In the present disclosure, unless opposite stated, the orientation words used such as “upper” and “lower” generally refer to the upper and lower directions of the device in actual using or working state, and specifically refer to the drawing directions in the drawings, and “inner” and “outer” refer to the outline of the device.
One embodiment of the present application provides a display device. The details are described below respectively. It should be noted that a description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit a preferred order of the embodiments.
The support structure 14 includes a support plate 141 and a plastic frame 142. The support plate 141 includes a first lateral surface 1411 and a second lateral surface 1412 which are opposite to each other. The support plate 141 has a light transmissive region 140. The light transmissive region 140 corresponding to a first optical film layer 134 of the backlight component 13 allows light emitted from the backlight component 13 to pass through the support plate 141 and to irradiate on the first display panel 11. The plastic frame 142 is protrusively disposed on the first lateral surface 1411 and is distributed on a periphery of the light transmissive region 140. The surface of the plastic frame 142 away from the support plate 141 is connected to the first display panel 11 to support the first display panel 11.
In the first embodiment of the present application, the second display panel 12 is opposite to the second lateral surface 1412 and is connected to the support plate 141.
As illustrated in
In order to reduce a thickness and a weight of the display module 10 to realize thinness, the first display panel 11 and the second display panel 12 are provided with the light source 131 by a layer of the backlight component, and a relatively thin film material is also used on the first display panel 11 and the second display panel 12. As a result, the display module 10 composed of the first display panel 11, the second display panel 12, and the backlight component 13 has poor rigidity and is prone to be deformed, causing damage to the display module 10.
By disposing the support structure 14 including the support plate 141 and the plastic frame 142, by supporting the first display panel 11 through the plastic frame 142, and by supporting the second display panel 12 through the support plate 141, connection between the support structure 14 and the display module 10 and support for the display module 10 from the support structure 14 are realized, which improves rigidity of the display module 10 and prevents the display module 10 from being deformed. In addition, the support structure 14 is composed of the support plate 141 and the plastic frame 142 protrusively disposed on the support plate 141, which is a simple structure convenient to fabricate, and is also conducive to assembling the display device 1.
In the present application, the backlight component 13 includes a light guide plate 132, the light source 131 disposed on a side of the light guide plate 132, a transflective film 133 disposed between the light guide plate 132 and the support plate 141, and a first optical film layer 134 and a second optical film layer 135 respectively disposed on two sides of the light guide plate 132.
The lateral wall 1413 includes a first lateral wall 1413a and a second lateral wall 1413b sequentially distributed from the light source 131 to the light guide plate 132. The support part 1414 extends from a side of the lateral wall 1413a away from the support plate 141 toward the accommodating space 150.
A surface of the support part 1414 away from the support plate 141 is connected to the second display panel 12.
As illustrated in
It should be noted that, a gap can be left between a surface of the support part 1414 close to the support plate 141 and the light guide plate 132, or the surface of the support part 1414 close to the support plate 141 is connected to the light guide plate 132. Preferably, as illustrated in
In one embodiment provided by the present application, as illustrated in
It should be noted that at a location of the support plate 141 close to the first lateral wall 1413a and the second lateral wall 1413b, a manner of disposing the connection element 211 can be simultaneously adopted to realize support for the second display panel 12; a manner of bending and extending the lateral wall 1413 to form the support part 1414 is also allowed to be adopted to realize support for the second display panel 12 at the same time; in addition, a manner of disposing the connection element 211 on one side and disposing the support part 1414 on the other side is also allowed to be adopted. When the connection element 211 is adopted, a weight of the entire structure can be reduced. When the support part 1414 is adopted, the rigidity of the structure is relatively great, which has a better support ability for the display panel. Specific embodiments can be determined according to practical situations, which are not limited herein.
