Abstract
There is provided a flexible display having a plurality of innovations configured to allow bending of a portion or portions to reduce apparent border size and/or utilize the side surface of an assembled flexible display.
Claims15
A display apparatus, comprising:
- a base layer having a bend allowance section between a first portion and a second portion of the display apparatus;
- a plurality of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) elements disposed on the first portion of the base layer;
- an encapsulation over the OLED elements;
- a printed circuit film attached to the second portion of the base layer;
- and
- a micro-coating layer disposed over the bend allowance section of the base layer.
3 more elements
A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, comprising:
- forming a buffer layer on a base layer;
- forming a conductive line traces with a strain-reducing pattern in an inactive are of the base layer;
- chamfering the base layer to create a notched inactive area having a bend allowance section;
- etching the buffer layer to expose the base layer along strain-reducing pattern of the conductive line trace and along the notched line;
- dispensing a micro-coating layer in the notched inactive area;
- and
- curing the micro-coating layer.
