The third surface171of the covering member170is closely attached to the second optical film153B of the display module150. In the first embodiment, the covering member170is assembled with the outer frame110, and the third surface171is closely attached to the second optical film153B of the display module150, so that no gaps are formed between the covering member170and the second optical film153B of the display module150. The detail assembly structure of the covering member170and the outer frame110will be described in the following paragraphs. An extension portion173of the covering member170extends from the fourth surface172toward a direction away from the third surface171, and the extension portion173is coplanar with the outer side surface111of the outer frame110. As shown inFIG.2, the extension portion173extends from the fourth surface172toward the light emitting direction A of the display module150, and the extension portion173is approximately flushed with the outer side surface111of the outer frame110. In other words, in this embodiment, an extension surface1730of the extension portion173and the outer side surface111of the outer frame are arranged on the same plane, so that the extension surface1730and the outer side surface111are coplanar with each other.

Specifically, in the display100of this embodiment, the extension portion173of the covering member170extends from the fourth surface172toward the direction away from the third surface171, and the extension portion173and the outer side surface111of the outer frame110are coplanar with each other, so that no stepped structures are formed between the extension portion173of the covering member170and the outer frame110, and a flat surface can be formed. Moreover, the third surface171of the covering member170is closely attached to the second optical film153B of the display module150, so that no gaps are formed between the covering member170and the second optical film153B of the display module150. Therefore, the touch sensitivity of the display can be improved and the overall thickness of the display can be reduced.

Please refer toFIG.3AandFIG.3B.FIG.3Aillustrates a partial cross-sectional view (1) of the display of the first embodiment display, where the covering member is of another implementation.FIG.3Billustrates a partial cross-sectional view (2) of the display of the first embodiment display, where the covering member is of yet another implementation. In some embodiments, a shape of a cross-sectional area of an end portion of the extension portion173adjacent to the outer frame110is a right angle, an inclined angle, or a round corner. Specifically, in some embodiments, the extension portion173extends from the fourth surface172of the covering member170, and the cross-sectional areas of the two end portions of the extension portion173adjacent to the outer frame110along the extension direction have a shape, and one of the end portions of the extension portion173is described for illustrative purposes.

As shown inFIG.3B, in yet another implementation of the first embodiment, the shape of the cross-sectional area of the end portion1731of the extension portion173is a round corner. In other words, in some embodiments, the shape of the cross-sectional area of the end portion1731of the extension portion173may be for example a right angle, so that the covering member170has a flat plane, and the display100can have an integrated appearance. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the shape of the cross-sectional area of the end portion1731of the extension portion173may be an inclined angle or a round corner, so that the peripheral portion of the display100can provide a better field of view. Moreover, the round corner configuration allows the peripheral portion of the display100to provide a curved surface effect to enhance the aesthetic feelings of the display100. Moreover, the inclined angle configuration allows the viewing angle of the display100to be increased owing to the inclined-angle projection. However, it is understood that, the shape of the cross-sectional area of the end portion1731of the extension portion173is not limited thereto. The cross-sectional area of the end portion1731of the extension portion173may be of other shapes.
