Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a display device and a vehicle including the same, which blocks light leakage by preventing bending caused by deformation of a rear cover made of a high-strength composite material and thus ensures rigidity while reducing its thickness. Background Art

[0002] The central dashboard display of a vehicle can display various visual information about the vehicle. Such a display device can also be installed on the dashboard of the vehicle, which is located in front of the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, and provides various convenient information such as navigation, vehicle management and operation, Internet and entertainment.

[0003] The display device processes signals via a printed circuit board (PCB) located on a rear surface of the display panel to display images.

[0004] Typically, electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves between electronic components mounted on a printed circuit board, causing electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI causes electronic devices to malfunction or have a negative impact on the human body. In particular, as the operating frequency of electronic devices increases to a range of tens of MHz to several GHz, the EMI problem becomes more serious.

[0005] EMI noise refers to noise that is a noise problem caused by interference when electromagnetic waves generated from one electronic circuit, element or component are transmitted to another circuit, element or component.

[0006] Therefore, even a display device installed in a vehicle requires a means to solve the above-mentioned EMI noise problem.

[0007] In addition, the size of a display device mounted in a vehicle has recently become larger, and therefore, a device that reduces the thickness of the display device while securing the rigidity thereof is required.

[0008] However, when only the material of the rear cover is changed to ensure the rigidity of the display device, bending caused by deformation during cooling will occur due to the characteristics of injection molding, which leads to a dimensional error required to mount the rear cover on the display device.

[0009] Although the back cover is mounted on the display device, the back cover may be deformed due to external force applied to the display device.

[0010] As a result, such deformation of the rear cover may cause a gap to be formed in the coupling portion of the display device, and may also cause damage to the display device.

[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an advanced display device that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a display device and a vehicle including the same that substantially obviate one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.

[0013] The present disclosure provides a display device and a vehicle including the display device, and more particularly relates to a display device and a vehicle including the display device, wherein a plurality of slits are formed in a rear cover formed of a high-strength composite material to prevent bending caused by deformation of the rear cover and thereby block light leakage.

[0014] In addition, the present disclosure provides a display device and a vehicle including the same, which can ensure higher rigidity while reducing its thickness through a rear cover formed of a high-strength composite material, compared with a conventional display device.

[0015] The technical tasks that can be obtained from the present disclosure are not limited to the above technical tasks.

[0040] Now, a detailed description will be given according to the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same or equivalent components may be provided with the same reference numerals, and their description will not be repeated. As used herein, the suffixes "module" and "part" are added or used interchangeably to facilitate the preparation of this specification, and are not intended to imply a clear meaning or function. When describing the embodiments disclosed in this specification, in order not to blur the subject matter of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, the relevant known technologies may not be described in detail. In addition, it should be noted that the drawings are only used to easily understand the embodiments disclosed in this specification, and should not be interpreted as limiting the technical spirit disclosed in this specification. Therefore, the present disclosure should be interpreted as extending to any changes, equivalents and substitutes other than those specifically set forth in the drawings.

[0041] Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are generally used only to distinguish one element from another.

[0042] It should be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, the element may be directly connected to the other element, or intervening elements may also exist. On the contrary, it should be understood that when an element is referred to as being "directly connected" to another element, there are no intervening elements.

[0043] A singular expression may include a plural expression unless the expression has a meaning clearly different from the context.

[0044] The terms such as “including” or “having” used herein are intended to indicate the presence of features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof used in the following description, and thus it should be understood that the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more different features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof is not excluded.

[0045] Figure 1 1 is an exploded perspective view of a display device 10 generally installed in a vehicle.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the general display device 10 includes a display panel 11, a panel member 12 surrounding the side surface and the rear surface of the display panel 11, a printed circuit board (PCB) 13 connected to the display panel 11, a fixing bracket 14 on which the printed circuit board 13 is mounted and used to install the display device 10 to the vehicle, and a rear cover 15. At this point, the fixing bracket 14 maintains the rigidity of the display device 10 installed in the vehicle, is used for shielding and heat dissipation, and is generally made of aluminum. The rear cover 15 is generally made of plastic.

[0047] Such a general display device 10 is fixed to the vehicle via the fixing bracket 14 instead of the rear cover 15. Therefore, when an occupant applies external force to the display device 10, the external force applied to the remaining components except the fixing bracket 14 may damage the display device 10. For example, when an occupant stands up while grabbing the display device 10 or pulling the display device 10, the remaining components except the fixing bracket 14 fixed to the vehicle may move accordingly, resulting in damage to the display device 10.

[0048] In addition, as described above, the display device 10 processes signals via the printed circuit board 13 to display images. The electronic device emits electromagnetic waves between the electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board 13, causing electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI causes electronic device failure or has a negative impact on the human body. In particular, as the operating frequency of the electronic device increases to a range of tens of MHz to several GHz, the EMI problem becomes more serious.

