[0050] The embodiments of the present application disclose an electronic device, which will be described in detail below Figures 1 to 7 The electronic device according to the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail.

[0051] The electronic device according to the embodiments of the present application includes: a transparent cover plate 110 and a flexible display screen 120. The transparent cover plate 110 is of a fixed shape, and the transparent cover plate 110 includes a plate-shaped planar portion 111 and a side wall portion 112, wherein the side wall portion 112 is formed by extending the edge of the planar portion 111 away from the planar portion 111; the side wall portion 112 is of a curved structure, and the side wall portion 112 and the planar portion 111 form an inverted cup-shaped structure. The flexible display screen 120 is attached to the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110, and the display output surface of the flexible display screen 120 faces the transparent cover plate 110. The flexible display screen 120 includes a non-deformation portion 121 and a deformation portion 122; wherein the non-deformation portion 121 is attached to the planar portion 111, and the deformation portion 122 is attached to the side wall portion 112.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the structure of the electronic device is not limited. For example, the electronic device can be a notebook computer, or a game console. As an example, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The electronic device is a mobile phone.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present application, the transparent cover plate 110 is of a fixed shape, that is, the shape of the transparent cover plate 110 will not be deformed.

[0054] Here, the material of the transparent cover plate 110 is not limited. For example, the material of the transparent cover plate 110 can be glass or plastic.

[0055] Here, the structure of the transparent cover plate 110 is not limited, as long as the transparent cover plate 110 includes a plate-shaped planar portion 111 and a sidewall portion 112.

[0056] Here, the planar portion 111 can be a flat plate structure. Of course, the planar portion 111 can also be substantially a flat plate structure; that is, the planar portion 111 can also be a plate-shaped structure with a small curvature.

[0057] Here, the sidewall portion 112 is a curved structure. The sidewall portion 112 can include one annular structure, or can include multiple annular structures. When the sidewall portion 112 includes multiple annular structures, the multiple annular structures are smoothly connected to form the curved sidewall portion 112.

[0058] Here, the sidewall portion 112 extends away from the planar portion 111 at the edge of the planar portion 111, that is, the sidewall portion 112 extends away from the plane on which the planar portion 111 is located at the edge of the planar portion 111.

[0059] Here, the sidewall portion and the planar portion form an undercut structure, and the sidewall portion forms a frame structure of the electronic device, that is, the sidewall portion forms an edge portion of the electronic device, and the end surface of the sidewall portion exceeds the edge portion formed by the sidewall portion.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the flexible display screen 120 is arranged on the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110, and the display output surface of the flexible display screen 120 faces the transparent cover plate 110; that is, the display output surface of the flexible display screen 120 is attached to the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110.

[0061] Here, the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110 refers to the surface of the inner side of the recess structure formed by the planar portion 111 and the sidewall portion 112, for example, as shown in Figure 2 the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110 is the surface of the G side of the transparent cover plate 110.

[0062] Here, the implementation manner of arranging the flexible display screen 120 on the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110 is not limited. For example, the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110 are bonded to form an integrated structure by means of the light-transmitting adhesive 130. Here, the type of the light-transmitting adhesive 130 is not limited, as long as the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110 can be bonded, and the flexible display screen 120 can display through the light-transmitting adhesive 130. As an example, the light-transmitting adhesive 130 can be an optically clear adhesive (OCA).

[0063] Of course, the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110 can also be formed into an integrated structure in other ways.

[0064] Here, the flexible display screen 120 includes a non-deformation portion 121 and a deformation portion 122. The non-deformation portion 121 is attached to the planar portion 111 so that the non-deformation portion 121 can be displayed through the planar portion 111, and the deformation portion 122 is attached to the sidewall portion 112 so that the deformation portion 122 can be displayed through the sidewall portion 112.

[0065] It should be noted that the non-deformation portion 121 does not mean no deformation at all. If the planar portion 111 is a plate-shaped structure with a small curved surface, the non-deformation portion 121 also has a small deformation. Of course, when the planar portion 111 is a flat plate structure, the non-deformation portion 121 is a non-deformation portion.

