[0036] Figure 1 This is a top view schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating the connection between a display panel and a mounting base according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 This is a partial structural top view of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. For example... Figures 1-4 As shown, the electronic device includes a display panel 1 and a housing assembly 2, which are assembled together. The housing assembly 2 includes a frame 21 and a carrier plate 22, with the carrier plate 22 disposed inside the frame 21. The display panel 1 and the carrier plate 22 are stacked together. A buffer layer can be provided between the display panel 1 and the carrier plate 22 to protect the display panel 1 in the event of an impact. The frame 21 and the carrier plate 22 can be an integral structure or separate structures that are subsequently fixedly connected through a process; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0037] The electronic device also includes a glue platform 3, a first adhesive component 4, a second adhesive component 5, and a sealing component 6, wherein the glue platform 3 is disposed on the non-display side of the display panel 1. The glue platform 3 may include a low-pressure injection molding platform, for example, it can be formed on the non-display side of the display panel 1 using a LIPO (Low-Injection Pressurized Overmolding) process. In some embodiments, the glue platform 3 can be bonded to the cover plate 11 of the display panel 1, and surround other layers of the display panel 1 on the inner side; or in other embodiments, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the display panel 1 includes a cover plate 11 and a support layer 12. The cover plate 11 can form the display side surface of the display panel 1, and the support layer 12 can form the non-display side surface of the display panel 1. The adhesive platform 3 can be connected to the inner side of the cover plate 11 and the inner side of the support layer 12 of the display panel 1 respectively, and can also be connected to the layer structure located between the cover plate 1 and the support layer 12, thereby covering the uneven area on the side of the display panel 1 and improving the waterproof performance.

[0038] The first adhesive component 4 is bonded between the carrier plate 22 and the adhesive platform 3. The first adhesive component 4 extends continuously from the first end 41 along the frame 21 to the second end 42. The first end 41 and the second end 42 form a gap corresponding to the sound transmission and reception area, that is, a sound transmission and reception channel can be formed at this position, such as the earpiece channel or the speaker channel. Furthermore, each position of the first adhesive component 4 is connected to the adhesive platform 3. Thus, on the entire ring structure of the frame 21, except for the gap between the first end 41 and the second end 42, the first waterproof seal between the display panel 1 and the housing assembly 2 can be achieved through the bonding of the adhesive platform 3 and the first adhesive component 4.

[0039] The second adhesive 5 is located inside the first adhesive 4 and is bonded between the carrier plate 22 and the display panel 1. Specifically, the second adhesive 5 can bond the carrier plate 22 and the support layer 12, thereby forming a second waterproof seal between the display panel 1 and the housing assembly 2 through the bonding of the second adhesive 5. Furthermore, the second adhesive 5 can cover the gap between the first end 41 and the second end 42, for example... Figure 3 As shown, in the vertical direction, the projection of the second adhesive 5 covers the projection of the gap between the first end 41 and the second end 42, thus forming at least one waterproof sealing structure in the sound transceiver area.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing element 6 can seal the gap formed by the first end 41, the second adhesive element 5, the carrier plate 22, the adhesive platform 3, and the display panel 1. In other words, the sealing element 6 can seal the gap formed by the first adhesive element 4 and the second adhesive element 5, preventing moisture from the sound transceiver area from entering the electronic device through this gap. Specifically, when the side of the adhesive platform 3 contacts the side of the second adhesive element 5 after the display panel 1 is pressed together, the sealing element 6 can enter the gap between the adhesive platform 3 and the second adhesive element 5 to connect with the display panel 1 in order to improve airtightness. Of course, the sealing element 6 can also seal the gap formed by the second end 42, the second adhesive element 5, the carrier plate 22, the adhesive platform 3, and the display panel 1; for details, please refer to the embodiment of the first end 41.

