Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/495,510, filed on Apr. 24, 2017, which is a continuation-in-part of International Application No. PCT/CN2016/086709, filed on Jun. 22, 2016, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510443131.1, filed on Jul. 24, 2015, the contents of all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.
- The present disclosure relates to the field of display screen, and particularly to a display screen assembly, a terminal front cover, and a terminal.
- The display screen assembly of a traditional mobile phone is composed of a cover plate and a display screen. The cover plate is laminated on the display screen. The inner surface of the cover plate is generally divided into two parts, that is, an ink area and a display region. The ink area is formed by applying an ink layer on the inner surface of the cover plate. The ink layer is used to shield the area at the edge of the display screen where images cannot be displayed, while the display region is an area where the cover plate can effectively display images of the display screen. Generally, the ink area does not display any images on the exterior surface of the cover plate, and therefore, the ratio of the display region to the exterior surface of the cover plate cannot be improved. It can be difficult to obtain a larger display screen and is not ergonomic.

- A
display screen assembly 100 according to an implementation of the first aspect will be described with reference toFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 . - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , thedisplay screen assembly 100 according to the implementation of the first aspect includes a display screen 10 (specifically, a display panel), a lighting assembly such as alight guide plate 20 and/or additional components thereof (a light source for example), thetouch panel 30, and acover plate 40. As another implementation, the lighting assembly can also be an annular LED array. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the display screen 10, thelight guide plate 20, thetouch panel 30, and thecover plate 40 are sequentially stacked. The display screen 10 includes a display surface 11. The display surface 11 has adisplay region 111 and anon-display region 112. Thenon-display region 112 surrounds thedisplay region 111. Thelight guide plate 20 is arranged on one side (for example, the upper side ofFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 ) of the display screen 10 that is adjacent to the display surface 11. Thelight guide plate 20 covers thenon-display region 112. The outer edge of thelight guide plate 20 is provided with a light source 20 a. The light source 20 a is configured to illuminate thelight guide plate 20. - The display surface 11 is disposed on one side of the display screen 10 that is adjacent to the
light guide plate 20. Thedisplay region 111 is an area of the display screen 10 that can display image information effectively. Thenon-display region 112 is an area of the display screen 10 that cannot display the image information effectively. Normally, thenon-display region 112 is used for circuit connection, or is provided with a backlight lamp, or is used for packaging a liquid crystal layer of the display screen 10. The display screen 10 can be one of a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen and a LCM (LCD Module) component. The display screen 10 can also be a widely used touch screen. For example, the display screen 10 can be an in-cell touch screen in which a touch layer is embedded into liquid crystal pixels. The display screen 10 can be an on-cell touch screen in which the touch layer is arranged on the liquid crystal pixels. The display screen 10 can also be a full-fit touch screen in which the touch layer is fully attached to the cover plate. - The
touch panel 30 is disposed on one side (for example, the upper side ofFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 ) of thelight guide plate 20 that is remote from the display screen 10. Thetouch panel 30 covers thelight guide plate 20. Thetouch panel 30 is provided with at least one virtual key (not illustrated in the figures). For ease of explanation, in the following, take one virtual key as an example for description. - The
cover plate 40 is provided on one side of thetouch panel 30 that is remote from thelight guide plate 20. Thecover plate 40 includes a light transmitting portion 41 (can be referred to as a light transmission window) and alight shielding band 42 enclosing the periphery of the light transmitting portion 41 (that is, surrounding the light transmitting portion 41). The light emitted from the light source 20 a are adapted to pass through thelight guide plate 20, akeypad region 421, and thelight transmitting portion 41. - The
