Description

display device

[0001] The present invention relates to a display device having a design in which an infrared receiver for receiving a signal from a remote control is not exposed to the outside.

[0002] As the information society develops, the demand for displays is also increasing in various forms, and in response to this, recent displays include liquid crystal displays (LCDs), field emission displays (FEDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), and electroluminescence devices.

[0003] The liquid crystal panel of the liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal layer and a TFT substrate and a color filter substrate facing each other with the liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, and can display an image using light provided from a backlight unit.

[0004] As an example of an electroluminescent device (ELD), an active-matrix type organic light-emitting display device is commercially available. Because OLED displays are self-luminous, they do not require a backlight and offer advantages over liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in terms of response speed, viewing angle, and other factors. Therefore, they are attracting attention as next-generation displays.

[0005] Recently, materials such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been able to implement flexible display modules because they emit light without a backlight structure, making it possible to implement curved display devices.

[0006] Not only are displays becoming thinner, but the non-display area surrounding the display area is also shrinking. The size of the case surrounding the display is also shrinking, and the bezel, which includes the non-display area and the front perimeter of the case, is shrinking to less than 1cm, leading to bezel-less display devices becoming mainstream.

[0007] Furthermore, recent display devices may include antennas and wireless signal receivers that transmit and receive various wireless signals in addition to wired communication. A representative example is an infrared receiver that receives signals from an infrared remote control. Since the remote control signal is provided from the front of the display device, where the image is output, the remote control receiver must be positioned facing forward.

[0008] However, display devices using organic light-emitting diodes have thin displays, so the front case surrounding the display is omitted, and the cover bottom covers the perimeter of the organic light-emitting diode panel, leaving insufficient space to install an infrared receiver around the display.

[0009] Accordingly, conventional display devices have infrared receivers positioned protruding from the bottom of the body. Infrared receivers protruding from the bottom of the body are prone to damage during transport, requiring additional protective materials to protect them.

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a display device having superior design and reducing damage to the infrared receiver by configuring the infrared receiver so that it does not protrude from the bottom of the display device body.

[0011] A display device is provided, comprising: a display unit including a light-emitting unit formed in a non-display area; a module cover supporting a rear surface of the display unit and including an opening formed at a position corresponding to the light-emitting unit; and an infrared receiver fastened to the rear surface of the module cover and positioned at the rear surface of the opening.

[0012] The above non-display area includes a black printing layer printed in black, and the light-transmitting portion may omit the black printing layer.

[0013] It may include a translucent coating layer.

[0014] The above light-emitting portion may include a printing portion having characters or images printed on it.

[0015] The above display portion is located at the lower portion and includes a flexible substrate bent in the rear direction, and the light-transmitting portion can be located between the flexible substrates.

[0016] A protective ring is positioned between the light-emitting unit and the infrared receiver and is arranged along the periphery of the light-emitting unit, and the protective ring may include an elastic material.

[0017] The inner surface of the above protective ring may include a slope that narrows toward the rear.

[0018] The size of the above opening may be larger than the size of the above protective ring.

[0019] The lower assembly may include a power button and an infrared receiver mounted thereon.

[0020] The above subassembly may include an auxiliary bracket coupled to the bottom and fixed to the module cover.

[0021] The module cover includes a back cover that covers electronic components mounted on the back surface of the module cover and is fastened to the back surface of the module cover, and the lower assembly can form the same plane as the lower surface of the back cover.

[0022] The display device of the present invention can reduce damage accidents during transportation or use of the product by omitting a protruding structure at the bottom.

[0023] In addition, the display device of the present invention has an excellent design effect by eliminating the protruding structure at the bottom.

[0024] The effects that can be obtained from the present invention are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs from the description below.

[0045] Meanwhile, the display device (100) described herein is an intelligent display device (100) that adds computer support functions to, for example, a broadcast reception function. While faithful to the broadcast reception function, it can be equipped with additional Internet functions, etc., and can be equipped with a more user-friendly interface such as a manual input device, touch screen, or space remote control. In addition, with support for wired or wireless Internet functions, it can be connected to the Internet and a computer, and can perform functions such as email, web browsing, banking, or games. A standardized, general-purpose operating system (OS) can be used for these various functions.

[0046] Accordingly, the display device (100) described in the present invention can perform various user-friendly functions, for example, since various applications can be freely added or deleted on a general-purpose OS kernel. More specifically, the display device (100) can be, for example, a network TV, HBB TV, smart TV, etc., and in some cases, can also be applied to a smartphone.

