DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] The present application discloses a display assembly to reduce the probability of damage. The present application also discloses an electronic device.

[0064] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] like Figure 1-Figure 20 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a display component, including a first component 100 and a second component 200 .

[0066] The first component 100 has a first surface and a second surface facing each other, and light can pass through along the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface. Taking the first component 100 as a plate-like structure as an example, the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface can be the thickness direction of the plate-like structure, and the first surface and the second surface can be two surfaces with larger areas of the plate-like structure. Since light can pass through along the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface, that is, light can at least pass through along the thickness direction of the plate-like structure, the image information located on both sides of the first component 100 along the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface can pass through the first component 100 without being completely blocked by the first component 100, so that the image information located on the second surface of the first component 100 can be passed through the first component 100 and used to be acquired from the first surface. The first component 100 can also be made into other structures, which are not specifically limited here. Since it is required that light can at least pass through the first component 100 along the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface, wherein the first component 100 can be a transparent structure formed by transparent plastic, glass, transparent glue or a combination of multiple transparent layers, and light in any direction can pass through the first component 100; the first component 100 can also be a structure that is light-transmitting only in the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface, but not light-transmitting in other directions, that is, the first component 100 can have an anti-peeping function similar to an anti-peep film, so that the user can only obtain image information passing through the first component 100 from the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface.

[0067] The display assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application can be a bendable display assembly, that is, a display assembly composed of at least a first component 100 and a second component 200, and having a bendable portion. The first component 100 has a support structure 101 for connecting to the body of the electronic device and a flexible structure 102 connected to the support structure 101, and the flexible structure 102 can be bent; that is, the support structure 101 of the first component 100 is connected to the body of the electronic device so that the support structure 101 of the first component 100 can obtain a supporting force through the body of the electronic device, and because the flexible structure 102 is connected to the support structure 101, it can also provide a certain supporting effect on the flexible structure 102 without affecting the bending of the flexible structure 102.

[0068] The second component 200 has a third surface for outputting image information, and the third surface is arranged opposite to the second surface. The support structure 101 can provide support force for the second component 200, and the orthographic projection area of ​​the first component 100 along the first direction can cover the third surface. The first direction is the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, and the portion of the second component 200 corresponding to the flexible structure 102 can be bent. Since the orthographic projection area of ​​the first component 100 along the first direction can cover the third surface, the first component 100 is not smaller than the second component 200 and can protect the third surface of the second component 200. The portion of the second component 200 corresponding to the flexible structure 102 can be bent, so that the portion of the display component that can be bent is at least composed of the flexible structure 102 and the portion of the second component 200 corresponding to the flexible structure 102, so that the display component can be bent in the area where the flexible structure 102 is located, so as to realize the switching of the display component between different forms. Among them, taking the area where the flexible structure 102 is located as the middle area of ​​the display component as an example, the display component can at least include a first form of the display component being flattened and a second form of the display component being folded.

[0069] The orthographic projection area of ​​the first component 100 along the first direction can cover the third surface, so that the edge of the first component 100 can exceed the edge of the second component 200, that is, the outer peripheral edge of the orthographic projection area of ​​the first component 100 along the first direction is larger than the outer peripheral edge of the orthographic projection area of ​​the second component 200 along the first direction, which can better protect the edge of the second component 200 and prevent the edge of the second component 200 from being damaged by external forces. The edge of the first component 100 can also be aligned with the edge of the second component 200, that is, the outer peripheral edge of the orthographic projection area of ​​the first component 100 along the first direction is aligned with the outer peripheral edge of the orthographic projection area of ​​the second component 200 along the first direction, so that the edge of the second component 200 will not extend outside the edge of the first component 100, which can also prevent the edge of the second component 200 from being damaged by external forces.

[0070] Since the support structure 101 can provide support force for the second component 200, the support structure 101 of the first component 100 is connected to the body of the electronic device, and the support structure 101 of the first component 100 provides support force for the second component 200, so that the support force is applied to the second component 200 by the body of the electronic device through the support structure 101, that is, the first component 100 is a component that provides support force for the second component 200, and the display component is fixed relative to the body of the electronic device through the connection between the support structure 101 and the body of the electronic device. Compared with the existing method of squeezing the first component 100 to the second component 200 by a pressure strip to achieve the fixation of the display component, it avoids directly applying pressure to the second component 200, and the first component 100 can completely cover the third surface of the second component 200, effectively reducing the probability of the second component 200 being damaged by external force.

