Detailed implementation manners

[0019] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are simply described. As those skilled in the art can recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the concept or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and the description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0020] In the current era of rapid development of electronic devices, laptops and tablet computers, as important tools for people's daily work, study and entertainment, are constantly moving towards the direction of being thinner and lighter. The thinner and lighter design not only meets the users' pursuit of portability, but also improves the aesthetic degree and user experience of the products to a certain extent.

[0021] For notebooks and tablets, the use of flexible OLED screens has become the preferred solution for achieving thinness and lightness. Flexible OLED has many advantages such as self-luminescence, bendability, high contrast, and bright colors. Compared with traditional LCD screens, it can effectively reduce the thickness and weight of the screen without sacrificing the display effect. At the same time, in order to further reduce the overall weight of the module, the thinning process of module materials such as CG (Cover Glass) is a key step. By thinning these materials, the thickness of the module can be significantly optimized, thus laying the foundation for the thinness of the entire machine.

[0022] However, in the actual production process, as the support materials such as CG are thinned, a thorny problem gradually emerges - the module warping phenomenon. When the support material is thinned, its physical properties change to a certain extent. During the module bonding process, the bonding pressure is difficult to be evenly distributed. This uneven pressure will directly lead to uneven stress distribution inside the adhesive. Since the adhesive is the key part that tightly connects the various components together, the uneven stress makes it impossible for the adhesive to maintain the stable state of the various components after curing, which in turn causes the finished module to bend and deform, which is the so-called module warping.

[0023] The emergence of module warping has brought major challenges to the process of thinning and lightening notebooks and tablet computers. The module warping problem has become a key problem that needs to be solved in the process of thinning and lightening notebook and tablet computer modules. Solving this problem requires in-depth research and exploration in multiple fields such as material science, process engineering, and mechanical analysis. By optimizing material properties, improving bonding processes, and designing reasonable module structures, we can find effective solutions to promote the continuous development of notebooks and tablet computers on the road to thinning and lightening, and meet the market demand for thinner and higher-quality electronic devices.

[0024] The present application provides a flexible OLED display module warping processing device, based on which the warped module can be placed on the lower fixture stage with the display surface facing downward, and then the upper fixture is used to press down the CG frame parts on the left and right sides of the module, avoiding the PNL (Panel, display panel), so that the display module is bent in the opposite direction of the warping, and left to stand. Since the glue in the module stack will creep during bending, the stress will be balanced again after the fixture is removed, and the warping of the module will be offset at the same time. By setting the corresponding bending compensation amount for modules in different warping states, the purpose of reducing the warping of the OLED display module can be achieved.