[0047] Figure 1 is a front perspective view illustrating an example of a display device of the present invention. The display device (100) includes a display portion (150) that occupies most of the front surface area, a case top (101) that covers the front perimeter and side surfaces of the display portion (150), and a cover bottom (102) that covers the rear surface.

[0048] The display device (100) of the present invention may have a rectangular body including a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides. It may include a first long side (First Long Side, LS1), a second long side (Second Long Side, LS2) opposite the first long side (LS1), a first short side (First Short Side, SS1) adjacent to the first long side (LS1) and the second long side (LS2), and a second short side (Second Short Side, SS2) opposite the first short side (SS1).

[0049] Although the long side extending horizontally and the short side extending vertically are depicted in the drawing, the long side and the short side may be of equal length, and the long side may also be arranged vertically.

[0050] For convenience of explanation, the long side is defined as the side extending in the horizontal direction (x-axis direction) and the short side is defined as the side extending in the vertical direction (y-axis direction). However, as mentioned above, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0051] The first direction (DR1) may be a direction parallel to the long side (LS1, LS2) of the display panel (100), and the second direction (DR2) may be a direction parallel to the short side (SS1, SS2) of the display panel (100). The third direction (DR3) may be a direction perpendicular to the first direction (DR1) and / or the second direction (DR2).

[0052] The side of the display device (100) that displays an image may be referred to as the front or front surface. When the display device (100) displays an image, the side from which the image cannot be observed may be referred to as the rear or back surface. When the display device displays an image, the side from which the image cannot be observed may be referred to as the rearward direction or rear side (rear surface).

[0053] When viewing the display from the front or front, the first long side (LS1) may be referred to as the upper side or upper surface. Similarly, the second long side (LS2) may be referred to as the lower side or lower surface. Similarly, the first short side (SS1) may be referred to as the right side or right surface, and the second short side (SS2) may be referred to as the left side or left surface.

[0054] The display device (100) may include a display unit (150) that outputs an image. The display unit (150) may convert an image signal, data signal, OSD signal, control signal, etc. processed by the control unit or an image signal, data signal, control signal, etc. received from the interface unit to generate a driving signal. The display unit (150) may include a display panel having a plurality of pixels.

[0055] The plurality of pixels provided on the display panel may have RGB sub-pixels. Alternatively, the plurality of pixels provided on the display panel may have RGBW sub-pixels. The display unit (150) may convert image signals, data signals, OSD signals, control signals, etc. processed by the control unit to generate driving signals for the plurality of pixels.

[0056] The display unit (150) can be a PDP (Plasma Display Panel), LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), a flexible display, etc., and may also be a 3D display. The 3D display unit (150) can be divided into a glasses-free type and a glasses type.

[0057] Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) made their debut in the mid-2010s and are rapidly replacing LCDs in the small- to medium-sized display market. OLEDs utilize the self-luminous phenomenon, where fluorescent organic compounds emit light when current flows through them. OLEDs offer faster image quality response times than LCDs, resulting in virtually no afterimages when displaying video.

[0058] OLED uses three types of fluorescent organic compounds with self-luminous functions: red, green, and blue. It is a luminescent display product that utilizes the phenomenon in which electrons injected from the cathode and anode and positively charged particles combine within the organic material to emit light on their own, so there is no need for a backlight (backlight device) that reduces color.

[0059] OLEDs don't require a backlight unit, so their layered structure is relatively simple. Unlike liquid crystal displays, they don't require guide panels to align each layer, resulting in a simpler case structure.

[0060] The display unit (150) can be configured to omit a backlight by using an organic light-emitting diode and can have a thin structure. The module cover (120) supporting the back surface of the display unit (150) can be configured with a metal material to have sufficient rigidity to support the thin display unit (150). When configured with a metal material, it also has the advantage of excellent heat dissipation performance.

[0061] The display unit (150) includes a display area where multiple pixels are positioned and the color of each pixel changes, outputting an image, and a non-display area where signal lines connecting signals are positioned around the display area.

[0062] The size of the non-display area may be less than 1 cm, and the size of the non-display area at the bottom where the flexible substrate (159) for connection to the main substrate is placed may be larger than the other perimeters. Since the non-display area does not output images, it may include a black coating layer to cover the signal lines.

[0063] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a display device of the present invention. The display device (100) of the present invention may include a display unit (150) positioned at the front and outputting an image, a module cover (120) that supports the back surface of the display unit (150) and simultaneously covers the side perimeter of the display unit (150), and a back cover (130) that is fastened to the back surface of the module cover (120).

