DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The utility model provides an electronic product with an ultra-thin display screen. Figure 1 The exploded structure diagram of the housing and the flexible display screen in the embodiment of the present utility model is shown. Figure 2A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the flexible display screen in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The electronic product includes a shell 10, a flexible light-emitting module 100, a flexible reflective cavity 200 and a surface film 300. The flexible light-emitting module 100, the flexible reflective cavity 200 and the surface film 300 are stacked in sequence on the outer surface of the shell 10 in a direction away from the shell 10 to form a flexible display screen 20; the outer surface of the shell 10 includes several geometric surfaces, and the flexible display screen 20 is arranged on one of the geometric surfaces; or the flexible display screen 20 is arranged on at least two or more consecutive geometric surfaces.

[0031] In the electronic product with an ultra-thin display of the present invention, a flexible display screen 20 is formed by arranging a flexible light-emitting module 100, a flexible reflective cavity 200 and a surface film 300 on the outer surface of the shell 10. The flexible display screen 20 can be arranged on one geometric surface of the shell 10 for single-sided display; the flexible display screen 20 can also be bent along the shape of the shell 10 and continuously arranged on two or more geometric surfaces for multi-sided display; moreover, the flexible display screen 20 is easy to be arranged on the surface of the shell 10, easy to produce and assemble, and has low production cost.

[0032] Specifically, the geometric surface can be a flat surface or a curved surface, and the flexible display screen 20 can be set.

[0033] When setting a flexible display screen 20 on the surface of the shell 10 of an electronic product, if the target pasting geometric surface is flat or has a small bending amplitude, the flexible display screen 20 does not need to be bent, or the flexible display screen 20 needs to be bent with a small amplitude, so that the flexible display screen 20 can be directly attached to the surface of the shell 10 as a whole without generating wrinkles; if the target pasting geometric surface is greatly curved, the flexible display screen 20 needs to be bent with a large amplitude, so that the flexible light-emitting module 100 can be first pressed tightly along the surface of the shell 10, and then the flexible reflective cavity 200 can be pressed tightly along the surface of the flexible light-emitting module 100, and finally the surface film 300 can be pressed tightly along the surface of the flexible reflective cavity 200, so as to avoid excessive local stress on the flexible display screen 20 attached to the curved part of the shell 10, thereby effectively preventing wrinkles on the flexible display screen 20 from affecting the display effect.

[0034] In other embodiments, if the target geometric surface is greatly curved, but you do not want to sequentially attach the flexible light-emitting module 100, the flexible reflective cavity 200, and the surface film 300, then the flexible display screen 20 can be pre-formed into a curved structure according to the curved portion of the electronic product housing 10. In this way, the pre-formed curved flexible display screen 20 can be directly attached to the surface of the housing 10 without wrinkles. Figure 1 and Figure 2The flexible reflective cavity 200 is provided with at least one pre-bent portion 210, the flexible light-emitting module 100 is pasted on the back of the flexible reflective cavity 200 along the curvature of the pre-bent portion 210, and the surface film 300 is pasted on the front of the flexible reflective cavity 200 along the curvature of the pre-bent portion 210. The pre-bent portion 210 is pre-formed according to the curvature of the electronic product housing 10, and the flexible light-emitting module 100 and the surface film 300 are pasted on the surface of the flexible reflective cavity 200 along the curvature of the pre-bent portion 210, that is, the entire flexible display screen 20 has a certain preset curvature structure, which can directly adapt to the curvature of the electronic product housing 10, so that the flexible display screen 20 can be directly attached to the surface of the housing 10 as a whole without generating wrinkles and without having to be pasted layer by layer, which is convenient and quick.

[0035] For example, in some electronic products, the three continuous geometric surfaces of the housing 10 form a U-shaped bend, which has a large degree of curvature. If the flexible display screen 20 that does not have a preset bending structure is directly mounted as a whole on the surface of the U-shaped bend, it will cause excessive local stress in the bend of the flexible display screen 20, which is prone to wrinkles. In order to avoid wrinkles, the flexible display screen 20 that does not have a preset bending structure can only be mounted by sequentially pasting the flexible light-emitting module 100, the flexible reflective cavity 200 and the surface film 300 layer by layer. If the flexible display screen 20 has a preset bending structure, it will directly adapt to the surface of the U-shaped bend and can be mounted directly as a whole without causing wrinkles due to excessive local stress.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, see Figure 2 The flexible light-emitting module 100 includes a flexible circuit board 110 and a plurality of light-emitting components 120 disposed on the flexible circuit board 110. The flexible circuit board 110 is attached to the back of the flexible reflective cavity 200, and the light-emitting components 120 are housed within the cavity of the flexible reflective cavity 200. The flexible circuit board 110 has excellent flexibility and can be tightly attached to the flexible reflective cavity 200. Combined with the layout of the light-emitting components 120, it can display a wide range of content.

