[0041] The inventors found that the technical problems of the existing electronic shelf label solutions are:

[0042] 1. The protective lens and the shell are fixed by ultrasonic welding, hot melt adhesive bonding or snap fastening, which cannot completely isolate water molecules from invading the interior of the electronic shelf label product. The electronic paper widely used in the electronic paper display screen of the electronic shelf label is sensitive to water vapor. The main reason for its failure is that after long-term use, water molecules invade from the edge sealing, causing the electronic paper characteristics to change, resulting in abnormal display.

[0043] 2. In conventional designs, the protective lens and the electronic paper display screen cannot fit perfectly, the screen has poor light transmittance, and dust or foreign matter enters between the electronic paper display screen and the protective lens, resulting in display defects of electronic shelf label products.

[0044] 3. The existing design uses conventional technology, the whole product is heavy, and it is very different from traditional paper labels, which creates obstacles to the full use of electronic shelf labels.

[0045] Therefore, the inventors have considered the above technical problems and proposed an electronic shelf label and a manufacturing solution thereof, which solves the following problems:

[0046] 1. Isolate the main components such as the electronic paper display screen, circuit board, battery, etc. from the external environment to prevent the invasion of water molecules and solve the problem of the electronic paper display screen being affected by water vapor and failing.

[0048] 3. Solve the problem of the weight of the whole product, and the whole machine is closer to the use of paper labels, which is conducive to the large-scale promotion of electronic shelf labels.

[0049] The electronic shelf label and its manufacturing solution are introduced in detail below.

[0050] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for manufacturing an electronic shelf label according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0051] Step 101: The front cover plate and the electronic paper display screen are bonded together by using an optically transparent bonding agent OCA. After bonding, the sides of the electronic paper display screen are sealed by using a waterproof edge sealing glue to form a display assembly; the front cover plate is a transparent plastic cover plate;

[0052] Step 102: crimping the assembled printed circuit board PCBA to the display assembly, and after the crimping is completed, welding the battery and the PCBA together to form an electrical assembly;

[0053] Step 103: Bond the peripheral edge of the rear shell to the peripheral edge of the front cover. After bonding, the front cover and the protruding portion of the rear shell facing away from the electrical components form a receiving space; inject epoxy resin glue into the receiving space, and the epoxy resin glue is cured to form a complete machine.

[0063] After the bonding is completed, the air bubbles that may be introduced during the bonding are eliminated through the degassing process;

[0064] After the degassing process is completed, the sides of the electronic paper display screen are sealed with waterproof edge sealing glue to form a display component.

[0065] In specific implementation, the front cover plate and the display screen are bonded together by OCA glue, and the bubbles that may be introduced during bonding are eliminated through a degassing process, thereby improving the quality of the electronic shelf label.

[0066] 3. Screen edge sealing: After the lamination and degassing process, the sides of the display screen (if the shape of the electronic label is a quadrilateral, then it is "four sides", for example, you can refer to the four side edges of a mobile phone. Of course, if the electronic shelf label is designed to be circular or elliptical, it can be the side of a circular or elliptical shape, such as a circumferential edge) are sealed with a special waterproof edge sealing glue (the special waterproof edge sealing glue is Figure 5 The edge sealing is performed on the substrate (not shown) to form a screen assembly (display assembly), and the display assembly is formed after the edge sealing is completed.

[0067] The EPD electronic paper screen commonly used in existing electronic shelf labels is sensitive to water vapor in the use environment. After long-term use, water molecules usually invade the display material electronic paper from all sides, resulting in display abnormalities. In the embodiment of the present invention, the edge-sealed display component is edge-sealed with waterproof edge-sealing glue at the edge position most susceptible to water vapor, isolating the screen from water vapor in the external environment, greatly extending the service life of the electronic paper screen, and further extending the service life of the electronic shelf label.

[0068] 2. Next, the above step 102 is introduced.

[0069] When implementing it, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the main process of the above step 102 is:

[0074] 3. Battery welding: Weld the positive and negative contacts of the battery 4 to the PCBA to form a complete electrical assembly.

[0075] After the PCB welding is completed, the PCBA and display components are crimped through the ACF process, and then the battery welding is completed to form a complete electrical assembly.

[0076] 3. Next, the above step 103 is introduced.

[0077] When implementing it, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the implementation process of the above step 103 mainly includes:

[0079] In one embodiment, bonding the peripheral edge of the rear shell to the peripheral edge of the front cover includes: bonding the peripheral edge of the rear shell to the peripheral edge of the front cover by hot melt adhesive.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the peripheral edge of the rear shell is bonded to the peripheral edge of the electrical component by hot melt adhesive to ensure the firmness of the electronic shelf label. If the electronic shelf label is a quadrilateral, the peripheral edge mentioned above can be the peripheral edge. Of course, if the electronic shelf label is circular, it can be the circumferential edge, etc.

[0081] 2. Potting: Inject epoxy resin glue into the back shell.

[0082] In one embodiment, injecting epoxy resin glue into the accommodation space may include: injecting epoxy resin glue into the accommodation space through a glue injection port (such as Figure 5 The black filled area shown in the figure is all the gaps between the front cover and the back cover, including the long strip gap between the back cover and the electrical components. The epoxy resin glue injected into the accommodation space fully covers the electronic paper display screen including the electrical components, further preventing water vapor from entering, further improving the service life of the electronic paper display screen, and further improving the service life of the electronic shelf label. Figure 4 Among them, 8 is edge sealing glue and 9 is epoxy resin glue.

[0083] 3. Curing: After a certain period of time, the epoxy resin glue is fully bonded and cured to form a complete machine.

[0084] The electrical components are bonded to the back shell with hot melt glue. After bonding, epoxy resin glue is added through the glue injection port 6 to complete the bonding of the electrical components and the back shell, and further seal the electrical components. After the epoxy resin glue is cured, a high-strength sealed whole machine is formed.

[0085] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment realizes:

[0086] 1. Use edge sealing glue on the edge of the screen to block water vapor from entering the four sides of the screen, thereby increasing the service life of the entire machine.

[0087] 2. Use potting epoxy resin glue to isolate the screen from external environmental moisture, thereby increasing the service life of the entire machine.

[0088] 3. Using OCA in electronic shelf labels fully fits the protective front cover and the electronic paper display screen, improving light transmittance and thus improving the display effect.
