Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display module and terminal device. Background Technology

[0002] In current display modules, connectors are required to be attached to the bonding terminals of the display panel to input signals into the display panel. Existing technology typically places the connectors between the circuit board and the bonding terminals; the connectors are connected to the circuit board, and the circuit board drives the connectors to control the display panel.

[0003] However, the ends of the connectors are not covered with a protective coating and are exposed to the air. When the entire unit is submerged in water or in an acidic environment, the ends of the connectors will be corroded, and the corrosion will continue to penetrate along the circuit, eventually leading to bonding failure, abnormal signal transmission between the connectors and the display panel, and abnormal image display. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a display module and terminal device that aims to reduce the problem of corrosion failure at the first end of the second conductive layer.

[0006] In some embodiments, the conductive film includes a first sub-film facing the display area and a second sub-film relatively far from the display area, the first sub-film being in contact with a first end of the second conductive layer, and the second sub-film being located between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer.

[0007] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a panel body, the panel body including a first connecting surface facing the protective layer, the panel body having a first groove recessed relative to the first connecting surface, and at least a portion of the first conductive layer being embedded in the first groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer includes a third end facing the display area and a fourth end relatively far from the display area, with portions of the third end and the fourth end exposed outside the first connection surface; a first sub-film of the conductive film contacts the portion of the third end, and a second sub-film of the conductive film contacts the portion of the fourth end.

[0009] In some embodiments, the protective layer extends toward the display area beyond the first end and covers the first end.

[0010] In some embodiments, the protective layer includes a second connecting surface facing the display panel, and the protective layer has a second groove recessed relative to the second connecting surface; the second conductive layer is embedded in the second groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the protective layer includes a first protective portion and a second protective portion, the first protective portion being in contact with a first end of the second conductive layer, and the second protective portion being in contact with a second end of the second conductive layer; the conductive film extends toward the display area beyond the first end, and the first protective portion is in contact with the conductive film.

[0012] In some embodiments, the device further includes: a circuit board located on the side of the second conductive layer facing the display panel and connected to the second conductive layer, wherein the circuit board and the conductive film have a gap area between them.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second conductive layer includes an exposed portion exposed to the spacer region, the exposed portion having a gap with the display panel; the display module further includes: a sealant, at least partially located within the gap and disposed at a second end covering the conductive film, and disposed covering the exposed portion of the second conductive layer.

[0014] This application also provides a terminal device, including the display module in any of the above embodiments.

[0015] In the display module provided in this application, since the conductive film extends into the display area beyond the first end and covers the first end, the conductive film can be used to protect the first end of the second conductive layer, thereby reducing the problem of corrosion failure of the second conductive layer. Alternatively, the protective layer extends into the display area beyond the first end, so the protective layer can be used to shield the first end, thereby reducing the problem of corrosion failure of the second conductive layer.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a display module provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0037] The display module includes a display panel 10, a connector 20, and a conductive film 30. The connector 20 is connected to the first conductive layer 11 of the display panel 10 through the conductive film 30. The connector 20 includes a second conductive layer 21 and a protective layer 22. The second conductive layer 21 is located on the side of the protective layer 22 facing the first conductive layer 11.

[0038] In this design, the front end 21a (left end as shown in the figure) of the second conductive layer 21 of the connector 20 is flush with one end of the protective layer 22, resulting in the front end 21a of the second conductive layer 21 being exposed. When the conductive film 30 is bonded to the first conductive layer 11 of the display panel 10, the front end 21a (left end as shown in the figure) of the first conductive layer 11 is flush with one end of the conductive film 30.

[0039] When the entire machine is submerged in water or in an acidic environment, the front end 21a of the second conductive layer 21 is corroded, and the corrosion continues to penetrate along the line, eventually leading to bonding failure. This causes abnormal signal transmission between the connector 20 and the display panel 10, resulting in abnormal screen display and other phenomena.

[0040] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a display module comprising: a display panel including a display area and a bonding area adjacent to the display area; the display panel including a first conductive layer located in the bonding area; a protective layer and a second conductive layer, the second conductive layer being located on the side of the protective layer facing the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer including a first end facing the display area and a second end relatively far from the display area; and a conductive film connecting the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer; wherein the conductive film extends toward the display area beyond the first end and covers the first end; or the protective layer extends toward the display area beyond the first end.

