Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a display device casing which can stably place a display device having a large screen while protecting its appearance. Background Art

[0002] With the development of information society, the demand for display devices has also increased in various forms. Correspondingly, in recent years, display devices include liquid crystal display devices (LCD), field emission display devices (FED), plasma display panels (PDP), and electroluminescence devices (Electroluminescence Device).

[0003] Furthermore, recently, displays have been increasing in size, and the functions of display devices have become increasingly diverse.

[0004] For example, in the case of a tablet, it has the functions of data and voice communication, taking pictures and videos through a camera, recording audio, playing music files through a speaker system, and outputting images or videos on a display. In addition, the tablet can also add electronic game functions or perform multimedia player functions.

[0005] As the functions of display devices diversify, the time spent using the display devices will increase. Users may feel tired holding the display device for a long time, or may need to place the display device upright without holding it in order to enjoy the images output from the display device while doing other things.

[0006] Moreover, for this purpose, a housing for placing a display device is being introduced. Such a conventional housing is constructed in a manner of assembly and disassembly using magnets. For example, a manner of using the magnetic force between a magnet located on one side of the side housing and a magnet located on one side of a foldable cover. Thus, the user can improve the convenience of carrying and easily place the display device.

[0007] However, as mentioned above, since the display is becoming larger, the simple assembly and disassembly method of the existing housing using magnets has a limitation in adhesion. This is because as the display device becomes larger, the size of the housing should also increase, and thus the weight of the housing will also increase.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to properly support the weight of the display device, the adhesion of the housing needs to be ensured. Otherwise, the housing may not be able to support the weight of the display device and become disjointed, thereby causing damage to the display device.

[0009] Therefore, in order to protect the appearance of a large-screen display device while stably placing it, a means for ensuring the adhesion of the casing is required. Summary of the invention

[0010] Problem that the invention aims to solve

[0011] The present invention aims to provide a display device housing, and more particularly, to provide a display device housing having a structure in which an insertion portion formed at one end of a foldable cover is inserted into a fastening groove formed in a side cover to improve the adhesion of the foldable cover.

[0012] Another object is to provide a display device housing that minimizes the gap between magnets used to fasten a foldable cover and expands the area for forming a magnetic force, thereby improving the adhesion of the foldable cover.

[0013] Another object is to provide a display device housing that can block foreign matter that may flow in through a fastening groove after a foldable cover is fastened, by means of a fixing rib formed to protrude from the front side of a rear cover.

[0014] The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by persons having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs from the following description.

[0048] Hereinafter, the embodiments disclosed in this specification are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and regardless of the figure numbers, the same or similar constituent elements are given the same figure numbers and their repeated descriptions are omitted. The suffixes "module" and "unit" used in the following description for the constituent elements are only given or mixed for the convenience of writing the specification, and they themselves do not have meanings or functions that distinguish each other. In addition, when describing the embodiments disclosed in this specification, if it is determined that the specific description of the relevant known technology may confuse the main purpose of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, its detailed description will be omitted. In addition, the drawings are only used to help understand the embodiments disclosed in this specification, and the technical ideas disclosed in this specification are not limited by the drawings, and should be understood as all changes, equivalents and substitutes included in the ideas and technical scope of this specification.

[0049] Terms including ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" may be used to describe various components, but the components are not limited to the terms. The terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from other components.

[0050] When a certain component is mentioned as being “connected” or “linked” to another component, it should be understood that it may be directly connected or linked to the other component, but there may also be other components between them. Conversely, if a certain component is mentioned as being “directly connected” or “directly linked” to another component, it should be understood that there are no other components between them.

[0051] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, an expression in the singular includes an expression in the plural.

[0052] In the present application, terms such as "including" or "having" are only used to specify the existence of features, numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, parts or their combinations recorded in the specification, and are not intended to exclude the possibility of the existence or addition of one or more other features or numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, parts or their combinations.

