[0045] The first flexible circuit board 100 includes at least two stacked first conductive layers 110 , and two adjacent first conductive layers 110 are separated to provide more wiring space, so that the backlight module can integrate more light-emitting components.
[0046] The light emitting component 200 is disposed on the first flexible circuit board 100 and electrically connected to the first conductive layer 110. The second flexible circuit board 300 is fixed to one side of the first flexible circuit board 100.

[0048] The backlight module of the present application is formed by splicing two flexible circuit boards, so that the first flexible circuit board 100 and the second flexible circuit board 300 can be manufactured separately. By providing the first flexible circuit board 100, which is electrically connected to multiple light-emitting components 200, with multiple first conductive layers 110, the first flexible circuit board 100 can provide routing space for the partitioned circuits of a large number of light-emitting components 200. By electrically connecting the first conductive layer 110 of the first flexible circuit board 100 with the second conductive layer 310 of the second flexible circuit board 300, the electronic components 400 on the second flexible circuit board 300 can control the electrical signals of the light-emitting components 200 on the first flexible circuit board 100. In addition, the manufacturing cost of the vias and conductive layers of the second flexible circuit board 300 is reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the backlight module while integrating more light-emitting components.

[0051] In this embodiment, the electronic component 400 includes a resistor and / or a capacitor.
[0052] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first flexible circuit board 100 is greater than that of the second flexible circuit board 300. Specifically, the number of first conductive layers 110 of the first flexible circuit board 100 is greater than the number of second conductive layers 310 of the second flexible circuit board 300, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the vias and conductive layers of the second flexible circuit board 300.
[0053] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present application, the number of the first conductive layer 110 of the first flexible circuit board 100 is two, and the number of the second conductive layer 310 of the second flexible circuit board 300 is one.
[0054] Alternatively, the first conductive layer 110 of the first flexible circuit board 100 is two or more layers in number, and the second conductive layer 310 of the second flexible circuit board 300 is one layer in number.
[0055] In the embodiment, the electronic components 400 on the second flexible circuit board 300 are electrically connected to the same second conductive layer 310, and the at least two light-emitting assemblies 200 on the first flexible circuit board 100 are electrically connected to different layers of the first conductive layer 110, so that the light-emitting assemblies 200 have more wiring space.
[0056] In the embodiment, the first flexible circuit board 100 is provided with a first step 1001 on the side away from the light-emitting device, the first step 1001 is located on the side of the first flexible circuit board 100 close to the second flexible circuit board 300, a part of the bottom surface of the first conductive layer 110 is exposed to the step surface of the first step 1001, the second flexible circuit board 300 is provided with a second step 3001 on the side facing the electronic components 400, the second step 3001 is located on the side of the second flexible circuit board 300 close to the first flexible circuit board 100, a part of the top surface of the second conductive layer 310 is exposed to the step surface of the second step 3001, at least a part of the step surface of the first step 1001 is stacked on at least a part of the step surface of the second step 3001, and the part of the first conductive layer 110 exposed to the step surface of the first step 1001 is electrically connected to the part of the second conductive layer 310 exposed to the step surface of the second step 3001.
[0057] In the embodiment, the first step 1001 is arranged on the side of the first flexible circuit board 100 away from the light-emitting device to expose a part of the bottom surface of the first conductive layer 110, the second step 3001 is arranged on the side of the second flexible circuit board 300 away from the light-emitting device to expose a part of the bottom surface of the second conductive layer 310, the first step 1001 is butted against the second step 3001 to electrically connect the first conductive layer 110 and the second conductive layer 310, and the electrical connection of the first conductive layer 110 and the second conductive layer 310 does not need to be additionally provided with other devices, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of splicing the first flexible circuit board 100 and the second flexible circuit board 300.
[0058] In the embodiment, the first conductive layer 110 is located above the second conductive layer 310.
[0059] In the embodiment, the first flexible circuit board 100 further includes a first substrate 120, and the at least one first conductive layer 110 is located below the first substrate 120, and a part of the bottom surface of the first conductive layer 110 located below the first substrate 120 is exposed to the step surface of the first step 1001.
[0060] Specifically, when the first flexible circuit board 100 has two layers of first conductive layers 110, one layer of the first conductive layer 110 is located above the first substrate 120, and the other layer of the first conductive layer 110 is located below the first substrate 120. When the first step 1001 is arranged on the side of the first flexible circuit board 100 facing away from the light-emitting component 200, that is, when the first step 1001 is arranged on the back side of the first flexible circuit board 100, a portion of the bottom surface of the first conductive layer 110 located below the first substrate 120 is exposed to the step surface of the first step 1001, that is, only the portion of the first flexible circuit board 100 located below the first substrate 120 is removed, and the first substrate 120 is retained, ensuring that the first substrate 120 can maintain a supporting effect on the film layer of the first flexible circuit board 100.
[0061] In this embodiment, the second flexible circuit board 300 further includes a second substrate 320 , and the second conductive layer 310 is located above the second substrate 320 .
[0062] In this embodiment, a first binding portion 160 is provided on the first conductive layer 110 exposed on the step surface of the first step 1001, and the first binding portion 160 is provided with multiple first conductive parts 161, and the first conductive parts 161 are located on the step surface of the first step 1001. A second binding portion 360 is provided on the second conductive layer 310 exposed on the step surface of the second step 3001, and the second binding portion 360 is provided with multiple second conductive parts 361, and the second conductive parts 361 are located on the step surface of the second step 3001. The first conductive parts 161 are connected to the second conductive parts 361 through conductive glue.
[0063] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the second flexible circuit board 300 is located at a lower plane than the bottom surface of the first flexible circuit board 100 , and the top surface of the second flexible circuit board 300 is located at a lower plane than the top surface of the first flexible circuit board 100 .
[0064] In this embodiment, the first conductive member 161 of the first conductive layer 110 and the second conductive member 361 of the second conductive layer 310 are bound to fix the second flexible circuit board 300 on the first flexible circuit board 100 so that the second conductive layer 310 is electrically connected to one of the first conductive layers 110 .
[0065] In this embodiment, a portion of the first flexible circuit board 100 overlaps a portion of the second flexible circuit board 300 .
[0066] In this embodiment, a portion of the first conductive layer 110 overlaps a portion of the second conductive layer 310 .
[0067] In this embodiment, in a top view, the length of the overlapping portion of the first conductive layer 110 and the second conductive layer 310, in the direction from the first flexible circuit board 100 toward the second flexible circuit board 300, is greater than or equal to 500 μm. Within this range, the electrical contact between the first conductive layer 110 and the second conductive layer 310 is reliable, improving the stability of electrical signal transmission in the backlight module.
[0068] In this embodiment, the distance between the center lines of two adjacent first conductive members 161 is 0.12 mm, and the distance between the center lines of two adjacent second conductive members 361 is 0.12 mm.
[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first flexible circuit board 100 is provided with a first bending portion 170, and the area where the first bending portion 170 is located is located between the area where the light-emitting component 200 is located and the area where the first step 1001 is located, and the first bending portion 170 is located on the same side of any two light-emitting components 200.
[0070] Specifically, the first bending portion 170 is located on a side of any two light-emitting components 200 close to the first step 1001 .
[0071] In this embodiment, the area where the first bent portion 170 is located is located between the area where the light-emitting component 200 is located and the area where the first step 1001 is located. The first bent portion 170 is provided in an area other than the connection position between the first flexible circuit board 100 and the second flexible circuit board 300. This reduces the stress on the connection between the first flexible circuit board 100 and the second flexible circuit board 300 when the backlight module is in a bent state, thereby preventing the first flexible circuit board 100 and the second flexible circuit board 300 from being broken due to the stress.
[0072] Furthermore, the area where the first bending portion 170 is located is located between the area where the light-emitting component 200 is located and the area where the first step 1001 is located, so that after the first bending portion 170 is bent, the first step 1001 and the second step 3001 are both located on the back side of the backlight module, thereby ensuring that the first conductive layer 110 and the second conductive layer 310 have a larger binding area while the display device has a narrower frame.
[0073] Or, as Figure 7 As shown, the second flexible circuit board 300 is provided with a second bending portion 370 , and the area where the second bending portion 370 is located is located between the area where the electronic component 400 is located and the area where the second step 3001 is located.

