On the one hand, the light emitted by the light source 130 is limited, and the brightness of the backlight is difficult to meet the high-brightness display requirement of the display device. On the other hand, since the light source 130 and the driving chip IC are arranged at the same side, the heat generated by the driving chip IC in operation and the heat generated by the light source 130 in operation will be superimposed, which will cause the backlight module BLU and the display panel PNL to have a risk of overheating, affecting the reliability and service life of the display device.
[0127] FIG. 2 schematically shows a cross-sectional view of a backlight module in the related art.
[0128] Referring to FIG. 2, in order to improve the brightness of the backlight, the inventors adjust the light-in mode of the backlight module from single side-in light to double side-in light, i.e., two light sources 130 are arranged at opposite sides of the light guide plate 120. In this way, the light flux incident into the light guide plate 120 can be increased. In the two side frames in which the light sources 130 are arranged, the side frame on one side adopts a U-fold structure, and the side frame on the other side adopts a glue-iron integrated structure. However, this will cause interference between the glue-iron integrated frame, the light source 130, and the light guide plate 120 during assembly (the position shown by the dashed circle in FIG. 2), so that the assembly cannot be completed.
[0129] FIGS. 3A-3B schematically show cross-sectional views of a backlight module in the related art.
[0130] Referring to FIG. 3A, in order to solve the problem of being unable to assemble, the inventors arrange the side frame on one side as a glue-iron separated structure, i.e., after the light guide plate 120 and the light source 130 are assembled, the glue frame 91 is assembled to the frame 92 of the backlight module. The structure of the backlight module obtained after assembly can be referred to FIG. 3B.
[0131] However, the inventors further found in the research process that, if the structure shown in FIG. 3B is adopted, the assembly process of the backlight module will be complicated, the assembly yield will be low, and full-automatic assembly cannot be realized, which is not conducive to large-scale production.

[0133] With reference to FIG. 4, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, the backlight module includes a back plate 110, a light guide plate 120 and light sources 130. The light guide plate 120 is located on the back plate 110, a side of the light guide plate 120 away from the back plate 110 is a light exit face 12E of the light guide plate 120, and light entrance faces of the light guide plate 120 include a first light entrance face 12A and a second light entrance face 12B, the second light entrance face 12B and the first light entrance face 12A are located on two sides of the light guide plate 120 along a first direction X respectively. The light sources 130 include a first light source 131 and a second light source 132, the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 are located on two sides of the light guide plate 120 along the first direction X respectively, a light exit face 131A of the first light source 131 is arranged to face the first light entrance face 12A, a light exit face 132A of the second light source 132 is arranged to face the second light entrance face 12B, and the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 respectively emit light into the light guide plate 120 from the first light entrance face 12A and the second light entrance face 12B.
[0134] The display module further includes a first bezel 210 located on a side of the first light source 131 and a second bezel 220 located on a side of the second light source 132. The first bezel 210 is arranged to extend along a second direction Y and is located on a side of the first light source 131 away from the light guide plate 120, the first bezel 210 is connected to a side of the back plate 110 away from the first light source 131, and the second bezel 220 is arranged to extend along the second direction Y and is located on a side of the second light source 132 away from the light guide plate 120, the second bezel 220 is connected to a side of the back plate 110 away from the second light source 132. A projection of the first bezel 210 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from a projection of the first light source 131 on the back plate 110, and a projection of the second bezel 220 on the back plate 110 covers at least part of a projection of the second light source 132 on the back plate 110.
[0135] In the display module provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, by arranging the first frame 210 apart from the first light source 131 and arranging the orthographic projection of the second frame 220 on the back plate 110 to cover at least part of the orthographic projection of the second light source 132 on the back plate 110, in the assembling process of the backlight module, the second light source 132 can be obliquely inserted into the second frame 220, that is, the structure of the second frame 220 and the second light source 132 is formed, and then the first light source 131 is placed beside the first frame 210, that is, the structure of the first frame 210 and the first light source 131 is formed. In the assembling process of the backlight module, the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 will not interfere with the frame, so that the assembling process of the backlight module is simple and full-automatic assembling can be realized. In addition, by arranging the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 on the two sides of the light guide plate 120 along the first direction X, the brightness of the backlight module can be effectively improved.
[0136] In the display module provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the size of the first frame 210 along the first direction X is smaller than the size of the second frame 220 along the first direction X. Since the second light source 132 is located inside the second frame 220, the size of the second frame 220 along the first direction X can be set larger to improve the supporting effect of the second frame 220 on the display panel assembled on the backlight module.
[0137] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 5A, the first frame 210 includes a first side plate 211 and a first top plate 212 connected together. The first side plate 211 is connected to the side of the back plate 110 away from the first light source 131, and the first side plate 211 can be arranged substantially perpendicular to the back plate 110. One side of the first top plate 212 is connected to the side of the first side plate 211 away from the back plate 110, and the other side extends in the direction close to the light guide plate 120. The second direction Y intersects the first direction X. The first top plate 212 is arranged substantially parallel to the back plate 110, and the first top plate 212, the first side plate 211 and the back plate 110 form a U-shaped structure. When the backlight module is assembled with the display panel, the U-shaped structure can be used to support one side of the display panel.
[0138] Referring to FIG. 5B, the second frame 220 includes a second side plate 221 and a second top plate 222. The second side plate 221 is connected to the side of the back plate 110 away from the second light source 132, and can be substantially perpendicular to the back plate 110. The second top plate 222 is connected to the side of the second side plate 221 away from the back plate 110, and extends in a direction close to the light guide plate 120. The second top plate 222 is substantially parallel to the back plate 110, and forms a U-shaped support structure with the second side plate 221 and the back plate 110. When the backlight module is assembled with the display panel, the U-shaped structure can be used to support one side of the display panel.
[0139] Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the distance D1 between the side of the first top plate 212 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120 along the third direction Z (the direction perpendicular to the light exit surface 12E of the light guide plate 120) is substantially equal to the distance D2 between the side of the second top plate 222 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120 along the third direction Z. That is, the side of the first top plate 212 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the second top plate 222 away from the back plate 110 are substantially at the same height. The size D3 of the first top plate 212 along the first direction X is smaller than the size D4 of the second top plate 222 along the first direction X. The orthogonal projection of the first top plate 212 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from the orthogonal projection of the first light source 131 on the back plate 110, and the orthogonal projection of the second top plate 222 on the back plate 110 at least partially overlaps the orthogonal projection of the second light source 132 on the back plate 110.
