Abstract

Provided is a flexible display panel including a display portion for display and a terminal portion around the display portion, in which each of the display portion and the terminal portion includes a flexible substrate including a first main surface and a second main surface on an opposite side of the first main surface, the flexible substrate containing resin, and a wiring layer formed on the first main surface of the flexible substrate, the terminal portion includes an inclined surface inclined toward the display portion from the second main surface side to the first main surface side, and a width of the inclined surface in plan view of the flexible display panel is equal to or greater than 13.1 μm.

Claims (26)

1. A flexible display panel, comprising:

a display portion for display; and

a terminal portion around the display portion, wherein

each of the display portion and the terminal portion includes:

a flexible substrate including a first main surface and a second main surface on an opposite side of the first main surface, the flexible substrate containing a resin, and

a wiring layer on the first main surface of the flexible substrate,

the terminal portion includes an inclined surface inclined toward the display portion from a side of the second main surface to a side of the first main surface, and

a width of the inclined surface in plan view of the flexible display panel is equal to or greater than 13.1 μm and equal to or smaller than 167 μm.

2. The flexible display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the inclined surface is equal to or greater than 14.6 μm and equal to or smaller than 167 μm.

3. The flexible display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the inclined surface is equal to or smaller than 46.7 μm.

4. The flexible display panel according to claim 1 , wherein an angle between the second main surface and the inclined surface is equal to or smaller than 86 degrees.

5. The flexible display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a protection layer that covers the display portion and the terminal portion of the flexible display panel on the side of the second main surface of the flexible substrate, wherein the inclined surface includes the protection layer.

6. The flexible display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible display panel is an organic electro luminescence panel.

7. A manufacturing method of a flexible display panel including a display portion for display and a terminal portion around the display portion, each of the display portion and the terminal portion including a flexible substrate, the flexible substrate including a first main surface and a second main surface on an opposite side of the first main surface, the flexible substrate containing a resin, and a wiring layer on the first main surface of the flexible substrate, the manufacturing method comprising:

cutting, by using a laser, the terminal portion such that the terminal portion has a slope toward the display portion from a side of the second main surface to a side of the first main surface; and

cleaning, by dry cleaning, an inclined surface formed in the cutting, wherein a width of the inclined surface formed in the cutting is equal to or greater than 13.1 μm and equal to or smaller than 167 μm in plan view of the flexible display panel.

8. The manufacturing method of the flexible display panel according to claim 7 , wherein

in the cutting, a surface of the terminal portion is arranged on a defocus position shifted from a focus position of the laser, and

the laser is used to cut the surface of the terminal portion after the terminal portion is moved to the defocus position.

9. The manufacturing method of the flexible display panel according to claim 8 , wherein

output power of the laser is equal to or greater than 3 W and equal to or smaller than 10 W, and

a length between the focus position and the surface is a length equal to or greater than 0 mm and equal to or smaller than 2.0 mm toward the side of the second main surface from the surface.

10. The manufacturing method of the flexible display panel according to claim 7 , wherein, in the cleaning, a cleaning gas containing fine particles is sprayed on the inclined surface.

11. The manufacturing method of the flexible display panel according to claim 10 , wherein

the fine particles include dry ice snow, and

the cleaning gas contains a carbon dioxide gas.
