[0103] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0105] With the development of display technology, foldable display screens have become a development trend of future mobile electronic products. The display module using the foldable display screen can be unfolded or folded as needed, enhancing the user experience. The foldable display screen can provide more display area in the unfolded state, improving the display effect. When the foldable display screen is in the folded state, it is convenient for users to carry, and at the same time, it can provide a smaller display area.
[0106] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the display screen 1 is formed by stacking a plurality of film layers, and in the bending process, the bending radii of different film layers are different, causing the film layers to move out of position, thereby generating a shear force, causing the bending area 11 to appear an inverted arch.
[0107] Based on this, the present application provides a display module solution, which is described in detail in the following embodiments.
[0108] Referring to Figures 2-4 As shown in FIG. 1, the display screen 1 is formed by stacking a plurality of film layers, and in the bending process, the bending radii of different film layers are different, causing the film layers to move out of position, thereby generating a shear force, causing the bending area 11 to appear an inverted arch.
[0109] The display screen 1 has a display surface 12 and a back surface 13 opposite to each other, the display screen 1 includes at least one bending area 11, the middle frame 2 is arranged on the back surface 13 of the display screen 1, and the first adhesive structure 3 is adhered between the back surface 13 of the display screen 1 and the middle frame 2.
[0110] The first adhesive structure 3 includes a plurality of adhesive portions 31, and the plurality of adhesive portions 31 are arranged at intervals along a first direction (such as the X direction in the figure); wherein the first direction is the length direction of the display screen 1 in the unfolded state.
[0111] The first adhesive structure 3 connects the back of the display screen 1 to the middle frame 2. The middle frame 2 protects the display screen 1. When the display module 100 is subjected to external forces such as collisions or drops, the middle frame 2 can absorb some of the impact force, reducing damage to components such as the display screen 1. Optionally, the adhesive part 31 includes an adhesive backing, which can be acrylic adhesive or polyurethane adhesive, etc.
[0112] The display module 100 provided in this application attaches a first adhesive structure 3 between the back surface 13 and the middle frame 2 of the display screen 1. The first adhesive structure 3 includes a plurality of adhesive portions 31, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the display screen 1 in the unfolded state. This improves the deformability of the first adhesive structure 3 along the length direction of the display screen 1 in the unfolded state, effectively releases the shear force generated when the film layer of the display screen 1 shifts, avoids the bending area 11 of the display screen 1 from arching, and improves the display performance of the display module 100.
[0113] Specifically, this application provides adhesive portions 31 spaced apart along a first direction, so that when the display screen 1 is folded, reference is made to... Figure 4 As shown, the film layer in the display screen 1 shifts along the first direction, and the adhesive part 31 deforms along the first direction under the influence of the display screen 1, thereby effectively releasing the shear force generated when the film layer of the display screen 1 shifts, preventing the bending area 11 of the display screen 1 from arching, and improving the display performance of the display module 100.
[0114] In one embodiment, along the first direction, the distance between two adjacent adhesive portions 31 is less than or equal to 20 mm, which helps to ensure the flatness of the display surface 12 of the display screen 1. (Refer to...) Figure 3 Along the first direction, the distance between two adjacent adhesive portions 31 is M. Specifically, along the first direction, the distance between two adjacent adhesive portions 31 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, etc., and there is no specific limitation.
[0115] Preferably, along the first direction, the ratio of the distance between two adjacent adhesive portions 31 to the unfolded length of the display screen 1 is less than or equal to 1 / 8, which helps to ensure the flatness of the display surface 12 of the display screen 1. Specifically, along the first direction, the ratio of the distance between two adjacent adhesive portions 31 to the unfolded length of the display screen 1 can be 1 / 20, 1 / 15, 1 / 10, 1 / 8, etc., and there is no specific limitation.
