[0032] Figure 1 This is a side view showing a display device according to an embodiment. Figure 2 This is a plan view showing a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display device 10 can be applied to portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, mobile communication terminals, electronic notebooks, e-book readers, portable multimedia players (PMPs), navigation devices, and ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs). For example, the display device 10 according to embodiments of the present invention can be used as a display unit for televisions, laptop computers, monitors, billboards, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, etc. As another example, the display device 10 according to embodiments of the present invention can be applied to various wearable devices, such as smartwatches, smartwatch phones, glasses displays, and head-mounted displays (HMDs).

[0034] The display device 10 may include a display panel 100, a circuit board 200, a vibration absorption unit 300, and a connector 400.

[0035] The display panel 100 may emit light on a plane including a first direction DR1 and a second direction DR2, and may have thickness on a third direction DR3. The display panel 100 may include a plurality of pixels for displaying an image. Each of the plurality of pixels may emit light from a light-emitting area or an opening area. For example, a pixel may include pixel circuitry, which includes switching elements, a pixel defining layer defining a light-emitting area, and self-emissive elements.

[0036] For example, a self-emissive element may include at least one of the following: an organic light-emitting diode including an organic light-emitting layer, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (LED) including a quantum dot light-emitting layer, an inorganic light-emitting diode (LED) including an inorganic semiconductor, a micro light-emitting diode (LED), and a nano light-emitting diode (LED), but is not limited thereto.

[0037] The circuit board 200 can be attached to a surface of the display panel 100 via an adhesive member 210. The adhesive member 210 may include an adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape having a relatively thin thickness. The surface of the display panel 100 to which the circuit board 200 is attached may be opposite another surface in which light from the display panel 100 is emitted. The circuit board 200 may be a printed circuit board electrically connected to the display panel 100. For example, the display device 10 may also include: a flexible film (not shown) electrically connected between the circuit board 200 and the display panel 100; and a control circuit board (not shown) in which control components and various electronic devices are mounted. The circuit board 200 may include signal lines electrically connecting the control circuit board and the flexible film to each other.

[0038] The circuit board 200 may include: a first portion attached to the adhesive member 210; a second portion directly supporting the vibration-absorbing unit 300 or an arrangement having the vibration-absorbing unit 300; and a third portion directly supporting the connector 400 or an arrangement having the connector 400. The second portion may be disposed between the first and third portions. Here, the first to third portions of the circuit board 200 are not shown in the drawings. The second and third portions of the circuit board 200 may not be attached to the adhesive member 210 and may be spaced apart from one surface of the display panel 100.

[0039] Vibration absorbing unit 300 may be disposed on one surface of circuit board 200. Vibration absorbing unit 300 may be disposed planarly between connector 400 and adhesive member 210. Vibration absorbing unit 300 may not overlap with adhesive member 210 in the third direction DR3 or thickness direction. Vibration absorbing unit 300 may be spaced apart from adhesive member 210 in the second direction DR2. Since vibration absorbing unit 300 does not overlap with adhesive member 210 in thickness direction, vibration of display panel 100 in third direction DR3 may not be directly transmitted through adhesive member 210. Vibration of display panel 100 in third direction DR3 may be transmitted to adhesive member 210 and circuit board 200, and may be transmitted to vibration absorbing unit 300 through vibration in the second direction DR2 or vibration in the direction opposite to the second direction DR2. The resonant frequency of vibration absorbing unit 300 may be equal to or lower than the resonant frequency of rotation of connector holder 410. Therefore, the vibration absorption unit 300 can be disposed in the vibration transmission path of the display panel 100, which can absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400 and prevent the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping.

[0040] For example, the display device 10 may include a plurality of vibration absorption units 300 and a plurality of connectors 400, and one vibration absorption unit 300 may be disposed on one side of a connector 400. Thus, each of the plurality of vibration absorption units 300 can absorb vibrations transmitted to its corresponding connector 400.

