Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flexible screen electronic terminal design, in particular to a flexible screen folding mobile phone design technology, and specifically to a flexible screen bending hinge with synchronized length units. Background Art
[0002] Compared to traditional backlight screens (LCDs), flexible screens (OLEDs) are self-luminous, achieving excellent image quality, natural color rendering, and eliminating the harmful effects of blue light. They are also flexible, bendable, and foldable. They are also lightweight, heat-free, and comfortable to the touch, enabling the creation of a variety of screen forms, including flexible, curved, and foldable, meeting the evolving needs of mobile phones. In the future, flexible screens will see widespread adoption as personal smart devices continue to penetrate the market. They can also be used in a variety of flexible screen electronic terminal products, such as tablets, monitors, and smart wearable devices.
[0003] Flexible screens are typically composed of multiple layers of polymer materials and OCA optical adhesive. A complete flexible display screen composed of these multiple layers forms multiple neutral layers within its stacked structure. Due to the multi-layered structure, the different layers of a flexible display screen experience variations in elasticity, resulting in an irregular bending trajectory. When used in foldable phones, flexible screens must exhibit excellent plasticity and ductility. The key challenges lie in whether the screen remains crease-free and undamaged after repeated stretching and compression, and whether the circuit boards and components within the phone can withstand folding and bending. Furthermore, the entire foldable phone's screen's bending area is connected to the midframe or housing with a precision hinge to achieve both bending and support. Furthermore, the hinge must be durable and reliable, capable of withstanding 200,000 folds without error. The angle of contact between the hinge and the screen is a key technical challenge for foldable phones, and low processing yield and high costs also urgently need to be addressed.
[0004] To meet the above functions, precise microstructure hinges are needed. The current hinges can basically achieve simple functions of damping torque and synchronization. They cannot completely solve the problem of eliminating creases and ensuring service life, and cannot meet the high precision and cost requirements of industrial manufacturing.
[0005] At present, electronic terminals using flexible screens require effective space saving, mainly to improve user experience and make them light and thin for easy use. This puts higher requirements on the hinges that achieve bending and rotation. Utility Model Content
