[0036] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0042] With the continuous development of display technology, the demand for display effects of display devices is increasing day by day. How to improve the screen ratio of display devices has become a hot topic of concern in recent years.

[0043] However, most existing display devices use a single screen to display images, resulting in a monotonous overall display effect; or they use multiple screens to display images, but existing display devices with multiple screens cannot achieve a unified and continuous display effect, resulting in a relatively poor display effect.

[0044] Based on the above considerations, this application designs a display device, which includes a support body, a first display panel, and a second display panel. The first display panel is connected to the support body and includes a first main body and two first side portions, which are respectively connected to both ends of the first main body along a first direction. The second display panel is connected to the support body and includes a second main body and two second side portions, which are respectively connected to both ends of the second main body along a second direction.

[0045] The first main body and the second main body are arranged opposite each other along a third direction. Two first side portions are bent relative to the first main body along a direction close to the second display panel, and are arranged opposite each other along a first direction. Two second side portions are bent relative to the second main body along a direction close to the first display panel, and are arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Each first side portion is connected to the second display panel, and each second side portion is connected to the first display panel, so that the first display panel and the second display panel enclose a closed space, and the support body is located within the closed space.

[0046] The edges of the first and second display panels in the above technical solution are connected to form a complementary structure, so that the entire outer surface of the display device can achieve an integrated continuous display effect, thereby greatly improving the screen ratio of the display device and thus effectively improving the display effect of the display device.

[0047] The display device provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a top view of an exploded structure of a display device provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The exploded side view of the display device shown. Figure 3 This is a front view schematic diagram of a first display panel of a display device provided in some embodiments of this application.

Figure 5 This is a front view schematic diagram of a second display panel of a display device provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a display device, which includes a support body 10, a first display panel 20, and a second display panel 30. The first display panel 20 is connected to the support body 10 and includes a first main body 21 and two first side portions 22, which are respectively connected to both ends of the first main body 21 along a first direction X. The second display panel 30 is connected to the support body 10 and includes a second main body 31 and two second side portions 32, which are respectively connected to both ends of the second main body 31 along a second direction Y.

[0049] The first main body 21 and the second main body 31 are arranged opposite each other along a third direction Z. Two first side portions 22 are bent relative to the first main body 21 in a direction close to the second display panel 30, and are arranged opposite each other along a first direction X. Two second side portions 32 are bent relative to the second main body 31 in a direction close to the first display panel 20, and are arranged opposite each other along a second direction Y. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. Each first side portion 22 is connected to the second display panel 30, and each second side portion 32 is connected to the first display panel 20, so that the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 form a closed space, and the support body 10 is located within the closed space.

[0050] The support 10 is used to provide stable structural support for the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30. The support 10 may be made of metal or non-metal materials, for example, metal materials may be copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy or stainless steel, etc., and non-metal materials may be polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride or wood, etc.

[0051] The first display panel 20 can be directly connected to the support 10, or it can be fixed to the support 10 by other components. The second display panel 30 can be directly connected to the support 10, or it can be fixed to the support 10 by other components.

[0052] At least one of the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 is a flexible display panel. As an example, both the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 are flexible display panels.

[0053] In some examples, the first main body 21 and the two first side portions 22 can be a single-piece structure. On the one hand, there is no need to connect the first main body 21 and the two first side portions 22 through an additional connecting process, simplifying the manufacturing process. At the same time, compared with connecting the first main body 21 and the two first side portions 22 through an additional connecting process, the single-piece structure of the first main body 21 and the two first side portions 22 has higher structural strength.

[0054] In other examples, the first main body 21 and the two first side portions 22 can be independent components, and the first display panel 20 is formed by assembling the two first side portions 22 onto the first main body 21.

