Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display device. Background Technology

[0002] To save on manufacturing and assembly costs, some displays omit the mid-frame, directly using the main housing to hold the display components together. With this configuration, to prevent the display components from detaching from the main housing due to deformation, the thickness of the main housing needs to be increased to provide sufficient structural rigidity. However, this makes the main housing more difficult to deform, increasing the difficulty of disassembling the display components, and the disassembly process can easily cause the display panel to crack.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of display device to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a display device whose display components are easy to disassemble and which can prevent the display panel from breaking during disassembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a display device comprising: a main housing having a hook, a limiting post, and a limiting block, the limiting block being adjacent to the limiting post; and a display assembly comprising: a frame having a side wall, the hook being located behind the side wall and engaging with the frame in a front-rear direction of the display device, the limiting post passing through the display assembly in the front-rear direction, and the limiting block abutting against the display assembly in the front-rear direction; and a display panel disposed within the frame, wherein the side wall surrounds the periphery of the display panel; wherein the limiting post passing through the display assembly in the front-rear direction, and the limiting block abutting against the display assembly in the front-rear direction.

[0006] Preferably, the frame has a locking portion located behind the side wall in the front-rear direction and locking into the hook; the hook is located outside the locking portion.

[0007] Preferably, the hook has a first outer surface, the sidewall has a second outer surface, and the first and second outer surfaces extend along the front-rear direction and are flush with each other.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the hook abuts against the side wall.

[0009] Preferably, the hook has a notch at the end, which is adjacent to the sidewall.

[0010] Preferably, the main housing includes a rear housing portion and a side housing portion, the rear housing portion shielding the back of the display assembly, the side housing portion extending from the periphery of the rear housing portion toward the side wall, and the hook being formed in the side housing portion.

[0011] Preferably, the display assembly includes a back plate connected to the frame and located between the frame and the main housing, the back plate having a limiting hole, a limiting post passing through the limiting hole in the front-rear direction, and a limiting block abutting against the back plate in the front-rear direction.

[0012] In addition, the present invention provides another display device, the display device comprising: a main housing having a hook; and a display assembly having a limiting protrusion, wherein the limiting protrusion extends into the main housing in the front-rear direction of the display device, the display assembly comprising: a frame having a side wall, wherein the hook is located behind the side wall and engages with the frame in the front-rear direction; and a display panel disposed in the frame, the side wall surrounding the periphery of the display panel, the limiting protrusion not overlapping the display area of ​​the display panel in the front-rear direction.

[0013] Preferably, the frame has a locking portion located behind the side wall in the front-rear direction and locking into the hook; the hook is located outside the locking portion.

[0014] Preferably, the hook has a first outer surface, the sidewall has a second outer surface, and the first and second outer surfaces extend along the front-rear direction and are flush with each other.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the hook abuts against the side wall.

[0016] Preferably, the hook has a notch at the end, which is adjacent to the sidewall.

[0017] Preferably, the main housing includes a rear housing portion and a side housing portion, the rear housing portion shielding the back of the display assembly, the side housing portion extending from the periphery of the rear housing portion toward the side wall, and the hook being formed in the side housing portion.

[0018] Preferably, the main housing has a limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion extends into the limiting groove along the front-rear direction.

[0019] Preferably, the main housing has a limiting block, the limiting groove is formed in the limiting block, and the limiting block abuts against the display component in the front-rear direction.

[0020] Preferably, the display assembly includes a back plate connected to the frame and located between the frame and the main housing, and the limiting protrusion is formed on the back plate.

[0021] Compared to existing technologies, the display device provided by this invention adds a sidewall surrounding the display panel to the frame of the display component, and the latch of the main housing is located behind the sidewall and not adjacent to the display panel. Therefore, when a user applies force to the latch with a disassembly tool to detach it from the display component, the disassembly tool acts on the area between the latch of the main housing and the sidewall of the frame without contacting the display panel, thus preventing the display panel from breaking due to the disassembly tool. Furthermore, the main housing can be mutually restrained by its adjacent limiting posts and blocks, or the display component can be mutually restrained by its limiting protrusions adjacent to the latch. This increases the rigidity of the overall structure, preventing the display component from detaching from the main housing due to deformation, thus eliminating the need to design the main housing with a large thickness to increase its rigidity.

[0029] Certain terms are used in the specification and claims to refer to specific elements. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that manufacturers may use different names to refer to the same element. This specification and claims do not distinguish elements by differences in name, but rather by differences in function. The term "comprising" throughout the specification and claims is an open-ended term and should be interpreted as "comprising but not limited to".

