As an example of this type of display panel, Patent Literature (PTL) 1 discloses a display panel that is provided with protective sheets on both sides of the panel. Since this display panel is provided with protective sheets, it is possible to absorb an external impact while suppressing the occurrence of cracks.
For example, when the display panel is used for a display device such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a wearable terminal, it may be impacted by the contact of a writing instrument or a finger. Therefore, the display panel is required to have impact resistance that can withstand the impact caused by the contact of a writing instrument or a finger.

One aspect of the display device according to the present disclosure includes the display panel described above and a driver that drives the display panel.
According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a display panel, and the like, having impact resistance.
These and other advantages and features will become apparent from the following description thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings, by way of non-limiting examples of embodiments disclosed herein.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the display panel according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that all of the embodiments described below show a specific example of the present disclosure. Therefore, numerical values, components, arrangement positions and connection forms of the components, and the like shown in the following embodiments are examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Therefore, among the components in the following embodiments, the components not described in the independent claim are described as arbitrary components.
In each figure, substantially the same components are given the same reference numerals. In addition, each figure is a schematic view, and the film thickness, the ratio of the size of each part, and the like are not necessarily strictly represented.

Display device 90 includes display panel 1 that is flexible and controller 95 that drives and controls display panel 1.
Display panel 1 includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. In the display panel for color display, for example, three sub-pixels are formed by three electroluminescence (EL) elements corresponding to respective colors of RGB (red, green, and blue), and one pixel is formed by combining these three sub-pixels. It should be noted that each pixel is not limited to three sub-pixels, and may be formed by one sub-pixel by W (white) or four sub-pixels by RGBW.

