Meanwhile, for convenience of explanation, the lengths of the first and second long sides (LS1, LS2) are shown and described as being longer than the lengths of the first and second short sides (SS1, SS2), but it is also possible for the lengths of the first and second long sides (LS1, LS2) to be approximately the same as the lengths of the first and second short sides (SS1, SS2).

[0030] A direction parallel to the long side (LS1, LS2) of the display device (1) can be referred to as the left-right direction or the first direction (DR1). A direction parallel to the short side (SS1, SS2) of the display device (1) can be referred to as the up-down direction or the second direction (DR2). A direction perpendicular to the long side (LS1, LS2) and short side (SS1, SS2) of the display device (1) can be referred to as the front-back direction or the third direction (DR3).

[0034]

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the display device (1) may include a display panel (10), a frame (30), and a side frame (40). The display device (1) may include a plate (20) positioned behind the display panel (10) and a back cover (50) positioned behind the frame (30).

[0036] The display panel (10) forms the front surface of the display device (1) and can display an image forward. The display panel (10) can output an image by dividing the image into multiple pixels and adjusting the color, brightness, and saturation for each pixel. The display panel (10) can be divided into an active area where the image is displayed and a de-active area where the image is not displayed. The display panel (10) can generate light corresponding to the color red, green, or blue according to a control signal.

[0037] The plate (20) may be located at the rear of the display panel (10). The plate (20) may be formed in a shape that corresponds to the shape of the display panel (10) overall. The plate (20) may absorb heat generated from the display panel (10) and / or heat generated from the PCB (60) coupled to the frame (30) described later during the operation of the display device (1). The heat absorbed by the plate (20) may be evenly distributed along the plate (20).

[0038] Accordingly, it is possible to prevent localized hot spots from occurring on the display panel (10) due to heat generated during the operation of the display device (1). Here, the plate (20) may be referred to as an inner plate, a heat sink, or a heat sink. Additionally, the plate (20) can improve the torsional and / or bending rigidity of the display device (1). For example, the plate (20) may include a metal material, and the plate (20) may include a material having a thermal conductivity greater than that of the frame (30). The plate (20) may include a CFM (Carbon Fiber Material) composite material.

[0039] The frame (30) may be located at the rear of the plate (20). The frame (30) may be formed in the shape of the plate as a whole. The frame (30) may be equipped with a PCB (not shown) on which a plurality of electronic components are located. Here, the frame (30) may be referred to as a main frame, a flat frame, or a module cover. For example, the frame (30) may include a metal material.

[0040] The side frame (40) can form the side of the display device (1). The side frame (40) can extend along the edge of the frame (30). For example, the side frame (40) can be formed in the shape of a square ring overall. For example, the side frame (40) may include a metal material. The side frame (40) may include aluminum and may be formed through aluminum extrusion.

[0041] The back cover (50) can cover the rear of the frame (30). The back cover (50) can form the rear of the display device (1). The back cover (50) may include a middle cover (51) and a side cover (52). The middle cover (51) is formed in the shape of a plate overall, and the side cover (52) can be attached to it. The side cover (52) extends along the edge of the middle cover (51) and may be adjacent to the side frame (40). For example, the middle cover (51) may be made of a metal material, and the side cover (52) may be made of a plastic material.

[0042] A type in which the back cover (50) completely covers the rear of the frame (30) can be called a full-back type, and a type in which the back cover (50) covers the lower rear of the frame (30) can be called a half-back type.

[0043]

[0044] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the frame (30) can be positioned at the rear of the display panel (10), and a part of the frame (30) can be exposed to the rear.

[0045] The side frame (40) may extend along the edge of the display panel (10) and may cover the edge of the display panel (10). The side frame (40) may include a first part (41) that covers the edge of the display panel (10). The first part (41) may include four first parts (41) that extend along each of the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the display panel (10), and the four first parts (41) may cover each of the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the display panel (10).

