Abstract

A display panel, includes: a display substrate, including a display part and a bent part located on at least one side of the display part, wherein the display part includes a main display portion and a curved display portion located on at least one side of the main display portion, and the main display portion, the curved display portion and the bent part extend continuously; and the bent part is bent with respect to the display part and is disposed on a back side of the display part, the back side is opposite to a display side of the display panel, and an accommodating space is located between the bent part and the curved display portion; and a supporting part, at least partially disposed in the accommodating space and at least partially being in contact with the bent part and the curved display portion, respectively.

Claims (19)

1. A jig, applicable to a display panel, and comprising a carrier, wherein the display panel comprises a display substrate, the display substrate comprises a display part and a bent part located on at least one side of the display part, the display part comprises a main display portion and a curved display portion located on at least one side of the main display portion, and the main display portion, the curved display portion and the bent part extend continuously,

wherein, the carrier comprises:

a loading surface, which is concave and configured to accommodate the display part of the display panel, and comprises a first main surface and a second curved concave surface located on at least one side of the first main surface, wherein the first main surface is configured to accommodate the main display portion and the second curved concave surface is configured to accommodate the curved display portion;

a supporting surface, located on at least one side of the load surface, wherein the supporting surface is configured to support the bent part of the display panel, and the first main surface, the second curved concave surface, and the supporting surface extend continuously; and

a main body and a loading part disposed on the main body, wherein the loading part comprises the loading surface and the supporting surface, and a plurality of second suction holes are provided on a side of the main body facing the loading part, and the plurality of second suction holes are configured to suck the loading part onto the main body.

2. The jig according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first suction holes are provided on the loading surface, and the plurality of first suction holes are configured to suck the display part of the display panel onto the loading surface.

3. The jig according to claim 1 , further comprising a clamp, wherein the display panel further comprises a first circuit board configured to be electrically connected to the bent part; and

wherein the clamp is configured to pick up the first circuit board of the display panel and to move the first circuit board from a first position to a second position, the first position located on a side of the supporting surface away from the loading surface, and the second position being opposite to the first main surface of the carrier.

4. The jig according to claim 1 , further comprising a pressing part, wherein the pressing part is configured to press the bent part in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface of the carrier.

5. A method of manufacturing a display panel with the jig according to claim 1 , comprising:

placing a display substrate to be bent on the carrier, wherein the display substrate to be bent comprises a display part and a bent part located on at least one side of the display part, and the display part comprises a main display portion and a curved display portion located on at least one side of the main display portion, the main display portion, the curved display portion and the bent part extend continuously, and the display part of the display substrate to be bent is disposed on the loading surface, the main display portion of the display part is in contact with the first main surface, the curved display portion of the display part is in contact with the second curved concave surface, and the bent part of the display substrate to be bent is disposed on the supporting surface;

placing the supporting part on the display part of the display substrate to be bent, wherein the supporting part is in contact with the curved display portion; and

making the bent part bent to a position above the display part and be at least partially in contact with the supporting part.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

providing a first circuit board, and connecting the first circuit board to the bent part of the display substrate to be bent via a flexible circuit board;

wherein the jig comprises a clamp and bending the bent part to the position above the display part comprises:

picking up the first circuit board with the clamp, and moving the clamp with the first circuit board from a first position to a second position, so as to make the bent part bent to the position above the display part following the movement of the clamp through connection of the flexible circuit board, wherein the first position is located on a side of the supporting surface away from the loading surface, and the second position is opposite to the first main surface of the carrier.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the jig further comprises a pressing part, and after making the bent part bent to the position above the display part and be at least partially in contact with the supporting part, the method further comprises:

placing the pressing part on the bent part, and pressing, by the pressing part, against the bent part in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface, so as to press the bent part, the supporting part and the curved display portion together.
