This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210503960.4, filed May 10, 2022, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present application relates to the display field, more particularly, to a backlight module and a display device.
With the wide application of notebook, consumers' requirements for notebook are getting higher and higher. Large screen, narrow bezel, light weight and technological innovation have become the four major trends of notebook development. Most notebook displays in the market are liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystal displays are non-active luminous electronic devices, which do not possess light emitting characteristics. They must rely on the light emitted by the light source in the backlight module to obtain display performance. The brightness of liquid crystal displays depends on its backlight module. It can be seen that the performance of backlight module directly affects the display quality of notebook display.
The two main positioning components in the backlight module are the middle frame and the backplate. Abnormal positioning of the middle frame and the backplate can easily lead to the optical diaphragm falling off, bending deformation, light leakage and other phenomena, which will lead to abnormal display picture, which is a problem that should not be underestimated.
There are provided a backlight module and a display device according to embodiments of the present application. The technical solution is as below:

Referring to
The middle frame 200 is provided with a connecting post 210, the bottom plate 120 is provided with a positioning hole 121, the positioning hole 121 may be a round hole, and the main structure of the connecting post 210 may be a cylinder. In a radial direction of the connecting post 210, the connecting post 210 is provided in the positioning hole 121. The backlight module also includes a connecting piece provided on the side of the bottom plate 120 away from the middle frame 200, and the connecting piece connects the bottom plate 120 and the connecting post 210, i.e., the connecting piece connects the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200.
It should be noted that the backplate 100 may include the bottom plate 120 and the side plate 110 provided at the edge of the bottom plate 120 but is not limited thereto, and the backplate 100 may also include only the bottom plate 120, as the case may be. The positioning hole 121 may be a round hole, and the main structure of the connecting post 210 may be a cylinder, but is not limited thereto. The positioning hole 121 may also be provided as a rectangular hole or the like, and the corresponding connecting post 210 may also be provided as a rectangular post, depending on the specific situation. The bottom plate 120 may be a rectangular metal plate, and the middle frame 200 may be a rectangular or door-shaped plastic frame, but is not limited thereto. The specific formation and material of the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 may be selected according to the structure of the lamp panel and the optical diaphragm of the backlight module.
In the present application, the connecting post 210 is provided on the middle frame 200, the positioning hole 121 is disposed on the bottom plate 120, the connecting post 210 is disposed in the positioning hole 121, and the connecting piece is disposed on the side of the bottom plate 120 away from the middle frame 200. The connecting piece connects the bottom plate 120 and the connecting post 210, that is, the connecting piece connects the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200. Compared with the solution that the middle frame 200 and the bottom plate 120 are directly glued, the technical solution of the present application can avoid glue sticking to the optical diaphragm, thereby avoiding abnormal display pictures.
Further, the connecting piece is provided on the side of the bottom plate 120 away from the middle frame 200 so that the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 can be more easily disassembled. In an axial direction of the connecting post 210, the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 are connected by the connecting piece, and in the radial direction of the connecting post 210, the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 are positioned by the connecting post 210 and the positioning hole 121, so that there is no need to limit the position by the side plate 110, and the middle frame 200 is more easily installed in the middle of the side plate 110 and the assembly efficiency is higher.
It should be noted that the connecting piece may include but is not limited to the adhesive layer 300, and the connecting piece may also include a buckle or the like as the case may be.
The connecting piece includes the adhesive layer 300. The adhesive layer 300 is disposed on the side of the bottom plate 120 away from the middle frame 200. Compared with the solution that glue is applied to the side of the bottom plate 120 close to the middle frame 200, the technical solution of the present application has a wider dispensing surface and features easier dispensing, thereby improving production efficiency of the backlight module.
