Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display module and display device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional flexible display modules typically achieve a narrow bezel effect by bending the pad area of the display panel to the back of the display module using a pad bending process. In related technologies, a flexible circuit board is connected to one side of the pads, while the side of the pad area furthest from the flexible circuit board is connected to the display panel. The bending process then positions the pad area and the flexible circuit board together on the back of the display module, saving space and achieving a narrow bezel. However, this requires sacrificing a significant area along the length of the back of the display module, affecting the spatial arrangement of other components and hindering the overall reduction in the size of the display device, thus impeding its miniaturization. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, this application provides a display module and display device to improve the problem that pads and flexible circuit boards occupy too much space on the back of the display module in the longitudinal direction.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a display module, comprising:
[0006] The display panel includes a panel portion, a terminal portion, and a bending portion. One side of the panel portion along its length is connected to the terminal portion through the bending portion, and the terminal portion is bent to the back of the panel portion. A solder pad is provided on the side of the terminal portion away from the bending portion.
[0007] A flexible circuit board electrically connected to the pads, and at least a portion of the flexible circuit board is located on one side of the terminal portion along the width direction of the panel portion.
[0008] In some embodiments of this application, one side of the panel portion in the length direction has an edge, which is connected to the bent portion; along the width direction, the width of the terminal portion is smaller than the width of the panel portion, and one side of the terminal portion in the width direction and the edge define an accommodating space, and the flexible circuit board is at least partially located within the accommodating space.
[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the flexible circuit board includes a connecting portion and a device portion. The connecting portion is connected to the pad, and the connecting portion is connected to the device portion on one side along the width direction. The device portion is located within the accommodating space, and the device portion and the terminal portion are arranged side by side along the width direction.
[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the flexible circuit board further includes a board-to-board connector, wherein the side of the device portion away from the edge is connected to the board-to-board connector along the length direction.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, along the width direction, the terminal portion includes a first contour facing the flexible circuit board, and the flexible circuit board includes a second contour facing the terminal portion along the width direction, the shape of the first contour being contour-mimicking the shape of the second contour.
[0012] In some embodiments of this application, both the first contour and the second contour are chamfered.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the first profile includes a vertical segment and an inclined segment, the vertical segment is connected to the inclined segment, and one end of the inclined segment away from the vertical segment is connected to the side of the terminal portion away from the bent segment;
[0014] The second profile includes a first sub-segment and a second sub-segment, the first sub-segment is connected to the second sub-segment, the first sub-segment is aligned and parallel to the vertical segment, and the second sub-segment is aligned and parallel to the inclined segment.
[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the flexible circuit board includes a clearance portion, the device portion and the connection portion are connected through the clearance portion, the width of the clearance portion in the length direction is smaller than the width of the connection portion in the length direction, so that the clearance portion and the connection portion form a discontinuity; the terminal portion away from the bending portion includes a chamfered segment and a non-chamfered segment on the side, the chamfered segment is located at the discontinuity and the chamfered segment is spaced apart from the clearance portion, and at least a portion of the non-chamfered segment is connected to the connection portion.
[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the distance between the device portion and the terminal portion is not less than 0.2 mm, the distance between the device portion and the edge is not less than 0.2 mm, and the distance between the clearance portion and the chamfered segment is not less than 0.2 mm.
[0017] In some embodiments of this application, along the width direction, the center line of the terminal portion is located on one side of the center line of the panel portion.
[0018] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a display device including the display module as described in the first aspect.
