Description

Display screen module, preparation method thereof and electronic device

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411132405.0, filed on August 16, 2024, with the State Intellectual Property Office of China, and the Chinese patent application No. 202411132405.0 has the title of "Display screen module, preparation method thereof and electronic device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic devices, in particular to a display screen module, a preparation method thereof and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0003] The electronic device includes a display screen, and a relative ratio of an area of the display screen to an area of a front panel of the electronic device is a screen ratio. The larger the screen ratio, the larger the screen, and the better the visual experience. The electronic device also includes a circuit board, and the display screen and the circuit board are stacked. A terminal bending process is usually used to electrically connect the display screen and the circuit board through a metal wire.

[0004] The metal wire is gathered and bent at an edge of the display screen, so that the metal wire is bent to form a terminal bending area at the edge of the display screen. The terminal bending area still occupies the space at the edge of the display screen, which causes the setting area of the display screen to be compressed, and is not conducive to forming a larger screen ratio of the electronic device. Although reducing the bending radius of the metal wire can reduce the area of the terminal bending area, the stress on the display screen is increased, which is not conducive to ensuring the service life and manufacturing yield of the electronic device. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a display screen module, a preparation method thereof and an electronic device. The display screen module is bent at a connecting portion. A groove portion is arranged on a concave surface of the connecting portion facing the substrate, which reduces the inherent volume of the connecting portion on the inner side of the bending, effectively slows down the compression of the inner side of the connecting portion, and further reduces the stress at the bending of the display panel, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the display panel at the bending, and further realizing a larger screen ratio and service life.

The display screen module 100 and the circuit board 210 are stacked in a first direction (Z direction in FIG. 1). The display screen module 100 has a display surface 110 and a mounting surface 120 opposite to each other in a thickness direction. The display surface 110 has a display area 111 for displaying information such as text, images, and videos. The circuit board 210 is located on the side of the display screen module 100 with the mounting surface 120. The display screen module 100 has a metal wire 60. One end of the metal wire 60 is located on the side of the display screen module 100 with the display surface 110. The other end of the metal wire 60 is used for electrical connection with the circuit board 210, so that the display screen module 100 and the circuit board 210 are electrically connected. The circuit board 210 is located on the side of the display screen module 100 with the mounting surface 120, so that the other end of the metal wire 60 needs to be bent and wound to the side of the mounting surface 120 of the display screen module 100. In order to simplify the manufacturing process of the display screen module 100 and ensure the stability of the connection between the display screen module 100 and the circuit board 210, a terminal bending process is usually used to bend the edge of the display screen module 100 and ensure the electrical connection between the display screen module 100 and the circuit board 210.

[0094] In the electronic device 200 using the terminal bending process, the display screen module 100 usually has a plurality of metal wires 60. One end of each of the plurality of metal wires 60 is connected to the display screen module 100. The other end of each of the plurality of metal wires 60 is gathered at the edge of the display screen module 100. The display screen module 100 is bent towards the side of the mounting surface 120 at the edge where the plurality of metal wires 60 are gathered, so that the plurality of metal wires 60 are simultaneously bent after being gathered. The other end of the plurality of metal wires 60 after being bent reaches the side of the mounting surface 120 of the display screen module 100, so that the plurality of metal wires 60 after being bent can be connected to the circuit board 210.

[0095] The relative ratio of the area of the display area 111 in the display screen module 100 and the area of the front panel of the electronic device 200 is the screen ratio. The larger the screen ratio is, the larger the screen is, and the better the visual experience is. The area where the metal wires 60 converge and bend at the edge of the display screen module 100 forms a terminal bending area 112. The terminal bending area 112 occupies the space at the edge of the display screen module 100, and the terminal bending area 112 cannot be used to display information, which leads to the compression of the display area 111 of the display screen module 100. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the occupied space of the terminal bending area 112 and increase the occupied space of the display area 111, so as to form a larger screen ratio for the electronic device 200. Reducing the bending radius of the display screen module 100 at the terminal bending area 112 can reduce the area of the terminal bending area 112. However, as the bending radius decreases, the stress on the display screen module 100 increases, which limits the size of the bending radius of the terminal bending area 112. It is difficult to further reduce the area of the terminal bending area 112, and a smaller bending radius is accompanied by a larger stress, which is not conducive to ensuring the service life and manufacturing yield of the electronic device 200.

