[0034] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in yet another embodiment" or "in other embodiments", which may each refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0035] In some laptop designs, the rear cover and the middle frame are designed as an integral structure. Although this integrated design improves the aesthetics and structural strength of the product, when repairing the internal components between the display screen and the housing 1, the flexible screen may be accidentally torn off from the fixed position. To solve this problem, a connecting plate is usually used to connect the display screen and the housing 1. However, the inventors found that during the disassembly process or when the user presses the display screen, the flat connecting plate may be deformed due to excessive concentrated stress, thereby causing damage to the connecting plate itself and the display screen.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a display screen structure, which includes: a housing 1 having a bearing surface 11; and a connecting member 2 disposed on the bearing surface 11. The connecting member 2 includes a supporting portion 21 and a fixing portion 22 surrounding the outer periphery of the supporting portion 21, and the heights of the supporting portion 21 and the fixing portion 22 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 are different, forming a connecting portion 23 for connecting the supporting portion 21 and the fixing portion 22; a display panel 3, which is stacked with the supporting portion 21 and is located on the side opposite to the supporting portion 21 and the bearing surface 11. The non-display surface 31 of the display panel 3 is in contact with the supporting portion 21, and the side surface of the display panel 3 surrounding the non-display surface 31 is at least partially in contact with the connecting portion 23.

[0037] In a possible case, the display screen structure refers to the combination of various physical and functional components that make up the display screen, which may include the display panel 3, the housing 1, etc., and may also include a backlight system, a driving circuit, etc. Among them, the housing 1 can be an outer cover or a bearing seat with a protective function, a containing function or a bearing function. For example: the housing 1 can be the outer shell of a laptop, a mobile phone shell, a watch shell and other electronic device shells with a display screen; or the housing 1 can also be a non-electronic device such as a writing board shell, a photo frame, etc.; or the housing 1 can be a base with a containing groove for containing and bearing electronic components. Such as Figure 1 , Figures 9 - 11 As shown, the bearing surface 11 refers to the surface on the housing 1 for supporting, placing or bearing other objects. For example: the bearing surface 11 of the housing 1 is used to bear the connecting member 2 and the display panel 3. The bearing surface 11 can be an uneven surface or a smooth plane, and the bearing surface 11 is not limited here.

[0038] The connecting member 2 is disposed on the bearing surface 11. The connecting member 2 can be placed on the bearing surface 11 or fixed to the bearing surface 11 by screws, snap fasteners or mortise and tenon connectors. The connecting member 2 is used to connect two or more components, members or structures together. For example, the connecting member 2 can be used to connect the display panel 3 and the housing 1. The connecting member 2 includes a supporting portion 21 and a fixing portion 22 surrounding the outer periphery of the supporting portion 21. The fixing portion 22 is arranged around the outer edge of the supporting portion 21. The fixing portion 22 can be arranged around the entire outer periphery of the supporting portion 21 or around a partial outer periphery of the supporting portion 21. The supporting portion 21 can refer to the part of the connecting member 2 that provides a bearing for the object to be supported (such as a display panel, etc.). The supporting portion 21 can provide point support, line support or surface support. For example, the supporting portion 21 can be the part in contact with the display panel 3 for supporting the display panel 3, or the supporting portion 21 can be the part in contact with the support plate 4 for providing support for the support plate 4. The fixing portion 22 can refer to the part of the connecting member 2 that is used to connect with the housing 1. The supporting portion 21 contacts the non-display surface 31 of the display panel 3 and is used to support the display panel 3. The supporting portion 21 can be a flat surface or other shape adapted to the contour of the non-display surface 31 of the display panel 3. The fixing portion 22 can contact the housing 1 and be detachably connected to the housing 1. It can be connected to the housing 1 by means of bolt connection, snap connection or mortise and tenon connection. The heights of the fixing portion 22 and the supporting portion 21 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 can be different. Here, the thickness direction refers to the vertical distance between the mutually parallel surfaces of the connecting member 2, one surface being close to the bearing surface 11 and the other surface being close to the display panel 3.

[0039] An engaging portion 23 can be formed between the supporting portion 21 and the fixing portion 22 for connecting and transitioning between the supporting portion 21 and the fixing portion 22. The engaging portion 23 is an intermediate part connecting and transitioning between two different parts (such as the supporting portion 21 and the fixing portion 22). The engaging portion 23 can be a smooth inclined surface, an arc inclined surface or a stepped structure. Additionally, the height difference between the supporting portion 21 and the fixing portion 22 is not limited here. The height of the fixing portion 22 can be higher than that of the supporting portion 21 or the height of the supporting portion 21 can be higher than that of the fixing portion 22.