[0140] In the backlight module provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the orthographic projection of the first top plate 212 on the back plate 110 and the orthographic projection of the first light source 131 on the back plate 110 to be non-overlapping, the first light source 131 will not interfere with the first frame 210 in the process of assembling the light source 130 and the light guide plate 120, and after the light source 130 and the light guide plate 120 are assembled, there is no need to assemble a glue frame at the first frame 210, the assembly process is simple, and full automatic assembly can be achieved. On the other hand, by setting the orthographic projection of the second top plate 222 on the back plate 110 to partially overlap the orthographic projection of the second light source 132 on the back plate 110, i.e., by setting the size of the second top plate 222 along the first direction X to be larger, the supporting effect of the second top plate 222 can be improved. In addition, in the process of assembling the light source 130 and the light guide plate 120, the second light source 132 can be obliquely inserted between the second top plate 222 and the back plate 110, so that even if the size of the second top plate 222 is increased, it will not affect the assembly. That is, by arranging the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 on the two sides of the light guide plate 120 along the first direction X, the brightness of the backlight module can be effectively improved. In addition, by specifically designing the first frame 210 and the second frame 220, the assembly process of the backlight module is simple and full automatic assembly can be achieved.
[0141] It should be noted that the size of the light guide plate 120 along the first direction X can be larger than the size along the second direction Y, and the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 can be arranged on the two sides of the light guide plate 120 along the first direction X, or the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 can also be arranged on the two sides of the light guide plate 120 along the second direction Y.
[0142] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 5B, the orthographic projection of the second top plate 222 on the back plate 110 covers the orthographic projection of the second light source 132 on the back plate 110, and the orthographic projection of the second top plate 222 on the back plate 110 partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the light guide plate 120 on the back plate 110. The second top plate 222 can be extended to overlap a part of the light guide plate 120, i.e., the size D4 of the second top plate 222 along the first direction X is set to be larger, so as to further improve the supporting effect of the second top plate 222.
[0143] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the distance D5 between the side of the first light source 131 away from the light guide plate 120 and the side of the first side plate 211 close to the light guide plate 120 along the first direction X is substantially equal to the distance D6 between the side of the second light source 132 away from the light guide plate 120 and the side of the second side plate 221 close to the light guide plate 120 along the first direction X, so that the light emitting area of the backlight module is located at the central position along the first direction X, thereby the light emitting area of the backlight module can be better matched with the display area of the display panel assembled on the backlight module, and the display uniformity of the display panel assembled on the backlight module can be improved.
[0144] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 5E, the first frame 210 includes the first side plate 211 and the first glue frame 213, the first side plate 211 is connected to the side of the back plate 110 away from the first light source 131, and the first glue frame 213 is connected to the side of the first side plate 211 close to the first light source 131 and the side of the first side plate 211 away from the back plate 110, the side of the first glue frame 213 away from the first light source 131 and the side of the first side plate 211 away from the first light source 131 are substantially flush, and the side of the first glue frame 213 away from the back plate 110 is farther away from the back plate 110 than the side of the first side plate 211 away from the back plate 110. The first glue frame 213 is spaced apart from the first light source 131 along the first direction X, and the first glue frame 213 is spaced apart from the first main body 311 along the first direction X, that is, the orthogonal projection of the first glue frame 213 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from the orthogonal projection of the first light source 131 on the back plate 110, and the orthogonal projection of the first glue frame 213 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from the orthogonal projection of the first main body 311 on the back plate 110. In this way, the first frame 210 includes the first side plate 211 and the first glue frame 213, that is, the first frame 210 adopts a structure of glue and iron integration, and by spacing the first glue frame 213, the first light source 131 and the first main body 311, the problem of interference between the first light source 131 and the first frame 210 can be effectively avoided during the assembly of the backlight module.
[0145] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5B and 5E, the distance D17 between the side of the first glue frame 213 close to the first light source 131 and the side of the first side plate 211 away from the first light source 131 along the first direction X is less than the distance D18 between the side of the second top plate close to the second light source 132 and the side of the second side plate away from the second light source 132 along the first direction X.
[0146] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5B and 5E, the size D18 of the first frame 213 along the third direction Z is substantially equal to the distance D2 of the side of the second top plate 222 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120 along the third direction Z, i.e., the support height of the first frame 210 is consistent with the support height of the second frame 220.
[0147] FIG. 6A schematically shows an enlarged view of the region A1 in FIG. 4. FIG. 6B schematically shows a cross-sectional view taken along line EE' of FIG. 6A. FIG. 6C schematically shows another enlarged view of the region A1 in FIG. 4. The cross-sectional view taken along line KK' of FIG. 6C can refer to FIG. 6B. FIG. 7A schematically shows an enlarged view of the region A2 in FIG. 4. FIG. 7B schematically shows a cross-sectional view taken along line FF' of FIG. 7A.
[0148] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 4, 6A and 7A, the backlight module further includes a first circuit board 310 and a second circuit board 320. The first circuit board 310 includes a first main body part 311 and a first connecting part 312. The first main body part 311 extends along the second direction Y, and the first connecting part 312 extends along the first direction X. The first main body part 311 is electrically connected to the first light source 131, and one end of the first connecting part 312 is electrically connected to the first main body part 311 and the other end extends out through the first hollow structure 141 in the first frame 210. The first main body part 311 is configured to input a light-emitting control signal to the first light source 131 to drive the first light source 131 to emit light, and the first connecting part 312 extends out of the backlight module through the first hollow structure 141 in the first frame 210 and is electrically connected to an external driving component. The second circuit board 320 includes a second main body part 321 and a second connecting part 322. The second main body part 321 extends along the second direction Y, and the second connecting part 322 extends along the first direction X. The second main body part 321 is electrically connected to the second light source 132, and one end of the second connecting part 322 is electrically connected to the second main body part 321 and the other end extends out through the second hollow structure 142 in the second frame 220. The second main body part 321 is configured to input a light-emitting control signal to the second light source 132 to drive the second light source 132 to emit light, and the second connecting part 322 extends out of the backlight module through the second hollow structure 142 in the second frame 220 and is electrically connected to an external driving component.
[0149] With reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the orthogonal projection of the first frame 210 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from the orthogonal projection of the first main body 311 on the back plate 110, and the orthogonal projection of the second frame 220 on the back plate 110 at least partially overlaps the orthogonal projection of the second main body 321 on the back plate 110. For example, the orthogonal projection of the first top plate 212 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from the orthogonal projection of the first main body 311 on the back plate 110, and the orthogonal projection of the second top plate 222 on the back plate 110 at least partially overlaps the orthogonal projection of the second main body 321 on the back plate 110. By setting the orthogonal projection of the first top plate 212 on the back plate 110 and the orthogonal projection of the first main body 311 on the back plate 110 to be non-overlapping, interference between the first circuit board 310 connected to the first light source 131 and the first frame 210 during assembly of the backlight module can be avoided. In addition, during assembly of the backlight module, the second light source 132 can be inserted obliquely between the second top plate 222 and the back plate 110, and even if the orthogonal projection of the second top plate 222 on the back plate 110 and the orthogonal projection of the second main body 321 on the back plate 110 exist, it will not affect the assembly.
