[0035] Therefore, the display device in this invention may include a display device in the narrow sense, such as a display module, as well as an assembly, which is an application product or end consumer device including a display module.

[0036] Reference will now be made in detail to some examples and preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a rear view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a side view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display device 100 of this disclosure includes a display module 110, a kit frame 120, and a CPCB (control printed circuit board) 140. The display module 110 is coupled to the kit frame 120. The CPCB 140 electrically connects the display module 110 to an external electronic product kit (i.e., an external system). The kit frame 120 may be a side frame of the electronic product kit (i.e., an external system). The electronic product kit may include at least one of a variety of electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptop computers, digital broadcast terminals, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable multimedia players (PMPs), navigation devices, slate PCs, tablet PCs, ultrabooks, wearable devices such as smartwatches, smart glasses, or head-mounted displays (HMDs).

[0039] The display module 110 includes a display panel for displaying images, an SPCB (source printed circuit board) 130 disposed on the rear surface of the display panel, and a flexible circuit film 132 connecting the SPCB 130 to the display panel.

[0040] The display panel can be one of the following: liquid crystal panel, organic light-emitting display panel, mini-LED display panel, electrophoretic display panel, and micro-LED display panel, but is not limited to these.

[0041] The SPCB 130 is electrically connected to the display panel via a flexible circuit film 132 to provide various signals to the display panel. Signal lines, circuit elements, and memory elements can be mounted on the SPCB 130. For example, circuit elements (such as an image processing unit, a timing control unit, or a power supply unit) can be mounted on the SPCB 130.

[0042] The image processing unit outputs image data provided by an external system and drive signals for driving various devices. For example, drive signals from the image processing unit may include data enable signals, vertical synchronization signals, horizontal synchronization signals, and clock signals.

[0043] The timing control unit receives image data and drive signals from the image processing unit. Based on the drive signals from the image processing unit, the timing control unit generates and outputs gate timing control signals (GDC) and data timing control signals (DDC). The power supply unit outputs high-level voltage (VDD) and low-level voltage (VSS) to the display panel.

[0044] The SPCB 130 is connected to the display panel via flexible circuit films 132. The flexible circuit films 132 are arranged at predetermined intervals. One end of the flexible circuit film 132 is attached to the pad area of ​​the display panel, and the other end of the flexible circuit film 132 is disposed on the SPCB 130.

[0045] Various signal lines are formed on the flexible circuit film 132 to electrically connect the display panel and the SPCB 130. Therefore, signals generated by the circuit elements mounted on the SPCB 130 are applied to the display panel. Data driving elements are mounted on the SPCB 130 to output data voltage to the display panel in response to a data timing control signal (DDC) from the timing control unit.

[0046] The flexible circuit film 132 can be a tape-on-a-film (TCP) or a chip-on-film (CF), but is not limited to these.

[0047] CPCB 140 is electrically connected to an external system and SPCB 130 to provide image data from the external system to SPCB 130. Although not shown, connectors are formed at both ends of CPCB 140. The connector at one end of CPCB 140 connects to the connector at SPCB 130, and the connector at the other end of CPCB 140 connects to the connector at the external system.

[0048] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for assembling a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, a display module is provided or formed (step S1). In step S1, one end of the flexible circuit film 132 is attached to the pad area of ​​the display panel, and the SPCB 130 is attached to the other end of the flexible circuit film 132. The SPCB 130 is bent toward the rear side of the display panel to provide the display module.

[0050] The display panel may include various components on a substrate, such as thin-film transistors (TFTs), various electrodes, and display elements. The display elements may include, but are not limited to, liquid crystal display elements, organic electroluminescent display elements, electrophoretic display elements, mini-LED display elements, and micro-LED display elements.

[0051] Next, the CPCB 140 is attached to the rear side of the display module 110 (step S2). As described below, the CPCB 140 is attached to the rear side of the display module 110 via a fixing member 150 on the rear surface of the display module.

[0052] The display module 110 with CPCB 140 attached is provided to the next process (step S3). For example, the display module 110 with CPCB 140 attached is provided to a kit company.

[0053] Next, the display module 110 is integrated into the set frame 120 of the set (step S4).

[0054] Next, electrically connect CPCB 140 and SPCB 130 (step S5). Electrically connect CPCB 140 and the kit and assemble them (step S6). Steps S5 and S6 can be performed simultaneously. Alternatively, step S6 can be performed before step S5.

[0055] As described below, in the display device 100 of this disclosure, after the CPCB 140 is fixed to the display module 110, the CPCB 140 can be electrically connected to the assembly.

[0056] When the CPCB 140 is secured to the display module 110 using double-sided tape, the CPCB 140 secured by the double-sided tape can be separated from the display module 110 and can be combined with the sleeve frame 120 and the display module 110. Then, the CPCB 140 can be reassembled into the display module 110 and electrically connected to the sleeve.