[0025] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following describes the related technologies of the embodiments of the present application. The following related technologies can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the foregoing technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The several specific embodiments listed may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] An embodiment of the present application provides a warping treatment device for a flexible OLED display module. As Figure 1 shown in the structural schematic diagram of a warping treatment device for a flexible OLED display module according to an embodiment of the present application, the device may include: an upper jig and a lower jig; the upper jig includes a first pressing part 101, a second pressing part 102 and a connecting part 103, the first pressing part and the second pressing part are connected by the connecting part, and a cavity is formed by a first surface 104 of the first pressing part, a second surface 105 of the second pressing part and a third surface 106 of the connecting part; the lower jig includes a carrier 201, the carrier includes a supporting surface 202, a first fixing part 203, a second fixing part 204, a first bearing surface 205 corresponding to the first pressing part and a second bearing surface 206 corresponding to the second pressing part, the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are oppositely arranged on both sides of the supporting surface, and the first fixing part and the second fixing part are respectively adjacent to the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface at both ends of the carrier.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, the upper jig and the lower jig are used to cooperate to adjust the flexible OLED display module in the direction opposite to the warping direction. Considering that the warping direction is usually the non-display surface, the display surface of the flexible OLED display module with warping can be placed face down on the supporting surface of the carrier of the lower jig, and by controlling the connecting part of the upper jig to drive the first pressing part and the second pressing part of the upper jig to move downward to the lower jig at the same time until the first pressing part and the second pressing part of the upper jig respectively contact both ends of the flexible OLED display module and continue to move downward a certain distance. During the correction process, the first fixing part and the second fixing part are used to prevent the upper jig from moving in the direction perpendicular to the downward pressing direction, so that the downward pressing process of the upper jig is stably carried out along the direction perpendicular to the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, the first pressing part and the second pressing part are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting part. The first fixing part and the second fixing part are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the carrier.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, refer to Figure 1, the surface of the first pressing part facing the second pressing part, i.e., the first surface, the surface of the second pressing part facing the first pressing part, i.e., the second surface, and the surface of the connecting part facing the direction where the first surface and the second surface are located, i.e., the third surface form a cavity. For example, it can be a "U"-shaped cavity. This cavity corresponds to the PNL area, ensuring that the sensitive PNL is avoided during downward pressing, preventing extrusion damage to it during the process of downward pressing and correcting the display module, and achieving damage-free protection of sensitive components.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the upper jig body can be made of a high-strength polymer composite material, which combines lightness and high strength characteristics to ensure the rigid demand during the downward pressing process. In addition, the flexible OLED display module warping treatment device provided by the embodiment of the present application can cover various warping characteristics, effectively reduce production costs in actual production, and has high production adaptability.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, for the carrier of the lower jig, aviation aluminum alloy material can be selected. After high-precision numerical control machining, the flatness of the carrier surface is guaranteed to reach within ±0.05 mm, providing a stable reference for placing the warped module. A layer of polyimide film with anti-static and low thermal expansion coefficient covers the supporting surface of the carrier, so as to maintain dimensional stability when dealing with the workshop temperature fluctuation (23 ± 2 °C). Cooperating with the strictly controlled workshop temperature and humidity environment, it creates stable conditions for the lamination adhesive of the display module to creep, and guarantees the stress balance effect. The thickness of this film can be set according to actual needs. For example, the thickness can be set to about 0.05 mm, which can not only prevent the damage of electronic components in the OLED module caused by static electricity, but also maintain dimensional stability in the temperature change environment and reduce the influence of thermal expansion and contraction on the correction effect.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, in terms of appearance, the significantly improved flatness makes the visual effect of the OLED display module better, eliminates the surface unevenness caused by warping, and improves the product aesthetics. Functionally, it reduces the display abnormalities caused by warping, such as local distortion of the picture, color unevenness, etc. At the same time, it reduces the assembly difficulty, avoids poor contact caused by warping, and improves the product assembly yield. The flexible OLED display module warping treatment device provided by the embodiment of the present application can contribute to the improvement of product quality.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, a warpage treatment device for a flexible OLED display module is provided, including: an upper jig and a lower jig; the upper jig includes a first extrusion part, a second extrusion part and a connecting part, the first extrusion part and the second extrusion part are connected through the connecting part, and a cavity is formed by a first surface of the first extrusion part, a second surface of the second extrusion part and a third surface of the connecting part; the lower jig includes a carrier, the carrier includes a supporting surface, a first fixing part, a second fixing part, a first bearing surface corresponding to the first extrusion part, and a second bearing surface corresponding to the second extrusion part, the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are oppositely arranged on both sides of the supporting surface, and the first fixing part and the second fixing part are respectively adjacent to the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface at both ends of the carrier. According to the embodiment of the present application, a flexible OLED display module with warpage can be placed on the supporting surface of the carrier of the lower jig, and by controlling the connecting part, the first extrusion part and the second extrusion part of the upper jig are driven to simultaneously extrude the frame part of the flexible OLED display module; during the extrusion process, the flexible OLED display module is bent in the direction opposite to the original warpage direction. Since the adhesive material in the module stack will creep during bending, the stress reaches a new balance after removing the lower jig, and at the same time, the warpage of the module is offset; during the extrusion process, the reversely bent display module is located in the cavity formed by the first surface of the first extrusion part, the second surface of the second extrusion part and the third surface of the connecting part, protecting the components in the display module from being extruded; during the extrusion process, the first fixing part and the second fixing part can play a role in fixing the flexible OLED display module.

[0035] In a possible implementation manner, the first extrusion part is provided with a first downward pressing contact area, and the second extrusion part is provided with a second downward pressing contact area; the first downward pressing contact area is a first groove 107, and the second downward pressing contact area is a second groove 108.

[0036] In this possible implementation manner, by respectively arranging the first groove and the second groove on the first extrusion part and the second extrusion part, the frame on both sides of the display module can be better fitted. The shape of the groove can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be a regular shape or an irregular shape, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0037] In a possible implementation manner, the first groove includes an adjacent first contact surface and a second contact surface; the second groove includes an adjacent third contact surface and a fourth contact surface.

[0038] In this possible implementation, the first contact surface, the second contact surface, the third contact surface, and the fourth contact surface can all be flat or uneven surfaces. The angle between the first contact surface and the second contact surface can be set according to actual needs, such as 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees. The angle between the third contact surface and the fourth contact surface can be set according to actual needs, such as 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees. The area of the first contact surface and the area of the second contact surface can be the same or different. The area of the third contact surface and the area of the fourth contact surface can be the same or different.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing that the first groove includes adjacent first and second contact surfaces, and the second groove includes adjacent third and fourth contact surfaces, the two sides of the display module can be better fitted to the frame.

