[0044] See Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a display device for an electronic atomizer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The display device includes:

[0045] The display device 100 includes a flexible circuit board 10, a control motherboard 20, and an LED display driver module 30;

[0046] The flexible circuit board 10 is connected to the control motherboard 20;

[0047] It should be noted that one side of the flexible circuit board 10 is connected to the interface of the control motherboard 20 using a gold finger process.

[0048] The gold fingers are composed of numerous golden conductive contacts.

[0049] The flexible circuit board 10 is composed of a protective layer 101 and a flexible conductor 102;

[0050] It should be noted that the protective layer 101 may be an insulating film.

[0051] The flexible conductor 102 can be made of copper.

[0052] The LED display driver module 30 is disposed on the protective layer 101 of the flexible circuit board 10, and the protective layer 101 is connected to the flexible conductor 102 by adhesive bonding.

[0053] Specifically, the integrated circuit (IC), its peripheral circuits, LED beads, and other components of the LED display driver module 30 are mounted on the protective layer 101 of the flexible circuit board 10, and the protective layer 101 is attached to the flexible conductor 102 by adhesive bonding.

[0054] In other words, the flexible circuit board 10 is used as a substrate to manufacture a printed circuit board (PCB).

[0055] It should be noted that there are multiple installation methods, and the specific implementation process of each method is different.

[0056] In one embodiment, if the installation method is soldering, specifically, the integrated circuit IC, its peripheral circuit, LED beads and other components of the LED display driver module 30 are soldered onto the surface of the protective layer 101.

[0057] Optionally, the LED beads can be mounted on the preset fixed positions of the protective layer 101.

[0058] It should be noted that the preset fixed position is set according to the actual situation.

[0059] In another embodiment, if the mounting method is surface mount technology (SMT) mounting, the integrated circuit (IC), its peripheral circuits, LED beads, etc. of the LED display driver module 30 are mounted on the protective layer 101 using the SMT process.

[0060] It should be noted that, since the flexible conductor 102 in the flexible circuit board 10 is a flexible material, the flexible circuit board 10 can be bent at will.

[0061] Optionally, the flexible circuit board 10 shown in this utility model can be a flexible circuit board (FPC).

[0062] When the control motherboard 20 receives an LED display command triggered by the user, it controls the LED display driver module to trigger the animation effect corresponding to the LED display command through the flexible circuit board.

[0063] Specifically, the LED display commands are pre-set within the electronic atomizer, such as displaying an animation of a puppy dancing for a preset time after starting to use the electronic atomizer.

[0064] The control motherboard has multiple LED display commands, and each LED display command corresponds to a specific operation.

[0065] This invention uses a flexible circuit board 10 as the display theme of the LED display driver module 30. The interface between the flexible circuit board 10 and the control motherboard 20 is processed using gold finger technology to solder the integrated circuit IC, its peripheral circuits, LED beads and other components of the LED display driver module 30 onto the surface of the protective layer 101 in the flexible circuit board 10. The flexible circuit board 10 is connected to the connector on the control motherboard through the gold fingers at the interface, so that the LED display screen can be controlled by the software program built into the control motherboard.

[0066] It should be noted that, based on the display device of the electronic atomizer specifically shown above, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the display device further includes: a detector 40;

[0067] The detector 40 is connected to the control motherboard 20;

[0068] The detector 40 is used to detect user operations in the electronic atomizer and send them to the control motherboard 20;

[0069] Correspondingly, when the control motherboard 20 receives an LED display command triggered by the user, it controls the LED display driver module 30 via the flexible circuit board 10 to trigger an animation effect corresponding to the LED display command, including:

[0070] When the detector 40 detects a user operation in the electron, it sends the user operation to the control motherboard 20;

[0071] It should be noted that user operations include powering on, touching the screen, and powering off. In other words, the detector can only detect whether the buttons on the e-cigarette are triggered, including the power button and the touchscreen activation button.

[0072] When the control motherboard 20 receives a user operation, it searches for the LED display command corresponding to the user operation; and controls the LED display driver module 30 through the flexible circuit board 10 to trigger the animation effect corresponding to the LED display command.

[0073] Specifically, the detector 40 detects user operations on the electronic atomizer in real time. If a user operation on the electronic atomizer is detected, the user operation is sent to the control motherboard 20. The processor in the control motherboard traverses the correspondence between its existing user operations and LED display instructions to determine the LED display instruction corresponding to the current user operation. The main control motherboard downloads the software program corresponding to the LED display instruction to control the LED board on the flexible circuit board 10 to display the corresponding animation effect.

[0074] The software program is pre-stored and controlled in the motherboard, and it has a corresponding relationship with the LED display instructions.

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, the flexible circuit board, composed of flexible conductors, allows the display device to be bent freely, and the flexible circuit board is connected to the control motherboard. The LED display driver module is disposed on the protective layer of the flexible circuit board, and the protective layer is connected to the flexible conductors by adhesive bonding. When the control motherboard receives an LED display command triggered by the user, it controls the LED display driver module through the flexible circuit board to trigger the animation effect corresponding to the LED display command. This allows the electronic atomizer to transcend two-dimensional space, enabling curved surface displays, and its display device has a smaller footprint, making the display of the electronic atomizer more diverse.

[0079] Furthermore, the flexible circuit board 10 is disposed in the middle layer of the main body of the smoke tube, and the outer layer of the main body of the smoke tube is made of transparent material, so as not to affect the display of the LED display driver module 30 on the flexible circuit board.

[0080] In this embodiment of the utility model, since the flexible circuit board is composed of flexible conductors, the display device can be bent at will; bending it into a U-shape allows the animation effect corresponding to the LED display command to form a 3D curved screen, thereby breaking through the two-dimensional space; and its display device has a small space, making the display of the electronic atomizer more diversified.

[0095] Specifically, when the control motherboard 10 in the display device 100 receives the LED display command triggered by the user, it first controls the power module to supply power to the LED display driver module 30 installed on the flexible circuit board. At this time, the processor in the control motherboard 20 checks whether there is a software program corresponding to the LED display command triggered by the user. If there is, it controls the LED display driver module 30 on the flexible circuit board 10 to display the corresponding animation effect.