[0055] In some examples, the second main body 31 and the two second side portions 32 can be a single-piece structure. On the one hand, this eliminates the need for additional joining processes to connect the second main body 31 and the two second side portions 32, simplifying the manufacturing process. On the other hand, compared to joining the second main body 31 and the two second side portions 32 through additional joining processes, the single-piece structure of the second main body 31 and the two second side portions 32 provides higher structural strength.

[0056] In other examples, the second main body 31 and the two second side portions 32 can be independent components, and the two second side portions 32 are assembled onto the second main body 31 to form the second display panel 30.

[0057] Each first side portion 22 is connected to the second display panel 30. Exemplarily, each first side portion 22 includes a first edge and two second edges, the two second edges being connected to the two ends of the first edge along the second direction Y, the first edge being connected to the second main body portion 31, and the two second edges of each first side portion 22 being respectively connected to two second side portions 32.

[0058] Each second side portion 32 is connected to the first display panel 20. Exemplarily, each second side portion 32 includes a third edge and two fourth edges, the two fourth edges being connected to the two ends of the third edge along the first direction X, the third edge being connected to the first main body portion 21, and the two fourth edges of each second side portion 32 being respectively connected to the two first side portions 22.

[0059] In other words, the edges of the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 are aligned and connected to each other so that the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 form a complementary structure, thereby enabling the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 to enclose a closed space.

[0060] The edges of the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 in the above technical solution are connected to form a complementary structure, so that the entire outer surface of the display device can achieve an integrated continuous display effect, thereby greatly improving the screen ratio of the display device and thus effectively improving the display effect of the display device.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first side portion 22 has a first projection along the first direction X, and in the direction of the third direction Z and the direction in which the first main body portion 21 points to the second main body portion 31, the first projection has a first dimension d1 that gradually decreases along the second direction Y.

[0062] For example, the first projection is trapezoidal, which includes not only the case where the first projection is a standard trapezoid, but also the case where the first projection is generally considered to be trapezoidal in engineering.

[0063] With the first dimension d1 of the first projection gradually decreasing along the second direction Y, it helps to increase the bending angle between the second main body 31 and the second side 32 of the second display panel 30. This not only reduces the risk of local stress concentration caused by an excessively sharp bending angle between the second main body 31 and the second side 32, thus improving the reliability of the display device, but also further enhances the edge blending degree between the first side 22 and the second display panel 30, thereby enhancing the visual smoothness and continuity of the overall display interface edge of the display device.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first side portion 22 is bent in a direction away from the enclosed space, and the second side portion 32 has a second projection in the second direction Y. In the direction of the third direction Z and the direction of the second main body portion 31 pointing to the first main body portion 21, the second projection has a second dimension d2 in the first direction X that first gradually increases and then gradually decreases.

[0065] The first side portion 22 is curved away from the enclosed space to form an arc-shaped structure, making the two sides of the display device more rounded along the first direction X. This not only improves the grip of the display device but also enhances the overall visual appeal of the display device.

[0066] With the second dimension d2 of the second projection along the first direction X gradually increasing and then gradually decreasing, the second side 32 can better fit the outer contour of the first side 22, thereby improving the tightness of the edge joint between the second side 32 and the second side 32, reducing the generation of joint gaps, improving the reliability and appearance quality of the display device, and further increasing the screen ratio of the display device to a certain extent.

[0067] In some embodiments, the elastic modulus of the second display panel 30 is less than that of the first display panel 20.

[0068] The first display panel 20 has a high modulus of elasticity, which enables it to exhibit greater structural stability. The second display panel 30 has a low modulus of elasticity, which enables it to exhibit greater flexibility and adaptability to deformation, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the display device.

[0069] The above-mentioned technical solution can construct a rigid-flexible co-structure on the display device, thereby improving structural stability and reducing assembly difficulty. That is, the first display panel 20, which has a higher elastic modulus, can provide higher structural stability for the entire display device, while the second display panel 30, which has a lower elastic modulus, has better deformation capability, thus facilitating the edge connection of the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 and reducing the assembly difficulty of the display device.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second display panel 30 may be a stretchable display panel.