As illustrated in
In the first embodiment of the present application, as illustrated in
The boss 1410 disposed on the lateral edge of the via hole 1400 can serve an effect of enhancing ribs, which improves rigidity and strength of the support plate 141 at the via hole 1400. By disposing the groove corresponding to the boss 1410 on the plastic frame 142 and by inserting the boss 1410 into the groove, connection between the plastic frame 142 and the support plate 141 is firmer.
It should be noted that, the larger an area of the first display panel 11 is, the larger a required light transmissive region 140 is, and correspondingly, the larger the via hole 1400 that needs to be defined on the support plate 141 is. Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, the area of the first display panel 11 is less than or equal to an area of the second display panel 12. Therefore, low strength of the entire structure caused by a large-area via hole 1400 being defined on the support plate 141 is prevented.
It should be noted that, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present application, a plate of stainless steel or a metal material of relative high rigidity such as aluminum of high rigidity can be adopted on the support plate 141, and the support plate 141 can be formed by a stamping method. The plastic frame 142 and the support plate 141 can be integrally formed. After the support plate 141 is stamped, the plastic frame 142 can be formed on the support plate 141 by a pouring method, thereby simplifying fabrication processes of the support structure 14.
Regarding the display device 1 in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the display device 1 is assembled, the backlight component 13 and the second display panel 12 can be mounted on the support structure 14 in advance, then the support structure 14 is flipped, and then the first display panel 11 is mounted on the support structure 14. When the backlight component 13 and the second display panel 12 are mounted in advance, the backlight component 13 can provide support for subsequent installation of the first display panel 11 to allow assembling of the display device 1 to be easier.
With reference to
In a fourth embodiment of the present application, a transparent material such as glass or resin can be adopted on the support plate 141. The plastic frame 142 can be fixed with the support plate 141 by bonding. The second display panel 12 is located between the first display panel 11 and the first lateral surface 1411 and is connected to the first lateral surface 1411.
By connecting the second display panel 12 to the support plate 141 and by connecting the surface of the plastic frame 142 away from the support plate 141 to the first display panel 11, connection between support structure 14 and the display module 10 is realized. Furthermore, support of the support structure 14 for the display module 10 improves the rigidity of the display device 1 and reduces the risk of deformation occurring on the display module 10.
Because the second display panel 12 is disposed in the mounting cavity 200 enclosed by the plastic frame 12 and the support plate 141, the larger the size of the second display panel 12 is, the larger the space of the required mounting cavity 200 is, and the longer a distance d between lateral edges of the plastic frame 142 is. Preferably, the area of the second display panel 12 being less than or equal to the area of the first display panel 11 prevents poor support ability caused by a contacting area between the plastic frame 142 and the first display panel 11 being too small when the distance d between the lateral edges of the plastic frame 142 is too long.
Regarding the display device 1 in the fourth embodiment, when the display device 1 is assembled, the second display panel 12 can be bonded to the support plate 141 first, then the plastic frame 142 is disposed on the support plate 141 to allow the plastic frame 142 and the support plate 141 to encircle to form the mounting cavity 200, and then the second optical film layer 135 is put into the mounting cavity 200. In this way, a film structure can be prevented from scattering when the second optical film layer 135 is assembled first.
After the second display panel 12 is assembled, the backlight component 13 and the first display panel 11 is mounted on the support structure 14. Finally, an encapsulation adhesive is attached (not shown in the figure).
It should be noted that, a gap can be left between a lateral edge of the backlight component 13 and a lateral edge of the plastic frame 142, or the backlight component 13 and the plastic frame 142 can be connected to each other. Preferably, in the fifth embodiment of the present application, as illustrated in
The display device provided by embodiments of present disclosure are described in detail above. This article uses specific cases for describing the principles and the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the description of the embodiments mentioned above is only for helping to understand the method and the core idea of the present disclosure. It should be understood by those skilled in the art, that it can perform changes in the technical solution of the embodiments mentioned above, or can perform equivalent replacements in part of technical characteristics, and the changes or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution depart from the scope of the technical solution of each embodiment of the present disclosure.