[0150] According to some example embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 5A and 6A, the first main body 311 is located between the first light source 131 and the back plate 110, the orthogonal projection of the first light source 131 on the back plate 110 is located within the orthogonal projection of the first main body 311 on the back plate 110, the orthogonal projection of the first main body 311 on the back plate 110 partially overlaps the orthogonal projection of the light guide plate 120 on the back plate 110, and the first main body 311 is adhered to the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 by the second adhesive 152. For example, the second adhesive 152 includes a plurality of second adhesive portions 152a spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the first main body 311 is adhered to the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 by the plurality of second adhesive portions 152a.
[0151] According to some example embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 5B and 6B, the second main body 321 is located between the second light source 132 and the back plate 110, the orthogonal projection of the second light source 132 on the back plate 110 is located within the orthogonal projection of the second main body 321 on the back plate 110, the orthogonal projection of the second main body 321 on the back plate 110 partially overlaps the orthogonal projection of the light guide plate 120 on the back plate 110, and the second main body 321 is adhered to the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 by the third adhesive 153. For example, the third adhesive 153 includes a plurality of third adhesive portions 153a spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the second main body 321 is adhered to the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 by the plurality of third adhesive portions 153a.
[0152] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 5A, the gap G1 between the orthographic projection of the first top plate 212 on the back plate 110 and the orthographic projection of the first main body portion 311 on the back plate 110 needs to be greater than or equal to a predetermined distance, which can be set in reference to the assembly accuracy of the first circuit board 310 and the molding accuracy of the first frame 210, for example, the assembly accuracy of the first circuit board 310 is 0.1 mm, and the molding accuracy of the first frame 210 is 0.05 mm, so the predetermined distance can be set to 0.15 mm. That is, the gap G1 between the orthographic projection of the first top plate 212 on the back plate 110 and the orthographic projection of the first main body portion 311 on the back plate 110 is set to be greater than or equal to 0.15 mm, and in this way, interference between the first circuit board 310 and the first top plate 212 during assembly can be avoided, and at the same time, the size D3 of the first top plate 212 along the first direction X is made as large as possible.
[0153] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5A, 6A and 6B, the first hollow structure 141 extends from the first side plate 211 to the first top plate 212 and penetrates the first top plate 212 along the first direction X to the edge of the light guide plate 120, that is, as shown in FIG. 6A, the first side plate 211 and the first top plate 212 are completely removed at the position where the first hollow structure 141 is arranged. During assembly, the second connecting portion 322 can be first inserted obliquely between the second top plate 222 and the back plate 110 and passes through the second hollow structure 142 to the outside of the backlight module, and then the light guide plate 120 connected with the light source 130 and the circuit board and other structures is placed on the back plate 110. Since the first hollow structure 141 penetrates from the first side plate 211 to the edge of the first top plate 212 close to the light guide plate 120, that is, the orthographic projection of the first connecting portion 312 on the back plate 110 and the orthographic projection of the first frame 210 on the back plate 110 do not overlap, so that during the process of placing the light guide plate 120 on the back plate 110, the first connecting portion 312 will not interfere with the first frame 210.
[0154] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 6A, the size W1 of the first hollow structure 141 along the second direction Y is greater than the size W2 of the first connecting portion 312 along the second direction Y, for example, the size W1 of the first hollow structure 141 along the second direction Y is greater than the size W2 of the first connecting portion 312 along the second direction Y plus the manufacturing tolerance of the first hollow structure 141 plus the manufacturing tolerance of the first circuit board 310 plus the assembly tolerance of the first circuit board 310.
[0155] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, the second hollow structure 142 is located in the second side plate 221, i.e., the second hollow structure 142 is only provided in the second side plate 221 and does not extend further into the second top plate 222 from the second side plate 221. The second hollow structure 142 provided in the second side plate 221 can enable the second connecting portion 322 to be obliquely inserted between the second top plate 222 and the back plate 110 and to pass through the second hollow structure 142 to the outside of the backlight module when assembled, i.e., the strength and support effect of the second bezel 220 can be improved on the basis of meeting the assembly requirements.
[0156] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 7B, the second hollow structure 142 is substantially flush with the plane of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120, i.e., at the second hollow structure 142, the part of the second side plate 221 close to the back plate 110 is completely removed, so that no step structure is formed, so that when the second connecting portion 322 passes out of the second hollow structure 142, there is no blocking structure, thereby improving the assembly yield of the display module.
[0157] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 7A, the dimension W3 of the second hollow structure 142 along the second direction Y is greater than the dimension W4 of the second connecting portion 322 along the second direction Y, for example, the dimension W3 of the second hollow structure 142 along the second direction Y > the dimension W4 of the second connecting portion 322 along the second direction Y + the manufacturing tolerance of the second hollow structure 142 along the second direction Y + the manufacturing tolerance of the second circuit board 320 along the second direction Y + the assembly tolerance of the second circuit board 320 along the second direction Y.
[0158] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, the dimension W5 of the second hollow structure 142 along the third direction Z needs to be greater than the dimension of the second connecting portion 322 along the third direction Z, so as to ensure that the second connecting portion 322 can pass out of the second hollow structure 142.
[0159] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 7B, the dimension of the second hollow structure 142 along the third direction Z > the dimension of the second connecting portion 322 along the third direction Z + the manufacturing tolerance of the second hollow structure 142 along the third direction Z + the manufacturing tolerance of the second connecting portion 322 along the third direction Z + the working height. Here, the working height refers to the additional space along the third direction Z that needs to be reserved when the second connecting portion 322 is inserted into the second hollow structure 142. The working height can be understood as the working accuracy of the equipment used to insert the second connecting portion 322 into the second hollow structure 142.
[0160] For example, the dimension W5 of the second hollow structure 142 along the third direction Z can be smaller than the dimension W6 of the side of the second top plate 222 close to the back plate 110 and the side of the back plate 110 close to the second top plate 222 along the third direction Z, i.e. one side close to the second top plate 222 at the second hollow structure 142 still retains a part of the second side plate 221.
[0161] FIG. 6D schematically shows a side view of the first hollow structure in FIG. 6C.
[0162] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference to FIG. 5E, FIG. 6B, FIG. 6C and FIG. 6D, the first hollow structure 141 comprises a first hollow sub-portion 1411 in the first side plate 211 and a second hollow sub-portion 1412 in the first glue frame 213, the first hollow sub-portion 1411 extends from the side of the first side plate 211 close to the back plate 110 in a direction away from the back plate 110 and penetrates the edge of the first side plate 211 away from the back plate 110, i.e. the first side plate 211 is cut by the first hollow sub-portion 1411 into two parts which are spaced apart along the second direction Y, the second hollow sub-portion 1412 extends from the side of the first glue frame 213 close to the back plate 110 in a direction away from the back plate 110 and penetrates the edge of the first glue frame 213 away from the back plate 110, i.e. the first glue frame 213 is cut by the second hollow sub-portion 1412 into two parts which are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The first hollow sub-portion 1411 and the second hollow sub-portion 1412 are connected to form the first hollow structure 141, at which the first side plate 211 and the first glue frame 213 are completely removed, so that in the process of assembly, the first connecting portion 312 does not interfere with the first bezel 210. FIG. 8 schematically shows an enlarged view of the region A3 in FIG. 4. Among them, FIG. 8 only schematically shows the light guide plate and the first light source located in the region A3.
