Flat panel display device
View Patent ↗A flat panel display device having improved drop characteristics, that minimize a drop shock of the flat panel display device by controlling the size of a shock-absorbing tape, the flat panel display device including: a display panel having a display part to display an image and a pad part; a supporting member configured to support the display panel; and the shock-absorbing tape disposed between the display panel and the supporting member. The shock-absorbing tape is in contact with the display part of the display panel and ⅓ to ⅚ of the pad part of the display panel.
1. A flat panel display device, comprising:
a display panel having a display part to display an image and a pad part that does not display the image;
a supporting member to support the display panel; and
a shock-absorbing tape disposed between the display panel and the supporting member, the shock-absorbing tape being in contact with the display part of the display panel and ⅓ to ⅚ of the pad part of the display panel.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a first substrate and a second substrate having a smaller area than the first substrate, and the shock-absorbing tape is disposed between the first substrate and the supporting member.
3. The device as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
a polarizer disposed on the second substrate of the display panel.
4. The device as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
a touch panel disposed on the second substrate of the display panel.
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting member is formed of a metal or synthetic resin.
6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shock-absorbing tape is a double-sided tape.
7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shock-absorbing tape is an insulating tape.
8. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shock-absorbing tape is formed of a metal or synthetic resin.
9. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the display part of the display panel is an area in which the first substrate and the second substrate overlap.
10. The device as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
a polarizer disposed on the second substrate of the display panel;
a touch panel to receive an input signal; and
an ESP tape disposed between the touch panel and the polarizer.
11. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a driving driver provided on the pad part to convert a received image signal into an image signal displayable by the display part as the image.
12. A flat panel display device, comprising:
a display panel having a display part to display an image and a pad part that does not display the image;
a supporting member to support the display panel;
a touch panel to receive an input signal; and
a shock-absorbing tape disposed between the display panel and the supporting member, the shock-absorbing tape being in contact with all of the display part of the display panel and up to ⅚ of the pad part of the display panel.
13. The device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the display panel comprises a first substrate and a second substrate having a smaller area than the first substrate, and the shock-absorbing tape is disposed between the first substrate and the supporting member.
14. The device as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising:
a polarizer disposed on the second substrate of the display panel.
15. The device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the supporting member is formed of a metal or synthetic resin.
16. The device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the shock-absorbing tape is a double-sided tape.
17. The device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the display part of the display panel is an area in which the first substrate and the second substrate overlap.
18. A flat panel display device, comprising:
a display panel having a display part to display an image and a pad part that does not display the image;
a supporting member to support the display panel; and
a shock-absorbing tape disposed between the display panel and the supporting member, the shock-absorbing tape being in contact with all of the display part of the display panel.
19. The device as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the shock-absorbing tape is in contact with all of the display part and ⅓ to ⅚ of the pad part of the display panel.
20. The device as claimed in claim 18 , further comprising:
a touch panel to receive an input signal,
wherein the shock-absorbing tape is in contact with up to ⅚ of the pad part of the display panel.