[0019] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, this application includes at least the following beneficial effects:
[0020] This application provides a display module and display device. By placing a portion of a flexible circuit board on one side of the terminal portion along the width direction of the display panel, the flexible circuit board and the terminal portion are arranged side-by-side in the width direction. This fully utilizes the space in the length direction of the display panel already occupied by the terminal portion, ensuring that the flexible circuit board does not excessively occupy the space in the length direction of the back of the display panel, thus saving space. The extra space in the length direction of the back of the display panel can be used to install more other components or larger components, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the display module. More specifically, in related technologies, after the flexible circuit board is bent along with the terminal portion, it further increases its own length direction area on top of the area occupied by the terminal portion in the length direction of the back of the display panel. This results in the flexible circuit board and the terminal portion jointly occupying a large area in the length direction of the back of the panel, reducing the space for other components and potentially wasting a significant amount of space in the width direction of the back of the panel. In this application, by placing a portion of the flexible circuit board on one side of the terminal portion along the width direction, i.e., arranging a portion of the flexible circuit board and the terminal portion side-by-side in the width direction, the area of the display panel in the width direction is fully utilized to save space in the length direction of the display panel. Furthermore, since the terminal portion already occupies a portion of the display panel's length direction area, the flexible circuit board essentially reuses the length direction dimension of the display panel occupied by the terminal portion, further making the arrangement between the flexible circuit board and the pads more compact. Specifically, even without occupying the length direction dimension occupied by the terminal portion, it is difficult to install other components within that length direction dimension; that is, even without occupying this space, it would still result in a waste of the display panel's width direction area. Moreover, the flexible circuit board would need to occupy additional length direction dimension of the display panel, resulting in even greater area waste. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0030] Furthermore, this application uses specific terms to describe embodiments of the application. For example, "an embodiment," "one embodiment," and / or "some embodiments" refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic associated with at least one embodiment of the application. Therefore, it should be emphasized and noted that "an embodiment," "one embodiment," or "an alternative embodiment" mentioned twice or more in different locations in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, certain features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments of the application can be appropriately combined.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a display module including a display panel 100 and a flexible circuit board 300. The display panel further includes a panel portion 110, a terminal portion 200, and a bending portion 112. The display panel 100 is rectangular and has a length direction Y and a width direction X. One side of the panel portion 110 in the length direction Y is connected to the terminal portion 200 through the bending portion 112. Specifically, one side of the panel portion in the length direction has an edge 111, which is connected to the bending portion 112, thereby indirectly connecting the edge 111 to the terminal portion 200. The terminal portion 200 is bent to the back side of the panel portion 110. A solder pad is provided on the side of the terminal portion 200 away from the bending portion 112.
[0032] The flexible circuit board 300 is electrically connected to the terminal portion 200 and is located on the back of the display panel 100, and at least a portion of the flexible circuit board 300 is located on one side of the terminal portion 200 along the width direction X.
[0033] The technical solution provided in this application arranges a portion of the flexible circuit board 300 on one side of the terminal portion 200 along the width direction X of the display panel 100, so that a portion of the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200 are arranged side by side in the width direction X. This makes full use of the area in the length direction Y of the display panel 100 already occupied by the terminal portion 200, so that the arrangement of the flexible circuit board 300 does not occupy too much area in the length direction Y of the back of the display panel 100, thereby saving space. The extra area in the length direction Y of the back of the display panel 100 can be used to set more other components or larger components, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the display module. In detail, in related technologies, after the flexible circuit board 300 is bent along with the terminal portion 200, its own area in the length direction Y of the back of the display panel 100 is further increased on top of the area occupied by the terminal portion 200. This results in the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200 jointly occupying a large area of the back of the display panel 100 in the length direction Y, reducing the space available for other components and potentially wasting a significant amount of area of the back of the display panel 100 in the width direction X. In this application, by placing a portion of the flexible circuit board 300 on one side of the terminal portion 200 along the width direction X, i.e., by arranging a portion of the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200 side by side in the width direction X, the area of the display panel 100 in the width direction X is fully utilized as much as possible, thereby saving space of the display panel 100 in the length direction Y. Furthermore, since the terminal portion 200 already occupies a portion of the display panel 100's area in the length direction Y, the flexible circuit board 300 essentially reuses the space of the display panel 100 in the length direction Y occupied by the terminal portion 200. This further makes the arrangement between the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200 more compact. Specifically, even if the terminal portion 200 does not occupy the space in the length direction Y, it is difficult to install other components within that length direction Y. That is, even without occupying this space, it would still result in a waste of the area of the display panel 100 in the width direction X. Moreover, the flexible circuit board 300 would need to occupy an additional portion of the display panel 100's area in the length direction Y, resulting in even more wasted area.
