Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of display screens, and in particular to a heat dissipation FPC and a backlight module. Background Art

[0002] The LED light bar backlight FPC and the backlight iron frame are usually connected by FPC thermal adhesive to dissipate the heat generated by the LED light. However, if the thermal adhesive is not attached well, the heat cannot be dissipated in time, which may cause the NTC impedance to decrease, thereby affecting the client display effect. The client usually monitors the BLU temperature by monitoring the NTC impedance. Once the set threshold is exceeded, the module BLU will reduce the current, resulting in a decrease in the module brightness.

[0003] The prior art with publication number CN220357394U discloses a backlight structure that is easy to dissipate heat, including: a glue frame and an iron frame that are interlocked, an LED lamp for emitting light is arranged between the glue frame and the iron frame, a heat-conducting component for heat conduction and a heat-dissipating component for heat dissipation are arranged on the inner side of the iron frame facing the LED lamp, and the heat-conducting component and the heat-dissipating component are both in contact with the LED lamp. The heat-conducting component includes a first heat-conducting glue and a second heat-conducting glue, the first heat-conducting glue is located on the inner wall of the iron frame facing the LED lamp, the second heat-conducting glue is located below the LED lamp, and the second heat-conducting glue is connected to the inner bottom of the iron frame. The utility model provides a backlight structure that is easy to dissipate heat, which has good thermal conductivity by arranging the first heat-conducting glue, the second heat-conducting glue, and the first graphite film and the second graphite film, so that when the LED lamp generates heat during operation, the heat is promptly conducted to the iron frame for release, so as to avoid excessive heat accumulation of the LED lamp affecting its use.

[0004] However, due to the small size and softness of the backlight FPC, it is difficult to ensure flatness during attachment, which may result in some areas not being completely attached to the iron frame. At the same time, due to the existence of stress, the product may be at risk of degradation after a period of aging. Thermal conductive adhesives are generally made of acrylic materials. As the temperature rises, the molecular thermal motion becomes active and the viscosity decreases. The heat generated by the LED lamp beads cannot be dissipated through the backlight iron frame in time. It is necessary to improve the FPC heat dissipation adhesive and seek a better FPC heat dissipation method. Utility Model Content
