照图15,该实施例的弯折部31的厚度可以小于支撑件3的厚度,也可以与支撑件3的厚度相等。
图17(a)~图17(c)分别是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的支撑件3的截面示意图。
在一些实施例中,支撑部32在背离显示面板1的一侧包括第三凹槽,至少部分弯折部31嵌入第三凹槽。参照图17(a)~图17(c),第三凹槽为支撑部32下方被弯折部31填充的凹陷部。
在一些实施例中,支撑部32包括朝向显示面板1的第五平面324,第五平面324位于弯折部31和显示面板1之间。参照图17(a)~图17(c),支撑件3朝向显示面板1的表层为碳纤维预浸料,下面嵌入弯折部31。此种方式可以增加表面平整度,减轻模印。
在一些实施例中,弯折部31的至少一侧包括S个第一凹槽311,其中每个第一凹槽311被部分支撑部32的材料填充,S大于或等于1。
在一些实施例中,每个第一凹槽311被部分支撑部32的材料填充包括:该部分支撑部32的材料被热压至每个第一凹槽311。或第三凹槽内的S个第三凸起一一对应地嵌入S个第一凹槽311内。
参照图17(a),第一凹槽311可以为直角凹槽,该直角凹槽可以是贯穿第一方向x,在单侧仅有一个直角凹槽。或者该直角凹槽可以是多个,沿第一方向x间隔排列。另外,在直角凹槽底部可以包括一个或多个第二凹槽315。每个第一凹槽311和每个第二凹槽315皆被部分支撑部32的材料填充,该实施例的填充可以是被支撑部32上预先成型的凸起嵌入,也可以是如上述铺层碳纤维预浸料被热压后树脂融化而填充。
参照图17(b),除不具有第二凹槽315外,其余与图17(a)一致,在此不做赘述。
参照图17(c),该实施例的第一凹槽311为沿第三方向z形成的凹陷部,其可以为通槽或盲槽。弯折部31的上表面与第三凹槽连接,而第一凹槽311被部分支撑部32的材料填充,例如被S个第三凸起嵌入,或如上述铺层碳纤维预浸料被热压后树脂融化而填充。对于xyz各方向的力皆有抵抗作用。
示例性地,参照图17(a)~图17(c),在制作过程中,可以先将弯折部31放入模具,在逐层铺设碳纤维预浸料,该实施例要在弯折部31上方整体铺 设一层或多层碳纤维预浸料以形成第五平面324。第五平面324与第二平面322的位置相同,参照图10或图15的实施例,第二平面322包括分隔开的两个部分,而第五平面324为一个整体。
参照图17(a)~图17(c),该实施例的弯折部31的第三平面314可以与支撑部32的第四平面323共面,也可以相对于第四平面323向内凹陷。
图18是根据本公开的另一些示例性实施例的支撑件3的背面图。沿图18中的线CC’截取的截面图可以参照图15、图17(a)或图17(c)。
在一些实施例中,如图17(c)所示的弯折部31,第一凹槽311包括铆接孔316,支撑部32被配置为通过第一凹槽311与弯折部31连接包括:通过铆接工艺将支撑部32与弯折部31连接。
在一些实施例中,如图15、图17(a)所示的弯折部31,第一凹槽311的底部包括至少一个铆接孔316,包括:通过铆接工艺将第一凸起321与第一凹槽311相适配连接。
根据本公开的实施例,在x或y方向对支撑部32与弯折部31施加让两者脱离的外力时,可以通过铆钉有效阻挡。
图19是根据本公开的另一些示例性实施例的支撑件3的背面图。图20是根据本公开的另一些示例性实施例的图19中弯折部31的背面图。
在一些实施例中,若支撑部32的材料为塑料,至少一侧包括沿平行于显示面板1的方向延伸的L个第四凸起317,任两个相邻第四凸起317之间形成第一凹槽311,L大于或等于2,其中:至少部分塑料被配置为通过注塑工艺填充至每个第一凹槽311内。
示例性地,若弯折部31为金属件,采用注塑工艺的方式是先将金属件加工好,预先固定在模具中适当的位置,然后再注入塑料成型,开模后金属件被冷却固化的塑料包紧埋在制品内。塑胶材料可选择尼龙玻纤、PC玻纤和PBT等材料。
