[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Many specific details of the present invention are described below, such as component structures, materials, dimensions, processing techniques and technologies, in order to more clearly understand the present invention. However, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, the present invention may be implemented without following these specific details.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a backlight module, which includes: a light source 2, a flexible circuit board 3, a backboard 1 and a connection structure 4.

[0032] The flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the light source 2 and used to provide voltage to the light source 2. The flexible circuit board 3 has a first gold finger 31. The back plate 1 is used to carry the light source 2 and the flexible circuit board 3. The back plate 1 has a mounting through hole 11. At least part of the first gold finger 31 is penetrated in the mounting through hole 11. The connection structure 4 has a second gold finger 41 at the first end. The second gold finger 41 is connected to the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3.

[0033] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the back plate 1 is used to carry the remaining structures in the backlight module, and the structure of the back plate 1 is equivalent to a coverless box body with a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity is used to receive the light source 2, the flexible circuit board 3 or the remaining structures of the backlight module. The mounting through hole 11 can be set on the side wall of the back plate 1, and the size of the mounting through hole 11 can match the size of the first gold finger 31, that is, the first gold finger 31 can pass through the mounting through hole 11.

[0034] The flexible circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the light source 2 in order to provide voltage to the light source 2 so that the light source 2 can be lit. It should be noted that the light source 2 here can be an LED light bar, or other suitable light sources 2.

[0035] The first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the array substrate through the connection structure 4 , that is, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 only needs to lead the voltage input end of the flexible circuit board 3 out of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 .

[0036] It should be noted that, in the backlight module of the prior art, the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 is directly connected to the array substrate through the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, which requires the structure of the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 to be relatively large and complex (equivalent to the flexible circuit board 3 and the connection structure 4 in this embodiment). Therefore, the process of installing the flexible circuit board 3 is relatively cumbersome, especially the process of passing the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 through the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 requires manual operation to avoid damage to the structure of the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3.

[0037] In the backlight module of the present embodiment, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the array substrate through the connecting structure 4, that is, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 only needs to lead the voltage input end of the flexible circuit board 3 out of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, so that the structure of the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is simpler than the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 in the prior art. Therefore, the preparation of the backlight module of the present embodiment can be automated, that is, the preparation of the backlight module of the present embodiment can be completed using automated equipment without the need for manual operation by the staff, thereby making the preparation of the backlight module of the present embodiment simpler, and can improve production efficiency and save costs.

[0038] Preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the first direction, the size of the connection structure 4 is larger than the size of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 , and the first direction is a direction parallel to the maximum size of the mounting through hole 11 .

[0039] Among them, since in the backlight module of this embodiment, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the array substrate through the connecting structure 4, that is, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 only needs to lead the voltage input end of the flexible circuit board 3 out of the mounting hole 11 of the back plate 1, so the structure of the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is relatively small, and therefore the size of the mounting hole 11 can also be relatively small; in order to ensure the stable connection between the flexible circuit board 3 and the array substrate, the size of the connecting structure 4 needs to be designed to be larger.

[0040] The first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is led out of the mounting hole 11 of the back plate 1 before being welded to the second gold finger 41. Therefore, even if the size of the connecting structure 4 is larger than the size of the mounting hole 11 of the back plate 1, it will not affect the installation of the light source 2 and the flexible circuit board 3.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the backlight module of the prior art, the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 is directly connected to the array substrate through the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, which requires the structure of the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 to be relatively large and complex (equivalent to the flexible circuit board 3 and the connecting structure 4 in this embodiment). Therefore, the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 also needs to be set relatively large to enable the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 to pass through. A larger mounting through hole 11 will reduce the strength of the back plate 1, thereby increasing the risk of deformation of the back plate 1.

[0042] In the backlight module of the present embodiment, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the array substrate through the connecting structure 4, that is, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 only needs to lead the voltage input end of the flexible circuit board 3 out of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, so that the structure of the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is relatively small. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the size of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 of the present embodiment is smaller, thereby enhancing the strength of the back plate 1 and reducing the deformation risk of the back plate 1.

