[0058] As users have higher and higher requirements for the effective display area of ​​display screens, in order to obtain a larger screen-to-body ratio, the current mainstream technical direction is to bend the four sides of the display panel to visually achieve a full screen.

[0059] Related art display modules use highly fluid optical adhesive materials to create an optical adhesive layer and employ micro-curved designs to achieve a micro-curved display effect. However, this display module's display panel not only suffers from wrinkles in the corners during the four-curved surface lamination process, but also fails to achieve the ideal deep curvature, ultimately preventing the realization of a true four-curved display effect.

[0060] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is proposed. Figures 1 to 10 The display panel and display module according to the embodiment of the present application are described in detail. The display panel 3 is used to be directly or indirectly bonded to the cover plate 8. The cover plate 8 is a four-curved cover plate. The cover plate 8 has single curved surfaces on both sides of the first direction and the second direction. The cover plate is also provided with a shaped surface connecting two adjacent single curved surfaces. The display panel 3 and the cover plate 8 are bonded to form a display screen.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , Figure 1 A top view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 An enlarged view of portion A in the display panel is shown; Figure 3 for Figure 2 An enlarged view of the first stretching subsection in section A is shown; Figure 4 for Figure 2 An enlarged view of the second stretching subsection in section A is shown; Figure 5 for Figure 2 An enlarged view of the third stretching subsection in section A is shown;

[0062] Figure 6 for Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of the third stretching sub-portion along the EE direction is shown; Figure 7 Cross-sectional views of the third stretching sub-portion of the display panel along the EE direction provided in some other embodiments of the first aspect of the present application; Figure 8 for Figure 1 The three-dimensional diagram of the display screen formed by bonding the display panels is shown. The first stretching sub-portion B, the second stretching sub-portion C and the third stretching sub-portion D are all parts of the stretching portion 33.

[0063] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a display panel 3, which includes a main body 30 and at least one stretching portion 33, at least one stretching portion 33 is located on the peripheral side of the main body 30, and the stretching portion 33 can be stretched in the stretching direction X and contracted in the contraction direction H.

[0064] Specifically, when the display panel 3 and the cover plate 8 are attached to form a display screen with at least one arc angle, the stretching portion 33 is subjected to force at least in the stretching direction X and stretches in the stretching direction X and contracts in the contraction direction H.

[0065] In some embodiments, the display panel 3 further includes a first portion 31 disposed on one side of the main body 30 in the first direction Y and a second portion 32 disposed on one side of the main body 30 in the second direction Z. The first portion 31 and the second portion 32 are connected via a stretching portion 33. The stretching direction X is located between the first direction Y and the second direction Z, that is, the angle between the first direction Y and the second direction Z is equal to the sum of the angle between the stretching direction X and the first direction Y and the angle between the stretching direction X and the second direction Z.

[0066] Optionally, the main body 30 is substantially rectangular, the first direction Y is the long axis direction of the main body 30 , and the second direction Z is the short axis direction of the main body 30 . That is, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction Z.

[0067] Optionally, the stretching direction X intersects the first direction Y and the second direction Z respectively, and the shrinking direction H intersects the first direction Y and the second direction Z respectively.

[0068] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the stretching portion 33 includes a non-pixel region 331 and a plurality of pixel regions 333 , and the plurality of pixel regions 333 are spaced apart by the non-pixel region 331 .

[0069] Continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 7 The non-pixel region 331 is provided with a plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 , and each positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 penetrates the non-pixel region 331 along the thickness direction T of the stretching portion 33 .

[0070] The non-pixel region 331 and the plurality of pixel regions 333 both extend along the stretching direction X, and in the stretching direction X, the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 is greater than the Poisson's ratio of the main body portion 30 .

[0071] In the display panel 3 of the present application, a plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 are provided on the non-pixel area 331 of the stretching portion 33, and in the stretching direction X, the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 is greater than the Poisson's ratio of the main body 30, so that the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 of the present application is increased relative to the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion in the related art, so that during the stretching of the stretching portion 33 along the stretching direction X, the stretching portion 33 is more likely to shrink in the shrinking direction H. Therefore, the risk of wrinkles in the corners of the display screen formed by the display panel 3 and the cover plate being bonded together due to the extrusion force from the shrinking direction H during the stretching process of the stretching portion 33 can be effectively reduced.

