Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a display device housing that protects the appearance of a large-screen display device while providing stable placement. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the information society, the demand for display devices has increased in various forms. Correspondingly, in recent years, display devices have included liquid crystal display (LCD), field emission display (FED), plasma display panel (PDP), and electroluminescence device.

[0003] In addition, displays are becoming larger and the functions of display devices are becoming more diversified.

[0004] For example, in the case of a tablet, it has functions such as data and voice communication, taking photos and videos via camera, recording audio, playing music files via speaker system, and outputting images or videos to the display. Additionally, tablets can also include video game functionality or function as a multimedia player.

[0005] As display devices become more versatile, the time spent using them will increase. Users may find it tiring to hold them for extended periods, or they may need to stand the display device upright without holding it in order to enjoy the images displayed on it while doing other things.

[0006] Furthermore, a housing for holding a display device is being developed for this purpose. Such a housing is constructed using a magnetic assembly / disassembly method. For example, it utilizes the magnetic force between a magnet located on one side of the housing and a magnet located on the foldable cover. This improves portability and makes it easier for users to place the display device.

[0007] However, as mentioned above, due to the increasing size of displays, the simple assembly and disassembly methods using magnets for existing housings have limitations in terms of adhesion. This is because as display devices become larger, the size of the housing must also increase, thus increasing its weight.

[0008] Furthermore, to properly support the weight of the display device, the casing's adhesion must be ensured. Otherwise, the casing may fail to support the weight of the display device and detach, leading to damage to the display device.

[0009] Therefore, in order to protect the appearance of large-screen display devices while placing them stably, means are needed to ensure the adhesion of the casing. Utility Model Content

[0050] When a constituent element is referred to as "connected" or "linked" to another constituent element, it should be understood that it may be directly connected to or linked to that other constituent element, but there may also be other constituent elements between them. Conversely, if a constituent element is referred to as "directly connected" or "directly linked" to another constituent element, it should be understood that there are no other constituent elements between them.

[0051] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, singular expressions include plural expressions.

[0052] In this application, terms such as "comprising" or "having" are used only to specify the presence of features, numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, components or combinations thereof described in the specification, and are not intended to exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features or numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, components or combinations thereof.

[0053] On the other hand, the display device described in this specification is, for example, an intelligent display device that adds computer support to its broadcast reception function, or adds internet functionality while remaining faithful to the broadcast reception function. It may have more user-friendly interfaces such as a handwriting input device, a touchscreen, or a spatial remote control. Furthermore, with support for wired or wireless internet functionality, it can connect to the internet and a computer to perform functions such as email, web browsing, banking, or gaming. For these diverse functions, a standardized general-purpose operating system can be used.

[0054] Therefore, the display device described in this invention can freely add or remove diverse applications within a general-purpose OS kernel, thus enabling the execution of a variety of user-friendly functions. More specifically, the display device can be, for example, a network TV, HBBTV (Hybrid Broadcast / Broadband TV), a smart TV, etc., and in some cases, it can also be applied to smartphones.

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

[0056] The broadcast receiver 110 may include a tuner unit 111 and a demodulator unit 112.

[0057] On the other hand, unlike the attached drawings, the display device 100 may only include the external device interface 171 and the network interface 172, which are part of the broadcast receiver 110, the external device interface 171, and the network interface 172. That is, the display device 100 may also exclude the broadcast receiver 110.

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

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

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

[0061] On the other hand, the tuner unit 111 can be equipped with multiple tuners to receive broadcast signals from multiple channels. Alternatively, it can be a single tuner that simultaneously receives broadcast signals from multiple channels.

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

[0063] The streaming signal output from the demodulator unit 112 can be input to the control unit 180. After performing demultiplexing, video / audio signal processing, etc., the control unit 180 can output video through the display module 150 and output audio through the audio output unit 160.

[0065] The control unit 180 can control the display device 100 to check its status based on information collected from the detection unit 120, notify the user when a problem occurs, or adjust itself, thereby enabling the display device 100 to maintain its optimal state.

[0066] Furthermore, the content, image quality, and size of the image provided to the display module 150 can be controlled differently based on the illuminance of the audience or surroundings detected in the detection unit 120, thereby providing an optimal audiovisual environment. With the advancement of smart TVs, the functions integrated into the display device 100 have increased, and the detection unit 120 has also increased accordingly.

[0067] The input unit 130 may be located on one side of the main body of the display device 100. For example, the input unit 130 may include a touchpad, physical buttons, etc. The input unit 130 can receive various user commands related to the operation of the display device 100 and can send control signals corresponding to the input commands to the control unit 180.

