Abstract

A display device includes a display panel displaying an image, a driving circuit substrate electrically connected to the display panel and having a contact member mounted on one side thereof, a frame accommodating the display panel and the driving circuit substrate and having a through hole, and an accommodating member arranged below the frame and coupled to the frame, wherein the contact member contacts the accommodating member through the through hole.

Claims (17)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel displaying an image;

a driving circuit substrate connected to the display panel and having a contact member mounted on one side thereof;

a frame accommodating the display panel and the driving circuit substrate and having a through hole; and

an accommodating member arranged below the frame, coupled to the frame and having a protruding portion,

wherein the contact member contacts the protruding portion through the through hole and one of the contact member and the protruding portion is inserted into the other of the contact member and the protruding portion.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a light source mounted on one side of the driving circuit substrate.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the driving circuit substrate is accommodated from above the frame.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the light source is a light emitting diode.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the contact member is formed in any of a circular cylindrical form, an elliptic cylindrical form, and a polygonal prism form.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the protruding portion has an insertion groove into which the contact member is inserted.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the protruding portion has an insertion hole into which the contact member is inserted.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the protruding portion protrudes in any of a circular cylindrical form, an elliptic cylindrical form, and a polygonal prism form.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the contact member has an insertion groove into which the protruding portion is inserted.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the contact member is made of one of a metal-based material and an elastic material coated with a conductive material.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the driving circuit substrate is made of a flexible material.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the protruding portion contacts at least two faces of the contact member.
