Abstract

A display module is provided and includes: a backplane, defining a receiving slot; a light source assembly, arranged at a bottom of the receiving slot; an optical substrate, snapped to an upper portion of the accommodation slot, wherein a sealing cavity is defined between the optical substrate and the optical source assembly; a coolant, received in the sealing cavity; and a self-sealing fixation assembly, rotatably arranged on a slot wall of the receiving slot. In a first state, the optical substrate abuts against the self-sealing fixation assembly in a direction towards the bottom of the receiving slot; and, in a second state, the self-sealing fixation assembly is in an interference fit with the optical substrate, the self-sealing fixation assembly and the optical substrate are locked with each other to cooperatively define the sealing cavity.
