Abstract

A touch display module has plural sensors and includes an integrated frame, a backlight module, a thin film transistor substrate, a color filter, and a polarizer. The integrated frame has a bottom plate portion and a side plate portion, and the side plate portion stands on the bottom plate portion. The backlight module is disposed on the bottom plate portion. The thin film transistor substrate is disposed on the backlight module. The color filter is disposed on the thin film transistor substrate. The polarizer is disposed on the color filter. One surface of the polarizer is an outer surface of the touch display module. The thin film transistor substrate and/or the color filter is connected to the side plate portion of the integrated frame. Therefore, by using the integrated frame to integrate required components into one mechanical part, the touch display module has thinner thickness and lighter weight.

Claims (61)

1. A touch display module comprising a plurality of sensors, wherein the touch display module comprises:

an integrated frame having a bottom plate portion and a side plate portion, wherein the side plate portion stands on the bottom plate portion;

a backlight module disposed on the bottom plate portion, wherein the backlight module is located in a space which is surrounded by the side plate portion;

a thin film transistor substrate disposed on the backlight module;

a color filter disposed on the thin film transistor substrate; and

a polarizer disposed on the color filter, wherein:

a surface of the polarizer is an outer surface of the touch display module,

at least one of the thin film transistor substrate or the color filter is connected to the side plate portion of the integrated frame, and

the color filter and the polarizer overlie a top surface of the side plate portion and are carried on the top surface of the side plate portion.

2. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein:

the thin film transistor substrate overlies the top surface of the side plate portion and is carried on the top surface of the side plate portion.

3. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein:

the thin film transistor substrate is located in the space which is surrounded by the side plate portion.

4. The touch display module of claim 1 , further comprising a black matrix layer, wherein the black matrix layer is disposed between the polarizer and the color filter, between the color filter and the thin film transistor substrate, or on a bottom surface of the thin film transistor substrate.

5. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein:

the bottom plate portion of the integrated frame has a recessed portion, and

a buffer is disposed in the recessed portion.

6. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the polarizer is a hardened surface.

7. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein the sensors are disposed on an upper surface or a bottom surface of the color filter, or disposed on an upper surface or a bottom surface of the thin film transistor substrate, or disposed on a bottom surface of the polarizer.

8. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein the backlight module comprises a reflective film, a light guide plate disposed on the reflective film, and one or more optical films disposed on the light guide plate.

9. The touch display module of claim 8 , wherein:

the bottom plate portion of the integrated frame has a recessed portion,

a buffer is disposed in the recessed portion, and

the reflective film is disposed on the buffer.

10. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein:

the backlight module comprises a reflective film, and

a buffer is disposed between the bottom plate portion and the reflective film.

11. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein a sidewall of the side plate portion is co-planar with a sidewall of at least one of the color filter or the polarizer.

12. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein a sidewall of the side plate portion is co-planar with a sidewall of the color filter and a sidewall of the polarizer.

13. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein the backlight module comprises a light source and a light guide plate adjacent the light source.

14. The touch display module of claim 1 , wherein the thin film transistor substrate is in contact with a sidewall of the side plate portion.

15. A touch display module comprising a plurality of sensors, wherein the touch display module comprises:

an integrated frame having a bottom plate portion and a side plate portion, wherein:

the side plate portion stands on the bottom plate portion,

the side plate portion has a first step portion and a second step portion, and

the second step portion is higher than the first step portion;

a backlight module disposed on the bottom plate portion, wherein the backlight module is located in a space which is surrounded by the first step portion;

a thin film transistor substrate disposed on the backlight module;

a color filter disposed on the thin film transistor substrate; and

a polarizer disposed on the color filter, wherein:

a surface of the polarizer is an outer surface of the touch display module,

at least one of the thin film transistor substrate or the color filter is connected to the side plate portion of the integrated frame, and

the color filter and the polarizer overlie a top surface of the first step portion, are carried on the top surface of the first step portion, and are located in a space which is surrounded by the second step portion.

16. The touch display module of claim 15 , wherein outer side edges of the thin film transistor substrate, the color filter, and the polarizer are connected to an inner sidewall of the second step portion by a filling adhesive.

17. The touch display module of claim 15 , wherein:

outer side edges of the thin film transistor substrate and the color filter are set with a ring-shaped engaging member,

the ring-shaped engaging member is engaged with an engaging mechanism which is disposed on an inner sidewall of the second step portion, and

an outer side edge of the polarizer is directly abutted against the inner sidewall of the second step portion.

18. A touch display module comprising a plurality of sensors, wherein the touch display module comprises:

an integrated frame having a bottom plate portion and a side plate portion, wherein:

the side plate portion stands on the bottom plate portion, and

the bottom plate portion of the integrated frame has a recessed portion;

a buffer disposed in the recessed portion,

a backlight module disposed on the bottom plate portion over the buffer;

a thin film transistor substrate disposed on the backlight module;

a color filter disposed on the thin film transistor substrate; and

a polarizer disposed on the color filter, wherein:

a surface of the polarizer is an outer surface of the touch display module, and

at least one of the thin film transistor substrate or the color filter is connected to the side plate portion of the integrated frame.

19. The touch display module of claim 18 , wherein the bottom plate portion contacts a bottom surface of the backlight module.

20. The touch display module of claim 18 , wherein the backlight module comprises a reflective film, a light guide plate disposed on the reflective film, and one or more optical films disposed on the light guide plate.
