[0011] In which, the middle frame includes multiple frame edges, and the multiple frame edges are connected end to end in sequence to make the middle frame a closed loop, or the multiple frame edges are connected in sequence to make the middle frame an open loop. The multiple frame edges are all arranged on the back panel, and the frame edges include a plastic support layer and a flexible support layer. The plastic support layer is fixed on the back panel, and the flexible support layer is arranged on the side of the plastic support layer facing the extrusion section. The flexible support layer and the extrusion section are arranged opposite to each other, and the elastic modulus of the plastic support layer is greater than the elastic modulus of the flexible support layer. The flexible support layer and the extrusion section have an extrusion tendency on both sides of the liquid crystal box in the thickness direction of the display module.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the plastic support layer has a length direction, and at least two mounting grooves are formed on the side of the plastic support layer facing the liquid crystal box, and the two mounting grooves are arranged relatively spaced apart along the length direction. The flexible support layer is arranged in the mounting groove and connected to the plastic support layer. The plastic support layer is provided with a first surface on the side facing the liquid crystal box, and the first surface is located between the two mounting grooves arranged at intervals. The flexible support layer is provided with a second surface on the side facing the liquid crystal box, and the first surface is connected to and flush with the second surface.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the plastic support layer has a length direction, and along the length direction, the thickness of the plastic support layer in the thickness direction gradually increases from both sides of the plastic support layer toward the middle of the plastic support layer; in the length direction, along one side of the plastic support layer toward the middle, the thickness of the flexible support layer in the thickness direction gradually decreases.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the length of the first surface is L, the length of the second surface is C, and C is ≤ 1 / 2L.

The flexible support layer has elastic properties and contacts the liquid crystal cell. The flexible support layer and the fixed frame together squeeze and fix the edge of the liquid crystal cell. When the back plate warps and is transmitted to the liquid crystal cell through the middle frame, the flexible support layer is deformed by the stress transmitted by the back plate, so that the flexible support layer remains flat, the edge of the liquid crystal cell does not tilt, and the liquid crystal inside the liquid crystal cell does not deflect, thereby improving the problem of light leakage in the liquid crystal cell caused by the warping of the back plate. Specifically, the flexible support layer and the squeezing section are arranged relative to each other to define a fixed space for fixing the liquid crystal cell, clamping the edge of the liquid crystal cell. The flexible support layer is made of an elastic material. When the back plate warps and transmits stress to the flexible support layer, the flexible support layer can deform under the stress of the warping back plate and the reaction force of the liquid crystal cell, thereby maintaining flatness, thereby preventing the liquid crystal inside the liquid crystal cell from deflecting and achieving the purpose of preventing light leakage of the liquid crystal cell. In addition, in addition to using a flexible support layer with elastic properties, a plastic support layer with plastic properties needs to be set under the flexible support layer to strengthen the strength of the middle frame, so that the middle frame has sufficient supporting strength, and the distance between the middle frame and the extrusion section can be more accurately controlled and set, which is convenient for fixing the liquid crystal box.

Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles disclosed herein.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 , an embodiment of the present application provides a display module, comprising:

[0035] Liquid crystal cell 3;

[0036] A backlight module 5 is stacked with the liquid crystal cell 3;

[0037] The back panel 1 has an opening and a receiving portion. The liquid crystal box 3 and the backlight module 5 are located in the receiving portion. The liquid crystal box 3 is arranged close to the opening relative to the backlight module 5.

[0038] a fixing frame 4 , the fixing frame 4 covering the outer surface of the back plate 1 , and the edge of the fixing frame 4 extending toward the center of the opening of the accommodating portion to form an extrusion section 41 ;

[0039] The middle frame 2 is disposed in the accommodating portion. The middle frame 2 is disposed opposite to the extrusion section 41 . The edge of the liquid crystal cell 3 is fixed by being clamped between the extrusion section 41 and the middle frame 2 .

