Abstract
A novel display panel that is highly convenient or reliable is provided. The display panel includes a first region and a second region. The second region is provided with a first component, and the second region can be bent with the first component facing outward. The first component includes a first elastic body and a second elastic body. The second elastic body includes an end portion part or the whole of which is covered with the first elastic body. The second elastic body has a higher elastic modulus than the first elastic body.
Claims18
A display panel comprising:
- a first region, a second region, and a display region,
- wherein the first region comprises part of the display region,
- wherein the second region comprises another part of the display region,
- wherein the second region is provided with a first component,
- wherein the second region is capable of being bent with the first component facing outward,
- wherein the first component comprises a first elastic body and a second elastic body,
- wherein the second elastic body has a higher elastic modulus than the first elastic body,
- wherein the second elastic body has a top surface in contact with the display region, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and side surfaces between the top and bottom surfaces, and
- wherein the side surfaces of the second elastic body are in contact with the first elastic body both when the second region is bent and when the second region is not bent.
A display panel comprising:
- a first region, a second region, and a display region,
- wherein the first region comprises part of the display region,
- wherein the second region comprises another part of the display region,
- wherein the second region is provided with a first component,
- wherein the second region is capable of being bent with the first component facing outward,
- wherein the first component comprises a first elastic body and a second elastic body,
- wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body protrude outward from the second region in a direction away from the display region both when the second region is bent and when the second region is not bent, and
- wherein the second elastic body has a higher elastic modulus than the first elastic body.
A display panel comprising:
- a first region, a second region, and a display region,
- wherein the first region comprises part of the display region,
- wherein the second region comprises another part of the display region,
- wherein the second region is provided with a first component,
- wherein the second region is capable of being bent with the first component facing outward,
- wherein the first component comprises a first elastic body and a second elastic body,
- wherein the second elastic body is a single protrusion extending outward from the second region in a direction away from the display region,
- wherein the single protrusion of the second elastic body is covered with the first elastic body, and
- wherein the second elastic body has a higher elastic modulus than the first elastic body.
