Abstract

A display device according to the present embodiment includes a display panel; and a corrugated panel facing a rear surface of the display panel and having a corrugated core disposed between a front skin and a rear skin.

Claims (53)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a module cover; and

a corrugated panel configured to support the display panel,

wherein the corrugated panel is disposed at a rear of the display panel and comprises a corrugated core disposed between a front skin and a rear skin,

wherein the module cover is configured to cover the display panel and the corrugated panel, and a first adhesive member attaches the front skin or the rear skin to the module cover,

wherein the module cover comprises:

a first body configured to cover a lateral side between a rear surface of the display panel and a front surface of the front skin; and

a second body which extends from the first body and is disposed between the front skin and the display panel,

wherein the first adhesive member is attached to the front skin and the second body.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the corrugated panel comprises a plurality of first spaces defined between the front skin and the corrugated core a plurality of second spaces defined between the corrugated core and the rear skin, and

wherein the plurality of first spaces and the plurality of second spaces are elongated along a vertical direction.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a thickness of the rear skin is greater than or equal to a thickness of the corrugated core.

4. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a thickness of the corrugated core is less than or equal to a thickness of the front skin.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second adhesive member which is attached to the front skin and the display panel.

6. The display device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the display panel is an OLED, and

wherein the second adhesive member is attached to a rear surface of the OLED.

7. The display device according to claim 5 ,

wherein a thickness of the corrugated panel is thicker than a thickness of the first adhesive member and a thickness of the second adhesive member.

8. The display device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

wherein a width of the first body in a front and rear direction is thicker than a sum of thicknesses of the first adhesive member, the corrugated panel, the second adhesive member, and the display panel.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second adhesive member which is attached to the second body and the display panel.

10. The display device according to claim 9 ,

wherein a thickness of the corrugated panel is thicker than a thickness of the first adhesive member and a thickness of the second adhesive member.

11. The display device according to claim 9 ,

wherein a width of the first body in a front and rear direction is thicker than a sum of the thicknesses of the corrugated panel, the second adhesive member, and the display panel.

12. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the corrugated core comprises:

a first core portion which has a first width in a front and rear direction, and

at least one second core portion which has a second width smaller than the first width in the front and rear direction.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein:

a portion at the front skin is recessed and corresponds to the second core portion;

the recessed portion is stepped down from a portion of the front skin corresponding to the first core portion;

the recessed portion is spaced apart from the display panel and the first adhesive member is attached to the recessed portion; and

the second body is accommodated in the recessed portion.

14. The display device according to claim 13 ,

wherein a recessed depth of the recessed portion is greater than or equal to a sum of the thicknesses of the first adhesive member and the second body.

15. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein:

a portion at the front skin is recessed and corresponds to the second core;

the recessed portion is stepped down from a portion of the front skin corresponding to the first core portion;

the recessed portion is spaced apart from the display panel; and

a nut is fixed to the second core and the recessed portion.

16. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein:

a portion at the rear skin is recessed and corresponds to the second core portion;

the recessed portion is stepped down from a portion of the rear skin corresponding to the first core portion; and

a nut is fixed to the recessed portion.

17. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the corrugated panel comprises a bent portion bent to protrude in a rearward direction.