[0040] The display panel 3 can be a flat panel display for displaying images and texts, which generates images by controlling each pixel in the pixel array. The display panel 3 can be a flexible screen. The side surface of the display panel 3 surrounding the non-display surface 31 and the connecting portion 23 can be in partial contact or full contact. The non-display surface 31 refers to the part of the display panel 3 that is not used for displaying images. For example, in a liquid crystal display or an organic light emitting diode screen, the non-display surface is usually the back surface or the side surface, rather than the front display area. The side surface of the non-display surface 31 can refer to the surface of the display panel 3 located between the non-display surface 31 and the display surface 32. The side surface of the non-display surface 31 is in direct physical contact with the surface of the connecting portion 23, the side surface of the non-display surface 31 is in full contact with the connecting portion 23, or the side surface of the non-display surface 31 is in partial contact with the connecting portion 23.

[0041] A display screen structure provided by the present application. The display screen structure refers to the combination of various physical and functional components that make up the display screen, which can include the display panel 3, the housing 1, etc., and can also include a backlight system, a driving circuit, etc. It connects the display screen panel to the bearing surface 11 of the housing 1 through the connecting member 2. Among them, the connecting member 2 includes a fixing portion 22 and a supporting portion 21 with a height difference, and a connecting portion 23 is formed between the fixing portion 22 and the supporting portion 21. The non-display surface 31 of the display panel 3 is in contact with the supporting portion 21, and the side surface of the display panel 3 surrounding the non-display surface 31 is in at least partial contact with the connecting portion 23. Due to the combined action of the supporting portion 21 and the connecting portion 23, both the non-display surface 31 of the display panel 3 and its side surface can be supported. This not only increases the number of support points but also expands the total support area. A larger support area means that the external force can be dispersed to more positions, which helps to avoid excessive pressure on a single position of the display panel 3, thereby reducing local stress concentration. Reducing the force per unit area makes the display panel 3 less likely to reach its breaking strength, thus reducing the risk of the display panel 3 cracking.

[0042] In some modified embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, when an external force acts on the supporting portion 21, the transmission path of the external force from the supporting portion 21 to the fixing portion 22 passes through the connecting portion 23; and / or when an external force acts on the fixing portion 22, the transmission path of the external force from the fixing portion 22 to the supporting portion 21 passes through the connecting portion 23; and / or when an external force acts on the display panel 3, the transmission path of the external force from the display panel 3 to the supporting portion 21 passes through the connecting portion 23.

[0043] In a possible case, such as Figure 5As shown, when an external force directly acts on the support portion 21, the transmission path of the external force from the support portion 21 to the fixing portion 22 passes through the connecting portion 23. The force transmission path refers to the specific route by which the external force starts from the acting point, passes through various components and connection points in the structure, and finally reaches the support point or the fixing point. At this time, the acting point of the external force is located on the support portion 21. The force starts from the support portion 21 and can then be gradually transmitted to the fixing portion 22 through the connecting portion 23. Due to the existence of the connecting portion 23, the force will not suddenly concentrate in a small area of the fixing portion 22, but will be gradually distributed along the connecting portion 23. It can prevent the fixing portion 22 from warping due to excessive local stress, and at the same time increase the rigidity of the entire connecting member 2 and improve its anti-deformation ability.

[0044] When the external force acts on the fixing portion 22, the transmission path of the external force from the fixing portion 22 to the support portion 21 passes through the connecting portion 23. At this time, the acting point of the external force is located on the fixing portion 22. The force starts from the fixing portion 22 and can then be gradually transmitted to the support portion 21 through the connecting portion 23. Due to the existence of the connecting portion 23, the force will not suddenly concentrate in a small area of the support portion 21, but will be gradually distributed along the connecting portion 23. It can prevent the support portion 21 from warping due to excessive local stress, and at the same time increase the rigidity of the entire connecting member 2 and improve its anti-deformation ability. During the process of the force being transmitted from the fixing portion 22 to the connecting portion 23, since the display panel 3 is disposed around the side surface of the non-display surface 31 and contacts the connecting portion 23, the connecting portion 23 guides part of the force to be dispersed to the display panel 3 and the support portion 21. Since the force is guided and dispersed, the rigidity of the entire connecting member 2 is enhanced and its anti-deformation ability is improved.

