Abstract

A foldable display device is provided by the present disclosure. The foldable display device includes a foldable display panel and a foldable cover. The foldable cover is adhered to the foldable display panel. The foldable cover includes an inner substrate, an outer substrate and a first adhesive. The first adhesive is disposed between the inner substrate and the outer substrate. A thickness of the first adhesive is ranged from 1 micrometer to 40 micrometers, and a ratio of the sum of the thickness of the first adhesive and a thickness of the inner substrate to a thickness of the foldable cover is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1. In addition, the foldable display device further includes a second adhesive disposed between the foldable display panel and the foldable cover.

Claims (22)

1. A foldable display device, comprising:

a foldable display panel;

a foldable cover adhered to the foldable display panel, the foldable cover comprising:

an inner substrate;

an outer substrate; and

a first adhesive disposed between the inner substrate and the outer substrate; and

a second adhesive disposed between the foldable display panel and the foldable cover, wherein the foldable display panel comprises a display layer and a flexible substrate, the display layer is disposed between the flexible substrate and the foldable cover, and the display layer comprises a self-emissive display element or a non-self-emissive display element,

wherein the flexible substrate comprises:

a first substrate;

a third adhesive; and

a second substrate, wherein the third adhesive is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and the first substrate is disposed between the third adhesive and the display layer,

wherein a ratio of the sum of a thickness of the first adhesive and a thickness of the inner substrate to a thickness of the foldable cover is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1, and a ratio of the thickness of the foldable cover to a thickness of the flexible substrate is greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than or equal to 1.2,

wherein a distance is between an edge of the first adhesive and an edge of the inner substrate under a non-folded condition.

2. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the inner substrate is greater than a thickness of the outer substrate.

3. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein a Young's modulus of the outer substrate is greater than a Young's modulus of the inner substrate.

4. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein the inner substrate comprises a polymeric material.

5. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein the inner substrate comprises polyimide and the outer substrate comprises glass.

6. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the outer substrate is greater than the thickness of the first adhesive.

7. The foldable display device of claim 6 , wherein a ratio of the thickness of the outer substrate to the thickness of the first adhesive is greater than 2 and less than or equal to 60.

8. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the inner substrate is greater than the thickness of the first adhesive.

9. The foldable display device of claim 8 , wherein a ratio of the thickness of the inner substrate to the thickness of the first adhesive is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 100.

10. The foldable display device of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the first adhesive is in a range from 1 micrometer to 40 micrometers.
