For example, the first short side SS1 of the short side SS of the front substrate 101 is shorter than the first short side SS1 of the rear substrate 111 corresponding to the first short side SS1 of the front substrate 101 And the second short side SS2 of the short side of the front substrate 101 is extended by the first short side S1 of the rear substrate 111 corresponding to the second short side SS2 of the front substrate 101 SS2 by a second length S2.

Here, the first length S1 and the second length S2 may be substantially the same.

Alternatively, the first length S1 and the second length S2 may be different from each other. In this case, it is possible to make the structures of the first short side SS1 and the second short side SS2 of the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100 different from each other.

The first short side SS1 of the rear substrate 111 is connected to the first short side SS1 of the rear substrate 111 corresponding to the first short side SS1 of the front substrate 101, It is possible to provide a sufficiently large space. In such a case, the first length S1 may be smaller than the second length S2.

The first long side LS1 of the long side LS of the front substrate 101 is connected to the first long side LS1 of the rear substrate 111 corresponding to the first long side LS1 of the front substrate 101, And the second long side LS2 of the long side LS of the front substrate 101 is extended to the second long side LS2 of the rear substrate 111 corresponding to the second long side LS2 of the front substrate 101 (S20) than the second length LS2.

Here, the twentieth length S20 and the tenth length S10 may be different from each other.

In addition, the thickness of the front substrate 101 may be thicker than the thickness of the rear substrate 111.

In this case, by sufficiently strengthening the strength of the front substrate 101, even if the front edge of the front substrate 101 is exposed or the side edge of the front substrate 101 is exposed, It is possible to prevent the substrate 101 from being damaged.

Hereinafter, another method of disposing the bracket 140 and the optical layer 110 will be described. Hereinafter, the description of the parts described in detail above will be omitted. For example, in the following description, the auxiliary bracket is omitted. However, the auxiliary bracket connected to the bracket 140 may also be applied to the following description.

Referring to FIG. 29, the optical layer 110 is not fixed to the bracket 140 but may be placed on one side of the bracket 140. In this case, the optical layer 110 may be movable at the upper portion of the bracket 140. [

Here, although the shape of the bracket 140 is different from the case described above, the shape of the bracket 140 of FIG. 29 is not limited to the shape of FIG. 29.

In this structure, since the optical layer 110 is simply placed on the bracket 140, the manufacturing process can be simplified. If the optical layer 110 is designed to have a size corresponding to the size of the bracket 140, even if the optical layer 110 is simply placed on the bracket 140, the optical layer 110 Can be limited.

When the optical layer 110 is disposed on the bracket 140 as described above, the optical layer 110 and the rear substrate 111 of the display panel 100 may be separated from each other by a predetermined distance Z1, An air gap 6500 may be formed between the rear substrate 111 and the optical layer 110 as in the case of FIG.

In this way, when an air gap 6500 is formed between the rear substrate 111 and the optical layer 110, the optical characteristics of the display device can be improved by the air layer 6500.

31, a fixing portion 6600 may be disposed on one surface of the bracket 140, and the optical layer 110 may be disposed on the fixing portion 6600. The fixing portion 6600 may have a shape protruding in a direction away from the display panel 100.

As described above, when the optical layer 110 is disposed on the fixing portion 6600, since the size of the contact surface between the optical layer 110 and the fixing portion 6600 is relatively small, damage to the optical layer 110 is suppressed It is possible.

It is also possible that the fixing portion 6600 which contacts the optical layer 110 to prevent the optical layer 110 from moving and sufficiently prevent damage to the optical layer 110 has a property that is more rigid than the bracket 140 . For example, the fixing portion 6600 may include a polyurethane material.

And the light guide plate 7000 can be disposed behind the optical layer 110. [ In this case, the backlight unit 120 may correspond to an edge type rather than a direct type.

The maximum height Z2 of the optical layer 110 measured from the back surface of the rear substrate 111 may be smaller than the height Z3 of the bracket 140 in order to prevent the optical layer 110 from being separated.

