[0029] In the related art, in order to improve the display effect of display products, micro lenses are set in the display products, and the light output range is adjusted by the micro lenses to improve the display effect. Such display products often have problems such as jagged appearance of the screen body and module finished product, fine horizontal stripes on the display, abnormal touch test, etc. For narrow-frame products, the above problems will be further exacerbated.

[0030] In view of this, the present application provides a display module and a display device, which solve the above problems by setting grooves in the frame area and using the grooves to block the fluid material in the microlens preparation process to prevent overflow of the fluid material, thereby improving the reliability of the display product.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] In the accompanying drawings, the sizes of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity of illustration. It is understood that when a structure is referred to as being "on or under" another structure, the structure may be directly on or under the other structure, or there may be intermediate structures. The same reference numerals always indicate the same structure. The structures mentioned herein include any of a film layer, an element, a device, a component, and an assembly.

[0033] When a structure is referred to as being “connected” to another structure, the structure may be directly connected to the other structure or indirectly connected to the other structure with one or more intervening structures interposed therebetween.

[0034] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having some electrical function. There is no particular limitation on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it can transmit and receive electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.

[0035] In this specification, the term “same-layer arrangement” refers to a structure in which two (or more) structures are formed by the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different.

Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a bending state of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the display module along the A1A2 line is shown. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the display module has a display area AA, a frame area NA and a bending area SA. The frame area NA surrounds the display area AA. In the first direction x, the bending area SA is located on the side of the frame area NA away from the display area AA.

[0037] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The display module includes a display panel 10, a first optical layer 21, and a second optical layer 22.

The microlenses 211 are located in the display area AA, and at least part of the grooves G are located on the side of the bending area SA away from the display area AA. The grooves G at least partially fill the gaps between adjacent microlenses 211, and the edge line of the orthographic projection of the second optical layer 22 on the display panel 10 does not exceed the orthographic projection of the grooves G on the display panel 10.

[0038] For example, in the thickness direction of the display panel 10, the groove G may penetrate the first optical layer 21, or partially penetrate the first optical layer 21. The number and shape of the groove G are not limited in this embodiment.

An adhesive layer 90 may be provided between the polarizer 70 and the display panel 10. When the display module is in a bent state, the polarizer 70 is located on the display side of the display panel 10. Exemplarily, the polarizer 70 covers the display area AA and at least a portion of the frame area NA of the display panel 10.

[0040] According to the display module provided in this embodiment, by setting the groove G in the first optical layer 21, the fluid material in the process of preparing the second optical layer 22 can be blocked to avoid the overflow of the fluid material, thereby solving the problems of jagged appearance of the screen body and the finished module appearance caused by the overflow of the fluid material, fine horizontal lines on the display, abnormal touch test, etc., thereby improving the reliability of the display module. At the same time, since at least part of the groove G is set on the side of the bending area SA away from the display area AA, the polarizer 70 can be avoided, and the stress caused by the polarizer 70 can be avoided to cause the separation of the film layer at the groove G, thereby further improving the reliability of the display module.
