DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or mutual communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0029] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and this repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a display assembly 100 for a household appliance 1000. The display assembly 100 includes a panel 10, a touch screen display 20 installed on the panel 10, and a control unit 30. The touch screen display 20 includes an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) module 22, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) module 24, and a touch screen 26. The OLED module 22 is used to display a first content, and the LED module 24 is used to display a second content related to the first content. The touch screen 26 is used to obtain an operation instruction, the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 are located below the touch screen 26, and the control unit 30 is electrically connected to the OLED module 22, the LED module 24, and the touch screen 26. The control unit 30 is used to obtain an operation instruction, and control the OLED module 22 to display the first content and the LED module 24 to display the second content according to the operation instruction.

[0031] In the above display assembly 100, complex content can be used as the first content and simple content as the second content. The OLED module 22 is used to display the complex content, so that the complex content can be displayed more clearly and with a wider viewing angle; the LED module 24 is used to display the simple content, so as to reduce the size of the OLED module 22, save costs, and make the display layout of the display assembly 100 more flexible. The display content of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 can also be changed through the touch screen 26. Compared with the method of buttons or knobs, the operation process is simpler and faster, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0032] In the related art, household appliances will use TFT (Thin Film Transistor) touch screens on the panels to display related content, but the display effect of TFT touch screens is poor, which is mainly reflected in the narrow viewing angle and insufficient brightness. In addition, since the TFT touch screen is a type of liquid crystal screen, no matter whether the displayed image is black or other colors, each pixel on the TFT touch screen is working. Therefore, when selecting the control board that controls the TFT touch screen, it is necessary to meet the requirements of being able to control all pixels to work at all times. The requirements for the control board are high, and it requires a higher cost to configure the control board.

[0033] In the display component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, an OLED module 22 can be used to display the first content. On the OLED module 22, the part that does not display the first content remains in a non-luminous state, that is, the pixels that do not display the first content can remain in a non-working state. Therefore, when selecting a control unit 30 for controlling the OLED module 22, the control unit 30 does not need to control all the pixels to work all the time, and the requirements for the control unit 30 are relatively low. A lower-priced control unit 30 can be selected. Therefore, using the OLED module 22 can save costs compared to TFT.

[0034] Specifically, the display component 100 can be used in a household appliance 1000 to display the operation menu, working status, and other contents of the household appliance 1000. The household appliance 1000 can be a refrigerator, an oven, a microwave oven, an electric steamer, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, the household appliance 1000 is an oven as an example for description, but the specific type of the household appliance 1000 is not limited.

[0035] The OLED module 22 may include an OLED device with a display function. The OLED device has higher display brightness, a wider visual range, and relatively low power consumption.

[0036] The LED module 24 may include an LED device with a display function. The LED device mainly displays content by controlling the on and off of a light emitting diode, so it is suitable for displaying simple content, and the production cost and power consumption of the LED device are relatively low. The LED module 24 may be made in the form of an LED digital tube.

[0037] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the panel 10 is designed without openings, and the panel 10 covers the entire touch display screen 20. It is understood that in other embodiments, the panel 10 may also be formed with through holes, and the touch display screen 20 is installed at the through holes. The control unit 30 may be arranged below the touch display screen 20.

[0038] The operation instructions acquired by the touch screen 26 may include instructions triggered by a touch position and a touch gesture to implement certain logical operations. Both the touch position and the touch gesture may be triggered by the user on the panel 10 or the touch screen 26.

[0039] The control unit 30 can obtain the operation instruction obtained by the touch screen 26, and the control unit 30 changes the first content and the second content according to the user's touch position and touch gesture. For example, in the home appliance 1000, more specifically, when using the oven, the user touches the part of the panel 10 corresponding to the touch screen 26, which can trigger the operation instruction, thereby realizing the change of the first content and the second content, such as the change of the function mode, temperature, time, power and other parameters of the home appliance 1000.