The maximum height Z4 of the light guide plate 7000 measured from the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 to prevent the light guide plate 7000 from deviating even when the light guide plate 7000 is disposed behind the optical layer 110 May be smaller than the height (Z3) of the bracket (140).

The display device according to the present invention may include an edge type backlight unit 7010, or may include a direct type backlight unit. In the present invention, both edge type and direct type can be possible without special mention.

Referring to FIG. 32, the rear cover 130 may be disposed behind the frame 1600.

In addition, the rear cover 10 may be fixed to the bracket 140. 32, the rear cover 130 may be fastened and fixed to the projecting portion 145 of the bracket 140 by a predetermined fastening means (not shown). The frame 1600 may be connected to one side of the protrusion 145 of the bracket 140 and the rear cover 130 may be connected to the other side of the protrusion 145. [ In this case, a part of the frame 1600 and a part of the rear cover 130 can face each other with the bracket 140 therebetween.

33, a driving board 7210 for supplying a driving signal to the display panel 100 may be disposed between the frame 1600 and the rear cover 130. In addition,

In addition, an air layer 7200 may be formed between the frame 1600 and the rear cover 130. The air layer 7200 may be formed by providing a space for disposing the driving board 7210 between the frame 1600 and the rear cover 130.

The air layer 6500 formed between the optical layer 110 and the rear substrate 111 is referred to as a first air gap and the air gap 6500 formed between the frame 1600 and the rear cover 130 The thickness Z5 of the second air layer 7200 may be greater than the thickness Z1 of the first air layer 6500 when the air layer 7200 is referred to as a second air gap.

Even in this case, the auxiliary bracket can be connected to the bracket 140. [ It is also possible that the rear cover 130 is fixed to the auxiliary bracket. Since the auxiliary brackets have been described in detail in the foregoing, further explanation is omitted.

Alternatively, as in the case of Fig. 34, the rear cover 130 may extend to the side of the display panel 100. [ That is, the rear cover 130 may include a portion 132 located on a side surface of the display panel 100.

Meanwhile, in the display device according to the present invention, it is also possible that the backlight unit 120 can be applied to a direct-type backlight unit, or an edge-type backlight unit can be applied.

Here, the edge type backlight unit can be classified into a bottom edge type backlight unit and a side edge type backlight unit.

35, the lower edge-type backlight unit 7010 is disposed on the long side (LS side) of the display panel 100 and can emit light to a light guide plate (not shown). For example, on the second long side LS2 side located below the first long side LS1 and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100, (7010) may be disposed.

The side edge type backlight unit 7010 is disposed on the short side (SS) side of the display panel 100 as in the case of Fig. 36, and can emit light to a light guide plate (not shown). For example, the first side-edge-type backlight unit 7010A is disposed on the first short side SS1 of the display panel 100, the second side side SS2 is disposed on the second short side SS2, An edge-type backlight unit 7010B can be disposed.

The edge-type backlight unit described below may be applicable to both the side-edge-type backlight unit and the bottom-edge-type backlight unit described above.

37, the bracket 140 includes a protrusion 145 protruding in a direction D30 away from the display panel 100, and the frame 1600 is connected to the protrusion 145 It is possible. A light guide plate 7000 may be disposed between the frame 1600 and the optical layer 110 and an edge backlight unit 7010 may be disposed on a side surface of the light guide plate 7000. Such an edge-type backlight unit 7010 may include a substrate 7011 and a light source 7012 such as an LED disposed on the substrate 7011.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 38, the light guide plate 7000 and the edge-type backlight unit 7010 may be spaced a predetermined distance U1. More specifically, the light source 7012 of the backlight unit 7010 and the light guide plate 7000 can be spaced a predetermined distance U1.

In this case, damage to the backlight unit 7010 by the light guide plate 7000 can be prevented, and when the air layer is moved before light generated in the backlight unit 7010 enters the light guide plate 7000, The optical characteristics can be improved.