[0041] The vibration absorption unit 300 may include at least one support member 310, a lower damper 320, and an upper damper 330. At least one support member 310 may be disposed on one surface of the circuit board 200. At least one support member 310 may be disposed below a first side of the lower damper 320, or below a second side of the lower damper 320 opposite to the first side. Figure 2In the case where the vibration absorption unit 300 includes two support members 310, one support member 310 can be located below the left side of the lower damper 320, while the other support member 310 can be located below the right side of the lower damper 320, so that the support member 310 can support the lower damper 320.

[0042] For example, the support member 310 may be formed from plastic materials such as polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethersulfone (PES), polyarylate (PAR), and / or fiber-reinforced plastics. For example, the support member 310 may be mounted on a surface of the circuit board 200 by plastic molding using plastic curing or injection molding. As another example, the support member 310 may be mounted on a surface of the circuit board 200 by ultrasonic fusion or thermal fusion. As yet another example, the support member 310 may be attached to a surface of the circuit board 200 by adhesive.

[0043] A lower damper 320 may be disposed on at least one support member 310. The lower damper 320 may include a long side in the first direction DR1 and a short side in the second direction DR2. The length of the lower damper 320 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to construct the lower damper 320 may be different from the material used to construct the upper damper 330. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 includes the lower damper 320 and the upper damper 330, which respectively comprise different materials, the vibration absorption unit 300 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0044] The lower damper 320 may comprise a metallic material. For example, the lower damper 320 may comprise at least one of aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), silver (Ag), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), indium (In), neodymium (Nd), and copper (Cu); however, the materials used to constitute the lower damper 320 are not limited thereto. The lower damper 320 may be formed on a surface of the support member 310 by plastic molding using plastic curing or injection molding. As another example, the lower damper 320 may be mounted on a surface of the support member 310 by ultrasonic fusion or thermal fusion. As yet another example, the lower damper 320 may be attached to a surface of the support member 310 by adhesive.

[0045] The upper damper 330 may be disposed on the lower damper 320. The planar shape and dimensions of the upper damper 330 may be substantially the same as those of the lower damper 320; however, the planar shape of the upper damper 330 is not limited thereto. The upper damper 330 may include a long side in the first direction DR1 and a short side in the second direction DR2. The length of the upper damper 330 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to construct the upper damper 330 may be different from the material used to construct the lower damper 320. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 includes the lower damper 320 and the upper damper 330, which respectively comprise different materials, the vibration absorption unit 300 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0046] The upper damper 330 may include at least one of a polymer strip, a damping strip, an elastic polymer, silicone, and rubber. For example, the upper damper 330 may include at least one of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyetherimide (PEI), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), methyl fluoroacetate (MFA), and perfluoroalkoxyalkanes (PFA).

[0047] A connector 400 may be disposed on an edge of one surface of a circuit board 200. A first edge of the circuit board 200 may be attached to a display panel 100 via an adhesive member 210, and a second edge opposite to the first edge of the circuit board 200 may support the connector 400. The connector 400 may electrically connect the circuit board 200 and a control circuit board (not shown) to each other. The connector 400 may be spaced apart from the adhesive member 210, with a vibration-absorbing unit 300 inserted therebetween. The vibration-absorbing unit 300 may protect the connector 400 from vibrations transmitted from the display panel 100. The connector 400 may include a first side surface facing the vibration-absorbing unit 300 and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface.

[0048] A connector retainer 410 may be disposed on a second side surface of the connector 400. The connector retainer 410 may be secured by accommodating cable pins or terminals that connect the control circuit board (not shown) and the connector 400 to each other. One end of the connector retainer 410 may be secured to the connector 400, and the other end opposite to one end of the connector retainer 410 may rotate about that end. Figure 1In this process, the connector retainer 410, with its head facing the opposite direction to the second direction DR2 of the connector 400, can rotate on the third direction DR3 by receiving vibration. In the transmission process of multiple display panels 100, when vibration transmitted from the display panel 100 reaches the connector 400, the connector retainer 410 rotates and damages other adjacent display panels 100. Therefore, when the vibration absorption unit 300 is provided in the vibration transmission path of the display panel 100, the vibration absorption unit 300 can absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400 and prevent damage to other adjacent display panels 100 by preventing the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping.

