Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screen protection, and more specifically, to an OLED screen protection structure. Background Art
[0002] The working principle of an OLED screen is to apply a voltage to an organic material, causing electrons and holes (charged particles) to move in the material and form a current between the cathode and the anode. When the electrons and holes recombine, energy is released in the form of light, thus achieving light emission. This light-emitting method enables the OLED screen to directly display images without a backlight; the OLED screen uses a very thin organic material coating and a glass substrate (or a flexible organic substrate), so it can be made lighter and thinner, and can even be bent and folded; the OLED screen can display pure black because the non-light-emitting parts can be completely turned off, thus providing extremely high contrast. At the same time, the OLED screen has a wide viewing angle characteristic, and the picture will not be distorted even when viewed at a large angle; when the OLED screen displays black or dark colors, it hardly consumes electric energy, so it can significantly save power consumption; the response time of the OLED screen is very short, almost one-thousandth of that of an LCD screen, which makes it not show ghosting when displaying moving images;
[0003] With the rapid progress of modern electronic display technology, OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screens have been widely used in many fields such as flat-panel TVs, smartphones, and wearable devices due to their unique self-luminous characteristics. Since OLED screens have self-luminous characteristics, the backlight source can be cancelled and used independently, which makes the screen structure more concise. At the same time, higher contrast and a wider color gamut coverage range are achieved, providing users with a more vivid and real visual experience, as Figure 5 shown, the OLED screen is mainly composed of a glass substrate and an FPC.
[0004] However, OLED screens also face a series of technical challenges in the design and application process. Since OLED screens usually adopt a single-layer glass substrate structure, this structure is extremely vulnerable to external impacts and squeezes during transportation, assembly, and daily use. Especially in the glass edge and four right-angle regions, due to the relatively weak structural strength, edge breakage (i.e., "edge cracking") is likely to occur, which not only seriously affects the aesthetics of the screen but may also lead to a decline in the overall performance of the screen or even complete damage. Therefore, we make improvements and propose an OLED screen protection structure. Summary of the Utility Model

This reliable protection also extends the service life of the OLED screen, reduces the maintenance and replacement costs, bringing actual economic benefits to both users and manufacturers. Overall, it improves the safety and reliability of the OLED screen in the transportation and assembly links, laying a solid foundation for the smooth circulation and use of the product.

[0033] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present utility model and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0034] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote 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.
[0035] Embodiment 1 of the OLED screen protection structure of the present utility model
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the OLED screen protection structure of the present utility model includes: a protection frame 2, the protection frame 2 has an installation chamber, and the installation chamber is used for installing the OLED screen. The protection frame 2 has a frame wall, and the height of the frame wall is not less than the thickness of the OLED screen, so as to realize the protection of the protection frame 2 for the OLED screen. Through the provided protection frame 2, the protection frame 2 and the frame wall on the protection frame 2 provide reliable edge and bottom protection for the OLED screen, significantly reducing the risk of screen damage during transportation and assembly. This reliable protection also extends the service life of the OLED screen, reduces the maintenance and replacement costs, bringing actual economic benefits to both users and manufacturers. Overall, it improves the safety and reliability of the OLED screen in the transportation and assembly links, laying a solid foundation for the smooth circulation and use of the product;
[0037] It provides all-round edge and bottom protection for the OLED screen, greatly reducing the risk of screen damage during transportation and assembly. During transportation, it may encounter bumps, collisions, etc. The frame wall with a height not less than the screen thickness can effectively block external force impacts from all directions, providing a solid barrier for the screen. During the assembly process, it can also prevent damage to the screen edge caused by improper operation, ensuring the integrity and stability of the screen.
[0038] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the protection frame 2 is made of plastic. The plastic protection frame 2 has many advantages. First of all, it is lighter in weight, convenient for handling and installation, reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving work efficiency. Secondly, plastic has a certain flexibility. When the protection frame 2 is subjected to external force impacts, it can play a buffering role, dispersing the impact force, thereby reducing the direct damage to the OLED screen. In addition, the cost of plastic materials is relatively low, which helps to reduce the production cost of the entire protection structure.
[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, there are connectors arranged in the installation chamber. The connectors are used to connect the OLED screen. The connectors in the installation chamber ensure the firm installation of the OLED screen in the protection frame 2. During transportation or use, the screen will not be displaced in the protection frame 2 due to shaking or vibration, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by screen loosening. At the same time, the firm connection also helps to improve the stability and reliability of the entire product and extend the service life of the product.
