Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of liquid crystal display, in particular to a connection structure of an electrostatic ring and an alignment mark for preventing being hit. Background Art

[0002] Liquid crystal display screens are mainly composed of LCD (i.e. display) and FPC. Conventional FPC designs only have one set of ground wires. When static electricity is discharged instantly, a large voltage is generated. If static electricity is generated near a flexible circuit board, it is very likely to damage the electrical components on the flexible circuit board, causing the entire flexible circuit board to be scrapped.

[0003] To address this problem, there is a patent document with application number CN201820809102.1, which discloses a touch screen and a flexible circuit board that resists ESD interference, including an IC module, the IC module having a first grounding wire, and also including a second ring-shaped grounding wire of the flexible circuit board, the second grounding wire surrounds the outer ring of the flexible circuit board, and the first grounding wire is located in the area surrounded by the second grounding wire, so that the interference of electrostatic discharge can be avoided, thereby preventing the IC module from being burned. That is, the above-mentioned prior art mainly avoids the interference of electrostatic discharge through the second grounding wire.

[0004] In the prior art, in order to enhance the anti-static ability of the display screen, an electrostatic ring is usually designed around the LCD (the main function is the same as the second grounding wire in the above-mentioned patent document). After the electrostatic ring is set, it will be connected to the T-shaped alignment marks on both sides of the FPC, and connected to the GND of the terminal device through the FPC. When the display screen is affected by static electricity, it will be guided to the ground through the electrostatic ring, thereby protecting the display screen.

[0005] However, there are still some limitations in actual operation, because the smaller the contact point between the glass and the FPC (flexible printed circuit), the greater the resistance (this is because the contact area between the display glass and the FPC is mostly at the point where the FPC and the display glass are aligned, see Figure 1 , the range of this alignment point is small), so static electricity is easily released at the contact point between the glass and FPC, causing static electricity to damage the glass.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The connection structure is connected to the display and can guide the static electricity generated on the display. The connection structure includes:

[0044] The electrostatic ring 1 is arranged on the display, and has a fitting position, and an extension section 1 is arranged on the fitting position;

[0046] When the laminating position on the electrostatic ring 1 overlaps with the alignment mark, the extension section 1 overlaps with the extension section 2 to increase the contact area between the laminating position and the alignment mark.

[0047] The utility model can increase the overlap area of ​​the alignment mark and the electrostatic ring 1 by cooperating with the expansion section 1 and the expansion section 2, so that the contact area is increased and the resistance is lower (mainly compared with the overlap range in the prior art, and the overlap range in the prior art can be referred to in the appendix of the specification). Figure 1 , 3 and 4) to prevent static electricity from damaging the ITO on the glass due to impedance mutation when the bonding position and the alignment mark overlap. Specifically, the bonding position on the electrostatic ring 1 is directly guided to overlap with the alignment mark. At this time, the extension segment 1 overlaps with the extension segment 2 to increase the contact area between the bonding position and the alignment mark.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the alignment mark and the second extension section are integrally formed or fixed by welding, preferably integrally formed.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, after the alignment mark and the extension section 2 are formed, the length of the formed structure 1 3 is greater than the width of the flexible circuit board 2. This is set so that the structure 1 3 can fully cooperate with the fitting position of the electrostatic ring 1 to prevent the phenomenon that the structure 1 3 cannot completely overlap with the fitting position of the electrostatic ring 1.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The connection structure between the electrostatic ring and the alignment mark for preventing injury provided in Example 1 is further optimized. The connection structure is connected to the display and can guide the static electricity generated on the display (in the present utility model, the static electricity guiding method can refer to the prior art and will not be described in detail here). The connection structure includes:

[0052] The electrostatic ring 1 is arranged on the display, and has a fitting position, and an extension section 1 is arranged on the fitting position;

[0053] An alignment mark is arranged at the end of the flexible circuit board 2, and an extension section 2 is arranged on the alignment mark;

[0054] When the laminating position on the electrostatic ring 1 overlaps with the alignment mark, the extension section 1 overlaps with the extension section 2 to increase the contact area between the laminating position and the alignment mark.