[0049] Figure 3 This is a block diagram illustrating a display device according to an embodiment.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 The display panel 100 may include a display area DA and a non-display area NDA. The display area DA may include multiple pixels SP and power lines VL, scan lines SL and data lines DL connected to the multiple pixels SP.

[0051] Each pixel SP can be connected to a scan line SL, a data line DL, and a power line VL. Each pixel SP may include a transistor, a light-emitting diode, and a capacitor.

[0052] Scan lines SL can extend along a first direction DR1 and can be spaced apart from each other along a second direction DR2 that intersects with the first direction DR1. Scan lines SL can sequentially supply scan signals to multiple pixels SP.

[0053] Data lines DL can extend in the second direction DR2 and can be spaced apart from each other in the first direction DR1. Data lines DL can supply data voltage to pixels SP. The data voltage determines the brightness of pixels SP.

[0054] The power lines VL may extend along the second direction DR2 and may be spaced apart from each other in the first direction. The power lines VL may supply power voltages to multiple pixels SP. The power voltages may include, but are not limited to, the drive voltage (EVDD), the low potential voltage (EVSS), the initialization voltage (Vint), the reference voltage (Vref), and the bias voltage (Vbias).

[0055] Scan driver 110 may include multiple transistors and can generate scan signals based on scan control signals SCS. Scan driver 110 may use shift registers to shift scan signals and may sequentially provide shifted scan signals to scan lines. The scan signal of scan driver 110 may select pixels SP to be supplied with data voltages, and the selected pixels SP may receive data voltages via data lines DL. Scan driver 110 may be disposed on one or both sides of the non-display area DNA in a gate-in-panel (GIP) configuration.

[0056] The display driver 120 supplies data voltage to the data lines DL of the display panel 100. The display driver 120 can be mounted on a flexible film (not shown) and can be electrically connected to the data lines DL of the display panel 100 via pads on the display panel 100. The display driver 120 can be formed as an integrated circuit (IC). For example, the display driver 120 can be attached to a surface of the flexible film using a chip-on-film (COF) method. The flexible film may include lines electrically connecting the display driver 120 and the display panel 100. One side of the flexible film can be electrically connected to the pads of the display panel 100, and the other side of the flexible film can be electrically connected to the circuit board 200.

[0057] Power supply unit 130 can supply a power supply voltage to the power line VL. The power supply voltage may include, but is not limited to, a drive voltage (EVDD), a low-level voltage (EVSS), an initialization voltage (Vint), a reference voltage (Vref), and a bias voltage (Vbias). Power supply unit 130 can generate a drive voltage (EVDD) and supply it to the drive voltage line, generate an initialization voltage (Vint) and supply it to the initialization voltage line, generate a bias voltage (Vbias) and supply it to the bias voltage line, generate a reference voltage (Vref) and supply it to the reference voltage line, and generate a low-level voltage (EVSS) and supply it to the low-level line.

[0058] The timing controller 140 receives digital video data DATA and timing signals from a display driving system or graphics device (not shown). The timing controller 140 generates a data control signal DCS based on the timing signals. The timing controller 140 provides the digital video data DATA and the data control signal DCS to the display driver 120 to control the operating timing of the display driver 120. The display driver 120 converts the digital video data DATA into an analog data voltage and supplies the analog data voltage to the data line DL. The timing controller 140 generates a scan control signal SCS based on the timing signals. The timing controller 140 provides the scan control signal SCS to the scan driver 110 to control the operating timing of the scan driver 110. The timing controller 140 can change the drive frequency based on the input frequency received from the display driving system or graphics device (not shown).

