Description

Description
DISPLAY APPARATUS
Technical Field
[1] The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus.
Background Art
[2] The appearance of display apparatuses such as liquid crystal displays (LCD) and plasma display panels (PDP) with high-definition and large-sized screens is a relatively recent phenomenon.
[3] These display apparatuses have front covers covering the front perimeters thereof.
[4] Specifically, a front panel made of a transparent material for transmitting images while protecting the display module is installed on the front surface of a display module. A front cover is fixed and coupled to the perimeter of the front panel. The front cover thus functions to support the front panel. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[5] Because the periphery of the front panel must be supported by the front cover, a portion of the front panel is necessarily covered by the front cover.
[6] Because a portion of the perimeter of the front panel is blocked by the front cover, a limitation arises in which the display screen appears smaller from the outside.
[7] Additionally, because a separate front cover is needed to support the front panel, the overall manufacturing cost of the display apparatus increases, and assembly becomes more complicated. Technical Solution
[8] In one embodiment, a display apparatus includes: a front panel defining a front portion thereof; a frame fixed at a rear surface of the front panel, to support the front panel; a display module fixed to the frame, to output an image; and a rear housing receiving the display module and disposed at a rear of the front panel.
[9] In another embodiment, a display apparatus includes: a display module outputting an image; a front panel having an edge partially or entirely exposed, and formed of a transparent material that transmits the image; a frame attached at a rear surface of the front panel, and having the display module fixed to a rear surface thereof; and a rear housing enclosing the display module at a rear of the front panel.
[10] In still another embodiment, a display apparatus includes: a front panel of a transparent material; a frame coupled at a rear surface of the front panel, to prevent warping of the front panel; a blocking member disposed around a portion of the rear surface of the front panel at which the frame is coupled, to block the frame from exposure; a display module fixed at a rear surface of the frame; and a rear housing enclosing at least one of the frame and the display module from a rear of the front panel, and having a frontal perimeter of a size equal to or smaller than the front panel.
[11] In yet another embodiment, a display apparatus includes: a front panel; a frame directly connected to a rear surface of the front panel to support the front panel; a display module fixed to the frame; a rear housing fixed at the rear surface of the front panel, and enclosing the display module; and a fastening member connecting the front panel and the rear housing.
[12] In a further embodiment, a display apparatus includes: a front panel formed of a transparent material; a frame directly connected at a rear surface of the front panel, to support the front panel; a display module fixed to the frame; a rear housing fixed to the frame, to protect the display module; and a plurality of fastening members passing through the rear housing and inserted in the frame.
[13] In a still further embodiment, a display apparatus includes: a front panel with an edge portion externally exposed; a frame fixed at a rear surface of the front panel; a display module fixed to the frame; a rear housing fixed to the display module, to cover and protect the frame and the display module; and a fastening member passing through the rear housing and the display module.
Advantageous Effects
[14] In the above configurations, the front exterior of a display apparatus is neatly finished, while the display screen appears larger from the outside than it actually is. [15] Also, because the front panel at the front of the display module is securely supported by the frame according to the present disclosure, even when product dimensions are increased, the front panel will not warp or slip downward. [16] Furthermore, because the configuration does not require a separate covering member to enclose the frontal perimeter of the display apparatus, the assembling process of the product is simplified, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[36] Referring to Hgs. 1 to 3, a display apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a display module 13 outputting an image, a front panel 11 protecting the front surface of the display module 13, a frame 12 coupled tightly to the front panel 11 and having the display module 13 fixed to the rear thereof, a bracket 15 connecting the frame 12 and the display module 13, and a rear housing 14 coupled at the rear of the front panel 11 and enclosing and protecting the display module 13.
[37] In detail, an adhering member 17 is interposed between the front panel 11 and frame
12 to fix the frame 12 to the front panel 11. Also, a gasket 16 for blocking electromagnetic interference (EMI) is interposed between the front panel 11 and the frame 12. The adhering member 17 and the gasket 16 are respectively disposed at a predetermined distance.