[0030] Figure 1This is a perspective view of some components of the display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 1 The display device 100 of this embodiment includes a main housing 110 and a display assembly 120. The main housing 110 includes a rear shell portion 110a and a side shell portion 110b connected together, with the rear shell portion 110a covering the back side of the display assembly 120. The display assembly 120 includes a frame 122, a display panel 124, and a back plate 126. The frame 122 is, for example, a plastic frame, the display panel 124 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel and is disposed within the frame 122, and the back plate 126 is connected to the frame 122 by snap-fit ​​or other suitable means and is located between the frame 122 and the main housing 110. The display panel 124 has a display surface 1241, the front-rear direction D of the display device 100 is perpendicular to the display surface 1241, and the display surface 1241 faces the front of the display device 100 in the front-rear direction D.

[0031] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the display device. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A partial cross-sectional view of the display device. Please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the main housing 110 has a hook 112, a limiting post 114, and a limiting block 116, with the limiting block 116 adjacent to the limiting post 114. The frame 122 has a side wall 1221 and a locking portion 1222, the locking portion 1222 being, for example, a locking groove 120a of the frame 122 (marked in...). Figure 3 The inner wall of the display panel 124. The side shell portion 110b of the main housing 110 extends from the periphery of the rear shell portion 110a to the side wall 1221 of the frame 122. The hook 112 is formed in the side shell portion 110b. The side wall 1221 surrounds the periphery of the display panel 124. The engaging portion 1222 of the frame 122 and the hook 112 of the main housing 110 are located behind the side wall 1221 in the front-rear direction D of the display device 100. The hook 112 extends into the engaging groove 120a and engages with the engaging portion 1222. The back plate 126 of the display assembly 120 has a limiting hole 1261. The limiting post 114 of the main housing 110 passes through the limiting hole 1261 of the back plate 126 in the front-rear direction D, and the limiting block 116 of the main housing 110 abuts against the back plate 126 of the display assembly 120 in the front-rear direction D.

[0032] As described above, in this embodiment, the frame 122 of the display assembly 120 is provided with a side wall 1221 surrounding the display panel 124, and the latch 112 of the main housing 110 is located behind the side wall 1221 and not adjacent to the display panel 124. Therefore, when a user applies force to the latch 112 with a disassembly tool to detach the latch 112 from the display assembly 120, the disassembly tool acts on the position between the latch 112 of the main housing 110 and the side wall 1221 of the frame 122 without contacting the display panel 124, thus preventing the display panel 124 from breaking due to the action of the disassembly tool. Furthermore, the main housing 110 can be mutually positioned with the display assembly 120 by its adjacent limiting posts 114 and limiting blocks 116. This increases the rigidity of the overall structure, preventing the display assembly 120 from detaching from the main housing 110 due to deformation, thus eliminating the need to design the main housing 110 with a larger thickness to increase its rigidity. Furthermore, by forming the hook 112 on the main housing 110 instead of the frame 122 as described above, the width of the frame 122 can be reduced, which is beneficial for the narrow bezel design of the display device 100.

[0033] In this embodiment, the hook 112 is located outside the engaging portion 1222 and has a first appearance surface S1, while the side wall 1221 of the frame 122 has a second appearance surface S2. The first appearance surface S1 and the second appearance surface S2 extend along the front-rear direction D of the display device 100 and are flush with each other, so that the side of the display device 100 has a better appearance.

[0034] In this embodiment, the end 112a of the hook 112 of the main housing 110 abuts against the side wall 1221 and can be securely engaged with the engaging portion 1221 of the frame 122. Furthermore, the hook 112 has a notch N at its end 112a, which is adjacent to the side wall 1221, facilitating the application of force between the hook 112 and the side wall 1221 by disassembly tools. The notch N also provides an aesthetically pleasing effect at the junction of the hook 112 and the side wall 1221. In this embodiment, a small gap may exist between the engaging portion 1221 of the frame 122 and the hook 112 to provide the space required for the hook 112 to deform and disengage from the engaging portion 1221.

Figure 4The display device 200 of this embodiment includes a main housing 210 and a display assembly 220. The main housing 210 includes a rear shell portion 210a and a side shell portion 210b connected together, with the rear shell portion 210a covering the back side of the display assembly 220. The display assembly 220 includes a frame 222, a display panel 224, and a back plate 226. The frame 222 is, for example, a plastic frame, the display panel 224 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel and is disposed within the frame 222, and the back plate 226 is connected to the frame 222 by snap-fit ​​or other suitable means and is located between the frame 222 and the main housing 210. The display panel 224 has a display surface 2241, and the front-rear direction D of the display device 200 is perpendicular to the display surface 2241, with the display surface 2241 facing the front of the display device 200 in the front-rear direction D.