[0059] Figure 4 This is a view showing an example of a vibration absorption unit in a display device according to an embodiment.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 The vibration absorption unit 300 can be disposed on one surface of the circuit board 200. The resonant frequency of the vibration absorption unit 300 can be equal to or lower than the resonant frequency of the rotation of the connector retainer 410. Therefore, the vibration absorption unit 300 can be disposed in the vibration transmission path of the display panel 100 and can absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400, and can prevent the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping.

[0061] The vibration absorption unit 300 may include a plurality of support members 310, a lower damper 320, and an upper damper 330. The plurality of support members 310 may be disposed below the left and right sides of the lower damper 320, so that the support members 310 can support the lower damper 320. The support members 310 may have a first width W1 in a first direction DR1.

[0062] A lower damper 320 may be disposed on at least one support member 310. The lower damper 320 may include a long side in the first direction DR1 and a short side in the second direction DR2. The material used to construct the lower damper 320 may be different from the material used to construct the upper damper 330. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 includes a lower damper 320 and an upper damper 330, which are made of different materials, the vibration absorption unit 300 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0063] The upper damper 330 may be disposed on the lower damper 320. The upper damper 330 may include a long side in the first direction DR1 and a short side in the second direction DR2. The material used to construct the upper damper 330 may be different from the material used to construct the lower damper 320. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 includes the lower damper 320 and the upper damper 330, which are made of different materials, the vibration absorption unit 300 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0064] Figure 5 This is a view showing another example of a vibration absorption unit in a display device according to an embodiment. Figure 5 The support member 310 of the vibration absorption unit 300 has a similar structure to the support member 310 of the vibration absorption unit 300. Figure 4 The support member 310 of the vibration absorption unit 300 has a different construction, therefore, the same components as described above will be briefly described or omitted.

[0065] Reference Figure 5 The vibration absorption unit 300 may include a support member 310, a lower damper 320, and an upper damper 330. The support member 310 may support the lower part of one side of the lower damper 320. The support member 310 may have a second width W2 in the first direction DR1. Figure 5 The second width W2 of the support member 310 shown can be greater than Figure 4 The first width W1 of the support member 310 in the middle. Figure 5 The vibration absorption unit 300 includes a support member 310 with a relatively large width, thus reducing the number of support members 310.

[0066] Figure 6 This is a view showing the vibration transmission path in a display device according to an embodiment.

[0067] Reference Figure 6 In the conveying process of multiple display panels 100 in the second direction DR2 or the direction opposite to the second direction DR2, the display panels 100 may vibrate in the third direction DR3. The vibration of the display panels 100 in the third direction DR3 can be transmitted to the adhesive member 210 and the circuit board 200, and can also be transmitted to the vibration absorption unit 300 through the vibration of the circuit board 200 in the second direction DR2 or the direction opposite to the second direction DR2. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 does not overlap with the adhesive member 210 in the thickness direction, the vibration of the display panels 100 in the third direction DR3 is not directly transmitted through the adhesive member 210. The resonant frequency of the vibration absorption unit 300 may be equal to or lower than the resonant frequency of the rotation of the connector retainer 410.

[0068] In the transmission process of multiple display panels 100, when vibrations transmitted from the display panels 100 reach the connector 400, the connector retainer 410 rotates, causing damage to other adjacent display panels 100. Therefore, when the vibration absorption unit 300 is disposed in the vibration transmission path of the display panels 100, the vibration absorption unit 300 can absorb the vibrations transmitted to the connector 400, and can prevent damage to other adjacent display panels 100 by preventing the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping.

[0069] Figure 7 This is a side view showing a display device according to another embodiment. Figure 8 This is a view showing a vibration absorption unit in a display device according to another embodiment. Figure 7 and 8 The vibration absorption unit of the display device in the middle has the same as Figure 4 and 5 The vibration absorption unit 300 of the display device in the text has a different configuration, therefore, the same components as described above will be briefly described or omitted.

