[0063] Optionally, the touch film 3 is fixed to the light-transmitting portion 11 by gluing the backing adhesive layer. By fixing the touch film 3 to the light-transmitting portion 11, it is beneficial to maintain accurate alignment between the touch film 3 and the light-transmitting portion 11, avoiding other positions of the panel 1 from covering the touch film 3, which is beneficial to improving the sensitivity of the touch function of the touch film 3. Moreover, by fixing the touch film 3 to the light-transmitting portion 11, the touch film 3 can be stably located between the display module 2 and the light-transmitting portion 11, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the touch function of the touch film 3.

[0064] The display module 2 includes a back cover 22, a circuit board 21, and a lamp body. The circuit board 21 is mounted on the back cover 22 and is located on the side of the back cover 22 facing the light-transmitting portion 11, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the circuit board 21 and the touch film 3. The lamp body is disposed on the circuit board 21 and is located on the side of the circuit board 21 close to the light-transmitting portion 11. Optionally, a fixed buckle is provided at one end along the third direction in the back cover 22, and an elastic buckle is provided at the other end. The circuit board 21 is mounted on the back cover 22 through the fixed buckle and the elastic buckle. The circuit board 21 can be used to control or adjust the lamp body, and the lamp body can provide a light source for the content displayed through the light-transmitting portion 11.

[0065] refer to Figure 11-Figure 15 , the touch film 3 is connected with a film tail tape 31, and the film tail tape 31 is provided with a connection terminal 311 electrically connected to the circuit board 21. Among them, an operation port 221 is provided on the back cover 22, and the operation port 221 is used to provide an operation space for the connection between the connection terminal 311 and the circuit board 21. In this way, during the assembly process of the panel assembly 100, it is no longer necessary to hold the display module 2 while connecting the connection terminal 311 with the circuit board 21. The display module 2 can be installed on the inner side of the panel 1 first, and then the connection terminal 311 and the circuit board 21 can be connected through the operation port 221 on the back cover 22 of the display module 2, so that the touch film 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 through the connection terminal 311 on the film tail tape 31, which improves the convenience of operation. At the same time, this can also avoid the pulling of the film tail tape 31 and the circuit board 21 after the connection is completed during the installation process of the display module 2, and avoid the unstable connection between the film tail tape 31 and the circuit board 21.

[0066] Optionally, the connection terminal 311 of the diaphragm tail band 31 is connected to the circuit board 21 by plug connection, welding connection or the like.

[0067] Optionally, the touch film 3 includes a film substrate and a touch layer, the touch layer is arranged on the side of the film substrate facing the circuit board 21, and the touch layer can receive touch electrical signals. Optionally, a printed conductive line layer, such as a silver paste line layer, is arranged on the film substrate and the film tail tape 31, and the conductive line layer is electrically connected to the connection terminal 311 so as to transmit electrical signals through the film tail tape 31.

[0068] For example, when the panel assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, the electrical signal transmission of the air conditioner may include the following path: the touch layer receives the touch electrical signal, the touch layer transmits the electrical signal to the connecting terminal 311 of the diaphragm tail band 31, the connecting terminal 311 transmits the electrical signal to the circuit board 21, and the circuit board 21 transmits the electrical signal to the control chip of the air conditioner.

[0069] For example, the assembly process of the panel assembly 100 may include the following steps:

[0070] First, fix the touch film 3 to the light-transmitting portion 11 of the panel 1; then, install the display module 2 on the inner side of the panel 1; then, connect the connection terminal 311 on the film tail tape 31 to the circuit board 21 of the display module 2 through the operation port 221 of the back cover 22 of the display module 2; thus, the assembly of the panel assembly 100 is completed.

[0071] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, an operation port 221 is provided on the back cover 22 of the display module 2. Therefore, during the assembly process of the panel assembly 100, the display module 2 can be first installed on the inner side of the panel 1, and then the connection terminal 311 and the circuit board 21 can be connected through the operation port 221 on the back cover 22 of the display module 2, so that the touch film 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 through the connection terminal 311 on the film tail band 31. There is no need to hold the display module 2 while connecting the connection terminal 311 and the circuit board 21, which improves the convenience of operation. At the same time, it can also avoid pulling the film tail band 31 and the circuit board 21 after the connection is completed during the installation of the display module 2, and avoid the unstable connection between the film tail band 31 and the circuit board 21.

