Abstract
The present disclosure relates to display panels and manufacturing methods thereof. The display panel includes a flexible screen including a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area includes a bending area and an extending area, two ends of the bending area are respectively connected to the display area and the extending area. The extending area and the display area are not coplanar. The display panel further includes an attaching layer having at least one flexible film layer formed on the display area of the flexible screen. The attaching layer extends beyond the display area and covers and supports the bending area and/or the extending area.
Claims15
A display panel, comprising:
- a flexible screen comprising a display area and a non-display area, the non-display area comprising a bending area and an extending area, and the extending area and the display area being not coplanar;
- an attaching layer formed on the display area, the attaching layer extending beyond the display area and covering and supporting the bending area;
- and
- a support layer configured to support the display area and/or the extending area, the support layer being configured as a multi-layer structure, comprising:
- a first support film coupled to the display area;
- and
- a second support film coupled to the extending area by adhesive or physical methods,
- wherein the support layer comprises a padding block having hardness and elasticity and located between the display area and the extending area, wherein the padding block comprises silica gel.
A method for manufacturing a display panel, comprising:
- providing a flexible screen, the flexible screen comprising a display area and a non-display area;
- providing an attaching layer to attach the flexible screen to the attaching layer, the attaching layer comprising at least one flexible film layer formed on a display area of the flexible screen, the attaching layer extending beyond the display area and covering and supporting the non-display area;
- folding the flexible screen, forming the non-display area of the flexible screen into a bending area and an extending area, wherein two ends of the bending area are connected to the display area and the extending area, respectively, and the extending area and the display area are not coplanar;
- and
- fixing the extending area of the flexible screen to a rear side of the flexible screen via a support layer, wherein the support layer being coupled to the display area and/or the extending area.
A display panel, comprising:
- a flexible screen comprising a display area and a non-display area, the non-display area comprising a bending area and an extending area, and the extending area and the display area being not coplanar;
- an attaching layer formed on the display area, the attaching layer extending beyond the display area and covering and supporting the bending area;
- and
- a support layer configured to support the display area and/or the extending area, the support layer being coupled to the display area and/or the extending area, comprising:
- a padding block having hardness and elasticity and located between the display area and the extending area, the padding block comprising silica gel.
