Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of display module testing, and in particular relates to a plug-in structure for display modules. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the quality of display modules, a series of tests are required during the production process. The display module includes the display panel, and its performance is tested through a screen test, which involves connecting a connector to a signal generator. Specifically, one connector is connected to the signal generator, and the other connector is sequentially plugged and unplugged from different display modules to verify their performance.
