Bonding Member Eliminates Middle Frame for Full-Screen Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing display module designs are hindered by a middle frame that occupies space on the front side, preventing full-screen optimization of the display panel.
Innovation Solution
A bonding member, comprising multiple bonding members, is used to bind the display panel, optical film layer, light guide plate, and backplane together, eliminating the need for a middle frame and allowing for a full-screen display by filling recessed regions and providing a buffering and decorative effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a middle frame is used to mount the display panel, optical component, and backplane together, then the structural stability is improved, but the display area is reduced due to the frame occupying space on the front side
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the middle frame component from the display module structure. Instead of using a separate frame to mount components, the display panel itself serves as the mounting substrate, with its peripheral area used for structural support and component attachment. This extraction of the frame eliminates the obstruction to the display area while maintaining structural integrity through alternative mounting arrangements.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel is assigned multiple functions: it serves both as the light-emitting display surface and as the structural mounting substrate for the optical component and backplane. The peripheral area of the display panel performs dual roles of providing structural support and enabling component attachment, eliminating the need for a separate middle frame and maximizing the display area.
2Strength
If a middle frame is used for mounting components, then the structural support is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the mounting function into the display panel itself, combining the display function and structural support function into a single component. The display panel's peripheral area is utilized for mounting the optical component and backplane, eliminating the need for a separate middle frame and reducing the overall number of components in the display module.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel serves as both the display surface and the structural mounting substrate. By making the display panel multi-functional, the patent eliminates additional components like the middle frame, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining adequate structural support through the panel's inherent strength and the distribution of mounting points across its peripheral area.
3Area of stationary object
If the peripheral area of the display panel is used for mounting, then the full-screen display is achieved, but the mounting strength may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mounting function across multiple locations on the display panel's peripheral area. Instead of relying on a single frame structure, separate mounting members are distributed around the periphery to attach different components (optical component, backplane). This segmentation of mounting points distributes the mechanical stress and maintains mounting strength while allowing the display area to extend to the edges of the panel.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different mounting characteristics to different regions of the display panel's peripheral area. Specific local regions are reinforced or equipped with mounting members tailored to the requirements of each component being attached. This localized approach to mounting ensures adequate strength at each mounting point while preserving the overall full-screen display area.

AI summary
A display module includes a display panel, an optical film layer arranged on a side of the display panel, a light guide plate arranged on a side of the optical film layer away from the display panel, a backplane arranged on a side of the light guide plate away from the display panel, and a bonding member. The bonding member bonds together the display panel, the optical film layer, the light guide plate, and the backplane.
