With reference to
In the tray according to the present disclosure, the display panel may be placed in the second groove 2, and then the elastic backing plate may be placed in the first groove 1. Because the second groove 2 is defined within the bottom edge of the first groove 1, and the shape of the first groove 1 matches the contour shape of the elastic backing plate, the edge of the bottom surface of the elastic backing plate may be supported by the step 11 between the first groove 1 and the second groove 2. The inner wall of the first groove 1 may prevent the elastic backing plate from shaking horizontally relative to the first groove 1 during shaking of the whole tray, and the edge of the bottom surface of the elastic backing plate is always located on the step 11, thus the friction between the edge of the elastic backing plate and the display panel in the second groove 2 may be avoided, thereby the possibility of the shielding layer peeling off from the display panel may be reduced.
In the above-described embodiment, the first groove 1 may be of a square shape, a circular shape; a triangular shape or any other shape, the shape of the first groove 1 is not limited.
The second groove 2 may be of a square shape, a circular shape, a triangular shape or any other shape, the shape of the second groove 2 is not limited.
The embodiment as shown in
There are spaces between the adjacent protrusions 3, and the air may enter into the spaces, thereby the atmospheric pressures acting on both the upper and lower surfaces of the display panel may be approximately equal. Since there is no atmospheric resistance acting on the display panel, the difficulty of removing the display panel from the second groove 2 will be decreased.
In one embodiment, the protrusion 3 may be of a square shape, a triangular prism shape; a cylinder shape or any other shape, and the shape of the protrusion 3 is not limited.
Besides, the number of the protrusion 3 is 2, 3, or 4 and so on, it is not limited.
In the embodiment shown in
Specifically, the protrusions 3 may be made from EPE (Expandable Polyethylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), or the protrusions 3 may be made from other antistatic material, and it is not limited.
In the embodiment shown in
In the embodiment shown in
In order to carry the tray easily by hand, for example, as shown in
In order to reduce the weight of the tray for easy transport, for example, the tray is made from plastic material, which has a light weight compared to metal, thereby reducing the overall weight of the tray and facilitating transportation of the tray packed with the display panel.
In order to improve the forming efficiency of the tray, for example, the tray may be formed by injection molding. The injection molding process is simple, and the production time is short, which helps to improve the forming efficiency of the tray.
In particular, the tray may be made from PET. The PET is a commonly used material, and easy to produce.
In order to avoid the effect of static electricity on the display panel, for example, the resistance value of the tray is in the range of 106˜1011. When the resistance value of the tray is in this range, the insulation performance and electrical conductivity of the tray are both reasonable. That is, the static electricity generated by the friction between the tray and the display panel may be conducted outward the tray, and the tray can have a certain insulation property from static electricity outside the tray, to prevent static electricity outside the tray from affecting the display panel.
With reference to
Since the tray 100 used in the packaging device for a display panel is the same as the above described tray in embodiments of the present disclosure, thereby both of the tray and the packaging device for display panel can solve the same technical problems, and achieve the same technical effects.
Wherein, the elastic backing plate 200 may be made from rubber, sponge or foam, etc., and it is not limited.
In particular, the elastic backing plate 200 may be made from EPE, EPE is a commonly used material for packing electronic device, and easy to produce.
In order to avoid the effect of static electricity on the display panel 300, for example, The resistance value of the elastic backing plate 200 is in the range of 106˜1011. When the resistance value of the elastic backing plate 200 is in this range, the insulation performance and electrical conductivity of the elastic backing plate 200 are both reasonable. That is, the static electricity generated by the friction between the elastic backing plate 200 and display panel 300 may be conducted outside the tray 100, and the insulation of the tray 100 can have a certain insulation property from static electricity outside the tray 100, to prevent static electricity outside the tray 100 from affecting the display panel 300.
The tray and the packaging device for a display panel of the present disclosure, the display panel may be placed in the second groove, the elastic backing plate may be placed in the first groove. Because the second groove is defined within the bottom edge of the first groove, and a step is formed between the first groove and the second groove, and the shape of the first groove matches the contour shape of the elastic backing plate, the edge of the bottom surface of the elastic backing plate may be supported on the step between the first groove and the second groove. During shacking of the tray, the inside wall of the first groove may prevent the elastic backing plate from shacking relative to the first groove, and the edge of the bottom of the elastic backing plate may always be supported on the step, avoiding the friction between the edge of the elastic backing plate and the display panel in the second groove, therefore the possibility that the shielding layer falls off from the display panel decreases.
In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
The above described embodiments are only the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Within the technical scope disclosed in this disclosure, any variation or substitution easily anticipated by those skilled in the art are intended to be within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
