  • Patent number: 10824190
    Abstract: A tiled display includes two supporting plates, two display panels respectively disposed on and connected to the two supporting plates, and a folding structure between the two display panels. Each display panel has an outer black matrix (BM) area and an inner BM area. The folding structure includes a rotation structure rotatably fixed to inner ends of the two supporting plates, and a flexible connecting film respectively connected to the inner BM areas of the display panels. The display panels and the supporting plates rotate around the folding structure such that the tiled display is switched between a first state and a second state. The rotation structure and the supporting plates are disposed on two different sides of the flexible connecting film. In the first state, the two display panels are located on a display plane. In the second state, the two display panels are parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 9496526
    Abstract: An apparatus for taking a flexible display panel off includes a roller, a linear motion member, a fastening apparatus and a first driving apparatus. The roller has a circumferential surface which allows a first portion of the flexible display panel to be wound thereon. The linear motion member has a carrying surface. A second portion of the flexible display panel is in contact with the carrying surface. The fastening apparatus is used to fasten the flexible display panel onto the carrying surface of the linear motion member. The first driving apparatus is used to drive the linear motion member to move linearly relative to the circumferential surface, so that the first portion departs from the circumferential surface and moves onto the carrying surface along with the second portion.

  • Patent number: 9349997
    Abstract: A display panel is provided. The display panel includes a substrate, a pixel array, a peripheral circuit, and a protective layer. The substrate includes a display region and a non-display region. The pixel array is located in the display region of the substrate. The peripheral circuit is located in the non-display region. The protective layer is located in the display region and the non-display region. The peripheral circuit and the pixel array are covered by the protective layer. The protective layer in the non-display region has a plurality of openings, which expose the substrate. The apertures of the openings is between 1 ?m and 1 mm, and the spacing between the openings is 10 ?m and 1 cm.