[0096] The display screen module 100 will be specifically introduced below.

[0097] The display screen module 100 provided in the present application is shown in FIG. 2, which shows a structural schematic diagram of the display screen module 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The display screen module 100 includes a substrate 40 and a display panel 10. The display panel 10 is bent, and the substrate 40 is used to support the display panel 10, so as to improve the structural strength and stability of the display panel 10. The display panel 10 includes a first laminated part 11, a connecting part 13 and a second laminated part 12. The first laminated part 11, the connecting part 13 and the second laminated part 12 are of an integrated structure. The connecting part 13 is located between the first laminated part 11 and the second laminated part 12. The connecting part 13 and the first laminated part 11 can be connected or have a spacing distance. Similarly, the connecting part 13 and the second laminated part 12 can be connected or have a spacing distance.

[0098] The first laminated portion 11 is located on a first side of the substrate 40 in a first direction (for example, the Z direction shown in FIG. 2), and the second laminated portion 12 is located on a second side of the substrate 40 in the first direction, so that the first laminated portion 11, the substrate 40, and the second laminated portion 12 are sequentially arranged in the first direction. For example, referring to FIG. 2, the first side and the second side are opposite sides of the substrate 40 in the first direction, so that the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12 are located on opposite sides of the substrate 40 in the first direction. The connecting portion 13 is connected to the first laminated portion 11, and at least part of the connecting portion 13 is bent towards the second side of the substrate 40, so that the connecting portion 13 can also be connected to the second laminated portion 12. At least part of the connecting portion 13 is bent, that is, the display panel 10 is bent at the connecting portion 13. The display panel 10 is distributed on both the first side and the second side of the substrate 40, which is conducive to forming a terminal bending area 112 near the bending portion of the display panel 10, and facilitating the electrical connection between the display screen module 100 and the circuit board 210.

[0099] In an embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the display screen module 100 at A-A in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2. The first laminated portion 11, the substrate 40, and the second laminated portion 12 are sequentially arranged in the first direction (for example, the Z direction shown in FIGS. 2 and 3). In a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the orthographic projection of the first laminated portion 11 and the orthographic projection of the second laminated portion 12 are both located within the orthographic projection range of the substrate 40. The connecting portion 13 is located on a side of the substrate 40 perpendicular to the first direction. In a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 13 and the orthographic projection of the substrate 40 do not overlap. The orthographic projection of the connecting portion 13 and the orthographic projection of the substrate 40 can be connected at the edge, or the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 13 and the orthographic projection of the substrate 40 can be arranged with a spacing therebetween.

[0100] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the connecting portion 13 is connected to the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12. The first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12 are located on the first side and the second side of the substrate 40 in the first direction, respectively. At least part of the connecting portion 13 is bent from the first side towards the second side, so that at least part of the connecting portion 13 is located on a side of the substrate 40 in a second direction (for example, the X direction shown in FIGS. 2 and 3), and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Referring to FIG. 3, after being bent, the connecting portion 13 protrudes away from the substrate 40 in the second direction, so that the side of the connecting portion 13 in the second direction towards the substrate 40 is the inner side of the bending of the connecting portion 13. At least part of the surface of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40 is concave. The side of the connecting portion 13 in the second direction away from the substrate 40 is the outer side of the bending of the connecting portion 13. At least part of the surface of the connecting portion 13 away from the substrate 40 is convex. It can be understood that the surface of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40 can be concave as a whole, or part of the surface of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40 can be concave, and the other part of the surface of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40 can be flat or convex.

