Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composite antenna structure and a display device, and particularly to a composite antenna structure and a display device that combine a screen bracket and a radiator. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, network technology has developed vigorously, and the application of the network has become inseparable from modern people's lives. In order to meet the user's demand for the convenience of carrying portable electronic devices, manufacturers will install antennas in portable electronic devices to receive and transmit signals, so that wireless Internet access can be carried out without being restricted by the field.

[0003] Generally speaking, an antenna needs to be connected to a large grounding structure for grounding to increase the stability of signal reception and transmission. However, the large grounding structure will compress the space available for assembling other electronic components in the portable electronic device. In addition, installing the grounding structure also requires additional time and cost, resulting in inconvenience in antenna assembly. Therefore, how to reduce the volume of the antenna and reduce the antenna assembly time and cost is one of the problems that R & D personnel should solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a composite antenna structure and a display device, thereby reducing the volume of the antenna and reducing the antenna assembly time and cost.

[0005] The composite antenna structure disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is used to be disposed on a housing of a display device, and includes at least one screen bracket and at least one radiator. At least one screen bracket is used to be disposed on the housing. At least one radiator is disposed on at least one screen bracket and is integrally formed with at least one screen bracket, so that at least one screen bracket forms a grounding body and jointly constitutes an antenna with at least one radiator.

[0006] Another embodiment of the present invention discloses a display device, including a housing, a composite antenna structure, and a display. The housing has an accommodation space. The composite antenna structure is located in the accommodation space and includes at least one screen bracket and at least one radiator. At least one radiator is disposed on one side of at least one screen bracket and is integrally formed with at least one screen bracket, so that at least one screen bracket forms a grounding body and jointly constitutes an antenna with at least one radiator. The display is disposed on the other side of at least one screen bracket.

[0007] According to the composite antenna structure and the display device of the above embodiments, since the radiator and the screen bracket jointly constitute an antenna, so that the screen bracket can not only retain its original function of supporting the screen, but also serve as a grounding structure for the radiator. Therefore, the composite antenna structure does not need to additionally provide other grounding structures, and can reduce the production cost and assembly time, and can reduce the overall volume of the antenna.

[0008] In addition, since the radiator and the screen support are integrally formed, the manufacturing process for producing the composite antenna structure can be simplified, eliminating the need to separately manufacture the radiator and the screen support and perform an additional manufacturing process for connecting the radiator to the screen support. Therefore, the cost of producing the composite antenna structure can be further reduced.

[0014] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 . Figure 1 FIG. is a perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is Figure 1 an exploded view of the display device of Figure 3 is Figure 1 an exploded view of the composite antenna structure and the display of the display device of

[0015] The display device 1 of the present embodiment is, for example, suitable for a notebook computer and includes a housing 10, a composite antenna structure 20, and a display 30. The housing 10 is made of, for example, a plastic material and has a receiving space 11. The composite antenna structure 20 is located in the receiving space 11 and includes two screen supports 21 and two radiators 22. The two screen supports 21 and the two radiators 22 are, for example, iron parts.

[0016] Please also refer to Figure 4 . Figure 4 is Figure 1Schematic plan view of the screen bracket and radiator of the display device. Since the two screen brackets 21 and the two radiators 22 are symmetrically located in the accommodation space 11, and the structures of each screen bracket 21 and each radiator 22 are the same, the screen bracket 21 and the radiator 22 will be described below. The screen bracket 21 includes a support portion 211, an extension portion 212, a bending portion 213, and an assembly portion 214. The support portion 211 includes a first long side 2111, a second long side 2112, a first short side 2113, and a second short side 2114. The opposite ends of the first long side 2111 are respectively connected to one end of the first short side 2113 and one end of the second short side 2114. The opposite ends of the second long side 2112 are respectively connected to the other end of the first short side 2113 and the other end of the second short side 2114.

[0017] The extension portion 212 includes a third long side 2121, a fourth long side 2122, a third short side 2123, and a fourth short side 2124. The length of the third long side 2121 is, for example, 10 millimeters, and the opposite ends of the third long side 2121 are respectively connected to one end of the third short side 2123 and one end of the fourth short side 2124. The opposite ends of the fourth long side 2122 are respectively connected to the other end of the third short side 2123 and the other end of the fourth short side 2124. The length R2 of the third short side 2123 is, for example, less than the length R1 of the first long side 2111 of the support portion 211, and the third short side 2123 is connected to the first long side 2111. The bending portion 213 stands on the second long side 2112, the first short side 2113, and the second short side 2114 of the support portion 211. The assembly portion 214 is located on the first short side 2113 and is provided on the bending portion 213. The screen bracket 21 can be assembled to the housing 10 through the assembly portion 214. For example, the screen bracket 21 can fix the assembly portion 214 to the housing 10 through a fastener (not shown).

[0018] The radiator 22 is, for example, integrally formed with one side of the screen bracket 21, so that the screen bracket 21 forms a grounding body and together with the radiator 22 constitutes an antenna. The radiator 22 is provided in the middle section of the third long side 2121 of the extension portion 212, and the radiator 22 is adjacent to the assembly portion 214 and spaced apart. In addition, the shortest distance between the radiator 22 and the extension line of the first long side 2111 is, for example, 5 millimeters. The display 30 is, for example, the screen of a notebook computer and is provided on the other side of the screen bracket 21. Specifically, the display 30, for example, includes a mounting portion (not shown) and is mounted on the screen bracket 21 through the mounting portion. The screen bracket 21 supports the display 30 through the support portion 211, and positions the display 30 by abutting the display 30 against the bending portion 213.

[0019] In this embodiment, the advantage of the radiator 22 and the screen support 21 jointly forming an antenna is that the radiator 22 can be directly grounded through the grounding body formed by the screen support 21, so that in addition to retaining the original function of supporting the screen, the screen support 21 can also serve as the grounding structure of the radiator 22, enabling the composite antenna structure 20 to eliminate the need for additional grounding structures, thereby reducing production costs and assembly time, and decreasing the overall volume of the antenna.

[0020] In addition, since the radiator 22 and the screen support 21 are integrally formed, the manufacturing process for producing the composite antenna structure 20 can be simplified, eliminating the need to separately produce the radiator 22 and the screen support 21 and perform an additional manufacturing process for connecting the radiator 22 to the screen support 21, thus further reducing the production cost of the composite antenna structure 20.

[0021] In this embodiment, the radiator 22 and the screen support 21 are integrally formed, but this is not limiting. In other embodiments, the radiator and the screen support can also be connected by other connection methods, for example.

[0022] In this embodiment, the radiator 22 is disposed in the middle section of the third long side 2121 of the extension portion 212, but this is not limiting. In other embodiments, the radiator can also be disposed at any position on the third long side of the extension portion, as long as it is more than 5 millimeters away from adjacent metal components (not shown), and the configuration of the radiator can be adjusted accordingly.

[0023] According to the composite antenna structure and the display device of the above embodiment, since the radiator and the screen support jointly form an antenna, in addition to retaining the original function of supporting the screen, the screen support can also serve as the grounding structure of the radiator, so the composite antenna structure does not require additional grounding structures, thereby reducing production costs and assembly time, and decreasing the overall volume of the antenna.

[0024] In addition, since the radiator and the screen support are integrally formed, the manufacturing process for producing the composite antenna structure can be simplified, eliminating the need to separately produce the radiator and the screen support and perform an additional manufacturing process for connecting the radiator to the screen support, thus further reducing the production cost of the composite antenna structure.
