Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a liquid crystal display module, more precisely, a liquid crystal display module for protecting a driving IC. Background Art

[0002] The existing liquid crystal display module mainly consists of a cover plate, an LCD and a backlight. The cover plate is attached to the surface of the upper polarizer of the LCD through OCA optical adhesive. Since the driving IC and the FPC need to be bonded, the OCA cannot cover between the driving IC and the cover plate. Only a protective adhesive needs to be coated on the surface of the IC (to prevent foreign matters or water vapor from entering and affecting the normal operation of the driving IC), and a gap needs to be reserved between the protective adhesive and the cover plate. This design not only requires coating the IC protective adhesive on the surface of the IC, but also when attaching the cover plate, uneven attaching pressure is likely to occur on the side close to the gap due to the absence of OCA, which affects the attaching effect.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent document CN216979499U discloses a liquid crystal display module, comprising: a display panel, the display panel includes a TFT substrate and a driving IC disposed on the TFT substrate, wherein the TFT substrate includes a display area in the middle and a non-display area located outside the display area and where the driving IC is disposed, the width of the non-display area is narrower on both sides of the driving IC, and the width is wider on one side away from the driving IC; a backlight module, the backlight module is bonded to the non-display area of the TFT substrate; a cover plate, the cover plate is bonded to the front surface of the display panel. The display area of the TFT substrate is circular. The side edge of the TFT substrate on the side away from the driving IC is arc-shaped and smoothly transitions with the side edges on both sides of the driving IC; the side edges of the TFT substrate on both sides of the driving IC are straight edges. The narrowest width of the non-display area on the side away from the driving IC is 1-2 mm larger than the minimum width of the straight edges of the non-display area on both sides of the driving IC. The width of the straight edges of the non-display area on both sides of the driving IC is less than 2 mm. The display panel further includes a lower polarizer bonded between the TFT substrate and the backlight module. In the direction perpendicular to the backlight module to the display panel, the lower polarizer is concave with respect to the TFT substrate on the side away from the driving IC, and the part of the TFT substrate protruding from the lower polarizer is directly bonded to the backlight module; or, in the direction perpendicular to the backlight module to the display panel, the lower polarizer is flush with the TFT substrate on the side away from the driving IC. In the direction perpendicular to the backlight module to the display panel, the end of the TFT substrate on the side away from the driving IC is flush with or concave with respect to the cover plate. The liquid crystal display module further includes a plastic iron frame for placing the backlight module, and the plastic iron frame is provided with protruding lugs on the side away from the driving IC, and the lugs are press-bonded to the surface of the TFT substrate facing away from the backlight module. At least three lugs are arranged at intervals.

[0004] Obviously, this patent effectively increases the bonding area between the backlight module and the TFT substrate by increasing the bonding area of the side of the TFT substrate away from the driving IC, thereby increasing the bonding firmness between the backlight module and the TFT substrate, and as much as possible meeting the narrow-edge requirement of the liquid crystal display module. When this liquid crystal display module is especially used in in-vehicle liquid crystal display devices or smart wearable liquid crystal display devices, it can effectively improve the anti-vibration performance of the liquid crystal display device, extend the service life of the liquid crystal display device, and improve the user experience. However, this structure cannot solve the problems brought by the existing driving IC. Utility Model Content

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present utility model, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0028] As described in the background art, for the existing liquid crystal display module, the existing liquid crystal display module mainly consists of a cover plate, an LCD and a backlight. Among them, the cover plate is attached to the surface of the upper polarizer of the LCD through an OCA optical adhesive. Since the driving IC and the FPC need to be bonded, the OCA cannot cover between the driving IC and the cover plate. Only a protective adhesive can be coated on the surface of the IC, and a gap needs to be reserved between the protective adhesive and the cover plate. This design not only requires coating the IC protective adhesive on the surface of the IC, but also when attaching the cover plate, due to the absence of OCA on one side close to the gap, it is easy to have uneven bonding pressure, affecting the bonding effect.

[0029] To solve this technical problem, the present utility model provides a liquid crystal display module for protecting a driving IC, which includes a cover plate 1. An OCA layer 2 is provided on the lower surface of the cover plate 1. An upper polarizer 3 is provided on the lower surface of the OCA layer 2. An upper glass sheet 4 is provided on the lower surface of the upper polarizer 3. A liquid crystal layer 9 is provided on the lower surface of the upper glass sheet 4. A lower glass sheet 5 is provided on the lower surface of the liquid crystal layer 9. A lower polarizer 6 is provided on the lower surface of the lower glass sheet 5. A backlight plate 7 is provided on the lower surface of the lower polarizer 6. An FPC board M is provided at the edge of the lower surface of the upper glass sheet 4. Among them, the upper glass sheet 4 is larger than the lower glass sheet 5, and a receiving groove S is formed between the edge of the upper glass sheet 4 and the backlight plate 7. A driving IC 8 is provided at the edge of the lower surface of the upper glass sheet 4, and the driving IC 8 faces the receiving groove S.

[0030] Through the above structural design, since the driving IC 8 is arranged in the sealed receiving groove S, the protective glue for protecting the driving IC can be omitted, effectively reducing the production cost. Since the upper glass sheet 4 is larger than the lower glass sheet 5, the upper polarizer 3 on the surface of the upper glass sheet 4 can be increased. At the same time, the OCA layer 2 can also synchronously increase the contact area with the cover plate 1, which is beneficial to improving the bonding effect of the cover plate 1.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present utility model.
