Abstract

A liquid crystal module and an electronic device are provided. The liquid crystal module includes a liquid crystal panel including a light-admitting area and a light-shielding area located at an edge of the light-admitting area, a light conversion film disposed opposite to the liquid crystal panel, where the light conversion film includes a first side portion disposed opposite to the light-shielding area, and a width of the first side portion is greater than or equal to 0.8 mm, a brightness enhancement film disposed between the liquid crystal panel and the light conversion film, and a supporting portion disposed between the first side portion and the light-shielding area, and configured to support the liquid crystal panel.

Claims (26)

1. A liquid crystal module comprising:

a liquid crystal panel comprising a light-admitting area and a light-shielding area located at an edge of the light-admitting area;

a light conversion film comprising a first side portion disposed opposite the light-shielding area;

a brightness enhancement film disposed between the liquid crystal panel and the light conversion film;

a supporting portion disposed between the first side portion and the light-shielding area, wherein the supporting portion is configured to support the liquid crystal panel; and

a bearing portion, wherein the bearing portion has an upper step surface that supports the supporting portion and a step surface that supports the first side portion.

2. The liquid crystal module of claim 1 , wherein the brightness enhancement film comprises a second side portion that is disposed parallel with the supporting portion, between the first side portion and the light-shielding area.

3. The liquid crystal module of claim 1 , wherein the supporting portion is made of a metal material.

4. The liquid crystal module of claim 1 , wherein a gap exists between the first side portion and the supporting portion.

5. The liquid crystal module of claim 4 , wherein the supporting portion is bonded onto the bearing portion.

6. The liquid crystal module of claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal module further comprises a light guide and a reflector, wherein the light guide is disposed between the reflector and the light conversion film, and wherein the reflector is bonded onto the bearing portion.

7. The liquid crystal module of claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal module further comprises a light-shielding tape, wherein the light-shielding tape is used to bond the supporting portion and the light-shielding area.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel comprising a light-admitting area and a light-shielding area located at an edge of the light-admitting area;

a light conversion film comprising a first side portion disposed opposite the light-shielding area;

a brightness enhancement film disposed between the liquid crystal panel and the light conversion film;

a supporting component comprising a supporting portion that is disposed between the first side portion and the light-shielding area, wherein the supporting component is configured to support the liquid crystal panel; and

a bearing portion, wherein the bearing portion has an upper step surface that supports the supporting portion and a step surface that supports the first side portion.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the supporting component is in a frame shape or a bar shape.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the supporting component is disposed around an edge of the brightness enhancement film.

11. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the supporting portion is made of a metal material.

12. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein a gap exists between the first side portion and the supporting portion.

13. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the supporting portion is bonded onto the bearing portion.

14. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the electronic device further comprises a light guide and a reflector, wherein the light guide is disposed between the reflector and the light conversion film, and wherein the reflector is bonded onto the bearing portion.

15. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the supporting component further comprises a base portion that is disposed around an edge of the bearing portion and connected to the supporting portion.

16. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the electronic device further comprises a light-shielding tape used to bond the supporting portion and the light-shielding area.
