Bezel support for flat panel display
View Patent ↗A flat panel display device includes a folded bezel formed in a multi-layer structure. The flat panel display device is formed so that an electronic component of a flexible printed circuit board may be inserted into at least one opening formed at a location where the layers of the bezel correspond to one another. Thus, the electronic component inserted into the opening of the bezel has improved durability against external interference and impact, and the number of components and the number of processes can be reduced.
1. A flat panel display (FPD) device, comprising:
a bezel including a first substrate part having a bent part at an edge thereof, and a second substrate part which extends from one side of the first substrate part and is folded;
a flat display panel accommodated in the first substrate part of the bezel, and including a pad part and a plurality of pixels; and
a flexible printed circuit board connected to the pad part and fixed to the second substrate part of the bezel,
wherein the first substrate part and the second substrate part have at least one opening at a location where the first and second substrate parts correspond to each other.
2. The FPD device according to claim 1 , wherein an electronic component is inserted into said at least one opening.
3. The FPD device according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board is attached to the second substrate part of the bezel by an adhesive tape.
4. The FPD device according to claim 1 , wherein the bent part has a hemming structure.
5. The FPD device according to claim 1 , wherein the flat display panel is attached to the first substrate part of the bezel by a cushion tape having adhesive tapes on one surface and another surface thereof.
6. The FPD device according to claim 5 , wherein the cushion tape is formed of a PORON material.
7. The FPD device according to claim 1 , wherein the bezel is formed of a conductive metallic material.
8. A flat panel display (FPD) device, comprising:
a bezel including a first substrate part having a bent part at an edge thereof, a second substrate part which extends from one side of the first substrate part and is folded, and a third substrate part which extends from one side of the second substrate part and is folded;
a flat display panel accommodated in the first substrate part of the bezel, and including a pad part and a plurality of pixels; and
a flexible printed circuit board connected to the pad part and fixed to the third substrate part of the bezel;
wherein the first, second and third substrate parts have at least one opening at a location where the first, second and third substrate parts correspond to one another.
9. The FPD device according to claim 8 , wherein an electronic component is inserted into said at least one opening.
10. The FPD device according to claim 8 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board is attached to the third substrate part of the bezel by an adhesive tape.
11. The FPD device according to claim 8 , wherein the bent part has a hemming structure.
12. The FPD device according to claim 8 , wherein the flat display panel is attached to the bezel by a cushion tape having adhesive tapes on one surface and another surface thereof.
13. The FPD device according to claim 12 , wherein the cushion tape is formed of a PORON material.
14. The FPD device according to claim 8 , wherein the bezel is formed of a conductive metallic material.