[0072] Optionally, the non-pixel area 331 is a non-luminescent display area on the stretching portion 33, that is, the non-pixel area 331 does not have pixel units of the display panel 3; multiple pixel areas 333 are luminescent display areas on the stretching portion 33, and each pixel area 333 has a pixel unit 373 of the display panel 3, and each pixel unit 373 has a sub-pixel 379 or multiple sub-pixels 379 with different luminescent colors, and the sub-pixels 379 are used for luminescent display. The size and number of pixel areas 333 will affect the resolution and clarity of the image displayed by the stretching portion 33. Generally speaking, the smaller the pixel areas 333 and the greater the number, the higher the image resolution, which can capture more details and color information.

[0073] Exemplarily, each pixel unit 373 includes three sub-pixels 379 , which are a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel.

[0074] In some embodiments, along the stretching direction X, the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 on the side closer to the main portion 30 is smaller than the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 on the side farther from the main portion 30. That is, along the stretching direction X, the multiple positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 cause the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 to tend to increase. On the one hand, this allows the display panel 3 to meet non-zero Gaussian lamination requirements. On the other hand, during the lamination process between the display panel 3 and the cover plate 8, the farther the stretching portion 33 is from the main portion 30 along the stretching direction X, the greater the shrinkage deformation in the shrinkage direction H. As a result, the display panel 3 can be wrinkle-free at the corresponding position on the profiled surface of the cover plate, thus meeting the lamination requirements.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 gradually increases along the stretching direction X. The gradually increasing Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 is more conducive to making the corners of the display panel 3 have non-zero Gaussian curvature, that is, meeting the requirement of wrinkle-free curved surface bonding.

[0076] In some optional embodiments, the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 gradually increases and then gradually decreases along the contraction direction H. This can effectively prevent the stretching portion 33 from experiencing excessive tensile and contraction deformation near the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 . Furthermore, it can avoid requiring a special shape design for the appearance of the stretching portion 33 to accommodate the tensile and contraction deformation near the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 . This can simplify the appearance of the display panel 3 and facilitate molding of the display panel 3 .

[0077] Optionally, the shape of the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 and / or the ratio of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 may affect the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 in the stretching direction X. Specifically, different shapes of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 may result in different increases in the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 in the stretching direction X; and the ratio of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 may result in different increases in the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 in the stretching direction X and different increases in the Poisson's ratio.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, the proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 gradually increases along the stretching direction X. The greater the proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34, the more the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 increases. Therefore, the gradually increasing proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 along the stretching direction X can gradually increase the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 in the stretching direction X. That is, both the size and distribution of the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 can gradually increase the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33.

[0079] The ratio of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 refers to the ratio of the sum of the areas of the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 per unit area of ​​the stretching portion 33 to the unit area.

[0080] More specifically, the gradually increasing proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 means that along the stretching direction X, the further the stretching portion 33 is from the main portion 30, the greater the sum of the opening areas of the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 per unit area. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, Figure 3 The first stretching sub-section B shown, Figure 4 The second stretching sub-section C and Figure 5 The third stretching sub-section D shown is arranged along the stretching direction X, wherein the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the first stretching sub-section B is less than the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the second stretching sub-section C, and is less than the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the third stretching sub-section D.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, along the contraction direction H, the proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 first gradually increases and then gradually decreases.

[0082] In these optional embodiments, the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 accounts for 10% to 50%. The opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 accounting for 10% to 50% can achieve the formation of a deep four-curved display screen by laminating the display panels.

[0083] Optionally, along the stretching direction X, the proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 gradually increases within a range of 10% to 50%.

[0084] Optionally, along the contraction direction H, the proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 first gradually increases and then gradually decreases within a range of 10% to 50%.

[0085] In some embodiments, each positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 has the same shape. Compared to changing the shape of the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 to change the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33, changing the opening area ratio of multiple positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 of the same shape not only makes it easier to design the variation trend of the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33, but also facilitates the formation of the multiple positive Poisson's ratio holes 34.

[0086] Alternatively, the orthographic projection of the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 along the thickness direction T may be a quadrilateral, a circle, an ellipse, or the like.

[0087] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, among two adjacent positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the stretching direction X, the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 close to the main body 30 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 far from the main body 30.

[0088] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the length of the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 in the stretching direction X is not less than the length in the contracting direction H.

[0089] Exemplarily, the length of the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 in the stretching direction X is greater than the length in the contracting direction H.

