In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the backlight module 200 may further include a first protection layer 240. The light source module layer 220, the first insulating layer 230, and the first protective layer 240 are sequentially stacked. The first portion of the bridging wire 400 is disposed in the first insulating layer 230, and the second portion of the bridging wire 400 is disposed in the first protective layer 240.

The first protection layer 240 may be made of different materials according to specific working situations, for example, an organic photoresist layer for preventing water oxygen corrosion is used to prevent water oxygen corrosion, or the first protection layer 240 is made of the same material as the first insulation layer 230 to provide insulation protection.

The bridging wire 400 is partially located in the first insulating layer 230, so that the first coil end 111 can be connected while keeping a space with other parts of the NFC coil 110, so that the first insulating layer 230 can prevent a short circuit between the bridging wire 400 and the NFC coil 110; the first portion of the bridging wire 400 is disposed in the first insulating layer 230, and the second portion of the bridging wire 400 is disposed in the first protective layer 240, so that the bridging wire 400 can be embedded between the first insulating layer 230 and the first protective layer 240, so as to prevent the bridging wire 400 from occupying the stacking space of the backlight module 200, and further reduce the thickness of the display device.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, for a specific structure of the light source module layer 220, the light source module layer 220 may be provided to include a light guide layer 224 and a light source 225. The light source 225 is disposed on one side of the light guiding layer 224, and the light source module layer 220 is stacked on the first insulating layer 230 through the light guiding layer 224. The light emitted by the light source 225 is incident on the light guiding layer 224, and emits a first portion of light emitted from the NFC ferrite 120 through the light guiding layer 224. Because the whole area of the light guide layer 224 is larger than that of the light source 225, the light source assembly layer 220 finally emits light in the form of a surface light source, so that light rays are emitted more uniformly through the light guide layer 224, and the light emitting effect is better.

More specifically, the light source module layer 220 may further include a reflective cover 226. The reflecting cover 226 is covered on the light source 225 and is arranged opposite to the light guiding layer 224, and the reflecting cover 226 is provided with a reflecting opening towards one side of the light guiding layer 224. The light emitted from the light source 225 is reflected by the reflecting cover 226 and then enters the light guiding layer 224 through the reflecting opening.

In this way, the light emitted by the light source 225, in addition to the light directly entering the light guiding layer 224, also has a part of light reflected by the reflecting cover 226 and then enters the light guiding layer 224 through the reflecting opening, so that the light entering the light guiding layer 224 can be increased, the brightness of the light emitted by the light guiding layer 224 can be further enhanced, and the light utilization rate can be improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the backlight module 200 may include a reflective layer 210, and the reflective layer 210 may be stacked between the NFC ferrite 120 and the light source assembly layer 220. The light emitted from the light source 225 enters the light guiding layer 224, and exits the second portion of the light toward the reflective layer 210 through the light guiding layer 224. The second portion of the light is reflected by the reflective layer 210 and then emitted toward the first portion of the light. In this way, by the arrangement of the reflective layer 210, the second portion of light can be reflected to the light emitting direction of the backlight module 200, that is, the first portion of light and the second portion of light are converged and emitted in the same direction, and the brightness of the light emitted by the backlight module 200 is enhanced, so that the light utilization rate is improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the light source module layer 220 may include an end outer edge 221. The first insulating layer 230 forms a first projection on the light source module layer 220, and the end portion outer edge 221 forms a second projection on the light source module layer 220, where the first projection is coplanar with the second projection and is located at one side of the second projection.

The second end of the first flexible circuit board 300 is used for electrically connecting with a motherboard of the electronic device.

In this way, the first electrode plate 222 and the second electrode plate 223 can be fully exposed through the arrangement of the end outer edge 221, so as to facilitate the connection between the NFC coil 110 and the first flexible circuit board 300, and the signal generated by the NFC coil 110 is more easily transmitted to the first flexible circuit board 300 through the first electrode plate 222 and the second electrode plate 223 as intermediate transmission media.

The first electrode piece 222 and the second electrode piece 223 can be made of ITO, nano silver, tiAlTi, etc. on a specific material, and can be applied to the surface of the light source component layer 220 by vapor deposition.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the backlight module 200 may further include a diffusion layer 250, where the diffusion layer 250 is stacked on a side of the first protection layer 240 facing away from the first insulation layer 230. The diffusion layer 250 is used for diffusing the light emitted from the light source module layer 220 to make the light emitted more uniformly, so as to enhance the light emitting effect of the light source module layer 220.

Further, the backlight module 200 may further include a light enhancement layer 260, where the light enhancement layer 260 is stacked on a side of the diffusion layer 250 facing away from the first protection layer 240. The light enhancement layer 260 has a light gathering effect, and after the light emitted by the light source component layer 220 is uniformly diffused by the diffusion layer 250, the brightness is increased by the light enhancement layer 260, so that the light emitting effect of the light source component layer 220 is further enhanced.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the first end of the first flexible circuit board 300 is lap-jointed and fixed on the first electrode plate 222 and the second electrode plate 223, and a colloid 500 is disposed between the end surfaces of the first electrode plate 222 and the second electrode plate 223 and the first flexible circuit board 300 to ensure that the connection is more stable, and meanwhile, the colloid 500 can avoid the first end of the first flexible circuit board 300 from bending at a larger angle, thereby protecting the first flexible circuit board 300. Wherein, the colloid 500 can be selected from the group consisting of a vertical line glue as an adhesive.

Further, the NFC coil 110, the first electrode pad 222, and the second electrode pad 223 are disposed in the same layer. For example, the light source modules are disposed on the surface of the light source module layer 220 and in the first insulating layer 230, so as to improve the space utilization and further avoid occupying the stacked space of the backlight module 200.

The projection of the NFC coil 110 on the first end surface is located in the projection of the torus 121 on the first end surface. The surface of the NFC ferrite 120 surrounded by the bulge loop 121 may be used as a receiving surface for sending signals to the NFC coil 110, and adding the bulge loop 121 to the surface of the NFC ferrite 120 may further bunch magnetic flux, so as to improve the intensity and stability of NFC signals.
