具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图，对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然，所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非另作定义，此处使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本发明所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性，而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样，“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同，而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接，而是可以包括电性的连接，不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系，当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后，则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
如上所述，当前的窄边框设计方法均难以令人满意。有些显示装置在缩窄边框的同时，会使得显示装置厚度较大。
本公开的至少一个实施例提供了一种显示装置，其能够在不增大显示装置厚度的情况下缩窄显示装置的边框，从而实现显示装置的超薄超窄设计。
图1是根据本公开至少一个实施例的显示装置的结构示意图。如图1所示，根据本公开至少一个实施例的显示装置100包括显示面板10、第一电路 板20以及第二电路板30。显示面板10包括出光侧和与出光侧相反的非出光侧。出光侧指的是在使用时向用户显示图像的一侧，即显示侧。在图1中，示意性地示出了显示面板10的非出光侧。第一电路板20与显示面板10电连接并被定位在显示面板10的非出光侧。在一些实施例中，第一电路板20在显示面板10所在平面上的投影与显示面板10所在区域至少部分重叠。例如，第一电路板20在显示面板10所在平面上的投影落在显示面板10的范围之内。第二电路板30配置为与第一电路板20电连接，并且第二电路板30包括与10显示面板信号连接的功能电路。
需要说明的是，图1中仅示意性的示出了一个第一电路板20和一个第二电路板30，然而在其他实施例中显示装置100根据实际要求还可包括其他数量的第一电路板20和第二电路板30，本公开的实施例对显示装置100包括的第一电路板20和第二电路板30的个数不作限定。
在一些实施例中，显示面板10例如可以为液晶面板、有机发光二极管(OLED)显示面板、量子点发光二极管(QLED)显示面板、电子纸面板等。显示面板10可具有任何尺寸和类型，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。例如，在一些实施例中，显示面板10可以是扭曲向列(TN)型液晶面板、高级超维场转换(ADS)型液晶面板、面内转换(IPS)型液晶面板、垂直配向(VA)型液晶面板、有源矩阵有机发光二极管(AMOLED)型显示面板、无源矩阵有机发光二极管(PMOLED)型显示面板等。例如，在一些实施例中，显示面板10的尺寸可以是0.2寸、1寸、10寸、32寸、55寸、110寸等。
在一些实施例中，第一电路板20的厚度小于1mm。例如，第一电路板20的厚度可小于或等于0.9mm、0.8mm、0.7mm、0.6mm、0.5mm、0.44mm等。在一些实施例中，第一电路板20的宽度还可小于5mm。例如，第一电路板20的宽度可小于或等于4mm、3mm等。此外，应理解，这里提到的宽度指的是第一电路板20沿图1中的X方向的延伸距离和沿图1中的Y方向的延伸距离中较短的一个延伸距离。在图1中，第一电路板20的宽度为沿图1中的Y方向的延伸距离。第一电路板20的上述尺寸(具体为第一电路板20的厚度)使得在第一电路板20被设置在显示面板10的非出光侧时对显示装置100的厚度的影响很小。
在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可配置为对显示面板10和第二电路板 30仅提供电连接，以传递信号(例如数据信号、控制信号、时序信号等)或电源，而不具有任何的信号处理能力，即第一电路板20上可不具有任何的信号处理电路、接口电路、电源电路。例如，第一电路板20可实现为本领域中已知的柔性扁平电缆(flexible flat cable，FFC)，该柔性扁平电缆可以具有任何合适的类型，本公开的实施例对柔性扁平电缆的类型不作限制。
在另一些实施例中，第一电路板20上也可在提供电连接以传递信号或电能的基础上还形成有信号处理电路，只要第一电路板20可满足上述的尺寸要求，例如满足上述的厚度要求。

