[0031] The following descriptions of the embodiments are with reference to the attached diagrams to illustrate specific embodiments that the present application can be implemented in. The directional terms mentioned in the present application, such as [up], [down], [front], [back], [left], [right], [inside], [outside], [side], etc., are only with reference to the directions of the attached drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to illustrate and understand the present application, rather than to limit the present application. In the figures, units with similar structures are represented by the same reference numerals. In the accompanying drawings, the thickness of some layers and regions is exaggerated for clear understanding and ease of description. That is, the size and thickness of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrarily shown, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a planar structure of a curved display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The curved display device 100 includes two first edges 1 arranged opposite to each other in a first direction X, and two second edges 2 arranged opposite to each other in a second direction Y, wherein the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. The first edges 1 and the second edges 2 are arranged end to end, that is, each of the first edges 1 is connected between two of the second edges 2, and each of the second edges 2 is connected between two of the first edges 1, and the two first edges 1 and the two second edges 2 are connected end to end in sequence to form the outer contour of the curved display device 100. Wherein, the first edge 1 and the second edge 2 are both curves, so that the edge areas of the curved display device 100 are all curved surfaces, and the bending directions of the first edge 1 and the second edge 2 are toward the back side of the curved display device 100.

[0033] In the first direction X, the curved display device 100 includes a first middle area MD1 and first peripheral areas SD1 located on both sides of the first middle area MD1. The curvature of the first middle area MD1 is smaller than the curvature of the first peripheral area SD1. The first side 1 is located at the edge of the first peripheral area SD1. Optionally, the two first peripheral areas SD1 are symmetrically arranged about the first middle area MD1. In this case, the curvatures of the two first peripheral areas SD1 are the same, for example, the curvature of the first middle area MD1 is R1500-R1350, and the curvature of the first peripheral area SD1 is R1350-R1000. Among them, the curvature of the first middle area MD1 and the curvature of the first peripheral area SD1 refer to the average values ​​of the curvatures at various locations on the first middle area MD1 and the first peripheral area SD1, respectively. In addition, the curvature value of the example in this embodiment refers to the curvature corresponding to the curve with the value as the curvature radius. The smaller the value, the greater the corresponding curvature, and the corresponding degree of curvature is also greater. For example, the curvature R1500 of the first middle area MD1 refers to the curvature corresponding to a curve with a curvature radius of 1500 mm.

[0034] In the second direction Y, the curved display device 100 includes a second middle area MD2 and second peripheral areas SD2 located on both sides of the second middle area MD2; the curvature of the second middle area MD2 is smaller than the curvature of the second peripheral area SD2; the second side 2 is located at the edge of the second peripheral area SD2. Optionally, the two second peripheral areas SD2 are symmetrically arranged about the second middle area MD2. In this case, the curvatures of the two second peripheral areas SD2 are the same, for example, the curvature of the second middle area MD2 is R3000-R2200, and the curvature of the second peripheral area SD2 is R2200-R600. Among them, the curvature of the second middle area MD2 and the curvature of the second peripheral area SD2 refer to the average value of the curvatures at various locations on the second middle area MD2 and the second peripheral area SD2, respectively. In addition, the "curvature of some areas" described in the following text refers to the average value of the curvatures at various locations in the area, and will not be explained one by one later.

[0035] In this way, the curvature of the central area of ​​the curved display device 100 can be made smaller than the curvature of the surrounding areas to form a curved display device 100 similar to a "dome". The dome design has a wide 3D space visual effect, which can effectively relieve visual fatigue, thereby reducing viewing angle fatigue during viewing.

[0036] In one embodiment, the curved display device 100 includes four corner regions, and the curvatures of the four corner regions are the same, so that the same viewing effect can be achieved at different viewing angles, thereby further reducing viewing fatigue during viewing. The corner region of the curved display device 100 refers to the region where the adjacent first side 1 and second side 2 are connected.

[0037] In one embodiment, the curvature of the curved display device 100 gradually increases as it moves away from the first middle area MD1, and gradually increases as it moves away from the second middle area MD2. In other words, the curvature of the curved display device 100 gradually increases from the center to the periphery, so that the curvature of the curved display device 100 changes evenly, which better reduces viewing fatigue during viewing.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , the first middle region MD1 has a first center line 3, the first center line 3 is arranged opposite to the first side 1 and passes through the midpoints of the two second sides 2, the curvature of the first center line 3 is smaller than the curvature of the first side 1, and the extension direction of the first center line 3 is the same as the extension direction of the first side 1. The curvature of the first center line 3 refers to the average value of the curvatures of each point on the first center line 3, and correspondingly, the curvature of the first side 1 refers to the average value of the curvatures of each point on the first side 1. In addition, the "curvatures of some lines or sides" described in the following text all refer to the average value of the curvatures of each point on the line or side, which will not be explained one by one in the following.

