DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display, a circuit substrate, connector terminals, a first cover, a second cover, and a fastening member. The circuit substrate includes a first side and a second side adjacent to the first side, and overlaps a second face of the display. The connector terminals are disposed at a vicinity of each of the first side and the second side. The first cover includes a first opening exposing the connector terminals therethrough, and covers the second face. The second cover includes a linking portion and a noncircular through hole, and covers the first opening across the first side and the second side. The linking portion is positioned in between the first side and the second side. The fastening member is inserted through the through hole so as to fix the second cover, the circuit substrate, and the display.
1 . A display device comprising:
a first face and a second face, the first face comprising a display screen, the second face being on an opposite side of the first face;
a circuit substrate comprising a first side and a second side, the second side adjacent to the first side;
a first plurality of connector terminals on the first side and a second plurality of terminals on the second side of the circuit substrate;
a cover comprising a linking portion and a through hole, and covering the first opening across the first side and the second side of the circuit substrate, the linking portion being positioned in between the first side and the second side; and
a fastening member in the through hole of cover, the fastening member mechanically coupling the cover, the circuit substrate, and the display.
2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises openings exposing the connector terminals therethrough.
3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein a bending portion bent in the direction of the second face from the second openings is at an edge of the second opening.
4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein
the cover comprises a first facing portion and a second facing portion, the first facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the first side of the circuit substrate and the second facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the second side of the circuit substrate, and
the linking portion links the first facing portion and the second facing portion with each other, and is thinner than the first facing portion and the second facing portion.
5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein, the linking portion is positioned closer to the second face than the first face.
6 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein,
the cover comprises a fixing piece in the through hole, the fixing piece protruding from either one of the first facing portion and the second facing portion in a direction above the circuit substrate, and
a warp portion at a leading end of the fixing piece, the warp portion bent in a direction away from the circuit substrate.
7 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein
the cover comprises a fixing piece, the fixing piece comprising the through hole, the fixing piece protruding from either one of the first facing portion or the second facing portion toward the circuit substrate, and
the fixing piece is configured by cutting and raising at least a portion of either one the first facing portion and the second facing portion on a side of the second face.
8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the through hole comprises a locking side portion so as to restrict movement of the cover.
9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the through hole is noncircular.
10 . A display device comprising:
a housing comprising at least one opening;
a display screen in the housing;
a circuit substrate in the housing, the circuit substrate comprising a first side and a second side;
a first plurality of connector terminals at the first side and a second plurality of connector terminals on the second side of the circuit substrate, and at least of the terminals of the first or second plurality of connector terminals exposed through the at least one opening; and
a cover member located over the first side and the second side of the circuit substrate.
11 . A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:
positioning a circuit substrate between a rearface of a display housing and a display screen, the circuit substrate comprising a first side and a second side adjacent to the first side;
positioning a side cover comprising a first facing portion, a second facing portion and a linking portion so that the first facing portion is in proximity to the first side of the circuit substrate, the side cover comprising a through hole;
bending the side cover at the linking portion; and
mechanically coupling the side cover and the circuit substrate using a fastening member inserted through the through hole.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the through hole is noncircular.
