[0066] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, before elaborating in detail, the touch display device 10 in the related art will be described first.
[0067] Figure 1The figure shows a schematic diagram of a touch display device 10 in an embodiment of the related art. Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of an adhesive unit 13 in an embodiment of the related art.
[0068] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the related art, the touch display device 10 has a display area a and a non-display area b surrounding the display area a. The touch display device 10 includes a display module 11 and a touch panel 12 stacked along a first direction x. The touch display device 10 further includes an adhesive unit 13 bonded between the display module 11 and the touch panel 12. The adhesive unit 13 includes an adhesive layer 131 and an adhesive dam 132 surrounding the adhesive layer 131, and the adhesive dam 132 is located in the non-display area b.
[0069] Specifically, in some embodiments, the touch panel 12 includes a touch module 121 and a cover plate 122 stacked along the first direction x. The cover plate 122 has a visible area 122a and an ink area 122b surrounding the visible area 122a. By means of the visible area 122a and the ink area 122b on the touch panel 12, the touch display device 10 is defined with a display area a and a non-display area b surrounding the display area a. The display module 11 includes a rear iron frame 111, a backlight module 112, a lower polarizer 113, a liquid crystal panel 114, a glass substrate 115, an upper polarizer 116, and a front iron frame 117 stacked along the first direction x. The adhesive layer 131 is bonded between the front iron frame 117, the upper polarizer 116, and the touch module 121. The adhesive dam 132 surrounding the adhesive layer 131 is bonded between the touch module 121 and the front iron frame 117 to achieve the bonding between the touch panel 12 and the display module 11. Further, the touch display device 10 further includes a buffer foam 118 disposed between the glass substrate 115 and the front iron frame 117 to buffer and shock-absorb external forces.
[0070] Exemplarily, the material of the adhesive layer 131 is optical glue, and the material of the adhesive dam 132 is VHB (Very High Bonding) glue. Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the adhesive dam 132 and the front iron frame 117 in the related art jointly form a potting space z by damming, and then the optical glue is poured into the potting space z and cured to form the adhesive layer 131.
[0071] Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a bubble q in an embodiment of the related art; Figure 4 The figure shows a partial schematic diagram of the touch display device 10 in an embodiment of the related art.
[0072] As Figure 3As shown, the inventors of the present application noticed that after transporting the touch display device 10 with no apparent defects in appearance, bubbles q often appear in the display area a of the touch display device 10. Since the VHB glue located in the non-display area b is bonded to the front iron frame 117 of the display module 11, and the ink area 122b of the touch panel 12 covers the VHB glue, it is difficult to directly observe the bubbles q. To find out the source of the bubbles q, as Figure 4 shown, the inventors replaced the cover plate 122 with the ink area 122b with a transparent glass plate, and pressed the transparent glass plate on the display module 11 to conduct tests under test conditions simulating the actual transportation environment. Specifically, it was simulated in an environment of 500 hPa at an altitude of 5500 meters (18000 feet), maintained at 0 degrees for 12 hours and at 40 degrees for 12 hours.
[0073] Figure 5 FIG. shows a partially enlarged schematic view of the touch display device 10 in an embodiment of the related art; Figure 6 shows Figure 5 the enlarged schematic view at m in
[0074] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, after the test, the inventors observed that the bubbles q originated from the edge of the VHB glue. The relatively soft VHB glue is also difficult to operate during bonding, is relatively easy to stretch after bonding, and the cohesive density of the material itself is relatively low. Therefore, when the VHB glue is bonded, due to various factors, such as the limitations of the operating personnel and the cutting process, and also due to the influence of the material itself, such as the length and width of the material design, it is difficult to ensure that there are no fine wrinkles and gaps during bonding, and it is also difficult to ensure that there are no hidden bubbles q in the VHB glue material itself. In addition, when the VHB glue is bonded, whether its back glue is in contact with metal or glass, it is a joint between solid materials, and it is difficult to ensure complete fusion and infiltration, so there must be gaps. In a high-altitude and low-pressure environment, the bubbles q in the gaps expand and flow, and the direction of flow is difficult to control. When the bubbles q flow to the display area a, it causes defects in appearance. Moreover, even if the process of pressurized degassing is increased, there are still bubbles q that cannot be observed by the naked eye, resulting in the risk of bubbles q appearing in the display area a after transportation.