[0039] Furthermore, the second middle area MD2 has a second center line 4, which is arranged opposite to the second edge 2 and passes through the midpoints of the two first edges 1. The curvature of the second center line 4 is smaller than the curvature of the second edge 2, and the extension direction of the second center line 4 is the same as the extension direction of the second edge 2. In this way, the curvature of the central area of ​​the curved display device 100 can be smaller than the curvature of the surrounding area, so as to form a curved display device 100 similar to a "dome", and the dome design has a wide 3D space visual effect, which can effectively relieve visual fatigue, thereby reducing viewing fatigue during viewing.

[0040] It should be noted that the first center line 3 refers to the line connecting the midpoints of multiple curves on the display surface of the curved display device 100 that are parallel to the second side 2. The display surface of the curved display device 100 refers to the surface of one side of the curved display device 100 that displays the screen, that is, the surface of the light-emitting side of the curved display device 100, that is, the surface of the side of the curved display device 100 facing the viewer. The back side of the curved display device 100 refers to the side away from the display surface. The first center line 3 also passes through the midpoint of the second side 2, and the first center line 3 divides the display surface of the curved display device 100 into two substantially identical parts. Correspondingly, the second center line 4 refers to the line connecting the midpoints of multiple curves on the display surface of the curved display device 100 that are parallel to the first side 1, and the second center line 4 also passes through the midpoint of the first side 1, and the second center line 4 divides the display surface of the curved display device 100 into two substantially identical parts.

[0041] Optionally, the length of the first side 1 is greater than the length of the second side 2, that is, the first side 1 is the long side of the curved display device 100, and the second side 2 is the short side of the curved display device 100. The curvature of the first side 1 is different from the curvature of the second side 2, for example, the curvature of the first side 1 is smaller than the curvature of the second side 2, so that the curvature of the area where the long side of the curved display device 100 is located is smaller than the curvature of the area where the short side of the curved display device 100 is located, so as to further reduce the visual fatigue during viewing.

[0042] Furthermore, the curvature of the first center line 3 is greater than the curvature of the second center line 4, so that the degree of curvature of the curved display device 100 in the extension direction of the first edge 1 is greater than the degree of curvature of the curved display device 100 in the extension direction of the second edge 2, so as to further reduce viewing fatigue during viewing.

[0043] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 2 This is another schematic diagram of the planar structure of the curved display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 for Figure 2A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure along the M-M' direction in FIG. Different from the above-mentioned embodiment, the curved display device 100 includes at least two sub-display screens 10 spliced ​​to each other, each of the sub-display screens 10 includes two first sub-edges 11 arranged opposite to each other in the first direction X, and two second sub-edges 12 arranged opposite to each other in the second direction Y, the first sub-edges 11 and the second sub-edges 12 are arranged end to end, the first sub-edges 11 and the second sub-edges 12 are both curves, and the bending directions of the first sub-edges 11 and the second sub-edges 12 are toward the back side of the curved display device 100. The extension direction of the first sub-edge 11 is the same as the extension direction of the first edge 1, the extension direction of the second sub-edge 12 is the same as the extension direction of the second edge 2, and the curvature of the first sub-edge 11 is different from the curvature of the second sub-edge 12.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the curved display device 100 includes two sub-display screens 10 that are spliced ​​with each other. Each sub-display screen 10 includes two first sub-edges 11 that are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction X, and two second sub-edges 12 that are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction Y. Each first sub-edge 11 is connected between two second sub-edges 12, and each second sub-edge 12 is connected between two first sub-edges 11. The two first sub-edges 11 and the two second sub-edges 12 are connected end to end in sequence to form the outer contour of the sub-display screen 10. The two opposite second sub-edges 12 in the two sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​with each other, and the two second sub-edges 12 that are not spliced ​​are the second side 2 of the curved display device 100. Every two adjacent first sub-edges 11 constitute the first side 1 of the curved display device 100. The curvature of the first sub-edge 11 is the same as that of the first side 1, and the curvature of the second sub-edge 12 is the same as that of the second side 2.

