AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the display module, during the bonding connection between the driver circuit chip and the chip pad, the thickness mismatch causes the conductive film to fail to completely fill the gap between adjacent chip pins, forming bubbles. This affects the impedance and electrical connection, and can easily lead to black screen and high current failure in the display module.

Method used

By optimizing the thickness ratio of the driver circuit chip and chip pins (h1/H1=1.5%~2.5%), and using a conductive film to electrically connect the chip pins to the bonding pins, the insulating film, consisting of an insulating body and conductive particles, ensures insulation and electrical connection between the chip recess and the pad recess.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevents the formation of air bubbles, improves the bonding quality between the driver circuit chip and the chip pad, and ensures the stability of the electrical connection and the normal operation of the display module.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be varied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0044] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0045] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.

[0046] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0047] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0049] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and the "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.

[0050] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0051] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0052] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0053] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0054] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0055] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the driving circuit chip and chip pads in the relevant display module. As shown in Figure 1, the relevant display module includes a display panel, a conductive film 3', and a driving circuit chip 1'. The display panel includes a display area and a bonding area disposed on one side of the display area. The bonding area includes at least a chip pad 2', which includes multiple bonding pins 2-2'. The driving circuit chip 1' includes a chip body 1-1' and chip pins 1-2'. The chip pins 1-2' of the chip body 1-1' are electrically connected to the bonding pins 2-2' of the chip pad 2'. The conductive film 3' is disposed between the driving circuit chip 1' and the chip pad 2', and is configured to bond the chip pins 1-2' to the bonding pins 2-2'.

[0056] The inventors of this application have discovered that after the driving circuit chip 1' is bonded to the chip pad 2' through the conductive film 3', the thickness of the driving circuit chip 1' and the thickness of the conductive film 3' cannot be completely matched. As a result, the conductive film 3' cannot completely fill the gap between adjacent chip pins 1-2', causing air bubbles 40' to exist in the gap between adjacent chip pins 1-2'. The air bubbles 40' will affect the impedance and electrical connection between the driving circuit chip 1' and the chip pad 2', which can easily cause problems such as black screen and high current in the display module.

[0057] This disclosure provides a display module, including:

[0058] A display panel includes a display area and a bonding area located on one side of the display area, the bonding area including chip pads;

[0060] A conductive film is disposed between the driving circuit chip and the chip pad, and the conductive film is configured to electrically connect the driving circuit chip and the chip pad;

[0061] The thickness of the chip body is H1, and the thickness of the chip pin is h1. The thickness of the chip body and the thickness of the chip pin satisfy the relationship: h1 / H1 = 1.5%~2.5%.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the chip body ranges from 300µm to 600µm.

The cover plate 30 is configured to protect the display panel 10. The flexible printed circuit board 20 is bonded to the bonding area of ​​the display panel 10. The flexible printed circuit board 20 is configured to connect the display panel 10 to external electrical devices to realize the transmission of external signals. The light-emitting side of the display panel 10 refers to the side of the display area of ​​the display panel 10 from which light rays are emitted.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the cover plate 30 may be made of glass, or of a flexible plastic such as colorless polyimide with a light transmittance greater than 90%.

The color filter structure layer 105 may include a black matrix (BM) and color filters (CF). The positions of the color filters may correspond to the positions of the light-emitting devices.

[0092] Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of a driving circuit chip in a display module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The driving circuit chip shown in Figure 8 can be the same as the driving circuit chip shown in Figure 7. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the thickness of the chip body 1-1 of the driving circuit chip 1 is H1, and the thickness of the chip pins 1-2 of the driving circuit chip 1 is h1. The thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 and the thickness h1 of the chip pins 1-2 satisfy the following relationship: h1 / H1 = 1.5% to 2.5% (inclusive). For example, the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 and the thickness h1 of the chip pins 1-2 satisfy the following relationship: h1 / H1 = 1.8% - 2.2%. The thickness of the chip body 1-1 is the average dimension of the chip body 1-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel; the thickness of the chip pins 1-2 is the average dimension of the chip pins 1-2 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel.