In addition, if glue is applied to the side of the bottom plate 120 close to the middle frame 200, when the middle frame 200 and the backplate 100 are disassembled, the middle frame 200 is easily damaged. Even if the middle frame 200 is not damaged, a large amount of glue will remain on the middle frame 200, and cleaning the residual glue on the middle frame 200 will consume a lot of work. However, in the technical solution of the present application, only the glue solidified on the side of the back bottom plate 120 away from the middle frame 200 needs to be tom off during disassembly, and then the middle frame 200 is removed, so that the disassembly is simple and labor-saving, the removed middle frame 200 is complete and has no damage and no glue residue, thus avoiding unnecessary workload.
Referring to
When the outer diameter of the connecting post 210 is less than or equal to the diameter of the positioning hole 121, the connecting post 210 can be easily installed in the positioning hole 121. Such a design reduces the assembly difficulty of the middle frame 200 and the backplate 100.
When the outer diameter of the connecting post 210 is larger than the diameter of the positioning hole 121, glue on the side of the bottom plate 120 away from the middle frame 200 cannot flow through the positioning hole 121 on the side of the bottom plate 120 close to the middle frame 200, thereby further preventing glue from sticking to the optical diaphragm.
Referring to
It should be noted that the height of the connecting post 210 may be larger than, but not limited to, the thickness of the bottom plate 120, and the height of the connecting post 210 may also be smaller than the thickness of the bottom plate 120, that is, one end of the connecting post 210 away from the middle frame 200 may be slightly recessed into the positioning hole 121, as the case may be.
The height of the connecting post 210 is larger than the thickness of the bottom plate 120, and one end of the connecting post 210 away from the middle frame 200 protrudes from the positioning hole 121. When the bottom plate 120 and the connecting post 210 are bonded by the adhesive layer 300, the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer 300 is larger, and the bottom plate 120 and the connecting post 210 can be bonded more firmly, that is, the connection between the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 is more secure.
Referring to
It should be noted that the annular groove 211 may be provided on the side wall of the connecting post 210, but is not limited thereto, and some pits may be provided on the side wall of the connecting post 210, and the pits may be of any shape, as the case may be.
The connecting post 210 is provided with the annular groove 211, a part of the adhesive layer 300 fills the annular groove 211, and a part of the adhesive layer 300 is located outside the annular groove 211. The slippage between the adhesive layer 300 and the connecting post 210 can be avoided by the annular groove 211, and the bottom plate 120 and the connecting post 210 are more firmly bonded, that is, the backplate 100 can be more firmly connected with the middle frame 200. The annular groove 211 is integrally disposed outside the positioning hole 121, so that glue can easily fill the annular groove 211, and the bottom plate 120 and the connecting post 210 can be bonded more firmly, that is, the connection between the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 is stronger.
Referring to
It should be noted that the number of the connecting posts 210 may be plural but not limited thereto, and only one connecting post 210 may be provided depending on the case.
A plurality of connecting posts 210 may be provided and disposed at intervals around the center of the middle frame 200. The number and position of the positioning holes 121 are adapted to the connecting posts 210, that is, the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 are connected together by a plurality of connecting posts 210, so that the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 can be connected more firmly.
When the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 are connected together by a plurality of connecting posts 210, the adhesive layer 300 is configured of an integral structure and fills in the annular groove 211 of each of the connecting posts 210, that is, glue isn't dispensed around the plurality of connecting posts 210, and the circles of glue around the connecting posts 210 are disconnected, but the edge of the bottom plate 120 provided with a positioning hole 121 is completely coated with a circle of glue.
It should be noted that the adhesive layer 300 may be configured of an integral structure, but is not limited thereto, and a circle of glue around each connecting post 210 may not be connected, depending on the specific situation. The circle of glue around each connecting post 210 is not connected to each other, so that the amount of glue can be saved and the material cost can be saved to a certain extent.
In the technical solution of the present application, the adhesive layer 300 may be configured of an integral structure, when the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 need to be detached, the adhesive layer 300 can be removed as a whole, and the efficiency of removing the adhesive layer 300 as a whole is higher than that of detaching circles of glue around the connecting posts 210 one by one.
