It should be noted that
In an embodiment of the present application, the first light-blocking portion 231 is partially disposed in the through hole V1, the second light-blocking portion 232 is formed by the end of the first light-blocking portion 231 away from the display panel 21 extending to the outside of the periphery along a radial direction of the through hole V1, and has a hollow ring structure.

Refer to
As shown in
Furthermore, as shown in
Furthermore, an end of the light-blocking member 23 close to the display panel 21 is bonded to a bottom of the display panel 21 through a light-shielding glue 25.
Refer to
Specifically, a width of the light-shielding glue 25 is 0.1 millimeter (mm), and a planar shape is annular. This can reduce the light-shielding glue 25 from blocking the light irradiated by the first light source or the second light source 226 to the display panel 21, and preventing a transition line generated at an edge of the ambient light-transmission region A10. In practical applications, the width of the light-shielding glue 25 can be selected according to requirements, and is not limited to the above-mentioned 0.1 mm, and it can also be 0.08 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.03 mm, etc., or the same as a thickness of the light-shielding member 23. It only needs to be less than or equal to 0.1 mm.
Furthermore, as shown in
As shown in
The column 261 is made of transparent acrylic material, has good light transmission performance, and can meet the light demand of the sensor module 24, improving a shooting effect of the sensor module 24. At the same time, the second light source 226 can be disposed on a bottom or side of the light-shielding rod 26. When the second light source 226 is disposed on a side of the light-shielding rod 26, a region of the light-shielding rod 26 opposite to the second light source 226 may not be disposed with the light-shielding coating 262. In this way, the column 261 is used as the light guide plate of the second light source 226, and the light emitted by the second light source 226 is uniformly diffused in the channel V2, thereby increasing the display effect of the ambient light-transmission region A10. In practical applications, material of the column 261 can be selected according to requirements, is not limited to the above-mentioned acrylic material, and can also be a transparent material such as polyimide or glass.
A shape of the light-shielding rod 26 is same as a shape of the channel V2, and a size of the light-shielding rod 26 is adapted to a size of the channel V2. In the embodiment of the present application, the light-shielding rod 26 and the channel V2 adopt a clearance fit, and size of a gap between the light-shielding rod 26 and the channel V2 can be selected according to actual requirements, and is not limited here. In practical applications, a fitting relationship between the light-shielding rod 26 and the channel V2 can be selected according to requirements, is not limited to the above-mentioned clearance fit, and can also be a transition fit or an interference fit.
Material of the light-shielding coating 262 is silver, and a layer of the light-shielding coating 262 can be plated on a side of the column 261 by silver plating. A light-reflective effect of the silver material can prevent the light emitted by the backlight module 22 and the light reflected by the display panel 21 from being irradiated into the channel V2, so as to enhance the light-shielding effect of the light-shielding rod 26. In practical applications, other light-shielding materials can be used according to requirements, are not limited to the silver mentioned above, and can also be other light-shielding or reflective metal materials, black ink or black polyethylene terephthalate, and other light-shielding materials.
In an embodiment of the present application, the end of the light-shielding rod 26 opposite to the display panel 21 is bonded to the display panel 21 through a transparent adhesive layer 27. It is understandable that, in the display device shown in
Furthermore, an orthographic projection region of the transparent adhesive layer 27 covers an orthographic projection region of an end of the light-shielding rod 26 opposite to the display panel 21 in an axial direction parallel to the through hole V1. That is, an area of the adhesive layer 27 is greater than or equal to an area of the end of the light-shielding rod 26 opposite to the display panel 21.
In an embodiment of the present application, a thickness of the adhesive layer 27 is 0.025 mm. The lesser the thickness of the adhesive layer 27, the smaller the gap between the end of the light-shielding rod 26 close to the display panel 21 and the display panel 21, and the light-shielding coating 262 can shield more light leaking from the first light leakage region B1 to the gap between the first light-blocking portion 231 and the display panel 21, making the light-blocking effect of the light-blocking rod 26 better. In practical applications, the thickness of the adhesive layer 27 can be selected according to requirements, is not limited to the above-mentioned 0.025 mm, and can also be 0.1 mm, 0.08 mm, 0.06 mm, etc., as long as it is less than or equal to 0.1 mm.
Specifically, the adhesive layer 27 is an optically clear adhesive (OCA). OCA is colorless and transparent, and has high light transmittance and good bonding strength. It is cured at room temperature, which is convenient for a shape of a cutting tape, thereby reducing difficulty of a manufacturing process of the display device. In practical applications, other adhesive materials can be used according to requirements, are not limited to the above-mentioned optical clear adhesive, and can also be optical clear resin (OCR), photosensitive adhesive, or ultraviolet curing adhesive.