[0045] When an external force acts on the display panel 3, the force will be transmitted to the support portion 21 through the non-display surface 31 of the display panel 3. Since the display panel 3 is disposed around the side surface of the non-display surface 31 and contacts the connecting portion 23, and the non-display surface 31 contacts the support portion 21, the force will be further transmitted to the connecting portion 23 through the side surface of the display panel 3 and then to the fixing portion 22. The connecting portion 23 increases the contact area between the display panel 3 and the connecting member 2, so that the external force acting on the display panel 3 can be dispersed to the connecting portion 23 and the support portion 21, which can effectively reduce the pressure concentration at the edge of the display panel 3 and prevent the display panel 3 from being broken or damaged. At the same time, the support portion 21 and the fixing portion 22 work together to provide more stable support for the display panel 3.

[0046] The external force can be pressure or tension, and the direction of the external force can be perpendicular to the bearing surface 11 or form an angle with the bearing surface 11. The magnitude and direction of the external force are not limited here.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bearing surface 11 includes a first bearing surface 111 and a second bearing surface 112 which are arranged adjacent to each other. The supporting portion 21 covers the first bearing surface 111, the fixing portion 22 covers at least part of the second bearing surface 112, and the fixing portion 22 is detachably connected to the second bearing surface 112. Wherein, the height of the surface of the supporting portion 21 close to the display panel 3 and the height of the surface of the fixing portion 22 close to the display panel 3 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 are different; and / or the height of the surface of the supporting portion 21 close to the housing 1 and the height of the surface of the fixing portion 22 close to the housing 1 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 are different.

[0048] In a possible case, the bearing surface 11 includes a first bearing surface 111 and a second bearing surface 112, and the heights of the first bearing surface 111 and the second bearing surface 112 in the thickness direction of the housing 1 are different. For example, the first bearing surface 111 is higher than the second bearing surface 112 or the second bearing surface 112 is higher than the first bearing surface 111. The adjacent arrangement can be understood that at least part of the outer peripheral edge of the first bearing surface 111 shares an edge with the second bearing surface 112 or at least part of the outer peripheral edge of the second bearing surface 112 shares an edge with the first bearing surface 111.

[0049] As Figures 9 - 11 shown, the supporting portion 21 and the first bearing surface 111 are stacked, and the supporting portion 21 can be in contact with the first bearing surface 111 or there is a gap between the supporting portion 21 and the first bearing surface 111 for accommodation. The fixing portion 22 can completely cover the second bearing surface 112 or cover part of the second bearing surface 112, that is, the area of the fixing portion 22 is less than or equal to the area of the second bearing surface 112, and the fixing portion 22 and the second bearing surface 112 can be connected by bolts, buckles or other detachable means, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0050] As Figure 9 shown, the height of the surface of the supporting portion 21 close to the display panel 3 and the height of the surface of the fixing portion 22 close to the display panel 3 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 are different, or as Figure 10 shown, the height of the surface of the supporting portion 21 close to the housing 1 and the height of the surface of the fixing portion 22 close to the housing 1 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 can be different, or as Figure 11As shown, the height of the surface of the support portion 21 close to the display panel 3 and the height of the surface of the fixing portion 22 close to the display panel 3 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 are different, and the height of the surface of the support portion 21 close to the housing 1 and the height of the surface of the fixing portion 22 close to the housing 1 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 2 may be different. The height difference between the support portion 21 and the fixing portion 22 forms a stepped structure, that is: an engaging portion 23 is formed, and at least a part of the side surface of the display panel 3 surrounding the non-display surface 31 is in contact with the engaging portion 23. When an external force acts on the display panel 3, due to the existence of the engaging portion 23, the stress area of the display panel 3 is increased, the pressure per unit area of the display panel 3 is reduced, and it is helpful to disperse the pressure acting on the display panel 3. In addition, when the connecting member 2 is assembled on the first bearing surface 111 and the second bearing surface 112 with different heights, the engaging portion 23 can play a guiding role.

[0051] In some embodiments, the engaging portion 23 includes a plurality of platforms 231 having a height difference and arranged in sequence in the direction from the fixing portion 22 to the support portion 21, and adjacent two platforms 231 are connected by side walls 232; the display screen structure further includes: a support plate 4, disposed between the support portion 21 and the display panel 3, and the support plate 4 covers and contacts the support portion 21 along the thickness direction of the display panel 3; wherein, the display panel 3 is attached to the surface of the support plate 4 facing away from the support portion 21, at least a part of the display panel 3 is in contact with the engaging portion 23, and at least a part of the support plate 4 is in contact with the engaging portion 23.

