Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of display technology, and more specifically to a protection component, system, and display module. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic terminal devices are widely used, and typically the outermost part of the front of the device is a chemically tempered glass cover, with the display screen located underneath. With the rapid development of display devices, users are demanding increasingly higher screen-to-body ratios.

[0003] The display panel of the display module is connected to the bonding circuit. Typically, the bonding circuit is bent to the back of the display panel, forming a bending area. Alternatively, to achieve a higher screen-to-body ratio, for flexible display panels, a portion of the non-display area is bent to the back of the panel, reducing the width of the non-display area and achieving an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio. However, during storage or transportation, the bending area of ​​the display module is prone to breakage, causing internal circuit breakage and resulting in display defects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a protection component, system, and display module. The protection component is low in cost and simple in processing. It can protect the bent part of the screen and prevent or improve the damage to the internal circuit of the screen caused by external impact, thereby avoiding poor screen display.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the first technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a protective component, which includes a body and a support member. The body includes a cover portion and a retaining wall portion disposed on one side of the cover portion along a first direction; the support member is disposed on one side of the cover portion along the thickness direction of the cover portion, wherein the retaining wall portion can be bent relative to the cover portion, and when the retaining wall portion is in a bent state, the retaining wall portion and the cover portion enclose and form a protective space.

[0006] This application also includes a second technical solution, providing a protective component, including: a body, the body including a cover portion and a retaining wall portion disposed on one side of the cover portion along a first direction; a support member disposed on one side of the cover portion along the thickness direction of the cover portion; wherein, the retaining wall portion is a segmented structure, the retaining wall portion including at least two sub-retaining walls, the at least two sub-retaining walls being spaced apart in a second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction.

[0007] This application also includes a third technical solution, providing a protection component system, including the above-mentioned protection components and a carrier, wherein the number of protection components is multiple; the carrier is used to carry multiple protection components.

[0008] This application also includes a fourth technical solution, providing a display module that includes the aforementioned protection components.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike the prior art, the protective component provided in this application bends the retaining wall relative to the cover portion, so that when the retaining wall portion is bent, it encloses the cover portion to form a protective space, thereby protecting the bending area of ​​the display module.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The terms "first" and "second" used in this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the protective component provided in this application. This application provides a protective component 10, which includes a body 11 and a support member 12. The body 11 includes a cover portion 111 and a retaining wall portion 112 disposed on one side of the cover portion 111 along a first direction D1. The retaining wall portion 112 can be bent relative to the cover portion 111 so that the bent retaining wall portion 112 and the cover portion 111 enclose a protective space.

[0022] In the first embodiment of this application, the protective space can be used to accommodate and protect the display module 200. The support member 12 is disposed on one side of the cover portion 111 along the thickness direction of the cover portion 111 during use, and is used to support the protective assembly 10.

[0023] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a display module embodiment provided in this application. In this embodiment, the display module 200 includes a display screen assembly 20, which includes a display portion 21, a bent portion 23, and a non-display portion 22 arranged sequentially. The non-display portion 22 is located on the backlight side of the display portion 21, and the bent portion 23 is located between the display portion 21 and the non-display portion 22. The orthographic projection of the non-display portion 22 onto the display portion 21 falls within the orthographic projection of the body 11 onto the display portion 21. The protective component 10 is mainly used to protect the bent area of ​​the display module. The bent area of ​​the display module includes the non-display portion 22 and the bent portion 23.

[0024] Specifically, the support member 12 is connected and fixed to the non-display portion 22 via a first adhesive layer, and the protective component 10 is connected and fixed to the non-display portion 22 via the support member 12, so that the cover portion 111 of the protective component 10 completely covers the non-display portion 22 to protect it. Simultaneously, the retaining wall portion 112 of the protective component 10 is connected to the cover portion 111 and can be bent relative to the cover portion 111, so that the cover portion 111 and the bent retaining wall portion 112 enclose a protective space. This protective space can accommodate the non-display portion 22 and the bent portion 23, thereby protecting the bent area of ​​the display module. The retaining wall portion 112 can also be straightened relative to the cover portion 111 to reduce the space occupied by the protective component 10, facilitating storage and transportation. The protective component 10 of this embodiment can prevent or improve the display quality caused by the breakage of internal circuitry in the non-display portion 22 due to external impact. The support member 12 is used to support the main body 11 and improve or prevent the display assembly 20 from being squeezed by external force during transportation, so that the main body 11 touches the non-display part 22.

