Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of QC electrical testing technology, and more specifically, to a testing device for display modules. Background Technology

[0002] In current smartphone designs, to meet specific regional design specifications, the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) of the main screen cannot pass through the battery. Therefore, the length of the main screen FPC connector must be kept short to avoid it passing through the battery area, which limits the length of the active portion of the main screen FPC connector. To solve this problem, the back of the main screen FPC connector needs to be attached to the backlight frame (e.g., using conductive double-sided adhesive) before the display module is shipped. Fig. 1-2 This can lead to a reduction in the length of the extended portion of the main screen FPC connector, which may result in misalignment of the connector or tearing of the FPC during the module's quality control (QC) electrical testing process.

[0003] The existing solution is to add an adapter FPC to extend the protruding part of the main screen FPC, but this increases material costs and requires additional personnel to perform the adapter operation, increasing labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of this application is that it does not require additional extension of the FPC and operating positions, thereby reducing product testing costs.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a detection device for display modules, employing the following technical solution:

[0014] Furthermore, the probe plate body is provided with a plurality of probe plate positioning holes, which are arranged around the ZIF connector.

[0015] Furthermore, the probe plate body is provided with a plurality of probe positioning holes, which are arranged around the probe body.

[0016] Furthermore, the distance from the center of the main screen FPC connector to the movable edge of the FPC body is greater than the distance from the center of the probe to the edge of the probe board body plus 0.8mm.

[0017] Furthermore, the diameter of the probe plate positioning hole is 3.0 mm, and the diameter of the probe positioning hole is 2.0 mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the external dimensions of the area to be tested are 0.2 mm larger than one side of the display module.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages:

After the main screen FPC connector of the display module is aligned and attached, the movable part of the main screen FPC connector can be snapped onto the probe body for QC electrical testing. This eliminates the need to add an extension FPC and an operating position, reducing product testing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.
