In the present specification and claims, the difference in name is not used as a means for distinguishing between components, but a difference in function of a component is used as a reference for distinguishing between components. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a stiff metal layer disposed on a heat dissipation composite according to the present invention; fig. 3 is another schematic cross-sectional view of the heat dissipating composite provided with a stiff metal layer. As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a flexible display panel 100, which includes a substrate 110, a heat dissipation composite 120, and a stiff metal layer 130. The substrate 110 is, for example, an organic light emitting diode substrate. The heat dissipation composite 120 is disposed on the substrate 110, and the heat dissipation composite 120 includes a tear film side 121 and an adsorption side 122 adjacent to the tear film side 121. Specifically, the tearing-film side 121 is close to the edge of the device outline (also called device tearing-film side) for tearing the protective film (not shown), and the absorption side 122 is for absorption, transportation and movement of the absorption device (not shown). The heat dissipation composite 120 includes a grid glue 123, a foam 124, a Polyimide (PI) 125, and a copper foil 126, which are sequentially stacked, but not limited thereto. The stiff metal layer 130 is disposed on a side of the heat dissipation composite 120 away from the substrate 110, and a projected area of the stiff metal layer 130 on the substrate 110 is greater than or equal to a projected area of the tear film side 121 on the substrate 110.

In this embodiment, the material of the stiff metal layer 130 is preferably Stainless Steel (SS) or an alloy thereof, which can increase the stiffness of the whole heat dissipation composite material 120, and avoid the problem of abnormal identification of the edge profile of the heat dissipation composite material 120 due to material warpage deformation of the heat dissipation composite material 120 caused by tearing off the protective film, thereby reducing scrap and cost loss of material throwing, and improving the efficiency of production equipment and the time course of introducing new products. In other less preferred embodiments, the material of the stiff metal layer 130 may also be one or a combination of nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and steel, and is not limited.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the stiff metal layer 130 is disposed on a surface of the copper foil 126 away from the polyimide 125 and is disposed corresponding to the tear film side 121, so that the stiffness of the entire heat dissipation composite 120 can be rapidly increased. However, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the stiff metal layer 130 is disposed on the surface of the polyimide 125 on the side away from the foam 124 and corresponding to the tear film side 121, and the copper foil 126 is disposed corresponding to the absorption side 122, so that the stiff metal layer 130 is disposed adjacent to and in the same layer as the copper foil 126. Therefore, the stiffness of the heat dissipation composite material 120 can be effectively increased while avoiding increasing the thickness of the entire flexible display panel 100. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the length L of the stiff metal layer 130 is between 25 millimeters (mm) and 30 mm, and the thicknesses of the heat dissipation composite 120, the copper foil 126, and the stiff metal layer 130 are between 50 micrometers (μm) and 100 micrometers.

Referring also to fig. 4, the heat dissipation composite 120 further includes a graphite sheet 127 and a plurality of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) 128, wherein the graphite sheet 127 is preferably disposed between the polyimide 125 and the copper foil 126, which can increase the anti-pressing or anti-hot-pressing effect on the back surface of the heat dissipation composite 120. In this embodiment, each of the pressure sensing adhesives 128 is attached to two opposite surfaces of the polyimide 125 and one surface of the copper foil 126 facing the graphite sheet 127, so that the foam 124, the polyimide 125, the graphite sheet 127, and the copper foil 126 are fixedly laminated with each other. It should be noted that the heat dissipation Composite 120 is also referred to as a Super Composite Film (SCF), which can increase the heat dissipation or other suitable effects of the flexible display panel 100.

Furthermore, the present invention also provides a flexible display device 200, as shown in fig. 5. The flexible display device 200 further includes a polyester (PET resin) 210, a polarizing film 220, an optical adhesive 230, and a glass cover 240. The polyester 210 is disposed between the substrate 110 and the heat dissipation composite 120, and the polarizing film 220, the optical adhesive 230 and the glass cover 240 are sequentially stacked on a surface of the substrate 110 away from the polyester 210. For the related structure and arrangement of the flexible display panel 100, please refer to the above embodiments, which are not described herein again.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the flexible display panel 110 is, for example, an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED). The flexible display device 200 can be applied to flexible OLED display and lighting devices of wearable devices such as smart bracelets, smart watches, Virtual Reality (VR) devices, mobile phones, electronic books/newspapers, televisions, personal portable computers, foldable/rollable OLEDs, and the like.

This embodiment adopts a new heat dissipation composite to solve the problem of the loss of the existing composite material throwing, namely, on the side (i.e. equipment membrane tearing side) that the heat dissipation composite is easy to deform, one or the combination of a layer of SS (stainless steel), nickel, chromium, molybdenum and steel is overlapped and added, and the overall stiffness of the material is increased, thereby avoiding the material warpage caused by tearing the protective film of the heat dissipation composite, and the identification of the edge profile of the heat dissipation composite caused by deformation is not obvious or abnormal, reducing the rejection of the throwing material, improving the production efficiency of the equipment, and precisely advancing the new product leading-in time. Moreover, the heat dissipation composite material also comprises a graphite sheet and a plurality of pressure sensing glues, and the graphite sheet can increase the effect of anti-extrusion or anti-hot-pressing on the back of the heat dissipation composite material in the module pressing manufacturing process. The pressure sensing glue can effectively and smoothly attach the structures together.