[0049] EMI noise refers to noise that is a noise problem caused by interference when electromagnetic waves generated from one electronic circuit, element or component are transmitted to another circuit, element or component.

[0050] Therefore, EMI noise generated by electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board 13 mounted on the aluminum fixing bracket 14 may be directly transferred to the display panel 11 , thereby causing malfunction of the display device 10 .

[0051] In addition, the display device 10 including the fixing bracket 14 is disadvantageous in slimness. Since the display device 10 installed in a vehicle has recently become larger, the display device 10 including the fixing bracket 14 is disadvantageous in thickness, rigidity, and weight.

[0052] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] The display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a display panel 110, a fixing plate 120, a printed circuit board 130, and a back cover 140. In this regard, the fixing plate 120 may surround the side surface and the back surface of the display panel 110, and may have an opening 121 defined therein. The opening 121 may expose a portion of the back surface of the display panel 110. In addition, the printed circuit board 130 may be connected to the display panel 110 and disposed on a portion of the back surface of the display panel 110 exposed by the opening 121. In addition, the back cover 140 may cover the fixing plate 120 and the printed circuit board 130, and may include a conductive material.

[0054] That is to say, referring to the above Figure 1 Unlike the conventional display device 10 described above, the display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may omit the fixing bracket 14, and the back cover 140 may include a conductive material instead of plastic. Therefore, EMI noise caused by electromagnetic waves emitted between electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board 130 may be reduced, and the thickness may be reduced compared to the conventional display device 10. Hereinafter, the display device 100 of the present disclosure will be described in more detail.

[0055] Figure 3 is a front view of a back cover 140 of the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4A and Figure 4B is a view showing a first protrusion 141 in the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating a second protrusion 142 in the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 1 is a diagram showing another embodiment of shielding electromagnetic waves by the display device 100 of the present disclosure. Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating a coupling structure of a fixing plate 120 and a back cover 140 in a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4A and Figure 4B, the display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first protrusion 141 that contacts the printed circuit board 130. In this regard, the first protrusion 141 may contact the printed circuit board 130 and serve to fix the printed circuit board 130 connected to the display panel 110. In addition, the first protrusion 141 may contact the printed circuit board 130 and provide a ground voltage of the printed circuit board 130 to the back cover 140.

[0057] That is, the first protrusion 141 may be used to fix the printed circuit board 130 connected to the display panel 110 to the printed circuit board 130 of the present disclosure. Figure 1 In the display device 100 of the fixing bracket 14, and at the same time, the first protrusion 141 can contact the printed circuit board 130 and provide the ground voltage of the printed circuit board 130 to the back cover 140, thereby expanding the ground area and reducing EMI noise.

[0058] More specifically, Figure 4A The shape of the first protrusion 141 is shown, and Figure 4B FIG. 1 shows the shape of the first protrusion 141 that contacts the printed circuit board 130. Figure 4A As shown, the lower side of the first protrusion 141 may have a flat shape to contact and fix the printed circuit board 130, and may serve as a barrier to prevent EMI generated from the printed circuit board 130 from spreading. In addition, the upper side of the first protrusion 141 may have a curved shape to expand a grounding area by providing a ground voltage of the printed circuit board 130 to the back cover 140.

[0059] Therefore, if Figure 4B As shown, the first protrusion 141 can contact the printed circuit board 130 and fix the printed circuit board 130 connected to the display panel 110, and at the same time, the first protrusion 141 provides the ground voltage of the printed circuit board 130 to the back cover 140, thereby expanding the ground area and reducing EMI noise.

[0060] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating a second protrusion 142 in a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present disclosure, the back cover 140 may include the second protrusion 142, and the second protrusion 142 may be inserted into the fixing plate 120 and spaced apart from the display panel 110.

[0061] In other words, the second protrusion 142 can be inserted into the fixing plate 120 to Figure 1 The fixing bracket 14 in the present disclosure strengthens the coupling structure of the display device 100 , and at the same time, the second protrusion 142 may be spaced apart from the display panel 110 to prevent damage to the display device 100 by an external force of an occupant as described above.

[0062] In addition, refer to Figures 3 to 5 In the display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the back cover 140 may include a first protrusion 141 and a second protrusion 142, and the first protrusion 141 may include a plurality of first protrusions spaced apart from each other along the perimeter of the printed circuit board 130. In addition, the second protrusion 142 may include a plurality of second protrusions spaced apart from each other along the perimeter of the fixing plate 120. In other words, when a plurality of first protrusions 141 and a plurality of second protrusions 142 are formed, the coupling structure of the components of the display device 100 of the present disclosure may be enhanced, and EMI noise may also be effectively reduced.