[0072] In the related art, during the assembly process of the panel assembly 100, in order to facilitate the connection of the connecting terminal 311 of the film tail band 31 of the touch film 3 to the circuit board 21, and to ensure the stable connection between the connecting terminal 311 and the plug interface during the subsequent installation of the display module 2, the length of the film tail band 31 is usually made longer. These film tail bands 31 will occupy a larger placement space, so that additional space needs to be reserved on the panel assembly 100 for placing these film tail bands 31, resulting in space shortage of the panel assembly 100.

[0073] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the display module 2 can be first installed on the inner side of the panel 1, and then the connection terminal 311 and the circuit board 21 can be connected through the operation port 221 on the back cover 22 of the display module 2, so that the touch film 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 through the connection terminal 311 on the film tail band 31. In this way, when the connection terminal 311 is connected to the circuit board 21, the distance to the circuit board 21 is closer, and the length of the film tail band 31 can be shortened accordingly, which is beneficial to reduce the placement space of the film tail band 31, thereby facilitating the optimization of the spatial layout of the panel assembly 100 and saving the production cost of the film tail band 31.

[0074] refer to Figure 1-Figure 20 According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the thickness direction of the circuit board 21, at least part of the operation port 221 is located on the portion of the rear cover 22 opposite to the circuit board 21; along the thickness direction of the circuit board 21, a connection structure 211 connected to the connection terminal 311 is provided on the side of the circuit board 21 away from the light-transmitting portion 11. Optionally, the connection structure 211 may be a solder pad, an insertion port, etc.

[0075] Among them, in the thickness direction of the circuit board 21, at least part of the operating port 221 is located on the part of the back cover 22 opposite to the circuit board 21, which may include the following situations: for example, in the thickness direction of the circuit board 21, part of the operating port 221 is located on the part of the back cover 22 opposite to the circuit board 21; for another example, in the thickness direction of the circuit board 21, the entire operating port 221 is located on the part of the back cover 22 opposite to the circuit board 21.

[0076] By making at least a portion of the operating port 221 located on the portion of the rear cover 22 opposite to the circuit board 21 in the thickness direction of the circuit board 21, sufficient operating space is provided for connecting the connection terminal 311 to the circuit board 21, thereby facilitating the connection operation; by providing a connection structure 211 on the circuit board 21, the connection terminal 311 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 21 through the connection structure 211, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the connection relationship between the connection terminal 311 and the circuit board 21; by providing the connection structure 211 on the side of the circuit board 21 away from the light-transmitting portion 11 along the thickness direction of the circuit board 21, it is beneficial to reduce the distance between the connection structure 211 and the operating port 221, and to reduce the obstruction of the circuit board 21 to the connection operation, thereby further improving the convenience of the connection operation between the connection terminal 311 and the connection structure 211.

[0077] refer to Figure 21-26According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the connection structure 211 is a plug interface, and the connection terminal 311 is plugged into the plug interface. By making the connection structure 211 a plug interface and making the connection terminal 311 plug into the plug interface, this plugging method is simple to operate and does not require the aid of operating tools, and the plugging operation can be completed by hand.

[0078] refer to Figure 21-26 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the connection structure 211 is arranged adjacent to the edge of the circuit board 21. By arranging the connection structure 211 adjacent to the edge of the circuit board 21, it is convenient to connect the connection terminal 311 to the connection structure 211, which can reduce or avoid the hindrance of the connection operation caused by the remaining structures on the circuit board 21, thereby facilitating the improvement of assembly efficiency; in addition, since the connection structure 211 and the touch film 3 are respectively located on both sides of the circuit board 21 along the thickness direction thereof, by arranging the connection structure 211 adjacent to the edge of the circuit board 21, the distance between the touch film 3 and the connection structure 211 can be shortened, thereby making it easier for the connection terminal 311 to be connected to the connection structure 211, which is conducive to shortening the extension length of the film tail band 31, thereby facilitating the reduction of the production cost of the touch film 3.

