[0032] As display devices become increasingly powerful, they generate more and more heat. If heat cannot be effectively dissipated, it will seriously affect the lifespan of the display devices.
[0033] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a backlight module and display device. By incorporating a contact liquid cooling system and a heat absorption device, the problems are effectively solved.
[0034] The backlight module and display device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

In this embodiment, the backlight module 100 includes a back plate 20, a frame 10, a light-emitting device 82, a light guide plate 81, and a first sealing connector group 71.
[0036] A frame 10 is arranged around the back panel 20 to form a receiving groove 30 on one side of the back panel 20. A light-emitting device 82 is disposed within the receiving groove 30. A light guide plate 81 is disposed on the back panel 20, corresponding to the light-emitting device 82. Light emitted from the light-emitting device 82 enters the light guide plate 81 from one end. Specifically, in this application, the backlight module 100 is a side-lit backlight module 100. The side-lit backlight module 100 includes a light guide plate 81 and a light-emitting device 82 located on the side. The light-emitting device 82 provides a side light source. After the side light source enters the light guide plate 81, the light guide plate 81 converts the side light source into a surface light source and emits light uniformly. The frame 10 is used to limit and fix the light-emitting device 82, the back panel 20, the light guide plate 81, etc. The frame 10 is also arranged around the perimeter to protect the backlight module 100.
[0037] Both the light-emitting device 82 and the light guide plate 81 are located within the receiving groove 30. The first sealing connector group 71 connects the fixing frame 10 and the light guide plate 81, and simultaneously forms a sealed cavity 321 within the receiving groove 30 to enclose the light-emitting device 82. The sealed cavity 321 is filled with coolant. Specifically, the formation of the sealed cavity 321 allows the coolant within the sealed cavity 321 to directly contact the light-emitting device 82. The directly contacting coolant can immediately absorb the heat generated by the light-emitting device 82 and disperse the heat with the diffusion of the coolant, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect, greatly improving the heat dissipation efficiency, and effectively extending the service life of the backlight module 100.
[0038] Unlike existing technologies, this application proposes a backlight module 100, which forms a sealed cavity 321 enclosing the light-emitting device 82. Coolant is injected into the sealed cavity 321 so that the coolant in the sealed cavity 321 can directly contact the light-emitting device 82. The directly contacting coolant can immediately absorb the heat generated by the light-emitting device 82 and disperse the heat with the diffusion of the coolant, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect, greatly improving the heat dissipation efficiency, and effectively extending the service life of the backlight module 100.
[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the backlight module 100 is also provided with a heat absorption device 40, which is located on the side of the sealed cavity 321. The coolant in the sealed cavity 321 absorbs and evenly heats the heat generated by the light-emitting device 82. In addition, the heat absorption device 40 can absorb the heat of the coolant, so that the heat in the sealed cavity 321 can be dissipated. The heat is evenly heated by the light-emitting device 82 by the coolant, and then the heat is dissipated by the heat absorption device 40 from the sealed cavity 321. The above greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency and effectively extends the service life of the backlight module 100.