[0040] In which, the middle frame 2 includes multiple frame edges 21, and the multiple frame edges 21 are connected end to end in sequence to make the middle frame 2 a closed loop, or the multiple frame edges 21 are connected in sequence to make the middle frame 2 an open loop. The multiple frame edges 21 are all arranged on the back plate 1, and the frame edges 21 include a plastic support layer 211 and a flexible support layer 212. The plastic support layer 211 is fixed on the back plate 1, and the flexible support layer 212 is arranged on the side of the plastic support layer 211 facing the extrusion section 41. The flexible support layer 212 is arranged opposite to the extrusion section 41. The elastic modulus of the plastic support layer 211 is greater than the elastic modulus of the flexible support layer 212. The flexible support layer 212 and the extrusion section 41 have an extrusion tendency on both sides of the liquid crystal box 3 in the thickness direction of the display module.

[0041] It should be noted that the back plate 1 is shaped like a box with an unsealed top, while the fixed frame 4 surrounds the outer side of the back plate 1, also in the shape of an unsealed box. Furthermore, the fixed frame 4 has an extrusion section 41 extending from one unsealed side. The projection of this extrusion section 41 toward the liquid crystal cell 3 covers the edge of the liquid crystal cell 3, so that the extrusion section 41 and the middle frame 2, when positioned opposite each other, can clamp and secure the liquid crystal cell 3.

[0042] The liquid crystal cell provided in this application improves the material and structure of the middle frame 2, giving it a certain degree of deformation capability. When the back plate 1 warps, the characteristics of the middle frame 2 ensure that the corners of the liquid crystal cell 3 remain flat and prevent tilting, thereby effectively preventing the shifting of the liquid crystal within the liquid crystal cell 3. The structure of the middle frame 2 will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0043] Furthermore, the backlight module 5 includes a reflective sheet 51, a light guide plate 52, and an optical film layer 53. The reflective sheet 51 is disposed on the back panel 1, the light guide plate 52 is disposed on the side of the reflective sheet 51 facing away from the back panel 1, and the optical film layer 53 is disposed on the side of the light guide plate 52 facing away from the back panel 1. Furthermore, a light shielding layer 54 is disposed on the optical film layer 53. The light shielding layer 54 is located at the edge of the optical film layer 53 and extends to the side of the middle frame 2 facing the liquid crystal cell 3. A first polarizer 6 and a second polarizer 7 are also disposed on the upper and lower sides of the liquid crystal cell 3, respectively.

[0044] To better understand how the display module effectively prevents light leakage caused by the warping of the back panel 1, the following is a detailed introduction to the main structure of the middle frame 2 that achieves this effect:

[0045] The technical means provided in this application are mainly that the middle frame 2 is composed of a plastic support layer 211 and a flexible support layer 212, and the flexible support layer 212 has elastic properties and is in contact with the liquid crystal box 3, and the flexible support layer 212 and the fixed frame 4 jointly squeeze and fix the edge of the liquid crystal box 3. When the back plate 1 is warped and transmitted to the liquid crystal box 3 through the middle frame 2, the flexible support layer 212 is deformed by the stress transmitted by the back plate 1, so that the flexible support layer 212 remains flat, the edge of the liquid crystal box 3 will not be tilted, and the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal box 3 will not be deflected, thereby improving the problem of light leakage in the liquid crystal box 3 due to the warping of the back plate 1. Specifically, the flexible support layer 212 and the extrusion section 41 are positioned relative to each other to define a fixed space for securing the liquid crystal cell 3. The edges of the liquid crystal cell 3 are then clamped. The flexible support layer 212 is then made of an elastic material. When the back panel 1 warps and transfers stress to the flexible support layer 212, the flexible support layer 212 deforms under the stress of the warping of the back panel 1 and the reaction force of the liquid crystal cell 3, thereby maintaining its flatness. This prevents deflection of the liquid crystal within the liquid crystal cell 3 and achieves the purpose of preventing light leakage from the liquid crystal cell. Furthermore, in addition to the elastic flexible support layer 212, a plastic support layer 211 with plastic properties is also provided beneath the flexible support layer 212 to strengthen the middle frame 2, ensuring sufficient support strength. This also allows for more accurate control of the distance between the middle frame 2 and the extrusion section 41, facilitating securement of the liquid crystal cell 3.

