The present application claims the priority of the Chinese Patent Application No. 202020565517.6 filed to the Chinese Patent Office on Apr. 16, 2020, entitled “display apparatus”, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display apparatus.
Static electricity is an objective natural phenomenon, and is generated in various ways, such as contact, friction, and induction between electric appliances. The static electricity has characteristics of long-time accumulation, high voltage, low power, small current and short action time. The static electricity causes serious harm in multiple fields. Electricity by friction and human body static electricity are two major hazards in the electronic industry, and often cause unstable operation and even damage of electronic and electric products.
A general complete machine electrostatic (ESD) standard is an IEC 61000-4-2 standard in which ESD requirements are at a B grade (CLASS B). With the development of society, the living standard of people is continuously improved, requirements on a product become higher and higher with experience requirements of a customer. For a outdoor product or a rail transit product, the original CLASS B cannot meet the requirements of a customer on a display product, the current requirements on a product is improved to be at an A grade (CLASS A) from the CLASS B. That is, a screen flash should not exist in the display product. The upgrading of the grade of the ESD requirements causes the problem that ESD test fail (NG) occurs in a plurality of sorts of complete machine products. In order to meet test requirements of the customer and assist the customer to successfully pass the ESD test for the product, an ESD resistance of the complete machine needs to be improved.

An ESD standard waveform is shown in
λ=c/f Equation 1
where λ denotes a wavelength, c denotes the speed of light (specifically 3*108 m/s), and f denotes a frequency.
The wavelength of 3 m is derived according to the equation 1 by taking a high frequency signal of 100 MHz as an example. For a current complete machine of 30 inches or more, a length from the discharge point to the ground point is conservatively estimated to be 0.5 m, and thus, 0.5*10=5 m. Thus, the wavelength of 3 m is less than 10 times the length of the cable (i.e., the conservative estimate of 5 m). Therefore, the ESD discharge path is the common ground plane, but the generated ESD interference belongs to a high frequency signal so that the ground plane becomes a transmission line of the ESD signal. Therefore, an ESD discharge path having a minimum impedance should be analyzed by considering an impedance of each path according to the transmission line.
In the related art, a complete machine product generally includes a housing 201, a back plate 202, a metal bezel 203, a display module 204, a display driving board 205, a system board 206, a power board 207, a backlight driving board 208, and an LED lamp matrix (a matrix of LED lamps) 209, as shown in
Due to the good electric conductivity, there is no significant difference in impedance among the housing 201, the back plate 202 and the display driving board 205, the ESD signal enters the complete machine through the housing 201 and may run around inside the complete machine. The ESD signal is not only discharged from the housing 201 to the ground, but also enters the display driving board 205 from the display module 204 through an ITO conductive layer and a ground silver paste point, and then a part of the ESD signal enters the back plate 202 through the exposed copper area from the display driving board 205 and then is introduced to the ground through the housing 201. The remaining part of the ESD signal is introduced to the system board 206 through a ground wire and then passes through a connection point between the system board 206 and the housing 201 and is introduced to the ground from the housing 201, as shown in
As can be seen from
It is known that the ESD signal is discharged through an electrostatic gun in contact with the discharge point on the housing 201. Ideally, the ESD signal is introduced into the ground by directly entering the ground points from the housing 201, so that the complete machine system is not affected at all, which generally cannot be achieved. The ESD signal enters the housing 201 through the discharge point, passes to the metal bezel 203 from the housing 201, to the back plate 202 from the metal bezel 203, and is introduced to the ground from the back plate 202 connected to the housing 201 through the conductive screw, and such a discharge path will not greatly affect the complete machine system. A key point of affecting the complete machine system is the display driving board 205. The display driving board 205 is connected to the system board 206. Once a signal ground plane, as a reference, formed by the ground wires connected to the display driving board 205 and the system board 206, is greatly disturbed, the complete machine is affected in receiving a signal, which affects the display effect of the complete machine, and once the screen flash occurs, the human eye immediately notices it. Therefore, both the ESD interferences entering the display driving board 205 from the display module 204 and from the back plate 202 need to be concerned in the ESD protection design for the complete machine.