keypad region 421 is configured to be illuminated by the light of the lighting assembly such as the light guide plate, more specifically, the light source 20 a. Thelight transmitting portion 41 passes through the light of thedisplay region 111 correspondingly. Thelight shielding band 42 includes thekeypad region 421 and areas other than thekeypad region 421. The areas other than thekeypad region 421 can be provided around thekeypad region 421 and can be referred to as a shieldingregion 422. Thekeypad region 421 can be illuminated by the light of thelight guide plate 20 and pass through the light of thelight guide plate 20. Thekeypad region 421 can be disposed corresponding to the virtual key of the touch panel 30 (that is, thekeypad region 421 corresponds to the virtual key). The shieldingregion 422 shields the light of thelight guide plate 20. - In the
display screen assembly 100 according to the implementation of the present disclosure, thelight guide plate 20 is configured to cover thelight guide plate 20 correspondingly, and the light source 20 a is configured to illuminate thelight guide plate 20. Besides, thelight shielding band 42 is configured to include thekeypad region 421 and the shieldingregion 422 provided around thekeypad region 421. Thekeypad region 421 is configured to pass through the light of thelight guide plate 20 and is arranged corresponding to the virtual key of thetouch panel 30. The shieldingregion 422 is configured to shield the light of thelight guide plate 20, such that thenon-display region 112 of the display screen 10 can be utilized and the space of thedisplay screen assembly 100 used to arrange keys can be saved, and therefore, the display region of thedisplay screen assembly 100 can be enlarged effectively and this is ergonomic. It is to be understood that thedisplay screen assembly 100 is applicable to a terminal device. The terminal device can be one of a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, an electronic reader, an electronic album, a display and the like. - The
light guide plate 20 has a first surface and a second surface which are disposed opposite to each other. The first surface is adjacent to the display screen 10 and the second surface is adjacent to thetouch panel 30. The first surface and the second surface can be formed as planes parallel to each other, or, the second surface can be formed as an arc-shaped surface. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 1 , thelight guide plate 20 is annular. Thelight guide plate 20 includes a bottom surface 21 (i.e., the first surface) and a top surface 22 (i.e., the second surface) which are disposed opposite to each other. Thelight guide plate 20 further includes an outer side surface 23 provided between the bottom surface 21 and thetop surface 22. The bottom surface 21 is correspondingly attached to thenon-display region 112 of the display surface 11. Thetop surface 22 is attached to thetouch panel 30. The outer side surface 23 corresponds to the edge of the display surface 11. The outer side surface 23 is configured to receive the light of the light source 20 a, whereby thelight guide plate 20 can be illuminated and thetop surface 22 can emit light. The light emitted by thetop surface 22 can pass through thetouch panel 30 as well as thekeypad region 421, thus making thekeypad region 421 visible. In this way, thekeypad region 421 can identify the virtual key of thetouch panel 30, and thenon-display region 112 of the display surface 11 can be utilized to receive touch instructions. In this implementation, thetop surface 22 is parallel to the bottom surface 21, so that the thickness of thelight guide plate 20 can be reduced. In other implementations, thetop surface 22 may be an arc-shaped surface such that the light emitting area of thetop surface 22 is larger and the area of thekeypad region 421 can be increased. - In this implementation, the
touch panel 30 can be integrated into thecover plate 40, that is, thetouch panel 30 is integrated with thecover plate 40, and in other words, thetouch panel 30 is integrally formed with thecover plate 40. Thetouch panel 30 covers thelight guide plate 20 correspondingly and covers thedisplay region 111 of the display screen 10, such that thetouch panel 30 corresponding to thenon-display region 112 or thedisplay region 111 can realize the input of touch instructions. Multiple virtual keys can be provided. The multiple virtual keys can implement input of multiple different key instructions. In other implementations, thetouch panel 30 is annular; thetouch panel 30 correspondingly covers thelight guide plate 20. - In this implementation, the
cover plate 40 is made of glass. The cross-section of thecover plate 40 is parallel to the display surface 11 of the display screen 10. Thecover plate 40 is a rectangular plate member. Thecover plate 40 includes an outer surface 40 a and an inner surface 40 b which are disposed opposite to each other. The outer surface 40 a faces the user and is the exterior surface of thecover plate 40. The inner surface 40 b deviates from the user. The inner surface 40 b covers thelight guide plate 20 and thedisplay region 111 correspondingly. Thelight transmitting portion 41 of thecover plate 40 can enhance the light transmittance of the display screen 10 and can enhance the visual effect of thedisplay screen assembly 100. Thelight shielding band 42 shields thelight guide plate 20; that is, thelight shielding band 42 covers thenon-display region 112 of the display screen 10, thereby preventing (or limiting) thenon-display region 112 from affecting the visual effect. Thecover plate 40 further includes an outer side wall 43 secured between the outer surface 40 a and the inner surface 40 b. The outer side wall 43 may be fixed to the housing of the terminal device. Thecover plate 40 is a transparent hard plate member. Thecover plate 40 has a good protective effect on the display screen 10 and can achieve good light transmission. - Further, an ink layer 42 a is provided between the
