[0027] In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0028] The utility model provides a liquid crystal display screen with a backlight on the button, which comprises a lower polarizer, a large glass sheet, a small glass sheet, an upper polarizer and a glass cover plate stacked in sequence from bottom to top. The large glass sheet is longer than the small glass sheet and extends outwards to form a step. A driving IC is bonded to the upper surface of the large glass sheet at the step. A flexible circuit board is arranged below the glass cover plate. The flexible circuit board is provided with a button sensing circuit and an LED lamp. The button sensing circuit is located above the driving IC. A first-layer light-shielding ink is arranged on the lower surface of the glass cover plate. A second-layer light-shielding ink is arranged on the lower surface of the first-layer light-shielding ink. At least one hollow part is arranged at the first-layer light-shielding ink and the second-layer light-shielding ink. A semi-transparent ink is arranged at the hollow part. A diffusion ink is arranged below the semi-transparent ink. The position of the hollow part corresponds to the position of the button sensing circuit.

[0029] Since the button sensing circuit is arranged on the flexible circuit board, even if it is scrapped during the production process, only the cost of the flexible circuit board is lost, which is much lower than the cost of the glass cover plate, reducing the loss. The button sensing circuit is located above the driving IC, and the position of the non-display area can be very well utilized for layout, without increasing the occupied area of the non-display area, thereby reducing the border. Moreover, the flexible circuit board has a built-in backlight, so that it can be used normally in a dim environment, bringing a better use experience to the user and improving the competitiveness of the product.
