Display Panel Frame Alignment for Flat Appearance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display panel designs with metal frames protruding from the surface fail to achieve a flat appearance, which is necessary for high-taste design requirements in electronic products.
Innovation Solution
A display panel configuration that includes a first and second substrate, polarizers, and a frame where the frame's upper surface is aligned with the polarizers' surface, eliminating the need for a metal frame and outer frame, resulting in a flat appearance.

1Shape
If a metal frame is used to cover the upper surface of the display panel and combine to the backlight module, then the structural support and assembly are improved, but the flat appearance requirement is not met as the metal frame and outer frame protrude from the surface
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the metal frame and outer frame components from the conventional display structure. By extracting these protruding elements, the display panel achieves a flat appearance where the polarizer surface is flush with the substrate surface, eliminating the need for additional covering frames while maintaining structural integrity through direct integration of the frame layer with the display components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the frame structure with the display panel components by integrating the frame layer directly with the substrate and polarizer assembly. This combination eliminates the need for separate metal frames and outer frames, as the frame becomes an integral part of the display structure, achieving both structural support and flat appearance simultaneously

AI summary
A display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a first polarizer, a second polarizer and a frame. The frame contacts with a first surface and a first side of the first substrate, a second surface and a second side of the second substrate, and a third side of the first polarizer. The frame has a fourth surface and a fourth side connecting to the fourth surface, and the fourth side is disposed corresponding to the second side. In a first direction perpendicular to the first surface, a shortest distance between the fourth and first surfaces is a first distance, a shortest distance between the fourth and first surfaces is a second distance, and a shortest distance between the third and first surfaces is a third distance. The third distance is substantially equal to the first distance, and the first distance and the second distance are different.