[0071] For example, a stretchable display panel may include a flexible substrate, a display unit, and a flexible electrical connection layer group. The display unit includes a plurality of pixel islands, which are disposed on the flexible substrate at intervals. Each pixel island includes a first electrode and a second electrode that are opposite to each other.

[0072] A flexible electrical connection layer is disposed on the side of the flexible substrate where the display unit is located. The flexible electrical connection layer covers multiple pixel islands and is in contact with and electrically connected to multiple second electrodes in the multiple pixel islands.

[0073] Understandably, a stretchable display panel is a stretchable display panel. When stretching is required, an external force is applied to the stretchable display panel. The flexible substrate can undergo elastic deformation under the action of the stretching force. Multiple pixel islands spaced apart on the flexible substrate move away from each other along the direction of the stretching force. At the same time, the flexible electrical connection layer adaptably deforms elastically and maintains coverage and electrical connection of multiple second electrodes of multiple pixel islands. The flexible electrical connection layer ensures reliable electrical connection between multiple pixel islands when the screen is stretched. In this way, the stretchable display panel can be stretched into various shapes according to actual needs to meet requirements.

[0074] Furthermore, the flexible electrical connection layer covering multiple pixel islands achieves electrical connectivity. The connection between the flexible electrical connection layer and the pixel islands is tight, making it less prone to peeling under tensile forces from all directions, resulting in reliable electrical connections. Additionally, the flexible electrical connection layer can adapt to terrain changes during stretching, and since it covers multiple pixel islands, its stretchability is greater than traditional metal wires, making it less prone to breakage and improving the tensile performance of the display body. Simultaneously, covering multiple pixel islands with the flexible electrical connection layer enhances the encapsulation effect of the pixel islands, delaying water and oxygen intrusion and extending the lifespan of the stretchable display panel.

[0075] In addition, the flexible electrical connection layer is electrically connected to multiple second electrodes in multiple pixel islands. When scanning and driving the stretchable display panel, the display of the corresponding pixel islands can be controlled by driving the first electrodes in different pixel islands to conduct electricity, so as to obtain different display patterns.

[0076] Flexible substrates can be made from industry-standard flexible polyimide materials. Polyimide materials possess excellent flexibility, resilience, expansion resistance, and stress resistance, allowing for repeated bending and stretching. They can also effectively support metal wires, making process integration highly feasible. Alternatively, flexible substrates can also be made from nanocomposite materials, polydimethylsiloxane, etc., to improve the bending stability of stretchable display panels.

[0077] Optionally, deformation holes are formed on the flexible substrate to provide more deformation space for stretching.

[0078] The display unit includes multiple pixel islands, each of which is constructed as an island-shaped structure protruding relative to the flexible substrate. The multiple pixel islands are spaced apart to reserve deformation space between any two adjacent pixel islands, allowing the multiple pixel islands to move towards and away from each other. Finally, a flexible electrical connection layer is formed on the flexible substrate to cover the pixel islands, thereby realizing the stretchable characteristics of the display panel. The multiple pixel islands can work together to display various graphic and text information.

[0079] Specifically, the pixel island includes a driving device and a display device. The driving device is disposed between the flexible substrate and the display device and is used to input driving current to the display device to control the display device to emit light. The pixel island includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer. The first electrode is located between the flexible substrate and the second electrode, and the organic light-emitting layer is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. One of the first electrode and the second electrode is a cathode, and the other is an anode. The first electrode and the second electrode can be arranged according to requirements and are not limited here. In this way, the organic light-emitting layer is located between the cathode and the anode. Electrons injected from the cathode and holes injected from the anode combine with each other in the organic light-emitting layer to form excitons. When the excitons release energy, they emit light, realizing the display function of the pixel island.

