Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of flexible display technology and provides a flexible display panel, a method for manufacturing the same, and a display device, which can reduce the stress in the direction perpendicular to the bending surface applied on a portion of the signal lead wire located in the bending area when the flexible display panel is bent. The flexible display panel includes a flexible basal substrate including a first surface, the first surface including a bending area provided with a plurality of protrusions, and a signal lead wire located on a side of the first surface facing away from the flexible basal substrate. The signal lead wire extends across the bending area and has a shape substantially matching the plurality of protrusions.

Claims (24)

1. A flexible display panel, comprising:

a flexible basal substrate comprising a first surface, the first surface comprising a bending area provided with a plurality of protrusions, the first surface comprising the plurality of protrusions;

a signal lead wire on a side of the first surface facing away from the flexible basal substrate;

a second insulating layer in direct contact with the bending area of the first surface; and

a third insulating layer on the first surface and outside the bending area,

wherein the signal lead wire extends across the bending area and has a shape substantially matching the plurality of protrusions,

wherein a portion of the signal lead wire in the bending area is on a surface of the second insulating layer facing away from the flexible basal substrate, a portion of the signal lead wire outside the bending area is on a surface of the third insulating layer facing away from the flexible basal substrate,

wherein the plurality of protrusions and the second insulating layer form an intermeshing structure,

wherein in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the flexible basal substrate, a thickness of the third insulating layer is larger than a thickness of the second insulating layer,

wherein the first surface further comprises a display area and a pad area, and

wherein the bending area is between the display area and the pad area.

2. The flexible display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second insulating layer comprises an organic insulating material, and

wherein in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the flexible basal substrate, a height of the plurality of protrusions is in a range of 100 nm to 400 nm, and a thickness of the second insulating layer is in a range of 300 nm to 800 nm.

3. The flexible display panel according to claim 1 , wherein in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the flexible basal substrate, a cross-sectional shape of the protrusions is one of a triangle, a trapezoid, a column, or an inclined column.