[0066] Here, the number and arrangement of the sidewall portions 112 are not limited. The number of the sidewall portions 112 can be one or at least two. When the number of the sidewall portions 112 is at least two, the at least two sidewall portions 112 can be arranged on adjacent sides of the planar portion 111, or the at least two sidewall portions 112 can be arranged on opposite sides of the planar portion 111.

[0067] For example, the sidewall portions 112 extend away from the planar portion 111 at the edges of two long sides of the planar portion 111, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 Here, the number of the sidewall portions 112 is two, and the planar portion 111 can be a cuboid structure.

[0068] For another example, the sidewall portions 112 extend away from the planar portion 111 at the edges of two short sides of the planar portion 111. Here, the number of the sidewall portions 112 is two, and the planar portion 111 can be a cuboid structure.

[0069] For another example, the sidewall portions 112 extend away from the planar portion 111 at the edges of two long sides of the planar portion 111, and the sidewall portions 112 also extend away from the planar portion 111 at the edges of two short sides of the planar portion 111. Here, the number of the sidewall portions 112 is four, the planar portion 111 can be a cuboid structure, and the sidewall portions 112 and the planar portion 111 can form a box-shaped structure.

[0070] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the side wall portion 112 includes a first inner surface in the shape of a circular arc; a tangent line of a target point on the first inner surface is perpendicular to the plane portion 111 of the transparent cover plate 110, and the target point is not an end point of the first inner surface.

[0071] In the implementation, the first inner surface is a circular arc surface with the largest distance to the perpendicular plane of the plane portion 111. Here, the perpendicular plane of the plane portion 111 refers to a plane perpendicular to the plane in which the plane portion 111 is located, as shown in FIG. 1C. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1C, the C plane is the perpendicular plane of the plane D in which the plane portion 111 is located.

[0072] It should be noted that the inner side of the side wall portion 112 can include one circular arc surface or multiple circular arc surfaces. When the inner side of the side wall portion 112 includes multiple circular arc surfaces, the multiple circular arc surfaces are smoothly connected.

[0073] Here, the target point is a point with the largest distance to the perpendicular plane of the plane portion 111, as shown in FIG. 1C. Figure 3 and Figure 5 as shown in FIG. 1C.

[0074] Here, the target point is not an end point of the first inner surface, that is, the end point of the first inner surface has already exceeded the target point, and the side wall portion 112 has already exceeded the region with the largest distance to the perpendicular plane of the plane portion 111, so that the side wall portion 112 forms an inner notch structure, and the side wall portion 112 forms an outer frame structure of the electronic device.

[0075] In the implementation, the position of the edge 123 of the deformed portion of the flexible display screen 120 is not limited. Here, the edge 123 of the deformed portion is also referred to as an edge end of the deformed portion.

[0076] For example, the edge 123 of the deformed portion of the flexible display screen 120 can be located at the target point, at this time, the flexible display screen 120 reaches the farthest end of the side wall portion 112, so that the display screen realizes a frameless design in the side wall portion 112, and greatly improves the display area of the electronic device.

[0077] For another example, the edge 123 of the deformed portion of the flexible display screen 120 exceeds the target point, at this time, the flexible display screen 120 exceeds the farthest end of the side wall portion 112, so that the display screen realizes a frameless design in the side wall portion 112, and greatly improves the display area of the electronic device.

[0078] Here, the edge 123 of the deformed portion of the flexible display screen 120 can be flush with the edge of the side wall portion 112 or form a certain distance with the edge of the side wall portion 112, as shown in FIG. 1C. Figure 3 ​

[0079] In the present embodiment, the position of the edge of the side wall portion 112 is not limited as long as the target point is not the end point of the first inner surface.