[0040] In a possible implementation, silica gel strips are respectively provided on the first contact surface, the second contact surface, the third contact surface, and the fourth contact surface.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing customized silica gel strips on the first contact surface, the second contact surface, the third contact surface, and the fourth contact surface, the shape of the silica gel strips can be accurately fitted to the CG frames on the left and right sides of the module, and the contact width is not less than a preset value, which can be 1 mm for example.

[0042] In this possible implementation, the upper jig presses down on the contact part to customize the silica gel strips for the CG frames on the left and right sides of the module, achieving non-destructive protection for sensitive components.

[0043] In a possible implementation, the top end of the first pressing part is connected to one end of the connecting part, and the top end of the second pressing part is connected to the other end of the connecting part. As Figure 2 shown in the front view schematic diagram of the fitting state of an upper jig and a lower jig, Figure 2 the effect when the upper jig 100 and the lower jig 200 are fitted together is shown. When they are fitted together, the display module 400 can be bent in the cavity 300. The top end of the first pressing part is connected to one end of the connecting part, and the top end of the second pressing part is connected to the other end of the connecting part, thereby overall reducing the volume of the flexible OLED display module warping processing device. In a possible implementation, the middle part of the first pressing part is connected to one end of the connecting part, and the middle part of the second pressing part is connected to the other end of the connecting part.

[0044] In a possible implementation, a plurality of positioning grooves are provided on the supporting surface; the plurality of positioning grooves are evenly distributed.

[0045] In this possible implementation, multiple positioning grooves are evenly distributed over the entire area or a partial area of the support surface. The specific positions of the positioning grooves need to be set according to the positioning protrusions at the bottom of the display module. For example, in one possible implementation, multiple positioning grooves are distributed around the carrier stage, matching the positioning protrusions at the bottom of the module, achieving fast and accurate positioning with a positioning accuracy of up to ±0.1 mm, effectively preventing the module from shifting during the correction process.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the middle part of the support surface is a flat surface, and both sides of the flat surface are curved surfaces arranged oppositely.

[0047] In this possible implementation, as Figure 1 shown, the middle part of the support surface, that is, the central area of the carrier stage, is a flat surface area to ensure that the display module is not easily slid when placed. Both sides of the flat surface area are curved surface areas, so as to adapt to the bending of the display module when the upper jig moves towards the lower jig.

[0048] In one possible implementation, a pressure sensor is provided on the lower surface of the carrier stage, and a driving device connecting member is provided on the upper surface of the upper jig.

[0049] In this possible implementation, by providing a pressure sensor on the lower surface of the carrier stage, during the downward pressing process of the upper jig, the pressure on the lower surface can be detected in real time in cooperation with the pressure sensor, so as to accurately control the downward pressing parameters according to different warping degrees. By providing a driving device connecting member on the upper surface of the upper jig, it is convenient to install the upper jig on other control devices, so as to control the movement of the upper jig towards the lower jig by using the control device. Among them, the control device can be a downward pressing control system dedicated to automatically and accurately pressing the flexible OLED display module warping treatment device.

[0050] A displacement sensor can be installed on the upper jig to detect the displacement of the upper jig in real time, so as to accurately control the downward pressing parameters according to different warping degrees. It should be noted that the displacement sensor can be installed on the upper jig or near the upper jig, as long as it can ensure that the displacement situation of the upper jig can be monitored. Additionally, it should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the movement of the upper jig towards the lower jig can also be manually controlled, and the control method when the upper jig moves towards the lower jig can be selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the upper jig can drive the downward pressing action through a high-precision electric lead screw. The stroke resolution of the electric lead screw reaches 0.01 mm, and the downward pressing speed can be adjusted as needed within the range of 1 - 10 mm / s. The downward bending amount can also be adjusted manually.

[0052] In a possible implementation, the connecting portion is a rectangular body, the width of the rectangular body is the same as the length of the first pressing portion, and the length of the first pressing portion is the same as the length of the second pressing portion.

[0053] In this possible implementation, refer to Figure 3 the overall structural schematic diagram of the upper fixture and the lower fixture in the fitting state shown, Figure 4 the overall structural schematic diagram of the upper fixture and the lower fixture in the disassembled state shown, and Figure 5 the overall top view of the upper fixture and the lower fixture in the disassembled state shown. Figures 3 - 5 The yellow area shown in is the display module. The connecting portion can be a rectangular body. The width of the rectangular body is the same as the length of the first pressing portion, and the length of the first pressing portion is the same as the length of the second pressing portion. Thus, a flexible OLED display module warping processing device with a regular shape is obtained as a whole, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

[0054] In a possible implementation, when the first surface contacts the first bearing surface and the second surface contacts the second bearing surface, the distance between the plane where the upper surface of the upper fixture is located, the plane where the upper surface of the first fixing portion is located, and the plane where the upper surface of the second fixing portion is located is less than a preset distance threshold.