[0040] It should be pointed out that, in the above-mentioned operation instructions, the first content and the second content can be changed, and the working state of the household appliance 1000 can be controlled accordingly, so that the first content and the second content are associated with the working state of the household appliance 1000, so that the working state of the household appliance 1000 is always reflected in the first content and the second content.

[0041] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the display assembly 100 includes a circuit board 40 . The control unit 30 is disposed on the circuit board 40 , and the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 are located between the touch screen 26 and the circuit board 40 .

[0042] In this way, the integration of the display assembly 100 can be improved, and the display assembly 100 can be easily connected to the home appliance 1000.

[0043] See also Figure 1In some embodiments, the OLED module 22 is connected to a first connector, the LED module 24 is connected to a second connector, and the touch screen 26 is connected to a third connector. The circuit board 40 is provided with a fourth connector 42, a fifth connector 44, and a sixth connector 46. The first connector is connected to the fourth connector 42, the second connector is connected to the fifth connector 44, and the third connector is connected to the sixth connector 46.

[0044] In this way, the circuit board 40 and the OLED module 22 are connected through the first connector and the fourth connector 42, the circuit board 40 and the LED module 24 are connected through the second connector and the fifth connector 44, and the circuit board 40 and the touch screen 26 are connected through the third connector and the sixth connector 46, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the OLED module 22, the LED module 24 and the touch screen 26.

[0045] Specifically, the first connector and the fourth connector 42, the second connector and the fifth connector 44, and the third connector and the sixth connector 46 can be connected through a flexible circuit board 50. The flexible circuit board 50 is thin and easy to bend, so it can further improve the integration of the display component 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connector and the fourth connector 42, the second connector and the fifth connector 44, and the third connector and the sixth connector 46 can also be connected through other devices that can realize the connection function, which is not limited here.

[0046] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the number of the LED modules 24 is two. The second content displayed by one of the LED modules 24 is different from the second content displayed by the other LED module 24.

[0047] In this way, the type requirements of the second content can be met, that is, more types of second content can be displayed, enriching the display content of the display component 100. For example, the second content may include content such as temperature, time, power, and gear. For another example, when the household appliance 1000 is an oven, one of the LED modules 24 can display temperature and another LED module 24 can display time. Or when the household appliance 1000 is an induction cooker, one of the LED modules 24 can display power and another LED module 24 can display time. Or when the household appliance 1000 is a refrigerator, one of the LED modules 24 can display the gear and another LED module 24 can display temperature.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of LED modules 24 may be other numbers, which may be determined according to actual needs. If the structure of the display assembly 100 allows, a larger number of LED modules 24 may display more second content.

[0049] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the arrangement of the OLED module 42 and the two LED modules 24 can be flexibly set, and can be arranged according to the size and shape of the panel 10, and the appearance of the display assembly 100 can also be optimized by flexibly arranging the OLED module 42 and the LED module 24. Therefore, the touch display screen 20 of the embodiment of the present invention has strong applicability, especially when the display structure or size of different models of household appliances 1000 needs to be changed, the touch display screen 20 can be adapted to different models of household appliances 1000 through the flexible arrangement of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24, which is conducive to saving time cost in the product development process of the household appliance 1000, and is also conducive to reducing the development cost of re-molding the display structure.

[0050] See also Figures 3 to 5 , Figures 3 to 5 The three different arrangements of the OLED module and the LED module on the display assembly 100 are shown in FIG. 1 . The OLED module and the LED module can be flexibly arranged according to the structure of the panel 10, and the display assembly 100 can be adapted to different types of household appliances 1000, thereby improving the versatility of the display assembly 100. Of course, the OLED module and the LED module are not limited to Figures 3 to 5 The arrangement form can also be flexibly changed according to actual needs and will not be limited here.

[0051] Furthermore, the spacing between the OLED module 22 and the two LED modules 24 can be flexibly changed, and in combination with the corresponding configuration of the display assembly 100, when the spacing is larger, the display portion of the display assembly 100 can appear larger in appearance, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the display assembly 100. When the spacing is smaller, the display assembly can be made more compact.