[0101] The connecting portion 13 is bent, and a concave surface is formed on the inner side of the bent portion. The connecting portion 13 is pressed at the concave surface, and stress is generated to resist the bending of the connecting portion 13. In order to ensure the stability of the relative positions of the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12 relative to the substrate 40, the length of the connecting portion 13 in the extension direction thereof needs to be increased, and the stress generated by the bending of the connecting portion 13 is dispersed in the extension direction of the connecting portion 13, which leads to an increase in the volume of the connecting portion 13, and is not conducive to reducing the occupied space at the bent portion of the display panel 10. At the same time, the inner side of the bent portion of the connecting portion 13 has a certain inherent volume, which leads to the fact that after the connecting portion 13 is bent to a certain extent, the connecting portion 13 cannot be further bent due to the limitation of the inner side of the bent portion, which is not conducive to further reducing the occupied space at the connecting portion 13.

[0102] Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the connecting portion 13 is formed with a groove portion 14 at the concave surface thereof facing the substrate 40. The thickness of the connecting portion 13 at the groove portion 14 is smaller, which reduces the inherent volume of the inner side of the bent portion of the connecting portion 13, is conducive to achieving a greater bending degree of the connecting portion 13, and reduces the occupied space of the connecting portion 13. At the same time, the groove portion 14 is located at the region where the connecting portion 13 is pressed, and provides a certain avoiding space for the inner side of the bent portion of the connecting portion 13, which can effectively alleviate the pressing of the inner side of the bent portion of the connecting portion 13, and further reduces the stress generated by the bending of the connecting portion 13, which is conducive to improving the service life of the connecting portion 13 and reducing the volume of the connecting portion 13.

[0103] After the connecting portion 13 is bent, the convex surface of the connecting portion 13 facing away from the substrate 40 is stretched. The groove portion 14 is located at the concave surface of the connecting portion 13 facing the substrate 40, so that the convex surface of the connecting portion 13 facing away from the substrate 40 is relatively smooth, which is conducive to ensuring the structural strength of the connecting portion 13, and further ensuring that the display screen module 100 has a good service life. The groove portion 14 is located at the connecting portion 13, so that the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12 can have a larger connecting area with the substrate 40, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the relative positions of the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12 relative to the substrate 40.

[0104] The display module 100 provided by the present application comprises a substrate 40 and a display panel 10, the display panel 10 comprises a first laminated part 11, a connecting part 13 and a second laminated part 12, the first laminated part 11 and the second laminated part 12 are respectively located on the first side and the second side of the substrate 40 in the first direction, the connecting part 13 is connected to the first laminated part 11 and is at least partially bent towards the second side of the substrate 40, so that the connecting part 13 and the second laminated part 12 are connected, and the display panel 10 is bent at the connecting part 13, the concave surface of the connecting part 13 towards the substrate 40 is provided with a groove part 14, which reduces the inherent volume of the inner side of the bending of the connecting part 13 and provides a space for the inner side of the bending of the connecting part 13, which can effectively slow down the extrusion of the inner side of the bending of the connecting part 13, thereby reducing the stress at the bending of the display panel 10, which is beneficial to reduce the volume of the display panel 10 at the bending, thereby realizing a larger screen ratio.

[0105] It should be noted that the concave surface of the connecting part 13 towards the substrate 40 can be provided with one or more groove parts 14, and the present application does not limit the number of groove parts 14. In one possible implementation, please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the display module 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, which has groove parts 14 on both sides of the connecting part 13. The concave surface of the connecting part 13 towards the substrate 40 is provided with a groove part 14, and the size of the groove part 14 can be set according to actual needs, so that the groove part 14 provides sufficient space for the inner side of the bending of the connecting part 13, effectively slows down the extrusion of the inner side of the bending of the connecting part 13, and at the same time ensures that the connecting part 13 has sufficient structural strength.

[0106] The connecting part 13 extends from the first side to the second side, and in the extension direction of the connecting part 13, the extension length of the groove part 14 can be less than the extension length of the connecting part 13, so that the groove part 14 is only partially distributed on the surface of the connecting part 13 towards the substrate 40, and the connecting part 13 has a smaller thickness in the partial area with the groove part 14; or the extension length of the groove part 14 can be equal to the extension length of the connecting part 13, so that the entire connecting part 13 has a smaller thickness.

