Figure 1 However, the overall thickness of the existing backlight module 11 is relatively thick, and the preparation cost is relatively high.

As shown in FIG. 2, the surface of the second insulating layer 122 away from the substrate 117 can be multiplexed to form the light enhancement unit 107; as shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the third insulating layer 124 away from the substrate 117 can be multiplexed to form the light enhancement unit 107; as shown in FIG. 4, the surface of the insulating planarization layer 116 away from the substrate 117 can be multiplexed to form the light enhancement unit 107. Figure 11 Figure 10 Figure 12 ​​As shown, the second insulating layer 122 and the third insulating layer 124 can be used to form light enhancement units 107 on the side surface away from the substrate 117, and the cross-sectional shapes of the light enhancement units 107 are the same, which ensures that the light emitted by the backlight module 101 is adjusted twice to ensure the light emission effect. Due to different use requirements of the display module 100, the light enhancement units 107 need to be adjusted differently, so the cross-sectional shapes of the light enhancement units 107 formed on the surfaces of the second insulating layer 122 and the third insulating layer 124 can be the same or different, which can achieve the light enhancement effect and avoid setting the light enhancement units 107 in the backlight module 101. At the same time, the film layers in the first display panel 102 are reused, which avoids setting additional film layers, reduces the thickness of the backlight module 101, and reduces the overall thickness of the display module 100, and ensures the display effect of the display module 100.

[0056] Optionally, Figure 13 Another structural schematic diagram of a display module provided by an embodiment of the present application is provided, Figure 14 Another structural schematic diagram of a display module provided by an embodiment of the present application is provided, as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the first substrate 109 is provided with a substrate 117 on one side, at least one thin film transistor 118 is provided on one side of the substrate 117, a buffer layer 126 is further provided on one side of the first substrate 109, the buffer layer 126 is located between the thin film transistor 118 and the substrate 117, and the surface of the buffer layer 126 away from the substrate 117 is reused as a light enhancement unit 107.

[0057] The buffer layer 126 is usually an inorganic insulating layer formed by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition, and the surface of the buffer layer 126 away from the substrate 117 can be subjected to patterning treatment to form a light enhancement unit 107, so that the light emitted by the backlight module 101 can be adjusted in time. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the light enhancement unit 107 is an isosceles triangle, so that the light at a large angle can be deflected by the side wall of the light enhancement unit 107, thereby adjusting the light at a large angle to be emitted at a normal viewing angle, increasing the light emission at the normal viewing angle, ensuring the light emission effect, and further ensuring the display effect of the subsequent display panel. As shown, Figure 14 As shown, the first insulating layer 122, the second insulating layer 122, the third insulating layer 124, and the buffer layer 126 are used to form light enhancement units 107 on the surfaces away from the substrate 117, which further improves the light enhancement effect and ensures the display effect of the display module 100.

[0058] Optionally, Figure 15 Another structural schematic diagram of a display module provided by an embodiment of the present application is provided, as Figure 15As shown, the brightening unit 107 includes a plurality of patterned structures 127; the shape of the patterned structure 127 includes at least one of a right-angled triangular pyramid, a regular triangular pyramid, a frustum, a truncated cone, and a cone.

[0059] The light enhancement unit 107 is composed of multiple patterned structures 127. The shape of the patterned structure 127 can be selected according to the actual light adjustment requirements. For example, the shape of the patterned structure 127 includes at least one of a right triangular pyramid, a regular triangular pyramid, a frustum, a pyramid, and a cone. In any plane perpendicular to the light emission direction of the display module 100, the cross-sectional shape of the patterned structure 127 can be a right triangle, an isosceles triangle, an equilateral triangle, an isosceles trapezoid, etc. The specific shape of the patterned structure 127 can be selected according to the actual design requirements. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations. Figure 15 The example is illustrated by using a right-angled triangle with an asymmetrical cross-sectional shape of the patterned structure 127, so that all emitted light rays are emitted in the same direction. In practical applications, when the display module 100 is used in a vehicle display, the position, number, and shape of the brightening unit 107 can be reasonably set to differentiate the design for the driver's seat and the passenger seat. By adjusting the brightening unit 107 in the display module 100 corresponding to the passenger seat to have an asymmetrical design, the light emission angle can be adjusted so that the passenger seat can see the display screen while the driver's seat cannot, thus ensuring safe driving.

Figure 16 As shown, the patterned structure 127 may include multiple protruding structures 1272, each of which can adjust the light emission direction after passing through the sidewall of the groove structure 1271 or the sidewall of the protruding structure 1272, forming uniformly diffused light in all directions to ensure display effect. The light emitted from the backlight module 101, after passing through the patterned structure 127, focuses the originally wide-angle diffused light into a certain angle range, thereby increasing the brightness within a certain angle range and adjusting the light emission angle.

[0062] Optional, Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of another display module provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below.