在一些实施例中,第一凹槽311的沿垂直于第四凸起延伸方向的槽底长度大于槽口长度。例如第四凸起317是如图19和图20所示的正梯形,则第一凹槽311为倒梯形。又例如第四凸起317为“T”字形,“T”的横线朝外,则第一凹槽311为由相邻的两个“T”字形组成具有缺口(即槽口)的矩形。此方案槽底长度大于槽口长度的设计,增加了两材料间的结合力。
参照图19和图20,弯折部31的第一平面313可以与支撑部32的第二平面322共面(如图10和图15),弯折部31的上方也可以为支撑部32的第五平面324(如图17(a)~图17(c))。该实施例的弯折部31的第三平面314可以与支撑部32的第四平面323共面,也可以相对于第四平面323向内凹陷。
图21是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的支撑部的示意图。图22是根据本公开的另一些示例性实施例的支撑部的示意图。图23是根据本公开的另一些示例性实施例的碳纤维铺层示意图。
在一些实施例中,若支撑部32的材料为碳纤维预浸料,支撑部32被配置为由K层碳纤维预浸料铺设而成,K为大于1的奇数。
图21示出了三层碳纤维预浸料得到的支撑部32的示意图,其中第一凸起321的厚度为1.5层的碳纤维预浸料。图22示出了五层碳纤维预浸料得到的支撑部32的示意图,其中第一凸起321的厚度为2.5层的碳纤维预浸料。尤其说明的是,第一凸起321的厚度仅为示例,可以灵活设置。
示例性地,该实施例支撑部的结构是相邻层的纤维方向互相垂直,且整体符合对称原则,因此它的总层数是奇数。如图23所示,各层纤维方向之间角度交错排列,按照0°/90°依次铺层。由于碳纤维为各向异性材料,沿着纤维方向才有力学性能,因此将不同方向的碳纤预浸料铺层在一起,增加其在其他方向的力学性能。在另一些实施例中,还可以按照+45°/-45°的方式依次铺层。
在一些实施例中,任相邻的两层碳纤维预浸料之间的弹性模量可以相同,即碳纤维丝采用相同的型号。以图21所示举例,三层皆使用T700型号的碳纤维丝铺设,则整体弹性模量大约在50-60Gpa。
在另一些实施例中,K层碳纤维预浸料中任相邻的两层碳纤维预浸料之间的弹性模量不同。再以图21所示举例,若三层交错使用T700/M40/T700的碳纤维丝铺设,则整体模量大约在70-150Gpa,可以增加弯折性及支撑件3刚度。
在一些实施例中,参照图1~图16和图18~图23,支撑部32包括:第一支撑部32,位于弯折部31的第一侧,第一支撑部32被配置为通过第一侧的第一凹槽311与弯折部31连接。第二支撑部32,位于弯折部31的第二侧,第二侧与第一侧相对,第二支撑部32被配置为通过第二侧的第一凹槽311与 弯折部31连接。
在一些实施例中,参照图1~图23,弯折部31的材料的密度大于支撑部32的材料的密度。如上文描述的弯折部31的材料采用金属材料,支撑部32的材料采用碳纤维预浸料或塑料。
在一些实施例中,参照图1~图23,弯折部31的材料的弹性模量大于支撑部32的材料的弹性模量。例如在弯折部31的材料采用金属材料时,支撑部32的材料采用碳纤维预浸料,则金属材料的弹性模量大于碳纤维预浸料的弹性模量。举例而言,例如不锈钢的弹性模量在200GPa左右,而上述三层交错使用T700/M40/T700的碳纤维丝铺设,则整体模量大约在70-150Gpa,因此不锈钢的弹性模量大于支撑部整体或单层碳纤维预浸料的弹性模量。
在本公开的另一些实施例中,还提供一种电子设备。电子设备可以是包括显示功能的设备,即包括上述显示装置的设备。例如,电子设备可以是智能电话、移动电话、视频电话、电子书阅读器、台式电脑(PC)、膝上型PC、上网本PC、个人数字助理(PDA)、便携式多媒体播放器(PMP)、数字音频播放器、移动医疗设备、相机、可穿戴设备(例如头戴式设备、电子服饰、电子手环、电子项链、电子配饰、电子纹身、或智能手表)等。
根据本公开实施例的电子设备可以是包括显示功能的智能家用电器。例如,智能家用电器可以是电视、数字视频盘(DVD)播放器、音响、冰箱、空调、吸尘器、烤箱、微波炉、洗衣机、烘干机、空气净化器、机顶盒、电视(TV)盒、游戏机、电子词典、电子钥匙、摄像录像机、电子相框等。
