Flexible Display Shape Recovery via 3D Cross-Linked Member

The patent changes the physical-chemical parameters of the flexible display device by introducing a 3-dimensional cross-linked structure through curing treatment. This cross-linked structure fundamentally alters the material properties of the flexible substrate, enabling it to maintain elasticity and return to its original shape after deformation, while still allowing repeated bending and shaping operations.

The patent creates a composite structure by forming a 3-dimensional cross-linked network within the flexible substrate material. This composite approach combines the flexibility of the base material with the structural stability of the cross-linked network, achieving both adaptability and shape recovery. The cross-linked structure acts as a restoring mechanism that pulls the material back to its original configuration.

The curing treatment and 3-dimensional cross-linked structure fundamentally change the rheological parameters of the flexible substrate, transforming it from a material that permanently deforms to one that elastically recovers. This parameter change ensures that repeated shape modifications do not accumulate damage or cause displaying defects, maintaining display quality over multiple bending cycles.

The 3-dimensional cross-linked structure acts as a pre-established restoring mechanism that cushions against permanent deformation. Before any shape modification occurs, the cross-linked network is already in place to provide elastic recovery force, preventing the accumulation of deformation damage that would otherwise lead to displaying defects.