[0037] Specifically, the flexible reflective cavity 200 is provided with a plurality of reflective cavities 220, each of which accommodates at least one light-emitting element 120. The light-emitting element 120 and the reflective cavity 220 cooperate to form a light-emitting area, which can evenly emit light toward the pattern or number on the film 300 to achieve a display effect.

[0038] Furthermore, the plurality of reflective cavities 220 include a first type of cavity, which is filled with a diffusion silicone layer that covers the light-emitting element 120. The first type of cavity is a large, elongated cavity that generally accommodates multiple light-emitting elements 120. Filling with the diffusion silicone layer diffuses light, allowing it to be emitted evenly from the cavity, thereby reducing the graininess of the emitted light. The plurality of reflective cavities 220 also include a second type of cavity, which is a small, hole-shaped cavity that generally accommodates only a single light-emitting element 120. The light output itself is relatively uniform, and there is no need for a diffusion silicone layer.

[0039] Optionally, the diffusion silicone layer includes a transparent sub-glue layer and an opal sub-glue layer stacked together, and the transparent sub-glue layer is located on the side close to the light-emitting element 120. By stacking the transparent sub-glue layer and the opal sub-glue layer, the effect of diffusing light can be effectively improved.

[0040] Optionally, the diffusion silicone layer is a milky white adhesive layer. Using only the milky white adhesive layer can also improve the effect of diffusing light, but the effect will be slightly weaker.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the plurality of light-emitting components 120 include one or both of lamp beads and LED chips. Both lamp beads and LED chips can emit light and provide good stability as light sources. Preferably, the plurality of light-emitting components 120 include lamp beads and LED chips. Replacing some LED chips with lamp beads can help reduce the use of LED chips and reduce costs.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent light-emitting components 120 is ≥0.4 mm. Generally, a larger spacing provides a more granular light output; a smaller spacing provides a finer display. While ensuring the display quality, increasing the spacing between two adjacent light-emitting components 120 can reduce the number of light-emitting components 120 used, thereby reducing costs.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, see Figure 2 The flexible circuit board 110 is provided with a gold finger cable 130, which can be plugged into the corresponding interface and is convenient and quick to use.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, the surface film 300 is provided with a color pattern layer, which can display patterns in color and is interesting.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the flexible reflective cavity 200 is made of opaque silicone or foam, which is soft and has sufficient support, is easy to shape, and is convenient to produce.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2A plurality of card blocks 230 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the flexible reflective cavity 200. The card blocks 230 are used to clamp the shell 10, which can improve the installation stability of the flexible display screen 20 and make the flexible display screen 20 not easily fall off due to force during the use of the electronic product.