[0080] For example, a first included angle B is formed between the vertical plane of the planar portion 111 and the end surface of the side wall portion 112, and the value of the first included angle B is greater than 90 degrees, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 3

[0081] Here, the value of the first included angle B is not limited. For example, the first included angle B can range from 140 degrees to 170 degrees, so that the side wall portion 112 wraps most of the side of the electronic device. As an example, the value of the first included angle B is 150 degrees, and the side wall portion 112 completely forms the side frame of the electronic device, as shown in FIG. 3. Figure 7

[0082] For another example, a second included angle H is formed between the plane on which the planar portion 111 is located and the end surface of the side wall portion 112, and the value of the second included angle H is greater than 180 degrees, as shown in FIG. 4. It should be noted that here, the plane D on which the planar portion 111 is located is translated to form a plane D1 for ease of labeling. Figure 4

[0083] Here, the value of the second included angle H is not limited. For example, the second included angle H can range from 230 degrees to 260 degrees, so that the side wall portion 112 wraps most of the side of the electronic device. As an example, the value of the second included angle H is 240 degrees, and the side wall portion 112 completely forms the side frame of the electronic device, as shown in FIG. 5. Figure 7

[0084] In the present embodiment, the number and the setting position of the side wall portion 112 have been described above, and will not be described here.

[0085] As an example, as shown in FIG. 6, the transparent cover plate 110 includes at least two side wall portions 112 located on opposite sides of the planar portion 111, and the edge ends of the at least two side wall portions 112 have a first width E; the target points A of the at least two side wall portions 112 have a second width F; the value of the first width E is less than the value of the second width F, so that the two side wall portions 112 and the planar portion 111 wrap both the front face and the opposite side face of the electronic device, and the front face of the electronic device and the two side wall portions 112 form an integrated structure, as shown in FIG. 7. Figure 5 Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 7, the structure of the electronic device is simplified, and the front face of the electronic device is more neat.

[0086] ​​​​​Here, if the edge 123 of the deformed portion of the flexible display screen 120 exceeds the target point, the electronic device can display without a frame on the two side wall portions 112, greatly increasing the display area of the electronic device.

[0087] Here, the front of the electronic device refers to the face on which the non-deformed portion 121 of the flexible display screen 120 can display.

[0088] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can further include a support 140 and a frame body 160. The support 140 is configured to support the portion of the deformed portion 122 close to the edge end. The frame body 160 is configured to support the non-deformed portion 121 and the portion of the deformed portion 122 away from the edge end.

[0089] In the implementation, the support 140 is fixed on the transparent cover plate 110 at a position corresponding to the edge 123 of the deformed portion of the flexible display screen 120. The support 140 is configured to support the portion of the deformed portion 122 close to the edge end, preventing the transparent cover plate 110 and the portion of the deformed portion 122 close to the edge end from being deformed due to too much stress.

[0090] Here, the support 140 can be in direct contact with the portion of the deformed portion 122 close to the edge end. Of course, a buffer can also be arranged between the support 140 and the portion of the deformed portion 122 close to the edge end.

[0091] Here, the implementation in which the support 140 is fixed on the transparent cover plate 110 is not limited. For example, the support 140 can be fixedly attached to the transparent cover plate 110 by laser glue 150, so that the position of the support 140 can be adjusted during the attachment of the support 140 to the transparent cover plate 110. That is, the support 140 and the transparent cover plate 110 can be initially positioned by the laser glue 150, at this time, the laser glue 150 is in a weakly adhesive state, and the position of the support 140 can be adjusted as needed. After the position between the support 140 and the transparent cover plate 110 is determined, the laser glue 150 is activated, and the support 140 is fixedly attached to the transparent cover plate 110.

[0092] Of course, the support 140 can be fixedly connected to the transparent cover plate 110 by other manners.

[0093] In the present embodiment, the structure of the frame body 160 is not limited, as long as the transparent cover plate 110 with the flexible display screen 120 can be mounted on the frame body 160, and the frame body 160 can support the non-deformation portion 121 and the portion of the deformation portion 122 away from the edge end.