[0034] It should be noted that the panel portion 110 includes a display area and a peripheral area. The peripheral area surrounds the display area. The display area is mainly used for displaying images, while the peripheral area is mainly used for wiring. The edge 111 of the panel portion 110 in the length direction refers to the outline edge of the outer contour of the panel portion 110 in the length direction Y.
[0035] In some embodiments, along the width direction X, the center line of the terminal portion 200 is located to one side of the center line of the panel portion 110, that is, the terminal portion 200 is not centrally located relative to the panel portion 110. This provides space for the flexible circuit board 300 to be disposed on one side of the terminal portion 200 in the width direction X, preventing the flexible circuit board 300 from exceeding the area of the panel portion 110 by too much in the width direction X. Specifically, the terminal portion 200 can be disposed either on the left side of the panel portion 110 in the length direction Y or on the right side of the panel portion 110 in the length direction Y, without limitation.
[0036] In some embodiments, the width of the terminal portion 200 is smaller than the width of the panel portion 110 along the width direction X, and one side of the terminal portion 200 along the width direction X defines an accommodating space with an edge 111. This edge 111 is manufactured using a precise laser cutting process, ensuring that the terminal portion 200 can be tightly connected to the flexible circuit board 300 after bending, without damaging the panel portion 110 or the terminal portion 200 during the cutting process. A portion of the flexible circuit board 300 is electrically connected to the terminal portion 200 and is bent together with the terminal portion 200 to the back of the display panel 100, while another portion of the flexible circuit board 300 is located on the opposite side of the edge 111 and the terminal portion 200 along the width direction X. This accommodating space specifically provides mounting space for components (such as capacitors, resistors, etc.) on the flexible circuit board 300, ensuring that the components can be compactly and rationally arranged in the display module.
[0037] In practice, the edge 111 is processed using laser cutting technology to create a clear boundary with the bent portion 112 while maintaining a certain structural strength, thus ensuring the reliability of the entire module. Simultaneously with the bending of the terminal portion 200, the connecting portion 310 and the device portion 330 of the flexible circuit board 300 are also arranged, achieving optimal layout of the entire module within the limited back space. The device portion 330 avoids direct overlap with the terminal portion 200.
[0038] In traditional designs, after the terminal portion 200 is bent, the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200 share the rear space in the length direction Y. To accommodate other components, the module needs to be extended in the length direction Y, directly increasing the module's size. This invention, through the division of the edge 111 and the accommodating space, places a portion of the flexible circuit board 300 on the side area of the terminal portion 200, rather than directly behind it in the length direction Y. This allows for more efficient use of the rear space of the display panel 100, avoiding overlapping layouts between the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200, while also freeing up more space for component placement. The division of the accommodating space not only saves space but also allows components on the flexible circuit board 300 (such as chips and resistors) to be rationally distributed on the back of the display module. By reserving sufficient accommodating space through the edge 111, it is ensured that these components will not cause physical or electrical interference with the terminal portion 200, thereby improving the overall performance of the display module.
[0039] Further, please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The flexible circuit board 300 includes a connecting portion 310 and a device portion 330. The connecting portion 310 is connected to one side of the terminal portion 200 and is bent together with the terminal portion 200 to the back of the display panel 100. The device portion 330 is arranged side by side with the connecting portion 310 in the width direction X. The device portion 330 is mainly used to accommodate other components, such as driver chips, resistors, capacitors, etc. The device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200 are arranged side by side on the back of the panel portion 110 in the width direction X, reducing the module's occupation in the length direction Y. In addition, the edge 111 is formed by a precise cutting process during the manufacturing process of the display module, so that the display panel 100 leaves space for the device portion 330 in the width direction X. The device portion 330 is located within the accommodating space defined by the edge 111, so that the device portion 330 of the flexible circuit board 300 does not overlap with the terminal portion 200 and can be arranged compactly and reasonably within the accommodating space.
