Display Device Front Frame Folding Side Wall Rigidity

The patent introduces a folding side wall structure that extends vertically from the rear frame, adding a third-dimensional element to the otherwise planar thin profile. This folding structure provides structural reinforcement without increasing the horizontal footprint, thereby maintaining slimness while improving rigidity through dimensional complexity.

The patent employs a composite structure combining the rear frame with folding side walls made of rigid materials. This composite design integrates multiple structural elements (frame + folding walls) to achieve enhanced mechanical strength and rigidity while keeping the overall device thickness minimal, resolving the contradiction between thinness and structural integrity.

The patent merges the reinforcement structure with the existing rear frame by integrating folding side walls that extend from the frame itself. This consolidation approach provides structural reinforcement without adding separate, independent components, thereby improving rigidity while minimizing increases in device complexity through unified design.

The folding side wall structure is segmented into distinct portions (first side wall, second side wall, bending portion) that can be manufactured and assembled separately but function as an integrated reinforcement system. This segmentation allows for simplified manufacturing of individual parts while achieving complex structural reinforcement when assembled, balancing rigidity improvement with manufacturing simplicity.