It is also possible to arrange the auxiliary frame 8000 between the frame 1600 and the bracket 140. [ For example, the auxiliary frame 8000 can be connected to the bracket 140 by the predetermined fastening means 8010, and the frame 1600 can be disposed in the auxiliary frame 8000. [

In such a structure, an edge-type backlight unit 7010 including a substrate 7011 and a light source 7012 such as an LED disposed on the substrate 7011 may be disposed on the subframe 8000. [ In this case, the heat generated in the backlight unit 7010 of the edge type can be effectively radiated through the auxiliary frame 8000. Thus, it is possible to improve the stability of the backlight unit 7010 of the edge type.

Although not shown, a heat transfer layer may be formed between the sub frame 8000 and the frame 1600. [ This heat transfer layer may be an adhesive layer comprising metal particles.

Referring to FIG. 39, in the display device according to the present invention, the bracket 140 may be disposed in a dummy area (DA) outside the active area AA of the display panel 100. Accordingly, the bracket 140 and the display panel 100 may not overlap with each other in the width direction of the display panel 100. That is, the bracket 140 is separated from the end P10 of the effective area AA of the display panel 100 by a predetermined distance F2.

The bracket 140 is attached to the display panel 100 at a position spaced apart from the effective area AA by a predetermined distance F2 in order to prevent screen distortion.

If the user views the display panel in a diagonal direction on the side of the display panel, the image of the boundary portion between the effective area AA and the dummy area DA may be distorted. It is possible to prevent the screen distortion by attaching the bracket 140 to a position spaced a predetermined distance F2 from the effective area AA of the display device.

The interval F1 between the rear substrate 111 and the optical layer 110 is equal to the interval F2 from the end P10 of the active area AA of the display panel 100 to the bracket 140, . ≪ / RTI >

The boundary line BL between the effective area AA in which the image of the display panel 100 is displayed and the dummy area DA in which no image is displayed and the boundary line BL of the back panel of the display panel 100, The distance F2 from the end P10 of the effective area AA of the display panel 100 to the bracket 140 is smaller than the distance F2 between the rear substrate 111 and the bracket 140, May be smaller than or equal to the interval (F1) between the optical layers (110).

In this case, it is possible to prevent the size of the dummy area DA from being excessively increased.

In order to prevent screen distortion more effectively at the boundary between the effective area AA and the dummy area DA and to prevent the size of the dummy area DA from increasing excessively, The angle? 1 between the normal line TL and the boundary line BL can be set to approximately 15 to 30 when the normal line TL that contacts the bracket 140 is set from the end P10 of the boundary line BL .

Here, the dummy area DA and the effective area AA can be distinguished from each other by a seal part (not shown) disposed between the front substrate 101 and the rear substrate 111 of the display panel 100. For example, the outside of the seal can be divided into a dummy area DA and the inside of the seal can be divided into an effective area AA. In detail, it is possible to distinguish the effective area AA and the dummy area DA from the inner surface of the cross section of the seal part, that is, the surface in contact with the liquid crystal layer.

The method of distinguishing the dummy area DA from the effective area AA is not limited to this.

40, the light guide plate 7000 disposed on the optical layer 110 in the edge type backlight unit protrudes by a predetermined length F3 in the outward direction of the display panel 100 as compared with the optical layer 110 .

In such a case, the total length L30 of the light guide plate 7000 may be longer than the total length L310 of the optical layer 110, as in the case of Fig.

When the length L30 of the light guide plate 7000 is longer than the length L31 of the optical layer 110, distortion of the screen is prevented at the boundary portion between the dummy area DA and the effective area AA, 110 can be reduced, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

40, since the optical layer 110 is disposed under the light guide plate 7000, even when the length of the optical layer 110 is short, the light passes through the end P10 of the effective area AA of the display panel 100 It can be seen that the normal line TL contacting the bracket 140 passes both the optical layer 110 and the light guide plate 7000. [

Referring to FIG. 42, the width W3 of the bracket 140 may be larger than the width W4 of the adhesive layer 400. In this case, the groove 141 may be formed in the bracket 140 and the adhesive layer 400 may be formed in the groove 141.

