Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a flexible display device, including a flexible substrate. The substrate includes a first portion, a second portion and a bending portion connecting the first portion to the second portion, wherein the flexible substrate has a thickness T. A plurality of display pixels is located at a side of the first portion of the flexible substrate. A supporting layer is located at a side of the flexible substrate facing away from the plurality of display pixels and includes a first supporting layer corresponding to the first portion and a second supporting area corresponding to the second portion. A thickness of the first supporting layer is T 1 , a thickness of the second supporting layer is T 2 , and a width of the bending portion is W, wherein W ≥ ( 2 ⁢ T + T ⁢ ⁢ 1 + T ⁢ ⁢ 2 ) ⁢ π 2 . Therefore, a narrow border is achieved, and the problem of interference during bending is alleviated.

Claims (12)

1. A flexible display device, comprising: a flexible substrate comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a bending portion connecting the first portion to the second portion, wherein a thickness of the flexible substrate is T;

a plurality of display pixels located at a side of the first portion of the flexible substrate;

a supporting layer located at a side of the flexible substrate facing away from the plurality of display pixels, and comprising a first supporting layer, the first portion defined to be the portion of the flexible substrate abutting the first supporting layer, and a second supporting layer corresponding to the second portion, the second portion defined to be the portion of the flexible substrate abutting the second supporting layer,

wherein a thickness of the first supporting layer is T 1 , a thickness of the second supporting layer is T 2 , and a width of the bending portion is W, a bending diameter is equal to (2T+T 1 +T 2 ), wherein W≥(2T+T 1 +T 2 ) (π+2)/2;

wherein the first supporting layer comprises a first protection layer an auxiliary component arranged along a direction in which the flexible substrate faces away from the plurality of display pixels and a composite material layer arranged between the first protection layer and the auxiliary component; and

the second supporting layer comprises a second protection layer in the direction in which the flexible substrate faces away from the plurality of display pixels.

2. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a support member corresponding to the bending portion.

3. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a support member corresponding to the bending portion, wherein the support member and the auxiliary component are formed integrally.

4. The flexible display device according to claim 3 , wherein a cross-section of the support member has an arc shape and the second portion of the flexible substrate is bent along a surface of the support member having an arc shape.

5. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a driving integrated circuit corresponding to the second portion of the flexible substrate.

6. The flexible display device according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of display pixels corresponding to the first portion is arranged on a first side of the flexible substrate, and the driving integrated circuit corresponding to the second portion is arranged on a second side of the flexible substrate.

7. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , further comprising an organic light-emitting device layer and an encapsulation layer arranged in a direction in which the flexible substrate faces away from the supporting layer, and the plurality of display pixels is located in the organic light-emitting device layer.
