CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a 35 U.S.C. 371 national stage application of PCT International Application No. PCT/CN2018/110193, filed on Oct. 15, 2018, which claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201711048279.0 filed on Oct. 31, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a backlight module and a display device.

BACKGROUND

A backlight module and a display panel are important components of a liquid crystal display, wherein the backlight module comprises a light source and a light guide plate for providing sufficient and uniform planar backlight for the liquid crystal display, and the display panel is used for displaying images. Generally, the backlight module is divided into two types: a side-incidence backlight module and a bottom-incidence backlight module. The side-incidence backlight module uses one side of the light guide plate as a light incident surface and a light bar located at the light incident surface as a light source, a light emitting surface of the light source is facing the light incident surface of the light guide plate, and the light emitted by the light source is exited from the light exiting surface (upper surface) of the light guide plate after being guided by the light guide plate and irradiated onto the liquid crystal panel for display. The bottom-incidence backlight module uses a bottom surface of the light guide plate as the light incident surface, the light source is located at the bottom surface of the light guide plate, the light enters the light guide plate from the bottom surface of the light guide plate, and after being guided by the light guide plate, the light exits from the light exiting surface (upper surface) of the light guide plate and irradiates onto the liquid crystal panel for display.

With the gradual increase of display resolution, the power consumption of the display panel is also increasing, thus causing heat generation of some areas (such as areas provided with integrated circuits) of the display panel to also increase. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, an area where the display panel has a large amount of heat generation will be referred to as a heat concentrated area. For example, an area provided with an integrated circuit of a display panel belongs to a heat concentrated area.

During operation, the temperature in the heat concentrated area of the display panel will generally reach above 42° C., which causes the display panel to be unable to meet the use requirements as a touch screen. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the heat dissipation problem in the heat concentrated area of the display panel. As well known, the display panel is generally assembled on the backlight module. To solve the heat dissipation problem in the heat concentrated area of the display panel, it is necessary to start with the thermal coupling mode between the display panel and the backlight module, so that the heat generated from the heat concentrated area of the display panel can be quickly dissipated from the backlight module to the outside. However, the current backlight module design cannot meet this requirement.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an improved backlight module design that can quickly dissipate heat generated from a heat concentrated area of a display panel from the backlight module to the outside.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts are within the scope of protection in the present disclosure. Some embodiments may be described by using the expression “one embodiment” or “some embodiments” along with their derivatives. These terms mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. The phrase “in one embodiment” appearing in various places in the application does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The words “first”, “second”, “third” and the like are only used as labels to distinguish elements and are not intended to impose numerical and order requirements on their objects. It should be understood that the terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances and that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein are capable of operation in a different order than described or illustrated herein.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes a light guide plate 6, a light source 7, a heat sink 8, and a heat conducting device 3. The light source 7 is disposed adjacent to a light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6. The light incident surface 61 is an upright side surface of the light guide plate 6. A light emitting surface of the light source 7 faces the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6. The light emitted by the light source 7 is guided by the light guide plate 6 and then exited from a light exiting surface 62 (upper surface in FIG. 1) of the light guide plate 6 to irradiate onto the display panel 5 for display. The heat conducting device 3 (including a filling member 1 and a heat conducting member 2) as a whole serves as a good thermal conductor, rapidly conducts heat generated by the display panel 5 to the heat sink 8, and then dissipates the heat to the surrounding environment so as to rapidly cool the display panel 5.

The light guide plate 6 has a substantially parallelepiped shape, and has an upright light incident surface 61, as well as a light exiting surface 62 and a bottom surface 63 opposite to each other. It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, FIG. 1 illustrates a side-incidence backlight module as an example, but it should be understood that the backlight module of the present disclosure can also be a bottom-incidence backlight module, and only the light source 7 located at the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6 in FIG. 1 needs to be moved to the bottom surface 63 of the light guide plate 6.

The light source 7 may be a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) or an LED strip. The light source 7 is configured such that light emitted from the light source 7 enters the light guide plate 6 from the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6, exits the light guide plate 6 from the light exiting surface 62 of the light guide plate 6 after being uniformly mixed inside the light guide plate 6 to irradiate onto the display panel 5 for display.

