Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LCD module protection technology, specifically a novel LCD module ESD protection device. Background Technology
[0002] ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is a common potential hazard in the production, transportation, and use of LCD modules. High voltage and high current ESD can directly break down sensitive components in the LCD module, such as driver ICs, capacitors, and resistors, leading to permanent damage. Even without direct component damage, ESD can cause performance degradation issues such as deteriorated display quality, prolonged response time, and color distortion. In addition, ESD can damage insulating and conductive materials, accelerating aging and shortening the lifespan of the LCD module. Specifically, ESD may cause bright spots, dark spots, or color spots on the LCD panel, interfere with signal transmission causing screen flickering or instability, affect the normal operation of touch functions, damage driver ICs causing the LCD module to malfunction or display abnormalities, and interfere with the power management system, causing voltage instability or overcurrent protection activation.
[0003] However, existing ESD protection devices involve spraying a conductive shielding layer inside the equipment casing and adding TVS-ESD devices at the electrostatic contact points. However, this method has certain limitations, resulting in less than ideal shielding effect, higher cost, and difficulty in achieving comprehensive protection.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design and modify anti-ESD devices to effectively prevent the phenomena of insufficient shielding effect, high cost and difficulty in achieving comprehensive protection. Utility Model Content