[0025] In one embodiment of this application, the bending area also includes protective structures such as a support film and an adhesive layer, which can improve or prevent damage to the non-display part 22 when the support member 12 is removed from the non-display part 22, so that the support member 12 can be directly set on the non-display part 22, thereby simplifying the structure and making installation convenient.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the protection component provided in this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the protective component provided in this application. Specifically, in one embodiment of this application, the second direction intersects with the first direction. The retaining wall portion 112 can be a segmented structure. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the retaining wall portion 112 includes three sub-retaining walls, 1121, 1122, and 1123, which are arranged at intervals in the second direction, allowing for greater deformation space. In one embodiment, the retaining wall portion 112 is a one-piece structure. Figure 2 As shown, the retaining wall portion 112 is a long strip structure. In another embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the retaining wall portion 112 may also include two sub-retaining walls, with the two sub-retaining walls 1121 and 1122 disposed on one side of the cover portion 111 and disposed at both ends of the cover portion 111 along the second direction, and both being elongated structures. In another embodiment, they may also be configured as quadrilaterals with one side being an arc. In other embodiments, the retaining wall portion 112 may also include four or more sub-retaining walls, with their shapes configured as other polygonal or irregular shapes for protecting the bent portion 23.

[0027] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 4-6 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the protection component provided in this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the protection component provided in this application. In one embodiment of this application, the number of support members 12 can be at least one. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support members 12 are located on opposite sides of the non-display portion 22 along the second direction D2 during use.

[0028] Specifically, in one embodiment, two support members 12 may be provided, located on opposite sides of the non-display portion 22, to support and balance the main body 11. In another embodiment, one support member 12 may be provided. In other embodiments, three or more support members 12 may be provided, and further, at least two support members 12 may be located on opposite sides of the non-display portion 22 along the second direction D2 to support the main body 11.

[0029] In one embodiment of this application, the support member 12 includes a first connector (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the side of the support member 12 opposite to the main body. The first connector is used to fix the support member 12 to the object to be protected. In one embodiment, the first connector may include a first adhesive layer 121, and the material of the adhesive layer may include foam. In another embodiment, the first connector may also include other structures for connection and fixation.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the protective component 10 further includes an isolation layer (not shown in the figure). The isolation layer is disposed on the side of the first adhesive layer 121 away from the support member 12, and is used to protect the foam, enhance its adhesive properties, and improve its service life.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, the protective component 10 further includes a second connector (not shown in the figure). The second connector is disposed between the support member 12 and the cover portion 111, and is used to fix the support member 12 and the cover portion 111. Specifically, the second connector includes a second adhesive layer, which is disposed on the side of the support member 12 near the body 11. That is, the support member 12 has a first adhesive layer on the side away from the body 11 and a second adhesive layer on the side near the body 11, so that the support member 12 can support the body 11 while also connecting the body 11 and the display assembly 20. This allows the protective component 10 to protect the display assembly 20, preventing or mitigating the damage caused by external impacts to the display assembly 20, which could result in internal circuit breakage and subsequent display defects. In this embodiment, the support member 12 and the cover portion 111 are separate structures, fixed by the second adhesive layer. In this embodiment, the support member 12 and the cover portion 111 can be separate structures to reduce the manufacturing difficulty and production cost of the protective component 10.

[0032] In another embodiment of this application, the support member 12 and the cover portion 111 can also be an integral structure, which improves the stability of the connection between the support member 12 and the cover portion 111, thereby enhancing the protection effect of the protection component 10 on the bending area of ​​the display module and strengthening the stability of the protection component 10.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the body 11 further includes a handle 113, which is disposed on one side of the cover 111 along a second direction D2, the second direction D2 intersecting with the first direction D1. By providing the handle 113, it is convenient to remove the protective component 10.

