Abstract

A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a first substrate, a frame positioned in the rear of the first substrate, a second substrate opposite the first substrate and positioned between the first substrate and the frame, the second substrate having an area less than an area of the first substrate, and a member layer electrically connected to the first substrate and extended toward the frame.

Claims (35)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a side frame extended along a side of the display panel, wherein the side frame comprises a flat portion facing a part of the back surface of the display panel,

a main frame and coupled with the side frame;

a light source between the display panel and the main frame;

a timing controller board installed at a rear of the main frame;

a first adhesive member attached on the flat portion;

a second adhesive member attached on a back surface of the side frame; and

a back cover at a rear of the main frame,

wherein a part of the back surface of the display panel is attached on the first adhesive member, and a part of the main frame is attached on the second adhesive member,

wherein the side frame includes a first part along a first short side of the display panel and a second part bent from the first part of the side frame along a first long side of the display panel,

wherein a groove is formed between the first part and the second part of the side frame,

wherein a bracket is extended along a second long side of the display panel opposite to the first long side of the display panel and coupled with a lower end of the main frame,

wherein the first part of the side frame includes a groove corresponding to a part of an end of the bracket, and

wherein a bottom frame is extended along the bracket and coupled with a lower end of the first part of the side frame and the back cover is fixed to the bottom frame by a fastening member.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first part of the side frame includes one end part extended with a predetermined distance from the bracket such that the one end part of the first part of the side frame is protruding with respect to the bracket in a lengthwise direction of the first part.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the bottom frame is fixed to the one end part of the first part of the side frame.

4. The display device of claim 3 , further comprising a FPCB extended from the second long side of the display panel and electrically connected with the display panel, and

wherein the FPCB is passing between the second long side of the display panel and the bottom frame.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the bracket is disposed at the lower end of the main frame and coupled with the main frame with a fastening member, and

wherein the FPCB extends and covers the bracket in a cross direction of the lengthwise direction of the bracket.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the bottom frame covers the FPCB and the second long side of the display panel.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive member overlaps the second adhesive member in a thickness direction of the flat portion of the side frame.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the flat portion of the side frame includes an inner edge opposite to the inclined portion with respect to the flat portion and an outer edge opposite to the inner edge with respect to the flat portion, and

wherein the inner edge of the flat portion is closer to the first adhesive member than the second adhesive member.

9. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the first adhesive member is mis-aligned with the second adhesive member in the thickness direction of the flat portion.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the side frame covers a side of the main frame such that the side frame covers the second adhesive member.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the part of the end of the bracket is inserted into the groove of the first part of the side frame.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive member includes a horizontal adhesive member and a vertical adhesive member, and

wherein the horizontal adhesive member includes a cut-out portion into which an end of the vertical adhesive member is aligned or inserted.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the cut-out portion of the horizontal adhesive member forms a step shape such that the end of the vertical adhesive member is disposed at the step shape of the cut-out portion of the horizontal adhesive member.

14. The display device of claim 12 , wherein a first width of the horizontal adhesive member is greater than a second width of the cut-out portion of the horizontal adhesive member.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the side frame further includes a third part bent from the second part of the side frame along a second short side of the display panel opposite the first short side of the display panel, and

wherein the third part of the side frame includes a groove into which a part of the other end of the bracket is inserted.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the bottom frame is coupled with the first part of the side frame and the third part of the side frame adjacent to the groove of the first part and the groove of the third part.