[0063] Figure 6 1 is a diagram showing another embodiment of shielding electromagnetic waves via the display device 100 of the present disclosure. The display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a conductive member 150 for shielding electromagnetic waves between the printed circuit board 130 and the back cover 140. In addition, such a conductive member 150 may shield electromagnetic waves generated between electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board 130, thereby reducing EMI noise.

[0064] Figure 7 1 is a diagram showing a coupling structure of a fixing plate 120 and a rear cover 140 in a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fixing plate 120 may include ribs 122 protruding toward the rear cover 140 at both sides of a rear surface thereof. In addition, the rear cover 140 may include respective coupling grooves 143 into which each rib 122 is inserted.

[0065] exist Figure 1 In the case of the general display device 10 shown, the panel member 12 and the rear cover 15 generally include a hook-shaped locking member and are coupled to each other via the locking member. However, in this case, when the occupant applies an external force to the display panel 11 to operate the display device 10, light leakage may occur as a gap appears between the display panel 11 and the panel member 12 due to weak support against the external force.

[0066] Therefore, in the display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, if Figure 7 As shown, the rib 122 formed on the fixing plate 120 is inserted into the coupling groove 143 of the rear cover 140, so that even when the occupant applies external force to the display panel 110, the rear cover 140 can stably support the display device 100, thereby solving problems such as the above-mentioned light leakage.

[0067] In addition, refer to Figure 6, the back cover 140 in the display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may contain a high-strength composite material. In addition, the back cover 140 may include a plurality of hooking protrusions 144 formed on a rear surface thereof.

[0068] This is because when Figure 1 When an occupant applies external force to the display device 10 while the illustrated general display device 10 is fixed to the vehicle via the fixing bracket 14 , the display device 10 may be damaged by the external force applied to the remaining components except for the fixing bracket 14 .

[0069] On the other hand, since the display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure omits Figure 1 The fixing bracket 14 in the back cover 140 and the hook lock protrusion 144 having a high-strength composite material including a rigidity greater than that of a plastic material are directly fixed to the structure of the vehicle, so the problem of damage caused by external force applied to the above-mentioned display device 100 can be solved.

[0070] Figure 8 is a view showing a plurality of slits 145 formed in the back cover 140 in the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 It is shown Figure 8 Magnified view of area "A".

[0071] In the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the back cover 140 including the high-strength composite material may include a plurality of slits 145 formed at the front surface of the back cover. Here, the plurality of slits 145 may be spaced apart from each other in the first direction (X-axis direction).

[0072] As mentioned above, although the Figure 1 The structure of the fixing bracket 14 is different from that of the rear cover 140 , but the rear cover 140 made of a high-strength composite material having a more excellent rigidity than a plastic material may be formed by injection molding.

[0073] However, due to the characteristics of injection molding, bending caused by deformation of the back cover occurs during cooling, and thus an error may occur in the coupling size when combining the display device 100. Even when the display device 100 is coupled to the undeformed back cover, the back cover 140 may be deformed due to an external force applied to the display device 100 thereafter. As a result, a gap may occur in the coupling portion of the display device 100, so that light leakage may occur and damage to the display device 100 may also occur.

[0074] Therefore, the display device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may solve the above-mentioned problem by forming a plurality of slits 145 in the back cover 140 .

[0075] The display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be elongated in a first direction (X-axis direction) corresponding to the longitudinal direction. Therefore, a plurality of slits 145 can be formed at the front surface of the back cover 140 to be spaced apart from each other in the first direction (X-axis direction), thereby effectively preventing the back cover 140 from being bent due to such deformation.

[0076] Here, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In the display device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of each of the plurality of slits 145 becomes smaller (i.e., tapers) in the second direction (Y-axis direction) perpendicular to the first direction (X-axis direction), and the front surface of the back cover 140 can be divided into a plurality of parts by the plurality of slits 145. That is, Fig. 9 The width (w2) can be smaller than the width (w1).

[0077] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Since the printed circuit board 130 is disposed below the display panel 110, the back cover 140 covering the printed circuit board 130 may have a convex side shape that becomes more convex in the direction from the upper side to the second direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, as the back cover 140 moves upward, the back cover 140 may be more susceptible to bending caused by deformation.

[0078] Therefore, in order to more effectively prevent deformation of the back cover 140 , the display device 100 may make the width of the slit 145 on the upper side of the back cover 140 greater than the width of the slit 145 on the lower side of the back cover 140 .

[0079] Fig. 10A and Fig. 10B 1 is a view showing a plurality of slits 145 formed between a plurality of screw fastening grooves 146 used in the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0080] Reference Fig. 10A and Fig. 10B , the back cover 140 of the display device 100 may include a plurality of screw fastening grooves 146 formed to be spaced apart from each other in the first direction (X-axis direction). The back cover 140 may be fixed to the display device 100 by fastening screws passing through the plurality of screw fastening grooves 146. Figure 2 The fixing plate 120 is shown.