[0053] On the other hand, the display device described in this specification is, for example, an intelligent display device that adds a computer support function to a broadcast receiving function, and adds an Internet function while being faithful to the broadcast receiving function, and can have a more user-friendly interface such as a handwriting input device, a touch screen or a space remote controller. Moreover, with the support of a wired or wireless Internet function, it can be connected to the Internet and a computer to perform functions such as e-mail, web browsing, banking or games. For these diverse functions, a standardized general-purpose OS (Operating System) can be used.

[0054] Therefore, the display device described in the present invention can freely add or delete various applications in, for example, a general OS kernel, so that user-friendly and diverse functions can be performed. More specifically, the display device can be, for example, a network TV, HBBTV (Hybrid Broadcast / Broadband TV), smart TV, etc., and can also be applied to smartphones in some cases.

[0055] Figure 1 1 is a block diagram for explaining each component of the display device 100. The display device 100 may include a broadcast receiving unit 110, an external device interface unit 171, a network interface unit 172, a storage unit 140, a user input interface unit 173, an input unit 130, a control unit 180, a display module 150, an audio output unit 160, and / or a power supply unit 190.

[0056] The broadcast receiving section 110 may include a tuner section 111 and a demodulator section 112 .

[0057] On the other hand, unlike the drawings, the display device 100 may include only the broadcast receiving unit 110, the external device interface unit 171, and the network interface unit 172. That is, the display device 100 may not include the broadcast receiving unit 110.

[0058] The tuner unit 111 can select a channel selected by a user or a broadcast signal corresponding to all stored channels from broadcast signals received via an antenna (not shown) or a cable (not shown). The tuner unit 111 can convert the selected broadcast signal into an intermediate frequency signal or a baseband image or voice signal.

[0059] For example, if the selected broadcast signal is a digital broadcast signal, the tuner unit 111 converts it into a digital IF signal (DIF), and if it is an analog broadcast signal, it can be converted into an analog baseband image or voice signal (Composite synchronous video broadcast signal (CVBS) / sound intermediate frequency (SIF)). That is, the tuner unit 111 can process digital broadcast signals or analog broadcast signals. The analog baseband image or voice signal (CVBS / SIF) output from the tuner unit 111 can be directly input to the control unit 180.

[0060] On the other hand, the tuner unit 111 can sequentially select broadcast signals of all broadcast channels stored by the channel memory function from among the received broadcast signals, and convert the broadcast signals into intermediate frequency signals or baseband video or audio signals.

[0061] On the other hand, the tuner unit 111 may include a plurality of tuners in order to receive broadcast signals of a plurality of channels, or may be a single tuner that simultaneously receives broadcast signals of a plurality of channels.

[0062] The demodulator unit 112 may receive the digital IF signal (DIF) converted in the tuner unit 111 and perform demodulation. The demodulator unit 112 may output a stream signal (TS) after performing demodulation and channel decoding. At this time, the stream signal may be a signal multiplexed with an image signal, a voice signal, or a data signal.

[0063] The stream signal outputted from the demodulator unit 112 may be inputted to the control unit 180. The control unit 180 may output the image through the display module 150 and output the audio through the audio output unit 160 after performing demultiplexing, image / audio signal processing, and the like.

[0064] The detection unit 120 refers to a device for detecting changes in the display device 100 or detecting changes outside. For example, it may include at least one of a proximity sensor, an illumination sensor, a touch sensor, an infrared sensor (IR sensor: infrared sensor), an ultrasonic sensor, an optical sensor (optical sensor, such as a camera), a voice sensor (such as a microphone), a battery gauge, and an environmental sensor (such as a hygrometer, a thermometer, etc.).

[0065] The control unit 180 may check the status of the display device 100 based on the information collected from the detection unit 120 , and notify the user of a problem or make adjustments by itself when a problem occurs, thereby maintaining the display device 100 in an optimal state.

[0066] In addition, the content, picture quality, size, etc. of the image provided to the display module 150 can be controlled differently according to the illumination of the viewer or the surroundings detected by the detection unit 120, so as to provide an optimal audio-visual environment. With the advancement of smart TVs, the functions installed in the display device 100 have increased, and the number of detection units 120 has also increased accordingly.