cover plate 40 and thetouch panel 30. The ink layer 42 a corresponds to theshielding region 422 of thelight shielding band 42. As illustrated inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , thecover plate 40 includes an inner surface 40 b close to thetouch panel 30. The inner surface 40 b is provided with the ink layer 42 a corresponding to theshielding region 422 of thelight shielding band 42. As one implementation, the ink layer 42 a is printed on the inner surface 40 b by a screen printing technique. By virtue of the opacity of the ink layer 42 a, covering of thenon-display region 112 can be achieved, and partial light of thelight guide plate 20 is prevented from passing through. Normally, the ink layer 42 a is black; the ink layer 42 a causes thelight shielding band 42 to be black. In other situations, the ink layer 42 a may also use white ink. - Further, the
keypad region 421 is provided with a key pattern code(s) (not illustrated). The key pattern code is configured to identify the virtual key. As one implementation, the key pattern code is provided in a blank area of the ink layers 42 a. Multiple different key pattern codes may be provided formultiple keypad regions 421, and each key pattern code can be configured to represent a key with a different function. When thelight guide plate 20 is illuminated, the light of thelight guide plate 20 passes through the key pattern code, such that the key pattern code glows and the pattern identified by the key pattern code can be seen on the exterior surface of thecover plate 40, and it is possible to identify a corresponding virtual key and use it to realize instruction input. - Further, an optical adhesive layer 20 b is provided between the
light guide plate 20 and the display screen 10. Thelight guide plate 20 is bonded to the display screen 10 via the optical adhesive layer 20 b; in one aspect, this enhances the stable structure of thedisplay screen assembly 100, in another aspect, thelight guide plate 20 is directly attached to the display screen 10; therefore, the display screen 10 and thelight guide plate 20 are attached seamlessly, the display surface 11 is free of dust and impurities, and the display effect of thedisplay screen assembly 100 can be enhanced. - Further, the
display screen assembly 100 further includes a light source drive board 50 (for example, a strip-shaped light source drive board). The lightsource drive board 50 can be deemed as part of the lighting assembly. For instance, the lightsource drive board 50 is a stripe light source drive board. The lightsource drive board 50 is adjacent to the outer edge of thelight guide plate 20. The light source 20 a includes multiple LED lamp beads (not illustrated in the figures). The multiple LED lamp beads are provided on the lightsource drive board 50 and are arranged along the longitudinal direction of thelight guide plate 20. The multiple LED lamp beads are configured to emit light towards thelight guide plate 20. Specifically, the lightsource drive board 50 is provided with a drive circuit. When thedisplay screen assembly 100 is applied to a terminal device, the lightsource drive board 50 can be electrically connected with the control assembly and obtain a current signal via the control assembly so as to drive the light source 20 a to emit light. In this implementation, the lightsource drive board 50 is adjacent to the outer side surface 23 of thelight guide plate 20. The multiple LED lamp beads are bonded to one side of the lightsource drive board 50 that close to thelight guide plate 20. The light from the multiple LED lamp beads passes through the outer side surface 23 and is diffused through thelight guide plate 20 so as to be emitted from thetop surface 22. In other implementations, the edge of thelight guide plate 20 may be exposed to the display surface 11, and the lightsource drive board 50 is adjacent to the bottom surface 21 that is exposed to the display screen 10. The light of the light source 20 a passes through the bottom surface 21 and is emitted from thetop surface 22. - Further, the edge of a surface on one side of the
cover plate 40 that remote from thetouch panel 30 is arc-shaped. Thecover plate 40 includes an outer surface 40 a provided opposite to the inner surface 40 b. The edge of the outer surface 40 a is curved in a circular arc. As one implementation, the edge of the outer surface 40 a includes an arc-shaped surface 40 c curved in a circular arc. The front projection area of the arc-shaped surface 40 c at the inner surface 40 b corresponds to thenon-display region 112 of the display screen 10. Thus, by using the arc-shaped surface 40 c, the refraction angle of the light passing through thecover plate 40 of the ink layer 42 a can be changed, and it can be observed through thecover plate 40 that the ink layer 42 a is narrowing, such that the display surface 11 of thedisplay screen assembly 100 is visually larger. - The present disclosure further provides a terminal
