FIG. 1 is a front view of a display device according to an embodiment of the invention.FIG. 2 is a rear view of the display device ofFIG. 1 .FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the display device ofFIG. 1 . The structure of the invention can be applied to a display device having a backlight source or a display device without a backlight source (a self-luminous display device), where the display device having the backlight source can be a liquid crystal display (LCD). The display device without the backlight source can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device. In the following first embodiment, the structure of the invention is applied to a display device having the backlight source, though the invention is not limited thereto. Referring toFIG. 1 toFIG. 3 , thedisplay device 100 of the first embodiment includes acover 110, aframe 120 and a panel module, where the panel module includes aglass module 130 and abacklight module 140.

Afirst side 122 a of the first supportingportion 122 is snapped to thesidewall 114 of thecover 110, and the second supportingportion 124 is connected to asecond side 122 b of the first supportingportion 122, and is leaned against or not leaned against thebase plate 112 of thecover 110 according to a design requirement of the product. Theglass module 130 is adhered to the first supportingportion 122 along a direction, and thebacklight module 140 is disposed between theglass module 130 and thebase plate 112, and is adhered to the second supportingportion 124 along the same direction, where the adhering direction of theglass module 130 and thebacklight module 140 and theframe 120 is a normal line direction of adisplay region 132 of the display module. According to a design requirement of the product, the first supportingportion 122 is located on the frame at a position outer than that of the second supportingportion 124, so that the light of the light source can be totally transmitted to theglass module 130 through thebacklight module 140. Theframe 120 has an opening in the middle, and the light produced by thebacklight module 140 can be fluently transmitted to theglass module 130 through the opening, so as to increase a brightness of thedisplay region 132. When the panel module is adhered to theframe 120, theframe 120 surrounds the periphery of the panel module and the panel module covers the opening to increase the brightness of thedisplay region 132. Moreover, according to a different product design, theframe 120 may further include astop portion 126 to prevent theglass module 130 from departing the first supportingportion 122, so as to further protect theglass module 130. When theframe 120 does not have thestop portion 126, thedisplay device 100 of the embodiment further includes atrim strip 190, and thetrim strip 190 surrounds periphery of theglass module 130, and is engaged to theframe 120 or thecover 110 to protect a glass plate of theglass module 130 from cracking due to impact.

A distance between the first supportingsurface 122 c and thebase plate 112 is greater than a distance between the second supportingsurface 124 a and thebase plate 112. An orthogonal projection of aperipheral part 134 of theglass module 130 on thebase plate 112 is not overlapped to an orthogonal projection of thebacklight module 140 on thebase plate 112. In this way, theglass module 130 and thebacklight module 140 stacked to each other are respectively adhered to the first supportingsurface 122 c and the second supportingsurface 124 a, where theglass module 130 is adhered to the first supportingsurface 122 c through itsperipheral part 134, and the adhesive used for adhering the panel module and theframe 120 includes an epoxy resin. - Moreover, the
