Abstract

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.

Claims (33)

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 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 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.
