Abstract

This application provides a laminated display module and an electronic device, including a cover layer, a thin film packaging layer, a display layer, and a support membrane layer that are sequentially covered through lamination from top to bottom. The cover layer includes a smooth region and two curved surface regions along a longitudinal direction. The two curved surface regions are respectively located on two sides of the smooth region, where each curved surface region includes one bending region, and each bending region is projected onto the support membrane layer to form a projection region. The support membrane layer includes a main support region and two side support regions along a longitudinal direction, and a gap is provided between either of the side support regions and the main support region.