[0163] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, at least one corner of the light guide plate 120 is an inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R, the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R is concave to the center of the light guide plate 120, the at least one inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R is adjacent to the first light source 131, the orthographic projection of the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R on the first frame 210 is spaced apart from or tangent to the orthographic projection of the first light source 131 on the first frame 210, that is, the orthographic projection of the light emitting surface 131A of the first light source 131 on the first frame 210 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R on the first frame 210, therefore, the setting of the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R basically does not affect the light rays incident into the light guide plate 120 from the first light source 131. In addition, the inventors have found that by setting the corner of the light guide plate 120 as the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R, the size of the first light incident surface (the plane of the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the first light source 131 except the corner and extending along the second direction Y) of the light guide plate 120 along the second direction Y can be further increased on the basis of meeting the assembly space requirements of the backlight module and the display panel, thereby the size of the first light source 131 along the second direction Y can be improved, and further the brightness of the backlight module can be improved.
[0164] It should be noted that the orthographic projection of the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R on the first frame 210 is tangent to the orthographic projection of the first light source 131 on the first frame 210 should be understood as: the orthographic projection of the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R on the first frame 210 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first light source 131 on the first frame 210, and a part of the edge of the orthographic projection of the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R on the first frame 210 coincides with a part of the edge of the orthographic projection of the first light source 131 on the first frame 210.
[0165] It should be noted that the inventors have found that if the corner of the light guide plate 120 is set as an outer convex arc-shaped corner (an arc-shaped corner convex away from the center of the light guide plate 120), then on the basis of meeting the assembly space requirements of the backlight module and the same display panel, the size of the outer convex arc-shaped corner along the second direction Y will be greater than the size of the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R along the second direction Y, therefore, setting the corner of the light guide plate 120 as the inner concave arc-shaped corner 12R is beneficial to reduce the size of the corner of the light guide plate 120 along the second direction Y, and further the size of the first light incident surface of the light guide plate 120 along the second direction Y can be improved.
[0166] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the first light source 131 includes a plurality of light emitting devices LED spacedly distributed along the second direction Y, the size of the light emitting devices LED along the second direction Y is a first size L1, the pitch of the adjacent light emitting devices LED along the second direction Y is a second size L2, the size of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R along the second direction Y is a third size L3, and the third size L3≤ the first size L1+ the second size L2. That is, within this size range, the size of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R along the second direction Y is not enough to place one more light emitting device LED, so as to maximize the number of light emitting devices LED in the first light source 131.
[0167] According to some exemplary embodiments, at least one of the concave arc-shaped corners 12R is adjacent to the second light source 132, that is, at least one of the two right corners shown in FIG. 4 is a concave arc-shaped corner 12R, and the orthographic projection of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R on the second frame 220 is spaced apart or tangent to the orthographic projection of the second light source 132 on the second frame 220. The concave arc-shaped corner 12R adjacent to the second light source 132 is set in a similar manner to the concave arc-shaped corner 12R adjacent to the first light source 131, which will not be described here.
[0168] For example, the four corners of the light guide plate 120 can all be set as concave arc-shaped corners 12R.
[0169] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 7A and FIG. 8, the second light source 132 includes a plurality of light emitting devices LED spacedly distributed along the second direction Y, and the size of the light emitting devices LED in the second light source 132 is the same as that of the light emitting devices LED in the first light source 131, that is, the size of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R adjacent to the second light source 132 can be set with reference to the size of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R adjacent to the first light source 131, which will not be described here.
[0170] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, a third light source can be provided on at least one side of the light guide plate along the second direction, and the third light source can include a plurality of light emitting devices spacedly distributed along the first direction (the setting manner of the third light source will be described later), in order to ensure that the size of the third light emitting surface of the third light source along the first direction is larger, the fourth size L4 of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R along the first direction X can be set as ≤ the first size L1+ the second size L2.

In addition, the diffusion film 171 is arranged on the side of the light guide plate 120 away from the back plate 110, i.e. on the light emitting surface 12E of the light guide plate 120, so that the light incident into the light guide plate 120 can be distributed more uniformly.

[0193] In step S11, the glue-iron integrated structure and the light guide plate reflective film are loaded into the assembly equipment, and the assembly equipment assembles the light guide plate reflective film and the glue-iron integrated structure.
[0194] It should be noted that the glue-iron integrated structure includes the back plate, the first frame, the second frame, the third frame, the fourth frame, the third glue frame and the fourth glue frame mentioned above. The back plate, the first frame, the second frame, the third frame and the fourth frame can be an integrally formed structure, the third glue frame is installed on the third frame, and the fourth glue frame is installed on the fourth frame.
[0195] In step S12, the light guide plate, the first light source connected with the first circuit board and the second light source connected with the second circuit board are fed into the assembling equipment, and the assembling equipment assembles the first light source connected with the first circuit board and the second light source connected with the second circuit board to both sides of the light guide plate respectively to obtain a light guide-integrated structure.
[0196] In step S13, one end of the light guide-integrated structure is obliquely inserted into a predetermined position in the glue-iron integrated structure, and then the light guide-integrated structure is placed flat on the glue-iron integrated structure to obtain a backlight module semi-finished product.
[0197] It should be noted that the step of assembling the light guide-integrated structure with the glue-iron integrated structure specifically includes: obliquely inserting one side of the second circuit board of the light guide-integrated structure into the second frame of the glue-iron integrated structure, and making the second connecting part of the second circuit board protrude from the second hollow part in the second frame, and then placing the light guide-integrated structure flat on the side of the light guide plate reflection film away from the back plate. In the process of placing, a part of the first connecting part of the first circuit board will be located in the first hollow part of the first frame and extend out of the glue-iron integrated structure.
[0198] In step S14, the appearance of the backlight module semi-finished product is detected.

[0200] It should be noted that the optical film material includes the first light source reflection film, the second light source reflection film, the diffusion film, the first light enhancement film and the second light enhancement film mentioned above.
[0201] In step S16, the backlight module is subjected to a lighting detection.
[0202] FIG. 10 schematically shows a plan view of the dot structure on the light guide plate in the backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 11 schematically shows a distribution density trend graph of the dot structure on the light guide plate in the backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In FIG. 11, the leftmost end of the curve represents the distribution density of the first dot closest to the first light source, and the rightmost end of the curve represents the distribution density of the first dot closest to the second light source.