[0046] See Figure 1 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the middle frame 2 includes three frame edges 21, which are connected in sequence along the circumference of the display module and form an open loop. Each frame edge 21 has a plastic support layer 211 and a flexible support layer 212. In another embodiment, the middle frame 2 may also include four frame edges 21, which are connected in sequence and form a closed loop. Similarly, each frame edge 21 has a plastic support layer 211 and a flexible support layer 212. Of course, in other embodiments, the middle frame 2 may also have five frame edges 21, six frame edges 21, etc. The specific number is not limited and can be selected according to the actual requirements of the display module. In addition, whether the middle frame 2 is a closed loop or an open loop can also be selected according to actual conditions and is not limited.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 4 The plastic support layer 211 has at least two mounting grooves 2111 formed along its length and on its side facing the liquid crystal cell 3. In this embodiment, each plastic support layer 211 has two mounting grooves 2111 spaced apart from each other along its length. A flexible support layer 212 is disposed within the mounting grooves 2111 and connected to the plastic support layer 211. The side of the plastic support layer 211 facing the liquid crystal cell 3 has a first surface 2112 located between the two spaced-apart mounting grooves 2111. The side of the flexible support layer 212 facing the liquid crystal cell 3 has a second surface 2121 connected and flush with the first surface 2112. By forming the mounting grooves 2111 on the plastic support layer 211 and disposing the flexible support layer 212 within the mounting grooves 2111, and utilizing the elastic deformation properties of the flexible support layer 212, the deformation of the flexible support layer 212 can prevent the liquid crystal cell 3 from tilting. The first surface 2112 and the second surface 2121 are initially flush, further ensuring that the surface supporting the liquid crystal cell 3 is flat, thereby preventing the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal cell 3 from shifting. It should be noted that the plastic support layer 211 and the flexible support layer 212 are not merely in contact, but are fixedly connected. Preferably, in this embodiment, the plastic support layer 211 and the flexible support layer 212 are integrally formed, which allows for better precision control compared to attaching the flexible support layer 212 to the plastic support layer 211.

[0048] It should be noted that the number and location of the mounting grooves 2111 are not limited in this embodiment. As long as the mounting grooves 2111 are arranged along the circumference of the middle frame 2, especially at the corners of the middle frame 2, that is, at both ends of each frame edge 21 of the middle frame 2, the requirements are met. Because the warping of the back panel 1 is mainly at the corners, the mounting grooves 2111 are only required to be arranged at the corners of the middle frame 2. As for the other mounting grooves 2111 arranged along the circumference of the middle frame 2, they are further preferably used to prevent warping of other parts of the back panel 1 and cause deflection of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal cell 3. The shape of the mounting grooves 2111 can be rectangular, trapezoidal, fan-shaped, or other irregular shapes, as long as the mounting grooves 2111 can be used to install the flexible supporting layer 212 and ensure that the second surface 2121 of the flexible supporting layer 212 is flush with the first surface 2112. Furthermore, more preferably, the flexible support layer 212 is disposed on both sides of the plastic support layer 211 in the longitudinal direction. When the back panel 1 warps, it generally warps from the sides toward the center, with the edges being the most severely warped. Therefore, the flexible support layer 212 is disposed on both sides of the plastic support layer 211 to effectively prevent the deflection caused by the warping of the back panel 1. Furthermore, the plastic support layer 211 in the middle portion provides support, preventing the middle frame 2 from warping along with the back panel 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The groove wall of the mounting groove 2111 is a first curved surface 21111 and the first curved surface 21111 is smoothly connected to the first surface 2112, so that there is no angle at the connection between the first curved surface 21111 and the first surface 2112, which is conducive to the connection between the flexible support layer 212 and the first surface 2112 after being placed in the mounting groove 2111; the flexible support layer 212 is provided with a second curved surface 2122 on the side facing the plastic support layer 211; the second curved surface 2122 is in shape contact and connection with the first curved surface 21111 and is adapted in shape, so that the flexible support layer 212 can be completely matched in the mounting groove 2111.

