Abstract

Claims (33)

1 . A display apparatus comprising:

a display panel;

a rear chassis configured to support the display panel; and

a light source module positioned on the rear chassis,

wherein the light source module comprises:

a light source configured to emit light periodically by power of a power source periodically applied so as to adjust an intensity of the light,

a light source board electrically connectable with the light source, the light source board configured to be periodically moved at least partially closer to the rear chassis based on the power of the power source periodically applied to the light source, and

a sound-absorbing layer positioned on the light source board and configured to be moved in and out of contact with the rear chassis with movement of the light source board so as to reduce noise caused by the light source board and the rear chassis.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sound-absorbing layer is positioned between the light source board and the rear chassis.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the sound-absorbing layer is configured to be attached to the light source board.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the light source board comprises:

a plurality of coupling portions configured to be coupled with the rear chassis, and

a vibrating portion arranged between the plurality of coupling portions to allow a distance from the rear chassis to be variable.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein

the light source board extends in a longitudinal direction, and

the plurality of coupling portions are arranged in the longitudinal direction.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a length of the light source board is 200 times or more than a thickness of the light source board.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein

the coupling portion of the light source board comprises a coupling hole,

the rear chassis comprises a coupling protrusion configured to penetrate the coupling hole and couple the rear chassis and the light source board, and

the sound-absorbing layer is coupled to the vibrating portion of the light source board to prevent shielding of the coupling hole.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the light source module comprises a light emitter configured to convert a wavelength of light emitted from the light source into a plurality of different wavelengths, and

the sound-absorbing layer comprises a first material and the light emitter comprises a second material, wherein the first and the second materials are same.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sound-absorbing layer is configured to cover a portion of a surface of the light source board facing the rear chassis.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the periodically applied power has a frequency of 500 Hz or higher.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein

the rear chassis comprises a metallic material, and

the light source board comprises a metallic material so as to generate metal friction noise in response to contact with the rear chassis.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sound-absorbing layer comprises an epoxy material.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the sound-absorbing layer has a thickness of 50 μm or less.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a power board configured to periodically turn on or off the power applied to the light source.

15 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sound-absorbing layer is attached to the light source board by a silkscreen printing method.