[0203] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 10, the light guide plate 120 is provided with a plurality of first dots 410 arranged in an array on the side close to the back plate 110, the plurality of first dots 410 includes first dot portions 410A arranged along the first direction X and second dot portions 410B arranged along the first direction X, the first dot portions 410A are located on the side close to the first light source 131, and the second dot portions 410B are located on the side close to the second light source 132, the size of the first dot portions 410A along the first direction X is substantially the same as the size of the second dot portions 410B along the first direction X. In the first dot portions 410A, the distribution density of the first dots 410 gradually increases along the direction from the first light source 131 to the second light source 132, and in the second dot portions 410B, the distribution density of the first dots 410 gradually decreases along the direction from the first light source 131 to the second light source 132. The plurality of first dots 410 in the first dot portions 410A are mainly used for regulating the propagation direction of the light rays incident into the light guide plate 120 from the first light source 131, and the plurality of first dots 410 in the second dot portions 410B are mainly used for regulating the propagation direction of the light rays incident into the light guide plate 120 from the second light source 132, and by setting the distribution density of the first dots 410 in the first dot portions 410A and the second dot portions 410B respectively, the brightness uniformity of the backlight module can be effectively improved.
[0204] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, the plurality of first dots 410 includes a plurality of columns of first dots 410 arranged along the first direction X, and each column of first dots 410 includes a plurality of first dots 410 uniformly and regularly arranged along the second direction Y. In the two columns of first dots 410, the distance between two adjacent first dots 410 in one column of first dots 410 along the second direction Y is equal to the distance between two adjacent first dots 410 in the other column of first dots 410 along the second direction Y. In the first dot portions 410A, the distance between two adjacent columns of first dots 410 along the first direction X gradually decreases along the direction from the first light source 131 to the second light source 132, and in the second dot portions 410B, the distance between two adjacent columns of first dots 410 along the first direction X gradually increases along the direction from the first light source 131 to the second light source 132, thereby realizing the distribution density change trend of the first dots 410 along the direction from the first light source 131 to the second light source 132, as shown in FIG. 11, that the distribution density first increases and then decreases.
[0205] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, the inventors have found that, by setting the variation trend of the distribution density of the first dots 410 to exhibit a parabolic variation trend in the direction pointing from the first light source 131 to the second light source 132, the brightness uniformity of the backlight module can be further improved. That is, in the first dot portion 410A, the distribution density of the first dots 410 gradually increases and the increasing rate gradually decreases in the direction away from the first light source 131, and in the second dot portion 410B, the distribution density of the first dots 410 gradually increases and the increasing rate gradually decreases in the direction away from the second light source 132.
[0206] For example, with reference to FIG. 10, in the first dot portion 410A, among the four adjacent columns of first dots 410, the distance between the column of first dots 410 closest to the first light source 131 and the adjacent column of first dots 410 along the first direction X is a first distance S1, the distance between the two columns of first dots 410 in the middle along the first direction X is a second distance S2, and the distance between the column of first dots 410 farthest from the first light source 131 and the adjacent column of first dots 410 along the first direction X is a third distance S3. The difference between the first distance S1 and the second distance S2 is greater than the difference between the second distance S2 and the third distance S3.
[0207] For example, with reference to FIG. 10, in the second dot portion 410B, among the four adjacent columns of first dots 410, the distance between the column of first dots 410 closest to the second light source 132 and the adjacent column of first dots 410 along the first direction X is a fourth distance S4, the distance between the two columns of first dots 410 in the middle along the first direction X is a fifth distance S5, and the distance between the column of first dots 410 farthest from the second light source 132 and the adjacent column of first dots 410 along the first direction X is a sixth distance S6. The difference between the fourth distance S4 and the fifth distance S5 is greater than the difference between the fifth distance S5 and the sixth distance S6.
[0208] It should be noted that the distance between two adjacent dots can be understood as the distance between the orthographic projections of the same vertex of the two dots on the backboard.
[0209] FIG. 12A schematically shows a perspective view of the first dots on the light guide plate in a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 12B schematically shows a cross-sectional view of the dot structure on the light guide plate in a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0210] According to some exemplary embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 10, 12A and 12B, the shape of the first dot 410 includes a triangular pyramid, the first dot 410 includes a first base H1, a first edge M1, a second edge M2 and a third edge M3, the first base H1 is an isosceles triangle, the first edge M1 is connected with the intersection of the two sides of the first base H1, and the first edge M1 is perpendicular to the first base H1, the second edge M2 and the third edge M3 form a first side J1 with the bottom side of the first base H1. The first dot 410 is recessed from the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 to the direction away from the back plate 110, and the first base H1 is substantially flush with the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110. In the first dot portion 410A, the first side J1 of the first dot 410 faces the light emitting surface 131A of the first light source 131, and the light rays emitted by the first light source 131 into the light guide plate 120 can further be totally reflected when further emitted to the first side J1, and the light rays reflected by the first side J1 can propagate to the light emitting surface 12E of the light guide plate 120 and pass through the light emitting surface 12E of the light guide plate 120 to be emitted out of the backlight module. In the second dot portion 410B, the first side J1 of the first dot 410 faces the light emitting surface 132A of the second light source 132, and the light rays emitted by the second light source 132 into the light guide plate 120 can further be totally reflected when further emitted to the first side J1, and the light rays reflected by the first side J1 can propagate to the light emitting surface 12E of the light guide plate 120 and pass through the light emitting surface 12E of the light guide plate 120 to be emitted out of the backlight module. By setting the structure and orientation of the first dot 410, the brightness and brightness uniformity of the backlight module can be effectively improved.
[0211] It is further explained that the first base H1 is substantially flush with the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110, which means that the first base H1 is flush with the part of the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 which is not provided with the first dot 410.
[0212] According to some exemplary embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 10 and 12A, in the first dot portion 410A, the side K1 connecting the first side J1 and the first base H1 is parallel to the light emitting surface 131A of the first light source 131, and in the second dot portion 410B, the side K1 connecting the first side J1 and the first base H1 is parallel to the light emitting surface 132A of the second light source 132.
[0213] The inventors have further found that when the first dot 410 is arranged according to the structure shown in FIG. 10, a dark band extending along the second direction Y will be formed at the junction of the first dot portion 410A and the second dot portion 410B, and the dark band can be effectively eliminated by adjusting the arrangement angle of the first dot 410.
[0214] FIG. 12C schematically shows a plan view of the dot structure on the light guide plate in the backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0215] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference to FIG. 4, FIG. 12A and FIG. 12C, in the first dot portion 410A, the first side J1 of the first dot 410 faces the light exit surface 131A of the first light source 131 and the third frame 230, and the included angle between the side K1 where the first side J1 connects with the first bottom H1 and the light exit surface 131A of the first light source 131 is the first included angle a1. In the second dot portion 410B, the first side J1 of the first dot 410 faces the light exit surface 132A of the second light source 132 and the fourth frame 240, and the included angle between the side K1 where the first side J1 connects with the first bottom H1 and the light exit surface 132A of the second light source 132 is the second included angle a2. The first included angle a1 and the second included angle a2 are substantially equal, and the first included angle a1 and the second included angle a2 are acute angles. By rotating the first dot 410 in the first dot portion 410A and the first dot 410 in the second dot portion 410B counterclockwise and clockwise respectively by a certain angle, more light can be emitted to the junction area of the first dot portion 410A and the second dot portion 410B, thereby effectively avoiding dark band defects at this position.