[0068] Recently, as the size of the bezel of the display device 100 has decreased, the number of display devices 100 with minimized physical button-shaped input sections 130 that are exposed to the outside has increased. Instead, the smallest physical buttons are located on the back or side, and user input can be received via a touchpad or the user input interface 173 described later, through a remote control device 200.

[0069] The storage unit 140 can store programs for processing and controlling various signals in the control unit 180, and can also store image, voice, or data signals for signal processing. For example, the storage unit 140 stores applications designed for performing diverse tasks that can be processed by the control unit 180, and can selectively provide a portion of the stored applications when requested by the control unit 180.

[0070] The programs stored in the storage unit 140 are not particularly limited as long as they can be executed by the control unit 180. The storage unit 140 can also perform functions for temporarily storing image, voice, or data signals received from external devices via the external device interface unit 171. The storage unit 140 can store information about a specified broadcast channel through channel memory functions such as channel mapping.

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

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

[0082] The external device interface section 171 can send or receive data with the connected external device. For this purpose, the external device interface section 171 may include an A / V input / output section (not shown).

[0083] The external device interface unit 171 can connect to external devices such as DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), Blu-ray, game devices, cameras, camcorders, computers (laptops), and set-top boxes via wired / wireless connections, and can also perform input / output operations with external devices.

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

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

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

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

[0088] The user input interface unit 173 can transmit user input signals to the control unit 180, or transmit signals from the control unit 180 to the user. For example, it can send / receive user input signals such as power on / off, channel selection, and screen settings from the remote control device 200, or transmit user input signals input from local keys (not shown) such as power button, channel button, volume button, and setting value to the control unit 180, or transmit user input signals input from a sensor unit (not shown) that detects user gestures to the control unit 180, or send signals from the control unit 180 to the sensor unit.

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

[0090] The control unit 180 can demultiplex the streams input through the tuner unit 111, demodulator unit 112, external device interface unit 171, or network interface unit 172, or process the demultiplexed signals to generate and output video or voice output.

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

[0092] The voice signal processed in the control unit 180 can be output to the audio output unit 160. Additionally, the voice signal processed in the control unit 180 can be input to an external output device via the external device interface unit 171. Although Figure 2 Although not shown in the figure, the control unit 180 may include a demultiplexing unit, an image processing unit, etc.

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

[0094] Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the display device 100 according to user commands input through the user input interface unit 173 or internal programs. On the other hand, the control unit 180 can control the display module 150 to display images. At this time, the images displayed in the display module 150 can be still images or videos, and can be 2D images or 3D images.

[0095] On the other hand, the control unit 180 can display a specified 2D object in the image displayed in the display module 150. For example, the object can be at least one of the following: a linked web page (news, magazine, etc.), an EPG (Electronic Program Guide), various menus, widgets, icons, still images, videos, and text.

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

[0097] For example, the control unit 180 can modulate the image signal using amplitude shift keying (ASK) and transmit it via a wireless communication module.

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

[0099] Therefore, even without using unique identifiers such as MAC addresses (Media Access Control Address) or complex communication protocols such as TCP / IP, the display device 100 can easily send and receive signals with other adjacent image display devices.

[0100] On the other hand, the display device 100 may also include a camera unit (not shown). The camera unit can capture images of the user.

On the other hand, the camera unit can be embedded in the display device 100 on the upper part of the display module 150 or separately configured. The image information captured by the camera unit can be input to the control unit 180.

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

[0102] The control unit 180 can detect the user's gestures based on images captured by the camera unit or each signal or combination thereof detected by the sensor unit.

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

[0104] Specifically, the power supply unit 190 may be equipped with a converter (not shown) that converts AC power to DC power and a DC / DC converter (not shown) that converts the level of DC power.

[0105] On the other hand, the power supply unit 190 serves to receive power from the outside and distribute power to the various components. The power supply unit 190 can supply AC power by being directly connected to an external power source, and may include a power supply unit 190 in a rechargeable form containing a battery.

[0106] In the former case, it is used with a wired cable, making it difficult to move or limiting its range of movement. In the latter case, although it can move freely, it increases the weight corresponding to the battery, making it larger in size. In order to charge, it needs to be directly connected to the power cable or combined with the charging placement part (not shown) of the power supply at a specified time.

[0107] The charging unit can be connected to the display device via exposed terminals, or the built-in battery can be charged if it is approached wirelessly.

