a frame protrusion protruding from the vertical portion,
wherein the inner frame comprises a coupling hole which faces the vertical portion of the rear frame and into which the frame protrusion is inserted.
3. The display device of claim 1 ,
wherein the horizontal portion of the outer frame supports a rear surface of the display panel; and
wherein the outer frame comprises a line groove formed to be recessed in the vertical portion of the outer frame and into which the locking protrusion of the inner frame is inserted.
4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the outer frame further comprises a hook line positioned adjacent to the line groove and configured to be engaged with the locking protrusion of the inner frame.
5. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the inner frame comprises at least a pair of slits at an outer surface of the inner frame, wherein each slit is positioned opposite each other with respect to the coupling hole.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inner frame further comprises an accommodation portion formed in the frame wall.
7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the inner frame further comprises a first pad fixed to the accommodation portion of the inner frame to contact the horizontal portion of the outer frame.
8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the inner frame further comprises a coupling rib protruding from the support surface of the inner frame and elongated in a length direction of the inner frame,
wherein the outer frame further comprises a rib hole formed at the horizontal portion of the outer frame and into which the coupling rib is inserted.
9. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising an optical sheet positioned between the inner frame and the outer frame, and secured by the coupling rib.
10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inner frame further comprises:
a recessed portion at the support surface of the inner frame; and
a second pad fixed to the recessed portion,
wherein the optical layer is disposed on the second pad.
