AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The support components of existing foldable electronic devices are usually made of metal, which results in heavy weight and large thickness, making it difficult to achieve lightweight and thin design. At the same time, metal support components affect the light and shadow effect of the display panel, and non-metallic support components lack rigidity, making it difficult to guarantee structural strength and bending performance.

Method used

The support component design employs a layered arrangement of metal and non-metal layers. The integrated molding structure reduces the number of adhesive layers, achieving a balance between lightweight, thinness, and structural stability. The metal layer has a high surface flatness to ensure light and shadow effects, while the non-metal layer's fiber material enhances structural strength. Holes and filler layers are incorporated to adjust the elastic modulus for easy bending.

Benefits of technology

This design achieves lightweight and thinner support components while improving structural strength and bending performance, preventing interlayer delamination, ensuring the light and shadow effects and structural reliability of the display module, and extending its service life.

Abstract

Provided in the present application are a support member, a display module and an electronic device. The support member comprises a first straight portion, a bent portion and a second straight portion which are connected in a first direction, wherein the bent portion is located between the first straight portion and the second straight portion. The support member can bend at the bent portion. The support member comprises a non-metallic layer and a first metal layer which are stacked in a second direction, wherein the first metal layer and the non-metallic layer are integrally formed; and the first direction intersects with the second direction. The support member of the present application is lightweight and thin.
