Abstract
The present disclosure provides a foldable support, fabricating method thereof, and a display device. The foldable support includes a metal layer having a non-bending region and at least one bending region, where the metal layer includes a plurality of recessed portions at the at least one bending region, and at least one of sidewalls of the plurality of recessed portions is not perpendicular to a plane where the metal layer is located.
Claims16
A foldable support, comprising:
- a metal layer having a non-bending region and at least one bending region, wherein:
- the metal layer comprises a plurality of recessed portions at the at least one bending region;
- at least one of sidewalls of the plurality of recessed portions is not perpendicular to a plane where the metal layer is located, the metal layer comprises a first surface and a second surface, the first surface is configured to be disposed near a flexible display panel to provide a flat support function for the flexible display panel, the second surface is disposed away from the flexible display panel, and an included angle between the sidewalls of the recessed portions and the first surface is a rounded corner;
- and
- the flexible display panel has a non-bending region and at least one bending region, wherein an orthographic projection of the at least one bending region of the flexible display panel on the metal layer is within the range of an orthographic projection of the bending region of the metal layer on the metal layer, and a thickness of the metal layer is 0.015-0.05 mm.

A display device, comprising:
- a flexible display panel and a foldable support, the foldable support comprising a metal layer having a non-bending region and at least one bending region, wherein:
- the metal layer comprises a plurality of recessed portions at the at least one bending region;
- at least one of sidewalls of the plurality of recessed portions is not perpendicular to a plane where the metal layer is located;
- the foldable support is located on a side facing away from the display surface of the flexible display panel;
- and
- the metal layer comprises a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being disposed near the flexible display panel, and the second surface being disposed away from the flexible display panel, and an included angle between the sidewalls of the recessed portions and the first surface being a rounded corner;
- and
- the flexible display panel has a non-bending region and at least one bending region, wherein an orthographic projection of the at least one bending region of the flexible display panel on the metal layer is within the range of an orthographic projection of the bending region of the metal layer on the metal layer, and a thickness of the metal layer is 0.015-0.05 mm.