[0094] Here, if the transparent cover plate 110 with the flexible display screen 120 is mounted on the frame body 160, the frame body 160 can abut against the support 140, as shown in Figure 1 so that the portion of the deformation portion 122 close to the edge end and the external force on the transparent cover plate 110 can be transferred to the frame body 160 through the support 140, and the movement of the support 140 can be prevented. Of course, the support 140 can also abut against the frame body 160 through other structures.

[0095] In the present embodiment, the frame body 160 is also used to mount at least one electronic component and a back cover 170.

[0096] Here, the type of the electronic component is not limited. For example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the electronic component can be the electronic component commonly used in the mobile phone, such as a processor and a power supply, etc.

[0097] Here, the structure of the back cover 170 is not limited. For example, the back cover 170 can be a glass cover plate.

[0098] The electronic device in the present embodiment comprises a transparent cover plate 110 including a plate-shaped planar portion 111 and a curved side wall portion 112, and a flexible display screen 120 including a non-deformation portion 121 and a deformation portion 122; wherein the non-deformation portion 121 is attached to the planar portion 111, and the deformation portion 122 is attached to the curved side wall portion 112, and the deformation portion 122 can display on the curved side wall portion 112, so as to reduce the width of the frame of the electronic device, and to realize narrow frame of the electronic device.

[0099] The present embodiment also discloses a jig device, and the flexible display screen 120 of the above embodiment is attached to the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110 by using the jig device; the following will be described in combination with Figures 8 to 12The jig device according to the embodiments of the present application is described in detail.

[0100] The jig device according to the embodiments of the present application comprises an elastic rubber head 210 and a base 220. The elastic rubber head 210 can be deformed based on the pressure in the elastic rubber head 210. The base 220 is fixedly connected with the elastic rubber head 210, and the base 220 is used for supporting the elastic rubber head 210. The outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 is used for attaching a flexible display screen 120. The outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 is attached with the flexible display screen 120, and the position of the flexible display screen 120 corresponds to the transparent cover plate 110. In the state of pressurizing the elastic rubber head 210, the elastic rubber head 210 can drive the flexible display screen 120 to deform and match the shape of the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110 to be attached. In the state of releasing the pressure in the elastic rubber head 210, the elastic rubber head 210 can be deformed to separate from the flexible display screen 120, and the flexible display screen 120 can maintain the attachment with the transparent cover plate 110.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present application, the transparent cover plate 110 is of a fixed shape, and the transparent cover plate 110 comprises a plate-shaped planar portion 111 and a side wall portion 112, the side wall portion 112 is formed by extending the edge of the planar portion 111 away from the planar portion 111. The side wall portion 112 is of a curved structure, and the side wall portion 112 and the planar portion 111 form an inverted buckle structure. The non-deformed portion 121 of the flexible display screen 120 is attached with the planar portion 111, and the deformed portion 122 of the flexible display screen 120 is attached with the side wall portion 112.

[0102] The transparent cover plate 110 and the flexible display screen 120 herein correspond to the transparent cover plate 110 and the flexible display screen 120 in the above-mentioned electronic device embodiments, and the description about the transparent cover plate 110 and the flexible display screen 120 in the above-mentioned electronic device embodiments is also applicable to the transparent cover plate 110 and the flexible display screen 120 herein, which will not be described herein again.

[0103] Here, in the state of releasing the pressure in the elastic rubber head 210, the flexible display screen 120 can maintain the attachment with the transparent cover plate 110, and the implementation manner is not limited. For example, a light-transmitting adhesive 130 can be arranged between the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110, and the flexible display screen 120 is attached with the transparent cover plate 110 through the light-transmitting adhesive 130. The implementation manner of the attachment of the transparent cover plate 110 and the flexible display screen 120 has been described in the above-mentioned electronic device embodiments, which will not be described herein again.

