Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of display terminal technology, and more particularly to an integrated display terminal and display device. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, the structure of a display terminal typically includes a front shell, a rear shell, and a display panel. A back plate, a middle frame, and a shielding cover are also required separately. The back plate and the middle frame support the corresponding parts of the display panel, and the shielding cover achieves EMI electromagnetic shielding. Currently, this design, which includes a back panel, a mid-frame, and a shielding cover, has the following drawbacks: the large number of components leads to high material costs and a complex supply chain; the assembly process is cumbersome, requiring the internal assembly of the display panel to be completed first, followed by the installation of the back panel, mid-frame, and shielding cover of the display terminal, and then the assembly with the front shell, rear shell, and driver board of the display terminal, resulting in low production efficiency; the superposition of the above-mentioned multiple components increases the overall thickness of the display terminal, leading to structural redundancy. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an integrated display terminal and display device, which solves the technical problem of design defects existing in the prior art.

[0004] (II) Technical Solution The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated display terminal, which includes a metal back shell, a receiving cavity inside the metal back shell, the edge of the receiving cavity being a straight flange, and a drive mounting groove being provided inside the receiving cavity. The display panel is disposed within the accommodating cavity; A driver board, wherein the driver board is disposed within the driver mounting slot; A function keypad is disposed within the accommodating cavity; A horn, the horn being fixed to both sides of the drive mounting slot; The drive mounting slot is recessed from the bottom of the accommodating cavity, and a through-hole group is provided at the bottom of the drive mounting slot. The through-hole group can accommodate at least two different types of external plugs, including HDMI plugs, USB plugs, and DP plugs. The through-hole group is arranged corresponding to the interface end of the driver board.

[0005] Preferably, the metal back shell is a one-piece molded structure, and its material is one of steel, aluminum, or aluminum alloy.

[0006] Preferably, the display panel is either an LCD panel or an OLED panel.

[0007] Preferably, the driver board is fixed to the drive mounting groove of the metal back shell by screws or hot melt adhesive, and is located below the display panel. The driver board and the display panel are connected by a ribbon cable of LVDS, eDP or V-By-One.

[0008] Preferably, the edge of the display panel is bonded and fixed to the inner side of the straight flange of the metal back shell by foam adhesive.

[0009] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a display device, which is one of a television set, a control screen, a monitor, an all-in-one computer, a vehicle display screen, a medical display screen, or a portable display terminal.

[0010] (III) Beneficial Effects By adopting an integrated metal back shell, the display panel, driver board, function keypad, and speaker are directly housed within the cavity, eliminating the need for separate back plates, mid-frames, and shielding covers found in traditional structures. This significantly reduces the variety of materials and supply chain costs, while simplifying the assembly process by eliminating the need for pre-assembling multiple layers of the display panel internally, thus greatly improving production efficiency. Due to the removal of redundant structures, the metal back shell combines structural support with electromagnetic shielding, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the display terminal and achieving a slim and lightweight design. Furthermore, the through-hole socket group at the bottom of the driver mounting slot can accommodate various external plugs such as HDMI, USB, and DP, corresponding to the interface end of the driver board, enhancing external connectivity convenience. The unibody metal back shell and straight-edged design also ensure good structural strength and heat dissipation performance. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Example 1 The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 3 To further describe, the present invention discloses an integrated display terminal, which includes a metal back shell 1. The interior of the metal back shell 1 forms a receiving cavity 10 for accommodating various functional components. The edge of the receiving cavity 10 is provided with a 90° straight flange 11, which limits and fixes the display panel 2. Structurally, the support of the metal back shell 1 replaces the function of the back plate, and the structure of the middle frame is omitted. A drive mounting groove 12 is recessed inward at the bottom of the receiving cavity 10. The drive mounting groove 12 is a sunken mounting space to facilitate separation from the mounting area of ​​the display panel 2 in the receiving cavity 10. The driver board 3 is fixed in the driver mounting slot 12 of the metal back shell 1 by screw fastening or hot melt adhesive application, and is electrically connected to the display panel 2. The function keypad 4 is integrated into the accommodating cavity 10 and is located in the side area of ​​the display panel 2. It is electrically connected to the driver board 3 and is used to realize the power switch, signal switching, brightness adjustment and other functions of the display terminal.

[0016] The speakers 5 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the drive mounting slot 12 and electrically connected to the drive board 3 to realize the audio output function. This layout can make full use of the idle space of the accommodating cavity 10, improve the structural integration, and optimize the stereo effect of the audio.