[0034] Specifically, in one embodiment, the width of the handle portion 113 along the first direction D1 is smaller than the width of the cover portion 111 along the first direction D1, which facilitates the user in taking the protective component 10 and improves the safety of removing the protective component 10. The user applies external force to the protective component 10 by grasping the handle portion 113, causing the protective component 10 to detach from the non-display portion 22, thus improving or avoiding possible squeezing or collision of the non-display portion 22 when removing the protective component 10. In another embodiment, the handle portion is formed by extending from the second end of the cover portion in the second direction. Along the first direction D1, the width of the handle portion 113 may also be equal to the width of the cover portion 111. In other embodiments, along the first direction D1, the width of the handle portion 113 may also be greater than the width of the cover portion 111.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the body 11 is made of a flexible material that can be bent and deformed, thereby facilitating the bending of the retaining wall portion 112 relative to the cover portion 111.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the cover portion 111 and the retaining wall portion 112 can be integrally formed. Specifically, the body 11 includes a film material, which includes at least one of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate, saturated polyester) or PC (Polycarbonate). In this embodiment, the body 11 can be die-cut from PET or PC film material. In other embodiments, the retaining wall portion 112 can also be attached to the cover portion 111, and the body 11 can also include a metal material; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, along the second direction D2, the length of the cover portion 111 is between 62mm and 63mm; along the first direction D1, the width of the body 11 is between 13mm and 14mm; and the width of the retaining wall portion 112 is greater than or equal to 3mm.

[0038] Specifically, the width of the cover portion 111 along the first direction D1 can be 10mm, 10.3mm, or 10.5mm, etc., and the length along the second direction D2 can be 62.25mm, 62.34mm, or 62.65mm, etc. The retaining wall portion 112 includes a first sub-retaining wall 1121, a second sub-retaining wall 1122, and a third sub-retaining wall 1123. The widths of the first sub-retaining wall 1121, the second sub-retaining wall 1122, and the third sub-retaining wall 1123 along the first direction D1 are the same, and can all be 3mm, 3.1mm, or 3.3mm, etc.

[0039] In other embodiments of this application, the width of the cover portion 111 along the first direction D1 can be between 10mm and 11mm. The width of the retaining wall portion 112 along the first direction D1 can be less than 3mm, as long as the width of the body 11 is between 13mm and 14mm.

[0040] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment of this application, the height H of the support member 12 is greater than or equal to the maximum height h of the non-display portion 22 in the plane direction perpendicular to the display assembly 20.

[0041] Specifically, in one embodiment, the height of the support member 12 can be set to 0.5mm, which is greater than the maximum height of the non-display portion 22 in the plane perpendicular to the display assembly 20. This allows the support member 12 to fully support the cover portion 111 of the main body 11, improving or preventing the cover portion 111 from touching the display assembly 20 due to external pressure and causing damage to the screen. In another embodiment, the height of the support member 12 can also be set to be equal to the maximum height of the non-display portion 22 in the plane perpendicular to the display assembly 20, which also serves to support the main body 11 and provide protection.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the support member 12 includes an elastic support member. The elastic support member can provide a cushioning support effect to protect the non-display portion 22 of the screen.

[0043] Specifically, in one embodiment, the elastic support member includes foam. Foam is low in cost and has a high surface flatness, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the protective component and the display component 20. At the same time, the foam can achieve a cushioning effect to protect the display component 20. In another embodiment, the support member 12 may also include an elastic support member 12 made of other elastic materials.

[0044] Specifically, in one embodiment, the support member 12 can be configured as two or more, with each isolation layer corresponding to each first adhesive layer and support member 12, used to protect the adhesiveness of the first adhesive layer. In use, the isolation layer is detached from the first adhesive layer, and then the first adhesive layer can be adhered to the non-display portion 22, thereby connecting the display assembly 20 and the support member 12, so that the protective assembly 10 can protect the non-display portion 22. In another embodiment, the support member 12 can also be configured as one, and the isolation layer can be configured as a film covering the first adhesive layer, which can be detached in use to protect the adhesiveness of the first adhesive layer.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, a bending reference is provided on the main body 11, and the retaining wall portion 112 can be bent relative to the cover portion 111 along the bending reference. Specifically, a bending line 13 is provided between the cover portion 111 and the retaining wall portion 112 to assist the retaining wall portion 112 in bending relative to the cover portion 111, thereby increasing the bending range.

