Display device and vehicle including the same
A display device mounted in a vehicle includes a display panel; a fixing plate configured to surround side and back surfaces of the display panel and formed to have an opening; a printed circuit board connected to the display panel and disposed in the opening; and a back cover configured to cover the fixing plate and the printed circuit board and configured to include a high-strength composite material. The back cover includes a plurality of slits spaced apart from each other in a first direction at a front surface of the back cover. Thus, the display device forms a plurality of slits in the back cover formed of a high-strength composite material, prevents bending caused by deformation of the back cover, and thus blocks light leakage.
1 . A display device of a vehicle, comprising:
a display panel having a plurality of surfaces including side and back surfaces;
a fixing plate covering the side and back surfaces of the display panel and having an opening exposing a portion of the back surface of the display panel;
a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed on the portion of the back surface of the display panel exposed by the opening; and
a back cover formed of a high-strength composite material, covering the fixing plate and the PCB, and including front surface having a plurality of slits spaced apart from each other in a first direction;
wherein each of the plurality of slits is tapered in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of slits divides the front surface of the back cover into a plurality of segments.
3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of slits includes first and second slits respectively at mutually opposite end portions of the back cover.
4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the back cover includes a plurality of screw fastening grooves spaced apart from each other in the first direction; and
the plurality of slits is between the plurality of screw fastening grooves.
5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the back cover includes a rear surface having a plurality of locking protrusions.
6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of the slits has a cross-sectional shape that is one of “⊂”, “V” and “W” shapes.
7 . A display device of a vehicle, comprising:
a display panel having a plurality of surfaces including side and back surfaces;

a back cover formed of a high-strength composite material, covering the fixing plate and the PCB, and including front surface having a plurality of slits spaced apart from each other in a first direction;
wherein each of the plurality of the slits has one of a “V” shape and a “W” shape in cross-section;
wherein a surface of each slit is curved and protruding forward.
8 . A vehicle comprising:
a vehicle body;
a holder disposed in the vehicle body; and
a display device mounted to the vehicle by the holder,
wherein the display device includes:
a display panel having a plurality of surfaces including side and back surfaces;
a fixing plate covering the side and back surfaces of the display panel and having an opening exposing a portion of the back surface of the display panel;
a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed on a portion of the back surface of the display panel exposed by the opening; and
a back cover formed of a high-strength composite material, covering the fixing plate and the PCB, and including a front surface having a plurality of slits spaced apart from each other in a first direction;
wherein each of the plurality of slits is tapered in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
9 . The vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein:
the plurality of slits divides the front surface of the back cover into a plurality of segments.
10 . The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of slits includes first and second slits respectively at mutually opposite end portions of the back cover.
