Abstract

A display assembly includes a display panel and a support plate. The support plate is disposed on a non-light-exit side of the display panel, and the support plate includes at least one first part, and the first part is flat. The first part includes a plane part and a groove part connected to each other, a plurality of grooves are disposed on a side, away from the display panel, of the groove part, and a depth of the groove is less than a thickness of the plane part in a thickness direction of the display panel. The display assembly and electronic device are configured to display an image.

Claims (42)

wherein the plane part comprises at least one adsorption sub-part, and the at least one adsorption sub-part and the plurality of grooves are staggered, and a side surface, that faces away from the display panel, of the at least one adsorption sub-part is a first surface, and the first surface is a continuous plane; and

wherein a part, in the plane part, other than the at least one adsorption sub-part is a set part, and a side surface, that faces away from the display panel, of the set part is a second surface, the first surface is flush with the second surface, and in the thickness direction of the display panel, a thickness of the adsorption sub-part is equal to a thickness of the set part.

2. The display assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one adsorption sub-part skips overlapping the plurality of grooves; and/or

a spacing exists between the at least one adsorption sub-part and the plurality of grooves.

3. The display assembly according to claim 2 , wherein a shape of the at least one adsorption sub-part comprises a circle, a square, a ring, or a frame.

4. The display assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one adsorption sub-part surrounds at least one groove of the plurality of grooves.

5. The display assembly according to claim 4 , wherein a shape of a connecting line of ends, that is closest to the at least one adsorption sub-part, of the plurality of grooves, is complementary to a shape of a boundary, that is closest to the plurality of grooves, of the at least one adsorption sub-part.

6. The display assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the groove part comprises at least two first groove groups, each first groove group comprises at least two grooves of the plurality of grooves, and the at least one adsorption sub-part is located between the at least two first groove groups.

7. The display assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the groove part further comprises a second groove group, the second groove group comprises another at least two grooves of the plurality of grooves, and the second groove group is located between the at least two first groove groups; and

at least one the adsorption sub-part surrounds the second groove group.

8. The display assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the groove part comprises a separation sub-part between two adjacent grooves, and the separation sub-part and the at least one adsorption sub-part are connected to each other and have an integral structure.

9. The display assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the display assembly further comprises:

a protective cover plate disposed on a side, that faces away from the support plate, of the display panel;

a middle frame disposed on a side, that faces away from the display panel, of the support plate; and

a flexible printed circuit board bound to the display panel, wherein the flexible printed circuit board is located between the support plate and the middle frame; and

wherein an orthogonal projection of the flexible printed circuit board on the support plate and at least one adsorption sub-part are staggered.

10. The display assembly according to claim 9 , wherein a ratio of a spacing between two adjacent grooves to a dimension of at least one groove in a set direction is greater than or equal to 2:3; and the set direction is a direction parallel to a plane where the first part is located.

11. The display assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the spacing between two adjacent grooves is greater than or equal to the dimension of the at least one groove in the set direction.

12. The display assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one groove comprises a bottom surface and a side surface connected to the bottom surface; and

wherein an angle between the bottom surface and the side surface is greater than or equal to 90°.

13. The display assembly according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of grooves are arranged in an array.

14. The display assembly according to claim 13 , wherein a shape of an orthogonal projection of the plurality of grooves on the plane where the at least one first part is located comprises a strip shape, a curve, a circle, an ellipse, or a square.

15. The display assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the shape of the orthogonal projection of the plurality of grooves on the plane where the at least one first part is located is a strip shape or a curve; and

in a vertical direction of a length direction of the plurality of grooves, the plurality of grooves are arranged in parallel and at intervals.

16. The display assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the support plate comprises a plurality of first parts and at least one second part, and the at least one second part is located between two adjacent first parts; and

at least one the second part is bendable and is capable of driving an adjacent first part to rotate around the at least one second part.

17. The display assembly according to claim 16 , wherein the display panel has a plurality of first display parts and at least one second display part, and the at least one second display part is located between two adjacent first display parts; and

wherein the plurality of first display parts are opposite to the plurality of first parts, and the at least one second display part is opposite to the at least one second part.

18. A display assembly, comprising:

a display panel; and

a support plate, disposed on a non-light-exit side of the display panel, wherein the support plate comprises a plurality of first parts and at least one second part, wherein the at least one second part is located between two adjacent first parts, and the plurality of first parts are flat, and the at least one second part is bendable, and the plurality of first parts are capable of rotating around the at least one second part; and