42, from the end of the groove 141 to the end of the bracket 140 in the direction D34 toward the center of the display panel 100 with respect to the groove 141 in the cross section of the bracket 140 The first interval W5 may be smaller than the width W4 of the grooves 141. In other words,

The distance W6 from the end of the groove 141 to the end of the bracket 140 in the direction D35 away from the center of the display panel 100 with respect to the groove 141 in the cross section of the bracket 140 And the second gap W6 may be smaller than the width W4 of the groove 141. [

In this case, since the size of the groove 141 formed in the bracket 140 can be increased, the adhesion between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111 can be improved.

The sum W5 + W6 of the first gap W5 and the second gap W6 may be smaller than the width W4 of the groove 141. [ In this case, since the size of the groove 141 formed in the bracket 140 can be further increased, the adhesion between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111 can be further improved.

Also, the first interval W5 may be less than or equal to the second interval W6. In this case, it is possible to increase the distance between the bracket 140 and the end P10 of the effective area AA of the display panel 100 while maintaining the strength of the bracket 140, thereby further preventing screen distortion Do.

The width W4 of the adhesive layer 400 may be larger than the thickness W7 of the adhesive layer 400. [ In this case, the adhesion between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111 can be improved.

The adhesive layer 400 may be formed using a UV adhesive or a polyurethane adhesive.

A case of forming the adhesive layer 400 using a UV adhesive will be described below.

Referring to FIG. 43, one surface of the bracket 140 may have an oblique shape. For example, the side surface of the bracket 140 in the direction D34 toward the center of the display panel 100 of the cross section of the bracket 140 may have a slanting shape when viewed from the rear substrate 111 .

The distance F2 from the end P10 of the effective area AA of the display panel 100 to the bracket 140 is equal to the distance F2 between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111, And the adjacent region of the optical layer 111. [ That is, the distance F2 from the end P10 of the effective area AA of the display panel 100 to the bracket 140 can be reduced as the distance from the rear substrate 111 to the optical layer 110 increases.

In this case, screen distortion can be reduced by reducing the blocking of light by the bracket 140. 43, it can be seen that the normal line TL in the case of FIG. 39 does not contact the bracket 140 in the case of FIG.

In this case, it can be seen that the bracket 140 includes a portion where the height of the cross section gradually decreases toward the center direction D 34 of the display panel 110. In Fig. 43, the height of the cross section of the bracket 140 can be confirmed as a portion reduced from T11 to T10.

Referring to FIG. 44, the adhesive layer 400 may overlap the optical layer 110 in the width direction of the display panel 100. The reason why the adhesive layer 400 can overlap with the optical layer 110 is that the bracket 140 is formed in a sloped shape so that the bracket 140 can be moved closer to the center of the display panel 100 It is because.

44, when a portion of the bracket 140 overlapping with the optical layer 110 in the width direction of the display panel 100 is referred to as a first portion F5, the first portion F5 is disposed between the display panel 100 And a second portion F6 in which the height T _B gradually decreases toward the center direction D34 of the center portion D2.

Here, the second portion F6 can overlap the portion F7 of the adhesive layer 400 in the width direction of the display panel 100. [

The width of the second portion F6 is set to be greater than the width of the bracket 140 from the end P10 of the effective area of the display panel 100 in order to prevent excessive increase in the size of the dummy area DA while reducing screen distortion. May be smaller than the shortest interval (F2).

45, the second portion F6 of the bracket 140 does not overlap the adhesive layer 400 in the width direction of the display panel 100, but is spaced apart from the adhesive layer 400 by a predetermined distance F8 .

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 46, one side of the bracket 140 may have a step shape instead of a slant shape.

Meanwhile, the side cover 4400 may include a portion located between the rear substrate 111 and the bracket 140.

47A, the side cover 4400 is connected to the rear cover 130, and a part of the side cover 4400 can be positioned between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111 .

In this case, it can be seen that the side cover 4400 is connected to the bracket 140 attached to the rear substrate 111 by the adhesive layer 400, as in the case of FIG. 47 (B).

In other words, the side cover 4400 may be connected to the back cover 130 and may include a portion that contacts the bracket 140 and / or the rear substrate 111.

In this case, the side cover 4400 is not fastened to the bracket 140 but can be seen to be simply fitted in the space provided between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111.