[0070] Reference Figure 7 and 8 The vibration absorption unit 300 can be disposed on one surface of the circuit board 200. The vibration absorption unit 300 can be disposed on a plane between the connector 400 and the adhesive member 210. The vibration absorption unit 300 may not overlap with the adhesive member 210 in the third direction DR3 or the thickness direction. The vibration absorption unit 300 may be spaced apart from the adhesive member 210 in the second direction DR2.

[0071] The vibration absorption unit 300 may include a support member 310, a first lower damper 321, a second lower damper 322, a first upper damper 331, and a second upper damper 332. Multiple support members 310 may be disposed on one surface of the circuit board 200. Multiple support members 310 may be disposed below a first side of the first lower damper 321 and below a second side of the first lower damper 321 opposite to the first side. Since multiple support members 310 are disposed below the left and right sides of the first lower damper 321, multiple support members 310 can support the first lower damper 321. The upper surface of the support member 310 may support the first lower damper 321 in a third direction DR3. The support member 310 may be disposed on a side surface of the second lower damper 322. The first side surface of the support member 310 may support the second lower damper 322 in a second direction DR2. The second side surface of the support member 310 opposite to its first side surface may face the connector 400.

[0072] As another example, support 310 can be reflected Figure 5The implementation method is used to support the left or right side of the first lower damper 321 and the second lower damper 322.

[0073] A first lower damper 321 may be disposed on at least one support member 310. The first lower damper 321 may include a long side in the first direction DR1, a short side in the second direction DR2, and a thickness in the third direction DR3. The length of the first lower damper 321 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to constitute the first lower damper 321 may be different from the material used to constitute the first upper damper 331.

[0074] The first upper damper 331 may be disposed on the first lower damper 321. The planar shape and dimensions of the first upper damper 331 may be substantially the same as those of the first lower damper 321; however, the planar shape of the first upper damper 331 is not limited thereto. The first upper damper 331 may include a long side in the first direction DR1, a short side in the second direction DR2, and a thickness in the third direction DR3. The length of the first upper damper 321 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to constitute the first upper damper 331 may be different from the material used to constitute the first lower damper 321. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 includes the first lower damper 321 and the first upper damper 331, and the first lower damper 321 and the first upper damper 331 respectively comprise different materials, the vibration absorption unit 300 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0075] The second lower damper 322 may be disposed on the side surface of at least one support member 310. The second lower damper 322 may include a long side in the first direction DR1, a short side in the third direction DR3, and a thickness in the second direction DR2. The length of the second lower damper 322 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to constitute the second lower damper 322 may be different from the material used to constitute the second upper damper 332.

[0076] The second upper damper 332 may be disposed on the second lower damper 322. The planar shape and dimensions of the second upper damper 332 may be substantially the same as those of the second lower damper 322; however, the planar shape of the second upper damper 332 is not limited thereto. The second upper damper 322 may include a long side in the first direction DR1, a short side in the third direction DR3, and a thickness in the second direction DR2. The length of the second upper damper 332 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to constitute the second upper damper 332 may be different from the material used to constitute the second lower damper 322. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 includes the second lower damper 322 and the second upper damper 332, and the second lower damper 322 and the second upper damper 332 respectively comprise different materials, the vibration absorption unit 300 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0077] Each of the first lower damper 321 and the second lower damper 322 may include components for constituting... Figure 1 The material of the lower damper 320 disclosed herein. For example, the first lower damper 321 and the second lower damper 322 may comprise the same material. As another example, the first lower damper 321 and the second lower damper 322 may each comprise different materials, at least for constituting... Figure 1 Some of the materials disclosed in the lower damper 320.

As another example, the first upper damper 331 and the second upper damper 332 may each comprise different materials, at least for constituting... Figure 1 Some of the materials disclosed in the upper damper 330.

[0079] Since the vibration absorption unit 300 includes a support 310, a first lower damper 321, a second lower damper 322, a first upper damper 331, and a second upper damper 332, the vibration absorption unit 300 can absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400 and prevent the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping.

