Abstract

A display device attachment structure comprises a plate member configured to be attached to a rear housing of a display device and to which a component of the display device is configured to be attached, a fastening member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to a back surface of the rear housing opposite a display surface of the display device via a fastening hole, and a fixing member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to the back surface of the rear housing, the fixing member being a different type of fastener than the fastening member.

Claims (56)

1. A display device attachment structure, comprising:

a plate member configured to be attached to a rear housing of a display device and to which a component of the display device is configured to be attached;

a fastening member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to a back surface of the rear housing opposite a display surface of the display device via a fastening hole; and

a fixing member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to the back surface of the rear housing, the fixing member being a different type of fastener than the fastening member,

a surface of the plate member that faces the back surface of the rear housing being attached to the back surface of the rear housing in a state separated from the back surface of the rear housing by the fixing member and the fastening member.

2. The display device attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixing member includes a planar permanent magnet or an adhesive sheet.

3. The display device attachment structure according to claim 2 , further comprising

a beam configured to be attached to the back surface of the rear housing to reinforce the rear housing, the beam being configured to protrude toward a rear side relative to the rear housing,

the plate member being fixedly coupled to the beam by the fastening member.

4. The display device attachment structure according to claim 3 , wherein

the beam extends along a longitudinal direction of the rear housing.

5. The display device attachment structure according to claim 3 , wherein

the plate member has a flat portion that is configured to be substantially parallel to the back surface of the rear housing and a protruding portion that is bent relative to the flat portion and protrudes toward the rear side along the beam.

6. The display device attachment structure according to claim 5 , wherein

the plate member is configured to be fixed to the back surface of the rear housing by the planar permanent magnet or the adhesive sheet at the flat portion, and is fixed to the beam by a bolt as the fastening member at the protruding portion.

7. The display device attachment structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the surface of the plate member that faces the back surface of the rear housing is configured to be separated from the back surface of the rear housing by a thickness of the planar permanent magnet or the adhesive sheet.

8. The display device attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the fastening member is attached to one of an upper portion and a lower portion of the plate member, and the fixing member is attached to the other one of the upper portion and the lower portion of the plate member.

9. The display device attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the component includes a speaker.

10. The display device attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the plate member further includes a cover member attachment portion to which a cover member for covering the back surface of the display device is configured to be fixed.

11. The display device attachment structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the plate member further includes a wall mount attachment portion to which a wall mount for mounting the display device on a wall is configured to be attached.

12. A display device, comprising

a display having a display surface on which an image is displayed;

a rear housing attached to an opposite side of the display from the display surface;

a cover member covering at least a part of the rear housing; and

the display device attachment structure according to claim 1 .

13. The display device attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixing member is attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to the back surface of the rear housing without using a fastening hole and a fastening member.

14. The display device attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the plate member further includes a component attachment portion to which the component of the display device is configured to be attached.

15. The display device attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the fastening member includes a threaded fastener, and

the fixing member is a different type of fastener than the threaded fastener.

16. A display device attachment structure attaching method, comprising

fixing a plate member to which a component of a display device is attached to a back surface of a rear housing opposite a display surface of the display device by a fixing member; and

fixing the plate member to which the component of the display device is attached to the back surface of the rear housing by a fastening member via a fastening hole,

the fixing member being a different type of fastener than the fastening members,

a surface of the plate member that faces the back surface of the rear housing being attached to the back surface of the rear housing in a state separated from the back surface of the rear housing by the fixing member and the fastening member.

17. The display device attachment structure attaching method according to claim 16 , wherein

the fixing member includes a planar permanent magnet or an adhesive sheet.

18. A display device attachment structure, comprising:

a plate member configured to be attached to a rear housing of a display device and to which a component of the display device is configured to be attached;

a fastening member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to a back surface of the rear housing opposite a display surface of the display device via a fastening hole; and

a fixing member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to the back surface of the rear housing, the fixing member being a different type of fastener than the fastening member,

the plate member including an attachment hole through which the fastening member is disposed to be coupled to the fastening hole.

19. A display device attachment structure, comprising:

a plate member configured to be attached to a rear housing of a display device and to which a component of the display device is configured to be attached;

a fastening member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to a back surface of the rear housing opposite a display surface of the display device via a fastening hole; and

a fixing member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to the back surface of the rear housing, the fixing member being a different type of fastener than the fastening member,

the fixing member including a planar permanent magnet or an adhesive sheet, and

the planar permanent magnet being attached to the plate member by an adhesive sheet.
