Support member, display module and electronic device
By using a support design with stacked metal and non-metal layers, the problems of heavy weight and thickness of existing support components have been solved, achieving lightweighting and thinning. At the same time, the structural strength and bending performance have been improved, ensuring the light and shadow effects and reliability of the display module.

AI Technical Summary
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.
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.
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.