[0040] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 30 includes adjacent first blind grooves 31 and second blind grooves 32. The frame 10 includes a frame sidewall 11 and a top wall 12. The frame sidewall 11 is arranged around the back plate 20. The back plate 20 has a partition wall 21, which divides the receiving groove 30 into adjacent first blind grooves 31 and second blind grooves 32. The light-emitting device 82 is disposed on the side of the partition wall 21 facing the second blind groove 32. The top wall 12 covers the first blind groove 31 and partially covers the second blind groove 32. A sealed cavity 321 for sealing the light-emitting device 82 is formed on the side of the second blind groove 32 near the partition wall 21 by the first sealing connector assembly 71. Specifically, the receiving groove 30 is divided into the first blind groove 31 and the second blind groove 32 by the partition wall 21. The flexible circuit board, the driving chip, etc. are located in the first blind groove 31, and the light-emitting device 82 is driven to emit light by the flexible circuit board and the driving chip in the first blind groove 31. Therefore, the light-emitting device 82 is positioned on the side of the partition wall 21 facing the second blind slot 32 to reduce wiring distance. The light-emitting device 82 includes a circuit board (not shown) fixed to the partition wall 21 and a light-emitting chip (not shown) mounted on the circuit board. Wiring holes (not shown) are provided in the area of the partition wall 21 covered by the circuit board, through which the wiring passes, allowing the driving chip in the first blind slot to drive the light-emitting chip in the second blind slot. In some embodiments, the wiring hole area is also covered with sealant to prevent coolant leakage from the sealed cavity 321. The top wall 12 covers the first blind slot 31, sealing it and protecting the components inside. The first sealing connector assembly 71 provides a seal, forming a sealed cavity 321 enclosing the light-emitting device 82. The sealed cavity 321 is located within the second blind slot 32, and coolant is injected into it, directly contacting the light-emitting device 82 for heat dissipation. The first sealing connector group 71 is used to connect the fixed frame 10 and the light guide plate 81. The first sealing connector group 71 is also used to assist in forming the sealing cavity 321. When the fixed frame 10 and the light guide plate 81 are connected by the first sealing connector group 71, the sealing cavity 321 is automatically formed.
[0041] As described above, the heat-absorbing device 40 is located on one side of the sealed cavity 321. The first blind slot 31 corresponds to the frame area of the backlight module 100, i.e., the non-display area. The first blind slot 31 can be used to accommodate flexible circuit boards, driver chips, etc. The light-emitting device 82 and the light guide plate 81 are both located in the second blind slot 32. The light-emitting device 82 is a side light source and is located on the side wall of the second blind slot 32 near the first blind slot 31. In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the backlight module 100, this application simultaneously provides a coolant and a heat-absorbing device 40. First, the first sealing connector group 71 is used to connect the frame 10 and the light guide plate 81. The first sealing connector group 71 is also a sealing device. The first sealing connector group 71 also forms a sealed cavity 321 that closes the light-emitting device 82. By setting the coolant in the sealed cavity 321, the coolant directly contacts the light-emitting device 82. The coolant can quickly cool the light-emitting device 82 and disperse the heat. As the coolant diffuses, the heat is carried away. On the other hand, this application also absorbs the heat of the coolant through the heat absorption device 40. The light-emitting device 82 and the light guide plate 81 are both disposed above the back plate 20. The heat absorption device 40 is embedded in the area corresponding to the sealing cavity 321 inside the back plate 20. The heat absorption device 40 can quickly dissipate the heat in the sealing cavity 321, so that the heat of the light-emitting device 82 is absorbed and diffused by the coolant, and the heat of the coolant is then absorbed by the heat absorption device 40 and discharged. The above improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the backlight module 100.
[0042] Furthermore, the coolant can specifically be alcohol, glycerin, ethylene glycol, etc. In this embodiment, ultrapure water is preferred as the coolant. Ultrapure water has the characteristics of insulation, high specific heat capacity, and colorless transparency. Using ultrapure water as the coolant can prevent short circuits in the backlight module 100, improve heat dissipation, and not affect the propagation of light emitted by the light-emitting device 82.
[0043] Further, in this embodiment, the first sealing connector assembly 71 includes: a first sealant 711 disposed on the light guide plate 81, with a first groove 712 formed on the side of the first sealant 711 away from the light guide plate 81. A first inverted wall 51 extending towards the back plate 20 is formed on the edge of the top wall 12 away from the partition wall 21. A first protrusion 713 is provided on the top wall 12 corresponding to the first groove 712, and the first protrusion 713 is interference-fitted into the first groove 712 to form a sealing cavity 321. Corresponding grooves 53 and second protrusions 714 are formed on the opposite surfaces of the first sealant 711 and the first inverted wall 51. The second protrusion 714 is embedded in the groove 53 to secure the adhesive frame 10 and the light guide plate 81. Specifically, when installing the backlight module 100, the second protrusion 714 is inserted into the groove 53, fixing the frame 10 and the light guide plate 81 together. When the second protrusion 714 is inserted into the groove 53, the first protrusion 713 will be interference-fitted into the first slot 712, thereby forming a sealed cavity 321 that does not leak liquid. In order to ensure that the coolant does not leak, the materials of the first sealant 711 and the first protrusion 713 have a certain toughness, preferably thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. The sealant and the first protrusion 713 have a certain toughness, ensuring that when the first protrusion 713 is inserted into the first slot 712, it will be interference-fitted and squeezed together with the first slot 712, thus ensuring the sealing effect.