[0071] The first component 100 includes a first structural layer 110 and a flexible structural layer 120. The first structural layer 110 may at least partially have a supporting force, so that the first component 100 (support structure 101) provides a supporting force to the second component 200. The first structural layer 110 may be made of a rigid material such as glass or resin. In order to avoid damage caused by stress concentration due to the rigid connection between the first structural layer 110 and the body of the electronic device, a flexible connection is achieved through the flexible structural layer 120, which can effectively reduce the probability of damage.

[0072] In some embodiments, the flexible structural layer 120 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the first structural layer 110 or the fourth surface of the first structural layer 110 facing away from the first surface. The flexible structural layer 120 is used to connect with the body of the electronic device, and the second surface is located on the side of the flexible structural layer 120 facing away from the first structural layer 110. It can be seen that the flexible structural layer 120 will not be located on the first surface of the first component 100 (the side facing the same direction as the first surface), and the flexible structural layer 120 is connected to the body of the electronic device to achieve the flexible connection between the other surfaces of the first component 100 except the first surface and the body of the electronic device. That is, under the premise of ensuring that the first surface of the first component 100 can not be blocked by other structures (such as the structure connected to the first component 100 on the body of the electronic device), the first component 100 is flexibly connected to the body of the electronic device. When the electronic device is subjected to impact force (such as falling or collision), the transmission of the impact force to the first component 100 is effectively reduced, and because the support structure 101 provides support force to the second component 200, the protection of the display component is improved.

[0073] In some embodiments, the flexible structural layer 120 may include a first flexible member 121 disposed on the outer circumference of the first structural layer 110. That is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the orthographic projection area of ​​the first flexible member 121 is disposed along the edge of the orthographic projection area of ​​the first structural layer 110.

[0074] The first flexible member 121 is disposed along the outer peripheral surface of the first structural layer 110 , which can further protect the edge of the first structural layer 110 , and further reduce the probability of the first structural layer 110 being damaged due to the impact force when subjected to the impact force.

[0075] Since the first flexible member 121 is arranged along the outer circumference of the first structural layer 110, in the structure where the edge of the first component 100 exceeds the edge of the second component 200 and the edge of the first component 100 is aligned with the edge of the second component 200, the display assembly can be fixed by the first flexible member 121 and the body of the electronic device. In the structure where the edge of the first component 100 is aligned with the edge of the second component 200, since the first flexible member 121 is arranged along the outer circumference of the first structural layer 110, the edge of the first component 100 is the surface of the first flexible member 121 facing away from the first structural layer 110, that is, the outer side surface of the first flexible member 121, and the first component 100 can be connected to the body of the electronic device through the outer side surface of the first flexible member 121 to fix the display assembly. In the structure where the edge of the first component 100 exceeds the edge of the second component 200, the bottom surface of the first flexible member 121 facing the second component 200 at least partially exceeds the second component 200, and the display assembly can be fixed by connecting to the body of the electronic device through at least one of the outer side surface and the bottom surface of the first flexible member 121.

[0076] The flexible structural layer 120 may further include a second flexible member 122 disposed on the fourth surface. It is understood that the first structural layer 110 has a surface facing the same direction as the first surface and a surface facing the same direction as the second surface, wherein the surface facing the same direction as the second surface is the fourth surface facing away from the first surface. Therefore, the second flexible member 122 may be located between the first structural layer 110 and the second component 200.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the first component 100 facing away from the second component 200 is the first surface, and the surface of the first component 100 facing the second component is the second surface. In the embodiment where the flexible structural layer 120 of the first component 100 is directly connected to the second component 200, the surface of the flexible structural layer 120 facing the second component 200 is the second surface.

[0078] The third surface of the second component 200 is used to output image information, that is, the second component 200 serves as a display surface, which is a surface of the second component 200 facing the first component 100 .

[0079] Since the first component 100 includes at least the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120, the arrangement direction of the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120 is the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface of the first component 100, wherein the first structural layer 110 has a fourth surface, and the fourth surface is a surface of the first structural layer 110 facing the flexible structural layer 120. In the embodiment where the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120 are directly connected, the fourth surface is a connection surface of the first structural layer 110 for connecting with the flexible structural layer 120.