Accordingly, the force applied to the rear cover 130 can be prevented from being transmitted to the bracket 140 through the side cover 4400, thereby suppressing light leakage.

48, when a portion of the side cover 4400 located between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111 is referred to as a first portion 4401, the first portion 4401 and the bracket 140 A gasket 4500 may be disposed between the first portion and the rear substrate 111. [

In this case, it is possible to improve the structural reliability by preventing the first portion 4401 of the side cover 4400 from colliding with the bracket 140 or the rear substrate 111.

Here, it is also possible to replace the gasket 4500 with an elastic portion having elasticity. Alternatively, it is also possible to use an adhesive material having adhesiveness in place of the gasket 4500.

49, the side cover 4400 includes a portion 4401 positioned between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111, and also includes a portion 4401 located on the side surface of the rear substrate 111 4402).

The width T20 of the portion 4401 positioned between the bracket 140 of the side cover 4400 and the rear substrate 111 in the width direction DRV of the rear substrate 111 is smaller than the width T20 of the rear substrate 111, The width T21 of the portion 4402 located on the side of the substrate 4402. [

The length of a portion where the side cover 4400 and the bracket 140 overlap with each other in the width direction DRV of the rear substrate 111 is a length of a portion where the side cover 4400 overlaps with the rear substrate 111 Length may be different.

50, the length X1 of the overlap portion of the side cover 4400 and the bracket 140 in the width direction DRV of the rear substrate 111 is equal to the length X1 of the side cover 4400 And the length of the overlapping portion of the rear substrate 111 and the rear substrate 111 may be smaller than the length X2.

In this case, the rear substrate 111 may be extended by a predetermined length X3 in the outward direction DRH of the display panel 100 than the bracket 140.

In addition, the rear substrate 111 may extend further toward the outer side of the display panel 100 than the side cover 4400. In this case, when viewed from the front of the display panel 100, the side cover 4400 can be covered by the display panel 100. In this case, the front end and the side surface of the front substrate 101 may be exposed.

51, the rear cover 130 and the bracket 140 are disposed between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111. In the case where the side cover 4400 includes a portion located between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111, It is possible to arrange a frame (Frame 1600).

In this case, the frame 1600 may be connected to the bracket 140, and the rear cover 130 may be connected to the side cover 4400.

It is also possible to connect the frame 1600 and the bracket 140 without using a fastening means such as a screw.

52, a protrusion 145 protruding in a direction away from the display panel 100 is formed on the bracket 140, and the frame 1600 can be connected to the protrusion 145. In this case,

The frame 1600 includes a body portion 9200 and a connection portion 9210 disposed at the ends of the body portion 9200 and parallel to the protrusion 145 of the bracket 140, . ≪ / RTI >

The connection portion 9210 of the frame 1600 and the protrusion 145 of the bracket 140 may be in contact with each other.

A first ring 9600 protruding toward the protrusion 145 of the bracket 140 is formed in the connection portion 9210 of the frame 1600 and a connection portion 9210 is formed in the protrusion 145 of the bracket 140 It is possible to form the second ring portion 9610 which protrudes toward the second ring portion 9610. The first annular portion 9600 can be formed by sheet metal working a part of the frame 1600 and the second annular portion 9610 can be formed by sheet metal working a part of the projecting portion 145 of the bracket 140 .

In this case, if the first ring portion 9600 and the second ring portion 9610 are arranged to be engaged with each other, the frame 1600 and the bracket 140 can be connected as in the case of FIG. In this case, since the frame 1600 is not fixed to the bracket 140, it is possible to reduce the light leakage phenomenon even if the frame 1600 is twisted.

54 to 87 are views for explaining another configuration of the display apparatus according to the present invention in detail. Hereinafter, the description of the parts described in detail above will be omitted.

In the display device according to the present invention, the bracket 140 may be divided into a plurality of parts. For example, as in the case of FIG. 54, the bracket 140 can include the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2.

Here, the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 are attached to the long side LS1 and LS2 side of the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 of the display panel 100, and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 are attached to the display panel SS2 side of the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 of the first and second substrates 100 and 100, respectively.