As shown in
Since the first light-blocking portion 231 is made of a metal material and has a certain light reflection effect, when an amount of light reflected by the first light-blocking portion 231 is greater, the amount of light condensed around the first light-blocking portion 231 is increased, so that the brightness of the peripheral edge of the ambient light-transmission region A10 is significantly greater than the brightness of other display regions, which leads to a problem of uneven display brightness of the display panel. By disposing the first light-absorbing layer 233 on the first light-blocking portion 231, a reflection ability of the first light-blocking portion 231 can be reduced, thereby preventing the brightness of the peripheral edge of the ambient light-transmission region A10 from being greater than the brightness of other display regions.
In an embodiment of the present application, a light absorption rate of the first light-absorbing layer 233 is 50%, and the first light-absorbing layer 233 is a gray light-absorbing layer. In this way, the first light-absorbing layer 233 can have a certain light-absorbing ability and absorbs a part of the light irradiated to the light-blocking member 23 from each of the light leakage regions, but does not absorb the light irradiated to the display panel by the backlight module 22. Therefore, it can prevent a situation that a brightness of a surrounding edge of the ambient light-transmission region A10 is lower than the brightness of other display regions due to the overly strong ability of the first light-absorbing layer 233 to absorb light. In practical applications, the light absorption rate of the first light-absorbing layer 233 can be selected according to requirements, and is not limited to the above-mentioned light absorption rate of 50%. The first light-absorbing layer 233 can also have a light absorption rate of 20%, 40%, 60% or 70%, etc., and only needs to be greater than zero and less than or equal to 70%.
Furthermore, a second light-absorbing layer 234 is disposed on a side of the second light-blocking portion 232 opposite to a bottom of the backlight module 22. Specifically, as shown in
Specifically, the light absorption rate of the second light absorption layer 234 is 60%, and the second light absorption layer 234 is a gray light absorption layer. In practical applications, the light absorption rate and color of the second light-absorbing layer 234 can be selected according to requirements, is not limited to the above 60%, and can also be 30%, 50%, or 70%. It only needs to be greater than zero and less than or equal to 70%. The second light absorption layer 234 is not limited to the gray light absorption layer, and can also be a dark gray light absorption layer or a black light absorption layer.
Furthermore, the light absorption rate of the first light-absorbing layer 233 is less than or equal to the light absorption rate of the second light-absorbing layer 234. Since the second light-blocking portion 232 is disposed at the bottom of the back plate 221 and will not absorb light from the backlight module 22 for displaying images, the light absorption rate of the second light-absorbing layer 234 can be greater than or equal to the light absorption rate of the first light-absorbing layer 233. In this way, the light leaking from the back plate 221 of the backlight module 22 to the through hole V1 is further reduced.
In an embodiment of the present application, on a plane perpendicular to an axial direction of the through hole V1, a plane shape of the through hole V1 is circular, and a plane shape of the channel V2 is same as the shape of the through hole V1. In practical applications, the shape of the through hole V1 can be selected according to requirements, and is not limited to the above-mentioned circular. It can also be any of an ellipse, a rectangular, a drop shape, or an irregular shape. The irregular shape can be in the shape of “bangs”, etc., and the shape of the channel V2 needs to be adjusted according to the shape of the through hole V1.
In an embodiment of the present application, material of the light-blocking member 23 is stainless steel. The stainless steel material has good plasticity and rigidity, and it is possible to prepare the light blocking member 23 with a relatively thin thickness and a certain rigidity, so as to facilitate the installation of the light-blocking member 23. In practical applications, the material of the light-blocking member 23 can be selected according to requirements, is not limited to the above-mentioned stainless steel, and metal materials such as alloys can also be used.
In an embodiment of the present application, a thickness of a sidewall of the light-blocking member 23 opposite to the through hole V1 is 0.05 mm, and the sidewall of the light-blocking member 23 opposite to the through hole V1 is the first light-blocking portion 231. The lesser the thickness of the first light-blocking portion 231 having a hollow cylindrical structure, the smaller the amount of light that needs to be irradiated to the display panel blocked by the light blocking member 23. A width of the transition line between the ambient light-transmission region A10 and the adjacent display region can be reduced, thereby improving the display effect of the edge of the ambient light-transmission region A10. In practical applications, the thickness of the sidewall of the light-blocking member 23 can be selected according to requirements, is not limited to the above 0.05 mm, and can also be 0.1 mm, 0.08 mm, 0.03 mm, and so on. Preferably, in order to obtain a better display effect, the thickness of the light-blocking member 23 should be less than or equal to 0.05 mm. In practical applications, considering factors such as production cost, the thickness of the light-blocking member 23 only needs to be less than or equal to 0.1 mm.

The light-blocking member can isolate other components of the backlight module from the channel, preventing the light in the backlight module from irradiating into the channel, thereby solving the problem that the through hole of the backlight module in the existing under-screen camera display devices easily leaks light.
