Description

Liquid crystal display device module

Technical field

(liquid crystal display module LCDmodule), refers to a kind of LCD MODULE of tool high heat dissipation effect especially to the invention provides a kind of LCD MODULE.

Background technology

LCD widely is applied in various electronic products, as mobile phone, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) and mobile computer (notebook) etc., and along with the fast development in large scale flat-panel screens market, LCD with compact characteristic is being played the part of considerable role especially, become the market mainstream and replace the cathode ray tube (CRT) display gradually, yet because that the continuous generation of meeting thermal conductances such as LCD when running control chip and backlight module cause temperature is more and more high, if heat will cause the temperature contrast of display panels excessive in the time of can't effectively conducting to the external world, cause the visual bright band of generation on the display panel, have a strong impact on display effect.

Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the structural representation of available liquid crystal display module 10.Available liquid crystal display module 10 includes a display panel 12, a backlight module 14, at least one control chip 16 and a casing (frame) 18.Wherein, backlight module 14 also includes a bottom and the shell (housing) 22 that a metal framework (metal frame) 20 is positioned at backlight module 14, and control chip then utilizes the carrier band (TAB tape) 24 (or a bendable printed circuit board (PCB)) of a tape automated bonding to be arranged at the side of backlight module 14.

As shown in Figure 1; because available liquid crystal display module 10 is coated in the casing 18; and casing 18 mainly is to design to be used for protecting LCD MODULE 10; to avoid dust and water to enter in the LCD MODULE 10; so the heat dissipation design of a large amount of air vents is not arranged mostly; the heat that is produced when therefore control chip 16 carries out computing can be closed in the liquid crystal display device module 10 and can't effectively get rid of, and then causes the temperature contrast of display panel 12 excessive.The situation that occurs brightness disproportionation when using after a while in the display frame easily causes display effect not good, even can reduce the serviceable life of LCD MODULE 10.Therefore how increasing radiating effect makes LCD MODULE 10 keep optimal display result to become the important topic that LCD designs.

Summary of the invention