[0041] Since the conductive film extends beyond the first end into the display area and covers the first end, it can be used to protect the first end of the second conductive layer, thereby reducing the problem of corrosion failure of the second conductive layer. Alternatively, the protective layer extends beyond the first end into the display area, thus shielding the first end and reducing the problem of corrosion failure of the second conductive layer, thereby reducing signal transmission abnormalities and image abnormalities.

[0042] The structure of the display module provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a display module provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0044] The display module 100 includes a display panel 10, a second conductive layer 21, a protective layer 22, and a conductive film 30. The display panel 10 includes a display area 101 and a bonding area 102 adjacent to the display area 101. The display panel 10 includes a first conductive layer 11 located in the bonding area 102. The second conductive layer 21 is located on the side of the protective layer 22 facing the first conductive layer 11. The second conductive layer 21 includes a first end 211 facing the display area 101 and a second end 212 relatively far from the display area 101. The conductive film 30 connects the first conductive layer 11 and the second conductive layer 21. The conductive film 30 extends into the display area 101 beyond the first end 211 and covers the first end 211; or the protective layer 22 extends into the display area 101 beyond the first end 211.

[0045] It is understood that the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21 includes at least the following: Figure 2 The sidewall of the second conductive layer 21 shown, and the second end 212 of the second conductive layer 21 include at least the following: Figure 2 The other sidewall of the second conductive layer 21 is shown. The first end 211 is closer to the display area 101 than the second end 212, and the second end 212 is farther away from the display area 101 than the first end 211, that is, the distance of the first end 211 from the display area 101 is less than the distance of the second end 212 from the display area 101.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second conductive layer 21 and the protective layer 22 may form a connector 20 for connecting the circuit board and the display panel 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the protective layer 22 is stepped, that is, the protective layer 22 covers the second end 212 of the second conductive layer 21, thereby protecting the second end 212 from the external environment.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer 11 of the display panel 10 is a first pad.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second conductive layer 21 includes a circuit structure, and a portion of the second conductive layer 21 connected to the conductive film 30 is a second pad, with the first pad and the second pad connected through the conductive film 30.

[0050] In some embodiments, the conductive film 30 is an anisotropic conductive film (ACF), which is conductive and also has the ability to isolate external water and oxygen. The conductive film 30 can also be other types of conductive adhesive, and this application does not limit it.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the conductive film 30 extends toward the display area 101 beyond the first end 211 and covers the first end 211.

[0052] In other words, the conductive film 30 is not only located between the first conductive layer 11 and the second conductive layer 21, but also extends from the bonding area 102 to the display area 101 until it exceeds the first end 211, that is, the end of the conductive film 30 is not flush with the first end 211.

[0053] It should be noted that "extending to the display area 101" does not mean extending into the display area 101, but rather extending beyond the first end 211.

[0054] In some embodiments, the conductive film 30 can be a conductive adhesive, which will be squeezed during the bonding process, causing the portion of the conductive film 30 extending beyond the first end 211 to cover the first end 211, thereby protecting the first end 211 from the external environment. Furthermore, the conductive film 30 covering the first end 211 also increases the contact area between the second conductive layer 21 and the conductive film 30, thereby improving conductivity.

[0055] For example, the conductive film 30 includes a first sub-film 31 facing the display area 101 and a second sub-film 32 relatively far from the display area 101. The first sub-film 31 is in contact with a first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21, and the second sub-film 32 is located between the first conductive layer 11 and the second conductive layer 21. In other words, the conductive film 30 includes two connected parts: the first sub-film 31 is used to isolate the first end 211 from the external environment, while the second sub-film 32 is used to realize the electrical connection between the first conductive layer 11 and the second conductive layer 21.

[0056] The first sub-film 31 is closer to the display area 101 than the second sub-film 32, and the second sub-film 32 is farther away from the display area 101 than the first sub-film 31. That is, the distance between the first sub-film 31 and the display area 101 is less than the distance between the second sub-film 32 and the display area 101.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first sub-film 31 has a larger dimension along the film thickness direction than the second sub-film 32, so that the first sub-film 31 can contact the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21. The film thickness direction is perpendicular to the direction from the bonding region 102 to the display region 101.