[0090] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 in the thickness direction T is a quadrilateral, and the quadrilateral has a first diagonal line 34A and a second diagonal line 34B intersecting each other, and the first diagonal line 34A is parallel to the stretching direction X. The quadrilateral has instability, and thus the quadrilateral positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 makes it easier for the stretching portion 33 to shrink in the shrinking direction H when stretched along the stretching direction X.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first diagonal 34A is perpendicular to the second diagonal 34B. That is, the positive Poisson's ratio aperture 34 is symmetrical about at least one of the first diagonal 34A and the second diagonal 34B. Therefore, compared to some positive Poisson's ratio apertures of other shapes, the quadrilateral positive Poisson's ratio aperture 34 is more conducive to the stretching portion 33 stretching along the stretching direction X and contracting along the contraction direction H.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first diagonal line 34A and the second diagonal line 34B are mutually symmetric axes, that is, the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 is a diamond shape.

[0093] In some embodiments, the stretching portion 33 is axially symmetrical, and the stretching direction X is parallel to the symmetry axis O of the stretching portion 33. The stretching direction X is parallel to the symmetry axis O of the stretching portion 33, which, on the one hand, facilitates fitting and, on the other hand, facilitates the design of the distribution of the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34.

[0094] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of pixel regions 333 are distributed in an array in the stretching direction X and the contracting direction H.

[0095] Optionally, the contraction direction H is the row direction, and the stretching direction X is the column direction. Under the condition that the size and number of pixel regions 333 are the same, compared to the multiple pixel regions 333 being arranged in an array in the first direction Y and the second direction Z, the multiple pixel regions 333 being arranged in an array in the stretching direction X and the contraction direction H can provide a larger area of ​​the non-pixel region 331 between two adjacent columns of pixel regions 333 to provide a positive Poisson's ratio aperture 34.

[0096] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 are distributed in an array in the stretching direction X and the shrinking direction H. The plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 distributed in an array in the stretching direction X and the shrinking direction H are more conducive to the stretching portion 33 to stretch in the stretching direction X and shrink in the shrinking direction H.

[0097] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, in the shrinking direction H, the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 and the plurality of pixel regions 333 are staggered.

[0098] The staggered arrangement of the multiple positive Poisson's ratio apertures 34 and the multiple pixel regions 333 means that the multiple positive Poisson's ratio apertures 34 in each column are disposed between the multiple pixel regions 333 in two adjacent columns. This staggered arrangement of the multiple positive Poisson's ratio apertures 34 and the multiple pixel regions 333 can, on the one hand, further facilitate the stretching of the stretching portion 33 in the stretching direction X and the contraction in the contraction direction H. It can also reduce deformation of the pixel regions 333 caused by the stretching portion 33 during the stretching and contraction processes, thereby reducing distortion of the displayed image caused by the deformation of the pixel regions 333. Furthermore, because the multiple positive Poisson's ratio apertures 34 are staggered with the multiple pixel regions 333, the length of the positive Poisson's ratio apertures 34 in the stretching direction X is greater than the length in the contraction direction H. This further facilitates the formation of positive Poisson's ratio apertures 34 with a large opening area on the stretching portion 33, thereby facilitating a reduction in the number of openings in the stretching portion 33.

[0099] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, along the stretching direction X, the stretching portion 33 includes a first stretching sub-portion B, a second stretching sub-portion C, and a third stretching sub-portion D, which are arranged in sequence. Along the stretching direction, the distance between adjacent positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the first stretching sub-portion B is greater than the distance between adjacent positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the second stretching sub-portion C, and the distance between adjacent positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the second stretching sub-portion C is greater than the distance between adjacent positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the third stretching sub-portion D. This helps increase the proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33.

[0100] In order to make the opening area of ​​the multiple positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33 tend to increase, in some optional embodiments, the multiple positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 have the same shape, and the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 located in the first stretching sub-portion B is smaller than the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 located in the second stretching sub-portion C, and the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 located in the second stretching sub-portion C is smaller than the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 located in the third stretching sub-portion D.

[0101] like Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments, along the stretching direction X, adjacent positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 located in the third stretching sub-portion D are connected to each other.

[0102] To increase the proportion of the opening area of ​​the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 on the stretching portion 33, in other embodiments, the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 can be configured to have the same shape and area, and the opening density of the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the first stretching sub-portion B is lower than that in the second stretching sub-portion C, and the opening density of the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 in the second stretching sub-portion C is lower than that in the third stretching sub-portion D. That is, along the stretching direction X, the opening density of the plurality of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 tends to increase.

[0103] The opening density refers to the number of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 per unit area.

