FIG. 4 is a view of the inside of the housing 1 taken along the line AA, and the PDP panel 4 is fixed to the metal reinforcing plate 22 with screws 23 on the back surface thereof through a plurality of spacers 21. There is. On the other hand, the front cover 2
A plurality of bosses 24 are erected on the inner surface of the front edge of the boss 24.
A support plate 25 for supporting the is fixed by screws 26.

[0003]

By the way, the above-mentioned display device not only requires a large amount of screws for assembly, but also has to be screwed from the four sides and the back surface, which results in poor workability. There is. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a display device that reduces the amount of screws used and can be easily assembled.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a display panel is provided on the side of the opening in a housing including a front cover having an opening in the front and a rear cover. When fixing the
A plurality of projecting pieces having insertion holes A are provided on the peripheral edge of the metal plate constituting the display panel, and a plurality of bosses A for supporting the projecting pieces are provided on the inner surface of the front edge of the front cover. A frame body provided with a plurality of insertion holes B corresponding to the insertion holes A and a plurality of bosses B facing the rear cover is superposed on the protruding piece supported by the screw, and the rear cover is fixed to the boss. I decided to screw it to B.

[0005]

With the above construction, the plurality of bosses A provided on the inner surface of the front edge of the front cover are provided with the projecting piece extending from the metal plate constituting the display panel and the frame body separately formed. Boss B provided on the frame by stacking and screwing
The display device can be completed by screwing the rear cover to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a display device. The housing 1 has a front opening, a front cover 2 made of resin such as ABS, and a rear cover 3 made of metal. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a display panel (PDP panel) 4 provided in the housing 1 is provided with a filter 5 made of acrylic or the like provided on the front surface, a glass plate 6 in which a predetermined gas is sealed, and A metal plate (aluminum plate) 7 provided behind the glass plate 6,
A plurality of printed boards 9 provided behind the metal plate 7 via a plurality of spacers 8 and a plurality of screws 10 for attaching the printed boards 9 are provided. A plurality of insertion holes A11 are provided at the peripheral edge of the metal plate 7. A protruding piece 12 is provided.

On the other hand, a plurality of bosses A for supporting the projecting pieces 12 on the PDP panel 4 side are provided on the inner surface of the front edge of the front cover 2.
13 are provided. Reference numeral 14 denotes a frame body that surrounds the PDP panel 4 and is formed so as to overlap the protruding piece 12. The frame body 14 has an insertion hole A11 formed in the protruding piece 12 and a boss A13 on the front panel 2 side. The through holes B15 and the bosses B16 for attaching the rear cover 3 are alternately provided. When assembling, PD
Insert the filter 5 of the P panel 4 into the opening 1 of the front cover 2.
While aligning the boss A13 with the projecting piece 12 while lowering it toward 7, then aligning the through hole A11 of the projecting piece 12 with the through hole B15 on the frame body 14 side, and inserting the screw 18 into the boss A1.
Fix to 3. In this way, when the screwing of the eight peripheral portions is completed, the front cover 2 is covered with the rear cover 3, and the rear cover 3 is provided on the boss B provided on the frame body 4.
It is fixed to 16 using the screw 19, and the assembly is completed. Although not shown, a shock absorbing member formed in a ring shape, for example, may be interposed between the boss A13 and the protruding piece 12 to reduce the impact on the PDP panel 4 during transportation. .

[0008]

With the display device having the above-described component structure, the PDP panel and the rear cover can be attached from one side, so that the workability is improved, and the number of parts required for assembly is reduced, resulting in cost reduction. Will also be advantageous.
