Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor display, in particular to a novel ultra-thin and ultra-light backlight structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Although the design technology of the existing backlight structure is relatively mature, the product development direction of the current industry is focused on ultra-thin and ultra-light. In order to effectively respond to this important trend, we hereby propose this scheme to seek a breakthrough solution.

[0003] In the structural design of the existing backlight, a plurality of key components must be integrated, including a back plate, a rubber frame, a light bar, a light guide plate, a reflective sheet, a plurality of optical films, and various adhesive tapes. This complex composition inevitably leads to higher requirements in terms of structural strength, overall weight, module thickness, and material cost.

[0004] The traditional backlight structure is limited by the inherent design concept and material application, and it is difficult to find an effective and reliable solution in terms of fundamental structural strength optimization or key size thickness reduction while maintaining basic performance. This limitation has become a major technical bottleneck restricting the continuous evolution of the backlight towards lighter and thinner, and it is difficult to meet the growing demand for extreme thinning development in the market. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application discloses a novel ultra-thin and ultra-light backlight structure to solve the above problems.

[0006] The present application is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present application provides a novel ultra-thin and ultra-light backlight structure, comprising:

[0008] The carbon fiber back plate is an L-shaped carbon fiber back plate, which is fixed by U-fold lamination, and the L-shaped short end is inserted into the U-fold;

[0009] One film, covering the surface of the light guide plate;

[0010] The ultra-thin light guide plate has a thickness of 0.25-0.5mm;

[0011] The reflective sheet is arranged below the light guide plate;

[0013] Further, the carbon fiber back plate is a full back plate structure or a large hollow back plate structure.

[0014] Further, it contains a rubber frame or does not contain a rubber frame.

[0015] Further, the carbon fiber backboard is fixed by glue, and the U-shaped edge corner enhances the structural strength.

[0016] Further, the LED light bar adopts 3004 / 2604 / 2605 / 3006 type LED chips.

[0017] Further, the reflective sheet is a white reflective sheet or a silver reflective sheet.

[0018] Further, the One film film integrates multiple optical film layers.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0020] The present application significantly improves the ultra-thin and ultra-light performance of the backlight source through innovative structural design. Specifically, the carbon fiber backboard adopts an L-shaped U-shaped edge bonding method, and the short end is designed to be inserted, which not only greatly reduces the overall weight, but also enhances the structural strength through the U-shaped edge corner, effectively resists external force impact, and improves product durability. The thickness of the ultra-thin light guide plate is controlled within the range of 0.25-0.5mm, and the One film film integrates multiple optical film layers (such as brightness enhancement film, diffusion film, etc.), which simplifies the traditional multi-layer film stacking, while ensuring optical uniformity and high brightness, further reducing the module thickness.

[0021] The reflective sheet of the present application is made of white or silver material, which optimizes the light reflection efficiency and reduces light loss. The LED light bar adopts 3004 / 2604 / 2605 / 3006 and other high-efficiency chip models to achieve low-power and high-brightness lighting effect. In addition, the flexible design of the glue frame provides configuration flexibility, which can further reduce weight and cost in the glue-free mode, and the full backboard or large hollow backboard structure adapts to different application scenarios. The overall scheme greatly reduces material cost and assembly complexity, improves production yield, and meets the urgent needs of the market for light and thin display devices.

[0093]

[0094] 3. Key verification points

[0095] Stress dispersion effect

[0096] The U-shaped structure converts the plane stress of the traditional back plate into a three-dimensional frame stress:

[0097] I U = I flat + 2Ad 2

[0098] Where:

[0099] I U : Total moment of inertia of U-shaped section (or cross-sectional moment of inertia, usually in mm 4 or m 4 ).

[0100] I flat : Moment of inertia of the flat part (U-shaped bottom web) about its own neutral axis (units are consistent with (I U ).

[0101] (A): Area of each side of the U-shaped (usually in mm 2 or m 2 ), corresponding to the "U-shaped side area" you described.

[0102] (d): Distance from overall neutral axis to the web's own centroidal axis (unit is usually mm or m), corresponds to what you described as "neutral axis to web distance".

[0103] Coefficient (2): indicates that U-shaped section has two symmetric side edges (flanges), so the contribution term is doubled.

[0104] By strain gauge data comparison: the edge stress concentration factor of the experimental group is expected to be reduced by 40%.

[0105] Bending stiffness is improved

[0106] The "I-beam effect" of U-fold enhances the cross-sectional moment of inertia:

[0107]

[0108] Where:

[0109] I total : Total moment of inertia of U-shaped section about its neutral axis (strong axis).

[0110] I web : Moment of inertia of the web (i.e. "flat plate" in user formula) about its own centroidal axis (due to symmetry, the web centroidal axis coincides with the overall neutral axis).

[0111] A f : Cross-sectional area of one flange (i.e. (A) in user formula).(d c ): Vertical distance from the section neutral axis to the centroid of one flange (i.e. (d) in user formula).

[0112] Edge failure suppression

[0113] Ordinary backplate is prone to micro-cracks (SEM observation) due to edge stress during assembly, while the mechanical wrapping of U-fold provides continuous support boundary, eliminating edge free deformation.

[0114] Test data expected comparison

[0115] Comparison table of carbon fiber backplate performance parameters

[0117] Conclusion demonstration

[0118] U-fold structure realizes stress advantage through triple mechanical optimization:

[0119] 1. Load path reconstruction converts planar stress to three-dimensional frame bearing

[0120] 2. Edge constraint strengthening suppresses micro-crack initiation

[0121] 3. Failure mode upgrade from brittle fracture to progressive delamination.

[0122] In summary, the present application significantly improves the ultra-thin and ultra-light performance of the backlight source through innovative structural design. Specifically, the carbon fiber backboard adopts an L-shaped U-folded lamination method, combined with its short end plug-in design, which not only greatly reduces the overall weight, but also enhances the structural strength through the U-folded edge angle, effectively resisting external force impact and improving product durability. The thickness of the ultra-thin light guide plate is controlled within the range of 0.25-0.5mm, and the One film membrane is integrated with multiple optical film layers (such as brightness enhancement film, diffusion film, etc.), simplifying the traditional multi-layer film stacking, while ensuring optical uniformity and high brightness, further reducing the module thickness.

[0123] The reflective sheet of the present application is selected from white or silver materials, which optimizes the light reflection efficiency and reduces light loss; the LED light bar adopts 3004 / 2604 / 2605 / 3006 high-efficiency chip models to achieve low-power and high-brightness lighting effects. In addition, the flexible configuration provided by the optional design of the rubber frame can further reduce weight and cost in the no-rubber frame mode, while the full backboard or large hollow backboard structure adapts to different application scenarios. The overall scheme greatly reduces material costs and assembly complexity, improves production yield, and meets the urgent needs of the market for light and thin display devices.
