Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of display technology, and more specifically, to a display module and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development and advancement of display technology, flexible display modules are becoming increasingly thinner. The previous foam + copper technology is gradually being replaced by the existing silicone gel + copper foil technology. However, even with the existing technology, flexible display modules are prone to deformation of the stacked materials when subjected to pressure from the back. This deformation can be seen from the front of the module, and the molded marks recover slowly, leading to related molded mark defects. In the existing silicone gel + copper foil design, the silicone gel itself is prone to deformation due to its inherent properties, and the recovery rate is slow. After the back side fails under pressure, the deformation cannot disappear quickly, making it easier for people to see the molded mark defects on the front side.

[0003] Therefore, the thinning of flexible display modules has become a current development trend. On this basis, how to improve the recovery rate of silicone gel and enhance the anti-mold performance of the module has become one of the technical problems that urgently need to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a display module and a display device, which aim to improve the recovery rate of the buffer layer and improve the anti-imprinting performance of the module.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a display module, comprising:

[0006] The display panel has a light-emitting surface and a non-light-emitting surface that are disposed opposite to each other.

[0007] A buffer layer is located on the non-light-emitting surface of the display panel; the buffer layer includes a substrate layer and elastic structures distributed in the substrate layer;

[0008] An electrostatic discharge layer is located on the side of the buffer layer opposite to the display panel, and at least a portion of the surface of the buffer layer is in direct contact with the electrostatic discharge layer.

[0009] Secondly, based on the same inventive concept, the present invention provides a display device including the display module provided in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the display module and display device provided by the present invention achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0011] In the display module and display device provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the display panel has a light-emitting surface and a non-light-emitting surface disposed opposite to each other; a buffer layer is located on the non-light-emitting surface of the display panel; the buffer layer includes a substrate layer and elastic structures distributed in the substrate layer; an electrostatic discharge layer is located on the side of the buffer layer away from the display panel, and at least a portion of the surface of the buffer layer is in direct contact with the electrostatic discharge layer. This display module structure can bring the following effects:

[0012] First: After being subjected to pressure, the elastic structure recovers quickly, which drives the silicone gel layer to recover, thereby increasing the recovery rate and increasing the display module's resistance to mold printing;

[0013] Second: The elastic structure can further increase the display module's resistance to compression.

[0014] In summary, this application can improve the springback rate, compression resistance, and mold resistance of display modules and display devices.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this invention need not necessarily achieve all of the technical effects described above at the same time.

[0016] Other features and advantages of the invention will become clear from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0029] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0030] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0031] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0032] Various modifications and variations can be made to this invention without departing from its spirit or scope, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, this invention is intended to cover modifications and variations falling within the scope of the corresponding claims (the claimed technical solutions) and their equivalents. It should be noted that the embodiments provided in this invention can be combined with each other without contradiction.

[0033] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0034] Figure 1The diagram shows a structural schematic of a display module in the related art. In this related art, the display module 100' includes a buffer layer H' and an electrostatic discharge layer J' located below the buffer layer H'. The buffer layer H' is a single silicone gel layer, and the electrostatic discharge layer J' is a copper foil. The single silicone gel layer is prone to deformation, and its recovery rate after deformation is slow. Therefore, under the stress of back pressure, the display module 100' in the related art is prone to deformation of the module stacked materials, and the mold mark can be seen from the front of the module. The slow recovery rate of the mold mark leads to related mold mark defects.

