By forming the light-transmitting portion 11 on the panel 1, light is allowed to pass through, so that the user can see the display content, pattern, etc. on the inner side of the panel 1. By locating the film group 3 between the display module 2 and the light-transmitting portion 11, the film group 3 can be regulated by the light of the display module 2 to optimize the display effect.

[0041] Among them, the outer side of panel 1 refers to the side observed by the user during use, and the inner side of panel 1 refers to the side that the user cannot observe during use. In the thickness direction of panel 1, the outer side of panel 1 is opposite to the inner side of panel 1.

[0042] The film group 3 includes an optical film 31 and a functional film 32. The functional film 32 is provided with a display pattern layer 321. The functional film 32 is located between the optical film 31 and the light-transmitting portion 11. The display pattern layer 321 is arranged close to the light-transmitting portion 11, and there is no other film covering the functional film 32 provided with the display pattern layer 321 and the light-transmitting portion 11. Optionally, the optical film 31 can adjust the direction, uniformity and brightness of the light of the display module 2 to improve the display quality.

[0043] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting a film group 3 including an optical film 31 and a functional film 32, a display pattern layer 321 is provided on the functional film 32 and is located between the optical film 31 and the light-transmitting portion 11. In this way, the display pattern layer 321 is arranged close to the light-transmitting portion 11, and there is no other film covering the functional film 32 provided with the display pattern layer 321 and the light-transmitting portion 11, so that the display content is clear, which is beneficial to improving the display clarity.

[0044] refer to Figure 1-Figure 10According to some embodiments of the present invention, the display pattern layer 321 is located on the side of the functional film 32 close to the light-transmitting portion 11. By making the display pattern layer 321 located on the side of the functional film 32 close to the light-transmitting portion 11, the display pattern layer 321 can be directly displayed through the light-transmitting portion 11, which is conducive to further improving the display effect of the display pattern layer 321 and further improving the visual experience of the user.

[0045] refer to Fig.10 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the functional film 32 is fixed to the light-transmitting portion 11, which is conducive to maintaining precise alignment between the functional film 32 and the light-transmitting portion 11, avoiding other positions of the panel 1 from covering the functional film 32 and the display pattern layer 321, and fixing the functional film 32 to the light-transmitting portion 11, so that the functional film 32 can be stably located between the display module 2 and the light-transmitting portion 11 and is conducive to the tightness between the functional film 32 and the light-transmitting portion 11. For example, when the functional film 32 is operated through the light-transmitting portion 11 on the outside of the panel assembly 100 to realize the function control of the functional film 32, it is conducive to improving the stability and reliability of related operations.

[0047] refer to Fig.10 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the functional film 32 is a touch film. Optionally, a touch layer and a conductive line layer are provided on the touch film. For example, the conductive line layer is a silver paste line layer. There is a conductive connection relationship between the touch layer and the conductive line layer. The touch layer includes a plurality of sub-touch layers arranged at intervals. The plurality of sub-touch layers arranged at intervals work independently. Different sub-touch layers are connected with different contact points, so that the sub-touch layers can independently control different modules. By making the functional film 32 a touch film, the touch film can sense the touch action of the user's finger or other objects, so that the functional film 32 has touch interaction capability, so that the function triggering and control of the functional film 32 can be realized by touching the touch film.

[0048] For example, the touch film is an ITO film.

[0049] For example, when the panel assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, multiple sub-touch layers can be used to touch-control different functions of the air conditioner, such as controlling the switch, wind speed, air outlet mode or air conditioning mode of the air conditioner.
