Abstract

A manufacturing method of display panel, an electronic equipment, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes forming a buffer on at least one portion of a first base, wherein the first base is a substrate located in the bending area; forming a first flexible substrate on the buffer; forming display units on the first flexible substrate; and removing the buffer from the first flexible substrate, so that a groove is formed on the first flexible substrate at a position corresponding to the buffer.

Claims (41)

1. A manufacturing method of a display panel, wherein the display panel includes a display area and a bending area, and the manufacturing method comprises steps of:

forming a buffer on at least one portion of a first base, wherein the first base is a substrate located in the bending area, and the buffer is made by nano-imprinting or melting;

forming a release film on an upper surface of the buffer;

forming a first flexible substrate on the buffer having the release film;

forming display units on the first flexible substrate; and

removing the release film to separate the buffer from the first flexible substrate, so that a groove is formed on the first flexible substrate at a position corresponding to the buffer.

2. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the step of removing the release film includes:

dissolving or melting the release film to remove the release film.

3. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer includes at least one buffer portion, and the number of the groove corresponds to the number of the buffer portion.

4. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 3 , wherein a shape of a longitudinal cross-section of the buffer portion is at least one of a rectangle, a triangle, a semicircle, a trapezoid, and a polygon.

5. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the step of forming the buffer on the at least one portion of the first base includes:

forming the buffer on the entire first base.

6. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the step of forming the display units on the first flexible substrate includes:

forming a barrier layer on the first flexible substrate; and

forming the display units on the barrier layer.

7. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the step of forming the display units on the barrier layer includes:

forming a second flexible substrate on the barrier layer; and

forming the display units on the second flexible substrate.

8. A manufacturing method of a display panel, wherein the display panel includes a display area and a bending area, and the manufacturing method comprises steps of:

forming a buffer on at least one portion of a first base, wherein the first base is a substrate located in the bending area;

forming a first flexible substrate on the buffer;

forming display units on the first flexible substrate; and

removing the buffer from the first flexible substrate, so that a groove is formed on the first flexible substrate at a position corresponding to the buffer.

9. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 8 , wherein before the step of forming a first flexible substrate on the buffer, the manufacturing method further includes:

forming a release film on an upper surface of the buffer;

the step of removing the buffer from the first flexible substrate includes:

removing the release film to separate the buffer from the first flexible substrate.

10. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the step of removing the release film includes:

dissolving or melting the release film to remove the release film.

11. The manufacturing method of display panel according to claim 8 , wherein the buffer includes at least one buffer portion, and the number of the groove corresponds to the number of the buffer portion.

12. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 11 , wherein a shape of a longitudinal cross-section of the buffer portion is at least one of a rectangle, a triangle, a semicircle, a trapezoid, and a polygon.

13. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 8 , wherein the step of forming the buffer on the at least one portion of a first base includes:

forming the buffer on the entire first base.

14. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 8 , wherein the step of forming the display units on the first flexible substrate includes:

forming a barrier layer on the first flexible substrate; and

forming the display units on the barrier layer.

15. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 14 , wherein the step of forming the display units on the barrier layer includes:

forming a second flexible substrate on the barrier layer; and

forming the display units on the second flexible substrate.

16. The manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 8 , wherein the buffer is made by nano-imprinting or melting.

17. An electronic equipment, including a controller and a memory configured to store instructions, wherein the controller is configured to execute the instructions to implement the manufacturing method of the display panel according to claim 1 .