[0035] To solve the above technical problems, Figure 2a The image shown is a top view of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2b As shown Figure 2a Please refer to the cross-sectional view. Figure 2b This invention provides a display module 100, including a display panel PP, the display panel PP having a light-emitting surface and a non-light-emitting surface disposed opposite to each other; a buffer layer H, the buffer layer H being located on the non-light-emitting surface of the display panel PP; the buffer layer H including a substrate layer C and elastic structures T distributed in the substrate layer C; and an electrostatic discharge layer J, the electrostatic discharge layer J being located on the side of the buffer layer H opposite to the display panel PP, and at least a portion of the surface of the buffer layer H being in direct contact with the electrostatic discharge layer J. Thus, in this application, the substrate layer C further includes elastic structures T, which are distributed within the substrate layer C. Optionally, the elastic structures T are uniformly distributed within the substrate layer C. In this way, when the display module 100 is subjected to external force, the elastic structures T distributed in the substrate layer C can further play a buffering role, preventing excessive compression of the substrate layer C by the external force; when the external force is removed, the elastic structures T quickly recover and drive the substrate layer C to recover, increasing the recovery rate of the substrate layer C. Therefore, this application can increase the recovery rate of the buffer layer H, thereby increasing the module's resistance to mold printing. In the display panel PP provided in this embodiment of the invention, an electrostatic discharge layer J is introduced on the side of the buffer layer H away from the display panel PP. The electrostatic discharge layer J can conduct static electricity in the display panel PP to avoid or reduce the impact of static electricity on the display effect.

[0036] It should be noted that, Figure 2b The description only uses a rectangular display module 100 as an example and does not limit the actual shape of the display module 100. In some other embodiments of the present invention, the display module 100 may also be embodied in other non-rectangular structures, such as circles, ellipses or other shapes including curved edges. Figure 2bThis invention only illustrates the display panel PP, buffer layer H, and electrostatic discharge layer J in the display module 100, and does not limit the actual film structure or number of film layers in the display module 100. The display panel PP provided in this embodiment of the invention can be, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, an organic electroluminescent display panel, or an inorganic light-emitting diode display panel, etc. This invention does not limit the type of display panel PP in the display module 100.

[0037] Optionally, in Figure 2b In the illustrated embodiment, the substrate layer C in the buffer layer H is a silicone gel layer. Silicone gel refers to a silicone substance formed by heating and solidifying a milky white colloidal solution containing ultrafine particles with diameters ranging from nanometers to hundreds of nanometers dispersed in water. Silicone gel has advantages such as high adhesion, high flatness, and excellent cushioning. The thickness of the buffer layer H made of silicone gel can be thinner than that of traditional foam buffer layers. Combined with the design of the elastic structure T, this helps to further improve the thinness and lightness of the display module while enhancing its resistance to mold printing.

[0038] Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 3 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the elastic structure T in the buffer layer H of the display module 100 includes elastic microsphere particles B. That is, the present invention adds an elastic structure T to a conventional silicone gel layer, and the elastic structure T contains elastic microsphere particles B. Optionally, the elastic microsphere particles B are uniformly distributed in the substrate layer C. Generally, conventional silicone gels do not have particle design inside, and after being compressed, they rely on their own elasticity to recover, resulting in a slow recovery rate and mold marks that cannot disappear quickly. The present invention incorporates elastic microsphere particles B inside the conventional silicone gel, and the elastic microsphere particles B are uniformly mixed with the silicone gel. When the display module 100 is subjected to external pressure, the compression of the silicone gel layer causes the elastic microsphere particles B to compress as well. The elastic microsphere particles B act as a buffer for the silicone gel layer, preventing excessive deformation under stress. After compression, the elastic microsphere particles B recover quickly, driving the silicone gel layer to recover, thereby increasing the overall recovery rate of the buffer layer H and thus increasing the module's resistance to mold marks.

[0039] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3In one optional embodiment of the present invention, a display module 100 is provided. The buffer layer H of the display module 100 includes elastic microspheres B, which are made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (ETPU) polymer elastomer materials. Polymer elastomer materials deform significantly under weak stress and can quickly recover to near their original state and size after stress relaxation. When the display module 100 is subjected to external pressure, the silicone gel layer is compressed, causing the elastic microspheres B to compress. The elastic microspheres B, made of polymer elastomer material, are uniformly distributed in the silicone gel layer, which can avoid local stress concentration. After the compression is completed, the elastic microspheres B can quickly recover to near their original state and size, thus driving the silicone gel layer to recover, thereby increasing the overall recovery rate of the buffer layer H and increasing the module's resistance to mold printing.

