[0038] In order to enable personnel in the technical field to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] As described in the background art, as shown in Figure 9 , the TFT FPC1-1 is to be bent to the back and connected to the customer's mainboard, and the bending area 1-2 is designed with a single-layer wiring. The single-layer wiring area is relatively thin and soft, easy to bend, and has a small rebound force after bending, which is very helpful to the TFT MURA. However, the disadvantage is that the wiring at this position is not covered by GND (ground) and is more susceptible to ESD interference, and has poor anti-static performance.

[0040] In order to solve this technical problem, the present application provides a reinforced ESD structure for a TFT FPC bending area, which is applied to a TFT.

[0041] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-9 , the reinforced ESD structure for the TFT FPC bending area specifically includes a TFT FPC2 bound with an LCD module 1, the TFT FPC2 has a single-layer wiring area 3 at a position close to the LCD module 1, and the TFT FPC2 is a multi-layer wiring area 4 except for the single-layer wiring area 3.

[0042] Wherein, the single-layer wiring area 3 is provided with a ground wire 31 for protecting the easily disturbed power supply line, the width of the ground wire 31 is less than the width of the single-layer wiring area 3, and the two ends of the ground wire 31 are respectively connected to the main ground of the multi-layer wiring area 4.

[0043] The reinforcing ESD structure for the bending area of the TFT FPC is characterized in that a ground wire 31 is arranged on the power supply wire of the single-layer wire area 3 which is prone to interference, so that the power supply input is not easily interfered by external ESD, and the ground wire and the main ground of the multi-layer wire area 4 of the TFT FPC 2 are connected together, so that the ESD resistance of the bending area of the TFT FPC 2 is improved, and the ground wire 31 is relatively narrow and does not affect the bending flexibility of the TFT FPC 2.

[0044] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical scheme of the present application, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0046] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0047] Embodiment one

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1-9 A reinforcing ESD structure for a bending area of a TFT FPC, comprising a TFT FPC 2 bound with an LCD module 1, the TFT FPC 2 having a single-layer wire area 3 near the LCD module 1, and the TFT FPC 2 having a multi-layer wire area 4 except the single-layer wire area 3.

[0049] The single-layer wire area 3 is provided with a ground wire 31 for protecting the power supply wire which is prone to interference, the width of the ground wire 31 is less than the width of the single-layer wire area 3, and the two ends of the ground wire 31 are connected with the main ground of the multi-layer wire area 4.

[0050] The ground wire 31 has a plurality of ground wires 31 which are equally distributed in the single-layer wire area 3.

[0051] The position and number of the ground wire 31 in the single-layer wire area 3 are correspondingly distributed according to the actual wire to be protected, and cannot be too many to cause too much stress after bending, and can be adaptively adjusted according to specific conditions.

[0052] Embodiment two

[0053] The reinforcing ESD structure for the bending area of the TFT FPC provided in embodiment one is further optimized, specifically as Figure 3 ,4 And 5, the single layer wiring area 3 and the junction of the multi-layer wiring area 4 are covered and pasted with a protective element 5

[0054] The protective element 5 includes an EMI shielding film 51, wherein one side of the EMI shielding film 51 has a pasting surface 52, and the other side has a protective surface 53;

[0055] The pasting surface 52 of the EMI shielding film 51 is paved with an adhesive layer 54, and the EMI shielding film 51 is pasted to the multi-layer wiring area 4 at the edge of the single-layer wiring area 3 through the adhesive layer 54, for covering and protecting the position of the single-layer wiring area 3;

[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment, the EMI shielding film 51 is attached after the TFT FPC 2 is bent and connected, and the bending area remains relatively stable as a whole. The attachment of the EMI shielding film 51 can cover and protect the junction of the single-layer wiring area 3 and the multi-layer wiring area 4, thereby facilitating further protection of the wire body in the single-layer wiring area 3 and realizing more stable application.

[0057] Embodiment Three

[0058] The ESD structure for reinforcing the bending area of the TFT FPC provided in Embodiment One or Two is further optimized, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The protective element 5 further includes a conductive double-sided adhesive 55, which is pasted to the surface of the corresponding ground wire 31, wherein the other pasting surface of the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 is pasted to the adhesive layer 54;

[0059] The conductive double-sided adhesive 55 in the embodiment is in a long strip shape, which is correspondingly pasted and covered on the top of the ground wire 31;

[0060] In actual application, the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 is first pasted on the surface of the ground wire 31 after the TFT FPC 2 is bent and connected. The conductive double-sided adhesive 55 in the embodiment completely covers the surface of the ground wire 31, and then the external EMI shielding film 51 is attached, so that the EMI shielding film 51 is pasted to the other pasting surface of the conductive double-sided adhesive 55;

[0061] Through the design of the conductive double-sided adhesive 55, the ground wire 31 can be covered and protected, ensuring the stability of its electrostatic protection, and at the same time, it can form a connection with the EMI shielding film 51 (the bonding surface 52 itself has conductivity), and then it can guide the static electricity in the other non-ground wire 31 covered area in the single-layer wiring area 3 to a certain extent, so that it is guided into the ground wire 31 for transmission and release, which is conducive to further improving the anti-static ability of the single-layer wiring area 3.

[0062] Embodiment Four

[0063] The ESD structure for the bending area of the TFT FPC provided in Embodiment Three is further optimized, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 is in a square shape, and the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 on each ground wire 31 is distributed at the top of both ends.

[0064] The adhesive layer 54 is not bonded to the single-layer wiring area 3 except for the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 and the multi-layer wiring area 4.

[0065] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Three is that the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 in this embodiment is in a square shape. After the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 is bonded, there is no connection between the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 at both ends of the ground wire 31, so there is no stress generated, which will not affect the flexible bending of the bending area.

[0066] The square-shaped conductive double-sided adhesive 55 can be bonded to the ends of the ground wire 31 after the TFT FPC 2 is bent and connected, and then covered with the corresponding EMI shielding film 51. The specific shape of the conductive double-sided adhesive 55 needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0067] Embodiment Five

[0068] The ESD structure for the bending area of the TFT FPC provided in Embodiment Four is further optimized, as shown in Figure 1 , the LCD module 1 has a binding position 11, one end of the TFT FPC 2 has a binding end 21, and the TFT FPC 2 is connected to the binding position 11 on the LCD module 1 through the binding end 21. Specifically, the other end of the TFT FPC 2 also has a binding area, which is used to connect to the external mainboard, so that a bending will be generated after the connection.
