Claims (32)

1. A display device comprising: a display panel; a panel disposed at a rear of the display panel; the panel comprising a core disposed between a front skin and a rear skin; a module cover configured to cover the display panel and the panel; the module cover comprising a first body and a second body which extends from the first body and is disposed between the front skin and the display panel; and a first adhesive member disposed between the front skin and the second body, wherein the 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, and wherein: a portion at the front skin is recessed and corresponds to the second core portion; the recessed portion is stepped down form 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.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

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

4. The display device according to claim 1 ,

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

5. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a material of the core is different from a material of the front skin and a material of the rear skin.

6. The display device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the front skin and the rear skin are made of aluminum.

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

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

8. The display device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the display panel is an OLED, and

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

9. The display device according to claim 7 ,

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

10. The display device according to claim 7 , 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 panel, the second adhesive member, and the display panel.

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

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

12. The display device according to claim 11 ,

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

13. The display device according to claim 11 ,

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

14. The display device according to claim 1 , 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 1 , 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 1 , 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 panel comprises a bent portion bent to protrude in a rearward direction.

18. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first body covers a lateral side between the rear surface of the display panel and the front surface of the front skin.
