Abstract

The present invention discloses a display device frame, including at least a metallic back panel and a plastic outer frame. A side of the metallic back panel is extended with a lateral edge, the metallic back panel is formed integrally with the lateral edge, and an included angle is formed between an inner side of the metallic back panel and an inner side of the lateral edge. The lateral edge includes two side surfaces; whereas, the plastic outer frame is provided with two clip parts and encloses the lateral edge. The two clip parts are in a clipping state to clip the two side surfaces. The present invention removes the front frame in a conventional large display device frame, allowing the plastic material to enclose the periphery or a part of the large display device frame, which achieves the trends and advantages of thinning the large display device.