In addition, the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 may be spaced apart by a predetermined distance d10. The lateral brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 may be spaced from each other at a corner of the rear surface of the rear substrate 111. [

In this case, the process of attaching the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 to the rear substrate 111 can be facilitated, and the unit cost of the bracket 140 can be reduced, .

In addition, the optical layer 110 may correspond to at least one of the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2. 55, the optical layer 110 is overlapped on the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 among the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2, 140B1, and 140B2. In other words, the optical layer 110 can overlap or contact the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2, and can be spaced apart from the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 by a predetermined distance.

In this case, the width A10 of the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 may be different from the width A20 of the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2. Preferably, the width A10 of the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 to which the optical layer 110 is fixed may be larger than the width A20 of the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2, as in the case of Fig. The vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 do not need to be fixed because the optical layer 110 is not fixed.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 57, the optical layer 110 may be fixed to the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2, respectively. Even in this case, the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 having a length longer than the length of the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 can provide a main supporting force for the optical layer 110. [ The width A10 of the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 can be larger than the width A20 of the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2.

58, the rear cover 130 and the bracket 140 can be engaged with each other. To this end, a portion of the back cover 130 may simply fit into the bracket 140. [ For example, a groove 3700 may be formed in the bracket 140, and a protrusion 3710 may be formed in the rear cover 130 to correspond to the groove 3700, as in the case of FIG. 58 (B) . Here, the groove 3700 formed in the bracket 140 may be referred to as a rail. Hereinafter, the groove 3700 formed by sinking the bracket 140 toward the center of the display panel 100 may be referred to as an outer rail.

Here, the projection 3710 formed on the rear cover 130 can be fitted to the outer rail 3700 formed on the bracket 140. In this case, the rear cover 130 includes a portion which is in contact with and connected to the bracket 140, but may not be fastened. In other words, the rear cover 130 is connected to the bracket 140 but may not be fixed.

In the third area SS1 of the display panel 100, a plurality of first vertical brackets 140B1 are arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, for example, in a direction parallel to the short side SS of the display panel 100 And in the fourth area SS2 of the display panel 100, a plurality of second vertical brackets 140B2 may be arranged in parallel in the second direction.

When the bracket 140 is divided into a plurality of sub brackets, the amount of deformation of the rear cover 130 may be dispersed by the sub brackets when the rear cover 130 is twisted. Accordingly, it is possible to further reduce the light leakage phenomenon.

78A, the first area of the display panel 100, for example, the first area of the rear substrate 111, that is, the horizontal bracket 140A1 disposed on the first long side LS1, And a first vertical bracket 140B1 disposed on a third area of the display panel 100, for example, the third area of the rear substrate 111, that is, the first short side SS1, is divided into four horizontal brackets And a second vertical bracket 140B2 disposed on a fourth area of the display panel 100, for example, the fourth area of the rear substrate 111, that is, the second short side SS2, is divided into three vertical brackets Assume that a total of three vertical brackets (④⑤⑥) are used.

Here, the interval between two adjacent horizontal brackets 104A1 may be different from the interval between two adjacent vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2. Preferably, the distance between two adjacent horizontal brackets 104A1 may be less than the distance between two adjacent vertical brackets 140B1, 140B2. For example, the interval V1 between the first horizontal bracket 7 and the second horizontal bracket 8 of the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 is equal to the distance V1 between the first vertical bracket 140B1 and the first vertical bracket 140B1, Between the 2-1 vertical bracket (1) and the 2-2 vertical bracket (2) among the plurality of second vertical brackets 140B2, and the interval (V11) between the first vertical bracket (4) May be smaller than the interval (V10).

The reason why the interval between two adjacent horizontal brackets 104A1 is smaller than the interval between two adjacent vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 is as follows.

The lengths of the first long side LS1 and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100 are longer than the lengths of the first short side SS1 and the second short side SS2, The first and second long sides (LS1, LS2)

Considering this, it may be preferable to arrange the horizontal brackets 140A1 disposed on the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100, which are relatively large in pressure, more closely than the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 .