[0052] In some implementations, the first content includes a function menu, and the second content includes an adjustable parameter related to the function menu.

[0053] In this way, the display effect of the OLED module 22 is better, the brightness is higher and the viewing angle is larger, and it can better display graphics and texts with more complex contents such as function menus; the content of the adjustable parameters is relatively simple, and the displayed content and position are basically fixed. Using the LED module 24 for display is conducive to reducing the size of the OLED module 22 to save costs.

[0054] Specifically, the function menu generally includes multiple functions. For example, for an oven, the function menu includes functions such as baking, roasting, baking, and fermentation. In addition, each function generally has corresponding adjustable parameters, and the adjustable parameters may include parameters such as temperature, time, and power. The function menu usually has more text or graphics so that each function can be more intuitively understood by the user and can correspond to a larger user group. In particular, vivid graphics can enhance the user experience of user groups with text recognition difficulties. Therefore, an OLED module 22 with a better display effect is used to display the function menu. However, the temperature, time, and power parameters in the adjustable parameters need to be displayed for a long time, and the displayed content is mainly digital, so there can be a relatively fixed display position. Therefore, an LED module 24 can be used to display the adjustable parameters, so that all the first content and the second content can be avoided from being displayed by the OLED module 22, and the second content with relatively simple content is assigned to the LED module 24 for display, which can reduce the size of the OLED module 22, and the price of the OLED module 22 of the same size is higher than that of the LED module 24, and the use of the LED module 24 can also save costs.

[0055] The first content and the second content are related. For example, when the function menu is switched to the baking item on the OLED module 26, the LED module 24 will display the basic values ​​of the parameters of the baking temperature, time and power, and the parameters can be adjusted in subsequent operations. In this way, when the first content displayed by the OLED module 26 is switched, the LED module 24 will display the second content corresponding to the first content currently displayed by the OLED module 26.

[0056] When the household appliance 1000 is just turned on, the OLED module 26 and the LED module 24 display the default first content and the second content. For example, when the household appliance 1000 is an oven, the default first content is "automatic mode" and the default second content is "150°C" and "medium heat". The user can then customize the corresponding function menus and adjustable parameters.

[0057] In the implementation manner of the present invention, the first content and the second content can be adjusted through the key 60 in any case.

[0058] In some embodiments, the touch screen 26 is a capacitive screen, which has fast response speed, high precision, and long life, and is conducive to improving user experience.

[0059] Of course, in other implementations, the touch screen 26 may also be other components that can achieve a touch effect, such as a resistive screen, which is not limited here.

[0060] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the display assembly 100 includes a button 60 . The button 60 is electrically connected to the control unit 30 .

[0061] In this way, the button 60 can be provided with a corresponding function signal, so that the button 60 can change the display content of the OLED module and the LED module, thereby increasing the operation mode of the display assembly 100 .

[0062] There may be multiple buttons 60. In one example, multiple buttons 60 may be respectively disposed at the front and rear of the position of the OLED module 22 corresponding to the touch screen 26, for adjusting the first content displayed by the OLED module 22, more specifically, for switching the function menu displayed by the OLED module 22. Multiple buttons 60 may also be disposed at the front and rear of the position of the LED module 24 corresponding to the touch screen 26, for adjusting the second content displayed by the LED module 24, more specifically, for adjusting the values ​​of parameters such as temperature, time, and power displayed by the LED module 24, such as increasing or decreasing.

[0063] More preferably, the button 60 can be set to the left and right of the position of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 corresponding to the touch screen 26. The button 60 set to the left and right of the OLED module 22 can be used to switch the function menu. The button 60 set to the left and right of the LED module 24 can be used to switch the unit of the adjustable parameter, or can be used to switch the type of the adjustable parameter, for example, switching the "temperature" parameter to the "time" parameter. The button 60 can also be set at other positions on the touch screen 26, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0064] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the button 60 includes an indicator 61 and a touch 62. The indicator 61 is disposed below the touch screen 26, and the touch area 62 is located on the touch screen 26. The touch area 62 and the indicator 61 are disposed correspondingly. The indicator 61 is used to indicate the position of the touch area 62, and the touch area 62 is used to receive a touch signal.

