[0035] In the following description, an example of display panel 110 using an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel will be used, but the display panel 110 applicable to this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0036] The display panel 110 forms the front surface of the display device 100 and can display images forward. The display panel 110 outputs images by dividing the image into multiple pixels and adjusting the color, brightness, and saturation for each pixel. The display panel 110 can be divided into active areas for displaying images and inactive areas for not displaying images. The display panel 110 can generate light corresponding to red, green, or blue colors according to control signals.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 The composite material panel 130 may include a core material 131, a front skin 132, and a rear skin 133. The core material 131, the front skin 132, and the rear skin 133 may be connected to each other. The composite material panel 130 may be referred to as a fiber composite panel 130, a fiber composite sheet 130, a composite material sheet 130, a composite fiber material 130, a frame 130, a module cover 130, or a bottom cover 130.

[0038] The front skin 132 may form the front surface of the material composite plate 130. The rear skin 133 may form the rear surface of the material composite plate 130. The front skin 132 and the rear skin 133 may be made of metallic material. For example, the thickness of the front skin 132 and the rear skin 133 may be 0.2 to 0.5 mm.

[0039] For example, the front skin 132 and the rear skin 133 may be made of aluminum Al. As another example, the front skin 132 and the rear skin 133 may be made of galvanized steel sheet.

[0040] Core material 131 may be located between front skin 132 and rear skin 133. Core material 131 may include fibers. Core material 131 may be formed of composite materials. Core material 131 may include main fibers and bonding fibers. Bonding fibers may be mixed between the main fibers.

[0041] A hot melt sheet may be located between the front skin 132 and the core material 131. Additionally, a hot melt sheet may be located between the rear skin 133 and the core material 131. The hot melt sheet may be a thin film. For example, the hot melt sheet may be a film with a thickness of 50 micrometers or more, such as EVA, acrylic, or polyurethane. The core material 131 and the hot melt sheet may be laminated to the front skin 132 and the rear skin 133 at a high temperature (e.g., about 190 to 200°C) for more than one minute.

[0042] Therefore, the composite material 130 is lightweight and has excellent heat dissipation performance. In addition, the composite material 130 can improve the bending stiffness and / or torsional stiffness of the display device.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The composite material 130 can be manufactured by using multiple rollers to press the front skin 132 and the rear skin 133 onto the core material 131. This process can be called a roll-to-roll process.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 According to the rotation of the pressure roller Ra, which drives the motor, the front skin 132 can be unwound from the front roller Da, the rear skin 133 can be unwound from the rear roller Db, and the core material 131 can be moved by the feed roller Rd. Furthermore, the first adhesive 134a for attaching the front skin 132 to the core material 131 can be unwound from the first roller Dc. Furthermore, the second adhesive 134b for attaching the rear skin 133 to the core material 131 can be unwound from the second roller Db. In this case, the front skin 132, the first adhesive 134a, the core material 131, the second adhesive 134b, and the rear skin 133 are stacked in the above order and can be guided towards the oven Ov by the guide roller Rc. The adhesives 134a and 134b can be hot melt sheets 134a and 134b.

[0045] The first and second adhesives 134a and 134b are melted in an oven Ov, and the front skin 132 and rear skin 133 can be respectively bonded to the core material 131. For example, the melting point of the first and second adhesives 134a and 134b can be about 150°C, and the ambient temperature of the oven Ov can be about 200°C. For example, the peel strength of the first and second adhesives 134a and 134b can be about 10 kgf or more.

[0046] The front skin 132, core material 131, and rear skin 133, passing through the oven Ov, are guided to the pressure roller Rb by the rotation of the pressure roller Ra and pressed by the pressure roller Rb. Therefore, the bonding force between the front skin 132, core material 131, and rear skin 133 can be further increased. After passing through the pressure roller Ra, the interconnected front skin 132, core material 131, and rear skin 133 can be cut by the cutter Ct to manufacture a material composite plate 130 of a certain size.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 The pressure roller Rb or the clamping roller Ra can contact the outer surfaces of the front skin 132 and the rear skin 133, respectively. When the pressure roller Rb or the clamping roller Ra rotates, the material composite plate 130 can move along the longitudinal direction (i.e., the left-right direction) of the core material 131. At this time, the front skin 132 and the rear skin 133 can be connected sequentially along the longitudinal direction of the core material 131 from one end of the core material 131 to the other end.

[0048] Furthermore, the front skin 132 and rear skin 133 of the material composite panel 130 can be formed flat. That is, by forming the rear surface of the rear skin 133, which forms the rear surface of the display device 100, flattening the rear surface of the rear skin 133 makes it easier to perform additional work such as painting or attaching sheets for aesthetic purposes. Alternatively, the flat rear skin 133 can form the rear surface of the display device 100 itself.

[0049] In addition to the above references Figure 3 and Figure 4 In addition to forming the front skin 132 and rear skin 133 into a flat state using the roll-to-roll process, the core material 131 and rear skin 133 can also be connected by stacking the front skin 132, core material 131 and rear skin 133 in sequence and then connecting them.

