Abstract

A display assembly includes a display unit including a display, a main panel connected to a rear surface of the display unit, and a rear cover connected to a rear surface of the main panel, wherein the rear cover is fixed to the main panel in a first direction perpendicular to a surface of the display, and the rear cover is fixed to the main panel in a second direction parallel to the surface of the display.

Claims (51)

1 . A display assembly comprising:

a display unit including a display and a rear surface, the display having a surface;

a main panel disposed on the rear surface of the display unit and having a rear surface; and

a rear cover disposed on the rear surface of the main panel,

wherein the main panel and the rear cover are configured such that the rear cover is coupled to the main panel by moving the rear cover on the rear surface of the main panel in a first direction perpendicular to the surface of the display and then in a second direction parallel to the surface of the display,

wherein the main panel includes a first coupler comprising:

a first vertical protruding piece protruding in the first direction from the main panel; and

a first horizontal protruding piece protruding in the second direction from an end of the first vertical protruding piece,

wherein the rear cover includes a second coupler coupled to the first coupler and comprising:

a second vertical protruding piece protruding in the first direction from the rear cover; and

a second horizontal protruding piece protruding in the second direction from an end of the second vertical protruding piece,

wherein the first and second horizontal protruding pieces protrude respectively in mutually opposite directions, and the rear cover is moved in the second direction to have the first and second horizontal protruding pieces engage with each other,

wherein the main panel further includes a third coupler having a vertically symmetrical shape and protruding in the first direction, the third coupler including a head and an extension extending from the head in the second direction, wherein an edge of the head includes a circular arc, and the extension extends from both ends of the circular arc, and

wherein the rear cover includes a fourth coupler coupled to the third coupler.

2 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the fourth coupler includes:

an entry hole disposed corresponding to the third coupler; and

a head receiving portion disposed corresponding to the head,

the entry hole of the fourth coupler has a space extending to the head receiving portion, and

the third coupler has a portion disposed at the entry hole of the fourth coupler, and is configured to move in the second direction to press-fit the head to the head receiving portion.

3 . The display assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

an inner surface of the first horizontal protruding piece has a first slope, and

an inner surface of the second horizontal protruding piece has a second slope corresponding to and in contact with the first slope of the first horizontal protruding piece.

4 . The display assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

an edge of the extension has a third slope; and

an inner surface of the entry hole of the fourth coupler has a fourth slope corresponding to the third slope of the extension.

5 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein a central angle of the circular arc of the edge of the head is at least 180 degrees.

6 . The display assembly of claim 5 , wherein the main panel includes:

a through-hole configured for screw-coupling; and

a slit extending through the main panel along a peripheral part of the through-hole, the slit being spaced apart from a center of the through-hole.

7 . A display assembly comprising:

a display unit including a display and a rear surface, the display having a surface;

a main panel disposed on the rear surface of the display unit and having a rear surface; and

a rear cover disposed on the rear surface of the main panel,

wherein the main panel and the rear cover are configured such that the rear cover is coupled to the main panel by moving the rear cover on the rear surface of the main panel in a first direction perpendicular to the surface of the display and then in a second direction parallel to the surface of the display,

wherein the main panel includes a first coupler, and the rear cover includes a second coupler coupled to the first coupler,

wherein the first coupler has a vertically symmetrical shape and protruding in the first direction,

wherein the first coupler includes a head and an extension extending from the head in the second direction, and

wherein an edge of the head includes a circular arc, and the extension extends from both ends of the circular arc.

8 . A method of assembling a display assembly including a display unit including a display and a rear surface, the display having a surface, a main panel disposed on the rear surface of the display assembly and having a rear surface, and rear cover, the method comprising:

moving the rear cover on the rear surface of the main panel in a first direction perpendicular to the surface of the display; and

after moving the rear cover in the first direction, moving the rear cover in a second direction parallel to the surface of the display to press-fit the rear cover with the main panel,

wherein the main panel includes a first coupler comprising:

a first vertical protruding piece protruding in the first direction from the main panel; and

a first horizontal protruding piece protruding in the second direction from an end of the first vertical protruding piece,

wherein the rear cover includes a second coupler coupled to the first coupler and comprising:

a second vertical protruding piece protruding in the first direction from the rear cover; and

a second horizontal protruding piece protruding in the second direction from an end of the second vertical protruding piece,

wherein the first and second horizontal protruding pieces protrude respectively in mutually opposite directions, and the rear cover is moved in the second direction to have the first and second horizontal protruding pieces engage with each other,

wherein the main panel further includes a third coupler having a vertically symmetrical shape and protruding in the first direction, the third coupler including a head and an extension extending from the head in the second direction, wherein an edge of the head includes a circular arc, and the extension extends from both ends of the circular arc, and

wherein the rear cover includes a fourth coupler coupled to the third coupler.
