Abstract

The invention provides a flexible OLED display device that includes an upper module having a cover window film, a lower module, and a display module between the upper and lower modules. The display module includes an OLED and an OLED substrate. The stiffnesses of components in the display device are controlled to satisfy a particular relationship such that the bending stiffnesses of the upper andlower modules are tuned in order to position the neutral bending plane below the display module, which places the display into a state of compressive strain as opposed to zero strain. This design is suitable for a bifold flexible display in which the upper module can be folded to face itself.

Description

Background technique [0001] Displays and electronic devices have evolved to bend, bend or fold and provide new user experiences. For example, these device architectures may include flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), plastic liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and the like. [0002] A typical electronic display includes a lower module, a display module, and an upper module. The lower module may contain cooling fins and cushioning material. The upper module may contain a touch sensor, an ambient light suppression layer such as a circular polarizer, and often a protective film or cover. These three parts are often bonded together using adhesives. When the bonded construct flexes, strain develops throughout the structure. Strain is non-uniform in thickness and depends on the design of the display in a complex manner. If the strain exceeds a critical threshold in the display module, the display module will fail mechanically, resulting in display defects, general failu...
