Patent number: 11597193Abstract: The present invention employs a polyimide film, which has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is a negative number at a temperature equal to or greater than 350° C., as a debonding layer for separating a flexible substrate and a carrier substrate, and thus can easily separate a flexible substrate from a carrier substrate by using a detaching phenomenon caused by a difference in residual stress between the flexible substrate and the debonding layer after a high-temperature process for producing an element on the flexible substrate. Therefore, the present invention can separate the flexible substrate without causing chemical or physical damage to the element formed on the flexible substrate, thereby minimizing problems that may occur during a stripping process.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: LG CHEM, LTD.Inventors: Jinyoung Park, Jinho Lee, Chae Won Park

Patent number: 11575104Abstract: A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel bendable along a bending axis. A support backplate is disposed on a side of the flexible display panel and located on an outer side of the flexible display panel when bending. The support backplate includes a support area and a plurality of extension areas defined on opposite sides of the bending axis and adjoining two sides of the support area. When the flexible display device is in an expanded state, a difference value between a length of the support backplate and a length of the flexible display panel in a direction perpendicular to the bending axis is greater than or equal to a first threshold. The flexible display device can reduce the risk of peeling of components in a bent state and can ensure a product lifespan.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: WUHAN CHINA STAR OPTOELECTRONICS SEMICONDUCTOR DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Zhuo Zhang, Haochun Lee, Xiaomeng Hou
