Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid crystal display modules, in particular to a display module structure for preventing terminals from being pressed and broken. Background Art

[0002] The main components of the display module are the backlight and the display. The usual display part includes an upper polarizer, LCD, a lower polarizer, IC, FPC, CG or TP. The backlight includes an integrated iron-glue frame, a reflector, a light guide plate, film materials (upper light-enhancing film, lower light-enhancing film, diffusion film), and black double-sided shading adhesive. The assembly process of the display film group can be briefly described as follows: first assemble the upper polarizer, LCD, lower polarizer, IC and FPC into FOG, then assemble the integrated iron-glue frame, reflector, light guide plate, film materials, and black double-sided shading adhesive into the backlight, then assemble the CG, touch sensor, touch IC, and touch FPC into TP, and then assemble the FOG and CG / TP together with the backlight.

[0003] LCD is a display box composed of two glass circuit boards, CF and TFT. IC and FPC need to be bound to the LCD and connected to the circuit inside the LCD screen to drive the LCD display. Therefore, an extra area is needed outside the LCD box to connect the IC and FPC. This single-layer area is called the LCD terminal in the industry. With the development of technology, the thickness of display screens is getting thinner and thinner. The thinnest single-layer LCD glass currently used in mobile phones is 0.1mm. Due to the fragile nature of glass and the single-layer structure of the terminal area, when FOG and CG / TP are bonded, the corresponding terminal area is in a suspended state. In this way, if mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products are dropped or pressed hard during use, the terminal may break, resulting in irreparable display abnormalities due to broken display circuits.

[0029] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A display module structure for preventing terminals from being pressed and broken, comprising a display unit and a backlight unit, wherein the display unit comprises an LCD 6, an upper polarizer 2, a lower polarizer 7, an FPC 9 and a driving chip 10;

[0031] The upper polarizer 2 is mounted on the LCD 6, and the cover plate 1 is mounted on the upper polarizer 2;

[0032] The lower polarizer 7 is mounted on the backlight, and the LCD 6 is mounted on the lower polarizer 7;

[0033] A terminal area 8 is formed between one end of the LCD 6 and one end of the cover plate 1;

[0034] The FPC 9 is installed in the terminal area 8 .

[0035] When the LCD 6 is subjected to external force, its periphery is easily deformed and damaged toward the cover plate 1 or the backlight part, thereby causing damage to the LCD 6. The working principle of the utility model is to provide support around the LCD 6 to provide a buffering effect when it is subjected to force, thereby avoiding damage to the LCD 6 caused by deformation and damage around the LCD 6.

[0036] Specifically, the terminal area 8 is provided with an elastic pad 11 for preventing the LCD 6 from deforming; the pad 11 is elastic, and when the LCD 6 is subjected to an external force, the pad 11 will be pressed between the cover plate 1 and the LCD 6 and compressed and deformed, providing a buffering effect for the LCD 6. In this embodiment, the pad 11 is an elastic foam.

[0037] Specifically, the cushion block 11 has an inner cavity 12, and the inner cavity 12 is connected to the outside of the cushion block 11 through a channel 13. Since the cushion block 11 is made of foam and has elasticity, in order to cooperate with the compression of the foam when under pressure, thereby providing a buffering effect for the LCD 6, the inner cavity 12 is reserved, so that when squeezed, the inner cavity 12 provides a compressed space, so that the cushion block 11 has a better buffering effect.

[0038] Since the extrusion is completed in a short time, a channel 13 is reserved in the inner cavity 12, through which the gas in the inner cavity 12 can be discharged outward during the extrusion, thereby changing the inner cavity 12. The channel 13 includes a conical section a and a straight section b. The end of the conical section a with a large diameter is connected to the inner cavity 12, and the end of the conical section a with a small diameter is connected to the straight section b. The inner cavity 12 is elliptical, and the channels 13 are symmetrically distributed around the center of the inner cavity 12. The conical section a can allow the inner cavity 12 to exhaust quickly, so that the cushion block 11 has a compression modulus and achieves a better buffering effect, while the straight section b exhausts smoothly and ensures that the cushion block 11 has a better supporting effect.

[0039] Specifically, the end surface of the pad 11 in contact with the LCD 6 has a protrusion 18, and a protrusion gap is formed between adjacent protrusions 18. The protrusion gap can meet the actual production or use conditions, and the pad 11 and the LCD 6 can be pasted by optical glue, and the protrusion gap can retain more glue to improve the pasting effect.

[0040] The driver chip 10 is installed in the pad 11, and the pad 11 provides a protection area for the driver chip 10. The driver chip 10 has a gap 14 from the LCD 6. This can also reduce the squeezing of the driver chip 10 when the LCD 6 is subjected to external force, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the driver chip 10.

[0041] Specifically, the pad 11 and the cover plate 1 are detachably mounted through a snap-fit ​​structure, and the snap-fit ​​structure includes a protrusion 16 in the mounting groove 15 on the cover plate 1, and a groove 17 opened on the side of the pad 11 and matched with the protrusion 16. The snap-fit ​​structure can realize the rapid disassembly or installation between the pad 11 and the cover plate 1, and change the way of sticking the cover plate 1 and the upper polarizer 2 by optical glue (OCA glue) in the prior art. The purpose of doing so is to avoid taking great effort to disassemble the cover plate 1 and the upper polarizer 2 when repairing the display part or the backlight part, and it may also damage the cover plate 1, the upper polarizer 2 or other components, so as to realize simple and convenient disassembly.

[0042] Specifically, the upper polarizer 2 and the two ends of the LCD 6 are adhered by OCA glue 3, and a buffer gap 5 is formed between the two ends of the OCA glue 3. Figure 1 As shown, this method can not only fix the upper polarizer 2 and LCD 6, but also the OCA glue plays a supporting role between the two. The buffer gap 5 formed makes the amount of OCA glue relatively small, and will not affect the imaging effect of LCD 6.

[0043] OCA glue 3 has strong adhesion, high tensile strength, weather resistance, vibration resistance, moisture resistance and adaptability to large changes in temperature, which can improve the display module product's ability to resist crushing.

[0044] Optionally, according to actual production or use conditions, the cover plate 1 and the upper polarizer 2 are adhered together by OCA glue 3 .

[0045] The backlight part includes an iron frame 19 and a reflective sheet 24, a light guide plate 23, a diffuser 22, a lower brightening sheet 21 and an upper brightening sheet 20 which are sequentially installed in the iron frame 19 from bottom to top. The upper end surface of the upper brightening sheet 20 is provided with a light-shielding double-sided tape 25, and the lower end surface of the LCD 6 is attached to the light-shielding double-sided tape 25.

[0046] In the present invention, when the LCD 6 is subjected to an external force, the elastic cushion block 11 is compressed and deformed to provide a buffering effect for the LCD, thereby preventing the LCD from being deformed and damaged under the action of the external force.

[0047] The present utility model, the undescribed parts are prior art.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
