Description

Control box and display device having the same

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a control box and a display device comprising it.

[0002] As the information society develops, the demand for display devices is also increasing in various forms, and in response to this, various display devices such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device), OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes), and Micro LED are being researched and used in recent years.

[0003] Among these, LCD panels have a TFT substrate and a color substrate that face each other with a liquid crystal layer between them, and can display images using light provided by a backlight unit. Furthermore, OLED panels can display images by depositing an organic layer capable of self-luminescence on a substrate on which a transparent electrode is formed. In particular, display devices equipped with OLED panels have the advantage of being ultra-thin because they do not require a backlight unit.

[0004] The control box can be located separately from the display device and used adjacent to the user. The control box can provide various information to the display device. For example, the control box can be an AV box. The control box can exchange information with a display head equipped with a display panel that displays images, either wired or wirelessly.

[0005] Recently, much research has been conducted on the connectivity of these display devices.

[0008] Another purpose may be to provide a control box capable of automatically aligning the orientation of the wireless communication module.

[0009] Another purpose may be to provide a control box capable of improving the reception rate of the antenna of the wireless communication module.

[0010] Another purpose may be to provide a mechanism for rotation of the wireless communication module.

[0011] According to one aspect of the present disclosure for achieving the above-described purpose, a control box may include: a case; a plate positioned inside the case; a wheel having an inner gear and rotatably mounted on the plate; an antenna mount having an antenna and fixed on the wheel to rotate together with the wheel; and a motor having a drive gear meshed with the inner gear of the wheel.

[0089] The above antenna mount may include: a center supporter forming a vertical wall with respect to the plate and connecting the mount head and the mount hub.

[0090] The mount head may include: a front part to which the antenna is fixed; an upper part connected to an upper portion of the front part; a lower part facing the upper part and forming a bottom of the mount head; and a heat dissipation part connected to the front part and having at least one fin positioned between the front part and the upper part.

[0091] The above front part can form an acute angle with respect to the lower part.

[0092] The control box further includes: a module bracket covering a portion of the wheel, the module bracket including: a hub cover positioned on a hub of the wheel; a gear housing accommodating the drive gear; and a spoke cover connecting the hub cover and the gear housing, the gear housing including: a housing opening positioned between the drive gear and the inner wheel gear of the drive rim, the drive gear being capable of engaging the inner wheel gear of the drive rim through the housing opening.

[0093] The module bracket may further include a duct positioned adjacent to the gear housing, and the plate may include an opening aligned with the duct and penetrating the plate.

[0094] The control box may further include a cooling fan positioned on the duct and configured to force air from the lower portion of the plate through an opening in the plate into the duct.

[0095] At least one board positioned between the plate and the bottom of the case, wherein the at least one board can be positioned adjacent to the opening of the plate.

[0096] The at least one board may include: a power supply or a main board.