[0107] The setting position of the groove part 14 when the extension length of the groove part 14 is less than the extension length of the connecting part 13 will be described in detail below in combination with the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6.

[0108] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the extending direction of the connecting portion 13, one part of the connecting portion 13 is bent to extend, and the other part of the connecting portion 13 is straight to extend, so that one part of the surface of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40 is concave, and the other part of the surface of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40 is flat, the bending degree of the connecting portion 13 at the concave part is larger, so that the connecting portion 13 is easily pressed at the concave part, and the stress of the connecting portion 13 at the concave part is larger. The groove portion 14 is located at the concave part of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40, which can effectively slow down the pressing of the connecting portion 13 at the concave part, reduce the stress of the connecting portion 13 at the concave part, and is beneficial to reduce the volume of the connecting portion 13, and realize the miniaturization of the connecting portion 13. Since only one part of the surface of the connecting portion 13 towards the substrate 40 is concave, the length of the groove portion 14 is smaller than the extending length of the connecting portion 13, and the connecting portion 13 has a larger thickness at the region without the groove portion 14, which is beneficial to ensure that the connecting portion 13 has a certain mechanical strength.

[0109] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 3, the connecting portion 13 is bent at the side close to the first laminated portion 11, and the groove portion 14 is located at the bending part, so that the groove portion 14 is located at the side of the connecting portion 13 close to the first laminated portion 11, and the connecting portion 13 has a larger bending degree at the side close to the first laminated portion 11, which is beneficial to reduce the bending radius of the connecting portion 13, and further reduce the volume of the connecting portion 13; at the same time, the connecting portion 13 at the side close to the second laminated portion 12 can be tightened towards the substrate 40 in the second direction (such as the X direction shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4), the stress is concentrated at the side of the connecting portion 13 close to the first laminated portion 11, and is reduced by the groove portion 14 arranged at the side, which is beneficial to simplify the arrangement of the connecting portion 13 and the groove portion 14, and ensure that the connecting portion 13 has a smaller volume.

[0110] Similarly, the connecting portion 13 can also be bent at the side close to the second laminated portion 12, so that the groove portion 14 is located at the bending part of the connecting portion 13 at the side close to the second laminated portion 12, so that the connecting portion 13 has a larger bending degree at the side close to the second laminated portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 at the side close to the first laminated portion 11 can be tightened towards the substrate 40 in the second direction, the stress is concentrated at the side of the connecting portion 13 close to the second laminated portion 12, and is reduced by the groove portion 14 arranged at the side, which is beneficial to reduce the bending radius of the connecting portion 13, and further reduce the volume of the connecting portion 13, and simplify the arrangement of the connecting portion 13 and the groove portion 14.

[0111] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 4, the connecting portion 13 is bent on both sides close to the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 is provided with a first groove portion 141 on the side close to the first laminated portion 11 and a second groove portion 142 on the side close to the second laminated portion 12, so that the connecting portion 13 has a large bending degree on both sides close to the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12, which is beneficial to reduce the bending radius of the connecting portion 13 and further reduce the volume of the connecting portion 13. At the same time, the stress is dispersed to both sides of the connecting portion 13 close to the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12, and the first groove portion 141 and the second groove portion 142 can both realize the reduction of stress, so that the stress distribution on the connecting portion 13 is more uniform, which is beneficial to ensure the mechanical strength of the connecting portion 13.

[0112] When the groove portion 14 is located on the side of the connecting portion 13 close to the first laminated portion 11, the groove portion 14 can have a certain interval distance from the first laminated portion 11, or the groove portion 14 can be in contact with the first laminated portion 11; similarly, when the groove portion 14 is located on the side of the connecting portion 13 close to the second laminated portion 12, the groove portion 14 can have a certain interval distance from the second laminated portion 12, or the groove portion 14 can be in contact with the second laminated portion 12. The relative positional relationship between the groove portion 14 and the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12 will be described in detail below in combination with FIGS. 3 to 6.

