Abstract

A display device comprises a rear cover, a display panel, a drive device, a first adhesive member, a second adhesive member, a lower veneer structure, the first adhesive member including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the second adhesive member including a third surface and a fourth surface opposite to the third surface. The first adhesive member is bonded at the first surface to the upper end of the rear cover, and at the second surface to the upper end of the display panel; the second adhesive member is bonded at the third surface to the lower end of the rear cover, and at the fourth surface to the lower veneer structure, which covers and supports the lower end of the display panel; the drive device is arranged in the rear cover and electrically connected to the display panel to drive the display panel.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising a rear cover, a display panel, a drive device, a first adhesive member, a second adhesive member, and a lower veneer structure, the first adhesive member including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the second adhesive member including a third surface and a fourth surface opposite to the third surface, wherein, the first adhesive member is bonded at its first surface to an upper end of the rear cover, and at its second surface to an upper end of the display panel;

the second adhesive member is bonded at its third surface to a lower end of the rear cover, and at its fourth surface to a lower veneer structure, which covers and supports a lower end of the display panel;

the drive device is arranged in the rear cover and electrically connected to the display panel to drive the display panel;

wherein, the display device includes a lower end guide frame for guiding the drive device and a third adhesive member, the lower end guide frame is coupled to the lower end of the rear cover, the third adhesive member bonds the lower end of the display panel to the lower end guide frame.

2. The display device of claim 1, 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, and an upper end support portion for supporting the upper end coupling portion, the first adhesive member being bonded at its first surface to the upper end coupling portion.

3. The display device of claim 2, 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 second adhesive member being bonded at its third surface to the lower end coupling portion.

4. The display device of claim 3, 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.

5. The display device of claim 4, wherein, the display device includes an upper end guide frame for guiding the drive device, the upper end guide frame including an upper end panel support portion and an upper end guide sidewall perpendicularly intersecting the upper end panel support portion, the upper end panel support portion being coupled to the display panel;
