Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of signage technology, and more specifically, relates to a sign that facilitates the replacement and recycling of film. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most large signs on the market are fixed using metal frames and external screws. When users disassemble and replace the film, they usually need to use tools to remove multiple screws and clips, replace the film, and then reinstall the screws and clips, greatly reducing the efficiency of film replacement. Some signs use double-sided tape to fix the film. However, when the double-sided tape is applied to the light guide plate, the adhesive area absorbs light when the light is on, resulting in a bright ring and poor display effect. In addition, the film is fixed to the light guide plate with double-sided tape, and the material cannot be reused after disassembly, which is not environmentally friendly and wasteful. Meanwhile, some signs use a frame fixing method. This method requires adding an injection-molded or sheet metal frame to the outside of the sign through molding. The mold cost is high, increasing the product cost. At the same time, the scalability of the signs is poor. Different sign sizes require new molds for different frame shells, which cannot meet the customization and regional differences of customers. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a sign that facilitates the replacement and recycling of film, with a simple and compact structure, allowing for quick disassembly and replacement of film, eliminating the need for a frame, and saving costs.