[0081] Here, the intervals between the plurality of screw fastening grooves 146 spaced apart from each other in the first direction (X-axis direction) may vary depending on whether the display device 100 is a flat type or a curved type.

[0082] For example, Fig. 10A FIG. 1 shows a back cover 140 applied to a curved display device, and FIG. Fig. 10BThe back cover 140 applied to a flat-type display device is shown. At this time, the back cover 140 to be applied to a curved-type display device may be more susceptible to bending caused by deformation due to a decrease in distance from both ends thereof rather than a central portion thereof due to curvature.

[0083] Therefore, the interval (d1) between the screw fastening grooves 146 on both sides of the rear cover 140 may be smaller than the interval (d2) between the screw fastening grooves 146 at the center of the rear cover 140. In the case where the rear cover 140 is applied to a flat plate type, the interval (d3) between the screw fastening grooves 146 may be the same.

[0084] Preferably, if Fig. 10A and Fig. 10B As shown, the plurality of slits 145 used in the display device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be substantially formed at both sides of the rear cover 140. Therefore, the plurality of slits 145 include first and second slits 1451 and 1452 located at opposite ends of the rear cover 140, respectively.

[0085] like Fig. 10A and Fig. 10B The reason for forming the slit 145 as shown is not only to consider the appearance quality of the display device 100 that can be directly felt by the occupants (or passengers) of the vehicle, but also to consider the possibility that the display device may be more susceptible to bending caused by deformation of the rear cover 140, which has a higher degree of deformation in the direction from the center point to both sides of the rear cover 140.

[0086] In addition, if Fig. 10B As shown, a plurality of slits 145 may be further formed between a plurality of screw fastening grooves 146 so that the slits 145 may effectively correspond to an extension of the display device 100 extending in a first direction (X-axis direction) of the display device 100, thereby preventing bending caused by deformation of the back cover 140.

[0087] Fig.11A , Fig. 11B and Fig. 11C 1 and 2 are views showing various shapes of the slits 145 formed in the back cover 140 in the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0088] In the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the slit 145 formed in the back cover 140 may include At least one of a "W" shape, a "V" shape, and a "W" shape.

[0089] Fig.11A , Fig. 11B and Fig. 11C 140 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional shape viewed from the top of the rear cover 140. In more detail, Fig.11AA "C" shaped slot 145 is shown, Fig. 11B A "V" shaped slit 145 is shown, and Fig. 11C A "W" shaped slot 145 is shown.

[0090] Configuration Fig.11A , Fig. 11B and Fig. 11C The reason for the structure of is that various shapes of the slits 145 are applied to the back cover 140 in response to various materials of the back cover 140 including a high-strength composite material or various shapes of the display device 100 .

[0091] For example, Fig.11A of The slit 145 may be most commonly used according to the simplification of the mold structure for injection molding of the rear cover 140. In addition, when the molten resin for injection molding passes through Fig. 11B The V-shaped slit 145 and Fig. 11C The W-shaped slit 145 can improve the fluidity of the molten resin during injection, thereby improving the quality of the injection-molded back cover.

[0092] Specifically, the slit 145 of the display device 100 may further include a curved surface 145a protruding forward (in the Z-axis direction). Fig. 11C When the curved surface 145a shown in FIG. 1 is formed, the rigidity of the rear cover 140 can be well maintained even if an occupant (or passenger) of the vehicle applies an external force to the display device 100. As a result, the above-described slit structure can more effectively prevent damage to the display device 100.

[0093] In addition, refer to Figures 8 to 10A and Fig. 10B , the upper side of the rear cover 140 visible to the eyes of the occupant may be configured such that the slit 145 is formed as Fig.11A , Fig. 11B and Fig. 11C The slit 145 occupies a predetermined area in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the rear cover 140 as shown. In addition, the lower side of the rear cover 140 that is not visible to the eyes of the occupant may also be formed so that the slit 145 can penetrate the rear cover 140 in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the rear cover 140. Therefore, the above structure is advantageous in ensuring the rigidity of the rear cover 140 while taking into account the appearance quality of the display device 100 that can be directly felt by the vehicle occupant.

[0094] In summary, the display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure and the vehicle including the display device can form a plurality of slits in the rear cover made of the high-strength composite material to prevent bending caused by deformation of the rear cover, thereby preventing light leakage. In addition, compared with the conventional display device, the display device can be formed to have a smaller thickness by the rear cover made of the high-strength composite material, thereby ensuring the rigidity of the rear cover.

[0095] As is apparent from the above description, the display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may form a plurality of slits in a back cover formed of a high-strength composite material, may prevent bending caused by deformation of the back cover, and may thus block light leakage.

[0096] Furthermore, compared with a conventional display device, the display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may reduce its thickness through a back cover formed of a high-strength composite material while ensuring higher rigidity thereof.