[0040] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting member is the connecting adhesive 1. The connecting adhesive 1 is bonded in the installation chamber. The connecting adhesive 1 is used to bond the OLED screen. The connecting adhesive 1 is a foam adhesive. The foam adhesive has good buffering performance. During transportation and use, once the protective frame 2 is impacted by an external force, the foam adhesive can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, providing additional protection for the OLED screen and reducing the risk of the screen being damaged due to instantaneous impact force. Secondly, the softness of the foam adhesive enables it to better adapt to the surface shape of the screen, ensuring a tight fit with the screen, thereby improving the bonding firmness. Even if there are some minor unevenness on the screen surface, the foam adhesive can fully fill the gaps, ensuring the stability of the screen within the protective frame 2. Moreover, the foam adhesive has a certain elasticity. When the screen expands or contracts slightly due to factors such as temperature changes, the foam adhesive can adapt to this change to a certain extent without causing the screen to be damaged due to rigid connection. In addition, the foam adhesive usually has good weather resistance and can maintain its bonding performance under different environmental conditions, ensuring long-term and effective protection of the OLED screen.
[0041] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the color of the connecting adhesive 1 is black. The black protective frame 2 can make the glass background color of the OLED screen more uniform, thereby improving the display effect of the screen. When viewing the screen, users will not feel visual discomfort due to uneven background color and can obtain a better visual experience, enhancing the aesthetics of the product.
[0042] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the distance between the frame wall and the edge of the OLED screen is 0.1mm - 0.15mm. The reserved distance of 0.1mm - 0.15mm plays an important protective role. First, it avoids direct contact between the screen and the frame wall, preventing the screen from being damaged due to friction or extrusion. During transportation or use, even if the protective frame 2 undergoes slight deformation, it will not cause direct pressure on the screen. Secondly, this distance provides a certain amount of movement space for the screen. When the screen is subjected to an external force, there is a certain buffer room, reducing the impact of the external force on the screen.
[0043] Embodiment Two of the OLED Screen Protection Structure of the Present Utility Model
[0044] Furthermore, in the OLED screen protection structure of the present utility model, first avoidance members are provided at the four corners of the frame wall. The first avoidance members are used to avoid the four corners of the OLED screen, preventing contact between the edges and corners of the OLED screen and the frame wall, thereby reducing the transmission of the acting force from the frame wall to the edges and corners of the OLED screen. In the protection of the screen, the edge and corner parts are often relatively vulnerable areas. The provision of the first avoidance members can effectively protect the edges and corners of the OLED screen. When the protection frame 2 is subjected to an external impact, the first avoidance members can prevent the edges and corners from directly bearing the force, reducing the risk of damage to the edges and corners. At the same time, since the acting force transmitted from the frame wall to the screen edges and corners is reduced, the possibility of the screen cracking due to the force on the edges and corners is also decreased, further improving the safety and reliability of the screen.
[0045] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the first avoidance member is an avoidance groove 201. The avoidance groove 201 is opened at the corners of the frame wall. As the first avoidance member, the avoidance groove 201 has a simple and practical design. The opening of the avoidance groove 201 provides a dedicated avoidance space for the screen edges and corners without affecting the overall structural strength of the protection frame 2. This design not only ensures the protection of the screen by the protection frame 2 but also does not reduce the strength of the protection frame 2 due to the addition of the avoidance member. During the production and manufacturing process, the processing of the avoidance groove 201 is relatively easy, reducing the production cost.
[0046] Embodiment Three of the OLED Screen Protection Structure of the Present Utility Model
[0047] Furthermore, in the OLED screen protection structure of the present utility model, a second avoidance member is provided on one side of the frame wall. The second avoidance member is used for the FPC of the OLED screen to pass through. The provision of the second avoidance member provides a dedicated channel for the FPC of the OLED screen, making the wiring of the FPC more reasonable and tidy. During use, the FPC will not interfere with other components, improving the reliability and stability of the product. At the same time, the reasonable wiring of the FPC also helps to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of the product, making the product more in line with the aesthetic needs of users.
[0048] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the second avoidance member is an FPC wiring groove 202. The FPC wiring groove 202 is opened on one side of the frame wall. The FPC wiring groove 202 is used for the FPC of the OLED screen to pass through. The design of the FPC wiring groove 202 has many advantages. First of all, the FPC wiring groove 202 can fix the position of the FPC, preventing it from shifting or being damaged during transportation and use. In addition, the opening of the wiring groove also makes the assembly of the product more convenient, improving the production efficiency.
[0049] In use, first stick the connecting glue 1 in the installation chamber on the protective frame 2, then stick the OLED screen on the connecting glue 1, and make the FPC of the OLED screen pass through the FPC routing groove 202.