Driver 98 includes a scanning line driving circuit, a signal line driving circuit, and the like, and drives a plurality of pixels of display panel 1 via the scanning lines and the signal lines.
Next, the structure of display panel 1 will be described with reference to
Display panel 1 includes EL structure layer 10, first adhesive layer 20, intermediate layer 30, second adhesive layer 40, metal layer 50, and foamed resin layer 60.
Foamed resin layer 60 is provided on the opposite side of light emitting surface 10a of EL structure layer 10. Metal layer 50 is provided between EL structure layer 10 and foamed resin layer 60. Intermediate layer 30 is provided between EL structure layer 10 and metal layer 50. Each of first adhesive layer 20 and second adhesive layer 40 is provided between EL structure layer 10 and metal layer 50. Specifically, first adhesive layer 20 is provided between EL structure layer 10 and intermediate layer 30, and second adhesive layer 40 is provided between intermediate layer 30 and metal layer 50.
That is, display panel 1 includes a laminated structure in which EL structure layer 10, first adhesive layer 20, intermediate layer 30, second adhesive layer 40, metal layer 50, and foamed resin layer 60 are overlapped in this order. The configuration of each layer will be described below.
EL structure layer 10 has an upper surface light emitting structure (top emission structure) and includes a plurality of EL elements arranged two-dimensionally. EL structure layer 10 has light emitting surface 10a for emitting light and back surface 10b on the opposite side of light emitting surface 10a. EL structure layer 10 is flexible and bendable.
EL structure layer 10 includes organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel 15, optical adhesive sheet (OCA: Optical Clear Adaptive) 14, thin polarizing plate 13, optical adhesive sheet 12, and cover film 11. EL structure layer 10 is a structure layer in which OLED panel 15, optical adhesive sheet 14, thin polarizing plate 13, optical adhesive sheet 12, and cover film 11 are overlapped in this order. It should be noted that OLED panel 15 includes sheet thin film transistor (TFT) 15c, OLED 15b including an organic EL element, and thin film encapsulation (TFE) 15a.
First adhesive layer 20 is a layer for joining intermediate layer 30 to EL structure layer 10. First adhesive layer 20 is provided on back surface 10b of EL structure layer 10 and is in direct contact with each of EL structure layer 10 and intermediate layer 30.
First adhesive layer 20 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 90 kPa or more. If the elastic modulus of the adhesive is small, the impact resistance will be lowered, so that the elastic modulus of the adhesive needs to be 90 kPa or more. This elastic modulus is a value of the time when a dynamic viscoelasticity test is carried out using an adhesive layer having storage elastic modulus G′ and a thickness of 1000 μm as a sample under the conditions of a sample temperature of 25° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz with a shear rheometer. It should be noted that first adhesive layer 20 may comprise an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 90 kPa or more and 700 kPa or less. The adhesive included in first adhesive layer 20 is, for example, an acrylic-based adhesive. If the thickness of first adhesive layer 20 is too thick, the impact resistance will be lowered, so that it is desirable that the thickness of first adhesive layer 20 is 25 μm or less. In addition, the thickness of first adhesive layer 20 may be 5 μm or less as long as the function as an adhesive can be realized.
Intermediate layer 30 is a layer that is provided to support EL structure layer 10. Intermediate layer 30 is laminated on EL structure layer 10 via first adhesive layer 20. Intermediate layer 30 is flexible and bendable.
Intermediate layer 30 is a transparent sheet such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin sheet and the like. The Young's modulus (tensile modulus) of the material of intermediate layer 30 is smaller than that of metal layer 50 and larger than that of foamed resin layer 60, which are described later. The thickness of intermediate layer 30 is preferably 25 μm or more and 125 μm or less. Intermediate layer 30 is not limited to the PET resin sheet, and may be a polyimide resin sheet or a stainless steel sheet.
Second adhesive layer 40 is a layer for joining metal layer 50 to intermediate layer 30. Second adhesive layer 40 is in direct contact with each of intermediate layer 30 and metal layer 50.
The adhesive included in second adhesive layer 40 may be the same as the adhesive included in first adhesive layer 20. Second adhesive layer 40 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 90 kPa or more. It should be noted that when the impact resistance is ensured by first adhesive layer 20, second adhesive layer 40 may have a smaller elastic modulus than first adhesive layer 20 and may have an elastic modulus of 30 kPa or more. The thickness of second adhesive layer 40 is preferably 5 μm or more and 25 μm or less.
Metal layer 50 is a layer that is provided to reinforce EL structure layer 10. Metal layer 50 is laminated on intermediate layer 30 via second adhesive layer 40. Metal layer 50 is flexible and bendable.
Metal layer 50 is, for example, a stainless steel sheet or an aluminum sheet. The material of metal layer 50 is preferably stainless steel with rust resistance, but may be aluminum with high thermal conductivity and light weight. In addition, the material of metal layer 50 may be iron, copper, nickel, tin, brass, or an alloy containing at least two of these.
If the Young's modulus of the material of metal layer 50 is small, the impact resistance will be lowered, so that it is desirable that the Young's modulus of the material of metal layer 50 is 40 GPa or more. In order to further improve the impact resistance, it is desirable that the material of metal layer 50 is determined from the range of Young's modulus of 68 GPa or more and 250 GPa or less. This Young's modulus is defined by the Japanese Industrial Standards “JIS Z 2280: High-temperature Young's modulus test method for metal materials”.
If the thickness of metal layer 50 is too thin, the impact resistance will be lowered, and if it is too thick, the flexibility will be lowered, so that it is desirable that the thickness of metal layer 50 is, for example, 10 μm or more and 200 μm or less. In order to further improve the impact resistance, it is desirable that the thickness of metal layer 50 is determined from the range of 29 μm or more and 200 μm or less.
Foamed resin layer 60 is a layer that is provided to absorb the impact applied to EL structure layer 10. Foamed resin layer 60 is flexible and bendable. Foamed resin layer 60 is, for example, silicone foam, urethane foam, or acrylic foam. Silicone foam is suitable for display panels used at low temperatures because its hardness does not change relatively even at low temperatures. When the silicone foam is applied, since both sides have a self-adhesive function, no adhesive layer is required between the silicone foam and metal layer 50. In addition, no adhesive is also required when the display panel is set in the housing.
The 25% compression load deflection (CLD) of the material of foamed resin layer 60 is not particularly specified, but it is desirable that it is 20 kPa or more and 150 kPa or less. The 25% CLD is the force required to crush the thickness of an object from 100% to 75%. This 25% CLD is measured by the method specified in the Japanese Industrial Standards “JIS K 6254”.