[0046] The side frame (40) may include a third part (43) positioned at a corner of the display device (1, see FIG. 1), and the third part (43) may have a curvature. The third part (43) may be positioned at a corner of the display device (1, see FIG. 1) and connected to a first part (41). The third part (43) may include four third parts (43) positioned at each of the first corner (C1, see FIG. 1), second corner (C2, see FIG. 1), third corner (C3, see FIG. 1), and fourth corner (C4, see FIG. 1) of the display device (1, see FIG. 1), and each of the four third parts (43) may connect two different first parts (41).

[0047]

[0048] Referring to FIG. 5, the guide frame (40) may include a second part (42) extending from a first part (41). The second part (42) may protrude from the inner surface (411) of the first part (41) facing the interior of the display device (1, see FIG. 1) and may extend in a direction intersecting the first part (41). For example, the first part (41) may be orthogonal to the second part (42). The first part (41) may be in the shape of a thin, long rectangular bar, and the second part (42) may be in the shape of a thin, long rectangular bar that is orthogonal to the first part (41). The first part (41) may be referred to as a cover part (41) or a vertical part (41), and the second part (42) may be referred to as a connecting part (42) or a horizontal part (42).

[0049] The frame (30) may include a rear part (31) positioned at the rear of the display panel (10) and a middle part (32) that folds forward from the end of the rear part (31). The middle part (32) may face the rear part (31) and may be parallel to the rear part (31). The rear surface of the middle part (32) may contact the front surface of the rear part (31). The frame (30) may include a first bending portion (34) connecting the rear part (31) and the middle part (32).

[0050] The frame (30) may include a front part (33) that folds forward from the end of the middle part (32). The front part (33) may be located at the rear of the display panel (10) and may face the display panel (10). The front part (33) may be located spaced apart from the middle part (32) in the front-rear direction. The front surface (331) of the front part (33) may be parallel to the rear surface of the display panel (10). The frame (30) may include a second bending part (35) connecting the middle part (32) and the front part (33).

[0051] The edge of the frame (30) may have an overall 'L' shape. The frame (30) may include an insertion groove (36) surrounded by a front part (33), a middle part (32), and a second banding part (35), and the second part (42) of the side frame (40) may be inserted into the insertion groove (36). The second part (42) may be combined with the frame (30) by being sandwiched between the front part (33) and the middle part (32). Specifically, the front surface (421) of the second part (42) may be in close contact with the rear surface of the front part (33), and the rear surface (422) of the second part (42) may be in close contact with the front surface of the middle part (32). The second part (42) may be pressed between the front part (33) and the middle part (32).

[0052] As a result, the side frame (40) can be joined to the frame (30) without a separate joining member, and the thickness of the edge of the display device (1, see FIG. 1) can be reduced by omitting a separate joining member such as an adhesive sheet. In addition, since a separate joining member such as an adhesive sheet can be omitted, the cost can be reduced during the manufacturing process. Also, the side frame (40) and the frame (30) can be easily separated.

[0053] The plate (20) may be positioned between the display panel (10) and the frame (30). Specifically, the plate (20) may be positioned at the rear of the display panel (10) and at the front of the rear part (31) of the frame (30). The plate (20) may face the second bending part (35) and may be adjacent to the second bending part (35). At least a portion of the adhesive sheet (100) may be positioned between the plate (20) and the display panel (10), and the adhesive sheet (100) may join the plate (20) and the display panel (10). The front surface (21) of the plate (20) may be located on the same plane as the front surface (331) of the front part (33). At least a portion of the adhesive sheet (100) may be positioned between the display panel (10) and the front part (33) to join the display panel (10) and the front part (33). The rear surface of the adhesive sheet (100) can be adhered to the front surface (331) of the front part and the front surface (21) of the plate, and the front surface of the adhesive sheet (100) can be adhered to the rear surface of the display panel (10).

[0054] The frame (30) and the side frame (40) can be formed of different materials, and as a result, the torsional rigidity of the edge portion of the display device (1, see FIG. 1) can be improved.

[0055]

[0056] Referring to FIG. 6, the side frame (40) may include a hole (425) that penetrates the second part (42) in the front-rear direction. The second part (42) may extend along the edge of the display panel (10), and the hole (425) may include a plurality of holes (425) formed spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the second part (42).

