Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] In recent years, the intelligent level of vehicles has been further developed and improved, and the degree of combination of plastics and electricity in vehicle interiors has gradually increased. There has also emerged a design of integrating a liquid crystal display panel into the armrest of the passenger-side instrument panel. However, traditional armrests of instrument panels generally only have basic functions such as leaning and storage, and the integration of electrical components is low. How to further improve the intelligence of vehicles to meet the entertainment needs of customers is a problem that needs to be considered currently.

[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides an armrest box 11. The armrest box 11 includes a box body 100 and a box cover 200. An accommodation space is formed inside the box body 100. The box cover 200 is buckled on the box body 100. The box cover 200 includes a support skeleton 210 and a flexible display screen 220. The support skeleton 210 includes a top surface 211 and side surfaces 212 adjacent to the top surface 211. The top surface 211 is curved, and the periphery of the top surface 211 intersects with a plurality of side surfaces 212. The flexible display screen 220 covers the curved surface, and the flexible display screen 220 covers a part of the plurality of side surfaces 212. The flexible display screen 220 includes a display panel, and the display panel includes a flexible substrate, a driving circuit layer, and an organic light-emitting functional layer.

[0036] According to the armrest box 11 in the embodiments of the present application, the accommodation space jointly defined by the box body 100 and the box cover 200 of the armrest box 11 can be used for storing items. The box cover 200 may include a support skeleton 210 and a flexible display screen 220. The support skeleton 210 is the main structure of the box cover 200 and can play a supporting role. The display panel in the flexible display screen 220 includes a flexible substrate 310, a driving circuit layer, and an organic light-emitting functional layer. Among them, the flexible substrate 310 may be a polymer substrate, such as PI (Polyimide), etc. Since the polymer substrate is thin, light, strong, and has excellent flexibility, it can be used to manufacture the flexible display screen 220. Thus, when the top surface 211 of the support skeleton 210 is curved, the flexible display screen 220 can be well attached to the support skeleton 210. In addition, the flexible display screen 220 covers both the top surface 211 and a part of the side surface 212 of the support skeleton 210, so that the flexible display screen 220 is also provided at the top and edge of the box cover 200, thereby increasing the display effect of the armrest box 11 and improving the quality of the armrest box 11. Moreover, the armrest box 11 with a curved top surface not only has a beautiful arc, but also has a good touch when the user leans on the armrest box 11, increasing the comfort of the user. The flexible display screen 220 of the armrest box 11 further includes a control circuit. The user can use the flexible display screen 220 on the armrest box 11 for entertainment or for vehicle-mounted interaction. Thus, the intelligent level of the vehicle 10 can be improved to meet the entertainment needs of customers.

[0037] As Figure 8 shown, in some specific embodiments, the flexible display screen 220 is an OLED display screen. The display panel 300 may include a flexible substrate 310, a driving circuit layer, and an organic light-emitting functional layer. Among them, the flexible substrate 310 may be a flexible substrate to improve the flexibility of the display panel 300, so that the display panel 300 can have properties such as bendability and foldability, facilitating the expansion of the application range of the display panel 300. The driving circuit layer may be formed on the flexible substrate 310. Specifically, the part of the driving circuit layer located in the display area may include thin-film transistors.

[0038] The thin film transistor may be a top-gate type. This thin film transistor may include an active layer 322, a first gate insulating layer 323, a gate electrode 324, a second gate insulating layer 326, an interlayer dielectric layer 321, a source electrode 325, and a drain electrode 327. Specifically, the active layer 322 may be formed on the flexible substrate 310. The first gate insulating layer 323 covers the flexible substrate 310 and the active layer 322. The gate electrode 324 is formed on a side of the first gate insulating layer 323 facing away from the active layer 322. The second gate insulating layer 326 covers the gate electrode 324 and the first gate insulating layer 323. The interlayer dielectric layer 321 covers the second gate insulating layer 326. The source electrode 325 and the drain electrode 327 are formed on a side of the interlayer dielectric layer 321 facing away from the flexible substrate and are respectively located on opposite sides of the gate electrode 324. The source electrode 325 and the drain electrode 327 may respectively contact opposite sides of the active layer 322 through vias (e.g., metal vias). It should be understood that this thin film transistor may also be a bottom-gate type.

