Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a display module including a display panel configured to display an image, a vibration plate on a rear surface of the display module, a connection member between the rear surface of the display module and the vibration plate, at least one vibration module on the vibration plate, and an enclosure between the display module and the vibration plate, the enclosure being spaced apart from the vibration module, the enclosure surrounding the vibration module.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a vibration plate;

at least one vibration-generating device on the vibration plate, the at least one vibration-generating device comprising a pair of first sides parallel to a first direction, each first side having a first length; and

an enclosure surrounding the at least one vibration-generating device on the vibration plate, the enclosure comprising a third length parallel to the first direction, the third length being larger than the first length,

wherein:

the at least one vibration-generating device further comprises a pair of second sides parallel to a second direction, each of the pair of second sides having a second length, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction;

the enclosure further comprises a fourth length parallel to the second direction, the fourth length being larger than the second length; and

a second distance between the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure is 0.5 to 1.5 times the second length.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a first distance between the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure is larger than the first length.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first length is larger than a second distance between the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a second distance between the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure is larger than the first length.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first length is shorter than the second length.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a first distance between the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure is larger than the second length.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a first distance between the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure is shorter than the second length.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises one or more of a double-sided adhesive tape, a double-sided adhesive pad, and a double-sided foam pad.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one vibration-generating device comprises a piezoelectric material layer.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vibration plate comprises one or more of: magnesium, aluminum, aluminum alloy material, magnesium alloy material, and a magnesium-lithium alloy material.

11. An apparatus, comprising:

a vibration plate;

at least one vibration-generating device on the vibration plate, the at least one vibration-generating device comprising:

a pair of first sides parallel to a first direction, each of the pair of first sides having a first length parallel to the first direction, the first direction being parallel to a front surface of the vibration plate; and

a pair of second sides parallel to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, each of the pair of second sides having a second length parallel to the first direction, the second direction being parallel to the front surface the vibration plate; and

an enclosure surrounding the at least one vibration-generating device on the vibration plate,

wherein a first distance in the first direction between each of the pair of first sides of the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure is larger than the first length, and

wherein a second distance in the second direction between each of the pair of second sides of the at least one vibration-generating device and the enclosure is shorter than at least one of the first length and the second length.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein:

the first distance is shorter than the second length.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first length is shorter than the second length.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the vibration plate comprises one or more of: magnesium, aluminum, aluminum alloy material, magnesium alloy material, and a magnesium-lithium alloy material.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the at least one vibration-generating device comprises a piezoelectric material layer.