[0064] The edge portion of the module cover (120) can be protruded toward the front to cover the side perimeter of the display unit (150). The top case for protecting the side perimeter of the display unit (150) can be omitted, thereby simplifying the case structure. The edge of the module cover (120) can be folded to form a hem to prevent the user from being injured by exposing sharp edges (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

[0065] The module cover (120) may include a first region (121) on which electronic components are mounted on the back surface and a second region (122) exposed to the outside. The first region (121) may include a cable hole (128) through which a flexible cable passes for connection to a display substrate (158) of a display unit (150), and may be located at the bottom of the module cover (120) as illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0066] The first region (121) may include a protruding portion protruding toward the rear surface, as a fastening structure is required to secure the electronic component. Since heat generation issues are aggravated when the electronic component is in close contact with the display module, a gap may be created between the electronic component and the display unit (150) by forming the protruding portion.

[0067] The rigidity of the module cover (120) can be improved by forming a protruding portion (123), and the back cover (130) to be described later is coupled to the first region (121), so that the protruding portion (123) of the first region (121) is not exposed to the outside. The second portion (122) to which the back cover (130) is not coupled is exposed to the outside, so the protruding portion can be omitted or the protruding portion (123') can be formed only on the periphery as illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0068] Unlike the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the size of the second region (122) can be minimized and most of the area of ​​the module cover (120) can be used as the first region (121) to reduce the thickness of the electronic component.

[0069] A back cover (130) can be combined to cover electronic components such as a main circuit board mounted on the first area (121) of the module cover (120), and the back cover (130) can have a size corresponding to the first area (121).

[0070] The back cover (130) can be manufactured using injection molding, and thus has greater design freedom than the module cover (120). The back cover (130) may include a heat dissipation hole for heat dissipation, and may include an opening to expose a cable terminal for connecting a power cable, etc.

[0071] The display device (100) may include an infrared receiver (175) for receiving signals from a remote control. Since the user operates the remote control from the front of the display device (100), the infrared receiver (175) must be placed toward the front of the display unit (150).

[0072] However, as described above, the non-display area located around the display area of ​​the display device (100) and the size of the edge portion (153, hereinafter referred to as bezel) of the module cover (120) are small, so there is insufficient space to place the infrared receiver (175). Fig. 3 is a rear view illustrating an infrared receiver (175) of a conventional display device (100), and Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of Fig. 3.

[0073] In order to avoid increasing the size of the bezel (153), a lower assembly (171) with an infrared receiver (175) mounted thereon was conventionally added to protrude from the lower portion of the main body. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the protruding lower assembly (171) is vulnerable to external impact and may be damaged.

[0074] In order to protect the lower protrusion structure, it is necessary to add a reinforcing structure (137) to the back cover (130) to support the protruding lower assembly (171), as shown in Fig. 3. Additional protective material is required for the lower assembly when packaging the display device (100).

[0075] In addition to the problem of breakage, there is a disadvantage in that if the infrared receiver (175) protrudes, the overall design perfection of the display device (100) is lowered. The present invention is characterized by changing the position of the infrared receiver (175) to omit the protruding structure in order to solve the above problem.

[0076] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a light-transmitting portion (157) formed in a display portion (150) of a display device (100) of the present invention, and is an enlarged view of part B of FIG. 2.

[0077] The display unit (150) has a display substrate (158) positioned on the bottom to be connected to the main substrate located on the back of the module cover (120), and a plurality of flexible substrates (159) connecting the display substrate (158) and the display unit (150) can be positioned horizontally.

[0078] Referring to the enlarged view of the lower center of the display unit (150), the light-transmitting unit (157) can be formed in a space between a plurality of flexible substrates (159). In order to place the infrared receiver (175) in the center of the display device (100), the light-transmitting unit (157) can be formed in the lower center of the display device (100).

[0079] The non-display area (153) of the display unit (150) is a part where no image is output, and thus may include a black printed layer, i.e., a black printed layer, to cover the structure of the back and not expose the wiring on the display unit (150). The light-transmitting portion (157) may be formed by removing (omitting) the black printed layer in the non-displaying area. A translucent coating may be applied to the light-transmitting portion (157) so that the inside is not visible through the light-transmitting portion (157), or a visible light blocking coating may be applied so that infrared rays are transmitted but visible light is not transmitted.

[0080] When the display unit (150) includes an inner sheet (156) supporting the display unit (150) on the back surface, a hole can also be formed in the inner sheet (156) at a position corresponding to the light-transmitting unit (157). As shown in Fig. 5, the light-transmitting unit (157) is open to the back surface of the display unit (150), so that infrared rays can reach the back surface of the display unit (150) and the infrared receiver (175) through the light-transmitting unit.

