[0030] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and drawings. The contents mentioned in the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention achieves short-circuit protection by placing a conductive adhesive film 4 between the flexible circuit board 3 and the backlight module 2 of the liquid crystal display. The conductive adhesive film 4 consists of an adhesive layer 41 and a conductive layer embedded therein. The thickness of the conductive adhesive film 4 is controlled to be between 15 and 45 μm, ensuring excellent conductivity and adaptability. The circuit layer 32 of the flexible circuit board 3 is fixed to the backlight module 2 via the adhesive layer 41. At the same time, the conductive particles 42 within the conductive layer guide the flow of current in the vertical direction, thereby preventing short circuits between the horizontal circuits of the flexible circuit board 3 and the backlight module 2.

[0032] Specifically, to prevent the adhesive layer 41 of the conductive film 4 from losing its adhesion during installation, this design incorporates a removable release paper 40 on the film's surface. The terminal portion 31 of the flexible circuit board 3 connects to the phone's motherboard for touchscreen signal transmission, while the circuit layer 32 is secured to the backlight module 2 via the adhesive layer 41. During installation, after the release paper 40 is removed, the adhesive layer 41 adheres tightly to the backlight module 2, ensuring the integrity and adhesion of the film.

[0033] Specifically, the LCD screen 1 is covered by a glass substrate 11, within which a capacitor layer 12 and a signal contact area 121 are located. To prevent short circuits between signal contacts and between a contact and the capacitor layer 12, the signal contact area 121 is coated with an insulating material such as polyimide, polytetrafluoroethylene, or epoxy resin. This insulating coating 122 not only prevents short circuits but also enhances the device's antistatic capabilities, thereby ensuring the display's reliability in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0034] Specifically, LED lamp beads 21 are provided on the top of the backlight module 2 , and the LED lamp beads 21 are evenly distributed throughout the entire liquid crystal screen 1 via the light guide plate of the backlight module 2 .

[0035] Specifically, the conductive layer includes a plurality of conductive particles 42, which are evenly distributed within the adhesive layer 41. The conductive particles 42 are metal spheres or plastic spheres coated with metal, and the surface of the conductive particles 42 is coated with an insulating film 421. The conductive particles 42 are evenly distributed within the adhesive layer 41 of the conductive adhesive film 4, with a particle size of 2-5 μm. The outer layer is coated with an insulating film 421 to prevent the risk of leakage before pressure is applied. During installation, the adhesive film is heated and pressurized by a hot pressing device, destroying the insulating film 421 of the conductive particles 42, causing them to transform from a spherical shape to a disc shape, increasing the contact area with the flexible circuit board 3 and the backlight module 2, thereby significantly improving the conductive efficiency and connection reliability.

[0036] Specifically, the surface of the conductive particles 42 is coated with an insulating film 421 by a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method to improve the distribution stability of the particles in the adhesive layer 41 and reduce the leakage risk P before pressurization. The VD process can generate an ultra-thin and dense insulating film 421 with high purity and strong adhesion, while avoiding the residual contamination problem that may be caused by chemical plating. It is suitable for scenarios with high requirements on coating performance. After coating the insulating film 421, the particles will only be conductive after the insulating film 421 is destroyed by external force (such as hot pressing), thereby ensuring that there is no leakage risk caused by accidental contact of particles during assembly and transportation.

[0037] Specifically, the conductive adhesive film 4 is applied between the circuit layer 32 of the flexible circuit board 3 and the backlight module 2, and then pressurized and heated by a heat press. This ruptures the insulating film 421 of the conductive particles 42. The spherical conductive particles 42 transform into discs after heat pressing, increasing the contact area between the flexible circuit board 3, the backlight module 2, and the conductive particles 42. The thickness of the insulating film 421 is controlled within the range of 10-50 nm, ensuring that it is thin enough to rupture under heat or pressure, restoring conductivity. It also possesses high dielectric strength and stable chemical properties.

[0038] Specifically, the particle size of the conductive particles 42 is 2-5 μm, and the metal is one or more combinations of nickel, gold, silver, tin, and copper. While ensuring the conductive performance of the particles, the 2-5 μm particle size can achieve a high filling rate in the adhesive layer 41, thereby improving the conductivity of the contact area of ​​the circuit board after hot pressing. The smaller particle size can also improve the process adaptability of the conductive adhesive, especially in high-precision assembly scenarios such as mobile phone LCD screens, which can meet the needs of fine-pitch connections. In this embodiment, the conductive particles 42 are gold-plated on the outer layer of the nickel core, which not only reduces costs but also enhances corrosion resistance, providing a more stable solution for flexible screens or folding screens.