[0057] The frame (30) may include a protrusion (321) that protrudes forward from the middle part (32). The middle part (32) may extend along the edge of the display panel (10), and the protrusion (321) may include a plurality of protrusions (321) spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction of the middle part (32). The length of the protrusion (321) in the front-rear direction may be smaller than the gap between the front part (33) and the middle part (32). The protrusion (321) may be inserted into a hole (425), thereby allowing the side frame (40) to be more firmly connected to the frame (30). Each of the plurality of protrusions (321) may be inserted into each of the plurality of holes (425).

[0058] The rear part (31) of the frame (30) may include a central portion (311) positioned at the rear of the plate (20) and an edge portion (312) recessed forward from the central portion (311). The rear part (31) may include an inclined portion (313) connecting the central portion (311) and the edge portion (312). The rear surface (22) of the plate may be located at the rear of the edge portion (3121) and at the front of the central portion (311).

[0059] In order to efficiently dissipate heat generated from the display panel (10), the plate (20) is required to have a certain thickness, so the central part (311) of the rear part (31) must be spaced a certain distance from the rear of the display panel (10). In contrast, since the plate (20) is not placed at the edge of the frame (30), the edge part (312) of the rear part (31) can be placed closer to the display panel (10) than the central part (311).

[0060] The rear end (413) of the first part of the side frame (40) may be located further forward than the central part (311) of the rear part (31). The front end (412) of the first part may be located further forward than the front of the display panel (10) or may be located on substantially the same plane as the front of the display panel (10). The length (L2) of the first part (41) in the front-rear direction may be shorter than the length (L1) from the front of the display panel (10) to the rear of the central part (311). As a result, the thickness of the edge of the display device (1, see FIG. 1) may be thinner than the thickness of the central part of the display device (1, see FIG. 1).

[0061]

[0062] Referring to FIG. 7, the frame (30) may include a rear part (31) and a middle part (32) folded forward from the end of the rear part (31). The frame (30) may include a first bending part (34) connecting the rear part (31) and the middle part (32). The frame (30) may include a protrusion (321) protruding forward from the middle part (32). The protrusion (321) may be formed by pressing the rear surface of the middle part (32) forward. The protrusion (321) may have a tubular shape overall. For example, the protrusion (321) may have a cylindrical shape overall. The protrusion (321) may be penetrated in the front-rear direction to form a hollow (3211).

[0063]

[0064] Referring to FIG. 8, the protrusion (321) may include a cut portion (3212) that is partially cut from the front end of the protrusion (321) toward the rear. As a result, when pressure is applied to the rear end of the protrusion (321), the front end of the protrusion (321) can be easily bent in the radial direction of the protrusion (321).

[0065]

[0066] Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 together, the side frame (40) includes a hole (425) that penetrates the second part (42) in the front-rear direction, and a protrusion (321) can be inserted into the hole (425). The length of the protrusion (321) in the front-rear direction may be greater than the length of the second part (42) in the front-rear direction, and the front end of the protrusion (321) may protrude forward of the second part (42). The protrusion (321) may include an insertion part (3213) that is placed in the hole (425), and may include a catch part (3214) that protrudes forward of the second part (42) and overlaps with the second part (42) in the front-rear direction.

[0067] The middle part (32) may come into contact with the second part (42). Specifically, the middle part (32) may be parallel to the second part (42), and the front surface of the middle part (32) may come into contact with the rear surface (422) of the second part. The second part (42) may be positioned on the front surface of the middle part (32), and after the protrusion (321) is inserted into the hole (425) formed in the second part (42), pressure may be applied to the front end of the protrusion (321) to form a catch (3214) on the front end of the protrusion (321). In other words, after inserting the protrusion (321) into the hole (425), the protrusion (321) can be engaged with the second part (42) by extending the front end of the protrusion (321) in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the protrusion (321), and thereby the side frame (40) can be joined to the frame (30). For example, the engaging part (3214) can be formed by pressing the front end of the protrusion (321) backward.

