[0071] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will be used to specifically explain the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. Those skilled in the art can easily understand that the modes and contents can be changed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. The embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0072] The proportions of the drawings in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the width-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display module and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are also not limited to the number shown in the drawings. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.

[0073] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", and the like are provided to avoid confusion of components, and are not intended to be limited in terms of quantity.

[0074] In the present specification, for the convenience of explanation, words indicating the orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to explain the positional relationship of the components with reference to the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present specification and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed according to the direction of describing each component. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.

[0075] In the present specification, unless specifically defined and limited otherwise, the terms "mount", "connected", "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate piece, or the communication inside two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0076] In this specification, a transistor means an element including at least three terminals of a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (a drain electrode terminal, a drain region, or a drain electrode) and the source electrode (a source electrode terminal, a source region, or a source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that, in this specification, the channel region means a region where current flows mainly.

[0077] In this specification, the first terminal can be a drain electrode and the second terminal can be a source electrode, or the first terminal can be a source electrode and the second terminal can be a drain electrode. In the case of using a transistor having opposite polarity or in the case where the direction of current flow is changed in circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged with each other. Thus, in this specification, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other, and the "source terminal" and the "drain terminal" can be interchanged with each other.

[0078] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where components are connected through an element having some function of electricity. The element having some function of electricity is not particularly limited as long as electric signals can be transmitted and received between components to be connected. Examples of the element having some function of electricity include not only an electrode and a wiring but also a switching element such as a transistor, a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, and another element having some function.

[0079] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than or equal to 10°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than or equal to 5° is also included. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than or equal to 100°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than or equal to 95° is also included.

[0080] In this specification, a "film" and a "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, a "conductive layer" can be replaced with a "conductive film". Similarly, an "insulating film" can be replaced with an "insulating layer".

[0081] In this specification, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon is not strictly a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, and can be an approximately triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon. There can be some small deformation due to a tolerance, a rounded corner, a rounded side, or deformation.

[0082] In this specification, "about" means that a value is not strictly limited to a certain limit, and a value within a range of a process and measurement error is allowed.

[0083] Currently, flexible OLED displays are used in various smart cockpit entertainment displays, such as in aviation, high-speed rail, cruise ships, and automobiles. However, at present, flexible OLED displays cannot meet the safety requirements of smart cockpits, specifically meeting FFA (Fall Facing Away) tests, flame retardancy tests, heat dissipation tests, EMI (Electro-Static Discharge) tests, and ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) tests. Furthermore, smart cockpits impose significant space constraints on flexible OLED displays.

[0084] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a display module according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A first mounting diagram of the first circuit board in the diagram. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the cross-section of the display module in this disclosure shows that an embodiment of the display module is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the display module may include a display panel 2, a first circuit board 4, and a shielding strip 6 arranged sequentially in a first direction, perpendicular to the display panel 2. At least a portion of the orthographic projection of the first circuit board 4 onto a first plane 7 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the display panel 2 onto the first plane 7. The orthographic projection of the shielding strip 6 onto the first plane 7 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first circuit board 4 onto the first plane 7. The first plane 7 is parallel to the display panel 2. Therefore, by extending the first circuit board 4 beyond the range of the display panel 2 and combining it with the shielding strip 6, the display module of this example achieves partial externalization of the first circuit board 4 and the shielding strip 6 relative to the display panel 2, thereby improving ESD resistance, EMI resistance, and heat dissipation, thus enhancing the safety performance of the display module.

[0085] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the display panel 2 can include a display part 8, a bending part 9 and a binding part 10 connected in sequence, wherein the display part 8, the bending part 9 and the binding part 10 can be an integral piece, the display part 8 can be flat, the display part 8 can have a light-emitting side 23 and a backlight side 24, and after the display part 8 is lighted, the light-emitting side 23 emits light to display text or images. One end of the bending part 9 is connected to one end of the display part 8 in a second direction parallel to one direction in the first plane 7, the bending part 9 can be of flexible material, the bending part 9 can be bent, and the bending part 9 can have metal traces and the like thereon. The bending part 9 can be laid flat on a production device during production, and the bending part 9 can be folded to the backlight side 24 of the display part 8 during installation, so that the bending part 9 is in a curved state and remains in the curved state, and in the curved state, the bending part 9 forms a nearly semicircular shape. The binding part 10 is on the backlight side 24 of the display part 8, the binding part 10 is parallel to the display part 8, and the binding part 10 has a chip-on-panel (COP) area and a driver integrated circuit (D-IC) area.

[0086] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The binding part 10 and the display part 8 are spaced apart in a first direction, and the binding part 10 is parallel to the display part 8. The backlight side 24 of the display part 8 further has a back film layer 18, an adhesive layer 19 and a support layer 3 stacked in sequence in the first direction, the back film layer 18 can be bonded to the display part 8, the adhesive layer 19 is on a side of the back film layer 18 away from the display part 8, the adhesive layer 19 can be a heat-conducting adhesive, the support layer 3 is on a side of the adhesive layer 19 away from the back film layer 18, and the back film layer 18, the adhesive layer 19 and the support layer 3 fill the space between the binding part 10 and the display part 8. The binding part 10 is on a side of the support layer 3 away from the display part 8, and the binding part 10 and the support layer 3 are provided with spacers 20.