[0043] Preferably, Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the first gold finger 31 has a first binding area 32, the second gold finger 41 has a second binding area, the first binding area 32 has multiple first welding sub-areas 321, the second binding area has multiple second welding sub-areas, the first welding sub-areas 321 are connected to the second welding sub-areas to realize the connection between the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41.

[0044] That is to say, the connection between the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 is achieved by welding between the first welding sub-area 321 and the second welding sub-area.

[0045] It should be noted that the second welding sub-region in the second welding sub-region is similar to the first welding sub-region 321 , which is not shown in the figure.

[0046] Preferably, the plurality of first welding sub-areas 321 are arranged in an array or in a row, and the plurality of second welding sub-areas are arranged in an array or in a row.

[0047] One of the situations is: Figure 5a As shown, a plurality of first welding sub-areas 321 are arranged in an array, and a plurality of second welding sub-areas are arranged in an array, and the first welding sub-areas 321 correspond to the second welding sub-areas one by one.

[0048] Another situation is: Figure 5b As shown, a plurality of first welding sub-areas 321 are arranged in a row, a plurality of second welding sub-areas are arranged in a row, and the first welding sub-areas 321 correspond to the second welding sub-areas one by one.

[0049] The provision of the plurality of first welding sub-areas 321 and the second welding sub-areas makes the connection between the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 more stable, thereby making the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 have greater mechanical strength.

[0050] Preferably, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 includes a first strip structure 33 and a second strip structure 34 connected to the first strip structure 33 , and the first strip structure 33 is perpendicular to the second strip structure 34 ; the second gold finger 41 of the connecting structure 4 is connected to the second strip structure 34 .

[0051] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the first golden finger 31 is L-shaped, and the two sides of the L-shape are the first strip structure 33 and the second strip structure 34 , and the first strip structure 33 is inserted into the mounting through hole 11 .

[0052] Preferably, the backlight module further includes: protective glue, which is disposed in the first binding area 32 or the second binding area and located on the surface of the first golden finger 31 away from the second golden finger 41 or on the surface of the second golden finger 41 away from the first golden finger 31 .

[0053] That is to say, there is protective glue on the non-welding surfaces of the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 to prevent the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 from being damaged due to welding.

[0054] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the protective glue at least includes an anti-oxidation glue layer 51 and a reinforcing glue layer 52. The anti-oxidation glue layer 51 is in contact with the first gold finger 31 or the surface opposite to the welding surface of the first gold finger 31, and the reinforcing glue layer 52 is in contact with the anti-oxidation glue layer 51, which is equivalent to the anti-oxidation glue layer 51 being located between the first gold finger 31 or the first gold finger 31 and the reinforcing glue layer 52.

[0055] It should be noted that the distribution structure of the protective adhesive in the second binding area is similar to the distribution structure of the protective adhesive in the first binding area 32 , and will not be described in detail herein.

[0056] Embodiment 2:

[0057] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a backlight module, based on the backlight module in Embodiment 1, comprising:

[0058] S11, install the light source 2 and the flexible circuit board 3 on the back plate 1, the flexible circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the light source 2, the back plate 1 has a mounting through hole 11, the flexible circuit board 3 has a first gold finger 31, and at least part of the first gold finger 31 is inserted into the mounting through hole 11.

[0059] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the back plate 1 is used to carry the remaining structures in the backlight module, and the structure of the back plate 1 is equivalent to a coverless box body with a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity is used to receive the light source 2, the flexible circuit board 3 or the remaining structures of the backlight module. The mounting through hole 11 can be set on the side wall of the back plate 1, and the size of the mounting through hole 11 can match the size of the first gold finger 31, that is, the first gold finger 31 can pass through the mounting through hole 11.

[0060] The flexible circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the light source 2 in order to provide voltage to the light source 2 so that the light source 2 can be lit. It should be noted that the light source 2 here can be an LED light bar, or other suitable light sources 2.

[0061] Specifically, installing the light source 2 and the flexible circuit board 3 on the back plate 1 includes: installing the light source 2 and the flexible circuit board 3 on the back plate 1 using an automatic installation device.

[0062] That is to say, in this step, the electrical connection between the flexible circuit board 3 and the light source 2 and the insertion of the first gold finger 31 through the installation through hole 11 are all completed by the automatic installation equipment without manual operation.

