[0023] REFERENCE Figure 2 and 3 The utility model provides a liquid crystal display drive module, include: drive module, drive module includes a plurality of drive boards of laminated arrangement, every drive board top is equipped with first connector 3, a plurality of drive boards staggered arrangement, so that the first connector 3 on the lower drive board is located in the one end of upper drive board.

[0024] In order to explain the liquid crystal display drive module of this embodiment in detail, the utility model further provides an electronic paper, including the liquid crystal display drive module described above.Specifically, it further includes a display module, the display module includes a plurality of liquid crystal structures 10, and each drive board is connected with a liquid crystal structure 10.Each liquid crystal structure is connected with the outside through the drive board.After assembly, the plurality of drive boards are stacked in turn, and the first connectors thereon are staggered in turn, so that the thickness of the drive module in the first connector area is only the thickness of the plurality of drive boards and one first connector.

[0025] In the embodiment, the liquid crystal display drive module proposed, the drive module includes a plurality of drive boards of laminated arrangement, every drive board top is equipped with first connector, a plurality of drive boards staggered arrangement, so that the first connector 3 on the lower drive board is located in the one end of upper drive board. Through the connector and the drive board staggered arrangement, avoid the interference of the connector and the drive board in the stacking process, and effectively reduce the thickness of the multi-layer module stacking structure, and then reduce the thickness of the whole machine, facilitate the drive board to be loaded and taken out, and facilitate subsequent whole machine assembly.

[0026] REFERENCE Figure 1 In the specific embodiment of the drive module, when two sensors are arranged on the drive module, in order to facilitate the connection of the connector with the outside, the two sensors can be arranged in different directions of the drive board.When color display is realized through the plurality of liquid crystal structures, the second connector needs to be controlled for different colors.For example, when three layers of liquid crystal structures correspond to red, green and blue respectively, in order to meet the RGB color mixing effect of three layers of liquid crystal display, the second connectors of different layers need to be arranged at specified positions.Therefore, through the staggered arrangement of the drive board, the second connector cannot be accommodated.At this time, the thickness of the drive module in the second connector area is the thickness of the plurality of drive boards and the plurality of second connectors.Meanwhile, in order to avoid the existence of the second connector between the adjacent two layers of drive boards, causing the distance between different layers to be different, causing the second connector to be unbalanced in stress.Usually, a plurality of second connectors are arranged on the lower drive, for balancing the distance and stress between the two layers of drive boards, wherein, in addition to the main second connector of the drive board being used for connection, the other second connectors are arranged corresponding to the main second connectors of other layers, and are in an idle state.

[0027] To solve the above problems, in a specific design, each driving plate is further provided with a second connector 4, the second connectors 4 of the plurality of driving plates are staggered, and the upper driving plate is provided with a let-out opening 6 for accommodating the second connector 4 of the lower driving plate. When assembled, the second connector on each lower driving plate is located in the corresponding let-out opening above, and the plurality of driving plates are sequentially stacked, so that the thickness of the driving module in the second connector area is the thickness of the plurality of driving plates and one second connector. At the same time, since the upper and lower driving plates are stacked, the distance and stress between them are balanced, and there is no need to additionally provide an idle second connector, which reduces the thickness and reduces the cost of the device.

[0028] Taking a red-green-blue three-layer liquid crystal structure as an example, the lowermost driving plate of the second driving module is provided with one second connector, the middle driving plate is provided with one second connector and one let-out notch for accommodating the second connector of the lower driving plate, and the uppermost driving plate is provided with one second connector and two let-out notches for accommodating the second connectors of the lower driving plates.

The first driving module includes a plurality of first driving plates 1 stacked, and the second driving module includes a plurality of second driving plates 2 stacked, the first driving plates 1 and the second driving plates 2 are arranged one by one, and the first connectors 3 of the corresponding driving plates are connected by a flexible circuit board 5; the second driving plate 2 is further provided with a second connector 4, and the upper second driving plate 2 is provided with a let-out opening for accommodating the second connector 4 of the lower second driving plate 2. The display module and the driving module are arranged reasonably. Specifically, the first connectors 3 on the first driving plates 1 and the second driving plates 2 are oppositely arranged. The first connectors on the corresponding driving plates of the two driving modules are oppositely arranged and connected by FPC. The plurality of second connectors 4 are sequentially arranged away from the first connectors 3.

[0030] Referring to Figure 5 , in order to improve the space utilization rate of the driving module in the entire electronic paper, the lengths of the plurality of driving plates gradually decrease from top to bottom, so that the plurality of driving plates stacked from top to bottom are sequentially staggered and arranged in steps at the position of the first connector, and aligned with the display module at the edge of the module. When the electronic paper includes two driving modules, the driving plates of the two driving modules are respectively aligned with the edges of the display module on both sides, so as to ensure the maximum screen ratio.