[0040] In this embodiment, the device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200 of the flexible circuit board 300 are arranged side by side in the width direction X, and the device portion 330 and the connecting portion 310 of the flexible circuit board 300 are connected to each other, so that the space occupied by the device portion 330 and the space occupied by the terminal portion 200 are independent of each other and will not affect each other, so that the terminal portion 200 and the flexible circuit board 300 can be more tightly combined, thereby improving the overall compactness of the module.
[0041] In some embodiments, the flexible circuit board 300 further includes a board-to-board connector 350, which is connected to the side of the device portion 330 away from the edge 111 in the longitudinal direction Y. The board-to-board connector 350 enables the flexible circuit board 300 to make efficient electrical connections with other circuit modules. By providing the board-to-board connector 350 at the end of the flexible circuit board 300 in the longitudinal direction Y, electrical signals can be transmitted from the flexible circuit board 300 to the main circuit board, avoiding the signal loss problems that may occur in conventional methods.
[0042] In some embodiments, please participate Figure 2 and Figure 3 The terminal portion 200 includes a first contour 210 facing the flexible circuit board 300 along the width direction X, and the flexible circuit board 300 includes a second contour 320 facing the terminal portion 200 along the width direction X. The shape of the first contour 210 is similar to the shape of the second contour 320, and the first contour 210 and the second contour 320 are spaced apart. This not only allows the device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200 to make full use of the area in the width direction X of the display panel 100, but also ensures that the device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200 do not directly contact each other, avoiding problems such as circuit interference and short circuits. In addition, the spaced arrangement between the terminal portion 200 and the device portion 330 also ensures that the structure of the flexible circuit board 300 will not fail due to laser cutting when the module is laser-cut. It should be noted that the gap between the terminal portion 200 and the device portion 330 is mainly determined based on the cutting of the display panel 100. In detail, before the flexible circuit board 300 is bonded to the terminal portion 200, the display panel 100 is cut to form an edge 111. During the cutting, the flexible circuit board 300 is precisely cut according to its size so that after the flexible circuit board 300 is bonded to the terminal portion 200, a gap can be formed between the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200 in the width direction X.
[0043] In some embodiments, both the first profile 210 and the second profile 320 are chamfered.
[0044] Further, please see Figure 4 The first contour 210 includes a vertical segment 211 and an inclined segment 212. The vertical segment 211 is connected to the inclined segment 212. Along the length direction Y, the inclined segment 212 is inclined toward the bend 112 so that the vertical segment 211 and the inclined segment 212 form a chamfered structure of the terminal portion 200. The chamfered structure is surrounded by the second contour 320 and the connecting portion 310.
[0045] The technical solution provided in this embodiment utilizes a first contour 210 composed of a vertical segment 211 and an inclined segment 212. The vertical segment 211 is connected to the bent portion 112 of the display panel 100, and the inclined segment 212 is connected to the vertical segment 211 and extends to the back of the display panel 100. The end of the inclined segment 212 away from the vertical segment 211 is connected to the side of the terminal portion 200 away from the bent portion 112, forming a chamfered structure. This chamfered structure ensures that the terminal portion 200 maintains good mechanical properties when bent and ensures that there are no obvious wrinkles or breaks on the surface of the terminal portion 200 after bending. The device portion 330 of the flexible circuit board 300 is disposed opposite to the first contour 210 of the terminal portion 200 and is arranged side by side with the terminal portion 200 in the width direction X. The chamfered structures of the device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200 cooperate with each other to ensure a tight fit between the device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200.
[0046] Furthermore, please see Figure 4 The second profile includes a first sub-segment 321 and a second sub-segment 322. The first sub-segment 321 is aligned and parallel to the vertical segment 211, and the second sub-segment 322 is aligned and parallel to the inclined segment 212, so that the shape of the second profile matches the chamfered structure. It is also chamfered.
