[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0045] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, a wear-resistant coated cover plate includes a cover plate 1, with a coating structure 2 on the top of the cover plate 1. By designing the coating structure 2 on the surface of the cover plate 1, protection can be provided on the surface of the cover plate 1, achieving effective protection for the cover plate 1 itself. The detailed structure of the coating structure 2 is as follows:

[0048] The coating structure 2 includes a surface coating layer 21, a middle coating layer 22 and a bottom coating layer 23. The bottom coating layer 23, the middle coating layer 22 and the surface coating layer 21 are coated on the surface of the cover plate 1 from bottom to top to form the coating structure 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the intermediate coating layer 22 is a chromium trioxide film layer. Cr2O3, or chromium trioxide, is a material with excellent hardness and wear resistance. Using it as the material for the intermediate coating layer can enhance the mechanical properties of the cover plate 1, protect the inner coating layer (bottom coating layer 23) from external wear, and maintain a certain degree of optical transmittance.

[0050] In this embodiment, the surface coating layer 21 is a yttrium chromium oxide film layer, specifically the yttrium chromium oxide film layer material is YCr2O3. YCr2O3 has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical stability. Using it as the surface layer can further protect the internal coating layer, prevent the external environment from corroding the cover plate, and at the same time maintain the overall optical performance, making the cover plate more durable.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bottom coating layer 23 is a strontium titanate film layer, specifically SrTiO3. SrTiO3 is a high dielectric constant material with good insulation and optical transparency. As a bottom layer, it provides a stable substrate, which is beneficial for the adhesion of subsequent coatings and enhances the overall optical performance.

[0052] In summary, in this embodiment, the cover plate 1 is used to provide structural support and optical transparency, SrTiO3 is used as the bottom layer to stabilize the substrate, enhance adhesion, and optimize optical performance, Cr2O3 is used as the middle layer to enhance mechanical properties, protect the inner coating, and maintain optical transmittance, and YCr2O3 is used as the top layer to provide wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant protection and maintain overall optical performance.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Further optimizations to the wear-resistant coated cover plate provided in Embodiment 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the thickness of the bottom coating layer 23 is 50 nm - 100 nm, the thickness of the middle coating layer 22 is 20 nm - 50 nm, and the thickness of the surface coating layer 21 is 30 nm - 60 nm.

[0055] The specific thicknesses and thickness ratios of the bottom coating layer 23, the middle coating layer 22, and the top coating layer 21 can be adjusted adaptively according to the actual application scenario.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Further optimizations can be made to the wear-resistant coated cover plate provided in Embodiment 1 or 2, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the cover plate 1 has a visible area 11 at its center and a non-visible area 12 outside the visible area 11. The visible area 11 is used for the display projection of the display module below. The non-visible area 12 does not need to display the display image projected by the display screen below, but it is still transparent.

[0058] A photosensitive color-changing ink layer 13 is screen-printed on the bottom of the cover plate 1 at the position corresponding to the non-visible area 12;

[0059] The edge of the cover plate 1 is wrapped with a frame 3, which can protect the outer edges of the cover plate 1 and the coating structure 2.

[0060] This embodiment combines the above embodiments to achieve the integration of multi-layer coating technology and photosensitive color-changing ink printing technology. By layering chemical substances with different properties, the performance of the cover plate is improved in multiple dimensions. SrTiO3, as the bottom layer, provides a solid foundation for the entire coating system with its high dielectric constant and excellent insulation, optimizing light transmission. The Cr2O3 intermediate layer effectively resists external mechanical wear with its excellent hardness and wear resistance, while maintaining good light transmission. The YCr2O3 surface layer further enhances corrosion resistance and chemical stability, ensuring that the cover plate remains clear and transparent for a long time.

[0061] Furthermore, the innovative application of the photosensitive color-changing ink layer 13 on the back of the cover plate 1 allows the cover plate 1 to change color when exposed to ultraviolet light or sunlight, specifically from colorless to colored, enhancing the user's enjoyment when using this flexible display screen.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] This embodiment proposes a display module that combines the wear-resistant coated cover plate from Embodiments 1, 2 and 3 above. The specific structure of the wear-resistant coated cover plate is as described in the above embodiments, and it also includes a housing 4. The frame 3 is attached to one side of the housing 4 with optical adhesive.

[0064] The housing 4 has a display slot 41 inside, and the liquid crystal panel 5 is embedded and installed inside the housing 4 through the display slot 41. The liquid crystal panel 5 is arranged corresponding to the visible area 11.

[0065] The display slot 41 allows the image displayed on the LCD panel 5 to be projected onto the surface of the cover plate 1 for external viewing.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] This embodiment proposes a display module that combines the display module of the above embodiment four. The specific structure of the display module is as described in the above embodiment. It also includes an iron frame 6. The iron frame 6 has a backlight groove 63 inside. The iron frame 6 is embedded and assembled with the plastic shell 4. The backlight module 61 is installed inside the iron frame 6 through the backlight groove 63.

[0068] The iron frame 6 has a window 62, which is connected to the backlight groove 63. The backlight module 61 can be illuminated by the window 62 to illuminate the LCD panel 5.

[0069] The process of using the wear-resistant coated cover plate, display module and display device provided by this utility model is as follows: A bottom coating layer 23 (strontium titanate film layer, SrTiO3) is coated on the surface of a conventional cover plate 1. Then, a middle coating layer 22 (chromium trioxide film layer, Cr2O3) is coated on the surface of the bottom coating layer 23. Finally, a surface coating layer 21 (yttrium chromium oxide film layer, YCr2O3) is coated on the surface of the middle coating layer 22. This completes the coating operation of the coating structure 2 on the surface of the cover plate 1. Then, a photosensitive color-changing ink layer 13 is screen-printed on the bottom of the cover plate 1 corresponding to the above-mentioned non-visible area 12.

[0070] Through the above operations, the performance of the cover plate 1 can be improved in multiple dimensions by layering chemical coating materials of different properties. At the same time, the surface of the cover plate 1 in the non-visible area 12 can display different colors according to the light intensity or the color change of a specific light source, adding a unique sense of technology and fun to the product.
