Abstract

The present invention relates to a display device, comprising a rear cover, a display panel, a drive device, a lower end guide frame, and a first adhesive member; the drive device is arranged in the rear cover, and electrically connected to the display panel to drive the display panel; the rear cover includes a bottom wall, 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 display panel is coupled at its upper end to the upper end of the rear cover, and bonded at its lower end to the lower end guide frame through the first adhesive member; the lower end guide frame is coupled to the lower end support portion to guide the drive device.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising a rear cover, a display panel, a drive device, a lower end guide frame, 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, 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 display panel is coupled at its upper end to an upper end of the rear cover, and bonded at its lower end to the lower end guide frame through the first adhesive member;

the lower end guide frame is coupled to the lower end support portion to guide the drive device.

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein, the lower end guide frame includes a lower end guide sidewall and a lower end panel support portion perpendicular to the lower end guide sidewall;

the lower end guide sidewall is coupled to the lower end support portion, and surrounds a lower end side of the drive device;

the lower end panel support portion is bonded to a lower end of the display panel through the first adhesive member.

3. The display device of claim 2, wherein, the display device includes a lower veneer structure and a second adhesive member;

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

4. The display device of claim 3, 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.

5. The display device of claim 2, wherein, the display device includes an upper end guide frame for guiding the drive device and a third adhesive member, the third adhesive member bonding the upper end of the display panel to the upper end guide frame that is coupled to the upper end of the rear cover.

6. The display device of claim 5, wherein, the upper end of the rear cover includes 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 upper end guide frame being coupled to the upper end coupling portion.

7. The display device of claim 6, wherein, the upper end guide frame includes an upper end panel support portion and an upper end guide sidewall perpendicular to the upper end panel support portion, the upper end panel support portion being bonded to the upper end of the display panel through the first adhesive member.

8. The display device of claim 7, wherein, the upper end guide sidewall is coupled to the upper end support portion of the rear cover, and surrounds an upper end side of the drive device.

9. The display device of claim 6, 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.

10. The display device of claim 3, wherein, the lower end sidewall of the rear cover extends away from the bottom wall to form a lower end protection portion for guiding and protecting the lower side of the lower veneer structure, respectively.

11. The display device of claim 3, wherein, the display device includes an upper end guide frame for guiding the drive device and a third adhesive member, the third adhesive member bonding the upper end of the display panel to the upper end guide frame that is coupled to the upper end of the rear cover.

12.