[0087] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The display module further includes a flexible printed circuit (FPC) 5, and the FPC 5 is arranged to be bound to the binding part 10 and the first circuit board 4, respectively. The FPC 5 can be provided in a plurality, and the plurality of FPCs 5 are arranged to be spaced apart in a third direction, the third direction is parallel to another direction in the first plane and perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction.

[0088] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the display module further includes a composite layer 1, which can be located on the light-emitting side 23 of the display part 8. The composite layer 1 includes, in sequence from top to bottom in the first direction, a polarizing layer 17, a second transparent adhesive layer 16, a touch layer 15, a first transparent adhesive layer 14, and a cover plate 13. The composite layer 1 can transmit light emitted by the display part 8. The polarizing layer 17 is located on the side of the display part 8 away from the back film layer 18 and is bonded to the display part 8. The polarizing layer 17 can reduce the influence of external light emission on the image display of the display part 8. The touch layer 15 is located on the side of the polarizing layer 17 away from the display part 8 and is bonded through the second transparent adhesive layer 16 and the polarizing layer 17. The touch layer 15 can detect touch information of the display module. The cover plate 13 is located on the side of the touch layer 15 away from the polarizing layer 17 and is bonded through the first transparent adhesive layer 14 and the touch layer 15. The cover plate 13 can protect the display part 8.

[0089] Figure 4 For Figure 1 a second mounting schematic view of the first circuit board in FIG. 1, Figure 5 For Figure 4 a schematic view of the first circuit board in FIG. 1, Figure 6 For Figure 4 a projection schematic view of the first circuit board in FIG. 1. In some example embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 the first circuit board 4 can be a hard printed circuit board (PCB). The first circuit board 4 can be parallel to the first plane 7 and parallel to the display part 8. The area of the orthographic projection of the first circuit board 4 on the first plane 7 is S2. The first circuit board 4 includes an integral main board part 11 and an extension part 12. The main board part 11 can be a rectangular plate and is located on the backlight side 24 of the display part 8. The orthographic projection of the main board part 11 on the first plane 7 can be located within the orthographic projection of the display part 8 on the first plane 7. Thus, the edge of the main board part 11 in the second direction does not protrude beyond the edge of the display part 8 in the second direction, and the edge of the main board part 11 in the third direction does not protrude beyond the edge of the display part 8 in the third direction. This avoids the first circuit board 4 extending laterally beyond the display panel 2 and meets the high demand of the intelligent cockpit for lateral bezel space.

[0090] In some example embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, Figures 4 to 6As shown, the extension part 12 is also plate-shaped, one end of the extension part 12 is connected to the edge of the main plate part 11, and the other end extends to the side with the binding part 10, so that the first circuit board 4 is in a right angle shape, wherein the extension part 12 extends in the second direction, one end of the extension part 12 is connected to the edge of the main plate part 11 close to the binding part 10 in the second direction, and the other end extends to the lower edge of the display module, making full use of the space of the lower edge of the intelligent cockpit. The orthographic projection of the extension part 12 on the first plane 7 is at least partially not overlapped with the orthographic projection of the display part 8 on the first plane 7, that is, the orthographic projection of the extension part 12 on the first plane 7 is partially not within the orthographic projection of the display part 8 on the first plane 7, so that the end of the extension part 12 away from the main plate part 11 protrudes the edge of the display panel 2 in the second direction, so that the first circuit board 4 forms a part of the externalization relative to the display panel 2. Therefore, the extension part 12 partially protrudes the edge of the display panel 2 in the second direction, and the part is far away from the display panel 2, and the heat generated by the part does not directly affect the display panel 2, so that the part of the first circuit board 4 externalization relative to the display panel 2 can improve the heat dissipation effect. The extension part 12 is located on one side of the binding part 10 in the third direction, and the extension part 12 is formed to avoid the binding part 10, the orthographic projection of the first circuit board 4 on the first plane 7 is the second projection 43, the orthographic projection of the binding part 10 on the first plane 7 is the third projection 44, and the second projection 43 and the third projection 44 are not overlapped.

[0091] Figure 7 For Figure 1 the third mounting diagram of the first circuit board in some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 , the first device 25 is arranged on the extension part 12, and the first device 25 is on the side of the extension part 12 away from the composite layer 1. The first device 25 can be a high-heat device that generates a large amount of heat during operation. The orthographic projection of the first device 25 on the first plane 7 is not overlapped with the orthographic projection of the display panel 2 on the first plane 7, so that the first device 25 is away from the display panel 2, thereby preventing the heat generated by the first device 25 from affecting the display effect of the display panel 2, improving heat dissipation, and ensuring the display effect.

[0092] Figure 8 For Figure 1 the shielding band diagram in some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 , the shielding band and the first circuit board are split, Figure 1 , the shielding band diagram and the first circuit board split diagram in some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 , the orthographic projection diagram of the shielding band in some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 , the A-A cross-sectional view in some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 , the A-A cross-sectional view in some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the A-A cross-sectional view in some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figures 8 to 11As shown, the shielding tape 6 can be a conductive adhesive tape, i.e., Shield Tape, a product with high-conductive adhesive backing specially used for electromagnetic shielding. The shielding tape 6 is usually composed of a metal foil or conductive cloth and a conductive adhesive backing, which together form a complete conductive body that can be connected to a metal surface by adhesion to realize electrical bonding and gap sealing, thereby achieving the effect of electromagnetic shielding. The shielding tape 6 includes an integral first shielding portion 26 and a second shielding portion 27.