[0040] Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 4 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a display module 100 is provided. The elastic structure T in the buffer layer H of the display module 100 further includes a fiber structure LL, which is one or more of animal fibers, plant fibers, and synthetic fibers. That is, the elastic structure T in the buffer layer H includes not only elastic microspheres B but also the fiber structure LL, which can be one or more of animal fibers, plant fibers, and synthetic fibers. Fiber materials possess high strength, high modulus, and lightweight characteristics. Specifically, the strength of fiber materials is several times higher than that of metal materials, exhibiting excellent tensile, compressive, and bending mechanical properties. This high strength makes fiber materials less prone to deformation or breakage under high loads. Fiber materials also possess good rigidity and stability. The high modulus of fiber materials makes them less prone to deformation under stress, maintaining their original shape and size. Fiber materials have a very low density, and this lightweight nature gives them a significant advantage as a buffer layer, reducing the weight of the display module and improving product performance. In other words, Figure 4 Is Figure 3 Based on the proposed solution, fiber structures LL are added between the elastic microspheres B to maintain the integrity of the elastic microspheres B and further enhance their compressive strength.

[0041] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a display module 100 is provided. The display module 100 includes an elastic structure T comprising elastic microspheres B and a fiber structure LL. The fiber structure LL includes multiple connecting fibers L, each connecting fiber L having a first end L1 and a second end L2. The first end L1 connects to any of the elastic microspheres B, and the second end L2 connects to adjacent elastic microspheres B. That is, the silicone gel layer includes a surrounding region WW in the planar direction. Within this surrounding region WW, any two adjacent elastic microspheres B in the horizontal direction X are connected by connecting fibers L. Similarly, any two adjacent elastic microspheres B in the vertical direction Y are connected by connecting fibers L within this surrounding region WW. Optionally, the horizontal direction X is parallel to the light-emitting surface of the display panel PP, and the vertical direction Y is on the same plane as the horizontal direction X, with the vertical direction Y forming a 90° angle with the horizontal direction X. That is, multiple connecting fibers L are distributed in the substrate layer C. Each elastic microsphere B is connected to its adjacent elastic microsphere B in the horizontal direction X through a connecting fiber L, and each elastic microsphere B is connected to its adjacent elastic microsphere B in the vertical direction Y through a connecting fiber L. In this way, the integrity of the elastic microsphere B can be further guaranteed and the compression resistance of the buffer layer H can be improved.

[0042] Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates a state of the display module provided in this embodiment of the invention after compression and rebound. Please refer to... Figure 5 Within the plane of the silicone gel layer, elastic microspheres B are uniformly distributed. Adjacent elastic microspheres B are connected by connecting fibers L. When the module 100 is subjected to external pressure, the silicone gel layer is compressed, causing the elastic microspheres B to compress. The connecting fibers L bend in the thickness direction of the silicone gel layer. The elastic microspheres B and the connecting fibers L form a whole, which acts as a buffer for the silicone gel layer and can prevent the silicone gel layer from being excessively deformed under stress. After the compression is completed, the elastic microspheres B rebound from the compressed state to their original shape with a fast recovery rate, which causes the connecting fibers L to stretch, thereby causing the silicone gel layer to recover. This increases the recovery rate of the overall buffer layer H and increases the module's resistance to mold printing.

