Abstract

The present invention relates to a display device, comprising a rear cover, a display panel, a drive device and a first adhesive member, the drive device being arranged in the rear cover and electrically connected to the display panel to drive the display panel; the rear cover includes a bottom wall, an upper end sidewall arranged at an upper side of the bottom wall, an upper end coupling portion extending downward from the upper end sidewall, and an upper end support portion and a guide portion for supporting the upper end coupling portion, the guide portion and the bottom wall defining a receiving space for receiving the upper end of the drive device; the first adhesive member bonds the upper end of the display panel to the upper end coupling portion/guide portion, and the display panel is bonded at its lower end to the lower end of the rear cover.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A display device, comprising a rear cover, a display panel, a drive device and a first adhesive member, the drive device being arranged in the rear cover and electrically connected to the display panel to drive the display panel, wherein, the rear cover includes a bottom wall, an upper end sidewall arranged at an upper side of the bottom wall, an upper end coupling portion extending downward from the upper end sidewall, a guide portion extending downward from the upper end coupling portion and an upper end support portion for supporting the upper end coupling portion, the guide portion and the bottom wall defining a receiving space for receiving an upper end of the drive device;

the first adhesive member bonds an upper end of the display panel to the upper end coupling portion and/or the guide portion, and the display panel is bonded at its lower end to a lower end of the rear cover.

12. The display device of claim 11, wherein, the guide portion extends integrally out from the upper end coupling portion and is parallel with the bottom wall.

13. The display device of claim 12, wherein, the display device includes a lower veneer structure and a second adhesive member;

the lower veneer structure is bonded to the lower end of the rear cover through the second adhesive member, and covers and supports the lower end of the display panel.

14. The display device of claim 13, wherein, the rear cover includes a lower end sidewall arranged at a lower side of the bottom wall, a lower end coupling portion extending upward from the lower end sidewall, and a lower end support portion for supporting the lower end coupling portion;

the lower veneer structure is bonded to the lower end coupling portion through the second adhesive member.

15. The display device of claim 14, wherein, the upper end support portion is connected between the upper end coupling portion and the bottom wall, and the lower end support portion is connected between the lower end coupling portion and the bottom wall.

16. The display device of claim 14, wherein, the display device includes a lower end guide frame for guiding the drive device and the third adhesive member, the lower end guide frame being coupled to the lower end of the rear cover, the third adhesive member bonding the lower end of the display panel to the lower end guide frame.

17. The display device of claim 16, wherein, the lower end guide frame includes a guide sidewall and a panel support portion perpendicular to the guide sidewall;

the guide sidewall surrounds a lower end side of the drive device, the panel support portion being bonded to the lower end of the display panel through the third adhesive member.

18. The display device of claim 17, wherein, the lower end guide frame includes a lower veneer structure support, which extends from the panel support portion to the lower veneer structure and is coupled to the lower veneer structure.

19. The display device of claim 14, wherein, the upper and/or lower end sidewall(s) of the rear cover extend(s) away from the bottom wall to form upper and/or lower end protection portion(s), respectively, for guiding and protecting an upper side of the display panel and/or a lower side of the lower veneer structure.

20. The display device of claim 19, wherein, the upper end protection portion and the lower end protection portion are perpendicular to the upper end coupling portion and the lower end coupling portion, respectively.

21. The display device of claim 15, wherein, the display device includes a lower end guide frame for guiding the drive device and the third adhesive member, the lower end guide frame being coupled to the lower end of the rear cover, the third adhesive member bonding the lower end of the display panel to the lower end guide frame.

22. The display device of claim 15, wherein, the upper and/or lower end sidewall(s) of the rear cover extend(s) away from the bottom wall to form upper and/or lower end protection portion(s), respectively, for guiding and protecting an upper side of the display panel and/or a lower side of the lower veneer structure.