[0108] The remote control device 200 can transmit user input to the user input interface 173. For this purpose, the remote control device 200 can use Bluetooth, radio frequency communication, infrared communication, UWB (Ultra-wideband), ZigBee, etc. Furthermore, the remote control device 200 can receive image, voice, or data signals output from the user input interface 173 and display or output them via voice on the remote control device 200.

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

[0110] on the other hand, Figure 1 The block diagram of the display device 100 shown is merely a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, and the constituent elements of the block diagram may be combined, added or omitted according to the design structure of the actual display device 100.

[0111] That is, as needed, two or more constituent elements can be combined into one constituent element, or one constituent element can be subdivided into two or more constituent elements. Furthermore, the functions performed in each block are used to illustrate embodiments of this utility model, and their specific actions or devices do not limit the scope of the claims of this utility model.

[0112] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the foldable cover 330 of the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention folded in a first state. Figure 4 This is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention with the foldable cover 330 in the display device housing 300 unfolded. Figure 5 Observing from the bottom Figure 4 The diagram of region A. Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating a foldable cover 330 in a display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, Figure 7 It is shown in Figure 5 The figure shows the fixing bracket 340 that is attached to the side cover 320 in area A.

[0113] Simultaneously refer to Figures 2 to 7The display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention may include a back cover 310, a side cover 320, a foldable cover 330, and a fixing bracket 340.

[0114] Here, the back cover 310 can cover through Figure 1 The back of the display module 150 is described. Furthermore, the side cover 320 surrounds the sides of the display module 150, and a fastening groove 321 is formed on one side. Additionally, the foldable cover 330 has an insertion portion 331 at one end for receiving the fastening groove 321 of the side cover 320. A fixing bracket 340 can be attached to one side of the side cover 320. Moreover, the fixing bracket 340 may be provided with a first magnet 341, one side of which abuts against the side of the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 that receives the fastening groove 321.

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

[0116] As described above, the display device housing 300 of one embodiment of this utility model aims to protect the appearance of large-screen display devices while providing stable placement as displays become larger. This is because, like existing housings, the simple assembly and disassembly method using magnets has limitations in adhesion.

[0117] Simultaneously refer to Figure 4 The larger the display, the larger the size of the foldable cover 330 should be. Therefore, the weight of the foldable cover 330 will inevitably increase. As a result, sufficient adhesion needs to be ensured in order to stably attach the foldable cover 330 to the side cover 320.

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

[0119] At this time, the first magnet 341 located on the fixed bracket 340 and the second magnet 332 located on the insertion part 331 can form a magnetic force. In this case, the gap between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 is only separated by the thickness of the foldable cover 330. Therefore, the gap between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 can be minimized.

[0120] As a result, compared with the simple assembly and disassembly method of the conventional housing using magnets, the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention can minimize the gap between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 through the insertion structure of the foldable cover 330, thus facilitating the assurance of the magnetic force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332. Moreover, this also ensures sufficient adhesion of the foldable cover 330.

[0121] Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the first magnet 341 located in the fixed bracket 340 within the display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 Is for Figure 4 A 3D view of region B. Figure 10 This is a diagram showing a fixing rib 311 formed in the back cover 310 of a display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, Figure 11 This is a diagram showing the second state in which the foldable cover 330 of the display device housing 300 of an embodiment of the present invention is folded.

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

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

[0124] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the display device housing 300 minimizes the gap between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, and increases the area for forming magnetic force, thereby improving the adhesion of the foldable cover 330. Moreover, this minimizes the number of magnets required to attach the foldable cover 330 to the side cover 320, thereby achieving cost savings.

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

[0126] In this embodiment of the present invention, the display device housing 300 can be stably fixed to the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330, which is introduced into the fastening groove 321, by means of the fixing rib 311. Moreover, the fixing rib 311 can prevent foreign objects that may flow into the fastening groove 321 after the foldable cover 330 is inserted.

[0127] In addition, refer to Figure 10 In one embodiment of the present invention, the display device housing 300 may have a fixing rib 311 that protrudes and slopes towards the inner side from one side of the back cover 310. Furthermore, the fixing ribs 311 may be formed in a plurality of spaced apart from each other and arranged side by side.

[0128] This is so that the user can easily separate the foldable cover 330 after it has been secured. That is, by means of the inclined fixing rib 311, a space can be formed between one side of the back cover 310 and the insertion part 331 of the foldable cover 330, and the user can easily separate the insertion part 331 of the foldable cover 330, which is magnetically connected to the first magnet 341, by pressing the insertion part 331.

