Abstract

The present disclosure provides a flexible display panel and a method of manufacturing the same. The method includes: manufacturing a flexible substrate; performing a cutting at a position between at least two adjacent flexible chip bonding regions to form a strip slit or hollowed region to structurally separate and space the at least two adjacent flexible chip bonding regions; attaching a backing film and cutting away a portion of the back film at the position corresponding to the strip slit or hollowed region; and bonding a flexible chip with a printed circuit on the flexible chip. Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a flexible display panel.

Claims (29)

1. A method of manufacturing a flexible display panel, the method comprising:

manufacturing a flexible substrate comprising a display region and a bonding region for the flexible display panel, the bonding region comprising at least two flexible chip bonding regions;

performing a cutting at a position between at least two adjacent flexible chip bonding regions to form a strip slit or hollowed region so as to structurally separate and space the at least two adjacent flexible chip bonding regions;

attaching a backing film and cutting away a portion of the back film at a position corresponding to the strip slit or hollowed region; and

bonding a flexible chip and a printed circuit on the flexible chip.

2. The method of manufacturing a flexible display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the strip slit or hollowed region has a rectangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, a triangular shape, a circular shape or an elliptical shape.

3. A method of manufacturing a flexible display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the manufacturing a flexible substrate comprises manufacturing the flexible substrate on a surface of a rigid substrate; and

the method further includes:

before attaching the back film, separating the rigid substrate and the flexible substrate by a laser lift-off process.

4. The method of manufacturing a flexible display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the back film is sequentially attached, in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the at least two flexible chip bonding regions are arranged, from the at least two flexible chip bonding regions towards a position located away from the at least two flexible chip bonding regions.

5. The method of manufacturing a flexible display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises: forming pixel units arranged in an array on a surface of the flexible substrate corresponding to the display region.

6. A flexible display panel comprising:

a display region and a bonding region;

the bonding region includes at least two flexible chip bonding regions, and a strip slit or hollowed region is formed between at least two adjacent flexible chip bonding regions such that the at least two adjacent flexible chip bonding regions are structurally separated and spaced apart from each other.

7. The flexible display panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein

the strip slit or hollowed region has a rectangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, a triangular shape, a circular shape or an elliptical shape.

8. The flexible display panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein

the display region includes a flexible substrate and pixel units arranged in an array on the flexible substrate.

9. The flexible display panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein

the display region is a rectangular region, and the bonding region is an extended area formed outside a side of the rectangular region, wherein the side is any one of sides of the rectangular region.

10. The flexible display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein

the at least two flexible chip bonding regions are arranged in order along an extending direction of the side, and each of the at least two flexible chip bonding regions is enclosed and formed by a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side, wherein the second side is parallel to the first side, and the third side and the fourth side intersect the first side and the two sides and are opposite to each other.

11. The flexible display panel as claimed in claim 10 , wherein

the third side and the fourth side are respectively curved or straight.

12. The flexible display panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein

the flexible display panel is an OLED display panel.