[0050] Furthermore, the first curved surface 21111 is convex toward the liquid crystal cell 3, while the second curved surface 2122 is concave toward the liquid crystal cell 3. Compared to a configuration in which the first curved surface 21111 is concave and the second curved surface 2122 is convex, the flexible supporting layer 212 is better able to withstand stress when the middle frame 2 warps due to warping of the back plate 1, effectively reducing the effect of stress on the liquid crystal cell 3. It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the installation groove 2111 is an arc-shaped groove, i.e., the groove wall is the first curved surface 21111, and the flexible supporting layer 212 has the second curved surface 2122. This also helps reduce stress on the liquid crystal cell 3 compared to a rectangular or other angled structure.

[0051] In some embodiments, the plastic support layer 211 has a lengthwise direction, and along the lengthwise direction, the thickness of the plastic support layer 211 in the thickness direction of the display module gradually increases from both sides of the plastic support layer 211 toward the middle of the plastic support layer 211; and along the lengthwise direction, the thickness of the flexible support layer 212 gradually decreases from one side toward the middle of the plastic support layer 211. By limiting the thickness variation of the plastic support layer 211 in the lengthwise direction, a mounting groove 2111 for mounting the flexible support layer 212 is defined. The thickness of the plastic support layer 211 gradually varies along the length, with a gradual change. Compared to a direct step-type thickness variation, the thickness variation is smoother. When the flexible support layer 212 located in the mounting groove 2111 is subjected to a force caused by the warping of the back panel 1, the stress generated at the connection between the plastic support layer 211 and the flexible support layer 212 is reduced, which helps the flexible support layer 212 and the plastic support layer 211 remain flat under the force.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 4 , the length of the first surface 2112 is L, and the length of the second surface 2121 is C, where C ≤ 1 / 2L. The length of the side of the middle frame 2 is the length of the two second surfaces 2121 plus the length of one first surface 2112. The two second surfaces 2121 are located on both sides of the first surface 2112, that is, the length of the side of the middle frame 2 is 2C + L. By limiting C ≤ 1 / 2L, which is equivalent to limiting the length of the second surface 2121 to be less than or equal to one-quarter of the length of the side of the middle frame 2, it is avoided that the length of the second surface 2121 is too long, far exceeding the range where the back panel 1 may warp, resulting in material waste and reduced strength. Because the length of the second surface 2121 is too long, the length of the first surface 2112 used for support will be too short, thus affecting the strength of the middle frame 2. Limiting the length of the second surface 2121 to within one-fourth of the total length of the frame edge is also beneficial in ensuring the flatness of the first surface 2112 and the second surface 2121 during the manufacturing process. This is because the longer the second surface 2121, the more difficult it is to control the flatness of the junction between the second surface 2121 and the first surface 2112. Furthermore, if the second surface 2121 is too long, when the backplane 1 warps, not only will part of the second surface 2121 be wasted in material and fail to buffer the stress of warping, but only a small portion of the second surface 2121 will deform to buffer the stress, while other parts of the second surface 2121 will experience deformation opposite to the warping, resulting in unevenness between the first surface 2112 and the second surface 2121.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The maximum thickness of the plastic support layer 211 is H, and the maximum thickness of the flexible support layer 212 is h, where h<1 / 2H. That is, in this embodiment, the maximum thickness of the flexible support layer 212 is limited to less than half the maximum thickness of the plastic support layer 211. This prevents the maximum thickness of the flexible support layer 212 from being too thick, which would cause the portion of the liquid crystal cell 3 placed on the flexible support layer 212 and the portion placed on the plastic support layer 211 to be non-planar, resulting in the liquid crystal cell 3 being tilted.

[0054] In some embodiments, the material of the flexible support layer 212 can be silicone or other soft elastic materials, without specific limitation; the material of the plastic support layer 211 is generally PC plastic to enhance the strength of the middle frame 2, especially the strength of the first surface 2112, so that the first surface 2112 and the second surface 2121 form a more obvious contrast in strength, which facilitates the deformation of the second surface 2121 to buffer the warping of the back panel 1.

[0055] The present application also provides a display device comprising a display module as described in any of the above embodiments. Because the display device comprises the display module described in the above embodiments, it also has the structure and beneficial effects of the display module.
