Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frameless LCD TV technology, specifically a frameless LCD TV with left and right covers that obscure the COF (Chip-on-Foil). Background Technology

[0002] COF, often referred to as flip-chip film, is a die-on flexible film packaging technology that fixes integrated circuits onto flexible circuit boards. It uses a flexible attached circuit board as a chip carrier to combine the chip with the flexible substrate circuit. Alternatively, it can refer to a flexible attached circuit board without a packaged chip. This includes tape-and-roll packaging (TAB substrate, whose process is called TCP), flexible board-to-chip assembly, and flexible IC carrier board packaging.

[0003] A borderless LCD TV, as the name suggests, refers to a TV with an extremely narrow or even completely eliminated screen bezel, making it virtually imperceptible to viewers and providing a more immersive visual experience. This design not only enhances the TV's aesthetics but also allows viewers to focus more intently on the screen content, thus strengthening the viewing immersion.

[0004] In traditional LCD TVs, the COF (Chip on Flex) is a crucial component connecting the screen and the motherboard, typically located below or to the side of the screen. However, in bezel-less LCD TVs, the extremely narrow bezel design can limit the traditional COF layout and even negatively impact the overall aesthetics.

[0005] Therefore, we urgently need to provide a frameless LCD TV with left and right covers that block the COF (Chip Frame). Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a frameless LCD TV with left and right covers that block the COF (Chip-on-Foil) element, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that in frameless LCD TVs, the traditional COF layout may be limited by space due to the extremely narrow bezel design, and may even affect the aesthetics of the whole machine.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a frameless LCD TV with left and right covers that block the COF, including a bracket, a protective structure installed on the top of the bracket, and a component structure installed on the back of the protective structure.

[0008] The protective structure includes a body unit and a snap-fit ​​protective unit, which is installed on the left and right sides of the body unit.

[0009] The snap-fit ​​protection unit includes snap-fit ​​strips, two snap-fit ​​strips with protective covers installed on opposite sides, two protective covers with buckles installed in the middle of opposite sides, and two protective covers with limit blocks installed on the back side of opposite sides.

[0010] Preferably, the body unit includes a display screen, a protective shell is connected to the outer surface and back of the display screen, a bottom cover is installed on the bottom surface of the protective shell, and a power supply is installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the bottom cover.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the protective shell is detachably connected to the top surface of the bracket, the snap-fit ​​strip is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the protective shell, the outer surface of the buckle is snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole in the middle of the two snap-fit ​​strips, and the outer surface of the limiting block is snapped into the rectangular groove at one end of the back side of the two snap-fit ​​strips on opposite sides.

[0012] Preferably, the part structure includes a part box, a hanging slot is provided on the back of the part box near the top, and speakers are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the part box.

[0013] Preferably, the parts box is fixedly installed in the middle of the back of the protective shell, and the speaker is installed at the bottom of the back of the protective shell near the left and right ends.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This frameless LCD TV with left and right covers that shield the COF (Chip-on-Flat) uses a protective structure. The two protective covers are engaged with two locking strips on both sides of the protective shell via buckles and limiting blocks, thereby shielding the COF installed on the screen. This effectively protects the COF while ensuring an extremely narrow bezel design for the TV and maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A frameless LCD TV with left and right covers that block the COF (Chip-on-Foil) includes a bracket 1, a protective structure mounted on the top of the bracket 1, and a component structure mounted on the back of the protective structure.

[0025] The protective structure includes a body unit and a snap-fit ​​protective unit. The snap-fit ​​protective unit is installed on the left and right sides of the body unit. The snap-fit ​​protective unit includes snap-fit ​​strips 105. A protective cover 106 is installed on the side of the two snap-fit ​​strips 105 that are far apart from each other. A buckle 107 is installed in the middle of the side of the two protective covers 106 that are close to each other. A limit block 108 is installed at the end of the side of the two protective covers 106 that are close to each other and near the back. The body unit includes a display screen 101. A protective shell 102 is connected to the outer surface and back of the display screen 101. A bottom cover 103 is installed on the bottom surface of the protective shell 102. A power supply 104 is installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the bottom cover 103.

[0026] The bottom surface of the protective shell 102 is detachably connected to the top of the bracket 1. The snap-fit ​​strips 105 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the protective shell 102. The outer surface of the buckle 107 is snapped into the middle of the two snap-fit ​​strips 105 through snap-fit ​​holes. The outer surface of the limiting block 108 is snapped into the back end of the two snap-fit ​​strips 105 through a rectangular groove on the opposite side.

[0027] The component structure includes a component box 201, with a mounting slot 202 on the back of the component box 201 near the top, and speakers 203 on the bottom left and right sides of the component box 201. The component box 201 is fixedly installed in the middle of the back of the protective shell 102, and the speakers 203 are installed on the bottom of the back of the protective shell 102 near the left and right ends.

[0028] By setting up a protective structure, two protective covers 106 are engaged with two snap-fit ​​strips 105 on both sides of the protective shell 102 via buckles 107 and limiting blocks 108, thereby shielding the COF installed on the display screen 101. This effectively protects the COF while ensuring an extremely narrow bezel design for the TV and maintaining aesthetics.

[0029] Working principle: During the production and assembly of the television, the layout of the COF (Chip-on-Flat) may vary depending on the installation of the front display screen 101. The COF may be installed on the right or left side of the display screen 101. Therefore, during the assembly process, two snap-fit ​​strips 105 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the protective shell 102, and snap-fit ​​holes are opened in the middle of the two snap-fit ​​strips 105 on the opposite side. A rectangular groove is opened at one end of the back of the two snap-fit ​​strips 105 on the opposite side. The two protective covers 106 are then secured by snap-fit ​​buckles 107 and limiting blocks 108. This achieves the shielding and protection of the COF on the left or right side of the display screen 101, while also satisfying the ultra-narrow bezel design of the television after assembly, ensuring its aesthetic appeal.