[0080] The flexible electrical connection layer assembly includes a flexible insulating layer and a flexible conductive layer. The flexible insulating layer is disposed on the side of the flexible substrate where the display unit is located. The flexible insulating layer is offset from multiple pixel islands to insulate and isolate adjacent first and second electrodes. The flexible conductive layer covers the multiple pixel islands and the flexible insulating layer, and electrically connects multiple second electrodes in the multiple pixel islands. Thus, the multiple pixel islands are electrically connected through the flexible conductive layer covering them. Understandably, the flexible conductive layer electrically connects multiple second electrodes on the side of the multiple pixel islands facing away from the flexible substrate, thereby electrically connecting the multiple pixel islands. The second electrodes can be cathodes or anodes.

[0081] Meanwhile, a flexible insulating layer is provided on the flexible substrate, which is misaligned with multiple pixel islands, so as to isolate the adjacent first electrode and second electrode through the flexible insulating layer. In this way, the first electrode and second electrode of the same pixel island are isolated, as well as the first electrode and second electrode in two adjacent pixel islands, preventing the pixel island from short-circuiting after the flexible conductive layer comes into contact with both the first electrode and the second electrode.

[0082] During the stretching process of the screen, multiple pixel islands move away from each other. The flexible insulating layer and flexible conductive layer can also adapt to the deformation, maintaining contact with the multiple pixel islands and keeping them electrically connected.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first display panel 20 may be a stretchable display panel. For specific structural details, please refer to the above content, which will not be repeated here.

[0084] Figure 7 This is a top view of an exploded structure of another display device provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The diagram shows a side view of the exploded structure of the display device.

[0085] Continue to refer to Figures 7 to 8In some embodiments, the display device further includes a first driving module 40, which is connected to at least one side of the support 10 along the first direction X, and is electrically connected to the first display panel 20.

[0086] For example, the first driving module 40 can be electrically connected to the first display panel 20 through a conductive structure. The first driving module 40 is used to provide the required driving electrical signals to the first display panel 20 in order to realize functions such as pixel control, voltage adjustment, and brightness adjustment of the first display panel 20.

[0087] The first drive module 40 can be connected to one side of the support body 10 along the first direction X, or it can be connected to both sides of the support body 10 along the first direction X.

[0088] As an example, the first drive module 40 includes two first drive members, which are respectively connected to both sides of the support body 10 along the first direction X.

[0089] The first drive module 40 can be detachably connected to the support body 10, or it can be integrally mounted on the support body 10. The first drive module 40 can be directly connected to the support body 10, or it can be constrained to the support body 10 by other components.

[0090] Optionally, the shape of the first drive module 40 may be, but is not limited to, a strip structure, a block structure or a sheet structure, and can be selected according to the actual application environment.

[0091] The internal circuitry of the first driving module 40 may include, but is not limited to, multiple functional units such as an image signal processing unit, a gate driver, a source driver, and a timing controller.

[0092] The above technical solution connects the first driving module 40 to at least one side of the support body 10 along the first direction X, and utilizes the space formed by the first side portion 22 of the first display panel 20, so that at least part of the first driving module 40 can be embedded in the local space, thereby effectively improving the utilization rate of the enclosed space inside the display device.

[0093] By strategically positioning the first driving module 40 at the edge of the display device along the first direction X, the risk of interference between the first driving module 40 and other components inside the display device is reduced. Furthermore, because the first driving module 40 is positioned close to the edge of the display device, its heat can be conducted and dissipated more efficiently, reducing the risk of heat buildup.

[0094] In some embodiments, the projection of the first driving module 40 along the third direction Z and the projection of the first side portion 22 along the third direction Z at least partially overlap. This can further improve the utilization rate of the space enclosed by the first side portion 22 of the first display panel 20 by the first driving module 40, thereby further improving the structural compactness of the display device.

[0095] For example, the projection of the first driving module 40 along the third direction Z and the projection of the first side portion 22 along the third direction Z may partially overlap, or the projection of the first driving module 40 along the third direction Z and the projection of the first side portion 22 along the third direction Z may completely overlap.

