  • Patent number: 9503672
    Abstract: A display module having strengthened structure is provided. The display module includes a display panel and a transparent cover. The display panel has a display face and includes a circuit area. The circuit area is disposed close to a first side of the display panel. The transparent cover is attached to the display face and has a first edge corresponding to the first side, wherein the first edge extends beyond the first side. The transparent cover comprises a first recessed area, and the first recessed area shrinks from the first edge toward a center of the transparent cover. An edge of the first recessed area retreats behind the first side and exposes the circuit area.
