Abstract
Description
Display device, injection mold Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the field of display technology, and specifically to a display device and an injection mold. Background Art
[0002] In a display device, the display substrate is typically attached to a cover plate, which is then connected to the midframe. The midframe, in turn, supports the display substrate via the cover plate. However, because the display substrate is attached to one side of the cover plate, the midframe needs to maintain a certain distance from the edge of the display substrate when connected to the cover plate to avoid interference with the display substrate. Therefore, the cover plate needs to have enough width for the midframe to be installed and enough width to avoid interference between the midframe and the display substrate, which increases the width of the display device's bezel.
[0003] The module injection molding process can reduce the width of the border area of the display device, but cannot solve the problem of light leakage caused by the narrow border of the display device.

[0080] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0081] In the drawings, the sizes of various components, layer thicknesses, or regions may be exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shapes and sizes of the components in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate idealized examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or numerical values shown in the drawings.
[0082] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.
[0083] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.
[0084] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0085] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0086] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged.
[0087] In this specification, "connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.
[0088] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.
[0089] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0090] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.
[0091] Figure 1a is a schematic cross-sectional view of a display device. As shown in Figure 1a, the bonding area of the display device may include a display substrate 10', a polarizer 21' disposed on the light-emitting side of the display substrate 10', an optical adhesive layer 22' disposed on the side of the polarizer 21' away from the display substrate 10, and a cover plate 23' disposed on the side of the optical adhesive layer 22' away from the display substrate 10.
[0092] In an exemplary embodiment, the binding area of the display device may further include a middle frame 30 ′. The middle frame 30 ′ is provided with a mounting groove. The edge of the cover plate 23 ′ is disposed in the mounting groove so that the cover plate 23 ′ is fixed to the middle frame 30 ′.
[0093] The inventors of this application have found through research that the middle frame 30 ′ of the display device shown in FIG. 1 a needs to reserve a mounting groove for connecting with the cover plate 23 ′, which results in a larger size of the middle frame 30 ′ and makes it impossible to achieve a narrow frame.
[0094] Figure 1b is a second schematic cross-sectional view of a display device. As shown in Figure 1b, the bonding area of the display device may include a display substrate 10', a polarizer 21' disposed on the light-emitting side of the display substrate 10', an optical adhesive layer 22' disposed on the side of the polarizer 21' away from the display substrate 10, and a cover plate 23' disposed on the side of the optical adhesive layer 22' away from the display substrate 10.
[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, the binding area of the display device may further include a middle frame 30 ′ connected to the peripheral side of the cover plate 23 ′. An injection molded edge sealer 40 ′ is provided between the middle frame 30 ′ and the peripheral side of the display substrate 10 ′.
[0096] The inventors of this application have discovered that, in order to prevent light leakage from the edge region of the cover plate 23', a light-shielding layer 24' can be provided on the surface of the edge region of the cover plate 23', adjacent to the display substrate 10'. The light-shielding layer 24' is used to block light from escaping from the edge region of the cover plate 23'. Due to errors in the manufacturing process, the light-shielding layer 24' cannot completely cover the edge region of the cover plate 23'. The peripheral side surface of the light-shielding layer 24' is recessed relative to the peripheral side surface of the cover plate 23', resulting in a gap between the peripheral side surface of the light-shielding layer 24' and the peripheral side surface of the cover plate 23', which can cause light leakage.

[0098] display substrate;
