[0023] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0024] A routing structure of the FPC bending area, refer to Figure 1, including a display module 10 and an FPC 20 bound to the display module 10, one end of the FPC 20 is bound to the display module 10, and the other end of the FPC 20 is used to be bent to the back of the display module 10 and connected to the mainboard.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 When the FPC 20 is bent, there is a bending point, and the bending point of the FPC 20 is the bending position of the FPC 20. A bending area 21 is provided on the FPC 20, and the bending area 21 is located at the bending point. The FPC 20 is bent along the bending area 21 to the back side of the display module 10.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , the FPC 20 is provided with routing, wherein the routing of the FPC 20 at the bending area 21 is the routing widening area 22, and the routing of the FPC 20 in the area outside the bending area 21 is the normal routing area 23. The width of the routing widening area 22 is greater than the width of the normal routing area 23, so that when the FPC 20 is bent along the bending area 21, the routing widening area 22 at the bending area 21 is not easily broken due to bending.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The width of the routing widening area 22 is 2-4 times the width of the normal routing area 23. By widening the width of the routing widening area 22, the width of the routing of the FPC 20 in the bending area 21 becomes larger, so that the routing is not easily damaged when bending.

[0028] Further, refer to Figure 1 The routing widening area 22 is arranged in a rectangular shape, and the shape of the routing widening area 22 is the same as that of the normal routing area 23, and only the width is different.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 A flexible board 30 is attached to the side of the FPC 20 away from the bending area 21. The flexible board 30 is used to enhance the strength of the bending area 21 so that the bending area 21 of the FPC 20 is not easily damaged when being bent. The flexible board 30 is made of a flexible material and can be bent.

[0030] Further, refer to Figure 2 The surface of the routing widening area 22 is coated with a PI reinforcement layer 40 , and the PI reinforcement layer 40 can prevent the routing widening area 22 from breaking during the bending process, thereby improving the strength of the routing widening area 22 .

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The end of the FPC 20 away from the display module 10 is an interface end 24 connected to the host. A soldering pad 241 is provided at the interface end 24. The connection between the FPC 20 and the mainboard is achieved by soldering the soldering pad 241 of the interface end 24 to the mainboard.

[0032] Reference Figure 1The wiring of the FPC20 near the interface end 24 is the interface wiring area 25. Since the interface wiring area 25 is close to the pad 241, the FPC20 will be bent during assembly after the interface end 24 is welded. Therefore, the FPC20 near the interface end 24 is prone to large bends, thereby damaging the interface wiring area 25.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The width of the interface wiring area 25 is also 2-4 times the width of the normal wiring area 23. By increasing the width of the interface wiring area 25, the wiring of the FPC 20 close to the pad 241 is prevented from being damaged due to bending during the assembly process.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The materials of the routing widening area 22, the normal routing area 23 and the interface routing area 25 are all copper.

[0035] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