[0075] Figure 7 FIG. shows a schematic view of the bonding unit 13 in another embodiment of the related art; Figure 8 FIG. shows a cross-sectional schematic view of the bonding unit 13 in another embodiment of the related art; Figure 9 FIG. shows a schematic view of the double-sided tape 133 in another embodiment of the related art.
[0076] Combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the inventor has tried to add silicone rubber 134 (i.e., Silicone Rubber) with a high material density between two double-sided adhesives 133 (i.e., DSA, Double-sided adhesive). The double-sided adhesives 133, silicone rubber 134, and double-sided adhesives 133 arranged in layers together form an adhesive unit 13. However, after multiple tests under the foregoing test conditions, the inventor found that air bubbles q still appear in the display area a. Through research, it is found that as Figure 9 shown, due to the long length of the double-sided adhesive 133 and the hardness of the silicone rubber 134, when the adhesive unit 13 with this structure is attached to the front iron frame 117 made of metal material, it is very easy to wrinkle, resulting in the problem of hidden bubbles still occurring.
[0077] Based on this, through in-depth research, the inventor of the present application improved the structure of the adhesive unit in the touch display device, and blocked air bubbles from the inside of the adhesive retaining wall, thereby improving the problem of air bubbles appearing in the display area of the touch display device after transportation.
[0078] For ease of description, the drawings only show the structures related to the embodiments of the present application.
[0079] Figure 10 shows a schematic diagram of a touch display device 100 in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of a stop structure 1303 in an embodiment of the present application.
[0080] Referring to Figure 10 and combining with Figure 11 , a touch display device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The touch display device 100 has a display area A and a non-display area B surrounding the display area A. The touch display device 100 includes a display module 110 and a touch panel 120 arranged in layers along the first direction X. The touch display device 100 further includes an adhesive unit 130 bonded between the display module 110 and the touch panel 120. The adhesive unit 130 includes an adhesive layer 1301 and an adhesive retaining wall 1302 surrounding the adhesive layer 1301. The adhesive retaining wall 1302 is located in the non-display area B. Among them, the adhesive unit 130 further includes a stop structure 1303 located in the non-display area B. The stop structure 1303 is provided between the adhesive layer 1301 and the adhesive retaining wall 1302 to stop air bubbles flowing from the non-display area B to the display area A.
[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the touch display device 100 provided at least includes a display module 110, a touch panel 120, and an adhesive unit 130. The stop structure 1303 in the adhesive unit 130 is disposed between the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the adhesive layer 1301. In an environment such as high altitude and low pressure, it can block the bubbles hidden under the adhesive retaining wall 1302 from flowing to the adhesive layer 1301, thereby blocking the bubbles flowing from the non-display area B to the display area A, and reducing the risk that bubbles appear in the display area A of the touch display device 100 and affect the process yield.
[0082] It should be noted that the touch panel 120 includes a touch module 1201 and a cover plate 1202 stacked along the first direction X. The cover plate 1202 has a visible area 1202a and an ink area 1202b surrounding the visible area 1202a. With the visible area 1202a and the ink area 1202b on the touch panel 120, the touch display device 100 is defined with a display area A and a non-display area B surrounding the display area A.
[0083] Figure 12 The schematic diagram of the first projection P1, the second projection P2, and the third projection P3 in an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0084] As Figure 12 shown, and in combination with Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the projection of the stop structure 1303 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X is defined as the first projection P1, and the projection of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X is defined as the second projection P2. The profiles of the first projection P1 and the second projection P2 facing each other coincide. It can be understood that that is, the edges of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the stop structure 1303 facing each other are in contact without a gap. In this way, the stop of the stop structure 1303 for the bubbles is more direct, and the risk of hiding more bubbles due to the existence of a gap can be reduced. Moreover, in combination with some embodiments described later, during coating, the coating position of the stop structure 1303 can be positioned by means of the adhesive retaining wall 1302, and the coating direction can be guided.
