Abstract

A display module, including a display panel, a protective cover, and a camera module, is provided. The display panel includes a through-hole region provided with a through-hole, and a non-through-hole region. The protective cover is disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel, and the camera module is disposed on a side facing away from the light-emitting side of the display panel. A lens of the camera module is disposed corresponding to the through-hole, a side of the protective cover close the display panel has an arc-shaped concave surface, and the arc-shaped concave surface is disposed corresponding to the through-hole.

Claims (30)

1. A display module, comprising:

a display panel comprising a through-hole region and a non-through-hole region, and the through-hole region provided with a through-hole;

a protective cover disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel; and

a camera module disposed on a side facing away from the light-emitting side of the display panel, the camera module comprising a lens, and the lens disposed corresponding to the through-hole;

wherein the protective cover has an arc-shaped concave surface at a side close to the display panel, and the arc-shaped concave surface is disposed corresponding to the through-hole, the protective cover covers the display panel, and a size of a cross-section of the through-hole is smaller than or equal to a size of the lens;

wherein the arc-shaped concave surface has an arc-shape in a plane perpendicular to the protective cover.

2. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the side of the protective cover close to the display panel comprises a first sub-surface and a second sub-surface, the first sub-surface corresponds to the through-hole region, and the second sub-surface corresponds to the non-through-hole region.

3. The display module according to claim 2 , wherein the first sub-surface is a circular arc-shaped concave surface or an elliptical arc-shaped concave surface.

4. The display module according to claim 3 , wherein an orthographic projection of the first sub-surface on the display panel covers the through-hole of the display panel.

5. The display module according to claim 3 , wherein the first sub-surface is higher than the second sub-surface.

6. The display module according to claim 3 , wherein the first sub-surface is lower than the second sub-surface.

7. The display module according to claim 2 , wherein the second sub-surface is a plane and covers the non-through-hole region of the display panel.

8. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the through-hole penetrates the display panel.

9. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the protective cover is a glass substrate.

10. A display module, comprising:

a display panel comprising a through-hole region and a non-through-hole region, and the through-hole region provided with a through-hole;

a protective cover disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel; and

a camera module disposed on a side facing away from the light-emitting side of the display panel, the camera module comprising a lens, and the lens disposed corresponding to the through-hole;

wherein the protective cover has an arc-shaped concave surface at a side close to the display panel, and the arc-shaped concave surface is disposed corresponding to the through-hole;

wherein the arc-shaped concave surface has an arc-shape in a plane perpendicular to the protective cover.

11. The display module according to claim 10 , wherein the protective cover covers the display panel.

12. The display module according to claim 10 , wherein a surface of the side of the protective cover close to the display panel comprises a first sub-surface and a second sub-surface, the first sub-surface corresponds to the through-hole region, and the second sub-surface corresponds to the non-through-hole region.

13. The display module according to claim 12 , wherein the first sub-surface is a circular arc-shaped concave surface or an elliptical arc-shaped concave surface.

14. The display module according to claim 13 , wherein an orthographic projection of the first sub-surface on the display panel covers the through-hole of the display panel.

15. The display module according to claim 13 , wherein the first sub-surface is higher than the second sub-surface.

16. The display module according to claim 13 , wherein the first sub-surface is lower than the second sub-surface.

17. The display module according to claim 12 , wherein the second sub-surface is a plane and covers the non-through-hole region of the display panel.

18. The display module according to claim 10 , wherein a size of a cross-section of the through-hole is smaller than or equal to a size of the lens.

19. The display module according to claim 10 , wherein the through-hole penetrates the display panel.