[0104] In the embodiments of the present application, the structure of the base 220 is not limited, as long as the base 220 is fixedly connected with the elastic rubber head 210, and the base 220 can support the elastic rubber head 210. For example, the base 220 can be a plate structure, or a plate structure.

[0105] Here, the implementation manner in which the base 220 is fixedly connected with the elastic rubber head 210 is not limited. For example, the base 220 can be fixedly connected with the elastic rubber head 210 by adhesive. For another example, the base 220 can be fixedly connected with the elastic rubber head 210 by a clamping structure.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present application, the implementation manner in which the flexible display screen 120 is attached to the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 is not limited. For example, the flexible display screen 120 can be attached to the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 by adhesive, and the adhesive has weak adhesion, as long as the flexible display screen 120 is not separated from the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210, so that the elastic rubber head 210 can be quickly separated from the flexible display screen 120 in a state in which the elastic rubber head 210 releases the pressure. For another example, the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 has small roughness, and the outer surface of the flexible display screen 120 also has small roughness, and the flexible display screen 120 is directly adsorbed to the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210.

[0107] Here, the implementation manner in which the elastic rubber head 210 is deformed based on the pressure in the elastic rubber head 210 is not limited.

[0108] For example, the elastic rubber head 210 includes the accommodating cavity 214, and the accommodating cavity 214 is filled with a filling medium. In a state in which the elastic rubber head 210 is extruded by an external force, the pressure of the filling medium in the accommodating cavity 214 increases, and the elastic rubber head 210 is deformed based on the increase of the pressure of the filling medium.

[0109] Here, the filling medium can include a liquid, or can include a gas, or can include a gas and a liquid.

[0110] For another example, the elastic rubber head 210 includes the accommodating cavity 214 and the opening 215. The opening 215 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 214. The filling medium can be filled into the accommodating cavity 214 through the opening 215. The elastic rubber head 210 can be deformed based on the pressure of the filling medium.

[0111] In the present example, the filling medium can be a liquid, or can be a gas. When the filling medium is a liquid, the deformation amount of the elastic rubber head 210 is equivalent to the amount of the filling medium injected into the accommodating cavity 214, so as to facilitate control of the amount of the filling medium injected into the accommodating cavity 214 based on the deformation amount of the elastic rubber head 210, and the operation is more intuitive.

[0112] In the present example, as shown in Figure 8 the base 220 can be fixed on the outer surface of the first wall body 211 forming the accommodating cavity 214, and the base 220 is used to support the first wall body 211 so that the first wall body 211 is not deformed during the deformation of the elastic rubber head 210.

[0113] Of course, the base 220 can also be fixed on a partial region of the outer surface of the first wall body 211, and at this time, the region of the first wall body 211 in contact with the base 220 is not deformed during the deformation of the elastic rubber head 210. The other regions of the first wall body 211 are deformed.

[0114] In the present example, as shown in Figure 8 the outer surface of the second wall body 212 forming the accommodating cavity 214 is used to attach the non-deformation part 121 of the flexible display screen 120; so that the non-deformation part 121 of the flexible display screen 120 can be attached to the planar part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110 along with the deformation of the second wall body 212 during the deformation of the elastic rubber head 210.

[0115] Here, the second wall body 212 is opposite to the first wall body 211.

[0116] In the present example, as shown in Figure 8 the outer surface of the connecting wall body 213 forming the accommodating cavity 214 is used to attach the deformation part 122 of the flexible display screen 120; so that the deformation part 122 of the flexible display screen 120 can be attached to the side wall part 112 of the transparent cover plate 110 along with the deformation of the connecting wall body 213 during the deformation of the elastic rubber head 210.

[0117] Here, the connecting wall body 213 is connected to the first wall body 211 and the second wall body 212 respectively.

