Description

  The present invention relates to a display panel applied to, for example, a road sign, a store signboard, and various information panels, and more particularly to a display panel constituted by a hollow extruded shape member.

A general road sign display panel is a flat reinforcing plate that is fixed to a flat aluminum plate by spot welding. However, since a welding process was required, no one could easily be involved. . In addition, a method was adopted in which a plurality of aluminum profiles were framed and bolted at each joint location, and then assembled to some extent at the factory, etc., to the site, but the display panel was assembled with metal profiles. Therefore, there is a problem that the labor is increased due to the increased weight. Therefore, while the display panel was divided into a plurality of panel components and each panel component was formed to be engageable, it became easier to assemble in the field, but each panel component was engaged. However, the current situation is that the problems have not been solved.