[0050] Reference Figure 5 The core material 131 may include a main core material 131a and an adhesive core material 131b. The main core material 131a may include fibers made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material. The adhesive core material 131b may include fibers made of acrylic material. The adhesive core material 131b may be referred to as acrylic coating 131b.

[0051] The front skin 132 may comprise aluminum Al material and may be bonded to the core material 131b via a first hot melt adhesive 134a. The first hot melt adhesive 134a may be referred to as a first hot melt film 134a.

[0052] The rear skin 133 may be made of aluminum Al and may be bonded to the main core material 131a by a second hot melt adhesive 134b. The second hot melt adhesive 134b may be referred to as a second hot melt film 134b.

[0053] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The material composite plate 130 may include a flat portion 130P, a receiving portion 137, and an outer edge portion 135. The outer edge portion 135 may be formed around the periphery of the flat portion 130P and may form the edge of the material composite plate 130. A first outer edge portion 135a may be formed along the upper side of the flat portion 130P, and a second outer edge portion 135b may be formed along the right side of the flat portion 130P. A third outer edge portion 135c may be formed along the lower side of the flat portion 130P, and a fourth outer edge portion 135d may be formed along the left side of the flat portion 130P. The outer edge portion 135 may be formed by pressing the front surface of the flat portion 130P rearward. The front skin 132 of the outer edge portion 135 may form a step D5 that is lower than the front skin 132 of the flat portion 130P. The thickness T1 of the flat portion 130P may be greater than the thickness T4 of the outer edge portion 135. A curve may be formed on the lower side of the flat portion 130P.

[0054] A receiving portion 137 may be formed in the third outer edge portion 135c, adjacent to the lower side of the flat portion 130P. Multiple receiving portions 137 may be provided. A first receiving portion 137a may be located between the first cable hole 136a and the second short side SS2. A second receiving portion 137b may be located between the second cable hole 136b and the first short side SS1. The first receiving portion 137a may be connected to the second receiving portion 137b. The receiving portion 137 may be formed by pressing the front surface of the third outer edge portion 135c rearward. The front skin 132 of the receiving portion 137 may form a step D6 that decreases rearward from the front skin 132 of the third outer edge portion 135c. The rear skin 133 of the receiving portion 137 may form a step D2 that increases from the rear skin 133 of the third outer edge portion 135c. For example, the height of step D6 may be less than the height of step D2. For example, the thickness T2 of the receiving portion 137 may be less than the thickness T1 of the flat portion 130P, but greater than the thickness T4 of the third outer edge portion 135c.

[0055] Cable hole 136 can be formed as front skin 132 through receiving portion 137 (see Figure 2 ) and rear skin 133 (see Figure 2 Cable holes 136 may be formed in the receiving portion 137 and / or the third outer edge portion 135c, while adjacent to the lower side of the flat portion 130P.

The inner frames 210 and 230 may be referred to as pressed frames 210 and 230 or rigid lines 210 and 230. The inner frames 210 and 230 may be formed by pressing the front skin 132 and / or rear skin 133 of the material composite panel 130 and compressing the core material 131 (see...). Figure 2 It is formed by ).

The first front horizontal line 214 may form the upper side of the front inner line 210. The third front horizontal line 213 may form the lower side of the front inner line 210. The second front horizontal line 212 may be located between the first front horizontal line 211 and the third front horizontal line 213. The first front vertical line 214 may connect one end of the first front horizontal line 211, one end of the second front horizontal line 212, and one end of the third front horizontal line 213. The second front vertical line 215 may connect the other end of the first front horizontal line 211, the other end of the second front horizontal line 212, and the other end of the third front horizontal line 213. For example, the first distance L1 between the first front horizontal line 211 and the second front horizontal line 212 may be less than the second distance L2 between the second front horizontal line 212 and the third front horizontal line 213.

[0061] Node holes 220 can be formed at the points where the front horizontal lines 211, 212, 213 intersect with the front vertical lines 214, 215. Node holes 220 can be formed by penetrating the front skin 132, core material 131, and rear skin 133 of the composite material plate 130.

The second rear vertical line 235 may connect the other end of the first rear horizontal line 231, the other end of the second rear horizontal line 232, and the other end of the third rear horizontal line 233. For example, the third distance L3 between the first rear horizontal line 231 and the second rear horizontal line 232 may be less than the fourth distance L4 between the second rear horizontal line 232 and the third rear horizontal line 233.

[0063] Node holes 220 can be formed at the points where the rear horizontal lines 231, 232, 233 intersect with the rear vertical lines 234, 235. Node holes 220 can be formed by penetrating the front skin 132, core material 131, and rear skin 133 of the composite material plate 130.

The fifth portion 145 may extend along the right side of the material composite plate 130 and may cover the right side. The fifth portion 145 may form a second short side SS2 (see...). Figure 1 ).

[0075] Therefore, the side frame 140 can cover the lateral side of the material composite panel 130. That is, the core material 131 of the material composite panel 130 can be shielded by the side frame 140 and not exposed to the outside.

[0076] Reference Figure 10 The display panel 110 may be located in front of the composite material panel 130.