[0057] However, in the display device 100 of this disclosure, the fixing member 150 is disposed on the display module 110 to fix the CPCB 140 to the display module 110. In particular, the display device 100 can be manufactured quickly by combining the sleeve frame 120 and the display module 110 without separating the CPCB 140 from the display module 110.

[0058] Refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2 A window WIN (e.g., an opening) is formed in the sleeve frame 120 coupled to the display module 110, such that a portion of the rear surface of the display module 110 is exposed to the outside through the window WIN. In this case, the horizontal length L1 of the window WIN can be greater than the horizontal length L3 of the CPCB 140. The vertical length L2 of the window WIN can be greater than the thickness of the CPCB 140. As a result, the CPCB 140 can pass through the window WIN. The vertical length L2 of the window WIN can be less than the vertical length L4 of the CPCB 140.

[0059] In the display device 100, one end of the CPCB 140 is coupled to a fixing member 150 exposed through the window WIN, and a sleeve frame 120 is disposed between a portion of the rear surface of the display module 100 and the other end of the CPCB 140.

[0060] At least two fixing members 150 are disposed on the rear surface of the display module 110 exposed through the window WIN. A portion of the CPCB 140 is fixed by the fixing members 150 to the display module 110 exposed to the outside through the window WIN of the sleeve frame 120, but the remainder of the CPCB 140 is disposed on the outside of the sleeve frame 120.

[0061] In the display device 100 of this disclosure, since the CPCB 140 is rotatably fixed to the fixing member 150, the display module 110 and the sleeve frame 120 can be combined without separating the CPCB 140 from the display module 110. This will be described in detail below.

[0062] Figure 4 This is a perspective view of a fixing member of a control printed circuit board of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5A The first fixing member of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown as a detached fixing member. Figure 5B A second fixing member is shown as a fixing member of a display device detached according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] like Figure 4 , Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, the fixing member 150 of the display device 100 of this disclosure includes a first fixing member 151 and a second fixing member 154. The first fixing member 151 and the second fixing member 154 are coupled to each other to fix the CPCB 140 to the display module 110.

[0064] CPCB 140 is fixed to the first fixing member 151, and the second fixing member 154 is fixed to the rear surface of the display module 110.

[0065] The first fixing member 151 includes a support member 152 supporting the CPCB 140, an extension member 153a extending downward from the support member 152, and a rotating member 153 disposed at the end of the extension member 153a. In other words, the extension member 153a extends from the support member 152 perpendicular to the surface of the support member 152. The width W1 of the extension member 153a is smaller than the width W2 of the rotating member 153.

[0066] The second fixing member 154 includes a base 155 facing the rear surface of the display module 110, two side members 156 (e.g., a first side member and a second side member) extending upward from both sides of the base 155, an opening 157 in each of the two side members 156, and a stop 158 extending upward from one end of the base 155. That is, the two side members 156 extend upward from the first and second sides of the base 155 opposite to each other, and the stop 158 extends upward from a third side of the base 155 connecting the first and second sides.

[0067] The support member 152 of the first fixing member 151 is configured with a flat surface and supports one side of the CPCB 140 when the CPCB 140 is fixed to the display module 110. In this case, the first adhesive member 172 is disposed on the upper surface of the support member 152. The CPCB 140 can be attached to the support member 152 via the first adhesive member 172. The first adhesive member 172 can be double-sided tape, but is not limited thereto.

[0068] A rotating member 153 is disposed at one end of the extension member 153a and inserted into the opening 157 of the second fixing member 154. The rotating member 153 may have a cylindrical shape. The rotating member 153 is disposed along the horizontal direction of the support member 152 and inserted into the two openings 157 of the second fixing member 154. In this case, the diameter of the opening 157 is larger than the diameter of the rotating member 153, so that the rotating member 153 is rotatably inserted into the opening 157.

[0069] exist Figure 4 and Figure 5A In this disclosure, the rotating member 153 has a cylindrical shape with a circular cross-section, but is not limited to this. In one aspect of this disclosure, the rotating member 153 may have other shapes, such as elliptical.

[0070] The base 155 supports a side member 156 having an opening 157 and is attached to the rear surface of the display module 110. In this case, a second adhesive member 174 is disposed on the outside of the base 155. The second adhesive member 174 is disposed between the base 155 and the display module 110 to attach the fixing member 150 to the rear surface of the display module 110. For example, the second adhesive member 174 may be double-sided tape, but is not limited thereto.

[0071] In this disclosure, the first fixing member 151 rotates due to the provision of the rotating member 153. Furthermore, when the first fixing member 151 rotates, the CPCB 140 fixed to the first fixing member 151 also rotates. The rotating member 153 can rotate 90 degrees clockwise. When the rotating member 153 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, the CPCB 140 fixed to the first fixing member 151 can be arranged perpendicular to the rear surface of the display module 110.