[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first slot 712 is preferably a V-shaped slot, with the bottom dimension of the first slot 712 being smaller than the opening dimension. The first protrusion 713 contacts the middle section of the V-shaped slot and is press-fitted together with it. This structural design provides a better interference fit, improves the sealing effect, and ensures that the coolant does not leak.
[0045] In this embodiment, the backlight module 100 further includes a second sealing connector assembly 72, which includes a second sealant 721 disposed on the back plate 20, located in the first blind groove 31. A second slot 722 is formed on the side of the second sealant 721 away from the back plate 20. A third protrusion 723 is provided on the top wall 12 corresponding to the second slot 722, and the third protrusion 723 is interference-fitted into the second slot 722. A fourth protrusion 724 is formed on the side of the second sealant 721 away from the partition wall 21. A second inverted wall 52 is formed on the side wall 11 of the frame, and the second inverted wall 52 abuts against the fourth protrusion 724 to securely fix the back plate 20 and the frame 10. Specifically, the second sealing connector assembly 72 and the first sealing connector assembly 71 cooperate to connect and fix the backlight module 100. The second inverted wall 52 and the fourth protrusion 724 abut against each other to securely fix the back plate 20 and the frame 10. When the second inverted wall 52 and the fourth protrusion 724 abut against each other, the fourth protrusion 724 moves away from the back plate 20 relative to the second inverted wall 52. The fourth protrusion 724 provides a force to the second inverted wall 52 in the direction of the back plate 20, and the second inverted wall 52 provides a force to the fourth protrusion 724 in the direction of the top wall 12, thereby making the back plate 20 and the frame 10 tightly fastened together. Further, it is also preferable that the second slot 722 is a V-shaped slot, and the second slot 722 and the third protrusion 723 are preferably thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers.
[0046] In this design, the first sealing connector assembly 71 forms a sealed cavity 321 on the side of the second blind groove 32 closest to the partition wall 21, where the coolant is located. The second sealing connector assembly 72 also forms a sealed chamber on the side of the first blind groove 31 closest to the partition wall 21. The sealed chamber and the sealed cavity 321 are adjacent. The advantage of this design is that even if there is partial leakage of coolant within the sealed cavity 321, the coolant will flow into the sealed chamber and be sealed, preventing coolant leakage to other areas. This multi-layered sealing effectively prevents coolant leakage to other areas.
[0047] Further, in this embodiment, the heat-absorbing device 40 includes a thermally conductive metal layer 42 and a graphene layer 41 covering the thermally conductive metal layer 42. Several heat-absorbing devices 40 are spliced and embedded in the back plate 20. Among two adjacent heat-absorbing devices 40, the thermally conductive metal layer 42 of one heat-absorbing device 40 is disposed near the sealing cavity 321, and the graphene layer 41 of the other heat-absorbing device 40 is disposed near the sealing cavity 321. Specifically, several heat-absorbing devices 40 are alternately embedded in the back plate 20 on both sides. Among two adjacent heat-absorbing devices 40, one thermally conductive metal layer 42 is disposed near the sealing cavity 321, and the other graphene layer 41 is disposed near the sealing cavity 321. It can be understood that graphene has a multi-layered structure and possesses the characteristics of high horizontal thermal conductivity and low vertical thermal conductivity, while the thermally conductive metal possesses the characteristics of low horizontal thermal conductivity and high vertical thermal conductivity. The above design allows the graphene layer 41 to absorb heat and then transfer it laterally, while the thermally conductive metal layer 42 absorbs heat and then transfers it longitudinally. This design enables the coolant in the sealed cavity 321 to absorb heat and then quickly transfer the heat out.