[0065] In this way, the user can operate the content displayed on the touch display screen 20 on the touch area 62 according to the position of the touch area 62 indicated by the indicator 61, thereby increasing the operation methods of the display assembly 100.

[0066] Specifically, the touch area 62 receives the touch signal and transmits the touch signal to the circuit board 40 , so that the control unit 30 electrically connected to the circuit board 40 adjusts the first content and the second content according to the touch signal.

[0067] The indicator 61 may be an LED device, and the indicator 61 may be made in the form of an LED digital tube. The LED digital tube emits light, and the light passes through the touch area 62 and the panel 10 to indicate the position of the touch area 62.

[0068] See also Figure 1In some embodiments, the indicator 61 is disposed on the circuit board 40. In this way, the indicator 61 can indicate the position of the touch area 62 from below the touch area 62, and the indicator 61 can be fixed to the circuit board 40 to avoid the indicator 61 moving and failing to correctly indicate the position of the touch area 62.

[0069] In some embodiments, the key 60 includes at least one of a touch key and a membrane key. The touch key has strong anti-interference and stability, and the membrane key has a long service life and low price. Both the touch key and the membrane key are suitable for being arranged on the display assembly 100 of the household appliance 1000.

[0070] In addition, in other implementations, the buttons may also include other types of operation buttons, which are not limited here.

[0071] Specifically, the touch button can be a capacitive touch button, which can be arranged on the touch screen 26. The membrane button can be arranged outside the panel 10, or a hole can be opened on the panel 10 and arranged in the hole.

[0072] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the panel 10 is a light-homogenizing layer, which is disposed above the touch display screen 20 and is used to reduce the color difference between the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 .

[0073] In this way, the color difference between the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 can be reduced, thereby improving the overall appearance of the home appliance 1000.

[0074] Specifically, since the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 are two different types of screens, their brightness is different. If the plane is directly exposed without being blocked, the very obvious color difference will greatly reduce the appearance quality of the product, making the household appliance 1000 look cheap and not refined enough.

[0075] By setting a light-homogenizing layer above the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24, the color difference of the light emitted outward by the OLED module 22 and the color difference of the light emitted outward by the LED module 24 tend to be consistent, and the display boundary between the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 is significantly weakened, thereby achieving a borderless visual effect of multiple screens, making the display effects of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 similar or the same, and better improving the overall look and feel of the home appliance 1000.

[0076] Therefore, the flexible display layout of the touch display screen 20 using the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 is ensured, and at the same time, the display effects of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 are made consistent, thereby improving the appearance of the product.

[0077] It should be pointed out that the light-homogenizing layer completely covers the surface of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24, that is, the light emitted by the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 must first pass through the light-homogenizing layer before it can be emitted outward, ensuring that the color difference of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 converges, thereby ensuring the overall texture of the household appliance 1000.

[0078] In some embodiments, the light-homogenizing layer is translucent glass or organic glass. In this way, the content displayed by the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 can have a consistent color difference after being exposed to the translucent glass or organic glass, thereby improving the overall appearance of the product. It should be noted that the organic glass also needs to be translucent.

[0079] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 The household appliance 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the display assembly 100 according to any one of the above embodiments and a body 200. The display assembly 100 is disposed on the body 200.

[0080] In the above household appliance 1000, the display component 100 can use complex content as the first content and simple content as the second content. The OLED module 22 is used to display the complex content, so that the complex content can be displayed more clearly and with a wider viewing angle; the LED module 24 is used to display the simple content, so as to reduce the size of the OLED module 22, save costs, and make the display layout of the display component 100 more flexible. The display content of the OLED module 22 and the LED module 24 can also be changed through the touch screen, and the operation process is simple and fast, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