[0085] Please continue to combine Figure 10 and Figure 12 shown, in some embodiments, the projection of the stop structure 1303 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X is defined as the first projection P1, and the projection of the adhesive layer 1301 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X is defined as the third projection P3. The profiles of the first projection P1 and the third projection P3 facing each other coincide. It can be understood that that is, the edges of the adhesive layer 1301 and the stop structure 1303 facing each other are in contact without a gap. In this way, the risk of hiding more bubbles due to the existence of a gap can be reduced.
[0086] As Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the stopping structure 1303 is configured to be sticky so as to adhere between the display module 110 and the touch panel 120. Since the stopping structure 1303 is disposed between the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the adhesive layer 1301, and the adhesive retaining wall 1302 is disposed around the adhesive layer 1301, it can be understood that the stopping structure 1303 is also disposed around the adhesive layer 1301, that is, it is formed at the edge portion of the touch display device 100. By virtue of the adhesive force of the stopping structure 1303, it can serve as a reinforcing structure, making the adhesion between the display module 110 and the touch panel 120 more stable and improving the interlayer separation phenomenon caused by insufficient edge strength.
[0087] Please continue to refer to Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the material of the stopping structure 1303 is one of silicone, rubber or acrylic glue. When silicone, rubber or acrylic glue is coated on the inner side of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 in a fluid state, the gap that may exist between it and the adhesive retaining wall 1302 can be minimized. Moreover, the materials of silicone, rubber or acrylic glue are softer, and the fitting effect with the fitting surface of the display module 110 is better, improving the bubble stopping effect. In some other embodiments, the material of the stopping structure 1303 can also be two-component mixed curing glue (AB glue), polyurethane glue (PU glue), sealing tape or other materials, as long as it can stop the bubbles flowing from the display area A to the non-display area B, which is not limited herein.
[0088] Refer to Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the material of the adhesive layer 1301 is optical glue. The optical glue (Optically Clear Adhesive, OCR) has characteristics such as high transmittance and low reflection, and it has better optical effects. With the adhesive layer 1301 made of optical glue, the display effect of the display area A is better, thereby improving the display effect of the touch display device 100. At the same time, compared with the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the stopping structure 1303, the adhesive layer 1301 made of optical glue has a lower adhesive strength. By virtue of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the stopping structure 1303, the adhesive strength of the adhesive unit 130 can be improved, making the adhesion between the touch panel 120 and the display module 110 more stable.
[0089] Refer to Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the material of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 is VHB (Very High Bonding) glue. The VHB glue has strong adhesive force and good cohesive strength, that is, it has the ability to resist external forces and maintain itself without being damaged. Of course, in some other embodiments, it can also be a double-sided glue such as polyurethane glue (PU glue) or silicone rubber with relatively close cohesive force, which is not limited herein.
[0090] Combined with some of the foregoing embodiments, such as Figure 10 shown, the display module 110 further includes a rear iron frame 1101, a backlight module 1102, a lower polarizer 1103, a liquid crystal panel 1104, a glass substrate 1105, an upper polarizer 1106, and a front iron frame 1107 that are stacked in the first direction X. The adhesive layer 1301 is bonded between the front iron frame 1107, the upper polarizer 1106, and the touch control module 1201. The adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the retaining structure 1303 surrounding the outside of the adhesive layer 1301 are both bonded between the touch control module 1201 and the front iron frame 1107 to achieve the bonding between the touch panel 120 and the display module 110. Further, the touch display device 100 further includes a buffer foam 1108 disposed between the glass substrate 1105 and the front iron frame 1107 to buffer and dampen external forces.
[0091] Figure 13 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the test process of the touch display device 100 in an embodiment of the present application.