[0216] It is also to be noted that the rotation direction of the first dot 410 in the first dot portion 410A and the rotation direction of the first dot 410 in the second dot portion 410B can be reversed, i.e., the first side J1 of the first dot 410 in the first dot portion 410A faces the light exit surface 131A of the first light source 131 and the fourth frame 240, and the first side J1 of the first dot 410 in the second dot portion 410B faces the light exit surface 132A of the second light source 132 and the third frame 230, which can achieve substantially the same improvement effect.
[0217] According to some exemplary embodiments, the size of the first included angle a1 and the second included angle a2 depends on the first light source 131, the second light source 132 and the model of the light guide plate, for example, when the beam angle of the light emitted by the light emitting device LED in the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 is 120°, and the thickness of the light guide plate 120 perpendicular to the light exit surface of the light guide plate 120 is greater than the size of the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 perpendicular to the light exit surface of the light guide plate 120, the first included angle a1 and the second included angle a2 can be set to 25°-35°, and exemplarily, the first included angle a1 and the second included angle a2 are both 30°.
[0218] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 12A and 12B, the first bottom surface H1 has an obtuse top angle β1, and the included angle β2 between the first bottom surface H1 and the first side surface J1 is 45°. In this way, the first side surface J1 has a larger area and is at a suitable angle, which is conducive to further improving the brightness and brightness uniformity of the backlight module.
[0219] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 12A and 12B, the first bottom surface H1 has an obtuse top angle β1, and the included angle β2 between the first bottom surface H1 and the first side surface J1 is 45°. In this way, the first side surface J1 has a larger area and is at a suitable angle, which is conducive to further improving the brightness and brightness uniformity of the backlight module.

[0223] The third side plate 231 is connected to the side of the back plate 110 away from the third light source 133, and the third side plate 231 can be substantially perpendicular to the back plate 110. The third top plate 232 is connected to the side of the third side plate 231 away from the back plate 110 on one side and extends in the direction close to the light guide plate 120 on the other side, and the third top plate 232 is substantially parallel to the back plate 110.

[0224] Referring to FIGS. 5A, 5B and 14A, the distance D11 between the side of the third top plate 232 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120 along the third direction Z is substantially equal to the distance D1 between the side of the first top plate 212 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120 along the third direction Z and the distance D2 between the side of the second top plate 222 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120 along the third direction Z, that is, the side of the third top plate 232 away from the back plate 110 is substantially at the same height as the side of the first top plate 212 away from the back plate 110 and the side of the second top plate 222 away from the back plate 110. The size D12 of the third top plate 232 along the second direction Y is less than the size D4 of the second top plate 222 along the first direction X, and the size D12 of the third top plate 232 along the second direction Y can be equal to the size D3 of the first top plate 212 along the first direction X. The orthogonal projection of the third top plate 232 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from the orthogonal projection of the third light source 133 on the back plate 110.
[0225] It should be noted that the structure design at the third side frame 230 is substantially the same as the structure design at the first side frame 210, so that the third light source 133 does not interfere with the third side frame 230 during assembly of the backlight.

The orthographic projection of the third top plate 232 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from the orthographic projection of the third main body 331 on the back plate 110. By arranging the orthographic projection of the third top plate 232 on the back plate 110 and the orthographic projection of the third main body 331 on the back plate 110 to be non-overlapping, interference between the third circuit board 330 connected to the third light source 133 and the third side frame 230 during assembly of the backlight module can be avoided.
[0227] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 14A, the third main body 331 is located between the third light source 133 and the back plate 110, the orthographic projection of the third light source 133 on the back plate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the third main body 331 on the back plate 110, the orthographic projection of the third main body 331 on the back plate 110 partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the light guide plate 120 on the back plate 110, and the third main body 331 is adhered to the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 by the fifth adhesive 155.

The fourth side frame 240 comprises a fourth side plate 241 and a fourth top plate 242. The fourth side plate 241 is connected with the side edge of the back plate 110 away from the third side frame 230, and the fourth side plate 241 can be arranged substantially perpendicular to the back plate 110. One side of the fourth top plate 242 is connected with the side edge of the fourth side plate 241 away from the back plate 110, and the other side of the fourth top plate 242 extends in the direction close to the light guide plate 120, and the fourth top plate 242 can be arranged substantially parallel to the back plate 110. The fourth top plate 242, the fourth side plate 241 and the back plate 110 form a U-shaped structure, which can be used to support one side of the display panel when the backlight module is assembled with the display panel.
[0230] With reference to FIGS. 5B and 14B, the fourth top plate 242 has a dimension D13 along the second direction Y smaller than a dimension D4 of the second side plate 221 along the first direction X, and a normal projection of the fourth top plate 242 on the back plate 110 is spaced apart from a normal projection of the light guide plate 120 on the back plate 110, so that interference between the fourth side frame 240 and the light guide plate 120 can be avoided during assembly of the backlight module.
[0231] According to some example embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 14A and 14B, a spacing D14 along the third direction Z between a side of the fourth top plate 242 away from the back plate 110 and a side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120 is substantially equal to a spacing D11 along the third direction Z between a side of the third top plate 232 away from the back plate 110 and a side of the back plate 110 close to the light guide plate 120, i.e., the side of the fourth top plate 242 away from the back plate 110 is at substantially the same height as the side of the third top plate 232 away from the back plate 110, the fourth top plate 242 can support a display panel assembled to the backlight module, and a glue frame structure can not be arranged at the fourth side frame 240, so that manufacturing cost of the backlight module can be reduced.
[0232] FIG. 14C schematically shows an enlarged view of the region A4 in FIG. 13. In FIG. 14C, only the light guide plate, the first light source and the third light source located in the region A4 are schematically shown.
[0233] According to some example embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14C, at least one corner of the light guide plate 120 adjacent to the third light source 133 is an inwardly recessed arc-shaped corner 12R (for example, the corner between the first light source 131 and the third light source 133 schematically shown in FIG. 14C), a normal projection of the inwardly recessed arc-shaped corner 12R on the third side frame 230 is spaced apart from or tangent to a normal projection of the third light source 133 on the third side frame 230, i.e., a normal projection of a light emitting surface 133A of the third light source 133 on the third side frame 230 does not overlap with a normal projection of the inwardly recessed arc-shaped corner 12R on the third side frame 230, and thus, the inwardly recessed arc-shaped corner 12R has substantially no influence on the third light source 133 to incident light into the light guide plate 120. In addition, the inventors have found that, by arranging the corner of the light guide plate 120 as the inwardly recessed arc-shaped corner 12R, the third light source 133 can have a larger dimension along the second direction Y, and the third light entrance surface (a plane extending along the second direction Y on the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the third light source 133 except the corner) of the light guide plate 120 can have a larger dimension along the second direction Y, so that the brightness of the backlight module can be improved.