[0116] Please continue to refer to Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the size of the bonding portion 31 in the second direction (e.g., the Y direction in the figure) is greater than or equal to 50 mm, and the second direction is the width direction of the display screen 1 in the unfolded state. In this case, the size of the bonding portion 31 in the second direction being greater than or equal to 50 mm is conducive to reducing the deformability of the bonding portion 31 in the second direction, avoiding displacement of the display screen 1 relative to the middle frame 2 in the second direction, and ensuring the stability of the display module 100 structure.
[0117] Further, in order to improve the deformability of the first bonding structure 3 in the first direction, the bonding portion 31 needs to meet at least one of the following three conditions:
[0118] Condition one: the size of the bonding portion 31 in the first direction is less than or equal to 10 mm; refer to Figure 3 , the size of the bonding portion 31 in the first direction is N. In this case, the smaller the size of the bonding portion 31 in the first direction, the stronger the deformability of the first bonding structure 3 in the first direction. Specifically, the size of the bonding portion 31 in the first direction can be 10 mm, 9 mm, 8 mm, 7 mm, 6 mm, 5 mm, 4 mm, 3 mm, 2 mm, etc., and is not specifically limited.
[0119] Condition two: the modulus of the bonding portion 31 is less than or equal to 500 Kpa; in this case, the smaller the modulus of the bonding portion 31, the stronger the deformability of the first bonding structure 3 in the first direction. Specifically, the modulus of the bonding portion 31 can be 500 Kpa, 450 Kpa, 300 Kpa, 250 Kpa, 200 Kpa, 150 Kpa, 100 Kpa, 50 Kpa, etc., and is not specifically limited.
[0120] Condition three: the thickness (e.g., the Z direction in the figure) of the bonding portion 31 is greater than or equal to 0.15 mm; in this case, the greater the thickness of the bonding portion 31, the stronger the deformability of the first bonding structure 3 in the first direction. Specifically, the thickness of the bonding portion 31 can be 0.15 mm, 0.16 mm, 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.45 mm, 0.5 mm, etc., and is not specifically limited.
[0121] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the middle frame 2 is provided with a receiving groove 26, and the bonding portion 31 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 26; in the first direction, the size of the receiving groove 26 is greater than the size of the corresponding bonding portion 31, so as to form a second deformation space 261 for the deformation of the bonding portion 31. In this case, the middle frame 2 being provided with the receiving groove 26 is conducive to reducing the overall thickness of the display module 100, or, under the condition of meeting the overall thickness requirement of the display module 100, increasing the thickness of the bonding portion 31 and improving the deformability of the first bonding structure 3 in the first direction.
[0122] Preferably, the depth of the accommodating groove 26 is 150-250 urn, so as to avoid affecting the structural strength of the middle frame 2 due to too large depth. Specifically, the depth of the accommodating groove 26 can be 150 urn, 180 urn, 200 urn, 220 urn, 250 urn, etc., and is not specifically limited.
[0123] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the display screen 1 includes a screen body 14 and a support structure 4, the support structure 4 is located at the side of the screen body 14 close to the middle frame 2, the first adhesive structure 3 is arranged between the support structure 4 and the middle frame 2, and the support structure 4 includes a plurality of support portions 41 corresponding to the adhesive portions 31, and the plurality of support portions 41 are arranged at intervals along the first direction.
[0124] The compressible space 411 is formed between the adjacent two support portions 41, and the support structure 4 further includes a compressible structure 42, which is located in the compressible space 411; along the first direction, the adjacent two support portions 41 are connected through the compressible structure 42.
[0125] Specifically, when the display screen 1 is folded, the compressible structure 42 is compressed along the first direction, at this time, the screen body 14 is deformed along the thickness direction, thereby effectively releasing the shear force generated when the display screen 1 film layer is dislocated, increasing the shear force release path, further avoiding the occurrence of reverse arch in the bending area 11 of the display screen 1, and improving the display performance of the display module 100.
[0126] Preferably, along the first direction, the size Q of the compressible space 411 is less than or equal to 0.8 mm, which is beneficial to ensure the flatness of the display surface 12 of the display screen 1. Specifically, along the first direction, the size of the compressible space 411 can be 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.55 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.65 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.8 mm, etc., and is not specifically limited.

Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 When the display screen 1 is folded, the compressible structure 42 is compressed along the first direction, and the compressible space 411 is also compressed at the same time, at this time, the screen body 14 corresponding to the first deformation space 311 is deformed into the first deformation space 311, thereby effectively releasing the shear force generated when the display screen 1 film layer is dislocated, and avoiding the occurrence of reverse arch in the bending area 11 of the display screen 1.
[0128] Preferably, the size S of the first deformation space 311 is less than or equal to 20 mm in the first direction, which is conducive to ensuring the flatness of the display surface 12 of the display screen 1. Specifically, the size of the first deformation space 311 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, etc. in the first direction, and the specific value is not limited.
[0129] Preferably, the material of the support structure 4 includes metal or carbon fiber, etc. to ensure sufficient strength, realize stable support of the screen body 14, and improve the flatness of the display surface 12 of the display screen 1.

[0133] Preferably, the reinforcing structure 45 is located on the side of the compressible structure 42 close to the middle frame 2. Among them, the side of the compressible structure 42 close to the middle frame 2 has the first deformation space 311, so that the reinforcing structure 45 is arranged on the side of the compressible structure 42 close to the middle frame 2, which can avoid the reinforcing structure 45 affecting the flatness of the display surface 12 of the display screen 1.
[0134] Preferably, the material of the reinforcing structure 45 is rubber. In other embodiments, the material of the reinforcing structure 45 can be polyurethane, silicone, etc.

[0136] The first bonding structure 3 is arranged between the first middle frame 21 and the first portion 15, between the second middle frame 22 and the second portion 17, and between the third middle frame 23 and the third portion 19. When one of the first bending portion 16 and the second bending portion 18 is folded, the first bonding structure 3 corresponding to different portions is deformed in the first direction, thereby effectively releasing the shear force generated when the film layer of the display screen 1 is dislocated from two opposite directions.

When one of the first bending portion 16 and the second bending portion 18 is folded, the bonding portion 31 is deformed in the first direction. At this time, the first portion 15 and the first middle frame 21 are slightly dislocated in the first direction, thereby effectively releasing the shear force generated when the film layer of the display screen 1 is dislocated, and avoiding the other of the first bending portion 16 and the second bending portion 18 from appearing reverse arching.
[0138] In another embodiment, the first bonding structure 3 is arranged between the third middle frame 23 and the third portion 19, and no first bonding structure 3 is arranged between the first middle frame 21 and the first portion 15 and between the second middle frame 22 and the second portion 17. When one of the first bending portion 16 and the second bending portion 18 is folded, the bonding portion 31 is deformed in the first direction. At this time, the third portion 19 and the third middle frame 23 are slightly dislocated in the first direction, thereby effectively releasing the shear force generated when the film layer of the display screen 1 is dislocated, and avoiding the other of the first bending portion 16 and the second bending portion 18 from appearing reverse arching.

At this time, the first portion 15 is misaligned with the first middle frame 21, releasing some of the shear force generated when the film layer is misaligned. At the same time, the second portion 17 and the third portion 19 are misaligned with the second middle frame 22 and the third middle frame 23, releasing some of the shear force generated when the film layer is misaligned. This is equivalent to releasing shear force simultaneously from both ends of the display screen 1 along the first direction.

[0155] Please refer to Figure 24 The shear deformation of the first adhesive structure 3 refers to the relative displacement d between the two surfaces of the adhesive part 31 connected with the display screen 1 and the middle frame 2, which can be directly measured. In the unfolded state of the display screen 1, the relative displacement d between the two surfaces of the adhesive part 31 connected with the display screen 1 and the middle frame 2 is 0, that is, the shear deformation of the first adhesive structure 3 is 0. Similarly, the shear deformation of the second adhesive structure 6 refers to the relative displacement between the two surfaces of the second adhesive structure 6 connected with the display screen 1 and the middle frame 2, and in the unfolded state of the display screen 1, the shear deformation of the second adhesive structure 6 is 0. Further, it can be understood that in the first direction, the deformability of the first adhesive structure 3 is stronger than that of the second adhesive structure 6.
[0156] In the unfolded state, the shear deformation of the first adhesive structure 3 is greater than that of the second adhesive structure 6, and the shear force generated when the film layer of the display screen 1 is dislocated can be effectively released away from the first bending part 16 by the first adhesive structure 3 arranged between the first middle frame 21 and the first part 15.

[0165] Preferably, in the first direction, the size of the first movable slot 24 is greater than the size of the base 7, so as to form a movement space for the base 7 to move. At the same time, the first movable slot 24 also limits the movement range of the base 7 in the first direction.
[0166] Preferably, the middle frame 2 is provided with a limiting part 27, and the orthogonal projection of the limiting part 27 on the middle frame 2 is located in the orthogonal projection of the first movable slot 24 on the middle frame 2, so as to limit the base 7 in the thickness direction, avoid the base 7 moving in the thickness direction, and avoid the base 7 from leaving the first movable slot 24.

Optionally, the first adhesive structure 3 comprises a back adhesive, which can be an acrylic adhesive or a polyurethane adhesive.
[0169] In this embodiment, the shear deformation amount of the first adhesive structure 3 in the first direction refers to the relative displacement amount d between two surfaces of the adhesive part 31 connected with the display screen 1 and the middle frame 2 in the first direction, which can be directly measured.
