Recently, flexible organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have become more and more popular. However, the force distribution and deformation are very complex during the bending process, and it is difficult to analyze the stress and strain by theoretical analysis and direct experiment. In this paper, finite element analysis of the bending model for the flexible screen was performed. For common U-shaped bending, it was shown that the maximum Mises stress increases rapidly as the bending radius decreases, and the redistribution of the tensile zone and the compression zone should be the key to the layer material selection. The results were verified by an imaging experiment. Further, a water-drop-shaped bending mode was analyzed to reduce the risk of structure failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