[0067] The input unit 130 may be provided at one side of the main body of the display device 100. For example, the input unit 130 may include a touch pad, a physical button, etc. The input unit 130 may receive various user instructions related to the operation of the display device 100, and may send a control signal corresponding to the input instruction to the control unit 180.

[0068] Recently, as the size of the bezel of the display device 100 becomes smaller, the display device 100 in which the input unit 130 in the form of a button that is physically exposed to the outside is minimized is increasing. Instead, the smallest physical button is located on the back or side, and the user input can be received through the remote control device 200 via a touch panel or a user input interface unit 173 described later.

[0069] The storage unit 140 may store programs for processing and controlling various signals in the control unit 180, and may also store image, voice or data signals processed by the signals. For example, the storage unit 140 stores application programs designed for executing various operations that can be processed by the control unit 180, and may selectively provide a part of the stored application programs when requested by the control unit 180.

[0070] The programs stored in the storage unit 140 are not particularly limited as long as they are executable by the control unit 180. The storage unit 140 may also perform a function for temporarily storing an image, voice, or data signal received from an external device through the external device interface unit 171. The storage unit 140 may store information on a predetermined broadcast channel through a channel memory function such as a channel map.

[0071] Although Figure 1 Although the embodiment in which the storage unit 140 and the control unit 180 are provided separately is shown, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the storage unit 140 may be included in the control unit 180 .

[0072] The storage unit 140 may include at least one of a volatile memory (such as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory), SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random-access memory), etc.) or a non-volatile memory (such as a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid-state drive (SSD), etc.).

[0073] The display module 150 may generate a driving signal by converting an image signal, a data signal, an OSD signal, a control signal, etc. processed in the control part 180 or an image signal, a data signal, a control signal, etc. received from the interface part 171 .

[0074] The display module 150 can realize flexible display, etc., and can also realize 3D display. The 3D display module 150 can be divided into a naked-eye type and a glasses type.

[0075] The display device 100 may include a display module 150 occupying most of the area of ​​the front side and a housing covering the back side and side surfaces of the display module 150 and encapsulating the display module 150 .

[0077] The display module 150 may refer to the side where the image is displayed as the front side or the front side. When the display module 150 displays an image, the side where the image cannot be observed may be referred to as the rear side or the back side. On the other hand, the display module 150 is composed of a touch screen and may be used as an input device in addition to an output device.

[0078] The audio output unit 160 receives the signal voice-processed in the control unit 180 and outputs the voice.

[0079] The interface unit 170 functions as a channel for various types of external devices connected to the display device 100. The interface unit may include not only a wired method for transmitting and receiving data through a cable but also a wireless method using an antenna.

[0080] The interface portion 170 may include at least one of a wired / wireless headset port, an external charger port, a wired / wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device provided with an identification module, an audio input / output (I / O) port, a video input / output (I / O) port, and a headphone port.

[0081] As an example of a wireless method, the aforementioned broadcast receiving unit 110 may be included, which may include not only broadcast signals but also mobile communication signals, short-range communication signals, wireless Internet signals, and the like.

[0082] The external device interface unit 171 may transmit or receive data with a connected external device. To this end, the external device interface unit 171 may include an A / V input and output unit (not shown).

[0083] The external device interface unit 171 can be connected to external devices such as DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), Blu-ray, game equipment, camera, camcorder, computer (laptop), set-top box, etc. via wired / wireless connection, and can also perform input and output operations with the external devices.

[0084] In addition, the external device interface unit 171 can establish a communication network with various remote control devices 200 , and can receive control signals related to the operation of the display device 100 from the remote control device 200 , or transmit data related to the operation of the display device 100 to the remote control device 200 .

[0085] The external device interface unit 171 may include a wireless communication unit (not shown) for short-range wireless communication with other electronic devices. Through such a wireless communication unit (not shown), the external device interface unit 171 can exchange data with an adjacent mobile terminal. In particular, the external device interface unit 171 can receive device information, executed application information, application images, etc. from the mobile terminal in the mirroring mode.