[0058] The direction from the binding area 102 to the display area 101 is defined as the first direction X. The dimension of the first sub-film 31 along the first direction X can be greater than 0 and less than 0.5 mm. For example, the dimension of the first sub-film 31 along the first direction X is 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.4 mm. Within this range, the area occupied by the first sub-film 31 can be minimized.

[0059] In some embodiments, the display panel 10 further includes a panel body 12, the panel body 12 including a first connecting surface 121 (i.e., the upper surface shown in the figure) facing the protective layer 22, the panel body 12 having a first groove 122 recessed relative to the first connecting surface 121, and at least a portion of the first conductive layer 11 being embedded in the first groove 122.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the first conductive layer 11 is completely embedded in the first groove 122, and the upper surface of the first conductive layer 11 is flush with the first connecting surface 121 of the panel body 12. In this way, the panel body 12 can protect the left and right ends of the first conductive layer 11 from corrosion by the external environment. Since the conductive film 30 completely covers the upper surface of the first conductive layer 11, it can reduce the corrosion of the first conductive layer 11 while achieving electrical connection.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first sub-film 31 of the conductive film 30 is in contact with the first connecting surface 121 of the panel body 12, and the second sub-film 32 of the conductive film 30 is in contact with the first conductive layer 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, the surface of the first sub-film 31 away from the panel body 12 (i.e., the upper surface shown in the figure) is not lower than the surface of the second conductive layer 21 facing the protective layer (i.e., the upper surface shown in the figure), so as to improve the protective effect of the first sub-film 31 on the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21.

[0063] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a display module provided in some embodiments of this application. This embodiment is related to... Figure 2 The difference in the Chinese embodiment lies in the first conductive layer 11.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, due to manufacturing process reasons, the upper surface of the first conductive layer 11 and the upper surface of the display panel 10 may be inconsistent in height. For example, the first conductive layer 11 may only be partially embedded in the panel body 12.

[0065] The first conductive layer 11 includes a third end 111 facing the display area 101 and a fourth end 112 relatively far from the display area 101, with portions of the third end 111 and the fourth end 112 exposed outside the first connecting surface 121. The distance between the third end 111 and the display area 101 is less than the distance between the fourth end 112 and the display area 101.

[0066] The first sub-film 31 of the conductive film 30 contacts the third end 111 of the portion, and the second sub-film 32 of the conductive film 30 contacts the fourth end 112 of the portion. In this way, the conductive film 30 can also protect the third end 111 and the fourth end 112 of the first conductive layer 11. That is, the conductive film 30 can not only protect the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21, but also protect the end of the first conductive layer 11 at the same time.

[0067] In some embodiments, the display module further includes a circuit board 40, which is located on the side of the second conductive layer 21 facing the display panel 10 and is connected to the second conductive layer 21. There is a gap between the circuit board 40 and the conductive film 30.

[0068] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conductive film 30 is connected to the lower surface of the second conductive layer 21 near the first end 211, and the circuit board 40 is connected to the lower surface of the second conductive layer 21 near the second end 212. Therefore, the second conductive layer 21 is exposed at the position corresponding to the interval area, and the second conductive layer 21 includes an exposed portion 213 exposed in the interval area. The panel body 12 extends from the position corresponding to the first conductive layer 11 in a direction closer to the display area 101 (i.e., the first direction X), and the circuit board 40 extends from the position corresponding to the second conductive layer 21 in a direction away from the display area 101 (i.e., the opposite direction of the first direction X).

[0069] In some embodiments, since the conductive film 30 is located between the first conductive layer 11 and the second conductive layer 21, there is a gap between the exposed portion 213 and the display panel 10 (specifically the panel body 12).

[0070] The display module also includes a sealant 50, which is at least partially located within the gap and covers the second end 212 of the conductive film 30 and the exposed portion 213 of the second conductive layer 21. In this way, the sealant 50 can protect the exposed portion 213 of the second conductive layer 21 from the external environment, and the sealant 50 filling the gap also provides some support for the connector 20.

[0071] In one embodiment, a sealant can be applied to the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21 to isolate it from the external environment. However, the sealant occupies a large volume, which can affect the assembly between the connector 20 and the display panel 10 provided by the customer, thus affecting the compatibility between the connector 20 and the display panel 10. Furthermore, the display panel 10 may also include a middle frame surrounding the display area 101, and the first end 211 is located close to the display area 101. Due to the large volume of the sealant, the middle frame is prone to collision with the sealant, which could affect product quality.