[38] An opaque film layer 111 is formed along the rear perimeter of the front panel 11.
Specifically, the film layer 111 may be provided in a variety of ways, and may be coated on the front panel in one embodiment. The frame 12 is mounted along the film layer 111, so that the frame 12 is not visible from the front of the display apparatus 10.
[39] The front panel 11 may be formed of a transparent material enabling an image provided through the display module 13 to be viewed. In order to satisfy strength requirements for larger sizes, the front panel may be made of tempered glass. However, the material for the front panel 11 is not restricted to any embodiment, and may one of various materials including transparent plastic. That is, any material that is transparent and satisfies predetermined strength specifications may be used within the scope of the present disclosure.
[40] A sealing member 18 is applied to a frontal upper portion of the frame 12 to prevent impurities from entering through a gap between the frame 12 and front panel 11. The frame 12 surrounds the rear perimeter of the front panel 11. Specifically, a plurality of frames 12 is mounted at positions separated a predetermined distance from the edges of the front panel 11. When the end portions of adjacent frames 12 are pressed together and connected, the bracket 15 is mounted on the connected portions.
[41] A front perimeter portion is pressed against the frame at the rear housing 14 that covers and protects the display module 13, and includes an inner housing 141 formed of a conductive material, and an outer housing 142 covering the inner housing 141. However, the rear housing 14 does not have to include the two components, and may include only one conductive cover.
[42] Here, electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from the display module 13 flows through an EMI grounding gasket, 16 attached to the front of the frame 12, and the frame 12. The EMI flowing along the frame 12 is transferred to the rear housing 14. Therefore, it is preferable that the frame 12 is made of a conductive material, and may be made of an aluminum material according to one embodiment. However the material for the frame 12 does not have to be limited to an aluminum material, and may be made of any material through which electric current can flow.
[43] Here, the frame 12 may be manufactured of a non-conductive material, such as a plastic injection molded material. In this case, a separate EMI grounding structure for grounding EMI is required, which will be described below with reference to the diagrams.
[44] Hg. 4 is a frontal perspective view of a frame for a display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and Hg. 5 is a rear perspective view of a frame for a display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[45] Referring to Hgs. 4 and 5, a plurality of frames 12 of a display apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are tightly fixed against a front panel 11.
[46] That is, the frames 12 are pressed against other frames 12 at the ends thereof, and portions pressed against each other are connected through brackets 15.
[47] A portion of the frames 12 have a hole 12a of a predetermined size defined therein, and a control panel for controlling the display apparatus is mounted in the hole 12a.
[48] In more detail, a front panel 11 made of tempered glass is mounted to the front of the frame 12, and a touch-screen type control panel is coupled behind the frame 12. Thus, a user may turn power on/off or switch channels and control volume by touching the surface of the front panel 11 where the control panel is inserted.
[49] The frame 12 is formed of straightly formed metal or plastic material with a predetermined degree of strength. This is to prevent warping of the front panel 11 when the dimensions of the display apparatus 10 are increased.
[50] Below, a detailed description of the connecting parts of the frame 12 will be given with reference to the diagrams.
[51] Hg. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of region A in Hg. 5, and Hg. 7 is an exploded perspective view of region A in Hg. 5.
[52] Referring to Hgs. 6 and 7, the frames 12 mounted at the rear surface of the front panel 11 are connected together in plurality through a bracket 15.
[53] That is, the bracket 15 is bent in an "L" shape to be seated at the joining portions at the ends of the frames 12. Also, a protruding portion, namely, a bracket mounting portion 123 (in Hg. 8) is formed on the frame 12 in order to mount the bracket 15. A plurality of fastening members are passed through the bracket 15 and inserted into the frame 12. [54] A boss 151 of a predetermined height is protrudingly formed at the center of the bracket 15. An edge portion of the display module 13 (that is, a module lug 131 in Hg. 10) is mounted on the boss 151. Accordingly, the display module 13 and the frame 12 are connected with a gap equal to the length of the boss 151.