[0080] The edge of the first component 100 can extend beyond the edge of the second component 200, so that the edge portion of the second flexible component 122 can be located outside the projection of the second component 200 onto the second flexible component 122. The edge portion of the second flexible component 122 can serve as a part of the main body connected to the electronic device. On the basis of providing a flexible connection, the first component 100 can better protect the second component 200.

[0081] The first structural layer 110 includes a first portion 111, a flexible portion 112, and a second portion 113, wherein the flexible portion 112 is located between the first portion 111 and the second portion 113; wherein the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 are support structures, and the flexible portion 112 is a flexible structure. That is, the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 are located on both sides of the flexible portion 112, so that the first structural layer 110 is a structure that is bent in the middle and can provide support forces on both sides.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first portion 111, the flexible portion 112, and the second portion 113 are coplanar on a side away from the second component 200. That is, the coplanar surface of the first portion 111, the flexible portion 112, and the second portion 113 is oriented in the same direction as the first surface.

[0083] The thickness of the flexible part 112 is less than the thickness of the first part 111 and the second part 113. Among them, the flexible part 112, the first part 111 and the second part 113 can be made of the same material, and the flexible part 112, the first part 111 and the second part 113 can also be made of the same material as an integrated structure. For example, the first structural layer 110 is a UFG (Ultra-Thin Fexible Glass, ultra-thin foldable unequal thickness glass) layer. The thickness of the flexible part 112 is less than the thickness of the first part 111 and the second part 113, so that the flexible part 112 can be bent, and the thickness of the first part 111 and the second part 113 is larger, which can provide sufficient support. The material of the flexible part 112 can also be different from that of the first part 111 and the second part 113. The flexible part 112 can be made of a flexible material, and the first part 111 and the second part 113 can be made of a rigid material.

[0084] Compared with rigid materials, flexible materials have greater deformation capacity and can undergo greater elastic deformation or plastic deformation without being damaged when subjected to external forces. The flexible portion 112 can be directly connected to the first portion 111 and the second portion 113, or the flexible portion 112 can be connected to at least one of the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 through other connection structures, which are not specifically limited here and are within the scope of protection.

[0085] Of course, in the embodiment where the flexible portion 112 is made of different materials from the first portion 111 and the second portion 113, the thickness of the flexible portion 112 may be the same as the thickness of the first portion 111 and the thickness of the second portion 113, or even greater than the thickness of the first portion 111 and the thickness of the second portion 113. For example, the flexible portion 112 may be made of a flexible material, and the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 may be made of a rigid material. Even if the thickness of the flexible portion 112 is equal to or greater than the thickness of the first portion 111 and the thickness of the second portion 113, the flexible portion 112 may be bent and the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 may play a supporting role.

[0086] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible portion 112 is less than the thickness of the first portion 111 and the second portion 113, and the first portion 111, the flexible portion 112 and the second portion 113 are coplanar on a side away from the second component 200, so that the first portion 111, the flexible portion 112 and the second portion 113 are close to the side of the second component 200 (the side of the first structural layer 110 facing away from the first surface) and the flexible portion 112 is recessed relative to the first portion 111 and the second portion 113. The flexible structural layer 120 has a bending portion 123, which is arranged corresponding to the flexible portion 112 and is located on the side of the flexible portion 112 facing away from the first surface. Among them, the bending portion 123 can be located in a groove structure formed by the flexible portion 112 being recessed relative to the first portion 111 and the second portion 113, so that the flexible structure at least includes the flexible portion 112 and the bending portion 123, thereby improving the structural strength of the flexible structure.

[0087] Further, the side of the bending portion 123 facing away from the second component 200 contacts the side of the flexible portion 112 facing the second component 200, so that the bending portion 123 and the flexible portion 112 are relatively matched and support each other. Of course, the side of the bending portion 123 facing away from the second component 200 and the side of the flexible portion 112 facing the second component 200 can also be gap-matched or connected by an adhesive layer, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here. In addition, the side of the second flexible member 122 of the flexible structural layer 120 facing away from the second component 200 can contact the side of the first part 111 and the second part 113 facing the second component 200, so that the second flexible member 122 can protect the first part 111 and the second part 113. Similarly, the side of the second flexible member 122 facing away from the second component 200 can also be gap-matched or connected by an adhesive layer, etc., with the first part 111 and the second part 113 facing the second component 200.

