Abstract

A flexible display panel and an electronic device are provided. The flexible display panel may include an unbent state and a bent state. A bending part of the flexible display panel may be bent when the flexible display panel is in the bent state. The flexible display panel may include a display layer, a bonding layer, and a support layer. The bonding layer may be bonded between the display layer and the support layer. The support layer and the bonding layer may include buffer openings. The buffer openings may be positioned to at least correspond to the bending part.

Claims (33)

1. A flexible display panel comprising:

an unbent state, and

a bent state, wherein a bending part of the flexible display panel is bent when the flexible display panel is in the bent state; and

wherein the flexible display panel comprises a display layer, a bonding layer, and a support layer, wherein the bonding layer is bonded between the display layer and the support layer, wherein at least one of the support layer and the bonding layer comprises buffer openings, wherein the buffer openings is positioned to at least correspond to the bending part,

wherein the support layer comprises a piezoelectric film layer, wherein the piezoelectric film layer drives the display layer to vibrate in response to being deformed, and

wherein the flexible display panel further comprises an electrostatic protective layer, coupled to a side of the support layer and away from the display layer.

2. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer, wherein at least one of the buffer layer or the piezoelectric film layer are coupled to the display layer through the bonding layer; and

wherein when the support layer comprises the buffer openings, the buffer openings are provided on at least one of the piezoelectric film layer and the buffer layer.

3. The flexible display panel of claim 2 , wherein

the buffer layer is arranged around at least a part of the piezoelectric film layer.

4. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer, wherein the buffer layer and the piezoelectric film layer are coupled to the electrostatic protective layer and the display layer.

5. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer arranged around the piezoelectric film layer, wherein the buffer layer is coupled to the display layer and the electrostatic protective layer, and wherein the piezoelectric film layer is coupled to the display layer and is spaced from the electrostatic protective layer by a predetermined distance; and

wherein a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the electrostatic protective layer, and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber, or a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the electrostatic protective layer, the display layer and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber.

6. The flexible display panel of claim 4 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer arranged around the piezoelectric film layer, the buffer layer is coupled to the display layer and the electrostatic protective layer, and wherein the piezoelectric film layer is coupled to the electrostatic protective layer and is spaced from the display layer by a predetermined distance; and

wherein a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the display layer, and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber, or a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the electrostatic protective layer, the display layer and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber.

7. The flexible display panel of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic protective layer comprises an air vent.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a flexible display panel, wherein the flexible display panel comprises:

an unbent state, and

a bent state, wherein a bending part of the flexible display panel is bent when the flexible display panel is in the bent state; and

wherein the flexible display panel comprises a display layer, a bonding layer and a support layer, the bonding layer is bonded between the display layer and the support layer, at least one of the support layer and the bonding layer comprising buffer openings, the buffer openings are positioned to at least correspond to the bending part,

wherein the support layer comprises a piezoelectric film layer, wherein the piezoelectric film layer drives the display layer to vibrate in response to being deformed, and

wherein the flexible display panel further comprises an electrostatic protective layer, coupled to a side of the support layer and away from the display layer.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer, wherein at least one of the buffer layer or the piezoelectric film layer are coupled to the display layer through the bonding layer; and

wherein when the support layer comprises the buffer openings, the buffer openings are provided on at least one of the piezoelectric film layer and the buffer layer.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein

the buffer layer is arranged around at least a part of the piezoelectric film layer.

11. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer, wherein the buffer layer and the piezoelectric film layer are coupled to the electrostatic protective layer and the display layer.

12. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer arranged around the piezoelectric film layer, wherein the buffer layer is coupled to the display layer and the electrostatic protective layer, and wherein the piezoelectric film layer is coupled to the display layer and is spaced from the electrostatic protective layer by a predetermined distance; and

wherein a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the electrostatic protective layer, and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber, or a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the electrostatic protective layer, the display layer and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber.

13. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the support layer comprises a buffer layer arranged around the piezoelectric film layer, wherein the buffer layer is coupled to the display layer and the electrostatic protective layer, and wherein the piezoelectric film layer is coupled to the electrostatic protective layer and is spaced from the display layer by a predetermined distance; and

wherein a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the display layer, and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber, or a sound chamber is formed by the piezoelectric film layer, the electrostatic protective layer, the display layer and the buffer layer surrounding the sound chamber.

14. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the electrostatic protective layer comprises an air vent.