[55] An anti- movement rib 152 protrudes at the corner of the bracket 15 to ensure that the display module 13 remains coupled in a proper position. In other words, when the display module 13 is mounted at the rear of the frame 12, it is guided to remain in its proper position. Therefore, the fastening hole defined in the module lug 132 is precisely positioned. Also, a screw or other fastening member is passed through the fastening hole and inserted into the boss, to fix the display module 13 to the frame 12.
[56] The ends of the frames 12 are connected to each other at right angles. Thus, each end of the frames 12 are tapered at 45°with respect to the lengths of the frames.
[57] If the ends of the frames 12 are not formed with a 45°taper, when two frames 12 are coupled, the surfaces pressed together may slip and be displaced. To prevent the latter from occurring, the ends of the frames 12 may be formed in a shape that is not straight. In other words, the ends of the frames 12 form a straight portion S and a stepped portion H that is stepped at a certain point of the straight portion S. Further, the stepped portion H may be provided singularly or in plurality. Here, the stepped portion H is bent from an extending direction of the straight portion S in another direction (or deviating direction).
[58] As shown, by forming the stepped portion H at a point of the straight portion S, even when force is applied to one of two joined frames 12 in its lengthwise direction, the stepped portion H prevents the joined ends of the frames 12 from being displaced.
[59] The reference number 122a is a fastening hole and 122b is a fixing projection. The fastening hole and the fixing projection are provided in plurality and are alternately provided on the frame 12. They will be explained below more clearly.
[60] Hg. 8 is a sectional view of Hg. 7 taken along line II-II'.
[61] Referring to Hg. 8, the frames 12 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are formed of a conductive material, and are pressed against the rear of the front panel 11, to support the front panel 11 and also prevent curving of the front panel 11.
[62] Specifically, the frame 12 includes a body 121 at the rear of the front panel 11, and a head 122 protruding rearward from an upper end of the body 121.
[63] More specifically, an adhering surface 125 on which the adhering member 17 is mounted, and a gasket mounting surface 126 on which a gasket 16 is mounted are formed on the front surface of the frame 12. A dividing rib 127 separating the adhering surface 125 and the gasket mounting surface 126 is further formed. The dividing rib 127 prevents the adhering member 17 and the gasket 16 from sticking to one another.
[64] Here, the adhering surface 125 and the gasket mounting surface 126 may be formed by being recessed a predetermined from the front surface of the body 121. If the adhering surface 125 and the gasket mounting surface 126 share the same surface with the body 121, and are divided by the dividing rib 127, they would be separated by a gap between the front panel 11 and the frame 12 equal to the height of the dividing rib 127. Thus, the dividing rib 127 may be formed on the same surface as the front surface of the body 121, and the adhering surface 125 and the gasket mounting surface 126 may be recessed to form a mutually protruding structure.
[65] The adhering member 17 may be a double-sided tape with a predetermined adhering strength, or may be a liquid adhesive. The gasket 16 may be formed of a conductive material to block EMI.
[66] To hold the sealing member 18 in the front upper end of the head 122, a sealing surface 128 is formed with a slant of a predetermined angle. Thus, when the frame 12 is pressed against and coupled to the rear of the front panel 11, a recessed portion is formed between the sealing surface 128 and the rear surface of the front panel 11, and the sealing member 18 is interposed in the recessed portion. The interposition of the sealing member 18 blocks the formation of gaps between the coupled surfaces of the front panel and the frame 12 and therefore entry of impurities therein.
[67] A cavity 129 is formed within the head 122. That is, the formation of the cavity 129 prevents deformation of the head 122 during the forming of the frame 12 and reduces manufacturing cost.
[68] A bracket mounting portion 123 protrudes at a rear of the body 121 and extends in the lengthwise direction of the frame 12. The bracket 15 is mounted on the bracket mounting portion 123, and the bracket 15 mounted on the bracket mounting portion 123 is bent in a '1^ ' shape. Therefore, the bracket 15 and the bracket mounting portion 123 contact one another on three sides. Due to the shape of the bracket mounting portion 123, the bracket 15 does not move and is securely mounted to the frame 12. Also, the frame 12 is firmly fixed by the bracket 15.
