Waterproof structure for use in display device

Abstract

A waterproof structure for use in display device includes a back cover (100), a display module (200) and a waterproof member (300). The back cover (100) includes a peripheral part of back cover (110), a stop part (120) connected to the peripheral part of back cover (110), and a groove (130) defined between the peripheral part of back cover (110) and the stop part (120), wherein the height of the peripheral part of back cover (110) is greater than the height of the stop part (120). The display module (200) is disposed on the back cover (100). The waterproof member (300) is disposed between the display module (200) and the stop part (120). Accordingly, the speed of moisture permeating into the display device can be buffered so as to prolong the service life.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a waterproof structure, especially to a waterproof structure for use in display device.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]With the development of technology, an electronic device having a screen is commonly used in our daily lives for the purpose of transmitting data at work, exchanging messages or even providing entertainments. A general electronic device, such as a portable device, a smart phone, a tablet computer or even an industrial computer, has become a media widely used by consumers. Also, some consumers heavily rely on these electronic devices, for example thinking about various issues or taking a drink in front of a computer, watching TV in a bathroom, bringing the electronic device while going out, or even operating a computer in a severe environment.[0005]For these precision display devices, moisture may permeate into the electronic device because of poor production or ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The present invention is to provide a waterproof structure for use in display device capable of effectively buffering the speed of moisture permeating into the display device so as to prolong the service life.

[0009]The present invention is to provide a waterproof structure for use in display device capable of effectively discharging water thereby preventing the water from being remained in the display device so as to ensure the smooth operation of internal components.

[0013]In comparison with related art, the present invention has advantageous features as follows. Through each of the partition pieces being connected to the peripheral part of back cover and the stop part, the danger of water or moisture permeating into the display module can be further relieved, so the display module is able to be prevented from being damaged or abnormally operated, and an advantage of convenient in production can also be provided. In other words, the installation of the partition pieces can solve the problem of the stop part generating stress concentration due to the smaller dimension, and the groove between the peripheral part of back cover and the stop part is also provided with an advantage of allowing a mold to be easily released. Moreover, for increasing the production efficiency and enhancing the positioning effect, the present invention further includes a supporter. The supporter installed corresponding to the back cover is formed with at least one semi-circular positioning post allowing at least one positioning hole formed on the back cover to be assembled and positioned.

Problems solved by technology

For these precision display devices, moisture may permeate into the electronic device because of poor production or improper operation by consumers.

However, the right-angle connecting locations defined between the waterproof strips are unable to be tightly engaged, and a gap is very easily to be formed at the right-angle connecting locations, so a poor waterproof performance is caused and moisture is allowed to easily permeate.

In addition, after the waterproof strip being used for a period of time, the waterproof strip would be deteriorated and fatigued, so the tight adhesion is no longer provided between the waterproof strip and the front frame or between the waterproof strip and the panel, and a situation of water or moisture permeating would occur which may cause short circuit, malfunction or loose contact in the electronic device.

For improving the existed problems, some skilled people in the art provide a design of installing waterproof structures (not limited to the above-mentioned waterproof strip) at proper locations of the display device; however, the installation of each additional waterproof structure would result in more complicated in production, increasing the production cost and hard to simplify the production procedure for satisfying massive production.