[0043] Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 6This invention provides a display module 100 in which, along the plane of the silicone gel layer, any elastic microsphere B is connected to at least two connecting fibers L. Specifically, along the plane of the silicone gel layer, there are a surrounding region WW and a central region NW. The surrounding region WW and the central region NW have a total of M rows and N columns of elastic microspheres B (M and N are both positive integers greater than or equal to 4). The (M-1)th row of elastic microspheres B in the surrounding region WW is connected to the Mth or (M-2)th row of elastic microspheres B in the vertical direction Y by a connecting fiber L. The (N-1)th column of elastic microspheres B in the surrounding region WW is connected to the Nth or (N-2)th column of elastic microspheres B in the horizontal direction X by a connecting fiber L. The (M-1)th row of elastic microspheres B in the central region NW is connected to the Mth or (M-2)th row of elastic microspheres B in the horizontal direction X by a connecting fiber L. The elastic microspheres B in row -2 are connected in the vertical direction Y by a connecting fiber L. The elastic microspheres B in column N-1 of the central region NW are connected to the elastic microspheres B in column N or N-2 by a connecting fiber L in the horizontal direction X. The elastic microspheres B in row M-2 and column N-2 of the central region NW are connected to the elastic microspheres B in row M-1 and column N-1 by a connecting fiber L in the left diagonal direction. The elastic microspheres B in row M-2 and column N-2 of the central region NW are connected to the elastic microspheres B in row M-1 and column N-3 by a connecting fiber L in the right diagonal direction. In other words, by increasing the number of connecting fibers L between the local elastic microspheres B in the planar direction within the silica gel, the local compressive strength can be further increased, thus changing the surface compressive strength of the silica gel at specific locations.

[0044] Figure 7 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 7 This invention provides a display module 100 in which multiple layers of elastic microspheres B are disposed along the thickness direction of a silicone gel layer, and the multiple layers of elastic microspheres B are vertically distributed at equal intervals. That is, along the thickness direction of the silicone gel layer, there are D layers of elastic microspheres B, namely layers 1, 2, ..., D, where the distance d between layer D and layer D-1 is equal. In other words, the elastic microspheres B are uniformly distributed not only in the planar direction but also in the thickness direction within the silicone gel layer. This better disperses local stress, avoids stress concentration, and further increases the compression resistance of the buffer layer H. It should be noted that... Figure 7 The example given is based on a silicone gel layer containing three layers of elastic microspheres, where D = 3. This does not limit the actual number of elastic microspheres B contained in the silicone gel layer of the display module. In other embodiments of the present invention, D may be greater than 3.

[0045] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 7This invention provides a display module in which any elastic microsphere B is connected to at least two connecting fibers L along the thickness direction of the silicone gel layer. Specifically, along the thickness direction of the silicone gel layer, there are N layers and Z columns of elastic microspheres B. The elastic microspheres B of the (N-1)th layer are connected to the adjacent elastic microspheres B of the Nth or (N-2)th layer along the thickness direction of the silicone gel via a connecting fiber L. The elastic microspheres B of the (N-1)th layer and the elastic microspheres B of the Z-1th column of the Nth layer are connected to the elastic microspheres B of the Z-th column of the Nth layer along the right diagonal direction of the silicone gel thickness direction via a connecting fiber L. The elastic microspheres B of the (N-1)th layer and the elastic microspheres B of the Z-2th column of the Nth layer are connected to the elastic microspheres B of the Z-2th column of the Nth layer along the left diagonal direction of the silicone gel thickness direction via a connecting fiber L. That is, the connecting structure LL not only provides a connection for the elastic microsphere particles B in the plane direction of the silicone gel, but also provides a connection for the elastic microsphere particles B in the thickness direction of the silicone gel. In this way, the integrity of the elastic structure T and the substrate layer C in the buffer layer H can be further improved, the extrusion resistance can be increased, and the anti-molding ability of the flexible display module can be improved.

[0046] Figure 8 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 8 This invention provides a display module 100 in which the number of elastic microsphere particles B decreases in each layer along the direction from the buffer layer H to the electrostatic release layer J. In one embodiment of this invention, optionally, the change trend of the number of elastic microsphere particles B in each layer along the direction from the buffer layer H to the electrostatic release layer J is: N-1 layers > N layers. That is, by changing the arrangement of the elastic microsphere particles B in the direction from the buffer layer H to the electrostatic release layer J, the closer to the electrostatic release layer J, the fewer the number of elastic microsphere particles B, thereby changing the arrangement density of the elastic microsphere particles B, further increasing the compressive strength, and changing the surface compressive strength of the silicone gel at a specific location. Figure 8 The arrangement of materials can reduce the amount of material used while ensuring basic compressive strength.