If the thickness of foamed resin layer 60 is too thin, the shock absorption will be lowered, and if it is too thick, the flexibility will be lowered, so that it is desirable that the thickness of foamed resin layer 60 is, for example, 50 μm or more and 1500 μm or less. In order to further improve the impact resistance, it is desirable that the thickness of foamed resin layer 60 is thicker than the thickness of metal layer 50 and is determined from the range of 100 μm or more and 1000 μm or less.
In this way, it is possible to improve the impact resistance of display panel 1 by appropriately determining the configurations of first adhesive layer 20, intermediate layer 30, second adhesive layer 40, metal layer 50, and foamed resin layer 60 which are added to EL structure layer 10.
Next, the impact resistance test results of display panel 1 will be described.
In this test, display panel 1 is placed on a highly rigid base, and a weight is dropped from a predetermined drop height toward display panel 1 in 1 cm increments while display panel 1 is made to emit light. Then, at the spot where the weight hits display panel 1, the height obtained by subtracting 1 cm from the drop height of the weight at the time when the light is no longer emitted is recorded. The higher the drop height of the weight, the better the impact resistance of display panel 1. As the types of tests, two tests including a test using a weight with a weight of 30 g and a hemispherical tip with an R (radius)=9 mm (hereinafter referred to as a darts test), and a test using a weight (for example, a pen) with a weight of 4.5 g and a hemispherical tip with an R=0.35 mm (hereinafter referred to as a pen drop test) were performed. In these impact resistance tests, a case where the drop height of the weight was 10 cm or more was passed, and a case where the drop height of the weight was less than 10 cm was failed.
As shown in
In addition,
As shown in
In addition, as shown in the pen drop test of
Next, the test results regarding first adhesive layer 20, intermediate layer 30, and second adhesive layer 40 of display panel 1 will be described with reference to
As shown in
In each of samples s1 to s11, the configurations of first adhesive layer 20, intermediate layer 30, and second adhesive layer 40 are different, and the configurations of other layers are the same. Hereinafter, an example in which the configurations of first adhesive layer 20, intermediate layer 30, and second adhesive layer 40 are changed will be described.
The first adhesive layer of sample s1 (comparative example) comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 30 kPa, and the thickness of the adhesive layer is 25 μm. The drop height of sample s1 in the darts test is 25 cm, but the drop height in the pen drop test is 5 cm, so that the impact resistance test result is unacceptable.
First adhesive layer 20 of sample s2 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 700 kPa, and the elastic modulus of the adhesive is higher than that of sample s1. In addition, the thickness of first adhesive layer 20 of sample s2 is 5 μm, which is thinner than the thickness of the adhesive layer of sample s1. The drop height of sample s2 in the darts test is 50 cm, the drop height in the pen drop test is 13 cm, and the impact resistance test result is acceptable. As shown in
Second adhesive layer 40 of sample s2 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 30 kPa. The drop height of sample s2 in the darts test is 50 cm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 13 cm. Second adhesive layer 40 of sample s3 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 700 kPa. The drop height of sample s3 in the darts test is 95 cm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 17 cm. As shown in
The thickness of second adhesive layer 40 of sample s3 is 25 μm, the thickness of second adhesive layer 40 of sample s4 is 15 μm, and the thickness of second adhesive layer 40 of sample s5 is 5 μm. The drop height of sample s3 and sample s4 in the pen drop test is 17 cm, but the drop height of sample s5 in the pen drop test is 29 cm. As shown in
It should be noted that the drop height could not be set to exceed 95 cm in this test, so even if the darts test passed the drop height of 95 cm, the test result of the darts test was set to the drop height of 95 cm. Hereinafter, the description of the darts test will be omitted, and only the description of the pen drop test will be given.
First adhesive layer 20 of sample s5 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 700 kPa, the thickness of first adhesive layer 20 is 5 μm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 29 cm. First adhesive layer 20 of sample s6 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 272 kPa, the thickness of first adhesive layer 20 is 5.7 μm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 19 cm. As shown in
Second adhesive layer 40 of sample s6 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 700 kPa, the thickness of second adhesive layer 40 is 5 μm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 19 cm. Second adhesive layer 40 of sample s7 comprises an adhesive having an elastic modulus of 90 kPa, the thickness of second adhesive layer 40 is 20 μm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 13 cm. As shown in
The thickness of second adhesive layer 40 of sample s7 is 20 μm, the thickness of second adhesive layer 40 of sample s8 is 10 μm, and the thickness of second adhesive layer 40 of sample s9 is 6 μm. The drop height of sample s7 in the pen drop test is 13 cm, but the drop height of sample s8 and sample s9 in the pen drop test is 15 cm. As shown in
Intermediate layer 30 of sample s5 comprises a PET resin sheet having a thickness of 75 μm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 29 cm. Intermediate layer 30 of sample s10 comprises a stainless steel sheet having a thickness of 29 μm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 32 cm. Intermediate layer 30 of sample s11 comprises a polyimide resin sheet having a thickness of 38 μm, and the drop height in the pen drop test is 30 cm. As shown in
It should be noted that it is desirable that the 25% CLD of foamed resin layer 60 of display panel 1 is 20 kPa or more and 150 kPa or less. The reason is that for example, when a local impact is applied to EL structure layer 10, if the value of the 25% CLD is too small, the foam material is crushed and the impact reaches the inside of EL structure layer 10 to damage EL structure layer 10, while if the value of the 25% CLD is too large, the impact cannot be absorbed as a whole and EL structure layer 10 is destroyed.
Next, display panel 1A according to a variation of the embodiment will be described. In this variation, an example in which display panel 1A does not include intermediate layer 30 and second adhesive layer 40 will be described.

The material of metal layer 50 is preferably stainless steel with rust resistance, but may be aluminum with high thermal conductivity and light weight. In addition, the material of metal layer 50 may be iron, copper, nickel, tin, brass, or an alloy containing at least two of these.
It is desirable that the Young's modulus of the material of metal layer 50 is 40 GPa or more. In order to further improve the impact resistance, it is desirable that the material of metal layer 50 is determined from the range of Young's modulus of 68 GPa or more and 250 GPa or less.

In order to further improve the impact resistance, it is desirable that the thickness of foamed resin layer 60 is thicker than the thickness of metal layer 50 and is determined from the range of 700 μm or more and 1000 μm or less.
Next, the test results regarding first adhesive layer 20 of display panel 1A will be described with reference to