[0047] In this embodiment, the second profile of the flexible circuit board 300 is further subdivided into a first sub-segment 321 and a second sub-segment 322. The first sub-segment 321 is parallel to and aligned with the vertical segment 211 of the terminal portion 200, and the second sub-segment 322 is aligned with and parallel to the inclined segment 212 of the terminal portion 200. This arrangement allows the second profile of the flexible circuit board 300 to be as close as possible to the chamfered structure of the terminal portion 200 without contacting it, ensuring electrical performance while creating a more compact structural layout. The vertical segment 211 is arranged opposite to the first sub-segment 321 to ensure a stable connection between the second profile and the terminal portion 200, while the inclined segment 212 is arranged opposite to the second sub-segment 322, with a chamfered transition, making the overall structure of the terminal portion 200 and the flexible circuit board 300 more in line with the miniaturization requirements of the module. This matching design between the chamfer and the second contour not only increases the overall mechanical strength of the module, but also reduces stress concentration on the terminal 200 and flexible circuit board 300 caused by bending, so that it can maintain the reliability of electrical connection after multiple bends.
[0048] In some embodiments, the flexible circuit board 300 includes a clearance portion, and the device portion 330 and the connecting portion 310 are connected through the clearance portion 340. The width of the clearance portion 340 in the length direction Y is smaller than the width of the connecting portion 310 in the length direction Y, so that there is a discontinuity between the clearance portion 340 and the connecting portion 310 in the length direction Y, and the space defined by this discontinuity is the clearance position. The side of the terminal portion 200 away from the bending portion 112 includes a chamfered segment 214 and a non-chamfered segment 215. The chamfered segment 214 is located at the discontinuity and is spaced apart from the clearance portion 340, that is, the chamfered segment 214 is located within the clearance position. At least a portion of the non-chamfered segment 215 is connected to the connecting portion 310. The chamfered structure is located within the clearance area, which effectively prevents the corner of the terminal portion 200 facing the device portion 330 from contacting the flexible circuit board 300 and causing circuit problems. The clearance area can accommodate the corner of the terminal portion 200 without increasing the distance between the flexible circuit board 300 and the terminal portion 200 due to the corner, making the structure more compact.
[0049] In the above embodiments, the first contour 210 includes a vertical segment 211 and an inclined segment 212, meaning the terminal portion 200 has a chamfered structure. Compared to a rectangular structure, this allows for a larger area of the flexible circuit board 300 in the width direction X, which is more conducive to the miniaturization of the display module. Furthermore, by providing a chamfered structure to the terminal portion 200 in conjunction with the flexible circuit board 300 structure described in this application, even greater space can be saved in display modules of size 8 and above. For details, please refer to... Figure 5 .exist Figure 5 In this design, the terminal portion 200 is chamfered on the side of the display panel 100 furthest from the flexible circuit board 300 along the width direction X. This allows for a larger exposed area of the display panel 100 in the width direction X, providing more space for other components. The larger the display module size, the more space is available for other components, and the more significant the space savings become. It should be noted that although... Figure 5 The second contour 320 of the device portion 330 of the flexible circuit board 300 shown is a segment, and the first contour 210 of the terminal portion 200 is also a segment, without a chamfer structure. However, in other embodiments, the first contour 210 of the terminal portion 200 can still be set as a vertical segment 211 and an inclined segment 212, and the second contour 320 can still be set as a first sub-segment 321 and a second sub-segment 322, thereby forming a second contour 320 and a chamfer structure that match each other in shape.
[0050] In some embodiments, the distance between the device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200 is not less than 0.2 mm, the distance between the device portion 330 and the edge 111 is not less than 0.2 mm, and the distance between the clearance portion 340 and the chamfered section 214 is not less than 0.2 mm, so as to leave sufficient space between the device portion 330 and the terminal portion 200 to prevent electrical interference and to prevent the flexible circuit board 300 from failing due to the influence of laser cutting during laser cutting.
[0051] Embodiments of this application also provide a display device (not shown in the figures), which includes the display module described in any of the above embodiments. By utilizing the display module provided in the above embodiments, the display device can achieve a more compact structure and miniaturization.
[0052] It should be noted that, in order to simplify the description of the embodiments of this application and thus aid in the understanding of one or more embodiments, the foregoing description of the embodiments sometimes combines multiple features into a single embodiment, drawing, or description thereof. However, this method of description does not imply that the subject matter of this application requires more features than those mentioned in the claims. In fact, the embodiments have fewer features than all the features of the single embodiments disclosed above.