[0093] This embodiment of the disclosure shows that by adjusting the percentage of the thickness h1 of the chip pin 1-2 to the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 to 1.5% to 2.5%, the driving circuit chip 1 is bonded to the chip pad 2 through the conductive film 3. The conductive film 3 can completely fill the chip groove 1-3 of the driving circuit chip 1 and the pad groove 2-3 of the chip pad 2, so that there are no air bubbles in the chip groove 1-3 and the pad groove 2-3, thus ensuring the electrical connection between the driving circuit chip 1 and the chip pad 2.

[0095] This embodiment of the disclosure shows that the module ensures the electrical connection between the driving circuit chip 1 and the chip pad 2 through the conductive film 3 by making the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 equal to 300 micrometers to 600 micrometers. When the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 is less than 300 micrometers, the thickness of the driving circuit chip 1 is too thin, affecting the strength of the driving circuit chip 1; when the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 is greater than 600 micrometers, the thickness of the driving circuit chip 1 is too thick, reducing the heat dissipation performance of the driving circuit chip 1.

The thickness of the cover plate 30 is the average dimension of the cover plate 30 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel.

[0098] This embodiment of the disclosure shows that by making the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 less than the thickness H4 of the cover plate 30, the driving circuit chip 1 and the cover plate 30 will not interfere with each other.

[0099] In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness H4 of the cover plate ranges from 420 μm to 840 μm (inclusive). For example, the thickness H4 of the cover plate ranges from 700 μm to 800 μm (inclusive).

[0100] Figure 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a chip pad in a display module according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. The chip pad shown in Figure 9 can be the same as the chip pad shown in Figure 7. In the exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 7 and 9, the thickness of the pad body 2-1 of the chip pad 2 is H2, and the thickness H2 of the pad body 2-1 and the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 of the driving circuit chip 1 satisfy the relationship: H2 > H1.

For example, the thickness h2 of the bonding pin 2-2 and the thickness H2 of the pad body 2-1 satisfy the relationship: h2 / H2 = 0.015% to 0.025% (inclusive). Here, the thickness of the bonding pin 2-2 is the average dimension of the bonding pin 2-2 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel.

For example, the thickness h2 of the bonding pin 2-2 and the thickness h1 of the chip pin 1-2 satisfy the relationship: h2 / h1 = 1% to 2% (inclusive).

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness h2 of the bonding pin 2-2 ranges from 0.1µm to 0.2µm (inclusive). For example, the thickness h2 of the bonding pin 2-2 ranges from 0.13µm to 0.17µm (inclusive).

[0106] Figure 10 is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a conductive film in a display module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

The thickness of the insulating body 3-1 is the average dimension of the insulating body 3-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel.

[0107] This embodiment of the module shows that the thickness H3 of the insulating body 3-1 is greater than the sum of the thickness h1 of the chip pin 1-2 and the thickness h2 of the bonding pin 2-2. This ensures that the insulating body 3-1 can fully fill the gap between the chip recess 1-3 and the pad recess 2-3, so that the insulating body 3-1 can make complete contact with the inner wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the inner wall of the pad recess 2-3, thus avoiding air bubbles in the chip recess 1-3 and the pad recess 2-3.

[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness H3 of the insulating body 3-1 and the thickness H1 of the chip body 1-1 satisfy the following relationship: H3 / H1 = 2% to 8.5% (inclusive). The thickness H3 of the insulating body 3-1 and the thickness H2 of the pad body 2-1 satisfy the following relationship: H3 / H2 = 1.4% to 3.6% (inclusive).

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 is L1. The distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 satisfies the relationship H3 of the insulating body 3-1: H3 > L1. Wherein, the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 is the average distance between the bottom walls of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom walls of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z).

[0111] This embodiment of the module shows that the thickness H3 of the insulating body 3-1 is greater than the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3. This ensures that the insulating body 3-1 can fully fill the gap between the chip recess 1-3 and the pad recess 2-3, so that the insulating body 3-1 can fully contact the inner wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the inner wall of the pad recess 2-3, thus avoiding the formation of air bubbles in the chip recess 1-3 and the pad recess 2-3.