[0055] The utility model can increase the overlap area of ​​the alignment mark and the electrostatic ring 1 by cooperating with the expansion section 1 and the expansion section 2, so that the contact area is increased and the resistance is lower (mainly compared with the overlap range in the prior art, and the overlap range in the prior art can be referred to in the appendix of the specification). Figure 1 , 3 and 4) to prevent static electricity from damaging the ITO on the glass due to impedance mutation when the bonding position and the alignment mark overlap. Specifically, the bonding position on the electrostatic ring 1 is directly guided to overlap with the alignment mark. At this time, the extension segment 1 overlaps with the extension segment 2 to increase the contact area between the bonding position and the alignment mark.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the alignment mark and the second extension section are integrally formed or fixed by welding, preferably integrally formed.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, after the alignment mark and the extension section 2 are formed, the length of the formed structure 1 3 is greater than the width of the flexible circuit board 2. This is set so that the structure 1 3 can fully cooperate with the fitting position of the electrostatic ring 1 to prevent the phenomenon that the structure 1 3 cannot completely overlap with the fitting position of the electrostatic ring 1.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the fitting position and the extension segment 1 are integrally formed and the width of the structure 2 4 after forming is not less than the width of the structure 1 3 after the alignment mark and the extension segment 2 are formed. This setting is to make the width of the structure 2 4 equal to or greater than the width of the structure 1 3, so that the structure 2 4 can be fully overlapped with the structure 1 3 when overlapping, and even if there is a small offset, it will not affect the resistance.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] The connection structure between the electrostatic ring for preventing injury and the alignment mark provided in Example 1 or 2 is further optimized. In some specific embodiments, the fitting position and the extension segment 1 are integrally formed and the width of the structure 2 4 after forming is not less than the width of the structure 1 3 after the alignment mark and the extension segment 2 are formed. This arrangement is to make the width of the structure 2 4 equal to or greater than the width of the structure 1 3, so that the structure 2 4 can be fully overlapped with the structure 1 3 when overlapped, and even if there is a small offset, it will not affect the resistance.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the length of the structure 1 3 after the alignment mark and the extension section 2 are formed is not greater than the width of the lower glass 7. This is set so that the edge of the structure 1 3 can only be flush with the edge of the lower glass 7 at most, to prevent the edge of the structure 1 3 from exceeding and affecting normal use.

[0062] In some specific embodiments, the display includes an upper polarizer 5, an upper glass 6, a lower glass 7 and a lower polarizer 8. The electrostatic ring 1 is located on the surface of the lower glass 7 and is sandwiched in the surrounding edge area between the upper glass 6 and the lower glass 7. The upper polarizer 5 and the lower polarizer 8 are respectively arranged on the side surface opposite to the upper glass 6 and the lower glass 7.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 The T-shaped alignment mark on the glass is hollowed out, and the outside is connected to the electrostatic ring with metal ITO, which increases the connection area between the electrostatic ring and the alignment mark and reduces the wiring resistance.

[0064] The electrostatic ring 1 is an ITO metal trace, located on the surface of the lower glass 7, sandwiched between the upper and lower glass pieces and connected to the binding alignment mark, and connected to the GND of the terminal through the FPC. When static electricity contacts the display, it will be guided to the ground through the electrostatic ring. The alignment mark on the FPC is used to align with the alignment mark on the glass to facilitate binding of the FPC.

[0065] The problem in the prior art is that after the glass is bound to the FPC, the contact resistance between the electrostatic ring and the FPC becomes larger. When static electricity passes through, the place where the impedance becomes larger is likely to generate greater energy, that is, static electricity is easily released at the place where the impedance suddenly changes, causing the electrostatic ring to be damaged by static electricity at the place where it contacts the FPC.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, the length of the lower glass 7 is greater than that of the upper glass 6 to facilitate the FPC overlap.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, a connector 1 9 is provided on the extension segment 1, and a connector 2 10 is provided on the extension segment 2. The connector 1 9 can be connected to the connector 2 10 to guide the overlapping of the fitting position and the alignment mark.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] The connection structure between the electrostatic ring for preventing damage and the alignment mark provided in the above embodiments is further optimized, and the connecting member 9 includes a plurality of protrusions 11 arranged on the surface of the extension section 1; the connecting member 10 includes a plurality of alignment holes 12 arranged on the surface of the extension section 2, and each alignment hole 12 is respectively arranged corresponding to each protrusion 11.

[0070] Since the fitting position and the alignment mark are easily misaligned when overlapped, a first embodiment of connector 1 9 and connector 2 10 is proposed. When connector 1 9 and connector 2 10 are connected, each alignment hole 12 can be guided to be plugged into each protrusion 11 respectively. During the plugging process, the protrusion 11 enters the alignment hole 12, so that the position of the flexible circuit board 2 can be quickly calibrated and cannot move at will.

[0071] Example 5

[0072] The connection structure between the electrostatic ring for preventing injury and the alignment mark provided in the above-mentioned embodiments is further optimized, and the connector 1 9 also includes a plurality of locking strips 13 arranged on the surface of the extension section 1, and the connector 2 10 includes a plurality of locking strip grooves 14 arranged on the surface of the extension section 2, and each locking strip 13 is respectively arranged corresponding to each locking strip groove 14.

[0073] A second embodiment is provided for the connector 1 9 and the connector 2 10. The specific structure of the locking strip 13 is a cylinder with cylindrical ends and a guide strip located between the two cylinders. In this way, when docking with the locking strip groove 14, it will not be difficult to insert the locking strip 13 into the locking strip groove 14.

[0074] The use process of the connection structure of the electrostatic ring and the alignment mark provided by the utility model to prevent being hit is as follows: the utility model can increase the overlap area of ​​the alignment mark and the electrostatic ring 1 by cooperating with the expansion section 1 and the expansion section 2, so that the contact area is increased and the resistance is lower (mainly compared with the overlap range in the prior art, and the overlap range in the prior art can refer to the attached manual Figure 1 , 3 and 4) to prevent static electricity from damaging the ITO on the glass due to impedance mutation when the bonding position and the alignment mark overlap. Specifically, the bonding position on the electrostatic ring 1 is directly guided to overlap with the alignment mark. At this time, the extension segment 1 overlaps with the extension segment 2 to increase the contact area between the bonding position and the alignment mark.
