Abstract

A display module having an improved assembly structure is provided. The display module includes a frame, a display panel, and a glue. The frame has a side wall and a supporting part, wherein the supporting part has a supporting surface and the side wall is formed on the periphery of the supporting surface. A groove is formed on the supporting surface adjacent to the side wall and is distributed along the side wall. The display panel is disposed within the frame and has a bottom face and a side face. The bottom face is supported by the supporting surface of the supporting part. The side face faces the side wall and forms a gap with the side wall. The glue is filled in the gap and adheres the side wall to the side face.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display module, comprising:
a back plate having a base plate and a side plate formed on the periphery of the base plate;
a frame having a supporting part disposed near the side plate, wherein the supporting part has a supporting surface, one side of the supporting part near the side plate has a third incline inclines toward the side plate, and the third incline and an inner face of the side plate form a groove;
a display panel disposed on an inner side of the side plate, wherein the display panel has a bottom face and a side face, the bottom face is supported by the supporting surface of the supporting part, and the side face faces the side plate and forms a gap with the side plate; and
a glue filled in the gap, wherein the glue adheres the side plate to the side face.

2. A display module, comprising:
a light source module having a light emitting face;
a frame surrounding the light source module and having a side wall, a supporting part and a groove, wherein the supporting part has a supporting surface and the side wall is formed on the periphery of the supporting surface, and the groove is formed on the supporting surface adjacent to the side wall and is distributed along the side wall;
a display panel disposed within the frame, wherein the display face of the display panel is opposite to the light emitting face, the display panel has a bottom face and a side face, the bottom face is supported by the supporting surface of the supporting part, and the side face faces the side wall and forms a gap with the side wall; and
a glue filled in the gap, wherein the glue adheres the side wall to the side face, and a portion of the glue is contained in the groove.

3. The display module of claim 2 , wherein a first incline is formed in the groove, and the first incline inclines to extend from the supporting surface toward the side wall and the bottom of the groove.

4. The display module of claim 2 , wherein a second incline is formed in the groove, and the second incline inclines to extend from the side wall toward the supporting surface and the bottom of the groove.

5. The display module of claim 2 , wherein the viscosity of the glue in its liquid phase is larger than 30000 cps.

6. The display module of claim 2 , further comprising:
a back plate having a base plate and a side plate formed on the periphery of the base plate;
wherein the outside of the side wall leans against the inside of the side plate, and the supporting part is disposed on the base plate near the side plate.

7. The display module of claim 2 , wherein the side wall bends inward to form a stage as the supporting part, the supporting part connects to the side wall with a tray part lower than the supporting surface, and the supporting part, the tray part, and the side wall substantially form the groove.

8. The display module of claim 2 , wherein the side wall bends inward to form an L shape, a block is disposed at the bending end of the side wall to form the supporting part, the supporting part connects to the side wall with a tray part lower than the supporting surface, and the supporting part, the tray part, and the side wall substantially form the groove.
