2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a guide chamber configured to guide air from the closed flow generator into the first space and the second space.
3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the guide chamber comprises an angled guide surface such that an opening of the guide chamber proximate to the closed flow generator is wider than an opening of the guide chamber proximate to the first space.
4. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a hinge unit configured to hingedly couple the front case and the rear case; and
a gas spring unit configured to provide a pressurized force when the rear case is opened from the front case.
5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the closed flow generator comprises:
one or more fans; and
a fan bracket configured to form an air passage between the one or more fans and a rear of the closed flow generator,
wherein the fan bracket comprises at least one support wall partitioning the air passage.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the closed flow generator comprises a fan bracket configured to form an air passage between one or more fans of the closed flow generator and a rear of the closed flow generator;
the rear case comprises a lower duct hole corresponding to the rear of the closed flow generator and configured to permit air to flow between the closed heat exchange part and the fan bracket; and
a fan bracket gasket is disposed between the fan bracket and the rear case at the lower duct hole.
7. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a gasket disposed between the front case and the rear case.
8. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a panel drive unit coupled to a rear surface of the backlight unit and disposed in the second space; and
a connection lead configured to electrically couple the panel drive unit to one or more electronic components coupled to a rear surface of the middle frame via a through-hole at the middle frame.
9. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a pixel bracket disposed at an edge of the display panel and coupled to the display panel and the backlight unit; and
a pixel sensor coupled to the pixel bracket and disposed to be overlapped with a front portion of the display panel to sense information displayed at the front portion of the display panel.
10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the pixel bracket has a C shape having an opening configured to accommodate a combined thickness of the display panel and the backlight unit.
11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the closed flow generator comprises a plurality of fans aligned along a first axis;
the open flow generator comprises a plurality of fans aligned along a second axis; and
the first axis and the second axis are perpendicular.
12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the closed flow generator is disposed at a first side of the display device;
the open flow generator is disposed at a second side of the display device; and
the first side and the second side are adjacent.
13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the closed flow generator comprises a plurality of fans configured to draw air from the first, second, and third spaces and into the closed heat exchange part.
14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the rear case comprises:
an upper bracket disposed above the closed heat exchange part and configured to permit air flow between the first, second, and third spaces and the closed heat exchange part; and
a lower bracket disposed below the closed heat exchange part and configured to permit air flow between the closed heat exchange part and the closed flow generator.
15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein:
the rear case further comprises a front plate and a rear plate, wherein the upper bracket, the lower bracket, and the closed heat exchange part are disposed between the front plate and the rear plate; and