[0118] It should be noted that Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 only exemplarily show that the transparent cover plate 110 includes two opposite side wall parts 112, and the flexible display screen 120 includes two opposite deformation parts 122, which do not represent the limitation of the positions and quantities of the side wall parts 112 and the deformation parts 122. For example, the connecting wall body 213 can also be only one, and at this time, the first wall body 211 and the second wall body 212 can be connected through one connecting wall body 213, and can be connected through one supporting wall body, which can abut against the base 220 so that the supporting wall body is not deformed during the deformation of the elastic rubber head 210. Of course, the supporting wall body can also not abut against the base 220, as long as the surface of the supporting wall body is not attached to the flexible display screen 120.

[0119] In the present example, the position of the opening 215 is not limited, for example, as shown in Figure 8 the opening 215 can be arranged on the first wall body 211, at which time the base 220 can also be provided with a through slot corresponding to the opening 215. Of course, the opening 215 can also be arranged on the support wall between the first wall body 211 and the second wall body 212.

[0120] In the present example, in order to prevent the existence of gas between the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110, the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 is attached to the flexible display screen 120, the transparent cover plate 110, and the position corresponding to the flexible display screen 120, and the gradually pressurized state of the accommodating cavity 214; the second wall body 212 can first drive the middle part of the non-deformation part 121 to the connection end of the non-deformation part 121 gradually attached to the planar part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110; the connection wall body 213 then drives the connection end of the deformation part 122 to the edge end of the deformation part 122 gradually attached to the side wall part 112 of the transparent cover plate 110, so as to gradually drive the gas between the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110 from both sides.

[0121] Here, the connection end of the non-deformation part 121 is one end of the non-deformation part 121 connected to the deformation part 122. The connection end of the deformation part 122 is one end of the deformation part 122 connected to the non-deformation part 121.

[0122] Here, the implementation of the flexible display screen 120 gradually attached to the transparent cover plate 110 from the middle to the edge end is not limited.

[0123] Example one, the wall thickness of the connection wall body 213 gradually increases from the first end of the connection wall body 213 to the second end of the connection wall body 213; the first end of the connection wall body 213 is one end of the connection wall body 213 connected to the second wall body 212, the second end of the connection wall body 213 is one end of the connection wall body 213 connected to the first wall body 211, and the thickness of the edge end of the second wall body 212 is the same as the thickness of the first end of the connection wall body 213.

[0124] In example one, the thickness of the second wall body 212 can be the same, and the outer surface of the second wall body 212 can be convex, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, at this time, the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 is attached to the flexible display screen 120, the transparent cover plate 110 and the position corresponding to the flexible display screen 120, and the elastic rubber head 210 can first drive the flexible display screen 120 to move towards the transparent cover plate 110 to contact the middle part of the non-deformation part 121 of the flexible display screen 120 with the flat part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the pressure inside the elastic rubber head 210 is gradually increased, at this time, since the outer surface of the second wall body 212 can be a convex surface, and the thickness of the second wall body 212 is the same, the deformation amount of the second wall body 212 at each position is the same, the non-deformation part 121 of the flexible display screen 120 first contacts the area with a small distance to the flat part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110, and then contacts the area with a large distance, the second wall body 212 can first drive the middle part of the non-deformation part 121 to gradually contact the connecting end of the non-deformation part 121 with the flat part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, since the thickness of the connecting wall body 213 gradually increases from the first end of the connecting wall body 213 to the second end of the connecting wall body 213, and the thickness of the first end of the connecting wall body 213 is the same as the thickness of the edge end of the second wall body 212, the deformation amount of the connecting wall body 213 relative to the second wall body 212 is small, and the deformation amount of the connecting wall body 213 gradually decreases from the first end of the connecting wall body 213 to the second end of the connecting wall body 213; as the pressure inside the elastic rubber head 210 continues to increase, the connecting wall body 213 drives the connecting end of the deformation part 122 to gradually contact the edge end of the deformation part 122 with the side wall part 112 of the transparent cover plate 110, as shown in Figure 12

[0125] Here, the structure for driving the elastic rubber head 210 to move is not limited. For example, the elastic rubber head 210 can be driven to move by a telescopic pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder, and here, the telescopic end of the telescopic pneumatic cylinder or the oil cylinder is fixedly connected with the base 220. For another example, the elastic rubber head 210 can also be driven to move by a driving assembly formed by a worm gear, a worm and a motor, and here, the worm is fixedly connected with the base 220, the worm gear is fixed on the output shaft of the motor, and the worm gear is engaged with the worm.