[0113] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, the connecting portion 13 is bent on the side close to the first laminated portion 11, and the groove portion 14 is located at the bending position on the side of the connecting portion 13 close to the first laminated portion 11, and the groove portion 14 is arranged in an interval from the first laminated portion 11, which is beneficial to simplify the setting mode of the groove portion 14 and avoid the setting of the groove portion 14 interfering with the setting of the first laminated portion 11 and the substrate 40.

[0114] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 shows a sectional view of the display screen module 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, in which the first laminated portion 11 and the groove portion 14 are in contact, the connecting portion 13 is bent on the side close to the first laminated portion 11, the groove portion 14 is located at the bending position on the side of the connecting portion 13 close to the first laminated portion 11, and the groove portion 14 is in contact with the first laminated portion 11, and the side wall of the first laminated portion 11 close to the connecting portion 13 constitutes the side wall of the groove portion 14, so that the side of the connecting portion 13 connected with the first laminated portion 11 has a small thickness, and the bending starting point of the connecting portion 13 is closer to the side of the first laminated portion 11, which is beneficial to reduce the length of the connecting portion 13 in the second direction (X direction shown in FIG. 5), and further reduce the volume of the connecting portion 13.

[0115] Similarly, the connecting portion 13 can also be bent on the side close to the second laminated portion 12, so that the groove portion 14 is located at the bent portion of the connecting portion 13 on the side close to the second laminated portion 12. When the groove portion 14 and the second laminated portion 12 are spaced apart, the setting mode of the groove portion 14 is relatively simple, which is conducive to avoiding the setting of the groove portion 14 interfering with the setting of the second laminated portion 12 and the substrate 40; when the groove portion 14 and the second laminated portion 12 are connected, the starting point of the bending of the connecting portion 13 is closer to the side of the second laminated portion 12, which is conducive to reducing the length of the connecting portion 13 in the second direction, and further reducing the volume of the connecting portion 13.

[0116] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of a display screen module 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, in which the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12 are both connected with the groove portion 14, the connecting portion 13 is bent on both sides close to the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 has a first groove portion 141 on the side close to the first laminated portion 11 and a second groove portion 142 on the side close to the second laminated portion 12. The first groove portion 141 is connected with the first laminated portion 11, and the side wall of the side of the first laminated portion 11 close to the connecting portion 13 constitutes the side wall of the first laminated portion 11. The second groove portion 142 is connected with the second laminated portion 12, and the side wall of the side of the second laminated portion 12 close to the connecting portion 13 constitutes the side wall of the second groove portion 142, so that the starting point of the bending of the connecting portion 13 is closer to the first laminated portion 11 and the second laminated portion 12, which is conducive to reducing the length of the connecting portion 13 in the second direction (e.g., the X direction shown in FIG. 6), and further reducing the volume of the connecting portion 13.

[0117] The setting of the groove portion 14 when the extension length of the groove portion 14 is equal to the extension length of the connecting portion 13 will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7.

[0118] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a display screen module 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, in which the extension length of the groove portion 14 is equal to the extension length of the connecting portion 13, the overall thickness of the connecting portion 13 is less than the thickness of the first laminated portion 11, and the overall thickness of the connecting portion 13 is less than the thickness of the second laminated portion 12, so that the side wall of the side of the first laminated portion 11 close to the connecting portion 13 constitutes one of the side walls of the groove portion 14, the side wall of the side of the second laminated portion 12 close to the connecting portion 13 constitutes another side wall of the groove portion 14, and the surface of the connecting portion 13 facing the substrate 40 constitutes the bottom wall of the groove portion 14. The extension length of the groove portion 14 is equal to the length of the connecting portion 13, so that the overall thickness of the connecting portion 13 is relatively small, the stress generated by the bending of the connecting portion 13 is small, the connecting portion 13 can have a large bending degree, which is conducive to reducing the bending radius of the connecting portion 13, and further reducing the volume of the connecting portion 13.