[69] A reinforcing rib 124 protrudes from a predetermined position below the bracket mounting portion 123, and extends in the lengthwise direction of the frame 12. Specifically, the reinforcing rib 124 is formed to reinforce the frame 12. Also, the reinforcing rib 124 allows the frame 12 to retain a straight disposition without bending even when its length is extended.
[70] A leakage preventing rib 125a is protruded from a perimeter of the adhering surface
125, in detail, an upper perimeter of the front portion of the body 121. The leakage preventing rib 125 a prevents the adhering member 17 anointed on the adhering surface 125 from leaking or spreading to an outside of the frame 12.
[71] More in detail, if the leakage preventing rib 125a is not provided, the adhering member 17 spreads towards the perimeter of the front panel 11 and is exposed to an outside, and then the exterior of the display doesn't look neat. In order to resolve this kind of problem, the leakage preventing rib 125 a is protruded on the frontal perimeter which is located on the edge of the front panel 11.
[72] The rear housing 14 is coupled to the head 122.
[73] In detail, a plurality of fastening holes 122a are arranged at predetermined intervals in the edges of the head 122 and rear housing 14, and fastening members are inserted in the fastening holes 122a to fix the rear housing 14 to the head 122. Also, a plurality of fixing projections 122b may protrude from the head 122, and a plurality of fixing holes may be formed in the edge of the rear housing 14 to insert the fixing projections 122b in. In one exemplary embodiment, a fixing projection 122b may protrude at a point between a fixing hole 122a and another fixing hole 122a. The fixing projection 122b may be inserted into a fixing hole formed in the rear housing 14, so that the fixing hole formed in the rear housing 14 is aligned with the fixing hole 122a formed in the head 123.
[74] Hg. 9 is a frontal view showing the coupling structure of a front panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, Hg. 10 is a rear perspective view of region B in Hg. 9, and Hg. 11 is a sectional view of Hg. 10 taken along line EI-IH'.
[75] Referring to Hgs. 9 to 11, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the front panel 11 and the display module 13 form a directly coupled structure.
[76] That is, when the front panel 11 and the frame 12 are coupled through the adhering member 17, there is the possibility of the front panel 11 detaching from the frame 12. In other words, when the display apparatus 10 is enlarged, the dimensions of the front panel 11 increase and its weight also increases. When the display apparatus 10 is mounted on a wall, if the weight of the front panel 11 exceeds the adhering strength of the adhering member 17, the front panel 11 can disengage from the frame 12 and fall to the floor.
[77] To obviate this possibility, the present embodiment provides the front panel 11 integrally coupled to the display module 13. [78] In further detail, a nut 30 is inserted into the front edge of the front panel 11, and a fastening member is passed through the bracket 15 and the module lug 131 and inserted into the nut 30. To prevent damage to the front panel 11 by the nut 30, a rubber bushing 31 may be inserted over the outer circumference of the nut 30. The boss 151 formed at the center of the bracket 15 extends further to the opposite side, and the extended portion is inserted into a portion of the nut 30. The fastening member passes through the module lug 131 and the boss 151 in sequence, and inserts into the nut 30. Through this coupling structure, disengaging of the front panel 11 from the frame 12 due to weight can be avoided.
[79] The rear housing 14 is coupled to the frame 12, and the way of coupling the rear housing 14 and the frame 12 may be the same as the way described in Hg. 1 to Hg. 8, using the fixing projections 122b and fastening holes 122a.
[80] Hg. 12 is a side sectional view showing the coupling structure of a rear housing according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[81] Referring to Hg. 12, the present embodiment is characterized by the rear housing 14 being coupled directly to the front panel 11.
[82] In detail, the front edge of the rear housing 14 may be formed in a size that is the same as or smaller than the front panel 11, so that the front edges of the rear housing 14 cannot be seen from the front of the display apparatus 10.