The heat sink 8 is made of a good thermal conductive material, for example, a metal (for example, iron) having a certain strength and rigidity. In addition to rapidly dissipating heat generated by the display panel 5 into the surrounding environment through heat conduction by the heat conducting device 3, the heat sink 8 is also used to support the light guide plate 6 and the light source 7, and uses its bottom surface 81 to re-reflect light escaping from the bottom surface 63 of the light guide plate 6 back into the light guide plate 6 to improve the utilization rate of light. In other words, the shape of the heat sink 8 at the side of the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6 is generally a U-shaped bent shape (hereinafter referred to as a U-shaped bending structure) with an opening toward the light incident surface 61, and its function is to reflect the light emitted from the light source back into the light guide plate as much as possible to improve the light utilization efficiency.

The heat sink 8 is configured to partially accommodate the light guide plate 6 and the light source 7. As shown in FIG. 1, the heat sink 8 includes a bottom surface 81 for supporting the light guide plate 6, an upright side surface 82 substantially parallel to the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6, and a top surface 83 provided on the light exiting surface 62 of the light guide plate 6. The distance that the top surface 83 of the heat sink 8 extends over the light exiting surface 62 of the light guide plate 6 in a direction perpendicular to the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6 is smaller than the distance that the bottom surface 81 of the heat sink 8 extends under the bottom surface 63 of the light guide plate 6 in a direction perpendicular to the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6. In other words, the area of the top surface 83 of the heat sink 8 covering the light exiting surface 62 of the light guide plate 6 is smaller than the area of the bottom surface 81 of the heat sink 8 covering the bottom surface 63 of the light guide plate 6.

The bottom surface 81, the side surface 82 and the top surface 83 of the heat sink 8 together define a U-shaped bending structure 85, which encloses the bottom surface 63, the light incident surface 61 and part of the light exiting surface 62 adjacent to the light incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 6.

The heat conducting device 3 includes a filling member 1 and a heat conducting member 2 located on the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure. The heat conducting device 3 is disposed between the heat sink 8 and the display panel 5 to conduct heat generated from the display panel 5 to the heat sink 8. The filling member 1 is introduced to reduce the production cost of the heat conducting device 3, because the price of the filling member 1 is much lower than that of the heat conducting member 2 (especially the thermal conductive adhesive 21), and is usually made of a poor thermal conductive material, such as adhesive tape. Although the adhesive tape is a poor thermal conductor, the introduction of the adhesive tape is not conducive to heat dissipation and heat conduction between the display panel and the U-shaped bending structure, but it can significantly reduce the cost. At the same time, since the heat conducting member 2 (especially it also includes the thermal conductive adhesive 21) is made of a good thermal conductor, the heat conducting device 3 including the filling member 1 and the heat conducting member 2 according to the present disclosure not only can meet the requirements of heat dissipation and heat conduction between the display panel 5 and the U-shaped bending structure 85, but also has cost advantage and good market competitiveness.

The heat conducting member 2 of the heat conducting device 3 includes: a first section 21 located on a surface of the filling member 1 facing away from the U-shaped bending structure 85; a second section 22 located on the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85 and arranged side by side with the filling member 1; and, a third section 23 interposed between the first section 21 and the second section 22, wherein the first section 21 is adapted to be in thermal contact with the display panel 5 and the second section 22 is adapted to be in thermal contact with the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 2, the backlight module further includes a frame 9 for supporting the display panel 5, which encloses the peripheral portion of the light guide plate 6 that is not enclosed by the U-shaped bending structure 85. Generally, in the thickness direction of the light guide plate 6, the height of the top surface of the frame 9 is greater than the height of the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85. For convenience of description, the height difference between the top surface of the frame 9 and the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85 will be referred to as a level difference. Due to the presence of the level difference, the display panel 5 cannot be stably supported on the frame 9, which easily causes damage to the display panel 5 or even risks of breakage. In the backlight module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the heat conducting device 3 is provided in an area corresponding to the level difference on the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85 (only the filling member 1 is shown in FIG. 2 and the heat conducting member 2 is not shown for simplicity). Optionally, the thickness of the heat conducting device 3 is approximately the height difference between the top surface of the frame 9 and the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85. By arranging the heat conducting device 3, the level difference between the top surface of the frame 9 and the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85 is well filled up, so that the display panel 5 can be stably supported by the frame 9 and the heat conducting device 3. In this way, the display panel 5 is effectively protected, and the service life of the display panel 5 is extended.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIGS. 3-5, the heat conducting member 2 of the heat conducting device 3 includes a plurality of thermal conductive strips (in the local heat conducting device 3 shown in FIG. 3, there are three thermal conductive strips), and the positions of the plurality of thermal conductive strips on the filling member 1 correspond to the positions of the heat concentrated areas (e.g., is the areas where the integrated circuits are located) of the display panel 5. The heat conducting member 2 is, for example, a thermal conductive pad made of a good thermal conductive material. The thermal conductive pad is made of at least one of the following materials: thermal conductive rubber; thermal conductive silicone; and thermal conductive ceramics.