[0119] It can be understood that when the thickness of the connection part 13 as a whole is less than the thickness of the first laminated part 11 and the thickness of the second laminated part 12, the extension length of the groove part 14 can be less than the extension length of the connection part 13, so that the connection part 13 has a smaller thickness at the groove part 14, further reducing the stress generated by the bending of the connection part 13.

[0120] In a possible implementation, referring to FIGS.2 and 3, the substrate 40 further includes a first back film 20 and a second back film 30, the first back film 20 is located between the first laminated part 11 and the substrate 40, and the second back film 30 is located between the substrate 40 and the second laminated part 12, the first back film 20 is used to support the first laminated part 11, and the second back film 30 is used to support the second laminated part 12, thereby ensuring the stability of the positions of the first laminated part 11 and the second laminated part 12. To ensure the stability of the support of the first back film 20 and the second back film 30 on the first laminated part 11 and the second laminated part 12 respectively, the area of the first back film 20 is greater than or equal to the area of the first laminated part 11, and the area of the second back film 30 is greater than or equal to the area of the second laminated part 12.

[0121] The first back film 20 is located between the first laminated part 11 and the substrate 40, and the second back film 30 is located between the substrate 40 and the second laminated part 12, and the connection part 13 is connected with the first laminated part 11 and the second laminated part 12, so that in the second direction (for example, the X direction shown in FIGS.2 and 3), the connection part 13 is located on the same side of the first back film 20, the substrate 40 and the second back film 30.

[0122] The first laminated part 11 and the first back film 20 are arranged in a laminated manner in the first direction (for example, the Z direction shown in FIGS.2 and 3), and in a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the orthographic projection of the first laminated part 11 is located within the orthographic projection range of the first back film 20, and the edge of the first laminated part 11 close to the connection part 13 coincides with the edge of the first back film 20 close to the connection part 13, thereby ensuring that the first laminated part 11 and the first back film 20 have a larger connection area, and further ensuring the stability of the relative position of the first laminated part 11. At the same time, the connection part 13 and the first back film 20 are not arranged in a laminated manner, thereby realizing clear area division between the first laminated part 11 and the connection part 13, and the groove part 14 is located at the connection part 13, thereby avoiding the problem that the groove part 14 is located between the first laminated part 11 and the first back film 20, thereby affecting the connection area of the first laminated part 11 and the first back film 20.

[0123] Similarly, the second layer 12 and the second back film 30 are stacked in the first direction, and the orthographic projection of the second layer 12 is located within the orthographic projection range of the second back film 30 in the plane perpendicular to the first direction. The edge of the second layer 12 close to the connecting portion 13 coincides with the edge of the second back film 30 close to the connecting portion 13, which ensures that the second layer 12 and the second back film 30 have a large connection area, and further ensures the stability of the relative position of the second layer 12. The connecting portion 13 and the second back film 30 are not stacked, which realizes clear area division between the second layer 12 and the connecting portion 13, and the groove portion 14 does not affect the connection stability of the second layer 12 and the second back film 30.

[0124] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, in the second direction, the length of the first layer 11 and the length of the first back film 20 are both L1, and the length of the second layer 12 and the length of the second back film 30 are both L2. The connecting portion 13 is between the first layer 11 and the second layer 12. The length of the first layer 11 can be equal to the length of the second layer 12, so that the structure of the display screen module 100 has better symmetry in the first direction, simplifying the manufacturing of the display screen module 100. Alternatively, the length of the first layer 11 and the length of the second layer 12 can be different, so as to reduce the volume of the display screen module 100 according to actual needs in cooperation with the groove portion 14, and realize a larger screen ratio.

[0125] In an embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the first layer 11 is connected to the first back film 20, the first back film 20 is connected to the substrate 40, and the display screen module 100 further comprises an elastic adhesive layer 50. The elastic adhesive layer 50 is located on the side of the substrate 40 away from the first back film 20, and is located between the substrate 40 and the second back film 30. The surface of the second back film 30 facing away from the elastic adhesive layer 50 is connected to the second layer 12, so that the first layer 11, the first back film 20, the substrate 40, the elastic adhesive layer 50, the second back film 30 and the second layer 12 are sequentially stacked in the first direction.