[0047] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 8 This invention provides a display module in which the electrostatic discharge layer J is a copper foil. The electrostatic discharge layer J can improve the mechanical strength of the buffer layer H, thereby increasing the strength of the display module 100. It can also be used to connect to the grounding line in the display module 100, thus eliminating static electricity around the buffer layer H. Furthermore, the electrostatic discharge layer J can be a copper foil, which has good electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as good ductility and support properties, allowing the buffer layer H to be well-suited for use in flexible display modules.

[0048] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a display device, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 , Figure 9The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a display device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The display device provided in this embodiment includes the display module provided in any of the above embodiments of the present invention.

[0049] It is understood that the display device 200 provided in the embodiments of the present invention can be a computer, mobile phone, tablet, or other display device with display function, and the present invention does not impose specific limitations on it. The display device provided in the embodiments of the present invention has the beneficial effects of the display panel provided in the embodiments of the present invention. For details, please refer to the specific descriptions of the display panel in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0050] In summary, the display module and display device provided by the present invention achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0051] The display module and display device provided in the embodiments of the present invention include a display panel having a light-emitting surface and a non-light-emitting surface disposed opposite to each other; a buffer layer located on the non-light-emitting surface of the display panel; the buffer layer includes a substrate layer and elastic structures distributed in the substrate layer; and an electrostatic discharge layer located on the side of the buffer layer away from the display panel, and at least a portion of the surface of the buffer layer is in direct contact with the electrostatic discharge layer. The substrate layer in the buffer layer is a silicone gel layer; the elastic structure includes elastic microspheres and a fiber structure. The elastic microspheres are TPE or ETPU polymer elastomer materials, and the fiber structure is one or more of animal fibers, plant fibers, and synthetic fibers. The fiber structure includes multiple connecting fibers, each connecting fiber having a first end and a second end. The first end connects to any elastic microsphere, and the second end connects to adjacent elastic microspheres of any elastic microsphere. Along the plane of the silicone gel layer, any elastic microsphere is connected to at least two of the connecting fibers. Along the thickness direction of the silicone gel layer, multiple layers of elastic microspheres are arranged, and the multiple layers of elastic microspheres are vertically distributed at equal intervals. Along the thickness direction of the silicone gel layer, any elastic microsphere is connected to at least two connecting fibers. Along the direction from the buffer layer to the electrostatic release layer, the number of elastic microspheres in each layer decreases. The electrostatic release layer is a copper foil. Thus, the elastic structure can increase the compression resistance of the silicone gel layer. When the display module is compressed, the compression of the silicone gel layer causes the elastic microspheres to compress. The elastic microspheres are uniformly distributed in the silicone gel layer along the plane and thickness direction of the silicone gel layer. That is, the elastic microspheres are uniformly distributed in the three-dimensional structure of the silicone gel layer, and adjacent elastic microspheres are connected in pairs by connecting fibers, increasing the integrity of the elastic microspheres and the silicone gel layer. The uniform distribution of elastic microspheres can further increase the compression resistance of the display module. After the display module is compressed, the elastic microspheres made of polymer elastomer material can quickly recover when the external force is removed due to their inherent properties. By restoring the silicone gel layer to near its original state and size, the silicone gel layer can be restored, thereby increasing the display module's resistance to mold printing. Increasing the number of fibers between local microspheres in the planar or thickness direction within the silicone gel can further increase local compressive strength and change the surface compressive strength of the silicone gel at specific locations. In the thickness direction within the silicone gel, multiple layers of microspheres can be set, and by changing the arrangement of the microspheres, the overall shape of the microspheres can be altered, further increasing compressive strength. Along the direction from the buffer layer to the electrostatic release layer, the number of elastic microspheres in each layer can be set to decrease layer by layer, reducing material usage while ensuring basic stress resistance.

[0052] While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
