The planar size of the PCB board 3 is smaller than the planar size of the second groove structure 13, and there are gaps between the periphery of the PCB board 3 and the inner wall of the second groove structure 13, so that the first sealant 8 can flow into the space between the PCB board 3 and the second groove structure 13, further improving the sealing performance. The setting of the second groove structure 13 can also avoid the problem of de-bonding between the first sealant 8 and the PCB board 3 and improve the stability of the seal.

Then, the main screen FPC 4 and the backlight FPC 5 are soldered and fixed to the pads on the PCB board 3. The second sealant 11 is poured into the lead groove 10 to seal the lead groove 10. After the second sealant 11 solidifies, the first sealant 8 is filled into the second groove structure 13 to seal the PCB board 3, thereby sealing the component area, the connector 7, and the soldering area on the PCB board 3, which can avoid glue detachment and achieve effective protection for the components, the connector 7, and the pads. When encountering an impact, the first sealant 8 can play a buffering role and improve the anti-collision performance, thereby realizing the high protection requirements of the display module for waterproofing, anti-collision, and preventing pad oxidation, and improving the electrical connection stability and service life of the display module.