[0047] Specifically, the plurality of clamping blocks 230 are distributed on both sides of the pre-bent portion 210; Figure 3 Shown Figure 1 In the enlarged structural diagram of area A, an inclined portion is provided on the side of any one of the blocks 230 away from the pre-bent portion 210, and a vertical portion is provided on the side of any one of the blocks 230 close to the pre-bent portion 210, forming an anti-slip effect similar to a barb structure.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, see Figure 2 At least one vertex of the flexible reflective cavity 200 is provided with a first positioning hole 250, and the flexible light-emitting module 100 is correspondingly provided with a second positioning hole 150. The first positioning hole 250 and the second positioning hole 150 cooperate and align with each other, which also facilitates the alignment and fitting of the flexible light-emitting module 100 and the flexible reflective cavity 200; and Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the shell in the embodiment of the present invention is shown. The outer surface of the shell 10 is provided with a first positioning structure 11. The first positioning structure 11 can be a protrusion structure such as a cylindrical protrusion or a prismatic protrusion. The first positioning hole 250 and the second positioning hole 150 are used to cooperate with the first positioning structure 11 to ensure that the flexible display screen 20 is properly fitted. The surface film 300 can be provided with a corresponding third positioning hole 310 to facilitate the alignment of the surface film 300 and the flexible reflective cavity 200. Preferably, the four top corners of the flexible reflective cavity 200 are provided with a first positioning hole 250, which has high alignment accuracy.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, see Figure 2 At least one side of the flexible reflective cavity 200 is provided with a first positioning notch 240, and the flexible light-emitting module 100 is correspondingly provided with a second positioning notch 140. The first positioning notch 240 and the second positioning notch 140 cooperate and align with each other to facilitate the alignment and fitting of the flexible light-emitting module 100 and the flexible reflective cavity 200. In addition, please refer to Figure 4 The outer surface of the housing 10 is provided with a second positioning structure 12, which can be a triangular or prismatic protrusion. The first and second positioning notches 240 and 140 cooperate with the second positioning notches 12 to ensure that the housing 10, the flexible light-emitting module 100, and the flexible reflective cavity 200 are properly aligned. Furthermore, the film 300 does not have corresponding positioning notches, thereby covering the first and second positioning notches 240 and 140, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0050] Preferably, the first positioning notch 240 is located at the upper and lower sides of the pre-bent portion 210, which helps to ensure that the pre-bent portion 210 fits in place.

[0051] In the electronic product with an ultra-thin display of the present invention, the flexible display 20 can be mounted on a single geometric surface of the housing 10 for single-sided display. Alternatively, the flexible display 20 can be bent to conform to the shape of the housing 10 and mounted consecutively on two or more geometric surfaces for multi-sided display. The flexible display 20 is easily mounted on the surface of the housing 10, making it easy to manufacture and assemble, and resulting in low production costs. Furthermore, the flexible display 20 offers clear, colorful displays, which are highly engaging and visually appealing.

[0052] The flexible display screen 20 has multiple ways of being assembled to the surface of the shell 10. If the flexible display screen 20 (without a preset bending structure) does not need to bend, or the flexible display screen 20 (without a preset bending structure) needs to bend with a small amplitude, the flexible display screen 20 can be directly attached to the surface of the shell 10 as a whole without generating wrinkles. If the flexible display screen 20 (without a preset bending structure) needs to bend with a large amplitude, the flexible light-emitting module 100 is first pressed tightly along the surface of the shell 10, and then the flexible reflective cavity 200 is pressed tightly along the surface of the flexible light-emitting module 100, and finally the surface film 300 is pressed tightly along the surface of the flexible reflective cavity 200. This can avoid excessive local stress on the flexible display screen 20 attached to the curved part of the shell 10, thereby effectively preventing wrinkles on the flexible display screen 20 from affecting the display effect. When the flexible display screen 20 has a certain preset curved structure (a pre-curved portion 210 is provided), it can directly adapt to the curved portion of the electronic product housing 10, so that the flexible display screen 20 can be directly attached to the surface of the housing 10 as a whole without generating wrinkles and without having to stick them layer by layer, which is convenient and quick.

[0053] The light-emitting components 120 and the reflective cavity 220 cooperate to form a light-emitting area, which can evenly emit light to the patterns and numbers of the surface film 300 to achieve a display effect; the reflective cavity 220 that accommodates multiple light-emitting components 120 is filled with a diffusion silicone layer, which can diffuse the light so that the light is evenly emitted from the cavity, which can reduce the granularity of the light; by using lamp beads and LED chips in combination, and controlling the distance between two adjacent light-emitting components 120, the cost can be reduced while ensuring the display effect; the block 230 structure can improve the installation stability of the flexible display screen 20, so that the flexible display screen 20 is not easy to fall off due to force during the use of electronic products; the positioning notch and positioning hole not only facilitate the alignment and fitting of the flexible light-emitting module 100 and the flexible reflective cavity 200, but also ensure that the flexible display screen 20 is fitted in place as a whole with high mounting accuracy.

[0054] In the present invention, the electronic products can be electronic cigarettes, portable speakers, hand warmers, atmosphere lights, etc., and have a wide range of applications; among them, the thickness of the flexible display screen 20 is ≥0.4mm, that is, the thinnest can be 0.4mm, which is an ultra-thin display screen, which is beneficial to reduce the weight of electronic products and make electronic products lighter.

[0055] The above is a detailed introduction to an electronic product with an ultra-thin display screen provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