[0052] In a possible case, such as Figure 6As shown, the connecting portion 23 may be composed of multiple platforms 231 with height differences. These platforms 231 may be arranged in sequence along the direction from the fixing portion 22 to the supporting portion 21. There is a height difference between adjacent platforms 231, and the orthographic projections of adjacent platforms 231 in the direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 11 may overlap or not overlap. Adjacent platforms 231 may be connected by side walls 232, that is, connecting walls are provided at the ends of adjacent platforms 231 close to each other, and a stepped or ramp-shaped transition region may be formed. The connecting portion 23 composed of multiple platforms 231 provides more contact points and a larger force-bearing area, which helps to disperse external forces. The support plate 4 may be arranged between the supporting portion 21 and the display panel 3. The support plate 4 provides a uniform and flat support surface for the display panel 3 to support the display panel 3, and can prevent the display panel 3 from being sunken when the user presses on the display surface 32 of the display panel 3. The display panel 3 contacts the side of the support plate 4 facing away from the supporting portion 21, and the display panel 3 may be fixed to the support plate 4 by means such as gluing, magnetic attraction, and thermal lamination. The support plate 4 may cover the supporting portion 21 and contact the supporting portion 21. The support plate 4 may be pasted on the supporting portion 21 by an easy-to-pull adhesive to fix the support plate 4 to the supporting portion 21 and prevent it from moving. A side portion of the support plate 4 may partially contact the connecting portion 23 or the side of the support plate 4 may completely contact the connecting portion 23. In addition, the side of the support plate 4 facing away from the display panel 3 may overlap at least one platform 231 of the connecting portion 23, and the side of the connecting portion 23 may contact the side wall 232, increasing the contact area between the support plate 4 and the connecting member 2. In this way, the force-bearing area of the support plate 4 can be increased, and the displacement or deformation of the support plate 4 caused by lateral force can also be reduced. At the same time, the side of the display panel 3 surrounding the non-display surface 31 at least partially contacts the connecting portion 23, increasing the contact surface area between the display panel 3 and the connecting member 2. In this way, the force-bearing area of the display panel 3 can be increased, and the force acting on the display panel 3 can be effectively transmitted to multiple platforms 231, thereby reducing local stress.

[0053] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection area of the supporting portion 21 on the display panel 3 is greater than or equal to the area of the display panel 3; or the orthographic projection area of the supporting portion 21 on the display panel 3 is less than the area of the display panel 3.

[0054] In a possible case, the orthographic projection area of the supporting portion 21 on the display panel 3 is greater than or equal to the area of the display panel 3, that is: the supporting portion 21 completely covers the non-display surface 31 of the display panel 3, which can further enhance the support for the display panel 3 and prevent the display panel 3 from collapsing due to being pressed. In addition, as Figure 2 or Figure 7 shown, in order to reduce the weight of the connecting member 2, the orthographic projection area of the supporting portion 21 on the display panel 3 may be less than the area of the display panel 3, that is: the supporting portion 21 covers a part of the display panel 3, and the supporting portion 21 may be an annular structure.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the orthographic projection area of the support portion 21 on the display panel 3 is smaller than the area of the display panel 3, the support portion 21 is a ring structure, and the inner ring area of the support portion 21 is smaller than the area of the display panel 3; the stiffness of the support plate 4 is greater than the stiffness of the support portion 21 and the fixing portion 22.

[0056] In a possible case, as Figure 7 shown, the support portion 21 of the connecting member 2 can be a ring structure. The support portion 21 is mainly used to bear the edge area of the support plate 4, with the central part left empty, and the inner ring area is the area left empty in the central part of the support portion 21. To further reduce the weight, the connecting member 2 can be made of an aluminum-magnesium alloy material. The thickness of the support plate 4 can be set according to actual needs. To reduce the thickness of the support plate 4 while ensuring its stiffness, the support plate 4 can be a carbon fiber plate. The stiffness of the support plate 4 is greater than the stiffness of the support portion 21 and the fixing portion 22, that is: the anti-deformation ability of the support plate 4 is greater than that of the support portion 21 and the fixing portion 22. The thickness of the support plate 4 can be set according to actual needs, and by selecting an appropriate thickness, the requirements for weight and stiffness can be balanced. When an external force acts on the display panel 3, the force is first transmitted to the support plate 4. Since the support plate 4 has a high anti-deformation ability, it can effectively resist the external force and maintain its own shape and position unchanged. The support plate 4 transmits the force to the connecting member 2. Since the connecting member 2 has a lower anti-deformation ability than the support plate 4, it will undergo a small deformation, thereby consuming a part of the force. The small deformation of the connecting member 2 can absorb and disperse the external force, further protecting the display panel 3 from damage.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the orthographic projection area of the support portion 21 on the display panel 3 is smaller than the area of the display panel 3, the support portion 21 is a ring structure, the inner ring area of the support portion 21 is smaller than the area of the display panel 3, and a transition portion 5 is formed by a smooth transition between two adjacent edges of the inner ring.

