Abstract

The display device includes a display panel, a fingerprint identification module, a fingerprint identification flexible circuit board, and a frame sealant, wherein the fingerprint identification module is disposed on a non-display side of the display panel, the fingerprint identification module includes a fingerprint identification region and a peripheral region surrounding the fingerprint identification region; the frame sealant is at least partially disposed between the display panel and the peripheral region of the fingerprint identification module; and wherein at least one opening is provided on a side of an orthographic projection of the frame sealant on the display panel proximal to the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board, and the at least one opening being at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board on the display panel.

Claims (29)

1. A display device, comprising a display panel, a fingerprint identification module, a fingerprint identification flexible circuit board, and a frame sealant, wherein

the fingerprint identification module is disposed on a non-display side of the display panel, the fingerprint identification module comprises a fingerprint identification region and a peripheral region surrounding the fingerprint identification region, and the peripheral region is arranged with a first connection terminal;

the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board is provided with a second connection terminal, and the second connection terminal is electrically connected with the first connection terminal; and

the frame sealant is at least partially disposed between the display panel and the peripheral region of the fingerprint identification module, and is configured to bond the fingerprint identification module and the display panel,

wherein at least one opening is provided on a side of an orthographic projection of the frame sealant on the display panel proximal to the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board, the at least one opening being at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board on the display panel;

wherein a span of a region where the frame sealant is provided with an opening in a reference direction is less than or equal to a width of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board in the reference direction, the reference direction intersecting an opening direction of the opening.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board on the display panel covers the at least one opening.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame sealant is provided with an opening.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an edge sealant layer, wherein an orthographic projection of an outer frame of the frame sealant on the display panel surrounds an orthographic projection of the edge sealant layer on the display panel, and the fingerprint identification module and the frame sealant are both attached to the edge sealant layer.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein a distance between an inner frame and the outer frame of the frame sealant, at any position of the frame sealant, ranges approximately from 2.5 mm to 3 mm.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an edge sealant layer, wherein an orthographic projection of an outer frame of the edge sealant layer on the display panel surrounds the orthographic projection of the frame sealant on the display panel, and the fingerprint identification module, the frame sealant, and the display panel are all attached to the edge sealant layer.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein a distance between an inner frame and the outer frame of the frame sealant, at any position of the frame sealant, ranges approximately from 1.5 mm to 1.8 mm.

8. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein a region enclosed by the frame sealant and the at least one opening is in a polygonal shape, and the frame sealant, except for a side thereof provided with the opening, is attached to the fingerprint identification module by the edge sealant layer.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the region enclosed by the frame sealant and the at least one opening is in a rectangular shape.

10. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the edge sealant layer is attached to a side of the fingerprint identification module.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the orthographic projection of an outer frame of the frame sealant on the display panel surrounds the orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification module on the display panel.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame sealant is provided with a plurality of openings, and a distance between each adjacent two openings is equal.

13. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame sealant is provided with a plurality of openings, opening surfaces of the plurality of openings being equal in size.

14. An assembly method of a display device, comprising:

attaching a side of frame sealant to a non-display side of a display panel;

attaching a peripheral region of a fingerprint identification module to the opposite side of the frame sealant, wherein the fingerprint identification module is provided with a fingerprint identification region and the peripheral region surrounding the fingerprint identification region; and

bonding a second connection terminal of a fingerprint identification flexible circuit board and a first connection terminal in the peripheral region, wherein at least one opening is provided on a side of an orthographic projection of the frame sealant on the display panel proximal to the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board, the at least one opening being at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board on the display panel;

wherein a span of a region where the frame sealant is provided with an opening in a reference direction is less than or equal to a width of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board in the reference direction, the reference direction intersecting an opening direction of the opening.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein after bonding the second connection terminal of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board and the first connection terminal in the peripheral region, the method further comprises:

coating an edge sealant layer to cause a side of the fingerprint identification module and the frame sealant to be attached to the edge sealant layer.

16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein after bonding the second connection terminal of the fingerprint identification flexible circuit board and the first connection terminal in the peripheral region, the method further comprises:

coating an edge sealant layer to cause the side of the fingerprint identification module, the frame sealant, and the display panel to be attached to the edge sealant layer.

17. The display device according to claim 2 , further comprising: an edge sealant layer, wherein an orthographic projection of an outer frame of the frame sealant on the display panel surrounds an orthographic projection of the edge sealant layer on the display panel, and the fingerprint identification module and the frame sealant are both attached to the edge sealant layer.

18. The display device according to claim 3 , further comprising: an edge sealant layer, wherein an orthographic projection of an outer frame of the frame sealant on the display panel surrounds an orthographic projection of the edge sealant layer on the display panel, and the fingerprint identification module and the frame sealant are both attached to the edge sealant layer.