[0086] The network interface unit 172 may provide an interface for connecting the display device 100 to a wired / wireless network including the Internet. For example, the network interface unit 172 may receive content or data provided by the Internet or a content provider or a network operator through a network. On the other hand, the network interface unit 172 may include a communication module (not shown) for connecting to a wired / wireless network.

[0087] The external device interface unit 171 and / or the network interface unit 172 may include Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, communication modules for short-range communications such as NFC (Near Field Communication), LTE (long-term evolution), LTE-A (LTE Advance), CDMA (code division multiple access), WCDMA (wideband CDMA), UMTS (universal mobile telecommunications system), WiBro (Wireless Broadband) and other communication modules for cellular communications, etc.

[0088] The user input interface unit 173 can transmit a signal input by the user to the control unit 180, or transmit a signal from the control unit 180 to the user. For example, it can transmit / receive a user input signal such as power on / off, channel selection, screen setting, etc. from the remote control device 200, or transmit a user input signal input from a local key (not shown) such as a power key, a channel key, a volume key, and a setting value to the control unit 180, or transmit a user input signal input from a sensor unit (not shown) for detecting a user's gesture to the control unit 180, or transmit a signal from the control unit 180 to the sensor unit.

[0089] The control unit 180 may include at least one processor, and the included processor may be used to control the overall operation of the display device 100. Here, the processor may be a common processor such as a CPU (central processing unit). Of course, the processor may be a dedicated device such as an ASIC or a processor based on other hardware.

[0090] The control unit 180 may demultiplex a stream input through the tuner unit 111 , the demodulator unit 112 , the external device interface unit 171 , or the network interface unit 172 , or process a demultiplexed signal to generate and output a video or audio output.

[0091] The image signal processed by the control unit 180 is input to the display module 150 and can be displayed as an image corresponding to the image signal. In addition, the image signal processed by the control unit 180 can also be input to an external output device through the external device interface unit 171.

[0092] The voice signal processed in the control unit 180 may be outputted to the audio output unit 160. In addition, the voice signal processed in the control unit 180 may be inputted to an external output device through the external device interface unit 171. Figure 2 Although not shown in the figure, the control unit 180 may include a demultiplexing unit, an image processing unit, and the like.

[0093] In addition, the control unit 180 may control the overall operation of the display device 100. For example, the control unit 180 may control the tuner unit 111 to select (Tuning) a broadcast corresponding to a channel selected by a user or a stored channel.

[0094] In addition, the control unit 180 can control the display device 100 according to the user command or internal program input through the user input interface unit 173. On the other hand, the control unit 180 can control the display module 150 to display an image. At this time, the image displayed in the display module 150 can be a static image or a video, and can be a 2D image or a 3D image.

[0095] On the other hand, the control unit 180 can display a predetermined 2D object in the image displayed on the display module 150. For example, the object can be at least one of a linked web page screen (news, magazine, etc.), EPG (Electronic Program Guide), a variety of menus, widgets, icons, static images, videos, and texts.

[0096] On the other hand, the control unit 180 can modulate and / or demodulate the signal using an amplitude shift keying (ASK) method. Here, the amplitude shift keying (ASK) method may refer to a method of modulating a signal by changing the amplitude of a carrier according to a data value, or a method of restoring an analog signal to a digital data value according to the amplitude of a carrier.

[0097] For example, the control unit 180 may modulate the image signal using an amplitude shift keying (ASK) method and transmit the image signal through the wireless communication module.

[0098] For example, the control unit 180 may demodulate and process the image signal received through the wireless communication module using an amplitude shift keying (ASK) method.

[0099] Thus, the display device 100 can easily transmit and receive signals with other adjacently arranged image display devices without using a unique identifier such as a MAC address (Media Access Control Address) or a complex communication protocol such as TCP / IP.