Figure 9 The vibration absorption unit 300 of the display device in the middle has a vibration absorption unit 300 with Figure 1 The vibration absorption unit 300 of the display device in the text has a different configuration, therefore, the same components as described above will be briefly described or omitted.

[0081] Reference Figure 9 The vibration absorbing unit 303 may be disposed on one surface of the connector 400, such as a side surface of the connector 400. The vibration absorbing unit 303 may be disposed planarly between the connector 400 and the adhesive member 210. The vibration absorbing unit 303 may not overlap with the adhesive member 210 in the third direction DR3 or the thickness direction. The vibration absorbing unit 303 may be spaced apart from the adhesive member 210 in the second direction DR2.

[0082] The vibration absorption unit 303 may include at least one support member 313, a lower damper 323, and an upper damper 333. At least one support member 313 may be disposed on a side surface of the connector 400. The support member 313 may be disposed on a first side surface of the connector 400 to be supported by the first side surface, and the connector retainer 410 may be disposed on a second side surface of the connector 400 opposite to the first side surface.

[0083] A lower damper 323 may be disposed on at least one support member 313. An upper damper 333 may be disposed on the lower damper 323. The material used to construct the upper damper 333 may be different from the material used to construct the lower damper 323. Since the vibration absorption unit 303 includes a lower damper 323 and an upper damper 333, which are made of different materials, the vibration absorption unit 303 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0084] Figure 10 This is a side view showing a display device according to yet another embodiment. Figure 10 The vibration absorption unit 304 of the display device 10 has a vibration absorption unit 304 with Figure 1 The vibration absorption unit 300 of the display device in the text has a different configuration, therefore, the same components as described above will be briefly described or omitted.

[0085] Reference Figure 10 Vibration absorbing unit 304 may be disposed on a side surface of connector 400. Vibration absorbing unit 304 may be disposed in a plane between connector 400 and adhesive member 210. Vibration absorbing unit 304 may not overlap with adhesive member 210 in the third direction DR3 or thickness direction. Vibration absorbing unit 304 may be spaced apart from adhesive member 210 in the second direction DR2.

[0086] The vibration absorption unit 304 may include a support member 314, a first lower damper 324 and a second lower damper 325, a first upper damper 334 and a second upper damper 335. At least one support member 314 may be disposed on a side surface of the connector 400.

At least one support member 314 may be disposed below the left or right side of the first lower damper 324 and may support the lower damper 320. The support member 314 may support the first lower damper 324 in a third direction DR3. The support member 314 may be disposed on a side surface of the second lower damper 325. The support member 314 may support the second lower damper 325 in a second direction DR2.

[0087] As another example, support 314 can be reflected Figure 5 The implementation method is used to support the left or right side of the first lower damper 324 and the second lower damper 325.

[0088] A first lower damper 324 may be disposed on at least one support member 314. A first upper damper 334 may be disposed on the first lower damper 324. The material used to constitute the first upper damper 334 may be different from the material used to constitute the first lower damper 324. Since the vibration absorption unit 304 includes the first lower damper 324 and the first upper damper 334, and the first lower damper 324 and the first upper damper 334 are made of different materials, the vibration absorption unit 304 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0089] A second lower damper 325 may be disposed on the side surface of at least one support member 314. A second upper damper 335 may be disposed on the second lower damper 325. The material used to constitute the second upper damper 335 may be different from the material used to constitute the second lower damper 325. Since the vibration absorption unit 304 includes a second lower damper 325 and a second upper damper 335, and the second lower damper 325 and the second upper damper 335 are made of different materials, the vibration absorption unit 304 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0090] Each of the first lower damper 324 and the second lower damper 325 may include components for constituting... Figure 1 The material of the lower damper 320 disclosed herein. For example, the first lower damper 324 and the second lower damper 325 may comprise the same material. As another example, the first lower damper 324 and the second lower damper 325 may each comprise different materials, at least for constituting... Figure 1 Some of the materials disclosed in the lower damper 320.