[0234] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 14C, the third light source 133 includes a plurality of light emitting devices LED distributed along the first direction X at intervals, the size of the light emitting devices LED along the first direction X is a first size L1, the interval of adjacent light emitting devices LED along the first direction X is a second size L2, the size of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R along the first direction X is a fourth size L3, and the fourth size L4≤ the first size L1+ the second size L2. That is, within this size range, the size of the concave arc-shaped corner 12R along the first direction X is not enough to place one more light emitting device LED, so that the number of light emitting devices LED in the third light source 133 can be maximized.
[0235] FIG. 15 schematically shows an assembly flowchart of the backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0236] Referring to FIG. 5, the assembly process of the backlight module shown in FIG. 13 can include the following steps S21-S26:
[0237] In step S21, the iron frame structure and the light guide plate reflective film are loaded into the assembly equipment, and the assembly equipment assembles the light guide plate reflective film with the iron frame structure.
[0238] It should be noted that the iron frame structure includes the back plate, the first frame, the second frame, the third frame, and the fourth frame mentioned above. The back plate, the first frame, the second frame, the third frame, and the fourth frame can be an integrally formed structure.
[0239] In step S22, the light guide plate, the first light source connected with the first circuit board, the second light source connected with the second circuit board, and the third light source connected with the third circuit board are loaded into the assembly equipment, and the assembly equipment assembles the first light source connected with the first circuit board, the second light source connected with the second circuit board, and the third light source connected with the third circuit board to the outside of the light guide plate respectively to obtain a lamp guide integrated structure.
[0240] In step S23, one end of the lamp guide integrated structure is obliquely inserted into a predetermined position in the iron frame structure, and then the lamp guide integrated structure is placed flat on the iron frame structure to obtain a backlight module semi-finished product.
[0241] It should be noted that the step of assembling the lamp guide integrated structure with the iron frame structure specifically includes: obliquely inserting one side of the second circuit board of the lamp guide integrated structure into the second frame of the iron frame structure, and making the second connecting part of the second circuit board protrude from the second hollow part in the second frame, then placing the lamp guide integrated structure flat on the side of the reflective film away from the back plate. In the process of placing, a part of the first connecting part of the first circuit board will be located in the first hollow part of the first frame and extend outside the glue-iron integrated structure, and a part of the third connecting part of the third circuit board will be located in the third hollow part of the third frame and extend outside the iron frame structure.
[0242] In step S24, appearance detection is performed on the backlight module semi-finished product.
[0243] In step S25, the optical film material is assembled on the backlight module semi-finished product to obtain a backlight module.

FIG. 17 schematically shows a distribution density trend graph of the dot structure on the light guide plate in the backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In FIG. 17, the leftmost end of the curve schematically represents the distribution density of the second dot closest to the third light source, and the rightmost end of the curve schematically represents the distribution density of the second dot farthest from the third light source.
[0247] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 14A and 16, the light guide plate 120 is provided with a plurality of second dots 420 arranged in an array on the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110, and the distribution density of the second dots 420 gradually increases in the direction away from the third light source 133. By setting the distribution density of the second dots 420 according to this trend, the brightness uniformity of the backlight module can be effectively improved.
[0248] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 16, the plurality of second dots 420 includes a plurality of rows of second dots 420 arranged along the second direction Y, and each row of second dots 420 includes a plurality of second dots 420 uniformly spaced along the first direction X. In the two rows of second dots 420, the spacing between two adjacent second dots 420 in one row of second dots 420 along the first direction X is equal to the spacing between two adjacent second dots 420 in the other row of second dots 420 along the first direction X, and the spacing between the two adjacent rows of second dots 420 gradually decreases in the direction away from the third light source 133, thereby achieving the distribution density change trend shown in FIG. 17, i.e., the distribution density of the second dots 420 gradually increases in the direction away from the third light source 133.
[0249] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the inventors have found through research that, in the direction away from the third light source 133, setting the change trend of the distribution density of the first dots 410 as the nonlinear distribution change trend shown in FIG. 17 can further improve the brightness uniformity of the backlight module. That is, in the direction away from the third light source 133, the distribution density of the second dots 420 gradually increases and the increasing rate gradually increases.
[0250] For example, referring to FIG. 16, in the four rows of second dots 420 adjacent to each other, the distance between the row of first dots 410 closest to the third light source 133 and the adjacent row of first dots 410 is the seventh distance S7, the distance between the two rows of first dots 410 in the middle is the eighth distance S8, and the distance between the row of first dots 410 farthest from the third light source 133 and the adjacent row of first dots 410 is the ninth distance S9. The seventh distance S7 is greater than the eighth distance S8, the eighth distance S8 is greater than the ninth distance S9, and the difference between the seventh distance S7 and the eighth distance S8 is less than the difference between the eighth distance S8 and the ninth distance S9.
[0251] FIG. 18A schematically illustrates a perspective view of the second dots on the light guide plate in a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 18B schematically illustrates a cross-sectional view of the dot structure on the light guide plate in a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0252] According to some exemplary embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 16, 18A and 18B, the shape of the second net dot 420 comprises a triangular pyramid, the second net dot 420 comprises a second base H2, a fourth edge M4, a fifth edge M5 and a sixth edge M6, the shape of the second base H2 is an isosceles triangle, the fourth edge M4 is connected with the intersection of the two legs of the second base H2, and the fourth edge M4 is perpendicular to the second base H2, the fifth edge M5, the sixth edge M6 and the base of the second base H2 enclose a second side J2, the fourth edge M4, the sixth edge M6 and the base of the second base H2 enclose a third side J3, and the fourth edge M4, the fifth edge M5 and the base of the second base H2 enclose a third side J3. The second net dot 420 is recessed from the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 to the direction away from the back plate 110, and the second base H2 is substantially flush with the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110. The second side J2 faces the third light source 133, and the side K2 connected with the second base H2 of the second side J2 is parallel to the light emitting surface 133A of the third light source 133. The third side J3 is perpendicular to the second base H2, the third side J3 faces the first light source 131 and the included angle between the third side J3 and the light emitting surface 131A of the first light source 131 is a third included angle a3, the fourth side J4 is perpendicular to the second base H2, the fourth side J4 faces the second light source 132 and the included angle between the fourth side J4 and the light emitting surface 132A of the second light source 132 is a fourth included angle a4, and the third included angle a3 and the fourth included angle a4 are substantially equal. In this way, the third side J3 can reflect the light rays emitted by the first light source 131 into the light guide plate 120 to the direction away from the third light source 133, the fourth side J4 can reflect the light rays emitted by the second light source 132 into the light guide plate 120 to the direction away from the third light source 133, and the second side J2 can reflect the light rays emitted by the third light source 133 into the light guide plate 120 to the direction close to the light emitting surface 12E of the light guide plate 120. Through the arrangement of the second net dot 420, the light rays emitted by the first light source 131, the second light source 132 and the third light source 133 into the light guide plate 120 can be controlled respectively, so that the brightness and the brightness uniformity of the backlight module can be improved.