[0126] ​Of course, the elastic rubber head 210 can also not be controlled to move in a state where the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 is attached to the flexible display screen 120, the transparent cover plate 110, and the position corresponding to the flexible display screen 120. At this time, the distance between the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110 can be set to be small, and the elastic rubber head 210 is directly pressurized to deform the elastic rubber head 210 to drive the flexible display screen 120 to move in the direction of approaching the transparent cover plate 110 to the middle part of the non-deformation part 121 of the flexible display screen 120 being in contact with the flat part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110.

[0127] Here, the distance between the outer surface of the second wall body 212 and the first wall body 211 can gradually decrease from the middle part of the outer surface of the second wall body 212 to the two ends of the outer surface of the second wall body 212, so that the second wall body 212 can first drive the middle part of the non-deformation part 121 to gradually fit the connecting end of the non-deformation part 121 to the flat part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110, and effectively prevent gas from existing between the non-deformation part 121 and the flat part 111.

[0128] Here, the outer surface of the second wall body 212 can be a symmetrical convex surface or an asymmetrical convex surface.

[0129] In Example One, the wall thickness of the second wall body 212 can also gradually increase from the middle part of the second wall body 212 to the edge end of the second wall body 212, so that the deformation amount of the second wall body 212 gradually increases from the middle part of the second wall body 212 to the edge end of the second wall body 212, so that the second wall body 212 can first drive the middle part of the non-deformation part 121 to gradually fit the connecting end of the non-deformation part 121 to the flat part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110.

[0130] Here, the distance between the outer surface of the second wall body 212 and the first wall body 211 from the middle part of the second wall body 212 to the edge end of the second wall body 212 can be equal, that is, the outer surface of the second wall body 212 can be a flat surface.

[0131] Here, the process of fitting the flexible display screen 120 to the transparent cover plate 110 is similar to the process of fitting the flexible display screen 120 to the transparent cover plate 110 in the state that the wall thickness of the second wall body 212 is the same, and will not be described here.

[0132] Of course, in example one, the wall thickness of the second wall body 212 can gradually increase from the middle of the second wall body 212 to the edge end of the second wall body 212, and the outer surface of the second wall body 212 can be convex; so that the second wall body 212 can realize that the non-deformation part 121 can gradually be brought into close contact with the planar part 111 of the transparent cover plate 110 based on the deformation amount and shape.

[0133] The jig device of the embodiment of the present application comprises an elastic rubber head 210 and a base 220; the elastic rubber head 210 can be deformed based on the pressure in the elastic rubber head 210; the base 220 is fixedly connected with the elastic rubber head 210, and the base 220 is used for supporting the elastic rubber head 210; the outer surface of the elastic rubber head 210 is attached to the positions of the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110, and under the condition of pressurizing in the elastic rubber head 210, the elastic rubber head 210 can drive the flexible display screen 120 to deform and match the shape of the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 110 to be in close contact; under the condition of releasing the pressure in the elastic rubber head 210, the elastic rubber head 210 can be deformed to separate from the flexible display screen 120, and the flexible display screen 120 can maintain close contact with the transparent cover plate 110; the flexible display screen 120 and the transparent cover plate 110 can be attached by the deformed elastic rubber head 210.

[0134] The embodiment of the present application also describes a screen attaching method, and the embodiment of the screen attaching method corresponds to the embodiment of the jig device described above, so the operations and features described in the embodiment of the jig device are also applicable to the embodiment of the screen attaching method, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here. The following will be described in combination with Figures 13 to 15 The screen attaching method described in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail.