[0091] Each of the first upper damper 334 and the second upper damper 335 may include components for constituting... Figure 1 The material of the upper damper 330 disclosed herein. For example, the first upper damper 334 and the second upper damper 335 may comprise the same material. As another example, the first upper damper 334 and the second upper damper 335 may each comprise different materials, at least for constituting... Figure 1 Some of the materials disclosed in the upper damper 330.

[0092] Since the vibration absorption unit 304 includes a support 314, a first lower damper 324, a second lower damper 325, a first upper damper 334, and a second upper damper 335, the vibration absorption unit 304 can absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400 and prevent the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping.

[0093] Figure 11 This is a side view showing a display device according to yet another embodiment. Figure 11 The first vibration absorption unit 301 and the second vibration absorption unit 302 of the display device have the same characteristics as... Figure 1 The vibration absorption unit 300 of the display device in the text has a different configuration, therefore, the same components as described above will be briefly described or omitted.

[0095] The first vibration absorbing unit 301 may be disposed on one surface of the circuit board 200. The first vibration absorbing unit 301 may be disposed planarly between the connector 400 and the adhesive member 210. The first vibration absorbing unit 301 may be disposed planarly between the second vibration absorbing unit 302 and the adhesive member 210.

The material used to constitute the first lower damper 321 may be different from the material used to constitute the first upper damper 331.

[0098] The first upper damper 331 may be disposed on the first lower damper 321. The planar shape and size of the first upper damper 331 may be substantially the same as those of the first lower damper 321; however, the planar shape of the first upper damper 331 is not limited thereto. The first upper damper 331 may include a long side in the first direction DR1, a short side in the second direction DR2, and a thickness in the third direction DR3. The length of the first upper damper 331 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to constitute the first upper damper 331 may be different from the material used to constitute the first lower damper 321. Since the first vibration absorption unit 301 includes the first lower damper 321 and the first upper damper 331, and the first lower damper 321 and the first upper damper 331 respectively comprise different materials, the first vibration absorption unit 301 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0099] The second vibration absorbing unit 302 may be disposed on the side surface of the connector 400. The second vibration absorbing unit 302 may be disposed in a plane between the connector 400 and the adhesive member 210. The second vibration absorbing unit 302 may be disposed in a plane between the connector 400 and the first vibration absorbing unit 301. The second vibration absorbing unit 302 may not overlap with the adhesive member 210 in the third direction DR3 or the thickness direction. The second vibration absorbing unit 302 may be spaced apart from the adhesive member 210 in the second direction DR2.

[0100] The second vibration absorption unit 302 may include at least one second support member 312, a second lower damper 322, and a second upper damper 332. At least one second support member 312 may be disposed on a side surface of the connector 400.

The second lower damper 322 may be disposed on the first side surface of the second support member 312, and the connector 400 may be disposed on the second side surface of the second support member 312 opposite to the first side surface. At least one second support member 312 may support the second lower damper 322 in a second direction DR2.

[0101] The second lower damper 322 may be disposed on the side surface of the second support member 312. The first side surface of the second support member 312 may support the second lower damper 322 in the second direction DR2, and the second side surface of the second support member 312 opposite to its first side surface may be supported by the connector 400. The second lower damper 322 may include a long side in the first direction DR1, a short side in the third direction DR3, and a thickness in the second direction DR2. The length of the second lower damper 322 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to constitute the second lower damper 322 may be different from the material used to constitute the second upper damper 332.

[0102] The second upper damper 332 may be disposed on the side surface of the second lower damper 322. The planar shape and dimensions of the second upper damper 332 may be substantially the same as those of the second lower damper 322; however, the planar shape of the second upper damper 332 is not limited thereto. The second upper damper 322 may include a long side in the first direction DR1, a short side in the third direction DR3, and a thickness in the second direction DR2. The length of the second upper damper 332 in the first direction DR1 may correspond to the length of the connector 400 in the first direction DR1. The material used to constitute the second upper damper 332 may be different from the material used to constitute the second lower damper 322. Since the second vibration absorption unit 302 includes the second lower damper 322 and the second upper damper 332, and the second lower damper 322 and the second upper damper 332 respectively include different materials, the second vibration absorption unit 302 can reduce the resonant frequency and absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400.

