Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This is the US National Stage of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2019/076941, filed Mar. 5, 2019, which claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201811580454.5, filed Dec. 24, 2018.


FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular, to a liquid crystal display device for solving light leakage.


BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal display panel includes a glass substrate laminated with other components, for example, an upper polarizer and a lower polarizer are respectively laminated on upper and lower sides of the liquid crystal display panel. A side of optical films composed of several layers is bonded to the lower polarizer by an adhesive film, and the other side of the optical films is sequentially laminated with a light guide plate and a reflector sheet. A plastic frame is arranged around the liquid crystal display panel, and the plastic frame extends between the optical films and a reflector sheet and is bonded to the reflector sheet. Components of optical films, a light guide plate, a reflector sheet, and a plastic frame, etc. constitute a backlight module.


Conventional liquid crystal display devices generally have light leaking from the space between a plastic frame and a middle frame in the device, and the light is reflected by side walls of the middle frame in the device, and leaking out from a window region of the device. Therefore, the visual effect is not good, especially when an image displays in all black, the problem of light leakage will be more obvious. In order to prevent the above-mentioned light leakage problem from affecting the display effect, one conventional method to solve the light leakage problem is adhering black double-sided tape among the members in the device.


TECHNICAL PROBLEM

However, in order to realize a currently narrow border or even an extremely narrow border display device, the light leakage problem cannot be solved by the conventional method of adhering black double-sided tape due to the limitation of a device space and process. In addition, the method of adhering black double-sided tape to the plastic frame is manual, if there is a gap, light will leak from the gap, so that the light leakage problem still exists.


In order to solve the light leakage problem, one conventional method is to make a plastic frame in black, and solve the problem of light leakage around the backlight module by light absorption of the black plastic frame. However, the black plastic frame absorbs a part of the light at the edge of a light guiding region from the side, which causes brightness of the light emitted by the backlight module to be low, resulting in poor luminous efficiency. Although the black plastic frame effectively solves the light leakage problem from a side of the black plastic frame, it has another problem that the backlight module has low luminous efficiency. Therefore, it is still not a good way to solve the light leakage problem from the side of the black plastic frame.


As shown in FIG. 1, it is a conventional liquid crystal display device, light 1 emitted from a light source 41 is partially transmitted from a side of a plastic frame 47. The transmitted light 1 is reflected by a side wall of a middle frame 10 of a mobile phone and passes through a window region of module glass 21 to a surface of the mobile phone, and entering a human eye from the side, causing a bad visual experience.