[0046] Specifically, in one embodiment of this application, a bending line 13 is provided between the cover portion 111 and the retaining wall portion 112 to assist in bending the retaining wall portion 112. This increases the bendable range of the retaining wall portion 112, thereby enhancing its stability and protective effect, and improving or preventing the retaining wall portion 112 from breaking off from the cover portion 111 due to external pressure or collision after bending. Furthermore, the bending strength of the bending reference is less than the bending strength of the body 11, which increases the number of bends the retaining wall portion 112 can withstand. In this embodiment, the bending line 13 is required to withstand more than 10 bends. Specifically, the retaining wall portion 112 can be bent 11, 12, 15, etc., which improves the stability of the retaining wall portion 112 in protecting the side of the non-display portion 22 and enhances the compressive strength of the body 11. Furthermore, the thickness of the bending reference is less than the thickness of the body 11, which improves the stability of the protective space formed by the cover portion 111 and the bent retaining wall portion 112.

[0047] In another aspect, this application provides a protective component 10, which includes a body 11 and a support member 12. The body 11 includes a cover portion 111 and a retaining wall portion 112 disposed on one side of the cover portion 111 along a first direction D1. The support member 12 is disposed on one side of the cover portion 111 along the thickness direction of the cover portion 111. The retaining wall portion 112 has a segmented structure and includes at least two sub-retaining walls, which are spaced apart along a second direction D2. The protective component 10 of this application embodiment can protect the bending area of ​​the display module 200, avoiding or mitigating the damage to the internal circuitry of the screen caused by external impact to the bent portion 23, thereby preventing display defects.

[0048] In another embodiment of this application, the retaining wall portion 112 can be bent relative to the cover portion 111. When the retaining wall portion 112 is bent, the retaining wall portion 112 and the cover portion 111 enclose a protective space. The protective space accommodates the bent portion 23 and the non-display portion 22 of the display module 200, thereby protecting the bent area of ​​the display module 200.

[0049] In another embodiment of this application, the body 11 is made of a flexible material, specifically including a bendable material to bend the retaining wall portion 112. The cover portion 111 and the retaining wall portion 112 are integrally formed, which simplifies the structure, saves costs, and also improves toughness, thereby enhancing the compressive strength of the retaining wall portion 112 and the cover portion 111.

[0050] In another embodiment of this application, the body 11 includes a thin film material, which can be manufactured by a circular die-cutting process, reducing the number of process steps. Further, the thin film material may include PET, PC, or both PET and PC. In another embodiment, the thin film material may also include other materials with similar properties.

[0051] In another embodiment of this application, the retaining wall portion 112 includes three sub-retaining walls. The three sub-retaining walls 1121, 1122, and 1123 are disposed at both ends of the cover portion 111 in the second direction D2 to reduce stress concentration and improve compressive and impact resistance.

[0052] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the protection component system provided in this application. In another embodiment of this application, a protection component system 100 includes the above-described protection component 10 and a support portion 31. The number of protection components 10 is multiple, and the support portion 31 is used to support multiple protection components 10.

[0053] Specifically, the carrier 31 carries multiple protective components 10, which can be arranged in an array on the carrier 31. The protective components 10 can be taken out one by one from the carrier 31 by a robotic arm, thereby saving packaging and transportation costs and realizing automated mass production.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the support portion 31 can be a roll material, and a plurality of protective components 10 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the support portion 31.

[0055] Specifically, in one embodiment, the carrier 31 can be configured as a winding device made of transparent material, with the winding direction being a first direction D1. Multiple protective components 10 are arranged on the winding device, allowing it to wind up the protective components 10. This enables automated mass production, and a robotic arm can individually remove the protective components 10 from the roll for use, saving packaging and transportation costs. The winding method facilitates storage and transportation. Furthermore, after the winding device winds the protective components 10, it can continuously supply them when installing them onto the bending area of ​​the display module, eliminating the need for intermittent replacements and improving production efficiency. The protective components 10 are manufactured using a circular die-cutting process, which is simple and low-cost. In another embodiment, other methods can also be used to store the protective components 10 for production and use.

