    [0021] To improve understanding of the technical solution of the present disclosure for those skilled in the art, the present disclosure will now be described in detail in conjunction with accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
    [0022] According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a flexible display screen. As shown in Fig. 1, the flexible display screen includes a substrate 10, a backing film 1, and a pressure sensor 2. The backing film 1 is stacked on a side of the substrate 10 facing away from a light-emitting surface of the flexible display screen. The pressure sensor 2 is stacked on a side of the backing film 1 facing away from the substrate 10 and configured to output a signal related to a force applied on the flexible display screen.
    [0023] Since the pressure sensor 2 in the flexible display screen of this exemplary embodiment is disposed on the backing film 1, it is not necessary to select a separate substrate (for example, a glass substrate in the related art) to form the pressure sensor 2, thereby making the formed flexible display with the pressure sensor 2 light and thin while reducing process costs.
    [0024] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressure sensor 2 is a capacitive pressure sensor which, as shown in Fig. 1, includes a first electrode 21, a dielectric layer 23, and a second electrode 22 disposed in sequence along a direction away from the substrate 10 with respect to the backing film 1. The second electrode 22 is a ground electrode having a monolithic-layer structure and is shared with the middle frame 7 of the flexible display screen (only a portion of a left side thereof is schematically shown in Fig. 1) so that the flexible display screen may be lighter and thinner. Each layer structure of the pressure sensor 2 (i.e., the first electrode 21, the dielectric layer 23, and the second electrode 22) may be completed by a printing process which is simple in process and high in yield. It should be noted that the pressure sensor 2 may be formed simply and conveniently by binding between the first electrode 21 and the dielectric layer 23 and between the dielectric layer 23 and the second electrode 22 with a double-sided tape.
    [0025] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a material of the dielectric layer 23 in the pressure sensor 2 is a foam, wherein the foam material may be an insulating material such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), PU (polyurethane) or the like. Due to good elasticity, the foam is deformed when the pressure sensor 2 is pressed so that a distance between the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 may be changed. According to the capacitance formula: C=εS/d, a capacitance change of the pressure sensor 2 may be thus obtained. It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, the capacitance formula is C=εS/4πkd, but if a spacing d between two parallel electrode plates is much smaller than widths and lengths of the electrode plates, the capacitance formula is approximately C=εS/d, where ε is a dielectric constant of a dielectric between the electrode plates, S is an area of the electrode plates, and d is a distance between the electrode plates.
    [0026] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 2, the flexible display screen further includes a heat dissipation layer 3 between the dielectric layer 23 and the second electrode 22 for releasing heat produced by the flexible display screen. For example, when the flexible display screen is a mobile phone, the heat dissipation layer 3 in this case is mainly used for releasing heat generated by a battery of the mobile phone. A material of the heat dissipation layer 3 may include copper and graphite. Apparently, it is not limited to these two materials, and other materials having a heat release function may be used.
    [0027] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to prevent the pressure sensor 2 from being seen when the flexible display screen displays, as shown in Fig. 3, a light shielding layer 4 is disposed between the backing film 1 and the pressure sensor 2, or, as shown in Fig. 4, a light shielding layer 4 is provided between the substrate 10 and the backing film 1. A material of the light shielding layer 4 may be an ink, and apparently other opaque materials such as a black resin material may be used.
    [0028] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a material of the backing film includes: a polymer film material of any one of PI (polyimide), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and TAC (cellulose triacetate). Apparently, it is not limited to the above materials, and other flexible materials may be used.
    [0029] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the flexible display screen may be an organic electroluminescent diode display screen. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5, the flexible display screen further includes: a plurality of pixel units 5 located on the substrate 10, each of the pixel units 5 including an organic electroluminescent diode 51.
    [0030] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 5, a touch control unit 6 is further disposed on a light-emitting surface side of the pixel units 5 for implementing touch control. Generally, the touch control unit 6 includes a driving electrode and a sensing electrode. In this case, the flexible display screen in the exemplary embodiment may realize detections of touch control in three directions, X, Y, and Z, and implement the 3D touch control function. The entire module having the above configuration is relatively thinner and lighter, which is advantageous for bending of the flexible display screen.
    [0031] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a display device including the above flexible display screen, the detailed configuration of the flexible display screen is not repeated herein.
    [0032] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the display device may include: an OLED panel, a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a television, a monitor, a notebook computer, a digital album, a navigator or any other product or component having a display function.
    [0033] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments for the purpose of illustrating the principle of the disclosure, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements can be made by a person having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the disclosure. Accordingly, all of the modifications and improvements also fall into the protection scope of the disclosure.