[0075] The second flexible circuit board 300 also includes a second substrate 320, a second upper packaging layer 330 and a second lower packaging layer 340. The second conductive layer 310 is located on the surface of the second substrate 320 close to the electronic components 400 and contacts the second substrate 320. The second upper packaging layer 330 contacts the surface of the second conductive layer 310 away from the second substrate 320, and the second lower packaging layer 340 contacts the surface of the second substrate 320 away from the second conductive layer 310.
[0076] Specifically, the first flexible circuit board 100 includes a first upper packaging layer 130 and a second lower packaging layer 340, and the two first conductive layers 110 are respectively in contact with the opposite sides of the first substrate 120, wherein the first upper packaging layer 130 is arranged on the first conductive layer 110 located on the side of the first substrate 120 close to the light-emitting device, and the first lower packaging layer 140 is arranged below the first conductive layer 110 located on the side of the first substrate 120 away from the light-emitting device.
[0077] In this embodiment, the first upper encapsulation layer 130 and the first lower encapsulation layer 140 include a first adhesive layer 151 and a first cover film layer 152 . The first cover film layer 152 is connected to the first conductive layer 110 through the first adhesive layer 151 .
[0078] In this embodiment, the second conductive layer 310 contacts the second substrate 320 and is laminated to the second upper packaging layer 330 . The side of the second substrate 320 facing away from the second conductive layer 310 is laminated to the second lower packaging layer 340 .
[0079] The second upper encapsulation layer 330 and the second lower encapsulation layer 340 each include a second adhesive layer 351 and a second cover film layer 352 .

[0084] Specifically, in the case that the first flexible circuit board 100 has two first conductive layers 110, one first conductive layer 110 is located above the first substrate 120, and the other first conductive layer 110 is located below the first substrate 120, wherein, in the case that the first step 1001 is arranged on the side of the first flexible circuit board 100 close to the light emitting assembly 200, i.e. in the case that the first step 1001 is arranged on the top surface of the first flexible circuit board 100, a part of the top surface of the first conductive layer 110 located above the first substrate 120 constitutes the step surface of the first step 1001, i.e. only the part of the first flexible circuit board 100 located above the first substrate 120 is removed, and the first substrate 120 is retained, so as to ensure that the first substrate 120 can support the film layer of the first flexible circuit board 100.
[0085] In the embodiment, the second conductive layer 310 is located above or below the second substrate 320.
[0086] In the embodiment, the plane where the top surface of the first flexible circuit board 100 is located is lower than the plane where the top surface of the second flexible circuit board 300 is located, and the plane where the bottom surface of the first flexible circuit board 100 is located is lower than the plane where the bottom surface of the second flexible circuit board 300 is located.
[0087] Alternatively, the first flexible circuit board 100 is not provided with the first step 1001, and the second flexible circuit board 300 is not provided with a step.
