Display device having anti-static function
A display device which is immune to a build-up of static electricity includes a display module and an anti-static layer. The anti-static layer is formed on a side surface of the display module. The anti-static layer includes an insulating layer on the side surface and a conductive layer stacked on the insulating layer. The conductive layer is electrically coupled to a conductive component of the display device.
1. A display device comprising:
a backlight module;
a display module stacked on the backlight module, the display module and the backlight module cooperatively defining at least one side surface; and
an anti-static layer on the at least one side surface;
an outer frame receiving the display module and the backlight module;
wherein the anti-static layer comprises an insulating layer on the at least one side surface and a conductive layer stacked on the insulating layer; the conductive layer is electrically coupled to a conductive component of the display device;
wherein the insulating layer is configured to accumulate electrostatic charges, and the anti-static layer is configured to conduct the electrostatic charges from the insulating layer to the conductive component;
wherein the backlight module comprises a back plate made of an electrically conductive material; the conductive layer extends to be electrically coupled to the back plate;
wherein the back plate comprises a bottom wall and at least one side wall substantially perpendicularly extending from the bottom wall; the display module and the at least one side wall are coupled to define the at least one side surface;
wherein a gap is formed between the back plate and the outer frame; the anti-static layer is in the gap; the insulating layer is in direct contact with the at least one side surface, and the conductive layer is in direct contact with a surface of the insulating layer away from the at least one side surface.
