The curved line segment 221 passes through the open area 116 and is electrically connected to the extension line segment 222. This structure can prevent the curved line segment 221 from coming off the first side of the panel, ensuring that the curved line segment 221 is better secured. At the same time, this structure also facilitates the quick installation and removal of the extension line segment 222 on the first side of the panel.

[0035] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the panel includes: a panel body 110, the panel body 110 having a through-hole in a first direction (the through-hole is a through hole), and a clearance groove (such as...) on the second side of the panel body 110 in the first direction. Figure 3 As shown), a receiving hole and a clearance groove are sequentially arranged in the second direction, and the clearance groove extends through the side facing the receiving hole in the second direction. A curved line segment 221 is disposed in the clearance groove from the through end of the clearance groove; and a decorative panel 120 is disposed on the side of the second side (the second side is the front side) of the panel body 110 in the first direction, and covers the opening of the receiving hole and the clearance groove (the opening of the clearance groove is the front opening of the clearance groove). A receiving recess 111 is formed between the receiving hole and the decorative panel 120, and a clearance recess 112 is formed between the clearance groove and the decorative panel 120. A display window is formed on the decorative panel 120 at the position covering the receiving hole. In order to facilitate the placement of the curved line segment 221 in the clearance groove, after the display body 210 is assembled, it can be set to be installed in the receiving hole from front to back.

[0036] The width of the clearance groove gradually decreases from its position near the receiving hole to its position away from the receiving hole, which is more conducive to the injection molding of the clearance groove.