[0068] The insertion part (3213), which is the portion of the protrusion (321) that is inserted into the hole (425), may have a hollow cylindrical shape overall, and the outer diameter of the insertion part (3213) may be smaller than the diameter of the hole (425). The protrusion (321) may include a catch part (3214) located in front of the second part (42) at the front end and overlapping with the second part (42). For example, the catch part (3214) may have a truncated cone shape in which the diameter gradually increases as it extends forward from the front end of the insertion part (3213), and the outer diameter of the front end of the catch part (3214) may be larger than the diameter of the hole (425).

[0069] In contrast, in another embodiment according to the present disclosure, the catch portion (3214) may be bent outwardly from the front end of the insert portion (3213) to the radially outward direction of the protrusion portion (321) and caught on the front surface (421) of the second part.

[0070] The side frame (40) can be combined with the display panel (10). Specifically, a first adhesive sheet (100a) can be placed between the second part (42) and the display panel (10), and the front surface of the first adhesive sheet (100a) can be bonded to the rear surface of the display panel (10), and the rear surface of the first adhesive sheet (100a) can be bonded to the front surface (421) of the second part. The thickness (D1) of the first adhesive sheet (100a) can be greater than the length (D3) from the front end of the protrusion (321) to the second part (42).

[0071] The display panel (10) can be combined with the plate (20). Specifically, a second adhesive sheet (100b) can be placed between the display panel (10) and the plate (20), and the front surface of the second adhesive sheet (100b) can be adhered to the rear surface of the display panel (10), and the rear surface of the second adhesive sheet (100b) can be adhered to the front surface (21) of the plate. The thickness (D1) of the first adhesive sheet (100a) can be greater than the thickness (D2) of the second adhesive sheet (100b). As the catch portion (3214) of the protrusion (321) protrudes forward of the second part (42), the thickness (D1) of the first adhesive sheet (100a) that combines the second part (42) and the display panel (10) can be increased, and accordingly, the thickness (D1) of the first adhesive sheet (100a) can be greater than the thickness (D2) of the second adhesive sheet (100b).

[0072] The rear end (413) of the first part may be located further forward than the central part (311) of the rear part (31).

[0073]

[0074] Referring to FIG. 11, the second part (42) may include a recess (426) that is recessed from the front (421) to the rear. The recess (426) may be formed around the hole (425) and may be in communication with the hole (425). The end of the catch (3214) may be positioned in the recess (426) in the radial direction of the protrusion (321). The front end of the catch (3214) may be positioned in the recess (426) and may not protrude forward of the second part (42).

[0075] For example, a chamfer (4261) may be formed at the boundary of a hole (425) formed on the front (421) of the second part, and the space enclosed by the chamfer (4261) and a virtual surface extending forward from the boundary of the hole (425) may be defined as a recess (426). The chamfer (4261) may be referred to as a beveled surface (4261) or a recessed surface (4261). A catch (3214) may come into contact with the chamfer (4261), and as the catch (3214) is caught on the chamfer (4261), the side frame (40) may be coupled to the frame (30).

[0076] The front surface (21) of the plate and the front surface (421) of the second part may be located on the same plane. The second adhesive sheet (100b) may be placed between the display panel (10) and the plate (20) and may extend to the front of the second part (42). The front surface of the second adhesive sheet (100b) may be bonded to the rear surface of the display panel (10), and the rear surface of the second adhesive sheet (100b) may be bonded to the front surface (21) of the plate and the front surface (421) of the second part. As the catch portion (3214) does not protrude forward of the front surface (421) of the second part, the distance between the front surface (421) of the second part and the rear surface of the display panel (10) may be reduced, and specifically, the distance between the front surface (421) of the second part and the rear surface of the display panel (10) may be substantially equal to the thickness (D2) of the second adhesive sheet (100b).

[0077] The rear end (413) of the first part may be located further forward than the central part (311) of the rear part (31).

[0078]

[0079] Referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 12 together, the frame (30) may include a front part (33) that folds forward from the end of the middle part (32) and faces the display panel (10). The middle part (32) and the front part (33) may be connected by a second bending part (35), and the frame (30) may include an insertion groove (36) surrounded by the middle part (32), the front part (33), and the second bending part (35).
