A carrier apparatus is adapted to carry a flexible substrate. The carrier apparatus includes two carrier plates, two adhesive layers, and two supporting units. The carrier plates have a gap with respect to each other, and each of the carrier plates has a first region and a second region, wherein the second regions of the carrier plates are adjacent to each other and are located between the first regions. The adhesive layers are respectively disposed in the first regions of the carrier plates. The supporting units are respectively disposed in the second regions of the carrier plates and are coplanar with the adhesive layers, wherein the flexible substrate is fixed on the carrier plates through the adhesive layers, and the supporting units are detachably attached to a bending zone of the flexible substrate by attractive force. A display including the carrier apparatus and a flexible display panel is provided.

Carrier apparatus and display

A flexible laminated structure includes a first protective layer, a plurality of patterned structures, and a second protective layer. The patterned structures are disposed on the first protective layer and expose a portion of the first protective layer. Each of the patterned structures has a first width adjacent to the first protective layer and a second width away from the first protective layer, and the first width is smaller than the second width. The second protective layer is disposed on the first protective layer and covers the patterned structures and the first protective layer.

Flexible laminated structure and display

A flexible laminated structure includes a first protection layer, a second protection layer directly contacting the first protection layer and a flexible material layer. The second protection layer having a plurality of openings, which are used to expose a portion of the first protection layer. The flexible material layer is disposed on the second protection layer and extends into the openings, and directly contacts the first protection layer exposed by the openings. An adhesion between the flexible material layer and the first protection layer is greater than an adhesion between the second protection layer and the first protection layer.

A circuit structure includes a flexible substrate, an inorganic barrier layer, a first wire, a second wire, a third wire, a fourth wire, an organic dielectric layer, a first conductive via, and a second conductive via. The inorganic barrier layer is disposed over the flexible substrate. The first and second wires are disposed on the inorganic barrier layer and contact the inorganic barrier layer. The first and second wires are separated from each other. The organic dielectric layer is disposed over the first and second wires. The third wire is disposed in the organic dielectric layer. The fourth wire is disposed above the organic dielectric layer. The first conductive via is disposed in the organic dielectric layer and contacts the first and third wires. The second conductive via is disposed in the organic dielectric layer and contacts the second and fourth wires.