在一些实施例中，在使用中，第二电路板30可设置在显示面板10外部，即第二电路板30在显示面板10所在平面上的投影与显示面板10所在区域不重叠。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例并不限于此。在另一些实施例中，在使用中，根据实际要求，第二电路板30在显示面板10所在平面上的投影也可与显示面板10所在区域至少部分重叠。
第二电路板30的与显示面板10信号连接的功能电路可包括以下中至少之一：接口电路、电源电路以及信号处理电路。

上述的电源电路例如可包括以下中至少之一：LDO(Low Dropout Voltage Regulator，低压差稳压器)电路、Boost转换器、正电荷泵(Positive Charge Bump)、负电荷泵(Negative Charge Bump)、分压电路等。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例并不限于此。在一些实施例中，该电源电路还可采用电源管理芯片(PMIC)。
上述的信号处理电路例如可包括时序控制电路、灰阶电路等。例如，时 序控制电路可向显示面板10的扫描驱动电路和数据驱动电路提供控制信号，以及灰阶电路可向显示面板10的数据驱动电路提供伽马(Gamma)基准电压。例如，在本公开的一些实施例中，时序控制电路可以采用时序控制器(Timing Controller，TCON)。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例并不限于此，在其他实施例中，根据实际要求，第二电路板30的信号处理电路还可包括实现其他功能的电路。
第二电路板30的尺寸、层数等参数可根据实际要求来确定，本公开的实施例对第二电路板30的尺寸、层数等不作限制。
在一些实施例中，显示装置100还可包括柔性印刷电路板，该柔性印刷电路板配置为将第一电路板20与以下中至少之一电连接：显示面板10和第二电路板30。例如，在一些实施例中，该柔性印刷电路板可包括第一柔性印刷电路板40和第二柔性印刷电路板50中至少之一。虽然图1中示出了第一柔性印刷电路板40和第二柔性印刷电路板50，然而应理解，在其他实施例中，显示装置100可不包括第一柔性印刷电路板40，或不包括第二柔性印刷电路板50，或两者都不包括，本公开的实施例对此不做限制。
在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可通过第一柔性印刷电路40与显示面板10电连接。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例并不限于此。例如，在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可通过导线与显示面板10电连接。虽然在图1中示出了第一电路板20通过两个第一柔性印刷电路40与显示面板10电连接，然而应理解，第一电路板20还可通过一个或三个及以上数量的第一柔性印刷电路40与显示面板10电连接，以建立与显示面板10的信号连接等，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
在一些实施例中，第一柔性印刷电路40可连接在显示面板10的非出光侧，并且第一柔性印刷电路40可连接在定位在显示面板10的非出光侧的第一电路板20的背向显示面板10的一侧。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例并不限于此。例如，在另一些实施例中，第一柔性印刷电路40还可连接在显示面板10的出光侧或侧面，以及第一柔性印刷电路40可连接在定位在显示面板10的非出光侧的第一电路板20的朝向显示面板10的一侧或第一电路板20的侧面。第一柔性印刷电路板40例如可通过绑定(bonding)的方式连接至或通过各向异性导电胶粘接至第一电路板20和显示面板10。
在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可通过第二柔性印刷电路50与第二电路板30电连接。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例并不限于此。例如，在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可通过导线与第二电路板30电连接。虽然在图1中示出了第一电路板20通过一个第二柔性印刷电路50与第二电路板30电连接，然而应理解，第一电路板20还可通过两个及以上数量的第二柔性印刷电路50与第二电路板30电连接，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。与上述类似的，在一些实施例中，第二柔性印刷电路50可通过绑定(bonding)的方式连接至或通过各向异性导电胶粘接至第一电路板20和第二电路板30。