[0039] Specifically, the conductive particles 42 contain graphene or carbon nanotubes, which further reduce vertical resistance and enhance the flexibility of the conductive adhesive film 4. Carbon nanotubes are nanoscale tubular materials composed of carbon atoms, exhibiting high longitudinal conductivity and mechanical strength, making them suitable for reinforcing the conductive particles 42. Their unique size and shape enable them to establish low-impedance vertical conductive pathways within and outside the particles. Through composite processing techniques, graphene or carbon nanotubes are coated on the surface of the conductive metal particles, forming a composite particle structure of "metal core + carbon-based conductive layer," ensuring both the high conductivity of metal and the flexibility of carbon-based materials.

[0040] Specifically, the adhesive layer 41 includes a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin or a UV curing resin or a nitrile rubber. The adhesive layer 41 of the conductive adhesive film 4 contains a shape memory polymer, which is used to improve the assembly convenience and fatigue resistance of the conductive adhesive film 4. For thermosetting resins, hot pressing is used to solidify them at a specific temperature and pressure, while enhancing the bonding strength between the particles and the matrix. Thermoplastic resins are formed into thin films by melt extrusion or spraying, and then cooled and formed, which is suitable for large-scale flexible screen production. UV curing resins achieve instant curing through ultraviolet exposure, greatly improving production efficiency, and are suitable for the preparation of precision electronic screens. The combination of these processes and materials enables the adhesive layer 41 to be tightly bonded to the conductive particles 42 and the electrode surface, enhancing mechanical stability while maintaining efficient conductivity.

[0041] Specifically, a short-circuit monitoring module and a circuit protection module are provided between the LCD screen 1 and the flexible circuit board 3. The short-circuit monitoring module is used to monitor the short-circuit signal between the LCD screen 1, the flexible circuit board 3 and the backlight module 2 in real time and transmit the signal to the circuit protection module. The circuit protection module is used to disconnect the electrical connection between the LCD screen 1 and the flexible circuit board 3 according to the short-circuit signal.

[0042] The short-circuit monitoring module includes a current detection unit, a voltage detection unit, and a microprocessor module: The current detection unit consists of a shunt and an amplifier circuit, and is used to detect current changes between the LCD screen 1 and the flexible circuit board 3 in real time. Abnormal current (such as too large or too small) may indicate a short circuit. The voltage detection unit monitors the voltage fluctuations of the LCD screen 1 and the backlight module 2 through a voltage divider circuit and an analog-to-digital converter to determine whether an abnormal short circuit has occurred. The microprocessor module is used to analyze the signals from the current and voltage detection units, determine whether a short circuit has occurred based on a preset threshold, and send the judgment result to the circuit protection module.

[0043] The circuit protection module consists of a relay, a power control switch, and a safety fuse. The relay receives signals from the short-circuit monitoring module and quickly disconnects the LCD 1 from the flexible circuit board 3. The power control switch ensures that the power to the LCD 1 and backlight module 2 is quickly shut off in the event of a short circuit, preventing further expansion of the short-circuit current. The safety fuse provides physical overcurrent protection to prevent further damage if the monitoring or protection system fails.

[0044] Specifically, the backlight module 2 utilizes an insulating material frame with an electrostatic shielding layer disposed within the frame. This shielding layer is used to reduce external static interference with the backlight module 2. The insulating material frame of the backlight module 2 is made of epoxy resin, which has high dielectric strength and impact resistance. An electrostatic shielding layer is embedded within the frame and is composed of metal foil (e.g., aluminum foil or copper foil) or a conductive coating.

[0045] Specifically, the flexible circuit board 3 has a three-layer structure, with the circuit layer 32 encased in two layers of insulating material. Made of highly conductive copper foil, it is responsible for transmitting signals and power between the LCD and the backlight module 2. The upper and lower layers of insulating material are made of highly heat-resistant and bend-resistant materials such as polyimide (PI) or polyester (PET), and serve to encapsulate and isolate the circuit layer 32. At the same time, the insulating layer can effectively reduce signal interference and leakage between the circuit layers 32. This improves the mechanical strength and bending resistance of the flexible circuit board 3, meeting the requirements for thinner and more flexible LCDs.

[0046] Specifically, the outer surface of the flexible circuit board 3 is coated with a black electromagnetic film. This film has strong electromagnetic shielding capabilities, effectively blocking or attenuating the leakage of electromagnetic waves generated by the flexible circuit board 3 during operation, while also preventing external electromagnetic signals from interfering with normal circuit operation. This function is particularly important because mobile phones contain densely packed circuits and high-frequency signals, making them susceptible to electromagnetic interference that can affect performance. Furthermore, the black electromagnetic film prevents transient voltage breakdown in the flexible circuit board 3 when subjected to electrostatic discharge, protecting its internal components and signal transmission security. Part of the black electromagnetic film also has certain thermal conductivity properties, which evenly distributes heat during operation, preventing localized overheating that could lead to performance degradation or component damage.

[0047] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