Referring to
It should be noted that the bottom plate 120 may include the intermediate portion 122 and the edge portion 123 surrounding the intermediate portion 122, and the intermediate portion 122 protrudes in a direction away from the middle frame 200, but is not limited thereto, and the bottom plate 120 may also be provided in a flat plate structure, as the case may be. The backplate 100 is provided in a flat structure, and the backplate 100 is simpler in structure and easier to manufacture.
In the technical solution of the present application, the bottom plate 120 may include the intermediate portion 122 and the edge portion 123 surrounding the intermediate portion 122. The intermediate portion 122 protrudes in the direction away from the middle frame 200. When the edge portion 123 is applied with glue, the protruded intermediate portion 122 can play a blocking role to prevent the glue applied on the edge portion 123 from flowing to the intermediate portion 122, thereby ensuring the thickness of the applied glue to a certain extent and making the connection between the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 firmer.
Referring to
Under the condition that the thickness of glue applied to the bottom plate 120 is the same, when the first annular area 213 is located in the positioning hole 121 and the second annular area 214 is located outside the positioning hole 121, a part of the glue flows into the first annular area 213 in the positioning hole 121, thus increasing the thickness of the adhesive layer 300 and the bonding surface between the connecting post 210 and the bottom plate 120. The bottom plate 120 and the connecting post 210 are bonded more firmly, that is, the connection between the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 is more firmly.
For example, a ratio of the first annular area 213 to the annular groove 211 in the axial direction of the connecting post 210 ranges from 20% to 80%, for example, a ratio of the first annular area 213 to the annular groove 211 ranges from 20%, 40%, 60% or 60%, etc. The ratio of the depth of the annular groove 211 to the radius of the connecting post 210 ranges from 5% to 50%. For example, the ratio of the depth of the annular groove 211 to the radius of the connecting post 210 ranges from 5%, 20%, 35%, 50%, etc.
The ratio of the first annular area 213 to the annular groove 211 ranges from 20% to 80%, so that the first annular area 213 is being so large as to interfere with the flow of glue into the annular groove 211, resulting in the annular groove 211 not being filled with glue. The first annular area 213 is not so small that it does not have the effect of enhancing the connection between the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200. The ratio of the depth of the annular groove 211 to the radius of the connecting post 210 is 5% to 50%, the depth of the annular groove 211 is not so large as to interfere with the structural strength of the connecting post 210, and the depth of the annular groove 211 is not too small, so as to prevent the adhesive layer 300 from being embedded in the annular groove 211 too small, resulting in a decrease in the connection strength between the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200.
Referring to
It should be noted that the angle created between the side surface of the annular groove 211 away from the middle frame 200 and the bottom surface of the annular groove 211 is greater than 90 degrees, but is not limited thereto, and the angle created between the side surface of the annular groove 211 away from the middle frame 200 and the bottom surface of the annular groove 211 is greater than 90 degrees or less than or equal to 90 degrees, as the case may be. When the angle created between the side surface of the annular groove 211 away from the middle frame 200 and the bottom surface of the annular groove 211 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, the annular groove 211 is easier to be machined. When the angle created between the side surface of the annular groove 211 away from the middle frame 200 and the bottom surface of the annular groove 211 is less than 90 degrees, even if the adhesive layer 300 in the first annular area 213 falls off from the wall of the annular groove 211, the adhesive layer 300 in the first annular area 213 cannot be separated from the annular groove 211 due to the small opening of the annular groove 211, thereby ensuring that the adhesive layer 300 and the connecting post 210 can be glued tightly.
The angle created between the side surface of the annular groove 211 away from the middle frame 200 and the bottom surface of the annular groove 211 is greater than 90 degrees, and the side surface of the annular groove 211 away from the middle frame 200 forms a flow-guiding inclined plane 212, so that the glue applied on the side of the bottom plate 120 away from the middle frame 200 is more easily flowed into the annular groove 211, avoiding that the glue cannot fill the annular groove 211 to cause the connection strength between the backplate 100 and the middle frame 200 to be reduced.