[0055] In this possible implementation, the preset distance threshold can be set according to actual requirements. Refer to Figure 3 , which shows the positional relationship between the plane where the upper surface of the upper fixture is located, the plane where the upper surface of the first fixing portion is located, and the plane where the upper surface of the second fixing portion is located when the preset distance value is small and the first surface contacts the first bearing surface and the second surface contacts the second bearing surface.

[0056] Next, a specific embodiment is used to illustrate the usage process of the device. The operation process specifically may include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0057] 1) Module placement: The operator wears anti-static work clothes and carefully places the warped OLED display module on the lower fixture stage in a dust-free workshop with a cleanliness of 100 levels, ensuring that the display surface faces downwards. Use the positioning groove of the stage to quickly align with the bottom positioning platform of the display module, and gently place the module to make it firmly in place.

[0058] 2) Bending application: Start the program of pressing down the upper fixture. The control system drives the electric lead screw to drive the upper fixture to press down evenly according to the preset control parameters. During the pressing process, the pressure sensor monitors the pressure value in real time. Once it exceeds the set range, it immediately feeds back and adjusts the driving current of the electric lead screw to ensure a stable and accurate pressure is applied to the CG border of the display module. At the same time, the displacement sensor accurately measures the pressing stroke, and combines with the initial warpage data of the module to ensure that the module reaches the predetermined bending degree in the opposite direction of the warpage.

[0059] 3) Static adjustment: After the pressing is completed, the module remains in the bent state and is static for 15 - 30 seconds. During this period, due to the viscoelasticity of the adhesive material in the module stack, creep will occur under the action of stress, promoting the redistribution of internal stress. The workshop environmental temperature is controlled at 23 ± 5°C, and the humidity is controlled at 50% ± 5%, providing stable temperature and humidity conditions for the creep of the adhesive material to ensure the smooth progress of the stress balance process.

[0060] 4) Fixture removal: After the static state ends, the upper fixture slowly rises and is removed at the preset return speed (5 mm / s). The operator gently takes out the module from the carrier using anti-static tweezers and transfers it to the optical detection platform to detect the flatness of the display module.

[0061] The embodiment of the present application also provides a method for warpage treatment of a flexible OLED display module, as Figure 6 shown in the flowchart of the method for warpage treatment of a flexible OLED display module according to an embodiment of the present application. The method may include:

[0062] S601, obtaining the warpage state data of the flexible OLED display module;

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the warpage state data of the flexible OLED display module refers to the relevant data of the flexible OLED display module that needs to be warped and adjusted currently. For example, it includes, but is not limited to, detailed information such as the maximum amplitude, direction, and curvature change of the warpage.

[0064] In a possible implementation manner, bending compensation covering various warpage characteristics can be formulated based on big data to guide the process standard. For example, the warpage state data of the flexible OLED display module can be obtained according to the following steps:

[0065] 1) Data collection: Sampling and warpage detection are carried out on each batch of OLED display modules, including detailed information such as the maximum amplitude, direction, and curvature change of warpage, to construct a large database sample of module warpage. 2) Model construction and analysis: The collected data is imported into professional finite element analysis software, and combined with the material properties and structural parameters of the OLED module, a reference table of bending compensation amounts for different warpage characteristics is generated. 3) Real-time compensation: During the actual production process, the warpage amplitude and direction of the current display module are measured, and based on the reference table of bending compensation amounts, the warpage state data of the flexible OLED display module is determined.

[0066] S602. According to the warpage state data, control parameters are determined, and the upper jig of the flexible OLED display module warpage processing device is controlled to move downward relative to the lower jig according to the control parameters, so as to correct the flexible OLED display module.

[0067] In this possible implementation, the flexible OLED display module warpage processing device includes a jig combination of a high-precision lower jig stage and an upper jig with an avoidance structure. Combined with technical means such as the bending compensation amount setting generated by data collection and model analysis, and a strictly controlled operation process, it achieves the technical effect of accurately applying a bending force opposite to the warpage direction to the OLED display module in different warpage states, avoiding damage to sensitive components, and efficiently adapting to diverse production requirements, thereby solving the warpage of the OLED display module caused by the manufacturing process. According to the warpage state data, it automatically matches and determines control parameters, thereby controlling the downward pressing process of the upper jig, and realizing "one-to-one" precise compensation and correction for different warped modules.

[0068] In this possible implementation, with the help of a high-precision jig design, the flatness of the lower jig stage can reach within ±0.01 mm, providing a precise reference for module placement. The downward pressing stroke resolution of the upper jig is 0.01 mm.