[0092] As Figure 13 shown, and combined with Figure 10 , combined with some of the foregoing embodiments, the inventor replaced the cover plate 1202 having the ink area 1202b with a transparent glass plate, and by pressing the transparent glass plate on the display module 110, the test was carried out under the test conditions simulating the actual transportation environment. Specifically, in an environment of 500 hPa at an altitude of 5500 meters (18000 feet), it was maintained at 0 degrees for 12 hours and at 40 degrees for 12 hours. After multiple tests, it was found that no bubbles appeared at the inner side of the retaining structure 1303, that is, at the edge adjacent to the adhesive layer 1301. It can be seen therefrom that no bubbles will appear in the display area A of the touch display device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, improving the defect that bubbles appear after the touch display device 100 is transported, resulting in poor appearance.
[0093] Figure 14 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the process of the manufacturing method of the touch display device 100 in an embodiment of the present application.
[0094] Based on the same inventive concept, as Figure 14 shown, and combined with Figure 10 and Figure 11 , on the other hand, the present application further provides a manufacturing method of a touch display device 100, the method including:
[0095] S110. Form an adhesive retaining wall 1302 along the circumference on the bonding surface of the display module 110;
[0096] S120. Form a retaining structure 1303 inside the adhesive retaining wall 1302; the retaining structure 1303 encloses to form a glue filling space Z;
[0097] S130. Form an adhesive layer 1301 within the potting space Z; the adhesive retaining wall 1302, the retaining structure 1303, and the adhesive layer 1301 together form an adhesive unit 130.
[0098] S140. By means of the adhesive unit 130, bond the touch panel 120 to the bonding surface of the display module 110 along the first direction X to form a touch display device 100.
[0099] Among them, the touch display device 100 has a display area A and a non-display area B surrounding the display area A, and the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the retaining structure 1303 are located in the non-display area B.
[0100] In step S110, in combination with some of the foregoing embodiments, the bonding surface of the display module 110 refers to the surface on one side of the display module 110 for bonding with the touch panel 120. Specifically, the bonding surface of the display module 110 is jointly formed by the front iron frame 1107, the upper polarizer 1106, and a partial surface of the glass substrate 1105. The adhesiveretaining wall 1302 formed along the circumferential direction is also to use the adhesive retaining wall 1302 to build a dam for subsequent formation of the retaining structure 1303 and the adhesive layer 1301.
[0101] In step S120, the inner side of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 is the side of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 closer to the display area A. The retaining structure 1303 formed along the inner side of the adhesive retaining wall 1302 can enclose the potting space Z, thus facilitating the subsequent formation of the adhesive layer 1301.
[0102] In step S130, during the process of forming the adhesive layer 1301 within the potting space Z by means of the blocking of the retaining structure 1303 and the adhesive retaining wall 1302, situations such as possible glue overflow can be alleviated. By means of the cooperative action of the adhesive retaining wall 1302, the retaining structure 1303, and the adhesive layer 1301, an adhesive unit 130 capable of bonding the touch panel 120 and the display module 110 is formed.
[0103] In step S140, the first direction X is perpendicular to the bonding surface.
[0104] Combined with Figure 10 and Figure 14As shown in the figure, in the manufacturing method of the touch display device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application, the bonding unit 130 formed by bonding the retaining wall 1302, the blocking structure 1303 and the bonding layer 1301 can reliably bond the touch panel 120 and the display module 110. Among them, the blocking structure 1303 in the bonding unit 130 is arranged between the bonding retaining wall 1302 and the bonding layer 1301. In an environment such as high altitude and low pressure, it can block the bubbles hidden under the bonding retaining wall 1302 from flowing to the bonding layer 1301, thereby blocking the bubbles flowing from the non-display area B to the display area A, and reducing the risk that bubbles appear in the display area A of the touch display device 100 and affect the process yield.
