Abstract

The present disclosure provides an attachment fixture, an attachment device and an attachment method. An attachment slider for attaching a flexible display panel to a curved-surface cover plate includes: at least one rigid shape-copying plate, at least a portion of an outer surface of the shape-copying plate being a shape-copying curved surface through which the flexible display panel copies a shape of the curved-surface cover plate, an elastic buffer layer being provided on the shape-copying curved surface; and at least one rigid support plate attached to the shape-copying plate, the support plate being angled relative to the shape-copying plate by an angle.

Claims (32)

1 . An attachment slider for attaching a flexible display panel to a curved-surface cover plate, comprising:

at least one rigid shape-copying plate, at least a portion of an outer surface of the shape-copying plate being a shape-copying curved surface through which the flexible display panel copies a shape of the curved-surface cover plate, an elastic buffer layer being provided on the shape-copying curved surface; and

at least one rigid support plate attached to the shape-copying plate, the support plate being angled relative to the shape-copying plate by an angle,

wherein the support plate is provided with a connection hole through which the support plate is connected to a driving mechanism for driving the support plate to move.

2 . The attachment slider according to claim 1 , wherein the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate comprises a first shape-copying plane and a second shape-copying plane arranged opposite to each other, and a first shape-copying arc surface connected between the first shape-copying plane and the second shape-copying plane.

3 . The attachment slider according to claim 2 , wherein the first shape-copying arc surface is a semi-circular arc surface, a semi-elliptical arc surface, a major-arc surface or a major-arc elliptical surface.

4 . The attachment slider according to claim 3 , wherein the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate further comprises a second shape-copying arc surface at an edge of the second shape-copying plane away from the first shape-copying arc surface.

5 . The attachment slider according to claim 4 , wherein the second shape-copying arc surface is a minor-arc surface or a minor-arc elliptical surface.

6 . The attachment slider according to claim 2 , wherein the support plate is connected to the first shape-copying plane and is formed integrally with the shape-copying plate.

7 . The attachment slider according to claim 2 , wherein an angle between the support plate and the shape-copying plate is 90°±10°.

8 . The attachment slider according to claim 6 , wherein a through hole penetrating through the support plate is formed at a position where the shape-copying plate is connected to the support plate, and when a bearing film is spread out on the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate, one end of the bearing film passes through the through hole and spreads out on the first shape-copying plane.

9 . An attachment device for attaching a flexible display panel to a curved-surface cover plate, comprising:

a bearing film, the flexible display panel being attached onto one surface of the bearing film;

a cover plate bearing member configured to bear and fix the curved-surface cover plate;

an attachment slider comprising at least one rigid shape-copying plate, at least a portion of an outer surface of the shape-copying plate being a shape-copying curved surface through which the flexible display panel copies a shape of the curved-surface cover plate, an elastic buffer layer being provided on the shape-copying curved surface; and at least one rigid support plate attached to the shape-copying plate, the support plate being angled relative to the shape-copying plate by an angle; and

a driving mechanism for driving the attachment slider to move.

10 . The attachment device according to claim 9 , wherein the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate comprises a first shape-copying plane and a second shape-copying plane arranged opposite to each other, and a first shape-copying arc surface connected between the first shape-copying plane and the second shape-copying plane;

a through hole penetrating through the support plate is formed at a position where the shape-copying plate is connected to the support plate, the bearing film supported on the first shape-copying plane extends through the through hole, the flexible display panel is attached to the bearing film, and the bearing film spreads out on the first shape-copying plane after passing through the through hole; and

the attachment device further comprises a first clamping member and a second clamping member, the bearing film comprises a feeding end and a receiving end, the bearing film is configured to be spread out and supported on the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate, the feeding end extends through the through hole and is clamped by the first clamping member, and the receiving end is clamped by the second clamping member.

11 . An attachment method for attaching a flexible display panel to a curved-surface cover plate using the attachment device according to claim 9 , comprising:

enabling the curved-surface cover plate to be born and fixed on a cover plate bearing member;

enabling the bearing film to which the flexible display panel is attached on a shape-copying curved surface of a shape-copying slider;

aligning the shape-copying slider with the curved-surface cover plate so that a surface of the bearing film to which the flexible display panel is attached faces an inner surface of the curved-surface cover plate; and

controlling the shape-copying slider to move so that the flexible display panel is attached to the curved-surface cover plate.

12 . The attachment device according to claim 9 , wherein the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate comprises a first shape-copying plane and a second shape-copying plane arranged opposite to each other, and a first shape-copying arc surface connected between the first shape-copying plane and the second shape-copying plane.

13 . The attachment device according to claim 12 , wherein the first shape-copying arc surface is a semi-circular arc surface, a semi-elliptical arc surface, a major-arc surface or a major-arc elliptical surface.

14 . The attachment device according to claim 13 , wherein the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate further comprises a second shape-copying arc surface at an edge of the second shape-copying plane away from the first shape-copying arc surface.

15 . The attachment device according to claim 14 , wherein the second shape-copying arc surface is a minor-arc surface or a minor-arc elliptical surface.

16 . The attachment device according to claim 12 , wherein the support plate is connected to the first shape-copying plane and is formed integrally with the shape-copying plate.

17 . The attachment device according to claim 12 , wherein an angle between the support plate and the shape-copying plate is 90°±10°.

18 . The attachment device according to claim 16 , wherein a through hole penetrating through the support plate is formed at a position where the shape-copying plate is connected to the support plate, and when a bearing film is spread out on the shape-copying curved surface of the shape-copying plate, one end of the bearing film passes through the through hole and spreads out on the first shape-copying plane.

19 . The attachment device according to claim 9 , wherein the support plate is provided with a connection hole through which the support plate is connected to a driving mechanism for driving the support plate to move.