[0039] The display device is located in the display area. The display device may include a first electrode 331 and a pixel defining part 340 formed in sequence on the interlayer dielectric layer 321. It should be understood that the display device may further include a light-emitting part 332 and a second electrode 333.

[0040] The display panel 300 may further include a planarization portion 350 located in the display area, and the planarization portion 350 is formed between the interlayer dielectric layer 321 and the first electrode 331. Among them, the first electrode 331 can be electrically connected to the drain 327 through a metal via, and the first electrode 331 can be an anode, and this anode can be made of materials such as ITO (indium tin oxide), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), etc.; the pixel defining portion 340 can cover the planarization portion 350, and this pixel defining portion 340 can be made of an organic material, for example: organic materials such as photoresist, and the portion of the pixel defining portion 340 located in the display area can have a pixel opening exposing the first electrode 331; the light emitting portion 332 is located within the pixel opening and formed on the first electrode 331, and the light emitting portion 332 can include a small molecule organic material or a polymer molecule organic material, can be a fluorescent light emitting material or a phosphorescent light emitting material, can emit red light, green light, blue light, or can emit white light, etc.; and, according to actual different needs, in different examples, the light emitting portion 332 can further include functional layers such as an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, etc.; the second electrode 333 covers the light emitting portion 332, and the polarity of the second electrode 333 is opposite to the polarity of the first electrode 331; this second electrode 333 can be a cathode, and this cathode can be made of metal materials such as lithium (Li), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), etc. A support portion 360 can also be provided on the side of the pixel defining portion 340 facing away from the interlayer dielectric layer 321, and the support portion 360 can play a role in supporting a protective film layer (not shown in the figure) to prevent the protective film layer from contacting the first electrode 331 or other traces, resulting in the first electrode 331 or other traces being easily damaged.

[0041] In this embodiment, an OLED display screen is used as the flexible display screen 220 of the armrest box 11, so that the flexible display screen 220 can cover the curved support skeleton 210. Moreover, since the OLED display screen is thinner and lighter in volume, it can reduce power consumption, which helps to save energy. At the same time, due to the bendability and flexibility of the OLED display screen, its durability is also higher than that of ordinary rigid panels. When it is applied to the armrest box 11, it can increase the service life of the flexible display screen 220 on the armrest box 11.