[0100] On the other hand, the display device 100 may further include a shooting unit (not shown). The shooting unit may shoot a user. The shooting unit may be implemented by one camera, but is not limited thereto, and may also be implemented by a plurality of cameras. On the other hand, the shooting unit may be embedded in the display device 100 or configured separately on the upper part of the display module 150. Image information captured by the shooting unit may be input to the control unit 180.

[0101] The control unit 180 can recognize the user's position based on the image captured by the camera unit. For example, the control unit 180 can grasp the distance (z-axis coordinate) between the user and the display device 100. In addition, the control unit 180 can grasp the x-axis coordinate and the y-axis coordinate in the display module 150 corresponding to the user's position.

[0102] The control unit 180 may detect a user's gesture based on an image captured by the capturing unit or each signal detected by the sensor unit or a combination thereof.

[0103] The power supply unit 190 can supply power to the entire display device 100. In particular, the power supply unit 190 can supply power to the control unit 180 that can be implemented in the form of a system on chip (SOC), the display module 150 for displaying images, and the audio output unit 160 for outputting audio.

[0104] Specifically, the power supply unit 190 may include a converter (not shown) for converting AC power into DC power and a DC / Dc converter (not shown) for converting the level of the DC power.

[0105] On the other hand, the power supply unit 190 receives power from the outside and distributes it to each component. The power supply unit 190 can be connected directly to an external power source to supply AC power, and can include a rechargeable power supply unit 190 including a battery.

[0106] In the former case, it is connected to a wired cable and is difficult to move or has a limited range of movement. In the latter case, although it can be moved freely, the weight corresponding to the battery is increased, the volume becomes larger, and it is necessary to directly connect to the power cable at a specified time or to connect to a charging placement unit (not shown) that supplies power for charging.

[0107] The charging placement portion can be connected to the display device via a terminal exposed to the outside, or the built-in battery can be charged if it is approached wirelessly.

[0108] The remote control device 200 can transmit the user input to the user input interface unit 173. To this end, the remote control device 200 can use Bluetooth, radio frequency communication, infrared radiation communication, UWB (Ultra-wideband), ZigBee, etc. In addition, the remote control device 200 can receive the image, voice or data signal output by the user input interface unit 173, and display it in the remote control device 200 or output it by voice.

[0109] On the other hand, the display device 100 may be a fixed type or mobile type digital broadcast receiver capable of receiving digital broadcasts.

[0110] on the other hand, Figure 1 The block diagram of the display device 100 shown in the figure is only a block diagram for one embodiment of the present invention, and the components of the block diagram may be combined, added or omitted according to the design structure of the display device 100 actually implemented.

[0111] That is, two or more components may be combined into one component, or one component may be subdivided into two or more components as required. In addition, the functions performed in each block are used to illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, and the specific actions or devices thereof do not limit the scope of the present invention.

In addition, the foldable cover 330 may be formed with an insertion portion 331 introduced into the fastening groove 321 of the side cover 320 at one end. The fixing bracket 340 may be combined with one side of the side cover 320. Moreover, the fixing bracket 340 may be provided with a first magnet 341, and one side of the first magnet 341 abuts against one side of the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 introduced into the fastening groove 321.

[0115] In particular, in the display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a second magnet 332 is disposed in the insertion portion 331 formed in the foldable cover 330 to form a magnetic force with a first magnet 341 located in the fixing bracket 340 .

[0116] As described above, the display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention aims to stably place the display device while protecting the appearance of the large-screen display device as the display becomes larger. This is because the simple assembly and disassembly method using magnets, like the existing housing, has a limitation in adhesion.

[0117] Also refer to Figure 4 , the larger the display is, the larger the size of the foldable cover 330 should be. Therefore, the weight of the foldable cover 330 must be increased. As a result, in order to stably combine the foldable cover 330 with the side cover 320, it is necessary to fully ensure the adhesion.

[0118] Therefore, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention may form a fastening groove 321 on one side of the side cover 320. In addition, an insertion portion 331 formed at one end of the foldable cover 330 may be introduced into the fastening groove 321.

