Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of display screens, and in particular to a display screen structure with a COF narrow frame. Background Art

[0002] As a display tool that displays certain electronic files on the screen through a specific transmission device and then reflects them to the human eye, the display screen can display all kinds of information that people want on the screen through a preset program. Therefore, it is widely used in advertising signs, televisions, mobile phones, etc.

[0003] At present, the borders of consumer electronic display screens have become very narrow. Most of them have three sides of equal width, and the bottom border is still wider than the other three borders. The screen-to-body ratio is not high and the appearance is low. The borders of traditional products are too wide, making the product appearance too large and inconvenient to carry. The presence of IC at the terminal of the display will increase the width of the terminal area, which is not conducive to the realization of a narrow border structure. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention mainly provides a COF narrow-frame display screen structure to solve the technical problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0006] The COF narrow-frame display screen structure includes a liquid crystal glass module and a flexible circuit board connected to the liquid crystal glass module, and the driver chip is adhered to the flexible circuit board through packaging;

[0007] The flexible circuit board is carried on the glass connection terminal, and the glass connection terminal is vertically connected with the liquid crystal glass module and the flexible circuit board through anisotropic conductive adhesive.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the flexible circuit board away from the anisotropic conductive adhesive is connected to the printed circuit board, so that the driving chip and the flexible circuit board, the printed circuit board and the liquid crystal glass module are connected to form signal conduction.

[0009] Furthermore, the liquid crystal glass module includes a thin film transistor and a color filter connected to each other, an upper polarizer is attached to the upper side of the color filter, and a lower polarizer is attached to the upper side of the thin film transistor.

[0010] Furthermore, the glass connection terminal is integrally formed with the thin film transistor, and the glass connection terminal is located on one side surface of the thin film transistor and at one end of the thin film transistor close to the flexible circuit board.

[0011] Furthermore, the edge of the thin film transistor protrudes from the edge of the color filter by 1.2-1.5 mm.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] Compared with the existing product structure, because the driver chip is connected through a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), the driver chip and the flexible printed circuit board are an integrated assembly. Therefore, the driver chip is not placed on the liquid crystal glass connection terminal, thereby reducing the area occupied by a part of the panel, thereby reducing the size, making it thinner and lighter. At the same time, it also reduces the module factory's one driver chip binding process, eliminating the adverse effects of the driver chip binding to the liquid crystal glass.