[0058] In a possible case, as Figure 7 shown, a smooth transition design can be adopted between two adjacent edges of the inner ring to form a transition portion 5. The transition portion 5 can be arc-shaped or other smooth curved surface shapes. The transition portion 5 can be in contact with the support plate 4 or the display panel 3. When an external force such as pressing acts on the display panel 3, the transition portion 5 can increase the force-bearing area of the support plate 4 or the display panel 3, helping to disperse stress, avoid stress concentration, and improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the orthographic projection area of the support portion 21 on the display panel 3 is smaller than the area of the display panel 3, the support portion 21 is a ring structure, the inner ring area of the support portion 21 is smaller than the area of the display panel 3, and a plurality of continuous or spaced teeth 6 protruding from the inner ring are provided on the edge of the inner ring.

[0060] In a possible case, such as Figure 8 shown, the inner ring is the part with a hollow center of the supporting part. Multiple continuous or spaced convex teeth 6 protruding from the inner ring can be provided at the edge of the inner ring. The inner ring is provided with a toothed structure protruding towards the center of the inner ring. The convex teeth 6 can be arc-shaped convex teeth 6, serrated teeth, trapezoidal teeth, etc. The convex teeth 6 can be regularly arranged or can be irregularly arranged. The convex teeth 6 can extend towards the center of the inner ring. The size of the convex teeth 6 can be set according to actual needs. The convex teeth 6 can be in contact with the support plate 4 or the display panel 3 to provide a supporting force for the support plate 4 or the display panel 3. The setting of the convex teeth 6 increases the stress-bearing area of the support plate 4 or the display panel 3, helps to disperse stress, avoids stress concentration, and improves the stability of the overall structure.

[0061] In some embodiments, the display screen structure further includes: an adhesive layer, the fixing part 22 includes a first fixing part 221 and a second fixing part 222, and the first fixing part 221 is detachably connected to the second bearing surface 112 through the adhesive layer; a locking component, the second fixing part 222 is detachably connected to the second bearing surface 112 through the locking component; the fixing part 22 is detachably connected to the bearing surface 11, so that the display panel 3 and the connecting member 2 can be separated from the housing 1 in a direction away from the housing 1, or so that the housing 1 can be separated from the connecting member 2 in a direction away from the display panel 3.

[0062] In a possible case, such as Figure 3 shown, the fixing part 22 can include a first fixing part 221 and a second fixing part 222, and the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 can be different parts of the fixing part 22 respectively.

For example: the fixing part 22 can be rectangular ring-shaped, the side of the rectangular ring can be the first fixing part 221, and the rest of the edges can be the second fixing part 222. A paste layer for connecting and fixing with the second bearing surface 112 can be provided on the surface of the first fixing part 221 facing away from the display panel 3. The paste layer can be an easy-to-tear adhesive. The easy-to-tear adhesive can be easily torn off when disassembly is required, leaving no residual glue and not damaging the adhered surface.

The size and quantity of the locking holes 8 are not limited here and can be set according to the area of the second fixing part 222 of the connecting member 2. The second bearing surface 112 can be provided with a plurality of mounting holes 9 corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of locking holes 8. The locking hole 8 and the corresponding mounting hole 9 can be locked by a locking member 10, and the locking member 10 can be a bolt. The locking assembly can be provided with an opening on the locking hole 8, which can reduce the width of the fixing part 22 to achieve the effect of narrow-edge. The fixing part 22 adopts an adhesive layer and a locking assembly, that is, the connecting member 2 and the bearing surface 11 can be detachably connected through two connection methods of flexibility and rigidity, and the positions of the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 can be flexibly arranged according to needs. For example, when the display panel 3 is a flexible screen, the first fixing part 221 can be set at the bent place of the flexible screen, and the second fixing part 222 can be set at other parts.
