Abstract

The present invention provides a display device, including a display unit having a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices and outputting light to an upper surface thereof, a transparent substrate located on an upper side of the display unit and having a fixing portion protruding from one surface thereof to surround a side surface of the display unit, an elastic portion located to cover a lower surface of the display unit and made of an elastic member, a first back cover coupled to a part of the transparent substrate not overlapping the display unit in an injection manner, and a second back cover located to overlap the display unit and fixed to the first back cover, wherein the elastic portion presses the display unit toward the transparent substrate.

Claims (26)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display unit including a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices and outputting light to an upper surface thereof;

a transparent substrate located on an upper side of the display unit and including a fixing portion protruding from one surface thereof to surround a side surface of the display unit;

an elastic portion located to cover a lower surface of the display unit and made of an elastic member;

a first back cover coupled to a part of the transparent substrate not overlapping the display unit in an injection manner; and

a second back cover located to overlap the display unit and fixed to the first back cover,

wherein the elastic portion is configured to press the display unit toward the transparent substrate.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a filter layer located on another surface of the transparent substrate and including a semi-transmissive region for transmitting a part of incident light therethrough, and a non-transmissive region made of an opaque material,

wherein the display unit is located to overlap the semi-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 second back cover is located to press the elastic portion.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein a height of the fixing portion is greater than a thickness of the display unit.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein a part of the elastic portion is surrounded by the fixing portion.

7. The device of claim 3 , wherein a part of the elastic portion is located between the fixing portion and the second back cover, and

wherein a part of the elastic portion is configured to press the fixing portion.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the fixing portion includes a concave-convex structure located on one surface thereof pressed by the elastic portion.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second back cover includes a second fixing portion protruding to surround a side surface of the elastic portion.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the second fixing portion is located to be in contact with the transparent substrate.

11. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board located on one surface of the transparent substrate to apply 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.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the first back cover is coupled to another region, except for a region connected to the connection electrode, of an entire region of the circuit board, in an injection manner.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the second back cover is located to overlap the region connected to the connection electrode of the entire region of the circuit board.

14. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a first adhesive layer located between the transparent substrate and the display unit to adhere the transparent substrate and the display unit to each other.

15. The device of claim 14 , further comprising a second adhesive layer located between the display unit and the elastic portion to adhere the display unit and the elastic portion to each other,

wherein the second adhesive layer includes adhesive strength stronger than that of the first adhesive layer.