[0088] For the convenience of processing, the first flexible member 121, the second flexible member 122 and the bending portion 123 of the flexible structural layer 120 can be integrally formed, or directly or indirectly connected after being processed separately. For example, the flexible structural layer 120 can be an elastic glue structural layer, and the flexible structural layer 120 is formed by glue filling.

[0089] The first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120 can be processed separately and then relatively assembled, or the flexible structural layer 120 can be directly processed at the corresponding position of the first structural layer 110. In order to facilitate the relative matching of the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120, the cross section of the groove structure formed by the flexible part 112 being recessed relative to the first part 111 and the second part 113 can be a trapezoidal surface, the upper bottom of which is the surface of the flexible part 112 facing the second part 200; and the cross section of the bending part 123 can be a trapezoidal surface, the upper bottom of which is the surface of the bending part 123 facing away from the second part 200. The above cross section is a surface formed along the arrangement direction of the first part 100 and the second part 200 and the arrangement direction of the first part 111, the flexible part 112 and the second part 113 in the first structural layer 110.

[0090] like Figure 5 As shown, in the main view (the direction shown by the first surface) of the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120 , the first flexible member 121 is arranged along the periphery of the first structural layer 110 .

[0091] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in other embodiments, the flexible structural layer 120 has a bending portion 123, the first structural layer 110 includes a first portion 111 and a second portion 113, the bending portion 123 is located between the first portion 111 and the second portion 113, the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 belong to the support structure 101, and the bending portion 123 belongs to the flexible structure 102. The first portion 111, the bending portion 123, and the side of the second portion 113 away from the second component 200 may be coplanar, and the first portion 111, the bending portion 123, and the side of the second portion 113 close to the second component 200 may also be coplanar.

[0092] like Fig.10As shown, in the main view (the direction shown on the first surface) of the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120, the first flexible member 121 is arranged along the periphery of the first structural layer 110, and a bending portion 123 is arranged between the first portion 111 and the second portion 113. The bending portion 123 is located between the first portion 111 and the second portion 113, and the first structural layer 110 can be bent and flattened based on the bending portion 123, so that the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 can adjust the relative position based on the bending of the bending portion 123. When the first structural layer 110 is bent, the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 can be at an angle or relatively parallel, and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bending portion 123; when the first structural layer 110 is flattened, the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 can be coplanar and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bending portion 123. The bending portion 123 is made of elastic glue or other elastic materials to absorb the elastic deformation during the bending process.

[0093] The first component 100 further includes a second structural layer, which is a flexible layer; the second structural layer is located on a side of the first structural layer 110 facing away from the second component 200 and can at least cover the bending portion 123. The second structural layer can cover and protect the first structural layer 110, and because the second structural layer is a flexible layer, the second structural layer can be deformed in coordination during the bending process of the bending portion 123.

[0094] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first portion 111, the flexible portion 112, and the second portion 113 of the first structural layer 110 are coplanar on a side away from the second component 200, and the second structural layer includes a first flexible layer 130, which is located on a side of the first structural layer 110 away from the second component 200 and is matched and connected with the first structural layer 110. The first flexible layer 130 may be HC (hard coating, anti-scratch coating) to provide anti-scratch protection for the first structural layer 110. The first structural layer 110 may be a UFG layer or other structural layers.

[0095] Specifically, the edge of the first flexible layer 130 can be aligned with the edge of the first flexible member 121. That is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the combined structure formed by the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120 overlaps with the projection of the first flexible layer 130 and the edges are aligned. Since the first flexible member 121 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the first structural layer 110, the edge of the first flexible layer 130 extends out of the first structural layer 110. That is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the first structural layer 110 is located within the projection of the first flexible layer 130 and there is a certain distance between the edges of the two projections.

[0096] The edge of the first flexible layer 130 may not be aligned with the edge of the first flexible member 121. The edge of the first flexible layer 130 (second structural layer) may be aligned with the edge of the first structural layer 110, or the edge of the first structural layer 110 may exceed the edge of the first flexible layer 130 (second structural layer), and the edge of the first flexible layer 130 may correspond to the first flexible member 121, that is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the edge of the first flexible layer 130 is located within the projection of the first flexible member 121.

[0097] The edge of the first component 100 exceeds the edge of the second component 200 by a first distance C, so that the first component 100 can completely cover the second component 200 to protect the second component 200 .

[0098] Furthermore, the edge of the second structure layer exceeds the edge of the second component 200 , so that the second structure layer can at least cover the third surface of the second component 200 along the arrangement direction of the first component and the second component 200 .

