Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of liquid crystal displays, and in particular to a narrow bezel backlight structure for a liquid crystal display screen. Background Technology

[0002] An LED LCD screen is a display screen that combines LED backlighting technology and LCD technology. It uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the backlight source, and by controlling the brightness and color of the LEDs, it provides uniform and bright backlighting to the LCD screen, thereby improving the display effect of the LCD screen.

[0003] Typically, TFTs have their driver ICs bonded to the glass, resulting in a relatively large bezel on the IC side. This bezel serves as the placement edge for edge-lit LED backlights, so the narrow bezel usually refers to the non-light source side. Some TFTs, especially small-sized circular TFTs, have their driver ICs bonded to the FPC, requiring all edges to be narrow. Therefore, for TFTs with driver ICs not on the glass, only direct-lit backlighting can meet the requirement of a consistently narrow bezel. However, direct-lit backlighting has lower luminous efficiency, leading to more heat generation and reduced product reliability. Furthermore, direct-lit backlighting typically uses more LEDs to achieve brightness and uniformity, resulting in higher costs.

[0004] This solution provides a side-lit backlight that can meet the requirement of a consistently narrow bezel across the entire frame. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a narrow bezel backlight structure for a liquid crystal display screen.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner side of the second LED light source is far from the inner side of the frame, and the width of the second LED light source is smaller than the width of the frame.

[0029] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 :

[0030] A narrow bezel backlight structure for a liquid crystal display includes: a TFT screen 1, which is circular; a display area 2, located in the center of the TFT screen 1; a bezel 3, located on the outer side of the TFT screen 1; and an LED light source, which may be an LED light source 4, located at the bottom of one side of the bezel 3. The LED light source 4 has an arc-shaped design, with the outer arc of the LED light source 4 having the same curvature as the outer arc of the bezel 3. The outer arc of the LED light source 4 and the outer arc of the bezel 3 are on the same arc line. The inner edge of the LED light source 4 is far from the inner edge of the bezel 3, and the width of the LED light source 4 is smaller than the width of the bezel 3.

[0031] Specifically, by setting an arc-shaped LED light source 4 on the frame 3, and making the outer edge of the LED light source 4 and the outer edge of the frame 3 on the same arc, the narrow frame requirement of the product can be met, as well as the light source requirement of the product. This method is more suitable for small-sized circular TFTs. Moreover, this method has higher luminous efficiency, can meet the brightness and uniformity requirements, and has a lower cost compared to direct-lit backlighting.

[0032] Example 2, please refer to Figure 2 :

[0033] The LED light source can also be LED light source 25, which is set at the upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right corners of the frame 3; the outer edge of LED light source 25 is on the same arc as the outer edge of the frame 3; the inner edge of LED light source 25 is far away from the inner edge of the frame 3, and the width of LED light source 25 is less than the width of the frame 3.

[0034] Specifically, to meet different usage needs, since the frame 3 is not limited by the placement of LED light sources, multiple LED light sources 2 5 can be set. The LED light sources 2 5 are evenly distributed on the frame 3 to increase brightness and meet uniformity requirements.

[0035] Example 3, please refer to Figure 3 :

[0036] The LED light source can also be LED light source 36, which is circular and set around the frame 3; the outer edge of LED light source 36 is on the same arc as the outer edge of frame 3; the inner edge of LED light source 36 is far away from the inner edge of frame 3, and the width of LED light source 36 is smaller than the width of frame 3.

[0037] Specifically, to meet different usage needs, since the frame 3 is not limited by the placement of the LED light source, a ring-shaped LED light source 6 can also be set. The LED light source 6 is arranged in a ring on the frame 3 to increase brightness and meet uniformity requirements.

[0038] In another embodiment, the above-described solution can also be extended to other irregularly shaped or non-circular products, such as... Figure 4 Irregularly shaped TFT screens will have dark areas when using ordinary LED point light sources, while using... Figure 5 After the curved LED light source is installed, LEDs can be placed in the dark areas to effectively illuminate the dark areas, thereby increasing the brightness and uniformity of the entire irregularly shaped TFT screen.

[0039] In summary, LED light sources can be manufactured into irregularly shaped LEDs to meet the needs of light sources of different shapes.

[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
