Display apparatus and method of manufacturing the same
View Patent ↗A display apparatus includes a light providing unit generating light, a display unit displaying an image using the light generated by the light providing unit, a driving unit driving at least one of the light providing unit and the display unit, and a bottom chassis receiving the light providing unit, the bottom chassis having a driving unit receiving recess that receives the driving unit.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a light-providing unit generating light;
a display unit displaying an image using the light generated by the light-providing unit;
a driving unit driving at least one of the light-providing unit and the display unit; and
a bottom chassis receiving the light providing unit, the bottom chassis having a driving unit receiving recess that receives the driving unit,
wherein the bottom chassis comprises:
a bottom plate; and
sidewalls extending from the bottom plate and facing side portions of the light-providing unit, wherein the driving unit receiving recess is formed at the bottom plate.
2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the bottom plate is recessed to form the driving unit receiving recess.
3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the driving unit corresponds to a control printed circuit board outputting a control signal controlling the display unit, and comprising a first connector electrically connecting the driving unit to the display unit.
4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the driving unit receiving recess has a first opening portion exposing the first connector.
5. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the control printed circuit board comprises a second connector electrically connecting the driving unit to an external main board.
6. The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the driving unit receiving recess has a second opening portion exposing the second connector.
7. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the driving unit receiving recess has a hole through which the driving unit is combined with a screw.
8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display unit comprises: a display panel disposed over the light providing unit to display an image; and a source printed circuit board driving the display panel.
9. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the source printed circuit board is disposed at the sidewalls of the bottom chassis.
10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light-providing unit comprises:
a plurality of lamps arranged in parallel with each other on the bottom plate of the bottom chassis;
an optical member disposed over the lamps; and
a light reflecting plate disposed under the lamps.
11. The display apparatus of claim 10 , where the driving unit corresponds to an inverter board that provides the lamps with driving voltages, the inverter board being disposed on a back face of the bottom plate.
12. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the driving unit comprises a control printed circuit board outputting a control signal controlling the display unit, and an inverter board that provides the lamps with driving voltages, the inverter board being disposed on a back face of the bottom plate.
13. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a top chassis combining sidewalls of the bottom chassis to fasten the display unit to the bottom chassis.
14. A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, comprising:
combining a driving unit with a driving unit receiving recess of a bottom chassis;
disposing a light-providing unit in a receiving space of the bottom chassis;
disposing a display unit over the light providing unit; and
combining a top chassis with the bottom chassis to fasten the display unit to the bottom chassis,
wherein the bottom chassis comprises:
a bottom plate; and
sidewalls extending from the bottom plate and facing side portions of the light-providing unit, and
a portion of the bottom plate is recessed to form the driving unit receiving recess.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the driving unit comprises:
a first connector electrically connecting the driving unit to the display unit; and
a second connector electrically connecting the driving unit to an external main board.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the driving unit receiving recess comprises a first opening portion exposing the first connector, and a second opening portion exposing the second connector.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the display unit comprises:
a display panel disposed over the light providing unit to display an image; and
a source printed circuit board driving the display panel, the source printed circuit board being disposed at the sidewalls of the bottom chassis.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising connecting a flexible circuit board electrically connected to the source printed circuit board to the first connector through the first opening portion.
19. The method of claim 14 , further comprising combining an inverter board with the bottom chassis at a bakside of the bottom chassis.
