Let us assume a charge density $Q$ confined to a surface (surface charge density) between domains $\Omega-$ and $\Omega+$. The surface charge density causes a discontinuity of the normal components of the displacement field,
across the surface. Here $\nu{+,-}$ denote the outer normals to $\Omega{+,-}$. This is consistent with e.g. Dreyer et al, Eqn 27b (beware, $\nu$ therein denotes the outer normal of $\Omega_-$).
For $\varepsilon=1$ in 1D, the equation simplifies to
\phi_{+}'

\phi_{-}'

See the solutions of the Example121 for homogeneous Dirichlet BCs for $Q>0$
and $Q<0$.
The plots are consistent with the 1D equation above. However in breaction, the surface charge enters with - sign as -Q.