The total number of the horizontal brackets (⑦8⑩9⑩1111213) arranged on the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100 corresponds to the total number of the first vertical brackets (①②③) disposed on the first short side SS1 of the display panel 100 And the total number of second longitudinal brackets (④⑤⑥) arranged on the second short side (SS2) of the display panel (100).

On the other hand, the interval between the adjacent two brackets 140 can be larger than the width of the predetermined bracket 140.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 78 (B), the interval V1 between the first horizontal bracket () and the second horizontal bracket () among the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 is equal to (V30) of the first horizontal bracket (7) and the width (V31) of the second horizontal bracket (8).

The rear cover 130 can be inserted into the bracket 140 in a sliding manner even when the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 of the bracket 140 are divided into a plurality of pieces.

That is, the rear cover 130 can be connected to the bracket 140 by a sliding method.

In this case, at least one bracket 140 can be engaged with the rear cover 130. For example, at least one first vertical bracket 140B1 and at least one second vertical bracket 140B2 can be engaged with the rear cover 130. [

The optical layer 110 can be inserted into the bracket 140 in a sliding manner when the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 of the bracket 140 are divided into a plurality of pieces.

For example, when the optical layer 110 is fitted to the inner rail 3740 formed in the bracket 140 so that the optical layer 110 is connected to the bracket 140, as in the case of FIG. 80, It is possible to connect the optical layer 110 and the bracket 140 by sliding the optical fiber 110 into the inner rail 3740 formed on the bracket 140 in a sliding manner. That is, the optical layer 110 can be connected to the bracket 140 by a sliding method.

In the case where the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 are divided into a plurality of pieces and the optical layer 110 is fitted in the bracket 140 as described above, An air layer 9500 may be formed between the optical layer 110 and the rear substrate 111 in a region between the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 140.

The height V20 of the air layer 9500 may be smaller than the height of the bracket 140. [

In the case where the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 of the bracket 140 are divided into a plurality of pieces as shown in FIGS. 51 to 53, the bracket 140 and the frame 1600 Considering the case of the engagement, it can be seen that at least one of the plurality of brackets 140 is engaged with the frame 1600. For example, at least one of the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 is engaged with the frame 1600, or at least one of the plurality of first vertical brackets 140B1 is engaged with the frame 1600, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 140B2 < / RTI >

In order to further reduce the light leakage phenomenon, at least one of the plurality of brackets 140 may have a different shape from that of the other brackets 140.

[ In this case, the 2-1 vertical bracket (1) and the 1-1 vertical bracket (4) are arranged to be staggered from each other.

In other words, the interval between the 2-1 vertical bracket (1) and the first long side (LS1) of the display panel 100 is larger than the interval between the 1-1 long vertical bracket (4) and the first long side Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > LS1. ≪ / RTI >

The interval between the second and third vertical brackets 3 and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100 is set to be longer than the first long bracket 6 and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100, As shown in FIG.

In this case, the light leakage phenomenon can be further reduced.

In addition, the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 or the plurality of first and second vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 can be arranged in a zigzag fashion.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 86 (A), a plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1, 7,8, 9,11, and 12,13 placed on the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100 can be arranged in a zigzag form.

Also, the selected RF broadcast signal is converted into an intermediate frequency signal, a baseband image, or a voice signal.

The demodulator 120Q receives the digital IF signal DIF converted by the tuner 110Q and performs a demodulation operation.

The demodulator 120Q may demodulate and decode the channel, and then output the stream signal TS. At this time, the stream signal may be a signal in which a video signal, a voice signal, or a data signal is multiplexed. For example, the stream signal may be an MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) multiplexed with an MPEG-2 standard video signal, a Dolby AC-3 standard audio signal, or the like. Specifically, the MPEG-2 TS may include a header of 4 bytes and a payload of 184 bytes.

The stream signal output from the demodulation unit 120Q may be input to the control unit 170Q. The control unit 170Q performs demultiplexing, video / audio signal processing, and the like, and then outputs an image to the display unit 180Q and audio to the audio output unit 185Q.