[0041] Based on this technical solution, after forming the first adhesive component 4 and the second adhesive component 5 on the carrier plate 22, sealing components 6 can be formed at the interval between the first end 41 of the first adhesive component 4 and the second adhesive component 5, and at the interval between the second end 42 of the first adhesive component 4 and the second adhesive component 5. The display panel 1 can then be pressed and assembled onto the housing assembly 2. This design allows for a waterproof seal between the display panel 1 and the housing assembly 2 without opening holes in the housing assembly 2, improving the strength and aesthetics of the housing assembly 2, simplifying the manufacturing process, and increasing tolerance.

[0042] In this embodiment, to ensure that at least one waterproof seal is provided on the inner side of the frame 21, at least one of a first adhesive member 4 and a second adhesive member 5 is provided on the inner side of any position of the frame 21. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a second adhesive 5 is provided at the position corresponding to the interval area between the first end 41 and the second end 42, and a first adhesive is provided in the area cut off by the second adhesive 5 at the opposite end, so as to ensure that the entire circumference of the frame 21 can be waterproofed.

[0043] In some embodiments, to improve the sealing effect of the seal 6, the seal 6 may include an adhesive dispensing component. This allows adhesive to be applied to the space formed by the first end 41, the second adhesive 5, and the carrier plate 22 before assembling the display panel 1. Subsequently, the display panel 1 is pressed together, causing the display panel 1 and the adhesive platform 3 to bond to the adhesive dispensing component, thereby improving the airtightness of the electronic device. Further, as... Figure 5 As shown, when dispensing to form a dispensing component, in order to assist the flow of adhesive and provide an overflow path for the adhesive, the carrier plate 22 also includes an overflow slope 221 located between the first adhesive component 4 and the second adhesive component 5, and the dispensing component is bonded to the overflow slope 221.

[0044] The dispensing component may include a damming silicone component, which utilizes its excellent adhesion and strength to improve the sealing effect and reliability. The first adhesive component 4 may include an adhesive backing layer, and the second adhesive component 5 may also include an adhesive backing layer, resulting in stable and firm adhesion with a simple process. The damming silicone component may include an organic silicone material, which has good moisture-proof and insulating properties. It can form a dam between the first adhesive component 4 and the second adhesive component 5 to fill the gap and achieve a seal. The damming silicone component can be a cured component formed by heating after dispensing.

[0045] In some embodiments, the adhesive platform 3 is an annular adhesive platform to improve the airtightness of the electronic device, and the annular adhesive platform can be adaptively designed according to the sound path of the sound transceiver area. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 The electronic device shown forms a sound transceiver port located on the display side of the electronic device, or as... Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device forms a sound transceiver port located on the side of the housing assembly 2. To prevent sound from being blocked by the annular adhesive platform, as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the annular rubber platform includes a recessed platform 31 corresponding to the sound transceiver area. The recessed platform 31 provides an effective path for sound transmission, and the sealing of the sealing member 6 can further protect against moisture entering through the sound transmission path.

[0046] Furthermore, the surfaces of the annular adhesive platform and the first adhesive member 4 are at the same height, thus ensuring that there are no gaps between the annular adhesive platform and the first adhesive member 4 that cannot be sealed. In particular, when the annular adhesive platform is connected to the surface of the support layer 12, the annular adhesive platform can shield the height difference caused by the difference in the stacking dimensions on the side of the display panel 1, achieving a good sealing effect between the adhesive platform 3 and the first adhesive member 4.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the second adhesive member 5 extends continuously from the third end 51 along the frame 21 to the fourth end 52. Furthermore, in the thickness direction of the electronic device, the projection of the bent encapsulation portion of the display panel 1 is located between the projection of the third end 51 and the projection of the fourth end 52. This avoids the second adhesive member 5 occupying the "chin" area of ​​the electronic device, thus facilitating the achievement of an extremely narrow bezel effect. The bent encapsulation portion houses the signal lines and gate lines of the display panel 1. Through the connection between the bent encapsulation portion and the driver IC and display cable of the display panel 1, the transmission of control signals to the display panel 1 is achieved.

This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