[0045] In one embodiment, each of the sub-display screens 10 further includes a display area AA and a splicing area PA located on one side of the display area AA, and the splicing areas PA of two adjacent sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​together, and the two spliced ​​splicing areas PA overlap up and down to reduce the splicing seam of the curved display device 100. That is, the two spliced ​​sub-display screens 10 adopt an overlapping design, so that the splicing area PA of one sub-display screen 10 covers the splicing area PA of another sub-display screen 10, so that the two splicing areas PA overlap up and down, thereby reducing the position occupied by the splicing area PA, thereby reducing the splicing seam. For example Figure 2The stitching area PA of the right sub-display screen 10 is shown to cover the stitching area PA of the left sub-display screen 10, and the second sub-edge 12 of the left sub-display screen 10 is covered by the right sub-display screen 10, so the second sub-edge 12 of the left sub-display screen 10 participating in the stitching is indicated by a dotted line. The area between the two second sub-edges 12 participating in the mutual splicing is the stitching area PA, and the second center line 4 is located in the middle of the stitching area PA.

[0046] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 Each of the sub-display screens 10 further includes a flexible light-emitting substrate 13, a polarizer 14 disposed on the light-emitting side of the flexible light-emitting substrate 13, and a backplane 15 and an auxiliary support layer 16 disposed on the side of the flexible light-emitting substrate 13 away from the polarizer 14.

[0047] The flexible light-emitting substrate 13 includes one of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) substrate and a micro light emitting diode (Mini / Micro Light Emitting Diode, Mini / -LED / MicroLED, collectively referred to as MLED) substrate. In this embodiment, the curved display device 100 is taken as an organic light emitting diode substrate as an example, and the flexible light-emitting substrate 13 may include a substrate, a driving circuit layer arranged on one side of the substrate, a light-emitting functional layer arranged on a side of the driving circuit layer away from the substrate, and an encapsulation layer arranged on a side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the driving circuit layer. It should be noted that, regarding the specific structure of the flexible light-emitting substrate 13, this embodiment is only an example, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0048] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 4 This is another schematic diagram of a planar structure of a curved display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 for Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the planar structure of the curved display device before bending. Different from the above embodiment, the number of the sub-display screens 10 is 6, and in the extension direction of the first side 1, three of the sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​in sequence; in the extension direction of the second side 2, two of the sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​in sequence.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 , the curved display device 100 includes 6 sub-display screens 10, and each two adjacent sub-display screens 10 of the 6 sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​together. In the extension direction of the first side 1, the three sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​in sequence, wherein the two opposite second sub-sides 12 of two adjacent sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​together, and the first sub-sides 11 of the three sub-display screens 10 constitute the first side 1 of the curved display device 100, and the area of ​​the first sub-side 11 of each sub-display screen 10 is equal to the curvature of the first side 1.

It should be noted that the curvature value of the example in this embodiment refers to the curvature corresponding to the curve with the value as the curvature radius. The smaller the value, the greater the corresponding curvature, and the corresponding degree of bending is also greater. For example, the curvature R1000 of the first side 1 refers to the curvature corresponding to a curve with a curvature radius of 1000 mm, and correspondingly, the curvature R600 of the second side 2 refers to the curvature corresponding to a curve with a curvature radius of 600 mm, the curvature R3000 of the second center line 4 refers to the curvature corresponding to a curve with a curvature radius of 3000 mm, and the curvature R3000 of the second center line 4 refers to the curvature corresponding to a curve with a curvature radius of 1000 mm.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 Each of the sub-display screens 10 further includes a display area AA and a splicing area PA located on one side of the display area AA. The splicing areas PA of two adjacent sub-display screens 10 are spliced ​​together, and the two spliced ​​splicing areas PA overlap each other. In the extension direction of the first side 1, among the three sub-display screens 10 spliced ​​in sequence, the splicing area PA of the middle sub-display screen 10 covers the splicing areas PA of the sub-display screens 10 on both sides.

[0052] Specifically, for ease of description, this embodiment defines six sub-display screens 10 as a first sub-display screen 10-1, a second sub-display screen 10-2, a third sub-display screen 10-3, a fourth sub-display screen 10-4, a fifth sub-display screen 10-5, and a sixth sub-display screen 10-6.