[0253] It is further explained that the second base H2 is substantially flush with the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110, which means that the second base H2 is flush with the part of the side of the light guide plate 120 close to the back plate 110 which is not provided with the second net dot 420.
[0254] According to some exemplary embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 16 and 18A, the top angle β3 of the second base H2 is an acute angle, for example, the top angle β3 of the second base H2 is 60°, and the second base H2 is an equilateral triangle. The inventor has found that setting the top angle β3 of the second base H2 to be an acute angle, so that the third included angle α3 and the fourth included angle α4 are both 30°, can more effectively improve the brightness and brightness uniformity of the backlight module.
[0255] According to some exemplary embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 18A and 18B, the size of the second base H2 along the second direction Y is equal to the length of the fourth edge M4. With this arrangement, the angle β4 between the second side J2 and the second base H2 is 45°, thereby more effectively improving the brightness and brightness uniformity of the backlight module.

[0287] FIG. 24 schematically shows a plan view of a display device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0288] Referring to FIG. 24, in the display device, the display panel PNL includes a display area AA and a peripheral area NA located at the display area AA, the display panel PNL includes a drive chip IC located at the peripheral area NA, and the drive chip IC is located at one side of the display area AA along the second direction Y.

[0289] The inventors have found through research that arranging the light source 130 in the backlight module BLU and the drive chip IC in the display panel PNL at different sides can increase the brightness of the backlight module BLU while reducing the temperature rise of the backlight module BLU during operation. The verification process and structure are described later.
[0290] The display device one and the display device two are prepared by using the following steps:
[0291] A display panel is provided, and the ratio of the size of the display area AA of the display panel along the first direction X to the size along the second direction Y is 3:2, as shown in FIG. 24.
[0292] A backlight module one and a backlight module two are provided. The backlight module one has the structure shown in FIG. 1, and the light source 130 of the backlight module one is arranged on one side along the second direction Y. The backlight module two has the structure shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 24, and the backlight module two includes a first light source 131 and a second light source 132, and the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 are located on both sides along the first direction X. The backlight module one and the backlight module two are the same in other structures and models, and the difference is only in the number and the arrangement position of the light source 130. The light source in the backlight module one and the light source in the backlight module two are both composed of the same model of light-emitting diode (LED).
[0293] The backlight module one and the display panel are assembled to obtain a display device one, and in the display device one, the driving chip IC of the display panel and the light source 130 of the backlight module one are located on the same side along the second direction Y (which can be referred to the structure shown in FIG. 1). The backlight module two and the display panel are assembled to obtain a display device two.
[0294] The backlight module one and the backlight module two are subjected to temperature rise test, and the display device one and the display device two are subjected to temperature rise test. The test structure is shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
[0295] Table 1
[0296] According to the data in Table 1, compared with the backlight module one in which the light source is arranged on one side, the backlight module two has light sources arranged on both sides, and the number of LEDs in the light source is increased. In the case that the current of the LED is unchanged, the center brightness of the backlight module two is improved compared with the center brightness of the backlight module one. Meanwhile, if the current of the LED is further increased, the center brightness of the backlight module two can be further improved.
[0297] Table 2
[0298] According to the data in Table 2, compared with the display device one, since the backlight module two in the display device two has the light source and the driving chip arranged on different sides, the heat generated by the driving chip in the working process does not cause the temperature of the backlight module to rise. Therefore, under the same brightness, the temperature rise of the backlight module two in the display device two is obviously reduced. Meanwhile, even if the brightness of the backlight module two is further improved, the temperature rise of the backlight module two is still less than the temperature rise of the backlight module one.
[0299] FIG. 25 schematically shows a plan view of a display device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0300] Referring to FIG. 25, in the display device, the display panel includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA located at a periphery of the display area AA, the display panel includes a driving chip IC located at the non-display area NA, and the driving chip IC is located at one side of the display area AA along a second direction Y. The backlight module can adopt the backlight module shown in FIG. 13, the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 in the backlight module are located at two sides along the first direction X, the third light source 133 and the driving chip IC are respectively located at two sides along the second direction Y, and the setting area of the first light source 131, the second light source 132 and the third light source 133 in the backlight module and the setting area of the driving chip IC do not overlap.
[0301] The inventor has found through research that the light source in the backlight module and the driving chip in the display panel are arranged at different sides, which can increase the brightness of the backlight module and reduce the temperature rise of the backlight module in the working process. The verification process and structure are described below.
[0302] The display device one and the display device three are prepared by using the following steps:
[0303] A display panel is provided, referring to FIG. 25, the ratio of the size of the display area AA of the display panel along the first direction X to the size along the second direction Y is 3:2.
[0304] A backlight module one and a backlight module three are provided, the structure of the backlight module one is shown in the backlight module in FIG. 1, the light source 130 of the backlight module one is arranged at one side along the second direction Y, the structure of the backlight module three is shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 25, the backlight module includes the first light source 131, the second light source 132 and the third light source 133, the first light source 131 and the second light source 132 are located at two sides along the first direction X, and the third light source 133 and the driving chip IC are respectively located at two sides along the second direction Y. The other structures and models of the backlight module one and the backlight module three are the same, and the difference is only in the number and position of the light source 130. The light source 130 in the backlight module one and the light source 130 in the backlight module three are composed of the same model of light-emitting diode (LED).
[0305] The backlight module one and the display panel are assembled to obtain the display device one, in the display device one, the driving chip IC of the display panel and the light source 130 of the backlight module one are located at the same side along the second direction Y (which can refer to the structure shown in FIG. 1), and the backlight module three and the display panel are assembled to obtain the display device three.
[0306] The brightness and temperature rise of the display device one and the display device three are tested, and the test structure is shown in the following Table 3 and Table 4.
[0307] Table 3
[0308] According to the data in Table Three, compared with the backlight module one in which the light source is arranged on one side, the backlight module three in which the light source is arranged on three sides and the number of LEDs in the light source is increased, the center brightness of the backlight module three is improved compared with the center brightness of the backlight module one when the current of the LEDs is unchanged. Meanwhile, the center brightness of the backlight module three can be further improved by further increasing the current of the LEDs.
[0309] Table Four
[0310] According to the data in Table Four, compared with the display device one, since the backlight module three in the display device three arranges the light source and the driving chip on different sides, the heat generated by the driving chip in operation does not cause the temperature of the backlight module to rise, so the temperature rise of the backlight module three in the display device three is significantly reduced under the same brightness. Meanwhile, if the brightness of the backlight module three is further improved, the temperature rise of the backlight module three can still be less than the temperature rise of the backlight module one (depending on the size relationship between K and O, the values of K and O are not the same for different backlight modules and different driving chips).
