Display device with elastic members having portions of different hardness or different widths
View Patent ↗A display device includes a display panel having a front surface and a back surface, a first and second frame, a first elastic member arranged between the first frame and the front surface of the display panel, and a second elastic member arranged between the second frame and the back surface of the display panel, the second elastic member extending in parallel to the first elastic member. A hardness of the first elastic member varies along an elongated direction of the first elastic member so as to have a high-hardness portion, and wherein a hardness of a first portion of the second elastic member which corresponds in location to the high-hardness portion of the first elastic member has a low hardness, a hardness of a second portion of the second elastic member which corresponds in location to the low-harness portion of the first elastic member has a high hardness.
1. A display device comprising:
a display panel having a front surface and a back surface;
a first frame and a second frame;
a first elastic member arranged between the first frame and the front surface of the display panel; and
a second elastic member arranged between the second frame and the back surface of the display panel, and the second elastic member extending in parallel to the first elastic member;
wherein a hardness of the first elastic member varies along an elongated direction of the first elastic member so as to have a high-hardness portion; and
wherein a hardness of a first portion of the second elastic member which corresponds in location to the high-hardness portion of the first elastic member has a low-hardness, and a hardness of a second portion of the second elastic member which corresponds in location to the low-hardness portion of the first elastic member has a high-hardness.
2. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first elastic member has a center portion and an end portion along the elongated direction, and a hardness of the center portion and a hardness of the end portion are different.
3. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein a hardness of the first elastic member and a hardness of the second elastic member at a corner portion of the peripheral portion of the display panel are substantially equal.
4. A display device comprising:
a display panel having a front surface and a back surface;
a first frame and a second frame;
a first elastic member arranged between the first frame and the front surface of the display panel; and
a second elastic member arranged between the second frame and the back surface of the display panel and the second elastic member extending in parallel to the first elastic member;
wherein a width of the first elastic member varies along an elongated direction of the first elastic member; and
wherein a width of a first portion of the second elastic member which corresponds in location to the wide portion of the first elastic member has a narrow width, and a width of a second portion of the second elastic member which corresponds in location to the narrow portion of the first elastic member has a wide width.
5. A display device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the first elastic member and the second elastic member has a center portion and an end portion along the elongated direction, and a width of the center portion of the peripheral portion of the display panel are substantially equal.
6. A display device according to claim 4 , wherein a width of the first elastic member and a width of the second elastic member at a corner portion of the peripheral portion of the display panel are substantially equal.