[0119] At this time, the first magnet 341 located at the fixing bracket 340 and the second magnet 332 located at the insertion portion 331 can form a magnetic force. In this case, the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 are separated by a distance only equal to the thickness of the foldable cover 330. Therefore, the gap between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 can be minimized.

[0120] As a result, compared with the simple assembly and disassembly method using magnets of the conventional housing, the display device housing 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention can minimize the gap between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 by the insertion structure of the foldable cover 330, thereby facilitating the magnetic force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332. In addition, the adhesion of the foldable cover 330 can be sufficiently ensured by this.

[0121] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a first magnet 341 located in a fixing bracket 340 in a display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 is for Figure 4 Stereoscopic image of area B. Fig.10 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a fixing rib 311 formed on a back cover 310 in a display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.11 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which the foldable cover 330 of the display device housing 300 is folded in the second state according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0122] As described above, in the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, the fixing bracket 340 coupled to one side of the side cover 320 may be provided with a first magnet 341. Figure 8 As shown, it can be configured so that one side is perpendicular to the inner surface of the side cover 320 .

[0123] This is to expand the area where the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 can form a magnetic force when the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 is introduced into the fastening groove 321 formed in the side cover 320 .

[0124] That is, the display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention minimizes the gap between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, and expands the area for forming the magnetic force, thereby improving the adhesion of the foldable cover 330. In addition, the number of magnets that attach the foldable cover 330 to the side cover 320 can be minimized, thereby achieving a cost saving effect.

[0125] In addition, in the display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the rear cover 310 may include a fixing rib 311 protruding from the front surface, and the fixing rib 311 abuts against the other surface of the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 introduced into the fastening groove 321 .

[0126] Here, the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention can stably fix the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 introduced into the fastening groove 321 through the fixing rib 311. In addition, foreign matter that may flow in through the fastening groove 321 after the foldable cover 330 is inserted can be blocked by the fixing rib 311.

[0127] In addition, refer to Fig.10 In the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, the fixing rib 311 may be formed to be more protruding and inclined toward the inner side from one side of the back cover 310. Moreover, the fixing rib 311 may be formed to be spaced apart from each other and arranged side by side.

[0128] This is to allow the user to easily separate the foldable cover 330 after fastening the foldable cover 330. That is, by forming the fixing rib 311 obliquely, a space can be formed between one side of the back cover 310 and the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330, and the user can easily separate the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 that forms a magnetic force with the first magnet 341 by pressing the insertion portion 331.

[0129] Therefore, the display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention can sufficiently ensure the magnetic force of the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 by inserting the foldable cover 330 into the side cover 320, thereby improving the adhesion of the foldable cover 330. At the same time, through the fixing rib 311 obliquely formed on the back cover 310, the user can easily separate the foldable cover 330 by pressing the insertion portion 331, thereby further improving the convenience of use.

[0130] Refer again Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the foldable cover 330 in the display device housing 300 may include a bending portion 333 so as to be foldable. Figure 3 As shown, when the foldable cover 330 is folded in the first state, the other end of the foldable cover 330 can abut against the back side of the back cover 310, thereby supporting the display device.

[0131] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, in a display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the back cover 310 may include a slot 312 formed on the back of the back cover 310, and the other end of the foldable cover 330 is introduced into the slot 312. Thus, a large-screen display device can be supported more stably.

[0132] Furthermore, in the display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the foldable cover 330 may include a stopper 334 formed by foldably extending from the other end. Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the other end of the foldable cover 330 can be thickened due to the folding of the locking portion 334, and can be inserted into the locking slot 312 to more stably support a large-screen display device.

[0133] In addition, if Figure 3As shown, in the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, the card slots 312 formed on the back of the back cover 310 can be formed as a plurality of slots 312 spaced apart from each other and arranged side by side. Moreover, the user can easily adjust the vertical angle of the display device according to the convenience.

[0134] Moreover, referring to Figure 3 and Fig.11 In the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, the foldable cover 330 can cover the front of the display module 150 when folded in the second state. That is, the foldable cover 330 supports the display device when folded in the first state, covers the front of the display module 150 when folded in the second state, and can protect the appearance of the display device with a large screen.