[0042] Such as Figures 3 to 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a boss 213 is provided around the side surface 212 of the support skeleton 210. The top surface 211, the side surface 212 and the side wall of the boss 213 together define a receiving groove 214. The box cover 200 further includes a flexible support body 230. The flexible support body 230 is disposed in the receiving groove 214, and the flexible display screen 220 is disposed on the side of the flexible support body 230 away from the support skeleton 210. In this embodiment, the side surface 212 of the support skeleton 210 is provided around the top surface 211, and the side surface 212 is provided with a boss 213, that is, the boss 213 is also provided around the top surface 211. The top surface 211, a part of the side surface 212 and the side wall of the boss 213 form the receiving groove 214. When the flexible display screen 220 is disposed in the receiving groove 214, the flexible display screen 220 can be stably fixed on the support skeleton 210 to increase the stability of the flexible display screen 220. The material of the flexible support body 230 can be foam, 3D mesh, etc. It has a flexible function and is widely used in the covering parts of the vehicle 10. When the flexible support body 230 is disposed between the flexible display screen 220 and the support skeleton 210, it can provide a certain buffering force for the flexible display screen 220, thereby increasing a certain rebound effect to improve the touch feeling of the armrest box 11.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the material of the flexible support body 230 is foam. The foam is adhered to the support skeleton 210 in a bonding manner, and the flexible display screen 220 is adhered to the foam in a bonding manner. In some specific embodiments, the material of the flexible support body 230 can be foam. When manufacturing the box cover 200 of the armrest box 11, the support skeleton 210 can be formed by injection molding. The formed support skeleton 210 can have the receiving groove 214. At this time, the inside of the receiving groove 214 can be pretreated by plasma treatment. After the treatment is completed, glue can be sprayed in the receiving groove 214, and the foam can be attached in the receiving groove 214. After the glue between the foam and the receiving groove 214 is cured, glue is sprayed on the surface of the foam on the side away from the receiving groove 214, and finally the flexible display screen 220 is attached to the foam. In this embodiment, the foam can provide a certain rebound effect for the armrest box 11 to improve the touch feeling of the armrest box 11.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the lid 200 of the console box further includes a light-transmitting skin 240, which is adhesively attached to the side of the flexible display screen 220 away from the support frame 210. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting skin 240 can be adhesively attached to the flexible display screen 220. For example, a liquid optical transparent adhesive 250 can be applied on the flexible display screen 220, and the light-transmitting skin 240 can be attached to the liquid optical transparent adhesive 250. The light-transmitting skin 240 is used to transmit the light emitted by the flexible display screen 220. The light-transmitting form of the light-transmitting skin 240 can be full-transmission type, semi-transmission type, etc. For example, when there are some textures or patterns inside the light-transmitting skin 240, the light emitted by the flexible display screen 220 cannot penetrate these textures or patterns. When the flexible display screen 220 is turned on, these textures or patterns can be displayed on the console box 11, thereby improving the aesthetics of the console box 11. When the light-transmitting skin 240 is of the full-transmission type, it can completely transmit the light emitted by the flexible display screen 220. By providing the light-transmitting skin 240 on one side of the flexible display screen 220, the flexible display screen 220 can be protected to a certain extent, and it also has a good touch, which can improve the quality of the console box 11.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the light-transmitting skin 240 covers the flexible display screen 220 and the support frame 210 disposed on the same side as the flexible display screen 220, and the light-transmitting skin 240 covers a part of the side of the support frame 210 away from the flexible display screen 220. When manufacturing the lid 200 of the console box 11, after the flexible display screen 220 is fixed to the support frame 210, a liquid optical transparent adhesive 250 can be applied on the flexible display screen 220, and finally the light-transmitting skin 240 is covered on the surface of the flexible display screen 220. At this time, the light-transmitting skin 240 can be reversely wrapped 180° towards the inside of the support frame 210. In this way, the light-transmitting skin 240 not only covers the flexible display screen 220, but also covers the support frame 210 disposed on the same side as the flexible display screen 220 and a part of the side of the support frame 210 away from the flexible display screen 220. Thus, the flexible display screen 220 can be firmly fixed to the support frame 210, and since the outer surface of the lid 200 of the console box 11 is covered with the light-transmitting skin 240, the aesthetics of the console box 11 can be improved.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments of the present application, the lid 200 of the console box further includes a positioning member 260. The positioning member 260 passes through the light-transmitting skin 240 and is fixedly connected to the support frame 210. The positioning member 260 is configured to fix the light-transmitting skin 240 and the support frame 210. In this embodiment, the positioning member 260 can be a staple, etc. After the light-transmitting skin 240 is covered on the support frame 210, staple processing can be performed on the edge of the light-transmitting skin 240, which can enhance the overall structural strength.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the flexible display screen 220 includes a display area 221 and a plurality of pasting portions 222. A plurality of seams 223 are formed at the edge of the flexible display screen 220. The pasting portion 222 is connected to the flexible display screen 220 on one side of the seam 223, and the pasting portion 222 is attached to the non-display side of the flexible display screen 220 on the other side of the seam 223. In this embodiment, the display area 221 of the flexible display screen 220 is an area for displaying images. In order to make the flexible display screen 220 better fit on the support frame 210, the flexible display screen 220 can be attached to the support frame 210 by appropriate cutting. Specifically, a plurality of cutting openings can be cut out around the flexible display screen 220, and these cutting openings can form the seams 223. The pasting portion 222 is connected to the flexible display screen 220 on one side of the seam 223, and the pasting portion 222 is pasted on the non-display side of the flexible display screen 220 on the other side of the seam 223. In this way, the flexible display screens 220 on both sides of the seam 223 can be connected to form a curved 3D stereoscopic display structure. In some specific embodiments, a foam can be provided between the flexible display screen 220 and the support frame 210. That is to say, the foam can be attached to the support frame 210, and then glue is sprayed on the foam and the flexible display screen 220 is attached. Among them, the edge of the flexible display screen 220 can form the seam 223 by cutting, and finally the flexible display screens 220 on both sides of the seam 223 are joined together. By providing the foam, on the one hand, the touch of the armrest can be improved, and on the other hand, it can absorb the step difference formed by the flexible display screen 220 at the seam 223. It can be understood that during the fitting process of the flexible display screen 220, the flexible display screens 220 on both sides of the seam 223 are prone to form a slight planar difference, that is, a step difference. By providing the foam to well absorb this slight difference, the seam 223 can be made almost invisible, thereby improving the display effect of the flexible display screen 220.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the flexible display screen 220 further includes a packaging portion 224, and the packaging portion 224 is located at the edge of the display area 221. In this embodiment, the edge of the flexible display screen 220 can form the packaging portion 224 through an edge sealing technique. For example, edge sealing glue can be applied to the side wall of the flexible display screen 220, and an aluminum foil tape can be attached, etc. By sealing the edge of the flexible display screen 220, the edge of the flexible display screen 220 can be effectively protected.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, a boss 213 is provided around the edge of the support skeleton 210. The top surface 211, the side surface 212, and the side wall of the boss 213 together define a receiving groove 214. The flexible display screen 220 is disposed in the receiving groove 214. The encapsulation portion 224 is adjacent to the side wall of one side of the boss 213 and is flush with the boss 213. In this embodiment, the side surface 212 of the support skeleton 210 surrounds the top surface 211, and the boss 213 is provided on the side surface 212, that is, the boss 213 also surrounds the top surface 211. The top surface 211, the side surface 212, and the side wall of the boss 213 together define the receiving groove 214. When the flexible display screen 220 is disposed in the receiving groove 214, the flexible display screen 220 can be stably fixed on the support skeleton 210 to increase the stability of the flexible display screen 220. In some specific implementation processes, after the flexible display screen 220 is placed in the receiving groove 214, it is necessary to make the encapsulation portion 224 of the flexible display screen 220 flush with the boss 213, and then cover a light-transmitting skin 240 on the flexible display screen 220 and the boss 213, etc., so as to enable the edge of the flexible display screen 220 to have a better display effect.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the lid 200 can be fixed to the box body 100 by means of gluing. The flexible display screen 220 of the armrest box 11 can display multi-color pattern atmosphere lights, video entertainment, touch-adjust the in-vehicle functions, display vehicle information, etc., and there is no special limitation in the present application.