In order to prevent the device from being damaged by the ESD interference, the ESD signal is usually discharged by adding a transient diode (i.e., a TVS tube) to an input terminal of the display driving board 205 in the related art. However, a clamping voltage of the TVS tube is limited, a display input signal usually has a small voltage in a range from about 1.2V to about 1.8V, the TVS tube with an excellent performance may clamp the voltage to a value in a range from 7 V to 8V. It is not theoretically possible to cause the display input signal to be not affected by the ESD interference at all, and the TVS tube could only prevent the device from being unrecoverably damaged.
In view of above, the ESD signal is a high-frequency signal. If an impedance of a transmission channel (i.e., the transmission line 501) is kept consistent, as shown in
In the related art, the display driving board 205 and the system board 206 are connected to each other through the ground wire, which is usually a thin wire with a diameter of about 1 mm. The housing 201, the back plate 202 and the display driving board 205 each has a great area, so that there is a significant difference in impedance between the signal ground plane formed by the ground wires and the housing 201, the back plate 202 or the display driving board 205, and therefore, the ESD signal is easily reflected due to the impedance change to cause the flash screen. However, it is not easy to form an unobstructed continuous transmission channel on the discharge path of “the display driving plate 205→the system board 206→the housing 201→the ground”.
Through the above analysis, a preliminary conclusion can be drawn that a discharge path which has the greatest influence on determination of the ESD grade of the complete machine is the discharge path of “the display driving board 205→the system board 206→the housing 201→the ground”, because the signal ground plane formed by the ground wires connected to the display driving board 205 and the system board 206 is a reference plane of the whole system signal, a certain probability of signal abnormality occurs after the reference plane is interfered, so that the ESD grade is determined as the CLASS B, which cannot meet the current requirements, i.e., CLASS A.
In view of the above problems in the related art, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display apparatus, which may be: any product or component with a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, an intelligent watch, a fitness wrist strap, and a personal digital assistant.
Specifically, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display apparatus, as shown in
An insulating material layer 210 is arranged between the back plate 202 and the display driving board 205.
The display module 204 is fixed to the metal bezel 203 through an insulating member 211 at a side of the display module 204.
As described above, the signal ground plane formed by the ground wires connected to the display driving board 205 is the reference plane of signals for the whole system of the display apparatus, a certain probability of signal abnormality occurs after the reference plane is interfered, so that the ESD grade is determined as the CLASS B, which cannot meet the current requirements, i.e., CLASS A, so that a discharge path which has the greatest influence on the determination of the ESD grade of the complete machine is the discharge path entering the display driving board 205. The ESD mainly enters the display driving board 205 through the back plate 202 and the display module 204 in the related art, so that the improvement is mainly made from the following two aspects in the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.
In a first aspect, the insulating material layer 210 is arranged between the back plate 202 and the display driving board 205, which directly increases the impedance of the path for the ESD from the back plate 202 to the display driving board 205; specifically, as can be seen from a common geometric model of the transmission line, as shown in
When w>3 h, the characteristic impedance is calculated by the following equation:
where εr represents a dielectric constant of the transmission band, w represents a bandwidth of the transmission band, and h represents a distance between the transmission band and the metal plate.
In the related art, the display driving board 205 is usually mounted close to the back plate 202, i.e. h is approximately 0, so w is much greater than 3 h. In a case where the insulating material layer 210 is added between the display driving board 205 and the back plate 202, which is equivalent to infinitely increasing h, h is directly proportional to the impedance, when other conditions are not changed, the impedance may be increased by increasing h. With the increased impedance, the discharge path through the back plate 202 and the display driving board 205 will not be a first choice for the ESD, and only a part of the ESD signal will be coupled into the signal ground plane through the housing 201, as shown in
In a second aspect, the display module 204 and the metal bezel 203 are fixed together by the insulating member 211 at the side of the display module 204, so that the impedance of the path of the ESD entering the display module 204 through the metal bezel 203 is increased, which is equivalent to indirectly increasing the impedance of the path of the ESD entering the display driving board 205 through the display module 204. In this way, it is difficult for the ESD to enter the display driving board 205 through the display module 204, as shown in
Therefore, most of the ESD is discharged through any other path with a small impedance, so that the ESD less enters the signal ground plane, thereby achieving a jitter of the ground reference plane which can be borne by a circuit, and improving the ESD protection grade. As can be seen from
It should be noted that for the convenience of showing the back plate 202, only a convex portion of the housing 201 is shown in
Optionally, in the above display apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the insulating material layer 210 may be a first insulating mylar sheet. The insulating mylar sheet itself has a super-strong insulating performance and also has an adhesive surface, so that the first insulating mylar sheet is simpler, more convenient and faster to be assembled on the display apparatus, thereby greatly shortening the production time, and improving the production efficiency.