[0096] In some embodiments, the display device further includes a second driving module 50, which is connected to at least one side of the support 10 along the second direction Y, and is electrically connected to the second display panel 30.

[0097] For example, the second driving module 50 can be electrically connected to the second display panel 30 through a conductive structure. The second driving module 50 is used to provide the required driving electrical signals to the second display panel 30 in order to realize functions such as pixel control, voltage adjustment, and brightness adjustment of the second display panel 30.

[0098] The second drive module 50 can be connected to one side of the support body 10 along the second direction Y, or it can be connected to both sides of the support body 10 along the second direction Y.

[0099] As an example, the second drive module 50 includes two second drive members, which are respectively connected to both sides of the support body 10 along the second direction Y.

[0100] The second drive module 50 can be detachably connected to the support body 10, or it can be integrally mounted on the support body 10. The second drive module 50 can be directly connected to the support body 10, or it can be constrained to the support body 10 by other components.

[0101] Optionally, the shape of the second drive module 50 may be, but is not limited to, a strip structure, a block structure, or a sheet structure, and can be selected according to the actual application environment.

[0102] The internal circuitry of the second drive module 50 may include, but is not limited to, multiple functional units such as an image signal processing unit, a gate driver, a source driver, and a timing controller.

[0103] The above technical solution connects the second driving module 50 to at least one side of the support body 10 along the second direction Y, and utilizes the space enclosed by the second side portion 32 of the second display panel 30, so that at least a part of the second driving module 50 can be embedded in the local space, thereby effectively improving the utilization rate of the enclosed space inside the display device.

[0104] By strategically positioning the second driving module 50 at the edge of the display device along the second direction Y, the risk of interference between the second driving module 50 and other components inside the display device is reduced. Furthermore, because the second driving module 50 is positioned close to the edge of the display device, its heat can be conducted and dissipated more efficiently, reducing the risk of heat buildup.

[0105] In some embodiments, the projection of the second driving module 50 along the third direction Z and the projection of the second side 32 along the third direction Z at least partially overlap. This can further improve the utilization rate of the space enclosed by the second side 32 of the second display panel 30 by the second driving module 50, thereby further improving the internal structural compactness of the display device.

[0106] For example, the projection of the second driving module 50 along the third direction Z and the projection of the second side 32 along the third direction Z may partially overlap, or the projection of the second driving module 50 along the third direction Z and the projection of the second side 32 along the third direction Z may completely overlap.

[0109] By placing the camera module 60 in an enclosed space, the impact of the camera module 60 on the screen ratio of the display device can be reduced.

[0110] In some embodiments, the camera module 60 includes a controller and a camera, the camera being connected to the controller, and the projection of the camera along the third direction Z being located within the projection of the non-display area 312 along the third direction Z.

[0111] In some embodiments, the non-display area 312 is disposed on the second side 32, which can reduce the occupation of the main display area of ​​the second display panel 30, thereby further improving the display effect of the display device.

[0112] In some embodiments, the connection position of the first display panel 20 and the second display panel 30 is provided with a chamfer, specifically a rounded corner, which can improve the appearance of the display device and enhance the grip.

[0113] In some embodiments, a chamfer is provided at the connection position between the first main body portion 21 and the first side portion 22, specifically a rounded corner, which can improve the appearance of the display device and enhance the grip.

[0114] In some embodiments, a chamfer is provided at the connection position of the second main body portion 31 and the second side portion 32, specifically a rounded corner, which can improve the appearance of the display device and enhance the grip.

[0115] According to some embodiments of this application, this application also provides a terminal device, including the display device of any of the above solutions.

[0116] For example, the terminal device may be, but is not limited to, mobile phones, wireless telephones, pagers, tablet computers, televisions and other electronic devices with display functions, which will not be listed here.