[0063] S12 , connecting the second golden finger 41 at the first end of the connection structure 4 to the first golden finger 31 .

[0064] The connection structure 4 is mainly used to connect the flexible circuit board 3 of the backlight module with the electrodes of the array substrate, so that the connection structure 4 transmits the electrical signal to the flexible circuit board 3, thereby making the light source 2 emit light.

[0065] Specifically, the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 are connected by welding using automatic welding equipment.

[0066] In this step, the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 can be connected by welding, and the connection process is completed by automatic welding equipment without manual operation.

[0067] It should be noted that, in the preparation process of the backlight module of the prior art, the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 is directly connected to the array substrate through the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, which requires the structure of the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 to be relatively large and complex (equivalent to the flexible circuit board 3 and the connection structure 4 in this embodiment). Therefore, the process of installing the flexible circuit board 3 is relatively cumbersome, especially the process of passing the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 through the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 requires manual operation to avoid damage to the structure of the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3.

[0068] During the preparation of the backlight module of the present embodiment, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the array substrate through the connecting structure 4, that is, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 only needs to lead the voltage input end of the flexible circuit board 3 out of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, so that the structure of the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is simpler than the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 in the prior art. Therefore, the preparation of the backlight module of the present embodiment can be automated, that is, the preparation of the backlight module of the present embodiment can be completed using automated equipment without manual operation by the staff, thereby making the preparation of the backlight module of the present embodiment simpler, and can improve production efficiency and save costs.

[0069] In addition, connecting the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 by welding includes: coating protective glue on the surface opposite to the welding surface of the first gold finger 31 , and coating protective glue on the surface opposite to the welding surface of the second gold finger 41 .

[0070] That is, before welding, protective glue needs to be applied on the non-welding surfaces of the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 to prevent the first gold finger 31 and the second gold finger 41 from being damaged during the welding process.

[0071] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the protective glue at least includes an anti-oxidation glue layer 51 and a reinforcing glue layer 52. The anti-oxidation glue layer 51 is in contact with the first gold finger 31 or the surface opposite to the welding surface of the first gold finger 31, and the reinforcing glue layer 52 is in contact with the anti-oxidation glue layer 51, which is equivalent to the anti-oxidation glue layer 51 being located between the first gold finger 31 or the first gold finger 31 and the reinforcing glue layer 52.

[0072] Preferably, in the first direction (such as Figure 2 ), the size of the connecting structure 4 is larger than the size of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, and the first direction is parallel to the direction of the maximum size of the mounting through hole 11.

[0073] Among them, since in the preparation process of the backlight module of this embodiment, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the array substrate through the connecting structure 4, that is, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 only needs to lead the voltage input end of the flexible circuit board 3 out of the mounting hole 11 of the back plate 1, so the structure of the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is relatively small, and therefore the size of the mounting hole 11 can also be relatively small; and in order to ensure the stable connection between the flexible circuit board 3 and the array substrate, the size of the connecting structure 4 needs to be designed to be larger.

[0074] The first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is led out of the mounting hole 11 of the back plate 1 before being welded to the second gold finger 41. Therefore, even if the size of the connecting structure 4 is larger than the size of the mounting hole 11 of the back plate 1, it will not affect the installation of the light source 2 and the flexible circuit board 3.

[0075] It should be noted that, in the preparation process of the backlight module in the prior art, the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 is directly connected to the array substrate through the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, which requires the structure of the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 to be relatively large and complex (equivalent to the flexible circuit board 3 and the connection structure 4 in this embodiment). Therefore, the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 also needs to be set relatively large to enable the gold finger end of the flexible circuit board 3 to pass through. A larger mounting through hole 11 will reduce the strength of the back plate 1, thereby increasing the risk of deformation of the back plate 1.

[0076] During the preparation process of the backlight module of the present embodiment, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is connected to the array substrate through the connecting structure 4, that is, the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 only needs to lead the voltage input end of the flexible circuit board 3 out of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1, so that the structure of the first gold finger 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 is relatively small. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the size of the mounting through hole 11 of the back plate 1 of the present embodiment is smaller, thereby enhancing the strength of the back plate 1 and reducing the deformation risk of the back plate 1.