[0099] Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the first structural layer 110 includes a first portion 111, a flexible portion 112 and a second portion 113. The first structural layer 110 may also be configured as other structures, such as Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the first structure layer 110 includes a first portion 111 and a second portion 113 , and the bending portion 123 is located between the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 . The first portion 111 and the second portion 113 of the first structure layer 110 are coplanar with a side of the bending portion 123 of the flexible structure layer 120 away from the second component 200 .

[0100] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in other embodiments, the first part 111 and the second part 113 of the first structural layer 110 are coplanar with the side of the bending portion 123 of the flexible structural layer 120 away from the second component 200, and the second structural layer includes a first flexible layer 130 and a second flexible layer 140, the first flexible layer 130 and the second flexible layer 140 can be stacked, and the first structural layer 110 is located on the side of the second flexible layer 140 away from the first structural layer 110. The first flexible layer 130 can be HC (hard coating, anti-scratch coating) to provide anti-scratch protection for the first structural layer 110. The second flexible layer 140 can be a UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) layer, which further improves the support effect of the first component 100 (support structure 101) on the basis of covering and protecting the bending portion 123. The first structural layer 110 can be a UFG layer or other structural layers. The thickness of the second flexible layer 140 may be smaller than that of the first structural layer 110 , for example, the thickness of the first structural layer 110 is 200 μm, and the thickness of the second flexible layer 140 is 50 μm. Of course, the thicknesses of the second flexible layer 140 and the first structural layer 110 may also be other values.

[0101] In this embodiment, the edges of the first flexible layer 130 and the second flexible layer 140 can be aligned. Of course, the edges of the first flexible layer 130 and the second flexible layer 140 can also be misaligned.

[0102] The edge of the second structural layer (at least one of the first flexible layer 130 and the second flexible layer 140) can be aligned with the edge of the first flexible member 121. That is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the combined structure formed by the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120 overlaps with the projection of the second structural layer and the edges are aligned. Since the first flexible member 121 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the first structural layer 110, the edge of the second structural layer extends out of the first structural layer 110. That is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the first structural layer 110 is located within the projection of the second structural layer and there is a certain distance between the edges of the two projections.

[0103] The edge of the second structure layer may not be aligned with the edge of the first flexible member 121. The edge of the first structure layer 110 may be aligned with the edge of the second structure layer, or the edge of the first structure layer 110 may exceed the edge of the second structure layer. Figure 6As shown, the edge of the second structural layer (at least one of the first flexible layer 130 and the second flexible layer 140) can have a second distance A from the edge of the first flexible component 121, that is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the edge of the second structural layer is located within the projection of the combined structure formed by the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120.

[0104] In this embodiment, the second flexible layer 140 is in direct contact with the first part 111, the bending part 123 and the second part 113 on one side facing the second component 200, that is, the first structural layer 110 is a two-piece structure arranged on both sides of the bending part 123. Taking the formation of the flexible structural layer 120 by the glue filling operation as an example, in the operation of filling the elastic glue for making the flexible structural layer 120, the first flexible member 121 and the bending part 123 arranged along the periphery of the first structural layer 110 can be filled synchronously, and the first flexible member 121, the second flexible member 122 and the bending part 123 can be further filled synchronously to form a flexible structural layer 120 of an integral structure. The edge of the first component 100 exceeds the edge of the second component 200 by a first spacing C, so that the first component 100 can completely cover the second component 200 to protect the second component 200.

[0105] Furthermore, the edge of the second structure layer exceeds the edge of the second component 200 , so that the second structure layer can at least cover the third surface of the second component 200 along the arrangement direction of the first component and the second component 200 .

[0106] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the edge of the second structural layer (at least one of the first flexible layer 130 and the second flexible layer 140) can have a second distance A with the edge of the first flexible member 121, so that there is a gap between the housing of the electronic device and the second structural layer. The gap can be filled with glue, such as Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown. The colloid filling the gap formed by the second spacing A can be an integrated structure with the flexible structural layer 120, that is, in the operation of forming the flexible structural layer 120 by filling the glue, the gap formed by the second spacing A can be filled. The colloid filling the gap formed by the second spacing A can also be relatively independent from the flexible structural layer 120. And, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the first structural layer 110 includes a first portion 111 and a second portion 113, the bending portion 123 is located between the first portion 111 and the second portion 113, and the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 of the first structural layer 110 are coplanar with the side of the bending portion 123 of the flexible structural layer 120 away from the second component 200. The first structural layer 110 may also be configured as other structures, such as Fig.19and Fig. 20 As shown, the first structural layer 110 includes a first portion 111 , a flexible portion 112 and a second portion 113 .