[0036] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A partial enlarged view of the display device. Figure 6 yes Figure 4 A partial cross-sectional view of the display device. Please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the main housing 210 has a hook 212. The frame 222 has a side wall 2221 and a locking part 2222, the locking part 2222 being, for example, a locking groove 220a of the frame 222 (marked in...). Figure 6 The inner wall of the main housing 210. The side shell portion 210b of the main housing 210 extends from the periphery of the rear shell portion 210a to the side wall 2221 of the frame 222. The hook 212 is formed in the side shell portion 210b. The side wall 2221 surrounds the periphery of the display panel 224. The engaging portion 2222 of the frame 222 and the hook 212 of the main housing 210 are located behind the side wall 2221 in the front-rear direction D of the display device 200. The hook 212 extends into the engaging groove 220a and engages with the engaging portion 2222. The back plate 226 of the display assembly 220 has a limiting protrusion 221. The limiting protrusion 221 does not overlap with the display area AA (marked in) of the display panel 224 in the front-rear direction D of the display device 200. Figure 6 The limiting protrusion 221 is positioned so that it is closer to the latch 212, wherein the display area AA is, for example, the active area of ​​the display panel 224. The rear shell portion 210a of the main housing 110 has a limiting groove 211. The limiting protrusion 221 of the display assembly 220 extends into the limiting groove 211 of the main housing 110 along the front-rear direction D of the display device 200.

[0037] As described above, in this embodiment, the frame 222 of the display assembly 220 is provided with a sidewall 1221 surrounding the display panel 224, and the latch 212 of the main housing 210 is located behind the sidewall 2221 and not adjacent to the display panel 224. Therefore, when a user applies force to the latch 212 with a disassembly tool to detach the latch 212 from the display assembly 220, the disassembly tool acts on the position between the latch 212 of the main housing 210 and the sidewall 2221 of the frame 222 without contacting the display panel 224, thus preventing the display panel 224 from breaking due to the action of the disassembly tool. Furthermore, the display assembly 220 can be mutually restrained with the main housing 210 by the limiting protrusion 221 adjacent to the latch 212. This increases the rigidity of the overall structure, preventing the display assembly 220 from detaching from the main housing 210 due to deformation, thus eliminating the need to design the main housing 210 with a larger thickness to increase its rigidity. Furthermore, by forming the hook 212 on the main housing 210 instead of the frame 222 as described above, the width of the frame 222 can be reduced, which is beneficial for the narrow bezel design of the display device 200.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main housing 210 further includes a limiting block 216, and a limiting groove 211 is formed in the limiting block 216. The limiting block 216 abuts against the back plate 226 of the display assembly 220 in the front-rear direction D to further increase the rigidity of the overall structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the hook 212 is located outside the engaging portion 2222 and has a first appearance surface S1', and the side wall 2221 of the frame 222 has a second appearance surface S2'. The first appearance surface S1' and the second appearance surface S2' extend along the front-rear direction D of the display device 200 and are flush with each other, so that the side of the display device 200 has a better appearance.

[0040] In this embodiment, the end 212a of the hook 212 of the main housing 210 abuts against the side wall 2221 and can be securely engaged with the engaging portion 2221 of the frame 222. Furthermore, the hook 212 has a notch N' at its end 212a, which is adjacent to the side wall 2221, facilitating the application of force between the hook 212 and the side wall 2221 by a disassembly tool. The notch N' also provides an aesthetically pleasing effect at the junction of the hook 212 and the side wall 2221. In this embodiment, a small gap may exist between the engaging portion 2221 of the frame 222 and the hook 212 to provide the space required for the hook 212 to deform and disengage from the engaging portion 2221.

[0041] In summary, in the display device of the present invention, the frame of the display component is provided with a side wall surrounding the display panel, and the latch of the main housing is located behind the side wall and not adjacent to the display panel. Therefore, when a user applies force to the latch with a disassembly tool to detach it from the display component, the disassembly tool acts on the area between the latch of the main housing and the side wall of the frame without contacting the display panel, thus preventing the display panel from breaking due to the disassembly tool. Furthermore, the main housing can be mutually restrained by its adjacent limiting posts and limiting blocks, or the display component can be mutually restrained by its limiting protrusion adjacent to the latch. This increases the rigidity of the overall structure, preventing the display component from detaching from the main housing due to deformation, thus eliminating the need to design the main housing with a large thickness to increase its rigidity.