[0072] The stop 158 is formed by protruding a predetermined height from the end of the base 155. One end of the stop 158 protrudes toward the first fixing member 151. As described below, the stop 158 stops the rotation of the first fixing member 151 and contacts the front surface of the CPCB 140, which rotates with the first fixing member 151, for example, the surface opposite to the surface of the support member 152 attached to the first fixing member 151. The distance between the side member 156 and the stop 158 is equal to or greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the support member 152 and the CPCB 140.

[0073] The end of the stop 158 may be perpendicular to the base 155, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the stop 158 is perpendicular to the base 155, the CPCB 140 is disposed perpendicular to the display module 110 when the first fixing member 151 rotates and is stopped by the stop 158. In embodiments of this disclosure, when the stop 158 is arranged at an acute angle to the base 155, the CPCB 140 may be arranged at an acute angle to the display module 110. In embodiments of this disclosure, when the stop 158 is arranged at an obtuse angle to the base 155, the CPCB 140 may be arranged at an obtuse angle to the display module 110.

[0074] The support member 152 and the base 155 face each other. The first surface of the support member 152 and the first surface of the base 155 face each other. A first adhesive member 172 is disposed on a second surface of the support member 152 opposite to the first surface of the support member 152, and a second adhesive member 174 is disposed on a second surface of the base 155 opposite to the first surface of the base 155.

[0075] An extension member 153a protrudes (or extends) from the first surface of the support member 152, and two side members 156 (e.g., two sidewalls) protrude (or extend) from the first surface of the base 155. That is, the extension member 153a protrudes from the support member 152 toward the base 155, and the two side members 156 protrude from the base 155 toward the support member 152. The extension member 153a, the rotating member 153, and the two side members 156 are disposed between the support member 152 and the base 155.

[0076] An opening 157 facing the base 155 is formed on a portion of the top surface of each of the two side members 156. A support member 152 is connected to one end of an extension member 153a, and a rotating member 153 is connected to the other end of the extension member 153a. The length of the extension member 153a is equal to or less than the distance between the two side members 156. Both ends of the rotating member 153 can be inserted into the opening 157 of each of the two side members 156, such that the extension member 153a is positioned between the two side members 156. Therefore, the support member 152 can be rotated toward the base 155 or the stop 158 using the rotating member 153 as the axis of rotation. The distance between each of the two side members 156 and the stop 158 can be equal to or greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the support member 152 and the CPCB 140. The distance between the two side members 156 can be equal to or less than the width (e.g., horizontal length) of the support member 152. As a result, when the support member 152 is vertically positioned relative to the base 155, the support member 152 can be supported by the side member 156. One side of the support member 152 may include a groove 152a. The width of the groove 152a may be equal to or greater than the width of the end 155a of the base 155. As a result, the end 155a of the base 155 can be inserted into the groove 152a on one side of the support member 152. In other words, when the support member 152 is vertically positioned relative to the base 155, the neck of the stop 158 and the groove 152a of the support member 152 can be coupled.

[0077] Figure 6 The illustration shows a disassembled fixing member of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein a first fixing member is coupled to a second fixing member and rotates.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the rotating member 153 of the first fixing member 151 is inserted into the opening 157 of the second fixing member 154, thereby coupling the first fixing member 151 and the second fixing member 154. In this case, the rear surface of the CPCB 140 is attached to the support member 152 of the first fixing member 151, and the base 155 of the second fixing member 154 is attached to the display module 110.

[0079] Since the diameter of the opening 157 is larger than the diameter of the rotating member 153, the rotating member 153 can rotate freely when it is inserted into the opening 157. As the rotating member 153 rotates clockwise, the support member 152 connected to the rotating member 153 via the extension member 153a also rotates, such that the support member 152 is arranged perpendicular to the base 155.

[0080] In the display device 100 of this disclosure, since the CPCB 140 is fixed to the display module 110 by a fixing member 150 including a rotatable first fixing member 151, the display device 100 can be coupled to the sleeve frame 120 without separating the CPCB 140.

[0081] The method of coupling the display device 100 to the socket frame 120 is described in more detail below.

[0082] Figures 7A to 7F A method for manufacturing a display device according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0083] like Figure 7A As shown, at least two fixing members 150 are attached to the rear surface of the display module 110. In this case, a plurality of flexible circuit films 132 are arranged on one side of the rear surface of the display module 110, and an SPCB 130 is arranged on the rear surface of the display module 110. The SPCB 130 may be configured to be adjacent to the flexible circuit films 132. One end of the flexible circuit film 132 is attached to the pad area of ​​the display module 110, and the other end of the flexible circuit film 132 is attached to the SPCB 130.