[0107] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in other embodiments, the first portion 111 and the second portion 113 of the first structural layer 110 are coplanar with a side of the bending portion 123 of the flexible structural layer 120 away from the second component 200, and the second structural layer includes a first flexible layer 130, which can be HC (hard coating, anti-scratch coating) to provide anti-scratch protection for the first structural layer 110.

[0108] As in the previous embodiment, the edge of the first flexible layer 130 can be aligned with the edge of the first flexible member 121. That is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the combined structure formed by the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120 overlaps with the projection of the first flexible layer 130 and the edges are aligned. Since the first flexible member 121 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the first structural layer 110, the edge of the first flexible layer 130 extends out of the first structural layer 110. That is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the first structural layer 110 is located within the projection of the second structural layer and there is a certain distance between the edges of the two projections.

[0109] The edge of the first flexible layer 130 may not be aligned with the edge of the first flexible member 121. For example, the edge of the first structural layer 110 may be aligned with the edge of the second structural layer, or the edge of the first structural layer 110 may exceed the edge of the second structural layer. Fig.11 As shown, the edge of the first flexible layer 130 can have a second distance A with the edge of the first flexible member 121, that is, along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the edge of the first flexible layer 130 is located within the projection of the combined structure formed by the first structural layer 110 and the flexible structural layer 120.

[0110] The edge of the first component 100 exceeds the edge of the second component 200 by a first distance C, so that the first component 100 can completely cover the second component 200 to protect the second component 200 .

[0111] Furthermore, the edge of the second structure layer exceeds the edge of the second component 200 , so that the second structure layer can at least cover the third surface of the second component 200 along the arrangement direction of the first component and the second component 200 .

[0112] In the display component provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second component 200 may include a display layer 220, a first film layer 210 located on a side of the display layer 220 close to the first component 100, and a second film layer 230 located on a side of the display layer 220 away from the first component 100, wherein the first film layer 210 may be POP (PET on panel, front film material of the display screen), and the second film layer 230 may be BFL (Back Film layer, back film material of the display screen).

[0113] Furthermore, in order to improve the overall support of the display assembly, a support plate may be further provided on the side of the second component 200 facing away from the first component 100, such as at least one of the first support plate 700 and the second support plate 800. The first support plate 700 may be a display back support plate without holes, and the second support plate 800 may be a display back support plate with holes. Along the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, the projection of the support plate may be located within the projection of the second component 200.

[0114] The embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device, including a body 300 and a display assembly; wherein the body 300 includes a first body and a second body, and the first body is movably connected to the second body. That is, the first body and the second body can move relative to each other to achieve a posture change of the electronic device.

[0115] The display assembly includes a first component 100 and a second component 200. The first component 100 has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and light can pass through along the arrangement direction of the first surface and the second surface; the first component 100 has a support structure 101 and a flexible structure 102 connected to the support structure 101, and the flexible structure 102 can be bent; the second component 200 has a third surface for outputting image information, the third surface is arranged opposite to the second surface, the support structure 101 can provide support force for the second component 200, and the orthographic projection area of ​​the first component 100 along the first direction can cover the third surface, the first direction is the arrangement direction of the first component 100 and the second component 200, and the part of the second component 200 corresponding to the flexible structure 102 can be bent;

[0116] The support structure 101 has a first side connected to the first body and a second side connected to the second body, and the movable connection area between the first body and the second body corresponds to the flexible structure 102 .

[0117] During the change of the posture of the electronic device, the first body and the second body move relative to each other and the flexible structure 102 of the display assembly is bent to change the structure of the flexible structure 102. For example, the display assembly has a flat first form and a folded second form, and the posture of the electronic device also has a first posture and a second posture. In the first posture, the first body and the second body are relatively unfolded and the display assembly is in the first form; in the second posture, the first body and the second body are relatively folded and the display assembly is in the second form.

[0118] like Figure 2 As described, both sides of the flexible structure 102 have support structures 101, the support structure 101 on one side has a first side connected to the first body, and the support structure 101 on the other side has a second side connected to the second body. Through the relative movement of the first body and the second body, the flexible structure 102 is bent to change the structure of the flexible structure 102.