[0048] In this embodiment, the backlight module 100 also includes a thermally conductive metal tape 60. The thermally conductive metal tape 60 covers the area of the frame sidewall 11 and the back plate 20 where the heat-absorbing device 40 is embedded. Specifically, the thermally conductive metal tape 60 allows the heat absorbed by the heat-absorbing device 40 to dissipate quickly, preventing heat accumulation.
[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the backlight module 100 also includes a support device 83, which is disposed on the top wall 12. The support device 83 includes a threaded spring sleeve disposed on the top wall 12, with a threaded hole formed therein. A spring is located in the threaded hole and can be screwed to adjust the length of the spring extending out of the threaded hole. Specifically, the support device 83 supports the rubber frame 10 and the internal plate, preventing deformation of the rubber frame 10 and preventing poor sealing caused by deformation of the rubber frame 10, which could lead to leakage of coolant. The spring can be screwed into or out of the threaded spring sleeve. After the backlight module 100 is installed, one end of the spring supports the internal plate, providing support. Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple support devices 83 are provided. A support device 83 is provided in the area of the top wall 12 corresponding to the first blind groove 31. One end of the support device 83 in this area is located on the top wall 12, and the other end contacts the back plate 20. A support device 83 is provided in the area of the top wall 12 corresponding to the second blind slot 32. One end of the support device 83 is located on the top wall 12, and the other end contacts the light guide plate 81. Further, in some embodiments, the spring of the support device 82 is covered with a water-resistant silicone 84. The water-resistant silicone 84 has both deformation and waterproof capabilities. When the spring is screwed into or out of the threaded spring sleeve, and the two ends of the support device 83 support the rubber frame 10 and the plate, the water-resistant silicone 84 will also deform accordingly. The water-resistant silicone 84 is used to protect the support device 82, preventing coolant from contacting the spring and entering the spring sleeve, which could cause the spring to rust and be damaged.
[0050] Understandably, the sealing cavity 321 is formed by the first sealing connector assembly 71 and the light guide plate 81 surrounding part of the groove wall of the second blind groove 32. If there is a gap between the light guide plate 81 and the groove wall of the second blind groove 32, it can easily cause leakage of coolant in the sealing cavity 321. To enhance the sealing effect of the sealing cavity 321, in some embodiments, the space between the side of the light guide plate 81 and the groove wall of the second blind groove 32 is filled with water-resistant silicone 84. The water-resistant silicone 84 can ensure the complete sealing of the sealing cavity 321 and prevent coolant leakage.
[0051] The light guide plate 81 is attached to the back plate 20 with adhesive, so that there is no gap between the light guide plate 81 and the back plate 20, thus preventing the leakage of coolant in the sealed cavity 321.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light guide plate 81 is a rigid material light guide plate 81. The light guide plate 81 also needs to have high light transmittance so as not to affect the propagation of light. Preferably, it is a glass light guide plate 81. The glass light guide plate 81 has a small coefficient of thermal expansion and is not easily deformed. After assembly, the gap is smaller and it can be perfectly attached to the back plate 20 to avoid gaps that could cause coolant leakage.
[0053] Unlike existing technologies, this application proposes a backlight module 100 that forms a sealed cavity 321 enclosing a light-emitting device 82. Coolant is injected into the sealed cavity 321, allowing it to directly contact the light-emitting device 82. This direct contact absorbs the heat generated by the light-emitting device 82 and disperses it through diffusion, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency and extending the lifespan of the backlight module 100. Furthermore, this application also includes a heat-absorbing device 40, located to the side of the sealed cavity 321, which quickly dissipates heat from within the cavity. These features further enhance heat dissipation efficiency and effectively extend the lifespan of the backlight module 100.
[0054] Correspondingly, this application also proposes a display device, which includes a display panel and a backlight module 100 disposed opposite to each other. The backlight module 100 is the backlight module 100 described in the above embodiments.
[0055] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
