Cover Plate Padding for Display Bending Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing bending angle of cover plates in display devices makes it difficult to attach display substrates and heat dissipation films, leading to issues like cracks, bubbles, and edge wrinkles, which result in poor display quality.
Innovation Solution
A display panel design that includes a cover plate with a bending part, a padding part with a first curved surface that is concave towards the bending part, and a display assembly attached to the side of the first curved surface, facilitating smooth attachment and reducing the likelihood of defects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the bending angle of the cover plate is increased to achieve a more beautiful appearance and better ergonomics, then the aesthetic quality is improved, but the attaching difficulty of the display substrate and heat dissipation film increases, leading to cracks, bubbles, and edge wrinkles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing a padding part with different thicknesses at different locations. The padding part has a greater thickness at the bending part compared to other areas, creating a localized cushioning effect precisely where the bending stress is highest. This non-uniform thickness distribution allows the structure to accommodate the bending angle while maintaining attachment quality at the critical bending region.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements beforehand cushioning by placing a padding part between the cover plate and the display substrate/heat dissipation film at the bending part before attachment. This pre-positioned padding structure anticipates the bending stress and provides cushioning in advance, preventing cracks, bubbles, and edge wrinkles from forming during the attachment process or subsequent bending operations.
2Shape
If the bending angle of the cover plate is increased to achieve a more beautiful appearance, then the aesthetic quality is improved, but the heat dissipation film becomes unsuitable for firm attachment at the bending part, causing false attachment and rebound
Solution Approach 1:
The padding part has a greater thickness specifically at the bending part where attachment firmness is most critical. This localized thickness enhancement provides targeted cushioning and support, ensuring the heat dissipation film maintains firm attachment at the bending region while allowing the overall structure to achieve the desired large bending angle for aesthetic purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
By pre-positioning the padding part with appropriate thickness at the bending part before attaching the heat dissipation film, the patent creates a cushioning effect that prevents false attachment and rebound. The padding structure is in place beforehand to accommodate bending stresses, ensuring reliable and firm attachment even at large bending angles.

AI summary
A display panel and display device are provided. The display panel includes a cover plate, padding part and display assembly. The cover plate has a bending part. The padding part is provided at a bending inner side of the bending part. An extension direction of the padding part is consistent with that of the bending part, and a sectional shape of the padding part perpendicular to the extension direction is provided as a structure gradually thickening from both side edges to a centre portion. The padding part has a first curved surface being a cylindrical surface, and the first curved surface is a surface of the padding part away from the cover plate, is concave toward the bending part, and smoothly transits to the cover plate. The display assembly is provided at a side of the first curved surface away from the cover plate.
