Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of display screens, and particularly relates to a display module and a manufacturing process thereof. Background Art

[0002] In order to make the ground levels (voltage levels) of the upper and lower glasses of the TFT-LCD (liquid crystal display screen) consistent and prevent screen flicker problems, it is necessary to apply silver paste at the cross-section points of the upper glass and the lower glass during production. The silver paste connects the high-resistance film on the upper glass and the GND ITO on the lower glass. Since the silver paste is in a flowing state during the application process, it will inevitably come into contact with the upper polarizer. In addition to silver powder and resin, the silver paste also contains various volatile additives, and the proportion of the volatile additives is about 10%. In the traditional curing process of the silver paste at room temperature or in a hot air circulation heating furnace, the curing is from the outside to the inside and the curing time is long. As a result, the volatile additives that cannot volatilize in time inside the silver paste will penetrate into the polarizer, causing white edges, bubbles, deformation of the polarizer, and bulges and wrinkles in the silver paste, thereby resulting in bright edges of the display screen. This process requires strict production control. Summary of the Invention

[0072] In the existing TFT liquid crystal display screen and its manufacturing process, it is easy to cause problems such as white edges, bubbles, deformation of the polarizer and bulging and wrinkling of the silver paste 301.

[0073] In view of the above problems, a display module and its manufacturing process are proposed.

[0074] Embodiment 1

[0075] A display module, as Figure 1 and 2 , Figure 1 is the first schematic diagram of a display module in the present invention, Figure 2It is the second schematic diagram of a display module in the present invention; it includes a cover plate 10 and a display stack structure 30; the display stack structure 30 includes a polarizer stack 310 and a substrate layer 320; the polarizer stack 310 and the substrate layer 320 are respectively arranged on the first side and the second side of the display stack structure 30.