[0129] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the display device housing 300, through the structure of inserting the foldable cover 330 into the side cover 320, sufficiently ensures the magnetic force of the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, thereby improving the adhesion of the foldable cover 330. At the same time, by means of the retaining rib 311 formed obliquely on the back cover 310, the user can easily separate the foldable cover 330 by pressing the insertion part 331, thus further improving ease of use.

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

[0131] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, in a display device housing 300 of one embodiment of the present invention, the back cover 310 may include a slot 312 formed on the back of the back cover 310, and the other end of the foldable cover 330 is introduced into the slot 312. This allows for more stable support of a large-screen display device.

[0132] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the display device housing 300 of this utility model, the foldable cover 330 may include a locking portion 334 formed by extending foldably from the other end. Therefore, as Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the other end of the foldable cover 330 can be increased due to the folding of the locking part 334, and it can be inserted into the slot 312 to more stably support the large-screen display device.

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

[0134] Moreover, at the same time refer to Figure 3 and Figure 11 In one embodiment of the present invention, the display device housing 300 has a foldable cover 330 that can cover the front of the display module 150 in a second folded state. That is, the foldable cover 330 supports the display device in a first folded state and covers the front of the display module 150 in a second folded state, thus protecting the appearance of the large-screen display device.

[0135] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown, in a display device housing 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the foldable cover 330 may include a locking portion 334 extending foldably from the other end. Furthermore, the locking portion 334 can be folded to abut against the other side of the side cover 320. By attaching the locking portion 334 to the other side of the side cover 320 in a second folded state of the foldable cover 330, the appearance protection of the display device is improved. At this time, the locking portion 334 and the other side of the side cover 320 can be attached by the magnetic force of a magnet. Alternatively, they can be attached by other joining structures, such as a hook-like locking structure.

[0136] Figure 12 This is a diagram showing another embodiment of the first magnet 341 in the display device housing 300 of this utility model. Furthermore, Figure 13 This is a diagram showing another embodiment of the second magnet 332 located in the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 in the display device housing 300 of this utility model.

[0137] If passed Figures 2 to 11 As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, the display device housing 300 can ensure the adhesion of the foldable cover 330 by means of the insertion structure of the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 into the fastening groove 321 formed in the side cover 320, and the magnetic force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332. At this time, the arrangement structure of the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332 expands the area forming the magnetic force, thereby ensuring the adhesion of the foldable cover 330.

[0138] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the display device housing 300, in order to ensure the magnetic force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, such as... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a plurality of magnets with N and S poles can be arranged alternately.

[0139] That is, the first magnet 341 can be formed by combining a plurality of magnets, wherein the N poles 341a and S poles 341b of the plurality of magnets are alternately arranged on one surface. Furthermore, the second magnet 332 can be formed by combining a plurality of magnets, wherein the S poles 332a and N poles 332b of the plurality of magnets are alternately arranged on one surface to form a magnetic force with the N poles 341a and S poles 341b of the first magnet 341, and is formed by combining a plurality of magnets.

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

[0141] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 is introduced into the fastening groove 321 formed in the side cover 320, the repulsive force between the first magnet 341 and the second magnet 332, which alternately arrange N-pole magnets and S-pole magnets, can be reduced.

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

[0143] In addition, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In one embodiment of the display device housing 300 of this utility model, the first magnet 341 may include a marking plate 342 attached to one side. This is to improve the convenience of setting the first magnet 341, which alternately arranges N-pole magnets and S-pole magnets and is attached to the fixed bracket 340, during the manufacture of the display device housing 300 of this utility model.

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

[0145] Therefore, by means of the marking plate 342 attached to one side of the first magnet 341, the first magnet 341 can be accurately placed in the fixed bracket 340 during the manufacture of the display device 300 of this utility model.

[0146] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the display device housing 300 can also be coupled with a marking plate 342 to one side of the second magnet 332. This allows the second magnet 332 to be positioned in the correct direction at the insertion portion 331 of the foldable cover 330 during manufacturing, thereby enabling it to form a magnetic force with the first magnet 341 located on the fixed bracket 340.

[0147] In summary, the display device housing of this invention improves the adhesion of the foldable cover by inserting an insertion portion formed at one end of the foldable cover into a fastening groove formed on the side cover. Furthermore, minimizing the gap between the magnets used to fasten the foldable cover increases the area for generating magnetic force, thereby improving the adhesion of the foldable cover. Additionally, the fixing ribs protruding from the front of the back cover prevent foreign objects from flowing into the fastening groove after the foldable cover is fastened.

[0148] The detailed description above is not to be construed as limiting in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of this invention should be determined by a reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all modifications within the equivalent scope of this invention are included within its scope.