Further, a side of the thermal conductive pad for thermal contact with the display panel 5 is coated with the thermal conductive adhesive layer 21, and the side of the thermal conductive pad for thermal contact with the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85 is also coated with the thermal conductive adhesive layer 21 (see FIG. 5). The thermal conductive adhesive layer 21 of the thermal conductive pad is colloid doped with high thermal conductive ceramic particles. For example, the colloid comprises at least one of the following materials: glass fiber and acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive; and acrylic polymer and silicone adhesive.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the filling member 1 is an adhesive tape, and the adhesive tape is a double-sided adhesive tape coated with adhesive layers on both sides, which includes two adhesive layers 12 and 13 and a PET layer 11 sandwiched between the two adhesive layers 12 and 13, and the two adhesive layers 12 and 13 are respectively bonded to the thermal conductive pad and the U-shaped bending structure 85.

Referring to FIG. 3, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the filling member 1 is an adhesive tape, and the adhesive tape is a single-sided adhesive tape coated with an adhesive layer on one side, which comprises a PET layer 11 and a lower adhesive layer 12, wherein the adhesive layer 12 is bonded to the U-shaped bending structure 85, and the PET layer 11 is bonded to the thermal conductive adhesive layer 21 of the thermal conductive pad.

During assembly, the light source 7 and the light guide plate 6 are first assembled into the heat sink 8 so that the light source 7 and the light guide plate 6 are partially accommodated by the heat sink 8. Then, the frame 9 encloses the peripheral portion of the light guide plate 6 that is not enclosed by the U-shaped bending structure 85. Finally, the heat conducting device 3 is provided in an area corresponding to the above-mentioned level difference on the top surface 83 of the U-shaped bending structure 85 of the heat sink 8. Since the heat conducting device 3 includes a thermal conductive pad made of good thermal conductive material, especially the thermal conductive pad includes a thermal conductive adhesive layer 21 made of good thermal conductive material, heat generated in the display panel 5 is quickly conducted to the heat sink 8 through the heat conducting device 3 and dissipated from the heat sink to the surrounding environment.

Experiments prove that by arranging the heat conducting device 3, the temperature of the heat concentrated area of the display panel 5 can be reduced from above 42° C. to below 40° C., so that a human hand can be placed on the display panel 5 to touch, and the display panel 5 can meet the requirement of acting as a touch screen.

Alternatively, the heat conducting member 2 may be provided only in the heat concentrated area of the display panel 5, and the heat conducting member 2 may not be provided in the non-heat concentrated area of the display panel 5. Instead, the inexpensive filling member 1 (e.g., a double-sided adhesive tape) may be used in the non-heat concentrated area of the display panel 5. The production cost of the whole backlight module is further reduced.

On the other hand, by using the double-sided adhesive tape, the backlight module can be prevented from being separated from the display panel 5 during transportation or use, that is, the fixation of the display panel 5 can be achieved, and the stability of the entire display device is improved.

On the other hand, while thermally coupling the display panel 5 and the heat sink 8 well, the above-mentioned specific heat-conducting device 3 including the filling member 1 and the heat-conducting member 2 has been proved by experiments to be beneficial to prevent the display device from generating light leakage, non-uniform display brightness (mura) or spot marks.

The present disclosure also provides a display device including the backlight module described above and a display panel 5 thermally coupled to the backlight module.

In the display device provided according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the heat conducting device 3 is provided at a position corresponding to a heat concentrated area of the display panel 5, and the thermal conductive pad is provided in the heat conducting device 3 to rapidly transfer heat of the display panel to the heat sink 8, thereby solving the problem that the display panel cannot meet the use requirement as a touch screen due to poor heat dissipation and high temperature of the display panel itself.

The embodiment of the disclosure also provides a display device, which comprises a display panel and any of the backlight modules in the above embodiments.