[0103] Each of the first support member 311 and the second support member 312 may include components for constituting... Figure 1 The material of the support member 310 disclosed herein. For example, the first support member 311 and the second support member 312 may comprise the same material.

[0106] Therefore, since the display device 10 includes a first vibration absorption unit 301 disposed on one surface of the circuit board 200 and a second vibration absorption unit 302 disposed on the side surface of the connector 400, the first vibration absorption unit 301 and the second vibration absorption unit 302 can absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400 and prevent the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping, thereby preventing damage to other adjacent display panels 100.

[0107] Figure 12 This is an image showing the intensity of vibration energy in a display device where the vibration absorption unit is omitted. Figure 13 It is an image showing the intensity of vibration energy in a display device including a vibration absorption unit.

[0108] Figure 12 The display device in the text corresponds to the display device used for comparison. Figure 13 The display device in the middle corresponds to Figure 1 The display device shown.

[0109] Figure 12 The display device 10 does not include a vibration absorption unit; therefore, vibrations in the display panel 100 can be transmitted to the connector 400 via the adhesive member 210 and the circuit board 200. For example, in the transfer process of multiple display panels 100, the maximum intensity of vibration energy transmitted to the connector 400 can be approximately 3.08 mm.

[0110] exist Figure 13 In this device, the display device 10 may include a vibration absorption unit 300, which may be disposed in the vibration transmission path of the display panel 100 and absorb vibrations transmitted to the connector 400. For example, in the transfer process of multiple display panels 100, the maximum intensity of vibration energy transmitted to the connector 400 may be approximately 2.17 mm. Therefore, when the display device 10 includes a first vibration absorption unit 300, the first vibration absorption unit 300 can absorb vibrations transmitted to the connector 400 and prevent the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping, thereby preventing damage to other adjacent display panels 100.

[0111] Figure 14This is a view showing the transmission process of multiple display devices.

[0112] Reference Figure 14 Multiple display devices 10 may be mounted on a transport device (not shown) and may be transported in a second direction DR2 or in a direction opposite to the second direction DR2. The transport device may include a support 20. The support 20 may be disposed between the display devices 10, spaced apart from each other at a certain interval, and may fix and support the display devices 10.

[0113] In the process of conveying the first display device 11 and the second display device 12 along the second direction DR2 or in the direction opposite to the second direction DR2, the display panel 100 of each of the first display device 11 and the second display device 12 may vibrate along the third direction DR3. The vibration of the display panel 100 in the third direction DR3 may be transmitted to the adhesive member 210 and the circuit board 200, and may also be transmitted to the vibration absorption unit 300 through the vibration of the circuit board 200 in the second direction DR2 or in the direction opposite to the second direction DR2. Since the vibration absorption unit 300 does not overlap with the adhesive member 210 in the thickness direction, the vibration of the display panel 100 in the third direction DR3 may not be transmitted directly through the adhesive member 210. The resonant frequency of the vibration absorption unit 300 may be equal to or lower than the resonant frequency of the rotation of the connector retainer 410.

[0114] In the process of conveying the first display device 11 and the second display device 12, when the vibration of the second display device 12 conveyed from the display panel 100 reaches the connector 400, the connector retainer 410 can rotate and damage the adjacent first display device 11. Therefore, when the vibration absorption unit 300 of the second display device 12 is provided in the vibration transmission path of the display panel 100, the vibration absorption unit 300 can absorb the vibration transmitted to the connector 400, and can prevent damage to other adjacent first display devices 11 by preventing the connector retainer 410 from rotating or flipping.