[0081] By printing a manufacturer logo (157a, Fig. 1) including the manufacturer's letters or pictures on the light-emitting part (157), a psychological effect and product identification can be obtained.

[0082] Figures 6 to 8 are drawings sequentially illustrating a method for fastening an infrared receiver (175) and a back cover (130) of a display device (100) of the present invention. Figure 6 is a drawing illustrating an opening (127) portion in a state where a module cover (120) is fastened to the back surface of a display unit (150).

[0083] Fig. 7 is a drawing showing an auxiliary bracket (178) and a button assembly of a display device (100) of the present invention, and Fig. 8 is a drawing showing an infrared receiver (175) of a display device (100) of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a drawing showing an infrared receiver (175) attached to the back surface of a module cover (120) in the state of Fig. 6, and Fig. 8 is a drawing showing a back cover (130) attached in the state of Fig. 7.

[0084] Fig. 6 illustrates an opening (127) formed in a module cover (120) and an auxiliary bracket (178) coupled to the back surface thereof and a button assembly. The opening (127) of the module cover (120) can be formed larger than the light-transmitting portion (157), and the light-transmitting portion (157) can be completely exposed in the back direction through the opening (127).

[0085] The infrared receiver (175) of the present invention can be positioned at a location corresponding to the light-emitting portion (157). The lower assembly (171) housing the infrared receiver (175) is electrically connected to the main circuit board because the infrared receiver (175) is positioned therein. A power button (174) can be positioned on the lower assembly (171) using a cable connecting the main circuit board.

[0086] The power button (174) can be exposed at the bottom of the display device (100) as shown in Fig. 8. The power button (174) can be positioned by utilizing the lower assembly (171) in which the infrared receiver (175) is mounted, which is positioned closest to the edge of the display device (100). The lower assembly (171) of the present invention can form a single assembly in which the infrared receiver (175) and the power button (174) are mounted.

[0087] The front of the infrared receiver (175) can be positioned adjacent to the back surface of the light-emitting portion (157), and the infrared receiver (175) can receive a signal from the remote control through the light-emitting portion (157). As shown in Fig. 8, the lower assembly (171) is covered by the back cover (130), but the portion corresponding to the power button (174) can be opened to expose the power button (174) to the lower portion of the display device (100).

[0088] The lower assembly (171) may be positioned on the lower back surface of the module cover (120) and may be equipped with a forward-facing infrared receiver (175) and a downward-facing power button (174). In order to stably attach the infrared receiver (175) to the module cover (120), the lower assembly (171) may further include an auxiliary bracket (178) to which it is attached.

[0089] The lower part of the auxiliary bracket (178) includes a fixing structure to which the lower assembly (171) is fixed, and the auxiliary bracket (178) can be fixed via a screw. It can include a mounting plate (177) for fixing an electronic component mounted on the back surface of the module cover (120), and the auxiliary bracket (178) can be directly fastened to the module cover (120), but can be fixed to the module cover (120) via the mounting plate (177).

[0090] Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC of Fig. 9, and Fig. 11 is an enlarged view of part D of Fig. 9. The lower assembly (171) of the present invention may be arranged so as not to protrude downward and to have the same height as the back cover (130) as shown in Fig. 10.

[0091] When the front of the infrared receiver (175) mounted on the lower assembly (171) is placed in close contact with the back surface of the light-emitting unit (157), the display unit (150) may be damaged by external impact at the infrared receiver (175) portion.

[0092] In order to prevent the display unit (150) from being captured, the present invention may include a protective ring (176) positioned between the infrared receiver (175) and the light-emitting unit (157). The front of the protective ring (176) may be in contact with the periphery of the light-emitting unit (157), and the rear of the protective ring (176) may be in contact with the infrared receiver (175).

[0093] The opening (127) of the module cover (120) is formed larger than the protective ring (176), so that the protective ring (176) is exposed to the rear through the opening (127) and can be in close contact with the infrared receiver (175). The protective ring (176) fills the space between the display unit (150) and the infrared receiver (175), so that even if the lower part of the display unit (150) is pressed, the display unit (150) can be prevented from being pressed in the rear direction.

[0094] The protective ring (176) not only simply fills the gap between the display unit (150) and the infrared receiver (175) and prevents the display unit (150) from being damaged by external impact, but can also serve as an optical guide to guide infrared signals to be received by the infrared receiver (175).
