[0051] In recent years, display module manufacturers have been placing increasingly higher demands on the production cost and efficiency of display modules. During the process of manufacturing display modules, bonding of an adhesive layer, such as a light shielding adhesive, is required. However, for adhesive layer attachment at locations with step differences, manual squeezing and bonding by hand, for instance using handheld cotton swabs to squeeze, is often necessary. This manual process is characterized by low efficiency and high labor costs, consequently reducing the overall efficiency of the display module production and increasing costs.
[0052] With reference to
[0056] The present invention, by using the squeeze sub-portion 320 of the lamination part 300 with a smaller width, more conveniently squeezes and bonds the adhesive layer 10, which facilitates mechanized bonding, improves a bonding efficiency and reduces a labor cost while guaranteeing a bonding effect.
[0057] Now, technical solutions of the present invention are described in combination with specific embodiments.
[0058] In the present embodiment, with reference to
[0059] A lamination direction of the lamination part 300 is indicated by X. A tape bonding apparatus being a display module is used as an example, the display module can be a liquid crystal display module, and can be a self-luminous display module. To facilitate description, the present specification uses a liquid crystal display module as an example for explanation. The display module comprises a liquid crystal display panel 21 and a backlight module 22 and a cover plate 23 located on two sides of the liquid crystal display panel 21 respectively. In general, an end portion of the liquid crystal display panel 21 is retracted relative to the backlight module 22 and the cover plate 23. An end portion step difference is formed between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the cover plate 23, and an end portion step difference is formed between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the backlight module 22. Therefore, during bonding the light shielding adhesive, bonding an end portion of the liquid crystal display panel 21 requires manual press.
[0060] The squeeze sub-portion 320 of the lamination part 300 is set to have a shape of a smaller width, as shown in
[0061] In some embodiments, generally, material of the lamination part 300 is hard material. during squeezing and bonding the adhesive layer 10, the lamination part 300 easily has a risk scratching the backlight module 22 or the cover plate 23.
[0062] With reference to
[0063] The elastic modulus of the flexible body 400 is less than the elastic modulus of the connector 500 such that a buffer function is applied between the connector 500 and the apparatus to be bonded 20 to reduce a risk of the lamination part 300 scratching the apparatus to be bonded 20 during squeezing and bonding the adhesive layer 10 to protect the apparatus to be bonded 20.
[0064] Also, the flexible body 400 deforms during squeezing to cover more of the light shielding adhesive such that the light shielding adhesive is squeezed to be bonded tightly to the tape bonding apparatus, which improves the bonding effect.
[0065] In some embodiments, the end portion step difference between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the cover plate 23, and the end portion step difference between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the backlight module 22 are used as an example, during bonding the light shielding adhesive, the light shielding adhesive would not fully cover the two end portion step differences. Generally, the light shielding adhesive would be bonded to the backlight module 22 first, and then squeezing bonding is implemented. An amount of the light shielding adhesive required for the bonding between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the cover plate 23 is less, and it should be noticed not to scratch the cover plate 23 during performing squeezing between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the cover plate 23. However, a amount of the light shielding adhesive required for the bonding between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the backlight module 22 is greater, and more powerful squeezing is required to deform the flexible body 400 during squeezing to cover more of the light shielding adhesive to squeeze the light shielding adhesive to be bonded tightly to the tape bonding apparatus to improve the bonding effect.
[0066] With reference to
[0067] The elastic modulus of the first portion 410 being greater than the elastic modulus of the second portion 420 is used as an example, during bonding the light shielding adhesive, the first portion 410 can be bonded to a side of the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the backlight module 22, and the second portion 420 can be bonded to a side of the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the cover plate 23. The first portion 410 can apply a more direct force to the light shielding adhesive between the liquid crystal display panel 21 and the backlight module 22. The second portion 420 can better prevent the lamination part 300 from scratching the cover plate 23.
[0068] In some embodiments, when the flexible body 400 is squeezed, deformation of the flexible body 400 can be applied to the light shielding adhesive to drive the light shielding adhesive to be bonded better tightly to the apparatus to be bonded 20.
[0069] With reference to
[0070] Generally, a squeezing direction of the lamination part 300 is a direction from the lamination main portion 310 to the squeeze sub-portion 320. A thickness of the fourth portion 440 is greater. When the flexible body 400 of the squeeze sub-portion 320 is squeezed, the fourth portion 440 deforms more easily, and the fourth portion 440 with the greater thickness facilitates greater deformation to perform squeezing and bonding to the surrounding light shielding adhesive and improve the bonding effect.
[0071] In some embodiments, with reference to
[0072] In some embodiments, with reference to
[0073] A squeezing principle of the squeeze sub-portion 320 can be pneumatic squeezing that pressurizes the first via hole 450 through the pneumatic part 600 to inflate and expand the cavity 480 to further expand the flexible body 400 to squeeze the light shielding adhesive for bonding. The principle is similar to inflation and expansion of a balloon to mitigate direct squeezing of the hard material of the connector 500, and elastic material is used for squeezing and bonding to protect the adhesive layer 10 and the tape bonding apparatus.
[0074] In some embodiments, with reference to
[0075] The first sidewall 460 is nearer an end of the cavity 480 away from connector 500, an elastic modulus of the first cavity 480 is smaller to more facilitate expansion to provide the adhesive layer 10 with a better bonding pressure, increase a bonding efficiency, and improve the bonding effect.
[0076] In some embodiments, with reference to
[0077] In some embodiments, with reference to
[0078] During bonding the adhesive layer 10, the attaching part 700 attaches the adhesive layer 10 to a corresponding point position of the apparatus to be bonded 20 first, and then performs a rolling attachment by the roller portion 710. The alignment inspection part 800 can automatically inspect the alignment bonding position between the adhesive layer 10 and the apparatus to be bonded 20 to increase accuracy of alignment bonding point position and improve the attachment effect.

Therefore, the amount of deformation of the flexible portion on the bonding surface should be less than or equal to 0.25 mm to make the bonding effect reach the standard.
[0085] With reference to Table table 3, when a coverage of the squeeze sub-portion 320 on the adhesive layer 10 is greater than 100%, no risk of scratch to the cover plate 23.
[0086] With reference to Table 4, material of the flexible portion being silicone is used as an example, a coverage of the squeeze sub-portion 320 on the adhesive layer 10 is required to be greater than or equal to 90%. Therefore, a pressure is required to be greater than or equal to 0.1 MPa. An amount of deformation of the flexible portion on the bonding surface needs to be less than or equal to 0.25 mm. Therefore, a pressure is required to be less than or equal to 0.24 MPa.
[0087] The present invention, by using the squeeze sub-portion 320 of the lamination part 300 with a smaller width, more conveniently squeezes and bonds the adhesive layer 10, which facilitates mechanized bonding, improves a bonding efficiency and reduces a labor cost while guaranteeing a bonding effect.