[0104] On the one hand, compared with changing the number of openings of positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 of the same shape and area to change the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33, changing the opening area of ​​the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 of the same shape is not only easier to design the changing trend of the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33, but also can relatively reduce the number of openings of the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34, thereby being more conducive to the molding of the display panel 3; on the other hand, the positive Poisson's ratio holes 34 with a small opening area have relatively little effect on the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33.

[0105] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the display panel 3 includes a flexible substrate 35, a light-emitting functional layer 37 and an encapsulation layer 39 stacked in sequence, and the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 includes a first hole 341 formed on the flexible substrate 35, a second hole 343 formed on the light-emitting functional layer 37 and a third hole 345 formed on the encapsulation layer 39, and the second hole 343 connects the first hole 341 and the third hole 345.

[0106] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the display panel 3 includes a flexible substrate 35, a driving circuit layer 36, a light-emitting functional layer 37 and an encapsulation layer 39 stacked in sequence, and the positive Poisson's ratio hole 34 includes a first hole 341 formed on the flexible substrate 35, a second hole 343 formed on the light-emitting functional layer 37, a third hole 345 formed on the encapsulation layer 39 and a fourth hole 347 formed on the driving circuit layer 36. The fourth hole 347 connects the first hole 341 with the second hole 343, and the second hole 343 with the third hole 345.

[0107] Optionally, the flexible substrates 35 are all made of polyimide material.

[0108] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, optionally, the light-emitting functional layer 37 includes a pixel definition layer 371 that defines a plurality of pixel openings 372 and a pixel unit 373 arranged at each pixel opening 372, the pixel unit 373 includes an anode 374 exposed by the pixel opening 372, a light-emitting layer 375 located on the anode 374, and a cathode layer 376 located on the side of the anode 374 away from the light-emitting layer 375 and covering the pixel definition layer 371.

[0109] The second hole 343 includes a fifth hole 348 penetrating the pixel definition layer 371 and a sixth hole 349 penetrating the cathode layer 376 . The diameter of the sixth hole 349 is larger than that of the fifth hole 348 so that the encapsulation layer 39 covers the inner wall of the sixth hole 349 .

[0110] Optionally, the fourth hole 347 is formed on the insulating layer of the driving circuit layer 36 and avoids the conductive circuit of the driving circuit layer 36 .

[0111] Optionally, the display panel may further include an elastic module layer covering the encapsulation layer 39 . The elastic module layer is adhered to the encapsulation layer 39 and changes with the deformation of the stretching portion, further ensuring that no wrinkles are formed during the bonding process of the display panel.

The first area 335 is connected to the first portion 31, the second area 337 is connected to the second portion 32, and the second area 337 and the first area 335 are spaced apart along the contraction direction H. The third area 339 connects the first area 335 and the second area 337. Figure 8 The first single curved surface 301, the second region 337 and the second portion 32 are used to form Figure 8 The second single curved surface 302 shown, the third area 339 is used to form Figure 8 Hyperboloid 303 is shown.

[0113] Specifically, Figure 1 During the bonding process between the display panel 3 and the cover plate, the stretching portion 33 stretches along the stretching direction X and shrinks along the shrinking direction H so that the third area 339 is formed. Figure 8 The hyperboloid 303, the first portion 31 and the first region 335 shown form Figure 8 The first single curved surface 301 and the second region 337 and the second portion 32 are formed Figure 8 The second single curved surface 302 is shown. The hyperbolic surface 303 corresponds to the profiled surface of the cover plate, the first single curved surface 301 corresponds to the single curved surface of the cover plate 8 in the first direction, and the second single curved surface 302 corresponds to the single curved surface of the cover plate 8 in the second direction.

[0114] Optionally, by controlling the increasing trend of the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 along the stretching direction X, a hyperbolic surface 303 with different preset curvatures can be obtained; by controlling the absolute increase value of the Poisson's ratio of the stretching portion 33 along the stretching direction X, a display screen with different degrees of curvature can be obtained, such as a micro-curved display screen or a deep-curved display screen.

[0115] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application further provides a display module, which includes a display screen having at least one arc angle formed by laminating the above-mentioned display panels 3 .

[0117] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the display module includes a support film 1 , a display screen 3 , a polarizer 5 , an optical adhesive layer 7 and a cover plate 8 .

[0118] The supporting film 1 is connected to the display screen 3 via the first optical adhesive 4;

[0122] Optionally, in order to make the display module have a preset four-curved display effect, the polarizer 5 and the cover plate 8 have the same four curved surfaces as the display screen 3. Therefore, the display module has a flat portion corresponding to the display screen 3 and a curved portion corresponding to the hyperboloid 303.
