A display device is disclosed. The display device of the present disclosure comprises: a display panel; a frame to which the display panel is coupled; a speaker located adjacent to the display panel; and a cover assembly located in front of the display panel and the speaker, wherein the cover assembly comprises: a cover body which is movably coupled to the frame; and a cover which covers the front portion of the cover body. The cover body comprises: a first body hole formed through the cover body; and a second body hole which is formed through the cover body and is spaced apart from the first body hole in the direction in which the cover body moves. In addition, the speaker faces the first body hole or the second body hole.

Claims (44)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a frame to which the display panel is coupled;

a speaker located adjacent to the display panel; and

a cover assembly located in front of the display panel and the speaker,

wherein the cover assembly comprises:

a cover body coupled to the frame and movable in a first direction; and

a cover which covers a front of the cover body,

wherein the cover body comprises:

a first body hole formed through the cover body; and

a second body hole which is formed through the cover body and which is spaced apart from the first body hole in the first direction in which the cover body moves,

wherein the speaker selectively faces either the first body hole or the second body hole, depending on a position of the cover body.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the speaker is adjacent to a lower side of the display panel and provides sound in a forward direction,

wherein the first body hole is located above the second body hole, and

wherein the first body hole or the second body hole is aligned with the speaker in a front-rear direction.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover is located in front of the cover body, is detachably coupled to the cover body, and comprises a fabric material.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first direction in which the cover body moves is a direction in which the cover body approaches or moves away from the display panel,

wherein the first body hole is disposed closer to the display panel than to the second body hole in the first direction.

5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the cover assembly further comprises a cover base which is coupled to the frame and is movable in the first direction, and to which the cover body is fixed,

wherein the cover base comprises:

a first base hole formed through the cover base in a front-rear direction, and facing the first body hole; and

a second base hole formed through the cover base in the front-rear direction, and facing the second body hole,

wherein a shape of each of the first base hole and the second base hole correspond to a sound outlet of the speaker.

6 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first body hole comprises a plurality of first holes formed through the cover body in a front-rear direction,

wherein the second body hole comprises a plurality of second holes formed through the cover body in the front-rear direction.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of first holes is smaller than a sound outlet of the speaker, and

each of the plurality of second holes is smaller than the sound outlet of the speaker.

8 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein a size of the plurality of second holes is substantially equal to a size of the plurality of first holes.

9 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein a size of the plurality of second holes is smaller than a size of the plurality of first holes.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of first holes comprises:

a first front end having a first diameter; and

a first rear end having a second diameter greater than the first diameter,

wherein each of the plurality of second holes comprises:

a second front end having a third diameter smaller than the first diameter; and

a second rear end having a fourth diameter larger than the third diameter but smaller than the second diameter.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the cover body further comprises a protrusion which is formed inside a portion forming a boundary of the second hole of the cover body, and which forms a boundary of an inner hole having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the second hole.

12 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first body hole comprises a plurality of first holes formed through the cover body in a front-rear direction,

wherein the second body hole comprises a plurality of second holes formed through the cover body in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction.

13 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein a part of a portion forming a boundary of the second hole of the cover body faces the cover.

14 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the speaker comprises a pair of speakers spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction,

wherein the first body hole comprises a pair of first body holes spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction, and

wherein the second body hole comprises a pair of second body holes spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction.

15 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a lift assembly which moves the cover body,

wherein the cover opens or closes at least a part of a front surface of the display panel.
