[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1This invention provides a coated cover plate for improving light transmittance and hardness, comprising a glass substrate 1 and a lower tantalum oxide layer 11, a titanium dioxide layer 12, a TeO2 layer 13, and an upper tantalum oxide layer 14 sequentially stacked on the upper surface of the glass substrate 1 from bottom to top. The lower tantalum oxide layer 11 and the upper tantalum oxide layer 14 both have the chemical formula Ta2O5, the titanium dioxide layer 12 has the chemical formula TiO2, the thickness of the lower tantalum oxide layer 11 is 50nm-100nm, the thickness of the titanium dioxide layer 12 is 100nm-200nm, the thickness of the TeO2 layer 13 is 50nm-150nm, and the thickness of the upper tantalum oxide layer 14 is 50nm-100nm. The lower tantalum oxide layer 11 has good adhesion, firmly adhering to the glass surface and serving as a base for other coating layers. It also possesses good chemical stability and hardness, enhancing the overall durability of the coating layer. The titanium dioxide layer 12 has high light transmittance and good optical properties, which can be used to adjust the optical characteristics of the coating layer, such as reflectivity and transmittance. Furthermore, it has excellent UV resistance, effectively protecting internal components from UV damage. The TeO2 layer 13 improves light transmittance. The upper tantalum oxide layer 14, as the outermost layer, primarily serves a protective function, preventing the coating layer from being corroded by the external environment, such as scratches and chemical corrosion. It also provides a certain degree of hardness, enhancing the scratch resistance of the cover plate 100. This patented technology is based on the principle of multi-layer coating. By precisely controlling the type, thickness, and arrangement order of the coating materials, a functional cover plate 100 coating layer integrating high light transmittance, scratch resistance, and UV protection is constructed. The bottom layer, the lower tantalum oxide layer 11, utilizes its excellent adhesion and chemical stability to provide a solid foundation for the entire coating layer. The intermediate layer uses a titanium dioxide layer 12, which, with its high light transmittance and UV resistance, optimizes the optical performance of the coating and protects internal components. A TeO2 layer 13 is introduced as the functional layer to further improve light transmittance and enhance visual effects. The top layer again uses tantalum oxide as a protective layer, effectively resisting external environmental corrosion and ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the coating. Through this multi-layered composite structure design, this patented technology achieves a comprehensive improvement in the performance of the glass cover 100, providing a more reliable and advanced protection solution for electronic products.

[0032] Example 2, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The present invention provides a liquid crystal display screen, which includes a coated cover plate 100 for improving light transmittance and hardness as described above, a display module 200 is disposed below the coated cover plate 100 for improving light transmittance and hardness, and a backlight module 300 is disposed below the display module 200.

[0033] Furthermore, the backlight module 300 includes a lower frame 2 and a light guide plate 3. The lower frame 2 includes a base plate 21 and a side wall 22 extending upward from the edge of the base plate 21. At least two material extraction slots 23 are formed downward on the upper surface of the base plate 21. The excess material of the base plate 21 between adjacent material extraction slots 23 forms a reinforcing rib 24. The base plate 21 located inside the side wall 22 extends upward to form a supporting part 25. The supporting part 25 is perpendicular to the base plate 21, and the height of the supporting part 25 is lower than the height of the side wall 22. The light guide plate 3 is disposed on the supporting part 25. Reinforcing ribs 24 are formed between the material extraction grooves 23. These not only prevent injection molding shrinkage and material reduction, but also enhance the strength of the lower frame 2. Since the base plate 21 is also provided with a support part 25, and the light guide plate 3 is supported by the support part 25, and since the support part 25 extends upward from the base plate 21, its height is higher than that of the base plate 21 and the reinforcing ribs 24, so the light guide plate 3 no longer directly contacts the reinforcing ribs 24, thereby preventing the burrs on the reinforcing ribs 24 from scratching the light guide plate 3. When the lower frame 2 is slightly deformed, its height can also prevent the reinforcing ribs 24 from squeezing the light guide plate 3, thus preventing damage to the light guide plate 3. The backlight module 300 provided by this utility model allows the material extraction grooves 23 to be located on the inner surface of the lower frame 2, which makes the backlight module 300 more aesthetically pleasing; it can also prevent injection molding shrinkage, reduce material usage, and enhance the strength of the lower frame 2, while also preventing the reinforcing ribs 24 from damaging the light guide plate 3, thus avoiding damage to the light guide plate 3.

[0034] Furthermore, the edge of the support portion 25 is provided with a chamfer, which can be a right angle or a rounded corner. The right angle and the rounded corner can remove burrs to prevent the burrs of the support portion 25 from scratching the light guide plate 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the material chute 23 is polygonal in shape. More preferably, the material chute 23 is hexagonal in shape, which provides better strength than the conventional rectangular lower frame 2.

[0036] Of course, the structure described in this utility model can also be applied to a backlight module 300 with a light guide plate 3 that is thin at one end and thick at the other. The bottom plate 21 of the lower frame 2 can be inclined. The bearing portion 25 extending upward on the bottom plate 21 also has an inclined surface with the same slope as the bottom plate 21. A material removal groove 23 is provided on the bottom plate 21, which can still prevent the reinforcing rib 24 formed by the material removal groove 23 from damaging the light guide plate 3. It should also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application. This application can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