[0017] The drive mounting slot 12 is recessed inward from the bottom of the accommodating cavity, forming a sunken enclosure structure. Utilizing the conductive properties of the metal shell, it also serves as a shield for the drive board 3, effectively isolating electromagnetic interference to a certain extent. Furthermore, the bottom of the drive mounting slot 12 is provided with a through-hole assembly 120, which contains multiple sockets of different specifications, capable of accommodating at least two different types of external plugs, specifically including at least two of the following: HDMI plugs, USB plugs, and DP plugs. The positions of the through-hole assembly 120 correspond one-to-one with the interface end of the subsequently assembled drive board 3, ensuring that the external plug can directly pass through the socket and be plugged into the interface of the drive board 3 without the need for an additional adapter structure.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the metal back cover 1 is integrally stamped using a metal material, and the material used is one of steel, aluminum, or aluminum alloy.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the driver board 3 is located below the display panel, and the driver board 3 and the display panel are electrically connected by a flexible ribbon cable. The transmission interface of the flexible ribbon cable is one of LVDS, eDP, or V-By-One interfaces to realize the transmission of display signals. At the same time, the interface end of the driver board 3 is arranged corresponding to the through-hole group 120 at the bottom of the driver mounting slot 12 to ensure that external plugs such as HDMI, USB, and DP can be directly inserted into the driver board 3 through the hole to complete signal input and power supply.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the edge of the display panel is bonded and fixed to the inner side of the straight flange 11 of the metal back shell 1 by foam adhesive. The foam adhesive has the functions of buffering, sealing and fixing, which can avoid stress damage caused by hard contact between the display panel and the metal back shell 1, and at the same time improve the seismic performance of the structure.

[0022] Example 2 The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 4 to 6 To further describe, the present invention discloses an integrated display terminal, which includes a metal back shell 1. The interior of the metal back shell 1 forms a receiving cavity 10 for accommodating various functional components. The edge of the receiving cavity 10 is provided with a 90° straight flange 11, which limits and fixes the display panel 2. Structurally, the metal back shell 1 replaces the function of the back plate, and the structure of the middle frame is omitted. A drive mounting groove 12 is recessed inward at the bottom of the receiving cavity 10. The drive mounting groove 12 is a sunken mounting space to facilitate separation from the mounting area of ​​the display panel 2 in the receiving cavity 10. The driver board 3 is fixed in the driver mounting slot 12 of the metal back shell 1 by screw fastening or hot melt adhesive application, and is electrically connected to the display panel 2. The function keypad 4 is integrated into the accommodating cavity 10 and is located in the side area of ​​the display panel 2.

[0023] The speakers 5 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the drive mounting slot 12 and electrically connected to the drive board 3 to realize the audio output function. This layout can make full use of the idle space of the accommodating cavity 10, improve the structural integration, and optimize the stereo effect of the audio.

[0024] The drive mounting slot 12 is recessed inward from the bottom of the accommodating cavity, forming a sunken enclosure structure. Utilizing the conductive properties of the metal shell, it also serves as a shield for the drive board 3, effectively isolating electromagnetic interference to a certain extent. Furthermore, the bottom of the drive mounting slot 12 is provided with a through-hole assembly 120, which contains multiple sockets of different specifications, capable of accommodating at least two different types of external plugs, specifically including at least two of the following: HDMI plugs, USB plugs, and DP plugs. The positions of the through-hole assembly 120 correspond one-to-one with the interface end of the subsequently assembled drive board 3, ensuring that the external plug can directly pass through the socket and be plugged into the interface of the drive board 3 without the need for an additional adapter structure.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the metal back cover 1 is integrally stamped using a metal material, and the material used is one of steel, aluminum, or aluminum alloy.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the driver board 3 is fixed to the bottom of the drive mounting groove 12 by at least one of two fixing methods: screw fastening or hot melt adhesive application. This allows the driver board 3 to be located below the display panel 2 and to avoid the display area in the horizontal direction. It is located below the non-display area of ​​the accommodating cavity, which neither obstructs the display light path nor fails to effectively utilize the space of the accommodating cavity 10. The driver board 3 and the display panel 2 are electrically connected by a flexible ribbon cable. The transmission interface of the flexible ribbon cable is one of LVDS, eDP, or V-By-One interfaces, used to transmit display signals and control signals.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the edge of the display panel 2 is bonded and fixed to the inner side of the straight flange 11 of the metal back shell 1 by foam adhesive. The foam adhesive has the functions of buffering, sealing and fixing, which can avoid stress damage caused by hard contact between the display panel and the metal back shell 1, and at the same time improve the seismic performance of the structure.

[0029] In addition, through the above two embodiments, this application provides a display device having one of the above two types of panels, which is one of a television, control screen, monitor, all-in-one computer, vehicle display screen, medical display screen or portable display terminal.

[0030] In summary, by adopting an integrated metal back shell, the display panel, driver board, function button board, and speaker are directly housed within the cavity, eliminating the need for separate back plates, mid-frames, and shielding covers found in traditional structures. This significantly reduces the variety of materials and supply chain costs, while simplifying the assembly process by eliminating the need for pre-assembling multiple layers of the display panel internally, thus greatly improving production efficiency. Because redundant structures are removed, the metal back shell combines structural support with electromagnetic shielding, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the display terminal and achieving a slim and lightweight design. Furthermore, the through-hole socket group at the bottom of the driver mounting slot can accommodate various external plugs such as HDMI, USB, and DP, corresponding to the interface end of the driver board, enhancing external connectivity convenience. The unibody metal back shell and straight-edged design also ensure good structural strength and heat dissipation performance.