[0056] Specifically, the length direction of the support portion 31 is the length direction after the support portion 31 is unfolded. The multiple protective components 10 arranged sequentially at intervals can improve or prevent damage caused by collisions between adjacent protective components 10, and also facilitate the robotic arm to remove the protective components 10 one by one from the support portion 31. Specifically, in one embodiment, the protective components 10 can be arranged in a rectangular array, that is, evenly arranged in rows and columns to form a regular rectangular grid. A certain spacing can be set between adjacent protective components 10, which can optimize space utilization, facilitate the calculation of the precise position of each protective component 10, facilitate robotic arm grasping, and also facilitate the constraint of the protective components 10, improving or preventing slippage. In another embodiment, the spacing between adjacent protective components 10 can be set to 5.5mm to 6.5mm, for example, 5.7mm, 5.8mm, 5.9mm, 6.0mm, 6.1mm, 6.2mm, 6.3mm, etc.

[0057] Specifically, in one embodiment, the protective components 10 can be arranged in a triangular array, that is, arranged at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, with three protective components 10 forming a triangle.

In another embodiment, the protective components 10 can also be arranged in a fan-shaped array, that is, arranged in a fan shape, radially around a central point. In another embodiment, the protective components 10 can also be arranged in a pipeline array, that is, arranged in a single row or multiple rows in a straight line. In other embodiments, the protective components 10 can also be arranged on the support portion 31 in other ways.

[0058] In one embodiment of this application, the protective component 10 includes a cover portion 111 and a handle portion 113. The cover portion 111 is located on the support portion 31, and at least a portion of the handle portion 113 has its orthographic projection on the support portion 31 located outside the support portion 31.

[0059] Specifically, the cover portion 111 is located on the support portion 31 and serves to protect the cover portion 111. At least a portion of the handle portion 113 is exposed on the support portion to facilitate the user to grasp the protective component 10 and detach it from the support portion 31. During the production process, a robotic arm can be used to remove the protective components 10 one by one from the support portion 31, improving production efficiency and enabling automated mass production.

[0060] In another embodiment of this application, the protective component system 100 further includes an integral adhesive tape for bonding the carrier portion 31 and the protective component 10, thereby improving the overall integrity of the protective component system 100. The roll direction of the adhesive tape is consistent with the bonding direction of the roll material, which can increase the adhesive force between the protective component 10 and the carrier portion 31, improving the bonding effect.

[0061] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the protection component system provided in this application. In one embodiment of this application, along the length direction of the support portion 31, the support portion 31 includes a first partition 311 and a second partition 312. The orthographic projection of the protection component 10 on the support portion 31 does not overlap with either the first partition 311 or the second partition 312. A reinforcing member (not shown in the figure) is provided on the second partition 312, and the reinforcing member is used to support and fix the support portion 31. Preferably, the length of the first partition 311 in the first direction D1 is greater than or equal to 2000 mm, and the length of the second partition 312 in the first direction D1 is greater than or equal to 500 mm.

[0062] Specifically, the first partition 311 is located on the side of the support portion 31 away from the spool end of the roll material. A reinforcing member is disposed on the first partition 311 to fix the support portion 31. The reinforcing member may include a circular or elliptical metal sheet, which can support and fix the support portion 31. The second partition 312 is disposed on the support portion near the spool end of the roll material. The second partition 312 is used to protect the surface of the support portion 31 and improve or prevent damage or contamination to the surface of the support portion 31.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, the width of the first partition 311 along the length direction of the support portion 31 is greater than or equal to 2000 mm, for example, 2100 mm, 2200 mm, etc. The length of the second partition 312 in the first direction D1 is greater than or equal to 500 mm, for example, 600 mm, 700 mm, etc., so that the support portion 31 is tightly wound, improving stability. In another specific embodiment, the size of the first partition 311 and the second partition 312 can also be adjusted according to the needs of the actual application to meet the process requirements.

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, the length of the portion of the handle 113 outside the bearing portion 31 is between 13.5mm and 14.5mm, such as 13.5mm, 13.7mm, 13.9mm, 14.1mm, 14.3mm, 14.5mm, etc., leaving sufficient length for the robotic arm to grasp and realize automated production.

[0065] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 6 In another embodiment of this application, a display module 200 is provided, including the protection component 10 and the display component 20 described above.