[0079] refer to Figure 6-Figure 10 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the film tail band 31 includes a first tail band section 312 and a second tail band section 313, the first tail band section 312 is connected to the touch film 3 and is located at the outer peripheral side of the circuit board 21, one end of the second tail band section 313 is connected to the first tail band section 312 and the other end of the second tail band section 313 is provided with a connection terminal 311, and the second tail band section 313 is located at the side of the circuit board 21 away from the light-transmitting portion 11. Such a configuration makes the spatial layout of the film tail band 31 and the circuit board 21 reasonable. By making the first tail band section 312 of the film tail band 31 located at the outer peripheral side of the circuit board 21, the first tail band section 312 can make full use of the space on the outer peripheral side of the circuit board 21; by making the second tail band section 313 provided with the connection terminal 311 located at the side of the circuit board 21 away from the light-transmitting portion 11, the connection terminal 311 can better cooperate with the connection structure 211 on the circuit board 21, so as to realize the electrical connection between the connection terminal 311 and the connection structure 211.

[0080] For example, in the process of connecting the connecting terminal 311 to the circuit board 21, the first tail band segment 312 is first located on the outer peripheral side of the circuit board 21, and the second tail band segment 313 is located on the side of the circuit board 21 away from the light-transmitting portion 11, and then the connecting terminal 311 is plugged into the connecting structure 211 formed as a plug interface.

[0081] refer to Figure 27-Figure 31According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the back cover 22 includes a back cover body 222 and a back cover flange 223. The back cover body 222 and the circuit board 21 are arranged opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the circuit board 21. The back cover flange 223 is connected to the back cover body 222 and is located on the side of the back cover body 222 close to the light-transmitting portion 11. The circuit board 21 is located in the space defined by the back cover body 222 and the back cover flange 223. The operation port 221 is formed on the back cover body 222 and the back cover flange 223.

[0082] By making the back cover 22 include a back cover body 222 and a back cover flange 223, the back cover 22 serves as the main supporting structure of the display module 2, providing protection for the circuit board 21 and the electronic components such as the lamp body thereon, and preventing the internal components from being affected by external physical impacts, dust, moisture, etc. The back cover flange 223 surrounds the edge of the back cover body 222 and extends toward the side close to the light-transmitting portion 11, which is beneficial to enhancing the sealing performance of the back cover 22.

[0083] By forming the operating port 221 on the rear cover body 222 and the rear cover flange 223, it is convenient to connect the connecting terminal 311 and the connecting structure 211 from multiple angles, thereby further improving the operational convenience. For example, it can prevent the rear cover body 222 and the rear cover flange 223 from covering the diaphragm tail band 31, making it impossible to connect it by hand.

[0084] refer to Figure 27-Figure 31 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the operation port 221 penetrates the side wall surface of the rear cover flange 223 facing the light-transmitting portion 11. By making the operation port 221 penetrate the side wall surface of the rear cover flange 223 facing the light-transmitting portion 11, when connecting the connection terminal 311 with the circuit board 21, the operator can directly contact the connection terminal 311 through the operation port 221 without bypassing or avoiding the rear cover flange 223, which reduces the difficulty of operation and makes the connection operation more convenient.

[0085] refer to Figure 1-Figure 31 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the panel assembly 100 further includes a movable cover 4, which is disposed on the rear cover 22 and is used to open and close the operation port 221. For example, when it is necessary to connect the connection terminal 311 with the circuit board 21 through the operation port 221, the operation port 221 can be opened through the movable cover 4 for connection operation; when it is not necessary to connect the connection terminal 311 with the circuit board 21 through the operation port 221, the operation port 221 can be closed through the movable cover 4 to protect the components in the rear cover 22 and improve its sealing performance.

[0086] By setting up the movable cover 4, the movable cover 4 can close the operation port 221 when no connection operation is performed, thereby reducing or preventing pollutants such as dust and moisture from entering the internal space of the rear cover 22 where the circuit board 21 is located, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the components of the display module 2; and the movable cover 4 should be designed to be openable and closable, so as to facilitate quick access to the operation port 221 when the connection terminal 311 needs to be connected to the circuit board 21 or for maintenance, and the operation is convenient.

[0087] Optionally, the movable cover 4 may be movably disposed on the rear cover 22 , for example, the movable cover 4 may rotate relative to the rear cover 22 ; for example, the movable cover 4 may slide relative to the rear cover 22 ; for example, the movable cover 4 and the rear cover 22 may be detachably matched.