[0112] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 satisfies the relationship H3 of the insulating body 3-1: H3-L1 > 3um to 5um. For example, the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 satisfies the relationship H3 of the insulating body 3-1: H3-L1 > 3.5um to 4.5um.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness H3 of the insulating body 3-1 ranges from 12µm to 25µm (inclusive). For example, the thickness H3 of the insulating body 3-1 ranges from 17µm to 20µm (inclusive).

[0114] In an exemplary embodiment, the length of the chip groove 1-3 of the driving circuit chip 1 in the first direction X is d1, and the diameter of the second particle 3-2-2 in the first direction X is d2. The length d1 of the chip groove 1-3 in the first direction X and the diameter d2 of the second particle 3-2-2 in the first direction X satisfy the relationship: d1 / d2 > 2 to 5 (including the end value). For example, the length d1 of the chip groove 1-3 in the first direction X and the diameter d2 of the second particle 3-2-2 in the first direction X satisfy the relationship: d1 / d2 > 3 to 4 (including the end value). Wherein, the length of the chip groove 1-3 in the first direction X is the average distance in the first direction X between the sidewall of one chip pin 1-2 closest to the other chip pin 1-2 and the sidewall of the other chip pin 1-2 closest to one chip pin 1-2; the diameter of the second particle 3-2-2 in the first direction X is the maximum size of the conductive particle 3-2 in the first direction X.

[0115] This embodiment of the disclosure shows that the module ensures that at least two second particles 3-2-2 are arranged along the first direction X between adjacent chip pins 1-2 by having a ratio of the length d1 of the chip groove 1-3 in the first direction X to the diameter d2 of the second particle 3-2-2 in the first direction X greater than 2 to 5. The at least two second particles 3-2-2 are mutually insulated, thereby ensuring that adjacent chip pins 1-2 are mutually insulated and avoiding short circuits.

[0116] In an exemplary embodiment, the diameter d2 of the second particle 3-2-2 in the first direction X ranges from d2 = 3 μm to 5 μm (inclusive). For example, the diameter d2 of the second particle 3-2-2 in the first direction X ranges from d2 = 3.5 μm to 4.5 μm (inclusive).

The diameter d3 of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z) and the distance L2 between chip pin 1-2 and the corresponding bonding pin 2-2 satisfy the relationship: L2 < d3. Wherein, the distance L2 between chip pin 1-2 and the corresponding bonding pin 2-2 is the average distance between the end of chip pin 1-2 closest to the corresponding bonding pin 2-2 and the end of the corresponding bonding pin 2-2 closest to chip pin 1-2 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z); the diameter of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z) is the maximum size of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z).

[0118] In this embodiment of the display module, the distance L2 between the chip pin 1-2 and the corresponding bonding pin 2-2 is less than the diameter d3 of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z). This allows the first particle 3-2-1 to be compressed by the chip pin 1-2 and the bonding pin 2-2, so that the first particle 3-2-1 contacts the chip pin 1-2 and the bonding pin 2-2 respectively in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z), ensuring that the first particle 3-2-1 electrically connects the chip pin 1-2 and the bonding pin 2-2.

[0120] In this embodiment of the display module, the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 is greater than the diameter d3 of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z). This ensures that the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 are mutually insulated, thereby preventing the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 from being electrically connected through the first particle 3-2-1.

[0121] In an exemplary embodiment, the diameter d3 of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z) and the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip recess 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad recess 2-3 satisfy the relationship: d3 / L1 = 20%~25% (inclusive).

[0122] In this embodiment of the display module, the diameter d3 of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z) and the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the chip groove 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad groove 2-3 are 20% to 25%, which ensures that the bottom wall of the chip groove 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad groove 2-3 are mutually insulated, thereby avoiding electrical connection between the bottom wall of the chip groove 1-3 and the bottom wall of the corresponding pad groove 2-3 through the first particle 3-2-1.

[0123] In an exemplary embodiment, the diameter d3 of the first particle 3-2-1 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel (third direction Z) ranges from 3µm to 5µm (inclusive).