[0105] It should be noted that, in combination with some of the foregoing embodiments, to ensure the bonding strength of the bonding retaining wall 1302 and the blocking structure 1303, when selecting materials, the optical effects of the bonding retaining wall 1302 and the blocking structure 1303 are relatively poor, while the bonding layer 1301 made of optical glue has better optical effects. The bonding retaining wall 1302 and the blocking structure 1303 are located in the non-display area B, that is, it is ensured that the part for bonding the touch panel 120 and the display module 110 in the display area A is the bonding layer 1301, which improves the display effect of the touch display device 100.
[0106] Combined with Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, step S120 specifically includes forming the blocking structure 1303 on the inner side of the bonding retaining wall 1302 through a dispensing process. The dispensing process can evenly and accurately cover the inner side of the bonding retaining wall 1302 with glue. The dispensing process can better control the amount of glue dispensed, resulting in a better bonding effect and a simple process.
[0107] Further, after forming the blocking structure 1303 on the inner side of the bonding retaining wall 1302 through the dispensing process, the method further includes the step of curing the bonding retaining wall 1302 and the blocking structure 1303 through a pressure maintaining and curing process. The pressure maintaining and curing process means that during the curing process of the bonding retaining wall 1302 and the blocking structure 1303, a certain pressure is applied to them and maintained for a certain period of time. The pressure maintaining and curing process can evenly disperse and spread the glue, so that the curing effect of the glue is better, and it can also improve the adhesive force of the glue. In the present application, through one process, the pressure maintaining action of the bonding retaining wall 1302 and the blocking structure 1303 is completed at the same time, and there is no need for secondary pressure maintaining for the blocking structure 1303, which can effectively save the process and improve the efficiency.
[0108] Combined with Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments, step S130 specifically includes forming an adhesive layer 1301 in the potting space Z through a potting process. Combining with the foregoing some embodiments, the potting process refers to pouring a liquid optical adhesive into the potting space Z and then curing it to achieve the bonding between the touch panel 120 and the display module 110.
[0109] Based on the same inventive concept, on the other hand, the present application further provides an electronic device including the above-mentioned touch display device 100. Thus, by using the touch display device 100 in the foregoing some embodiments, the risk of bubbles appearing in the display area A can be reduced, the process yield of the electronic device can be improved, and the display effect of the electronic device can also be enhanced.
[0110] The above-mentioned electronic device can be applied to fields such as mobile phone terminals, bionic electronics, electronic skin, wearable devices, vehicle-mounted devices, Internet of Things devices, and artificial intelligence devices. For example, the above-mentioned electronic device can be a mobile phone terminal, a tablet, a palm computer, an ipod, a smart watch, a laptop computer, a television, a monitor, etc.
[0111] Combined with Figures 10 to 14 As shown, the touch display device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application at least includes a display module 110, a touch panel 120, and an adhesive unit 130. The blocking structure 1303 in the adhesive unit 130 is disposed between the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the adhesive layer 1301. In an environment such as high altitude and low pressure, it can block the bubbles hidden under the adhesive retaining wall 1302 from flowing to the adhesive layer 1301, thereby blocking the bubbles flowing from the non-display area B to the display area A, and reducing the risk that bubbles appear in the display area A of the touch display device 100 and affect the process yield. Moreover, by virtue of the adhesive force of the blocking structure 1303, it can serve as a reinforcing structure, making the bonding between the display module 110 and the touch panel 120 more reliable and improving the interlayer separation phenomenon caused by insufficient edge strength. The manufacturing method of the touch display device 100 can reliably bond the touch panel 120 and the display module 110. By forming the blocking structure 1303 through a dispensing process, not only can the amount of glue be better controlled, but the process is also simple. In addition, through one process, the pressure maintaining actions of both the adhesive retaining wall 1302 and the blocking structure 1303 can be completed simultaneously, without secondary pressure maintaining for the blocking structure 1303, effectively saving the process and improving the manufacturing efficiency. For the electronic device applying the touch display device 100 provided by the present application, the risk of bubbles appearing on the appearance is greatly reduced, and the yield is improved.
