Abstract

A frame casing according to the present invention is provided on side surfaces of a display section, and includes: a plurality of divided frames which are L-shaped and disposed along the side surfaces of the display section with adjacent ends thereof along a circumferential direction overlapping one another; and a attaching section which is formed in a middle of a circumferential direction of each of the plurality of divided frames and which attaches the plurality of divided frames to the side surfaces of the display section, total length of the divided frames along the circumferential direction being greater than total length of the side surfaces of the display section along the circumferential direction.

Claims (45)

1. A frame casing, comprising:

first and second divided frames,

the first divided frame including:

a first front wall section, the first front wall section comprising an inwardly folded wall section;

a first base section comprising first and second ends;

a second base section connected to the first end; and

a wall section provided at the second end,

the second divided frame including:

a second front wall section, the second front wall section also comprising an inwardly folded wall section;

a third base section; and

a fourth base section connected to the third base section,

the first and second divided frames being disposed on side surfaces of a display section so that the fourth base section overlaps with at least a portion of the wall section, and

a clearance being formed between the first base section and the fourth base section along a circumferential direction of the display section.

2. The frame casing according to claim 1 , wherein the first base section further comprises a first outer surface and a first inner surface, which is located in an opposite side of the first outer surface,

wherein the wall section extends in a longitudinal direction of the first base section,

wherein the fourth base section further comprises a second outer surface and a second inner surface, which is located in an opposite side of the second outer surface,

wherein the first outer surface of the first base section is flush with the second outer surface of the fourth base section, and

wherein the second inner surface of the fourth base section overlaps with at least the portion of the wall section.

3. The frame casing according to claim 1 , wherein the clearance provides a gap between the first divided frame and the second divided frame along the circumferential direction of the display section.

4. The frame casing according to claim 1 , wherein the wall section protrudes from the second end of the first base section along the circumferential direction of the display section.

5. The frame casing according to claim 4 , wherein the wall section is attached to an inner surface of the first base section and extends in a longitudinal direction of the first base section.

6. The frame casing according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the first base section is flush with an outer surface of the fourth base section.

7. A display device, comprising:

a display section; and

a frame casing comprising first and second divided frames,

the first divided frame including:

a first front wall section, the first front wall section comprising an inwardly folded wall section;

a first base section comprising first and second ends;

a second base section connected to the first end; and

a wall section provided at the second end,

the second divided frame including:

a second front wall section, the second front wall section also comprising an inwardly folded wall section;

a third base section; and

a fourth base section connected to the third base section,

the first and second divided frames being disposed on side surfaces of the display section so that the fourth base section overlaps with at least a portion of the wall section, and

a clearance being formed between the first base section and the fourth base section along a circumferential direction of the display section.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the first base section further comprises a first outer surface and a first inner surface which is located in an opposite side of the first outer surface,

wherein the wall section extends in a longitudinal direction of the first base section,

wherein the fourth base section further comprises a second outer surface and a second inner surface, which is located in an opposite side of the second outer surface,

wherein the first outer surface of the first base section is flush with the second outer surface of the fourth base section, and

wherein the second inner surface of the fourth base section overlaps with at least the portion of the wall section.

9. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the clearance provides a gap between the first divided frame and the second divided frame along the circumferential direction of the display section.

10. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the wall section protrudes from the second end of the first base section along the circumferential direction of the display section.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the wall section is attached to an inner surface of the first base section and extends in a longitudinal direction of the first base section.

12. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein an outer surface of the first base section is flush with an outer surface of the fourth base section.