[0084] While the first fixing member 151 and the second fixing member 154 are engaged, the base 155 of the second fixing member 154 is attached to the rear surface of the display module 110 via the second adhesive member 174. As a result, the fixing member 150 is attached to the rear surface of the display module 110.

[0085] Next, as Figure 7B As shown, CPCB 140 is attached to fixing member 150. In this case, CPCB 140 is attached to the support member 152 of the first fixing member 151 via the first adhesive member 172.

[0086] Next, as Figure 7C As shown, the first fixing member 151 rotates clockwise so that the CPCB 140 is set perpendicular to the display module 110.

[0087] In this configuration, CPCB 140 and SPCB 130 are electrically connected to each other via a connecting cable 180. One end of the connecting cable 180 is inserted into connector 182 of SPCB 130, and the other end is inserted into connector (not shown) of CPCB 140. As a result, CPCB 140 and SPCB 130 are electrically connected to each other.

[0088] refer to Figure 8 When the first fixing member 151 rotates clockwise, the front surface of the CPCB 140 attached to the first fixing member 151 contacts the stop member 158. As a result, the rotation of the first fixing member 151 stops at 90 degrees, and the CPCB 140 is positioned perpendicular to the display module 110.

[0089] Next, as Figure 7D and Figure 7E As shown, with the CPCB 140 vertically positioned on the display module 110, the sleeve frame 120 is attached to the rear surface of the display module 110 via a first coupling member. The first coupling member can be a screw or double-sided tape, but is not limited to these. When the sleeve frame 120 is attached to the rear surface of the display module 110, the vertically positioned CPCB 140 passes through the window WIN in the sleeve frame 120.

[0090] Next, as Figure 7F As shown, the first fixing member 151 rotates counterclockwise so that the CPCB 140 faces the sleeve frame 120 coupled to the rear surface of the display module 110. Then, the CPCB 140 is fixed by a second coupling member. The second coupling member can be a screw, but is not limited to it.

[0091] As described above, in the display device of this disclosure, the CPCB 140 is secured by a rotatable fixing member 150 attached to the rear surface of the display module 110, allowing the sleeve frame 120 to be assembled to the rear surface of the display module 110 without separating the CPCB 140. Therefore, the assembly time of the display device can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, since no additional fixing members, such as double-sided tape, are required to secure the CPCB to the display module, unnecessary costs are reduced, and contamination due to discarded double-sided tape is prevented.

[0092] Figure 9 The structure of a display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 The description of the same structure as the display device 100 shown in the embodiment is omitted or simplified. The following description focuses on different structures.

[0093] like Figure 9As shown, in the display device 200, multiple heat dissipation components 290 are arranged on the rear surface of the CPCB 240. The rear surface of the CPCB 240 is the surface facing the rear surface of the display module 210. Figure 9 Two heat dissipation components 290 are shown arranged side by side near the fixed component 250, but are not limited thereto.

[0094] One side of the heat dissipation component 290 is attached to the rear surface of the display module 210, and the other side is attached to the CPCB 240. Heat generated from the CPCB 240 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation component 290 to the outer frame of the display module 210, and heat from the outer frame of the display module 210 can be dissipated to the outside. The heat dissipation component 290 can be attached to the display module 210 and the CPCB 240 via a thermally conductive adhesive component. The thermally conductive adhesive component can be thermally conductive double-sided tape, but is not limited to this.

[0095] Additionally, the heat dissipation component 290 may have a curved shape, such as a Г shape, to facilitate thermal contact between the heat dissipation component 290 and the display module 210. However, the shape of the heat dissipation component 290 is not limited to this. The heat dissipation component 290 can be formed in any shape as long as it can make sufficient contact with the display module 210. The heat dissipation component 290 may be formed of a metal with sufficient thermal conductivity. For example, the heat dissipation component 290 may be formed of aluminum (Al), but is not limited to this.

[0096] Additionally, the heat sink 290 can also serve as another fixing component to secure the CPCB 240 to the display module 210. (See reference) Figure 7E When assembling the kit frame 120 with the CPCB 140 positioned perpendicular to the display module 110, the CPCB 140 should pass through the window WIN of the kit frame 120. If the CPCB 140 is not securely fixed and is not aligned, the CPCB 140 cannot pass through the window WIN of the kit frame 120. As a result, it may be impossible to assemble the kit frame 120 with the display device 100.

[0097] CPCB 140 is fixed to display module 110 by fixing member 150, but CPCB 140 may become warped (or twisted) due to external force.

[0098] However, in the display device 200 of this disclosure, the CPCB 240 is also attached to the display module 210 via a heat dissipation member 290 serving as a fixing member, thereby preventing warping of the CPCB 240. Therefore, the assembly of the display device 200 can be further ensured.

[0099] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments of this disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of this disclosure. Therefore, modifications and variations of this disclosure are intended to cover any such modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
