Abstract

A display device is provided. The display device has an upper case, a lower case, at least one fastening unit and at least one adjustable module. The upper case and the lower case respectively have at least one first fasten hole and at least one second fasten hole. The second fasten hole coaxially communicates with the first fasten hole. Through the second fasten hole, the unit is fixed in the first fasten hole to fasten the upper case and the lower case together. The adjustable module has an adjustable unit with a through hole penetrating therethrough. Furthermore, the adjustable unit is partially disposed in the second fasten hole. By disposing the adjustable unit and the fastening unit within the second fasten hole, the display device could be made more compact and the overall cost can be decreased.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising:

an upper case comprising at least one first fasten hole;

a lower case comprising at least one second fasten hole, which coaxially communicates with the at least one first fasten hole;

at least one fastening unit, fixed in the at least one first fasten hole through the at least one second fasten hole to fasten the upper case and the lower case together; and

at least one adjustable module, comprising an adjustable unit with a through hole penetrating therethrough, wherein the adjustable unit defines a first portion and a second portion, the through hole extends through a center of the first portion and a center of the second portion, the first portion is exposed outside the lower case and the second portion is partially mounted inside the at least one second fasten hole.

2. The display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first portion of the adjustable unit is a screw nut and the second portion of the adjustable unit is a screw bolt.

3. The display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one adjustable module further comprises a pad disposed on the adjustable unit.

4. The display device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pad further comprises a penetrating hole which is disposed corresponding to the through hole of the adjustable unit.

5. The display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjustable unit and the fastening unit define a receiving space within the at least one second fasten hole.

6. The display device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the upper case and the lower case are rectangle cases, and the at least one first fasten hole and the at least one second fasten hole are respectively disposed at any one of the right-angle corners, which correspond to each other, of the upper case and the lower case.

7. The display device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the at least one first fasten hole and the at least one second fasten hole are two first fasten holes and two second fasten holes respectively, and the at least one adjustable module are two adjustable modules.

8. The display device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the at least one first fasten hole and the at least one second fasten hole are four first fasten holes and four second fasten holes respectively, and the at least one adjustable module are four adjustable modules.

9. The display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display device is a projection device.

10. An assemble method of a display device, wherein the display device comprises:

an upper case comprising at least one first fasten hole;

a lower case comprising at least one second fasten hole which coaxially communicates with the at least one first fasten hole;

at least one fastening unit, fastening the upper case and the lower case together; and

at least one adjustable module comprising an adjustable unit with a through hole penetrating therethrough, wherein the adjustable unit defines a first portion and a second portion, and the through hole extends through a center of the first portion and a center of the second portion;

the assembly method comprising;

aligning the at least one first fasten hole of the upper case with the at least one second fasten hole of the lower case;

fastening the at least one fastening unit through the at least one second fasten hole into the at least one first fasten hole to fasten the upper case and the lower case together; and

mounting the at least one adjustable module partially within the at least one second fasten hole of the lower case, wherein the first portion is exposed outside the lower case and the second portion is partially mounted inside the second fasten hole.

11. An assembly structure for use in a display device, wherein the display device comprises an upper case and a lower case assembled opposite to the upper case, the assembly structure comprising:

a first fasten hole, being disposed in the upper case;

a second fasten hole, being disposed in the lower case and coaxially communicating with the first fasten hole;

a fastening unit, fixed in the first fasten hole through the second fasten hole to fasten the upper case and the lower case together; and

an adjustable module, comprising an adjustable unit with a through hole penetrating therethrough, wherein the adjustable unit defines a first portion and a second portion, the through hole extends through a center of the first portion and a center of the second portion, the first portion is exposed outside the lower case and the second portion is partially mounted inside the second fasten hole.

12. The assembly structure as claimed in claim 11, wherein the adjustable module further comprises a pad disposed on the adjustable unit.

13. The assembly structure as claimed in claim 12, wherein the pad further comprises a penetrating hole which is disposed corresponding to the through hole of the adjustable unit.

14. The assembly structure as claimed in claim 11, wherein the adjustable unit and the fastening unit define a receiving space within the at least one second fasten hole.
