Abstract

A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a display panel, a module cover positioned at a rear of the display panel and coupled to the display panel, a plate positioned at a rear of the module cover, an adhesive member attached to at least a part of a front surface of the plate, a bracket positioned between the module cover and the plate and attached to the adhesive member, and a coupling unit positioned between the module cover and the bracket and fixing the module cover to the bracket.

Claims (40)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a module cover at a rear of the display panel, the module cover being coupled to the display panel;

a plate at a rear of the module cover;

an adhesive member attached to at least a part of a front surface of the plate;

a bracket between the module cover and the plate, the bracket being attached to the adhesive member and including an opening and a pipe wall formed around the opening; and

a coupling unit between the module cover and the bracket, the coupling unit including a fixing pin fixing the module cover to the bracket,

wherein the fixing pin includes a pin neck coupled with the pipe wall and a pin head extended from the pin neck.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling unit includes

a fastening hole on a rear surface of the module cover, the fastening hole being coupled to the fixing pin.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein:

the pipe wall protrudes toward a front of the bracket;

the pin neck faces the front surface of the bracket; and

the pin head is spaced apart from the pin neck toward the front of the bracket.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the pin neck is positioned outside the pipe wall, and

wherein a front end of the pipe wall is bent and is positioned between the pin head and the pin neck.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the fixing pin further includes a fixing hole in a lower surface of the fixing pin, and

wherein a front end of the pipe wall is bent, and an outer circumferential surface of the pipe wall contacts a front surface of the pin neck.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the pin head has a first diameter,

wherein the pin neck has a second diameter less than the first diameter, and

wherein the fixing hole has a third diameter less than the second diameter.

7. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the fixing pin includes a first fixing pin and a second fixing pin,

wherein the first fixing pin is positioned at one of a left upper end and a right upper end of the front surface of the bracket, and

wherein the second fixing pin is positioned at the other of the left upper end and the right upper end of the front surface of the bracket.

8. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the bracket includes:

an upper bracket positioned at an upper side of the front surface of the plate and extended in a left-right direction;

a first lower bracket disposed near a left lower corner of the front surface of the plate; and

a second lower bracket disposed near a right lower corner of the front surface of the plate,

wherein the fixing pin includes first to fourth fixing pins,

wherein the first fixing pin is disposed adjacent to one of left and right sides of the upper bracket,

wherein the second fixing pin is disposed adjacent to the other of the left and right sides of the upper bracket,

wherein the third fixing pin is disposed on the first lower bracket, and

wherein the fourth fixing pin is disposed on the second lower bracket.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the adhesive member includes:

an upper adhesive member positioned between the upper bracket and the plate and attaching the upper bracket to the front surface of the plate;

a first lower adhesive member positioned between the first lower bracket and the plate and attaching the first lower bracket to the front surface of the plate; and,

a second lower adhesive member positioned between the second lower bracket and the plate and attaching the second lower bracket to the front surface of the plate.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a coupling auxiliary member between the module cover and the bracket, the coupling auxiliary member having magnetic properties.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the coupling auxiliary member is attached to a rear surface of the module cover or a front surface of the bracket.

12. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a reinforced film at the rear of the module cover, the reinforced film being attached to the front surface or a rear surface of the plate.
