Abstract

A display device, which relates to the technical field of displaying. In the present application, a protecting layer is provided on one side away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel, a supporting layer is provided on the side of the protecting layer that is away from the display panel, the protecting layer is provided with at least one first slot, the supporting layer is provided with a perforative second slot, an overlap region exists between an orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel and an orthographic projection of the second slot on the display panel, the orthographic projection of the second slot on the display panel is located in the curved-surface region, and a first bonding layer is provided inside the first slot and the second slot.

Claims (32)

1 . A display device, wherein the display device comprises:

a display panel;

a protecting layer provided on one side away from a light-emitting surface of the display panel; and

a supporting layer provided on one side of the protecting layer that is away from the display panel;

wherein, the display panel comprises a flat-surface region, and a curved-surface region that is located on at least one side of the flat-surface region, and an orthographic projection of the supporting layer on the display panel is located at least in the curved-surface region;

in a direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel, the protecting layer is provided with at least one first slot, the supporting layer is provided with a perforative second slot, an overlap region exists between an orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel and an orthographic projection of the second slot on the display panel, and the orthographic projection of the second slot on the display panel is located in the curved-surface region; and

the display device further comprises a first bonding layer that is provided inside the first slot and the second slot;

wherein the display device further comprises: a second bonding layer, a polarizer, a third bonding layer and a cover plate that are sequentially arranged on the light-emitting surface of the display panel in stack, and the second bonding layer, the polarizer, the third bonding layer and the cover plate are sequentially away from the display panel.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting layer is provided with second slots corresponding to the first slots one by one, and each of the first slots communicates with the corresponding second slot.

3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein in the direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel, each of the second slots comprises at least two sub-slots that are sequentially communicated, and for any two adjacent sub-slots, an orthographic projection on the display panel of a sub-slot close to the display panel is located in an orthographic projection on the display panel of a sub-slot away from the display panel.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein an orthographic projection on the display panel of a sub-slot closest to the display panel covers an orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel.

5 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein an orthographic projection on the display panel of a sub-slot closest to the display panel is located in an orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel, and all of orthographic projections on the display panel of the sub-slots of the second slot other than the sub-slot closest to the display panel cover the orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel.

6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the protecting layer is provided with at least two first slots, the supporting layer is provided with one or more second slots, and an orthographic projection of each of the second slots on the display panel covers orthographic projections of at least two first slots on the display panel.

7 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the orthographic projection of the supporting layer on the display panel is further located in the flat-surface region.

8 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a depth of the first slot is less than or equal to a thickness of the protecting layer, and the thickness of the protecting layer is 25 μm to 200 μm.

9 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the protecting layer is provided with a plurality of the first slots, and a plurality of the first slots are distributed in a row direction and/or a column direction.

10 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel is a rectangle, a length of the first slot in the row direction is 5 mm to 30 mm, and a width of the first slot in the column direction is 1 mm to 3 mm; or

a shape of the orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel is a circle, and a diameter of the first slot is 1 mm to 3 mm.

11 . A display device, wherein the display device comprises:

a display panel;

a protecting layer provided on one side away from a light-emitting surface of the display panel; and

a supporting layer provided on one side of the protecting layer that is away from the display panel;

wherein, the display panel comprises a flat-surface region, and a curved-surface region that is located on at least one side of the flat-surface region, and an orthographic projection of the supporting layer on the display panel is located at least in the curved-surface region;

in a direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel, the protecting layer is provided with at least one first slot, the supporting layer is provided with a perforative second slot, an overlap region exists between an orthographic projection of the first slot on the display panel and an orthographic projection of the second slot on the display panel, and the orthographic projection of the second slot on the display panel is located in the curved-surface region; and

the display device further comprises a first bonding layer that is provided inside the first slot and the second slot;

wherein the display panel comprises an active area, and the active area at least comprises the flat-surface region;

wherein the display panel comprises the active area, a bonding region and a bending region located between the active area and the bonding region;

the display device further comprises a bonding component provided in the bonding region, and a flexible circuit board bonded to the bonding component; and

the bonding component and the flexible circuit board are located on an opposite side of a light emitting side of the display panel, and the display panel located in the bonding region is bonded to the supporting layer.

12 . The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the active area completely overlaps with the flat-surface region; or

the active area comprises the flat-surface region and part of the curved-surface region; or

the active area comprises the flat-surface region and the entire curved-surface region.