[0051] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a vehicle 10, including the armrest box 11 in any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0052] According to the vehicle 10 in the embodiments of the present application, since it is equipped with the armrest box 11 in any of the embodiments of the first aspect, therefore, it also has the beneficial effects of any of the embodiments of the first aspect. Specifically, in this embodiment, the accommodation space jointly defined by the box body 100 and the box cover 200 of the armrest box 11 can be used for storing items. The box cover 200 may include a support skeleton 210 and a flexible display screen 220. The support skeleton 210 is the main structure of the box cover 200 and can play a supporting role. The display panel in the flexible display screen 220 includes a flexible substrate 310, a driving circuit layer, and an organic light-emitting functional layer. Among them, the flexible substrate 310 may be a polymer substrate, such as PI (Polyimide), etc. Since the polymer substrate is thin, light, strong, and has excellent flexibility, it can be used to manufacture the flexible display screen 220. Thus, when the shape of the top surface 211 of the support skeleton 210 is curved, the flexible display screen 220 can fit well on the support skeleton 210. In addition, the flexible display screen 220 covers both the top surface 211 and a part of the side surface 212 of the support skeleton 210, so that the top and the edge of the box cover 200 are also provided with the flexible display screen 220, thereby increasing the display effect of the armrest box 11 and improving the quality of the armrest box 11. Moreover, the armrest box 11 with a curved top not only has a beautiful arc, but also provides a good touch feeling when the user leans on the armrest box 11, increasing the comfort of the user. The flexible display screen 220 of the armrest box 11 also includes a control circuit. The user can use the flexible display screen 220 on the armrest box 11 for entertainment or for vehicle infotainment system interaction. Thus, the intelligence level of the vehicle 10 can be improved to meet the entertainment needs of customers.
