Abstract

A mesh assembly includes a mesh cover, and a stiffener configured to fix a position of the mesh cover, wherein the stiffener includes a body and an arm extending from the body, and wherein the arm includes a bending portion having an internal diameter of about 0.3 mm or more.

Claims

1. A mesh assembly comprising:

a mesh cover; and

a stiffener configured to fix a position of the mesh cover,

wherein the stiffener comprises a body and an arm extending from the body, and

wherein the arm comprises a bending portion having an internal diameter of about 0.3 mm or more.

2. The mesh assembly of claim 1, wherein the stiffener comprises a plate having a thickness of about 0.2 mm or less.

3. The mesh assembly of claim 1, wherein the arm comprises a folded structure by virtue of the bending portion.

4. The mesh assembly of claim 3, wherein the arm comprises a first portion extending in a second direction from the body, a second portion extending in a first direction from the first portion, a third portion extending in an opposite direction of the second direction from the second portion, and a contact portion extending in the opposite direction of the second direction from the third portion.

5. The mesh assembly of claim 4, wherein the bending portion is between the first portion and the second portion, and the first portion and the second portion overlap with each other in a third direction crossing the first and second directions.

6. The mesh assembly of claim 5, wherein the bending portion protrudes in an opposite direction of the third direction from the first portion.

7. The mesh assembly of claim 5, wherein the bending portion protrudes in the third direction and from the second portion.

8. The mesh assembly of claim 7, wherein the bending portion is between the second portion and the third portion, and the second portion and the third portion overlap with each other in the third direction.

9. The mesh assembly of claim 8, wherein the bending portion protrudes in an opposite direction of the third direction from the third portion.

10. The mesh assembly of claim 5, wherein the bending portion protrudes in the third direction and from the second portion.

11. The mesh assembly of claim 4, wherein the arm further comprises a step generating portion between the third portion and the contact portion.

12. The mesh assembly of claim 1, wherein the stiffener comprises a protrusion protruding from the body, and the mesh cover covers at least a part of the protrusion.

13. A display module comprising:

a window having an opening;

a display panel at a rear side of the window; and

a mesh assembly at the rear side of the window and overlapping with the opening, the mesh assembly comprising a mesh cover;

a stiffener configured to fix a position of the mesh cover,

wherein the stiffener comprises a body and an arm extending from the body, and

wherein the arm comprises a bending portion having an internal diameter of about 0.3 mm or more.

14. The display module of claim 13, wherein the stiffener comprises a plate having a thickness of about 0.2 mm or less.

15. The display module of claim 13, wherein the arm comprises a first portion extending in a second direction from the body, a second portion extending in a first direction from the first portion, a third portion extending in an opposite direction of the second direction from the second portion, and a contact portion extending in the opposite direction of the second direction from the third portion.

16. The display module of claim 15, wherein the bending portion is between the first portion and the second portion, and the first portion and the second portion overlap with each other in a third direction crossing the first and second directions.

17. The display module of claim 16, wherein the bending portion protrudes in an opposite direction of the third direction from the first portion.

18. The display module of claim 15, wherein the bending portion is between the second portion and the third portion, and the second portion and the third portion overlap with each other in a third direction.

19. The display module of claim 18, wherein the bending portion protrudes in an opposite direction of the third direction from the third portion.

20. The display module of claim 13, wherein the stiffener comprises a protrusion protruding from the body, the mesh cover covers at least a part of the protrusion, and the protrusion and at least a part of the mesh cover are in the opening.
