Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of display screen modules, and more specifically, to a display screen module with an FPC protection structure. Background Art
[0002] In the design and production process of display screen modules, as a key component connecting various internal electronic components of the module, the layout and protection of FPC (flexible printed circuit board) are particularly important. With the continuous progress of display technology and the increasing requirements of consumers for product durability and aesthetics, the limitations of traditional FPC layout methods have gradually emerged;
[0003] In traditional designs, when the FPC needs to extend from the front of the module to the back to connect the driving chip or other electronic components, an opening is usually made at the corresponding position of the iron frame on the module so that the FPC can pass through smoothly. However, although this approach solves the passage problem of the FPC, it brings new problems: the FPC is directly exposed on the side of the module (as Figure 5 shown), becoming a vulnerable link. Due to the soft material of the FPC and the lack of sufficient mechanical strength, it is easily scratched, collided or squeezed by external objects during assembly, transportation or use, resulting in circuit breakage, signal attenuation or even complete failure. This not only affects the display effect and performance stability of the display screen, but may also shorten the service life of the entire product. In addition, the exposure of the FPC will also have an adverse impact on the aesthetics of the module. In today's pursuit of delicate and integrated product appearance, any exposed electronic component looks out of place, reducing the overall grade and competitiveness of the product. Therefore, we make improvements and propose a display screen module with an FPC protection structure. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the utility model is that the FPC bending area is exposed on the side of the module, which is easily scratched or collided by the outside world and is prone to damage.

In this application, by providing a groove on the backlight rubber frame body, the bent area of the FPC body can fall into the groove after being bent, so that the bent area of the FPC body can be hidden in the groove, effectively preventing direct damage to the FPC body by external factors. This design not only realizes the concealed protection of the FPC body, but also does not require an opening on the backlight iron frame body, maintaining the integrity of the backlight iron frame body, thereby improving the overall strength and durability of the module. The complete design of the backlight iron frame body improves the structural strength of the module and reduces the risk of damage caused by external force impact.
[0007] As an improved way of the present utility model, a backlight iron frame body is provided on the outer side of the backlight rubber frame body.

[0033] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters indicate similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.
[0034] Embodiment 1 of the display module with an FPC protection structure of the present utility model
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the display module with an FPC protection structure of the present utility model includes: a display screen main body 5, a backlight rubber frame main body 2 is provided on the display screen main body 5, a groove 4 is provided on the backlight rubber frame main body 2, the display screen main body 5 is connected with an FPC main body 1, the FPC main body 1 is bent on the back of the backlight rubber frame main body 2, and the bent area of the FPC main body 1 passes through the groove 4. In this application, by providing the groove 4 on the backlight rubber frame main body 2, the bent area of the FPC main body 1 can fall into the groove 4 after being bent, so that the bent area of the FPC main body 1 can be hidden in the groove 4, effectively preventing direct damage to the FPC main body 1 by external factors. This design not only realizes the concealed protection of the FPC main body 1, but also does not need to open an opening on the backlight iron frame main body 3, maintaining the integrity of the backlight iron frame main body 3, thereby improving the overall strength and durability of the module. The complete design of the backlight iron frame main body 3 improves the structural strength of the module and reduces the risk of damage caused by external force impact.
[0036] Furthermore, as Figures 1-4 shown, a backlight iron frame main body 3 is provided on the outside of the backlight rubber frame main body 2. The backlight iron frame main body 3 itself has high strength and rigidity, and can effectively resist various adverse external factors. At the same time, its metal material has natural advantages in electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation. This configuration provides multiple guarantees for the display module. First, it greatly enhances the protection ability of the internal components, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the internal components caused by external impacts, squeezes, etc. Second, it helps to maintain the shape and structure of the module, preventing deformation during long-term use or in extreme environments. In addition, it can also effectively reduce the leakage of electromagnetic radiation, improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the display screen, and ensure the normal operation of surrounding electronic devices. For heat dissipation, it also plays a certain auxiliary role, helping to dissipate the heat generated inside the module faster, extending the service life and stability of the module.
[0037] Furthermore, as Figure 2As shown, the bending area of the FPC main body 1 is located between the backlight iron frame main body 3 and the groove 4. A protective structure for the bending area of the FPC main body 1 can be formed by the backlight iron frame main body 3 and the groove 4, so as to reduce the damage of the bending area of the FPC main body 1, improve the reliability and durability of the bending area of the FPC main body 1. In practical applications, whether it is daily slight vibration or relatively strong external force impact, effective buffering and resistance can be obtained, greatly reducing the probability of damage to the bending area of the FPC main body 1, thus ensuring the stability of the display screen signal transmission, reducing the display failure caused by the damage of the FPC main body 1. At the same time, it also extends the overall service life of the display screen module and reduces the maintenance and replacement costs. In addition, this protective structure can also reduce the fatigue damage caused by stress concentration in the bending area of the FPC main body 1, further improving its reliability.
[0038] Furthermore, the shape and size of the groove 4 match the shape and size of the bending area of the FPC main body 1 to ensure that the FPC main body 1 can fit tightly in the groove 4 and will not detach due to movement or vibration.
[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the display screen main body 5 is also connected with a backlight FPC 6. The backlight FPC 6 bends through the groove 4 and is connected to the FPC main body 1.