[0072] Based on the above problems, this embodiment of the application utilizes the extension of the conductive film 30 or the protective layer 22 to protect the first end 211, and provides sealant 50 to protect the exposed portion 213 of the second conductive layer 21, thereby achieving all-round protection for the second conductive layer 21. This not only improves the compatibility between the connector 20 and the display panel 10, but also prevents the middle frame in the display panel 10 from colliding with the sealant, thereby improving product quality.

[0073] In some embodiments, the sealant 50 also extends to the lower surface of the circuit board 40, thereby increasing the adhesion between the second conductive layer 21 and the circuit board 40.

[0074] In some embodiments, the sealant 50 may also extend to the side of the panel body 12 to enhance the support effect.

[0075] In some embodiments, the protective layer 22 may be a flexible layer or made of other materials, used to protect the second conductive layer 21 and the circuit board 40.

[0076] When manufacturing the connector 20, a protective layer 22 is first formed, then a second conductive layer 21 is formed within the protective layer 22, and finally the circuit board 40 is attached. When manufacturing the display panel 10, the panel body 12 is first formed, then a first conductive layer 11 is formed within the panel body 12. During bonding, the connector 20 can be bonded to the conductive film 30 first, then the conductive film 30 can be bonded to the first conductive layer 11, and finally the sealant 50 is filled into the gap.

[0077] The display module may also include a driver chip 60, which is located on the upper surface of the panel body 12 and is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 11.

[0078] The display module may also include a back plate 70, which is located on the lower surface of the panel body 12 and serves to support the panel body 12.

[0079] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a display module provided in some embodiments of this application. This embodiment is related to... Figure 1The difference in the Chinese embodiment lies in the protective layer 22.

[0080] The protective layer 22 extends into the display area 101 beyond the first end 211 and covers the first end 211. Therefore, by extending the protective layer 22, the first end 211 is shielded, thereby reducing the problem of corrosion failure of the second conductive layer 21.

[0081] In addition, the protective layer 22 needs to be cut after it is manufactured. In this embodiment, since the protective layer 22 extends beyond the first end 211, there is a gap between the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21 and the edge of the protective layer 22. Therefore, the cutting of the protective layer 22 will not cut the second conductive layer 21, thereby solving the problem of unevenness of the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21 caused by cutting.

[0082] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a display module provided in some embodiments of this application. This embodiment is related to... Figure 4 The difference in the Chinese embodiment lies in the protective layer 22 and the conductive film 30.

[0083] The protective layer 22 includes a second connecting surface 221 facing the display panel 10, and has a second groove 222 recessed relative to the second connecting surface 221. The second conductive layer 21 is embedded in the second groove 222. Therefore, the protective layer 22 can not only protect the second end 212 from the external environment, but also protect the first end 211 from the external environment.

[0084] For example, the protective layer 22 includes a first protective portion 22a and a second protective portion 22b. The first protective portion 22a is in contact with the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21, and the second protective portion 22b is in contact with the second end 212 of the second conductive layer 21.

[0085] In some embodiments, the conductive film 30 extends into the display area 101 beyond the first end portion 211, and the first protective portion 22a contacts the conductive film 30. Therefore, the conductive film 30 can support the first protective portion 22a and further improve the isolation effect between the first end portion 211 and the external environment.

[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, the thickness (i.e., the dimension along the thickness direction of the film) of the conductive film 30 is equal at all locations.

[0087] In the display module provided in this application embodiment, since the conductive film 30 extends into the display area 101 beyond the first end 211 and covers the first end 211, the conductive film 30 can be used to protect the first end 211 of the second conductive layer 21, thereby reducing the problem of corrosion failure of the second conductive layer 21. Alternatively, the protective layer 22 extends into the display area 101 beyond the first end 211, so the protective layer 22 can be used to shield the first end 211, thereby reducing the problem of corrosion failure of the second conductive layer 21.

[0088] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a top view structural diagram of a display module provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0089] The display module 200 includes a display area 201 and a binding area 202, wherein the binding area 202 is disposed adjacent to the display area 201.

[0090] In some embodiments, the binding area 202 is located below the display area 201.

[0091] This application also provides a terminal device, which includes the display module provided in any of the above embodiments. This terminal device also possesses the beneficial effects of the display module, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0092] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the technical solutions and core ideas of this application; those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