Optionally, the display apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: a conductive foam between the housing 201 and the back plate 202, which further reduces the impedance of the path through which the ESD is discharged to the housing 201 inside the display apparatus, thereby improving the ESD resistance of the complete machine.
Optionally, the display apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: a back cover which completely covers the display driving board 205 and is clamped with the metal bezel 203, wherein a surface of the back cover away from the display driving board 205 is provided with an insulating varnish, so as to block the ESD outside the back cover through the insulating varnish, and thus, realize the ESD protection for the display driving board 205.
Optionally, the display apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: an aluminum foil which completely covers the back cover, wherein a surface of the aluminum foil close to the display driving board 205 (i.e., a bottom of a side surface of the aluminum foil) is in contact with a surface of the back plate 202 away from the housing 201. With the arrangement, the ESD on the back cover can be quickly introduced to the back plate 202 through the aluminum foil, and then introduced to the housing 201 from the back plate 202 for discharging, so that a good conductive path is formed, and the ESD resistance of the complete machine is improved. In addition, the aluminum foil is also provided with an adhesive surface, so that the aluminum foil is simpler, more convenient and faster to be assembled on the back cover, thereby greatly shortening the production time, and improving the production efficiency.

Optionally, the display apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
Since the coupling path cannot be completely blocked, the main discharge path can only be changed by increasing the impedance of the transmission path. In addition to adding insulation as described above, the electrostatic isolating device 219 may be further added between the signal ground plane formed by the ground wire 218 and the housing 201 in the circuit and be configured to block the ESD interference, to prevent the ESD from being transmitted to the signal ground plane through the housing 201. In one implementation, each of the second conductive screws 217 for fixing the housing 201 to the back plate 202 is connected to the signal ground plane through a corresponding electrostatic isolating device 219, so as to achieve a good ESD protection effect.
Optionally, in the above display apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
The display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a housing; a back plate on the housing; a metal bezel clamped with the back plate at a side of the back plate; a display module and a display driving board on a side of the back plate away from the housing; wherein an insulating material layer is arranged between the back plate and the display driving board; the display module is fixed to the metal bezel through the insulating member at a side of the display module. The signal ground plane formed by the ground wire connected to the display driving board is the reference plane for signals of the whole system of the display apparatus, a certain probability of signal abnormality occurs after the reference plane is interfered, so that the static electricity grade is determined as a CLASS B, which cannot meet the current requirements, i.e., CLASS A, so that a discharge path which has the greatest influence on the determination of the static electricity grade of the complete machine is the discharge path entering the display driving board. The static electricity mainly enters the display driving board through the back plate and the display module in the related art. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, on one hand, the insulating material layer is arranged between the back plate and the display driving board, which directly increases the impedance of the path for the static electricity from the back plate to the display driving board; on the other hand, the display module and the metal bezel are fixed together by the insulating member at the side of the display module, so that the impedance of the path of the static electricity entering the display module through the metal bezel is increased, which is equivalent to indirectly increasing the impedance of the path of the static electricity entering the display driving board through the display module. Therefore, most of the static electricity is discharged through another path with a small impedance, so that the static electricity less enters the signal ground plane, thereby achieving a jitter of the ground reference plane which can be borne by a circuit, and improving the static electricity protection grade.
It will be apparent that various changes and modifications for the present disclosure may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, if these changes and modifications for the present disclosure fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present disclosure is intended to also include these changes and modifications.