[0066] Specifically, since the display module 200 includes the protection component 10 described in the above embodiments, it also has the beneficial effects of the protection component 10, which will not be repeated here.

[0067] The display assembly 20 includes a display section 21, a bent section 23, and a non-display section 22 arranged sequentially. The non-display section 22 is located on the backlight side of the display section 21. The orthographic projection of the bent section 23 on the display section 21 falls within the orthographic projection of the body 11 on the display section. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the non-display section 22 on the display section 21 falls within the orthographic projection of the body 11 on the display section 21.

[0068] When the retaining wall 112 is in a bent state, the orthographic projection of the retaining wall 112 on the bent part 23 covers the bent part 23. The main body 11 is connected and fixed to the non-display part 22 through the support member 12, which can completely cover the exposed non-display part 22 and the bent part 23, thereby avoiding or improving the situation where the internal circuit of the screen is broken due to the impact of external force on the non-display part 22, resulting in poor screen display.

[0069] In another embodiment of this application, the retaining wall portion 112 is bent relative to the cover portion 111 and extends to the side of the non-display portion 22, so that when the retaining wall portion 112 is in a bent state, the orthogonal projection of the retaining wall portion 112 on the display screen assembly 20 covers the display screen assembly 20, and the cover portion 111, the support member 12 and the bent retaining wall portion 112 form a protective space that can accommodate and protect the non-display portion 22 and the bent portion 23.

[0070] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of an embodiment of the protection component assembly method provided in this application. In one embodiment of this application, the installation steps of the protection component 10 are as follows:

[0071] S410, place the light-emitting side of the display module on the alignment fixture.

[0072] In this embodiment, the light-emitting side is placed downwards on the alignment fixture, so that the non-display part 22 faces upwards and is exposed to the outside. The installation of the protective component 10 can protect the display screen assembly 20 and prevent or improve the damage to the internal circuit of the display screen assembly 20 caused by external impact during storage or transportation.

[0073] S420 removes the isolation layer of the protective component, connects the support of the protective component to the back of the display screen, and makes the cover of the protective component cover the bent part of the display module.

[0074] In this embodiment, an isolation layer is provided on the side of the first adhesive layer facing away from the support member 12 to protect the adhesiveness of the first adhesive layer. When assembling the display module 200, a robotic arm grasps the handle portion 113 of the protective component 10, and then removes the isolation layer of the protective component 10, allowing the support member 12 to be bonded to the non-display portion 22 on the back of the display portion 21 via the first adhesive layer. This ensures that the cover portion 111 of the protective component 10 completely covers the non-display portion 22, thus protecting the non-display portion 22. Simultaneously, the support member 12 can also support the body 11, buffering external forces on the body 11 and improving or preventing contact or compression between the body 11 and the non-display portion 22.

[0075] S430, the retaining wall of the protective component is bent so that the retaining wall covers the side of the bent part of the display module.

[0076] In this embodiment, the support member 12 of the protective component 10 is connected to the non-display part 22. After the cover part 111 of the protective component 10 completely covers the non-display part 22, the retaining wall part 112 of the protective component 10 is bent relative to the cover part 111 along the bending line 13 to protect the side of the display component 20. In this embodiment, the retaining wall part 112 can be bent more than ten times along the bending line 13, which can improve or avoid damage to the side of the non-display part 22 caused by irregular bending of the retaining wall part 112, and at the same time improve the stability of the retaining wall part 112 in protecting the side of the non-display part 22.

[0077] S440, press the body of the protective component away from the support member to improve the bonding stability of the first adhesive layer to the back of the display.

[0078] In this embodiment, pressing the protective component 10 ensures full contact between the first adhesive layer and the non-display portion 22, thereby achieving a smooth bond between the first adhesive layer and the non-display portion 22 on the back of the display portion 21 and improving the stability of the protective component 10. The display module 200 with the protective component 10 assembled is then packaged and transported. The protective component 10 protects the display assembly 20, preventing or mitigating the risk of internal circuit breakage due to external impacts during storage or transportation, which could lead to display defects.

[0079] This application only provides one installation method for the protective component 10. In other embodiments, bending the retaining wall portion 112 of the protective component in step S430 may occur before step S410 or S420.

[0080] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does 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.
