Abstract

A display device includes a panel assembly for forming an image, a printed circuit board (PCB) connected with the panel assembly and having a connector; a support member for supporting the panel assembly and having the PCB installed on a rear surface thereof, and a cover member combined with the support member, covering the PCB, and having an opening exposing the connector. A fixing part formed at the opening of the cover member fixes the connector to the PCB.

Claims (21)

1. A display device comprising:

a panel assembly for forming an image;

a printed circuit board (PCB) adapted to electrically connect the panel assembly and having a connector;

a support member for supporting the panel assembly and having the PCB installed on a rear surface thereof; and

a cover member combined with the support member, covering the PCB, and having an opening exposing the connector,

wherein a fixing part formed at the opening of the cover member fixes the connector to the PCB.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing part elastically presses the connector.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cover member comprises a cover part facing the PCB and a fixing part connected with the cover part.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the fixing part comprises a protrusion that protrudes from the cover part toward the connector.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the fixing part further comprises a contact part which is bent and extends from an end portion of the protrusion and contacts the connector.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the contact part extends in an inward direction of the cover member.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the contact part extends in an outward direction of the cover member.

8. The device of claim 5 , further comprising:

an elastic member located between the contact part and the connector such that the fixing part elastically presses the connector.

9. The device of claim 5 , further comprising:

a gasket made of a metal material located between the contact part and the connector.

10. The device of claim 5 , further comprising:

a gasket located between the cover part and the contact part.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the PCB and the cover member include a fastening hole, respectively, and the PCB and the cover member are combined through the fastening hole by a screw.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the cover member comprises a fastening part that has the fastening hole, a guide part that surrounds the fastening part and guides the screw into the fastening part, and a contact part that surrounds the guide part and contacts the PCB.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the fastening part, the guide part, and the contact part have a section in a concave-convex form.