front cover 200.FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the terminalfront cover 200 andFIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the terminalfront cover 200. The terminalfront cover 200 includes adisplay screen assembly 100. The terminalfront cover 200 further includes aframe 60. Theframe 60 is fixed to the edge of thecover plate 40. - In this implementation, the
frame 60 can be made of plastic. The thickness of theframe 60 can be thinner so as not to affect the effective display region of thedisplay region 111 of thedisplay screen assembly 100. Theframe 60 can stabilize thedisplay screen assembly 100. When the display screen 10 is a touch display screen, theframe 60 can also be a weak polar material. In addition to show good insulation effect, theframe 60 can also play a role in the transmission of fingerprint induced electric field. Theframe 60 includes aninner side surface 61. The outer side wall 43 of thecover plate 40 is fixed to theinner side surface 61. - As an implementation, the
cover plate 40 can be integrally formed with theframe 60. As an implementation, a glass raw material member of thecover plate 40 is molded by press roll molding, and thecover plate 40 is obtained by a cutting process. Thecover plate 40 is placed in a mold cavity of an injection mold, and then an injection molding process is carried out so that theframe 60 is integrally molded on thecover plate 40, such that the outer side wall 43 is better fitted to theinner side surface 61. The outer surface 40 a of thecover plate 40 and the exterior surface of theframe 60 are in the same mold cavity, and the outer surface 40 a and the exterior surface of theframe 60 can form a smooth surface while theframe 60 and thecover plate 40 are more stable in structure. In other implementations, if theframe 60 is made of a metal material, it is also possible to place thecover plate 40 in a mold cavity of a molding mold and inject liquid metal into the molding mold so that theframe 60 is integrally formed with thecover plate 40. - Further, the inner side of the
frame 60 is provided with agroove 62. The light source 20 a is configured to be accommodated in thegroove 62. As one implementation, thegroove 62 is arranged on aninner side surface 61. The lightsource drive board 50 and the light source 20 a are fixed in thegroove 62. The side wall of thegroove 62 prevents the light of the light source 20 a from being irradiated toward theframe 60 as well as the gap between theframe 60 and thecover plate 40, such that thegroove 62 can prevent the light source 20 a from leaking and thereby improve the performance of thedisplay screen assembly 100. In the present implementation, the lightsource drive board 50 is engaged with the side wall of thegroove 62. In other implementations, the lightsource drive board 50 may also be bonded to the side wall of thegroove 62. - In the present disclosure, according to another implementation, there is provided a
terminal 300.FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal 300 according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , the terminal 300 includes the terminalfront cover 200 as illustrated inFIG. 3 orFIG. 4 .

Thecontrol assembly 80 electrically connects the display screen 10 and the lightsource drive board 50 so as to control the display screen 10 and the light source 20 a. It is to be understood that the terminal 300 is a terminal device, which may be one of a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, an electronic reader, an electronic album, a display and the like. - Unless otherwise indicated, various features described in the implementations of the present disclosure may be combined or replaced with each other. For example, details of the elements described in the implementations of the
display screen assembly 100 can be equally applicable to the implementations of the terminalfront cover 200 and theterminal 300 of the present disclosure. - In the display screen assembly and the terminal, the light guide plate is configured to cover the non-display region correspondingly, and the light source is used to illuminate the light guide plate. Besides, the light shielding band is configured to include the keypad region and the shielding region disposed around the keypad region. The keypad region is configured to pass through the light of the light guide plate and is provided corresponding to the virtual key of the touch panel. The shielding region is configured to shield the light of the light guide plate. In this way, the non-display region of the display screen can be utilized and therefore the display region of the display screen assembly can be increased effectively and is ergonomic.
