Abstract

A display module includes a display panel, an external frame, and a pad structure. The external frame is disposed at a side of the display panel. The pad structure is disposed between the display panel and the external frame. A panel-absorbing portion is formed on a surface of the pad structure facing the display panel. The panel-absorbing portion is used for absorbing the display panel so as to fix the pad structure on the display panel.

Claims

1. A display module comprising:

a display panel;

an external frame disposed at a side of the display panel; and

a pad structure disposed between the display panel and the external frame, a panel-absorbing portion being formed on a surface of the pad structure facing the display panel for absorbing the display panel so as to fix the pad structure on the display panel.

2. The display module of claim 1, wherein an extended part is formed at a side of the pad structure, a slot structure is formed on the external frame corresponding to the extended part, and the extended part is used for engaging with the slot structure so as to fix the pad structure on the external frame.

3. The display module of claim 1, wherein the pad structure is a ring-shaped pad disposed around the external frame.

4. The display module of claim 1, wherein the pad structure comprises a plurality of pads, and the plurality of pads is discontinuously disposed around the external frame.

5. The display module of claim 4, wherein an extended part is formed at a side of each pad respectively, a slot structure is formed on the external frame corresponding to the extended part, and each extended part is used for engaging with the corresponding slot structure so as to fix the corresponding pad on the external frame.

6. The display module of claim 1, wherein the panel-absorbing portion is a circular recessed structure.

7. The display module of claim 1, wherein a frame-absorbing portion is formed on a surface of the pad structure facing the external frame, and the frame-absorbing portion is used for absorbing the external frame so as to fix the pad structure on the external frame.

8. The display module of claim 7, wherein the frame-absorbing portion is a circular recessed structure.

9. The display module of claim 1, wherein the pad structure is made of flexible material.

10. The display module of claim 9, wherein the pad structure is made of silicone rubber material.

11. A display module comprising:

a display panel;

an external frame disposed at a side of the display panel; and

a pad structure disposed between the display panel and the external frame, a frame-absorbing portion being formed on a surface of the pad structure facing the external frame for absorbing the external frame so as to fix the pad structure on the external frame.

12. The display module of claim 11, wherein an extended part is formed at a side of the pad structure, a slot structure is formed on the external frame corresponding to the extended part, and the extended part is used for engaging with the slot structure so as to fix the pad structure on the external frame.

13. The display module of claim 11, wherein the pad structure is a ring-shaped pad disposed around the external frame.

14. The display module of claim 11, wherein the pad structure comprises a plurality of pads, and the plurality of pads is discontinuously disposed around the external frame.

15. The display module of claim 14, wherein an extended part is formed at a side of each pad respectively, a slot structure is formed on the external frame corresponding to the extended part, and each extended part is used for engaging with the corresponding slot structure so as to fix the corresponding pad on the external frame.

16. The display module of claim 11, wherein the frame-absorbing portion is a circular recessed structure.

17. The display module of claim 11, wherein a panel-absorbing portion is formed on a surface of the pad structure facing the display panel, and the panel-absorbing portion is used for absorbing the display panel so as to fix the pad structure on the display panel.

18. The display module of claim 17, wherein the panel-absorbing portion is a circular recessed structure.

19. The display module of claim 11, wherein the pad structure is made of flexible material.

20. The display module of claim 19, wherein the pad structure is made of silicone rubber material.