[0119] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the edge of the display component is directly connected to the first body and the second body, and the first body and the second body have a groove structure for limiting the display component.

[0120] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, taking the first body as the body 300 that is at least partially directly connected to the edge of the display component as an example, the edge of the display component can be the edge of the first component 100 (support structure 101), and the edge of the display component is at least partially directly connected to the body 300 by pasting connecting components such as fixing agent 400. Among them, the first body has a groove structure, so that the display component can be at least partially embedded in the groove structure, and the first component 100 of the display component can be connected with the inner wall of the groove structure (such as a stepped surface), and the side wall of the groove structure can play the role of limiting the display component. Among them, the side wall of the groove structure can be used as a limit to the display component in Figure 3 The limiting structure for horizontal movement is shown.

[0121] The edge of the display assembly can also be directly connected to the first body and the second body, and the electronic device also has a limiting frame 600 connected to the first body and the second body and used to limit the display assembly. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the main body 300 is directly connected to the edge of the display assembly (such as the edge of the support structure 101 of the first component 100) by pasting a fixing agent 400 and other connecting components, and the limiting frame 600 is connected to the main body 300 to play the role of limiting the display assembly. Figure 4A and Figure 4B The limiting structure for horizontal movement is shown.

[0122] Taking the electronic device as a folding screen mobile phone as an example, the middle area is the bendable part corresponding to the flexible structure 102. When the posture of the folding screen mobile phone changes, along the up and down direction (the arrangement direction of the support structure 101 on both sides of the flexible structure 102), the upper edge and the lower edge (such as Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown in FIG. 1 , the displacement of the main body 300 is relatively large, and a limit frame 600 can be set only at the upper and lower edges of the main body 300 to limit the display component; and the two side edges of the display component (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the displacement amount relative to the main body 300 is relatively effective, and the display component can be limited by the side wall of the groove structure.

[0123] The edge of the display component (first component 100) along the arrangement direction of the support structure 101 and the flexible structure 102 is the bending side of the display component, and the edge of the display component (first component 100) connected to the bending side is the non-bending side. It can be understood that in the process of the posture of the electronic device changing, the displacement of the display component relative to the body 300 is large, so the limiting frame 600 can be set only on the non-bending side of the display component to limit the position of the two ends of the display component along the arrangement direction of the support structure 101 and the flexible structure 102.

[0124] In an embodiment where the electronic device is a small folding screen mobile phone, the bending side is the left and right sides of the small folding screen mobile phone, and the non-bending side is the upper and lower sides of the small folding screen mobile phone. Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, in an embodiment of a small folding screen mobile phone, the limiting frame 600 is located at the upper and lower sides of the small curved screen mobile phone.

Figure 4A and Figure 4C As described above, in an embodiment of a dual-folding screen mobile phone, the limiting frame 600 is located on the left and right sides of the dual-folding screen mobile phone.

[0126] In order to further increase the display area of ​​the display component and reduce the area of ​​the display surface (first surface) of the display component blocked by other components of the electronic device, the upper and lower edges and both side edges of the display component can also be directly connected to the first body and the second body, and the first body and the second body have a groove structure for limiting the display component. Figure 8 , Fig. 9A , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the upper and lower edges of the display components (such as Fig. 9A and Fig.14The upper and lower parts of the display component are limited by the side walls of the groove structure, and the two side edges of the display component (as shown) Figure 8 and Fig.13 (as shown) the two sides of the display component are limited by the side walls of the groove structure.

[0127] The edge of the display component (first component 100) along the arrangement direction of the support structure 101 and the flexible structure 102 is the bending side of the display component, and the edge of the display component (first component 100) connected to the bending side is the non-bending side.

[0128] In an embodiment where the electronic device is a small folding screen mobile phone, the bending side is the left and right sides of the small folding screen mobile phone, and the non-bending side is the upper and lower sides of the small folding screen mobile phone. Fig. 9A and Fig. 9B As shown, in an embodiment of a small folding screen mobile phone, the upper and lower sides and the left and right sides of the small curved screen mobile phone are limited by the side walls of the groove structure.

[0129] In an embodiment where the electronic device is a dual-folding screen mobile phone or a triple-folding screen mobile phone, the bending side is the upper and lower sides of the electronic device, and the non-bending side is the upper and lower sides of the small bending screen mobile phone.
