The display device according to the present disclosure comprises: a display panel; a frame located at the rear of the display panel; a plate coupled to the frame at the rear of the frame; and a back cover for covering the rear of the plate, wherein the plate comprises a damper arranged between the plate and the back cover and extended or contracted in the anteroposterior direction.

Claims (28)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a frame located rearward relative to the display panel;

a plate coupled to the frame at a rear of the frame; and

a back cover to cover a rear of the plate,

wherein the plate comprises a damper that is disposed between the plate and the back cover and is configured to be stretched or compressed in a front-and-rear direction,

wherein the frame comprises a first pem nut that protrudes from the frame toward the plate so as to pass through the plate,

wherein the plate further comprises a second pem nut that protrudes from the plate toward the back cover and is adjacent to the first pem nut, and

wherein the first pem nut and the second pem nut are coupled to the back cover.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a space is formed between the plate and the back cover, and

wherein the damper has a front end that is fixed to the plate and a rear end that is in contact with an inner surface of the back cover.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the damper comprises:

an elastic member elongated in a front-and-rear direction, the elastic member being configured to be stretched or compressed in a longitudinal direction thereof; and

a head fixed to an end of the elastic member, the head being in contact with the inner surface of the back cover.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the elastic member is a spring.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the head is a ball or a roller.

6. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the plate further comprises a supporter that protrudes from the plate toward the back cover, and

wherein the damper further comprises a damper body that defines an inner space in which the elastic member is installed and is fixed to one side of the supporter.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein a screw thread is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the damper body, and

wherein the damper body is screwed to an inside of the supporter.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plate further comprises a rigid portion formed by being pressed rearward from the plate.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the damper is provided in a region other than the rigid portion of the plate.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the back cover comprises a protruding portion that is formed by being pressed rearward from the back cover and to which the first pem nut and the second pem nut are coupled.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second pem nut is spaced apart from the damper, and

wherein the plate is spaced forward from the back cover in an area between the second pem nut and the damper.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plate includes a metal material.

13. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a coupling part disposed between the display panel and the frame, the coupling part having elasticity.