[83] The front edge of the rear housing 14 is bent in parallel directions with the front panel 11 to form the coupling surfaces. A screw 40 or other fastening member is inserted from the front of the front panel 11 through the rear housing 14. A nut 42 is inserted over the outer circumference of the screw 40 that passes and protrudes through the rear housing. Of course, an anti-wear bushing 41 is inserted between the screw 40 and the front panel 11.
[84] As depicted in Hg. 11, a structure in which the screw is inserted in the front of the front panel 11 may be employed.
[85] Hg. 13 is a side sectional view showing the coupling structure of a rear housing according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[86] Referring to Hg. 13, the rear housing 14 is fixed to the display module 13.
[87] That is, the screw 50 may be sequentially passed through the rear housing 14 and the module lug 131, and inserted into the boss 151 of the bracket 15.
[88] Here, to prevent the screw 50 from loosening, a screw thread is formed on the inner circumference of the boss 151.
[89] In another method, as shown in Hg. 11, the fastening member passing through the rear housing 14 is passed through the module lug 131 and the boss 151, inserted in the front surface of the front panel 11, and ultimately inserted into the nut 30.
[90] In this configuration, the front panel 11, frame 12, display module 13, and rear housing 14 may be integrally coupled through a single screw 32 and nut 30.
[91] Hg. 14 is an enlarged perspective view showing a front panel supporting structure of a display apparatus depicted in a frontal view according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Hg. 15 is a partial rear perspective view of region C in Hg. 14, and Hg. 16 is a sectional view of Hg. 15 taken along line IV-IV.
[92] Referring to Hgs. 14 to 16, to prevent the front panel 11 of a display apparatus 10 according to the present disclosure from separating from the frame 12 due to excessive weight, a separate supporting structure may be provided.
[93] That is, a supporter 60 (as shown in Hgs. 14 to 16) may be coupled at the upper surface and lower surface of the front panel 11.
[94] In further detail, the supporter 60 may be formed in a length that entirely or partially covers the top and bottom edges of the front panel 11. The supporter 60 is bent a plurality of times in order to securely support the front panel 11, to cover portions of the rear, bottom, and front surfaces of the front panel 11. Of course, the supporter 60 mounted at the top end of the front panel 11 provides a structure that covers portions of the rear, top, and front surfaces of the front panel 11.
[95] The supporter 60 is coupled to the head 122 of the frame. That is, a fastening hole is defined in the head 122, and a fastening hole is also formed at an end of the supporter 60. A screw or other fastening member is passed through the supporter 60 and inserted into the head 122.
[96] In the above configuration, the upper edge of the front panel 11 is securely supported, preventing the front panel 11 from disengaging from the frame 12 and leaning forward.
[97] The bottom edge of the front panel 11 is also securely supported, so that the front panel 11 is prevented from falling due to excessive weight.
[98] Here, the supporter 60 may be provided only at the lower end of the front panel 11.
[99] Hg. 17 is a sectional view showing an EMI grounding structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[100] Referring to Hg. 17, the present embodiment provides a grounding structure for blocking EMI when a frame 12 made of a non-conductive material is used.
[101] Specifically, when the frame 12 is made of a plastic injection molded material or the like, a structure is needed to absorb EMI. Thus, in order to ground EMI that is emitted at the rear housing 14, a separate grounding member 80 is attached to the frame 12.
[102] In further detail, one end of the grounding member 80 is inserted in the gasket mounting surface 126 of the frame 12. The grounding member 80 is extended along the surface of the frame 12 and connected at the other end to the rear housing 14. Thus, the rear housing 14 made of a conductive material acts as a ground to block EMI.
[103] Here, the grounding member 80 may cover the entire rear surface of the frame 12 or a portion thereof. However, it is sufficient to electrically connect the front panel 11 and the rear housing 14 through the grounding member 80. For example, even if the grounding member 80 is only disposed between the perimeter and the center of the frame 12, EMI is sufficiently blocked.
