Abstract

A flat panel display device including a display panel, a bezel having a substrate to support the display panel and configured to receive the display panel, and a bonding agent disposed between the substrate of the bezel and the display panel. Further, the substrate of the bezel and the display panel may be bonded and fixed to each other. Therefore, it is possible to provide a flat panel display device having a small thickness and capable of improving strength against an external pressure.

Claims (28)

1. A flat panel display device comprising:

a display panel;

a bezel having a substrate to support the display panel and configured to receive the display panel;

a bonding agent disposed between the substrate of the bezel and the display panel; and

a reinforcement part pressed into the substrate of the bezel in a spiral shape, a matrix shape, or a mesh shape.

2. The flat panel display device according to claim 1 , wherein the flat panel display device is any one of a liquid crystal display device, a field emission display device, and an organic light emitting diode display device.

3. The flat panel display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bezel further comprises:

a bent part formed by bending a periphery of the substrate in the same direction; and

a receiving part formed by the substrate and the bent part,

wherein the display panel is received in the receiving part.

4. The flat panel display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bezel is formed of a metal material or a plastic material.

5. The flat panel display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a device substrate having a pixel region, and an encapsulation substrate adhered to the device substrate by a sealant,

wherein the bonding agent is interposed between the substrate of the bezel and the device substrate.

6. The flat panel display device according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement part is pressed toward an outside of the substrate.

7. The flat panel display device according to claim 1 , wherein one or more reinforcement parts are formed.

8. The flat panel display device according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement part has a linear shape.

9. A flat panel display device, comprising:

a display panel;

a bezel having a substrate to support the display panel and configured to receive the display panel, characterized in that the substrate of the bezel and the display panel are bonded and fixed to each other; and

a reinforcement part pressed into the substrate of the bezel in a spiral shape, a matrix shape, or a mesh shame.

10. The flat panel display device according to claim 9 , wherein the bezel further comprises:

a bent part formed by bending a periphery of the substrate in the same direction; and

a receiving part formed by the substrate and the bent part,

wherein the display panel is received in the receiving part.

11. The flat panel display device according to claim 9 , wherein the display panel comprises a device substrate having a pixel region, and an encapsulation substrate adhered to the device substrate by a sealant,

wherein the substrate of the bezel and the device substrate are bonded to each other.

12. The flat panel display device according to claim 9 , wherein the reinforcement part is pressed toward an outside of the substrate.

13. The flat panel display device according to claim 9 , wherein the reinforcement part has a linear shape.
