In this embodiment, the first driving chip 31 is disposed on the main board 30, so that the position of the first driving chip 31 in the display panel 10 can be omitted, which is beneficial to implementing a narrow frame design of the display module 100.
It should be noted that the first driver chip 31 is only for illustration and does not represent the actual connection relationship between the first pin P1 and the first driver chip 31.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 4 and fig. 6, in the present embodiment, the second pin P2 is connected to the first conductive part 401 through the anisotropic conductive film 21.

In this embodiment, the anisotropic conductive film 21 may be disposed between the elements to be bonded, that is, between the second pin P2 and the first conductive part 401, and then the anisotropic conductive film 21 is heated and pressurized to receive the temperature and pressure to connect the second pin P2 and the first conductive part 401 together, and the bonded second pin P2 and the first conductive part 401 are electrically conductive in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel 10; meanwhile, the anisotropic conductive film 21 also has the function of gluing and fixing, so that the second pin P2 and the first conductive part 401 can be stably and reliably connected and fixed.

Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing another BB' cross section of the display module provided in the embodiment of fig. 1, and fig. 8 and 9 are partial schematic views of the display module provided in the embodiment of fig. 7. As shown in fig. 7-8, the second surface 202 further includes a third pin P3 and a fourth pin P4; the third pin P3 is electrically connected with the first pin P1, and the fourth pin P4 is electrically connected with the second pin P2; the display module 100 includes a flexible circuit board 50, wherein the flexible circuit board 50 includes a second driving chip (not shown), a second conductive portion 501 and a third conductive portion 502; the second conductive part 501 is connected with the third pin P3, the third conductive part 502 is connected with the fourth pin P4, and the second conductive part 501 is electrically connected with the third conductive part 502; the second driver chip is bound to the flexible circuit board 50 through the second conductive portion 501 and/or the third conductive portion 502.
Fig. 7 differs from fig. 2 in that: the display module 100 shown in fig. 7 further includes a flexible circuit board 50. Specifically, referring to fig. 7-8, the display module 100 further includes a flexible circuit board 50 located between the display panel 10 and the main board 30, and the second driver chip is bound to the flexible circuit board 50 through the second conductive portion 501 and/or the third conductive portion 502. Optionally, the second conductive part 501 is a signal input end of the second driver chip, and the third conductive part 502 is a signal output end of the second driver chip, or the input and output of the second driver chip share one second conductive part 501/third conductive part 502. The cover plate 20 includes a first surface 201 and a second surface 202 disposed opposite to each other along a direction perpendicular to a plane of the display panel 10, the second surface 202 is located on a side of the cover plate 20 facing the display panel 10, and the first pin P1, the second pin P2, the third pin P3 and the fourth pin P4 are disposed on the second surface 202. Since the first pin P1 is electrically connected to the main board 30 through the conductive part 301, the third pin P3 is electrically connected to the first pin P1, the second conductive part 501 is electrically connected to the third pin P3, the third conductive part 502 is electrically connected to the fourth pin P4, and the fourth pin P4 is electrically connected to the second pin P2, the path from the main board 30 to the display panel 10 is realized. Therefore, the design method does not need to introduce an FPC connector into the display module 100, so that the problem that the display panel 10 and the main board 30 are not easily separated due to the insertion of the FPC connector on the main board 30 is solved, and the display module 100 is convenient to detach and replace.
In this embodiment, the electrical connection between the first pin P1 and the third pin P3 means that there is a direct or indirect electrical contact therebetween. Optionally, as shown in fig. 8, the first pin P1 and the third pin P3 are two ends of the same pin, respectively; alternatively, as shown in fig. 9, the first pin P1 and the third pin P3 are connected through a conductive medium, such as a metal trace L, an anisotropic conductive film, and the like, and the selected conductive medium only needs to ensure that an electrical signal can be transmitted between the two, which is not limited in this application. In addition, the second pin P2 and the fourth pin P4 can be connected in the same manner as the first pin P1 and the third pin P3, and the description thereof is omitted.
It should be noted that, in some alternative embodiments, the first pin P1, the second pin P2, the third pin P3, the fourth pin P4, the conductive portion 301, the first conductive portion 401, the second conductive portion 501, and the third conductive portion 502 may all be made of the same material, and different names are given herein only for convenience of differentiation and illustration.
In the related art, after the flexible circuit board is bound to the binding area of the display panel, the flexible circuit board needs to be bent to a side of the display panel away from the cover plate, and the binding area is a single-layer substrate area, so that the single-layer substrate may be pulled and damaged when the flexible circuit board is bent. However, this design not only increases the process risk of the product, but also does not significantly improve the strength of the single-layer substrate region. In view of this, the flexible circuit board 50 bound with the second driving chip is disposed between the display panel 10 and the main board 30 in this embodiment, on one hand, the position of the second driving chip can be omitted in the display panel 10, which is beneficial to implementing the narrow frame design of the display module 100, and on the other hand, the single-layer substrate area a2 can be prevented from being pulled when the flexible circuit board 50 is bent, and the product yield is ensured without coating silicone adhesive or attaching foam.
