In-vehicle display device using semiconductor light-emitting device

1. A display device, comprising:

a display unit comprising a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices that are configured to output light to an upper surface of the display unit;

a transparent substrate located on an upper side of the display unit, the transparent substrate comprising a fixing portion that protrudes from a surface of the transparent substrate and that surrounds a side surface of the display unit, wherein the transparent substrate and the fixing portion are made of a same material;

a protective layer that is located at a lower surface of the display unit and that covers the lower surface of the display unit and the fixing portion of the transparent substrate; and

a back cover connected to the protective layer and at least one of the fixing portion or the surface of the transparent substrate,

wherein the protective layer is located between the display unit and the back cover and configured to prevent the display unit from being damaged.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a filter layer located on another surface of the transparent substrate, and having a semi-transmissive region through which a part of incident light is transmitted, and a non-transmissive region made of a non-transparent material,

wherein the display unit is located to overlap the non-transmissive region of the filter layer.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the fixing portion is located on an edge of the semi-transmissive region so that the display unit overlaps the semi-transmissive region.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the protective layer is implemented as a film type.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the protective layer is attached to the fixing portion.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the fixing portion includes a concave-convex structure that is located on one surface thereof and that is attached to the protective layer.

7. The device of claim 3 , wherein the protective layer is a cure type layer on the lower surface of the display unit.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the fixing portion has an inner surface facing the display unit and an outer surface facing opposite to the inner surface, and

wherein the protective layer covers at least part of the outer surface of the fixing portion.

9. The device of claim 3 , wherein the protective layer comprises:

a first region formed in a film type and located to cover the lower surface of the display unit; and

a second region located on an edge of the first region and the fixing portion.

10. The device of claim 3 , wherein the protective layer is formed of a metal sheet.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the display unit is adhered and fixed to one surface of the metal sheet.

12. The device of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive portion located between the display unit and the transparent substrate such that the display unit is closely adhered on one surface of the transparent substrate.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein a sum of thicknesses of the display unit and the adhesive portion is smaller than a height of the fixing portion.

14. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board located on one surface of the transparent substrate and applying a voltage to the display unit; and

a connection electrode electrically connecting the circuit board and the display unit to each other,

wherein a part of the connection electrode is located on the fixing portion.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the back cover is injected so as to cover the circuit board, and

wherein the protective layer is located to cover at least part of the circuit board.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the transparent substrate overlapping the display unit is curved, and the display unit is flexible.

17. The device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing portion protrudes from a bottom surface of the transparent substrate toward a top surface of the protective layer, and defines a space that accommodates the display unit.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein the top surface of the protective layer contacts the lower surface of the display unit and a lower surface of the fixing portion.

19. The device of claim 17 , wherein the protective layer protrudes laterally outward relative to a side surface of the fixing portion.

20. The device of claim 17 , further comprising an adhesive layer that is disposed within the space defined by the fixing portion and that is disposed between an upper surface of the display unit and the bottom surface of the transparent substrate.