第二柔性印刷电路板50例如可连接在第一电路板20的背向显示面板10的一侧、第一电路板20的朝向显示面板10的一侧、或第一电路板20的侧面，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。第二柔性电路板50也可连接在第二电路板30的任意位置，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
图2是根据本公开至少一个实施例的显示装置的结构示意图。如图2所示，在根据本公开至少一个实施例的显示装置100’中，显示面板10’可包括走线区域11，其中，在走线区域11中可设置有驱动电路13，该驱动电路13例如可以是扫描驱动电路和/或数据驱动电路，以及例如在显示面板10’为液晶显示面板或电子纸显示面板的情形，显示面板10’还可包括背光源12，以提供显示用光源，该背光源12可以为各种类型的，例如侧入式或直下式，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。第一柔性印刷电路40可包括第一子柔性印刷电路41和第二子柔性印刷电路42。第一子柔性印刷电路41可用于将显示面板10’的背光源12与第一电路板20电连接，以及第二子柔性印刷电路42可用于将显示面板10’的驱动电路13(扫描驱动电路和/或数据驱动电路)与第一电路板20电连接。第一子柔性印刷电路41和第二子柔性印刷电路42例如可通过绑定(bonding)的方式与第一电路板20电连接。在另一些实施例中，第一子柔性印刷电路41和第二子柔性印刷电路42可通过各向异性导电胶粘接至第一电路板20。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。此外，应理解，虽然在图2中示出了第一柔性印刷电路40包括分离的第一子柔性印刷电路41和第二子柔性印刷电路42，然而应理解，在其他实施例中，第一子柔性印刷电路41和第二子柔性印刷电路42可一体形成，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可以是非柔性电路板。例如，第一电路板20可以是硬质电路板。在第一电路板20采用非柔性电路板的情况下，可避免在第一柔性印刷电路40与第一电路板20之间形成柔性电路板-柔性电路板的连接，可提高贴合精度，且降低了对设备精度的要求。
在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可具有多层结构。例如，第一电路板20可以是具有2层板的印刷电路板，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可通过第二柔性印刷电路50’与第二电路板30电连接。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例并不限于此。例如，在一些实施例中，第一电路板20可通过导线与第二电路板30电连接。与上述类似的，在一些实施例中，第二柔性印刷电路50’可通过绑定(bonding)的方式连接至或各向异性导电胶粘接至第一电路板20和第二电路板30。
虽然在图1中示出了第一电路板20通过一个第二柔性印刷电路50’与第二电路板30电连接，然而应理解，第一电路板20还可通过两个及以上数量的第二柔性印刷电路50’与第二电路板30电连接，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
在第一电路板20采用非柔性电路板的情况下，可避免在第二柔性印刷电路50’与第一电路板20之间形成柔性电路板-柔性电路板的连接，可提高贴合精度，且降低了对设备精度的要求。类似地，在一些实施例中，第二电路板30也可以是非柔性电路板。例如，第二电路板30可以是硬质电路板。在第二电路板30采用非柔性电路板的情况下，可避免在第二柔性印刷电路50’与第二电路板30之间形成柔性电路板-柔性电路板的连接，可提高贴合精度，且降低了对设备精度的要求。此外，在第二电路板30采用非柔性电路板的情况下，由于第二电路板30与设置在其上的各种功能电路的热膨胀系数相差不大，可避免热膨胀系数相差较大导致的不稳定和制造良率低等问题。
在一些实施例中，第二柔性印刷电路50’还可包括连接器51，第二柔性印刷电路50’通过连接器51与第二电路板30电连接。连接器51可采用扣接式连接器，从而通过扣接的方式连接至第二电路板30。在连接器51采用扣接式连接器的情况下，第二电路板30上可设置有与连接器51相配合的插座。第二柔性印刷电路50与第二电路板30之间采用扣接的方式连接，可提高第二柔性印刷电路50’与第二电路板30之间连接的稳定性，并可避免包括该显 示装置的电子设备在折叠时绑定(bonding)式连接可能脱落的问题。图3示出了根据本公开至少一个实施例的第二柔性印刷电路板50’的连接器51和第二电路板30的插座31的示意图。
在另一些实施例中，如图4所示，显示装置100’还包括软硬结合板60，第二柔性印刷电路50’还可通过软硬结合板60与第二电路板30形成连接。然而，应理解，本公开的实施例对此不作限制。这里提到的软硬结合板指的是柔性电路板与硬性电路板，经过压合等工序，按相关工艺要求组合在一起，形成的具有柔性电路板特性与印刷电路板特性的电路板。
