[0045] The auxiliary functional layer 130 is arranged in contact with the back plate layer 120, the back plate layer 120 is arranged in contact with the flexible substrate 111 of the display panel 110 away from the display layer 112, in the laser stripping process, the laser is irradiated on the side of the auxiliary functional layer 130 away from the display layer 112, and the auxiliary functional layer 130, the back plate layer 120 and the display panel 110 are separated from the substrate 150 as a whole, so that the back plate layer 120 can provide protection and support for the display layer 112 of the display panel 110, and the auxiliary functional layer 130 can isolate the laser heat, thereby preventing the display layer 112 from being damaged in the laser stripping process.

[0046] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in combination with specific embodiments.

[0047] In the embodiment, the display panel 110 is a flexible display panel 110, such as an OLED panel, a Mini-LED panel, a Micro-LED panel, etc.

[0048] In the embodiment, the material of the flexible substrate 111 includes polyimide, polycarbonate, polyether sulfone, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyarylate, or glass fiber reinforced plastic.

[0049] In the embodiment, the back plate layer 120 is arranged in contact with the flexible substrate 111, the back plate layer 120 has flexibility and can be bent, and also has a certain rigidity, so as to provide support for the display panel 110, and the material of the back plate layer 120 includes organic glass PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate).

[0050] In the embodiment, the auxiliary functional layer 130 is arranged in contact with the back plate layer 120, the auxiliary functional layer 130 can further enhance the support capacity of the back plate layer 120. Meanwhile, the auxiliary functional layer 130 has heat insulation capacity, in the LLO process, the auxiliary functional layer 130 can insulate heat, and protect the back plate layer 120 and the film layer above the back plate layer 120 from the influence of heat. The material of the auxiliary functional layer 130 includes silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, etc.

[0051] In the display module of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 , the flexible substrate 111 includes a flexible layer 1111 and an inorganic layer 1112 arranged in layers, and the back plate layer 120 is arranged in contact with the flexible layer 1111.

[0052] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The flexible substrate 111 includes a flexible layer 1111 and an inorganic layer 1112 stacked together, the flexible layer 1111 includes polyimide or the like, and the inorganic layer 1112 includes silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride or the like.

[0053] In this embodiment, the flexible layer 1111 is an organic material including polyimide or the like, and the back plate layer 120 is an organic material including organic glass or the like, and the two have good affinity and can be closely attached.

[0054] In this embodiment, the back plate layer 120 is arranged in contact with the flexible layer 1111, and the display layer 112 is located on the side of the inorganic layer 1112 away from the flexible layer 1111.

[0055] In this embodiment, the back plate layer 120 can be made by a film forming process such as coating, deposition or the like, which is not limited in the present application. In the prior art, the back plate layer 120 is usually attached to the side of the display layer 112 away from the light emitting surface after the display layer 112 is laser peeled from the substrate 150. During laser peeling, since the flexible substrate 111 of the display layer 112 and the substrate 150 only include a thin heat insulation layer, and the laser energy is uneven or there are foreign matters on the substrate 150, etc., the local area cannot uniformly receive the laser energy, and forced tearing during peeling can cause the film layer of the display layer 112 to separate or be damaged. At the same time, when the back plate layer 120 is attached to the display layer 112, various attachment defects can easily occur in the attachment process, for example, there are bubbles, warping, dirt, etc. after the back plate layer 120 is attached, resulting in yield loss. By directly making the back plate layer 120 on the side of the display layer 112 away from the light emitting surface by a film forming process, the above problems can be avoided.

[0056] In this embodiment, the flexible substrate 111 is arranged to include a flexible layer 1111 and an inorganic layer 1112, the flexible layer 1111 can have good affinity with the back plate layer 120, and prevent the flexible layer 1111 from separating from the back plate layer 120 during bending.

Referring to Figure 3 The case of partial connection includes thinning the thickness of the back plate layer 120 in the bending area CC. The case of partial connection can also include forming a pattern on the back plate layer 120 in the bending area CC, including forming a through hole or a half-through hole pattern.

For example, referring to Figure 6 The bending area CC can be located at the position of the non-display area of the display module, so as to realize static bending, and the bending state is as shown in Figure 5 Referring to Figure 7 The bending area CC can be located at the display area of the display module, so as to realize dynamic bending, that is, to realize the folding screen function, wherein Figure 7 is the flat state of the display module. The effect of dynamic bending is similar to Figure 5 , and the bending direction includes inward folding and outward folding, which is not shown in the application.

[0062] In the embodiment, the black material is the residue formed after the back plate layer 120 is laser etched. Since the back plate layer 120 is an organic material, the organic material is carbonized under the action of high temperature in the laser etching process, and black substances are generated.

[0063] In the embodiment, the first back plate 121 and the second back plate 122 are arranged separately, that is, a groove is formed in the bending area CC between the first back plate 121 and the second back plate 122. In the bending area CC, by arranging the groove, the thickness of the film layer of the display module can be reduced, the internal stress of the film layer in the bending process can be reduced, and the bending of the display module can be better realized.

[0066] In the display module of the present application, referring to Figure 4 , the thickness of the flexible substrate 111 in the bending area CC is less than the thickness of the flexible substrate 111 corresponding to any one of the first area AA or the second area BB.

[0067] In the present embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the thickness of the flexible substrate 111 in the bending area CC is different from the thickness of any one of the first area AA or the second area BB. Through the above arrangement, the present embodiment can further reduce the thickness of the bending area CC to prevent excessive stress in the bending process of the display module, thereby realizing better bending of the display module.