[0135] As Figure 13 shown, the screen attaching method of the embodiment of the present application comprises:

[0136] Step 301, attaching the flexible display screen to the outer surface of the elastic rubber head of the jig device; wherein the elastic rubber head can be deformed based on the pressure in the elastic rubber head.

[0137] Step 302, placing the transparent cover plate at a position with a first distance from the flexible display screen; wherein the transparent cover plate is of a fixed shape, the transparent cover plate comprises a plate-shaped planar part and a side wall part, the side wall part is formed by extending the edge of the planar part away from the planar part; the side wall part is of a curved structure, and the side wall part and the planar part form a reverse buckling structure.

[0138] In the embodiments of the present application, the value of the first distance is not limited.

[0139] For example, the first distance can be set smaller, and in this case, the flexible display screen can be directly attached to the transparent cover based on the deformation of the elastic rubber head.

[0140] For another example, the first distance can be set larger, such as Figure 14 As shown in the figure, before the flexible display screen is attached to the transparent cover based on the deformation of the elastic rubber head, the method can further include:

[0141] Step 303: Control the elastic rubber head to drive the flexible display screen to move towards the transparent cover to the middle part of the non-deformation part of the flexible display screen being in contact with the planar part of the transparent cover.

[0142] Of course, the method for attaching the screen in the embodiments of the present application can also not include step 303.

[0143] Step 304: Apply pressure to the inside of the elastic rubber head, and the elastic rubber head drives the flexible display screen to deform and match the shape of the inner surface of the transparent cover to be attached.

[0144] In the embodiments of the present application, in order to prevent the existence of gas between the flexible display screen and the transparent cover, such as Figure 15 As shown in the figure, step 304 can include:

[0145] Step 3041: Gradually apply pressure to the inside of the elastic rubber head, and the elastic rubber head first drives the middle part of the non-deformation part to gradually attach to the connecting end of the non-deformation part and the planar part of the transparent cover; and then drives the connecting end of the deformation part to gradually attach to the edge end of the deformation part and the side wall part of the transparent cover.

[0146] Here, the above-described jig device embodiments have described the implementation mode of the flexible display screen gradually attaching to the transparent cover from the middle part of the flexible display screen to the edge end of the flexible display screen, which will not be described here.

[0147] Of course, the person skilled in the art can also set other implementation modes to prevent the existence of gas between the flexible display screen and the transparent cover.

[0148] Step 305: Release the pressure in the elastic rubber head to make the elastic rubber head deform and separate from the flexible display screen, so that the flexible display screen maintains the attachment to the transparent cover; wherein the non-deformation part of the flexible display screen is attached to the planar part, and the deformation part of the flexible display screen is attached to the side wall part.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, when the pressure in the elastic rubber head is released, the elastic rubber head can be deformed, at this time, the volume of the part of the elastic rubber head adjacent to the flexible display screen can be reduced, so that the flexible display screen and the transparent cover plate form the reverse buckling structure as shown in Figure 12 , and the elastic rubber head can be easily taken out from the reverse buckling structure formed by the flexible display screen and the transparent cover plate, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0150] The method for attaching the screen in the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps: attaching the flexible display screen to the outer surface of the elastic rubber head of the jig device; placing the transparent cover plate at a position having a first distance from the flexible display screen; pressurizing in the elastic rubber head, so that the elastic rubber head drives the flexible display screen to deform and match the shape of the inner surface of the transparent cover plate to be attached; releasing the pressure in the elastic rubber head, so that the elastic rubber head is deformed to separate from the flexible display screen, so that the flexible display screen maintains the attachment with the transparent cover plate; thereby, the attachment of the flexible display screen and the transparent cover plate through the elastic rubber head can be realized, and in the operation process, the elastic rubber head will not damage the flexible display screen, and after the pressure in the elastic rubber head is released, the elastic rubber head is deformed to easily separate from the flexible display screen.

[0151] The above is only the specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
