Abstract

A display device is provided, including: a display panel; a light guide component on a light entering side of the display panel; and a supporting assembly connected to the display panel and the light guide component. The supporting assembly is configured to support the display panel and the light guide component, and the supporting assembly includes: a frame body having a first supporting surface facing the display panel, the light guide component being fixed on the first supporting surface; and a light transmission portion on the first supporting surface and on an outer side of a side surface of the light guide component, the light transmission portion having a second supporting surface facing the display panel. The display panel is fixed on the second supporting surface, and the light transmission portion is configured to refract light so that the refracted light exits through the second supporting surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising:
a display panel;
a light guide component on a light entering side of the display panel; and
a supporting assembly connected to the display panel and the light guide component, wherein the supporting assembly is configured to support the display panel and the light guide component,
wherein the supporting assembly comprises:
a frame body having a first supporting surface facing the display panel, and the light guide component is fixed on the first supporting surface, and
a light transmission portion on the first supporting surface and on an outer side of a side surface of the light guide component, wherein the light transmission portion has a second supporting surface facing the display panel, the display panel is fixed on the second supporting surface, and the light transmission portion is configured to refract light so that the refracted light exits through the second supporting surface,
wherein the frame body comprises a mold frame, the first supporting surface is located at an end of the mold frame facing the display panel, and the first supporting surface is parallel to the second supporting surface and parallel to a surface of the display panel; and
wherein the mold frame comprises a fixing groove on the first supporting surface, and the light transmission portion comprises an inverted stuck component at an end of the light transmission portion away from the second supporting surface, and the inverted stuck component is embedded into the fixing groove.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the mold frame is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy material.

3. A spliced display device, spliced by a plurality of display devices according to claim 1 .

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing groove has a top surface coplanar with the first supporting surface and a bottom surface parallel to the first supporting surface, and
wherein a cross-sectional area of the fixing groove in a direction parallel to the surface of the display panel gradually increases from the top surface to the bottom surface.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the inverted stuck component is embedded into the fixing groove, a periphery of the inverted stuck component fits an inner wall of the fixing groove, and
wherein the inverted stuck component is molded in the fixing groove through injection molding.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display device further comprises a circuit component and a protective layer, the circuit component covers a part of a side surface of the display panel, the circuit component is electrically connected to the display panel, and the protective layer is provided on an outer side of the side surface of the display panel to protect the circuit component.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the protective layer is filled at a periphery of the circuit component, and an orthographic projection of the protective layer on the side surface of the display panel does not overlap with an orthographic projection of the circuit component on the side surface of the display panel.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the display device further comprises a sealing adhesive on a side of the protective layer away from the display panel.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting assembly further comprises a light guide portion on the first supporting surface and between the frame body and the light guide component, the light guide portion has a third supporting surface facing the display panel, and the light guide component is fixed on the third supporting surface, and
the light guide portion is configured to refract light so that the refracted light exits through the third supporting surface.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein a side of the light guide portion facing the light transmission portion is abutted against a surface of the light transmission portion, and an orthographic projection of the light guide portion and the light transmission portion on the first supporting surface covers the first supporting surface.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the light guide portion and the light transmission portion are formed as an integrated structure.

12. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the light transmission portion and/or the light guide portion are/is molded through injection molding.

13. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the light transmission portion and/or the light guide portion are/is made of a transparent material.

14. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a display region and a non-display region surrounding the display region, and a width of the non-display region on any side of the display panel ranges from 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm.

15. The display device according to claim 14 , wherein in a direction parallel to the display panel, the display panel has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, and the width of the non-display region on the first side of the display panel is 1.2 mm; and/or the width of the non-display region on the second side of the display panel is 0.5 mm.

16. The display device according to claim 15 , wherein the light transmission portion is connected to the non-display region of the display panel, and an orthographic projection of the non-display region of the display panel on the second supporting surface covers the second supporting surface, and
wherein a side of the light transmission portion away from the light guide component is aligned with a side surface of the display panel and a side surface of the mold frame.

17. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel is bonded to the second supporting surface of the light transmission portion through an optical adhesive, and the optical adhesive comprises a UV adhesive and/or a hot melt adhesive.

18. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the protective layer is made of a metal material.