[0135] In addition, if Fig.11 As shown, in a display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, the foldable cover 330 may include a stopper 334 formed by extending foldably from the other end. Moreover, the stopper 334 can be folded to abut against the other side of the side cover 320. By combining the stopper 334 with the other side of the side cover 320 when the foldable cover 330 is folded in the second state, the appearance protection of the display device is improved. At this time, the stopper 334 and the other side of the side cover 320 can be attached by using the magnetic force of a magnet. In addition, it can also be combined by other combining structures such as a stopper structure using a hook.

[0136] Fig.12 3 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the first magnet 341 in the display device housing 300 of the present invention. Fig.13 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the second magnet 332 located in the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 in the display device housing 300 of the present invention.

[0137] If through Figures 2 to 11 As described above, the display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention can ensure the adhesion of the foldable cover 330 by introducing the insertion structure of the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 into the fastening groove 321 formed in the side cover 320 and the magnetic force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332. At this time, the area where the magnetic force is formed is expanded by the configuration structure of the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, so that the adhesion of the foldable cover 330 can be ensured.

[0138] Furthermore, in order to ensure the magnetic force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, the display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention is Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the N poles and S poles of a plurality of magnets may be arranged alternately.

[0139] That is, the first magnet 341 may be formed by arranging N poles 341a and S poles 341b of a plurality of magnets alternately on one side. Furthermore, the second magnet 332 may be formed by arranging S poles 332a and N poles 332b of a plurality of magnets alternately on one side so as to form magnetic force with the N poles 341a and S poles 341b of the first magnet 341, and is formed by combining a plurality of magnets.

[0140] Therefore, in the display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention, N poles 341a, 332b and S poles 341b, 332a are alternately arranged on the side where the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 form a magnetic force, thereby increasing the magnetic force formed between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, and further increasing the adhesion of the foldable cover 330.

[0141] Furthermore, when the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 is introduced into the fastening groove 321 formed in the side cover 320, the display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention can reduce the repulsive force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 in which N-pole magnets and S-pole magnets are alternately arranged.

[0142] That is, compared with the case where one N pole or one S pole is formed on the surface forming the magnetic force, the case where the N pole and the S pole are arranged alternately on the surface forming the magnetic force can reduce the repulsive force that may occur when approaching. As a result, the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 can be introduced into the fastening groove 321 without twisting, thereby further improving the convenience of the user.

[0143] In addition, refer to Figure 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 In the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, the first magnet 341 may include a marking plate 342 coupled to one side. This is to improve the convenience of arranging the first magnet 341, which alternately arranges the N-pole magnet and the S-pole magnet and combines them, on the fixing bracket 340 when manufacturing the display device housing 300 of the present invention.

[0144] This is because if the first magnet 341 is located in the wrong direction, it may form a repulsive force instead of a magnetic force with the second magnet 332 .

[0145] Therefore, by using the marking plate 342 coupled to one side of the first magnet 341 , the first magnet 341 can be accurately placed on the fixing bracket 340 when manufacturing the display device 300 of the present invention.

[0146] Furthermore, the display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention may further be combined with a marking plate 342 on one side of the second magnet 332. Thus, the second magnet 332 can be positioned in an accurate direction at the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 during the manufacturing process, so that it can form a magnetic force with the first magnet 341 located at the fixing bracket 340.

[0147] In summary, the display device housing of the present invention can improve the adhesion of the foldable cover by inserting the insertion portion formed at one end of the foldable cover into the fastening groove formed in the side cover. In addition, the gap between the magnets used to fasten the foldable cover is minimized, and the area used to form the magnetic force is expanded, thereby improving the adhesion of the foldable cover. In addition, by forming a fixed rib protruding from the front of the back cover, foreign matter that may flow in through the fastening groove after the foldable cover is fastened can be blocked.

[0148] The above detailed description should not be interpreted as limiting in all aspects, but should be considered as illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the equivalent scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