The external device interface unit 135Q can connect the external device and the broadcast signal receiver 100Q. To this end, the external device interface unit 135Q may include an A / V input / output unit (not shown) or a wireless communication unit (not shown).

The storage unit 140Q may store a program for each signal processing and control in the control unit 170Q or may store a signal-processed video, audio, or data signal.

The storage unit 140Q may also function to temporarily store video, audio, or data signals input from the external device interface unit 135Q or the network interface unit 130Q. In addition, the storage unit 140Q can store information on a predetermined broadcast channel through the channel memory function.

The user input interface unit 150Q transmits a signal input by the user to the controller 170Q or a signal from the controller 170Q to the user.

For example, the user input interface unit 150Q may turn on / off the power from the remote control device 200Q, select a channel, select a channel from the remote control device 200Q according to various communication methods such as an RF (Radio Frequency) communication method, Or a control signal from the control unit 170Q to the remote control device 200Q.

In addition, the control unit 170Q can control overall operation in the broadcast signal receiver 100Q. For example, the controller 170Q may control the tuner 110Q to control the tuner 110Q to select an RF broadcast corresponding to a channel selected by the user or a previously stored channel.

In addition, the controller 170Q can control the broadcast signal receiver 100Q according to a user command or an internal program input through the user input interface unit 150Q. In particular, it is possible to connect to the network so that the user can download a desired application or application list into the broadcast signal receiver 100Q.

For example, the control unit 170Q controls the tuner 110Q so that a signal of a selected channel is input according to a predetermined channel selection command received through the user input interface unit 150Q. Then, video, audio, or data signals of the selected channel are processed. The control unit 170Q allows the display unit 180Q or the audio output unit 185Q to output the video or audio signal processed by the user through the channel information selected by the user.

Meanwhile, the control unit 170Q may control the display unit 180Q to display an image. For example, a broadcast image input through the tuner 110Q, an external input image input through the external device interface unit 135Q, an image input through the network interface unit, or an image stored in the storage unit 140Q , And display on the display unit 180Q.

Also, the remote control device 200Q can receive the video, audio, or data signal output from the user input interface unit 150Q and display it on the remote control device 200Q or output voice or vibration.

88, the broadcast signal receiver 100Q does not include the tuner 110Q and the demodulator 120Q but transmits the video signal through the network interface unit 130Q or the external device interface unit 135Q, The content may be received and played back.

89 is an internal block diagram of the control unit shown in FIG. 88;

89, the control unit 170Q includes a demultiplexing unit 310Q, an image processing unit 320Q, an OSD generating unit 340Q, a mixer 350Q, a frame rate converting unit 355Q, and a formatter 360Q. . A voice processing unit (not shown), and a data processing unit (not shown).

The demultiplexer 310Q demultiplexes the input stream. For example, when an MPEG-2 TS is input, it can be demultiplexed into video, audio, and data signals, respectively. The stream signal input to the demultiplexer 310Q may be a stream signal output from the tuner 110Q or the demodulator 120Q or the external device interface unit 135Q.

The image processor 320Q may perform image processing of the demultiplexed image signal. To this end, the image processing unit 320Q may include a video decoder 325Q and a scaler 335Q.

The video decoder 325Q decodes the demultiplexed video signal and the scaler 335Q performs scaling so that the resolution of the decoded video signal can be output from the display unit 180Q.

The video decoder 325Q can be equipped with decoders of various standards.

For example, if the demultiplexed video signal is an MPEG-2 standard encoded video signal, it can be decoded by an MPEG-2 decoder.

Also, for example, if the demultiplexed video signal is an encoded video signal of the H.264 standard according to the DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) scheme or DVB-H, it can be decoded by the H.264 decoder.

Meanwhile, the image signal decoded by the image processing unit 320Q is input to the mixer 350Q.

The OSD generating unit 340Q generates an OSD signal according to a user input or itself. For example, based on the control signal from the user input interface unit 150Q, it is possible to generate a signal for displaying various information in graphic or text on the screen of the display unit 180Q. The generated OSD signal may include various data such as a user interface screen of the broadcast signal receiver 100Q, various menu screens, a widget, and an icon.

The mixer 350Q may mix the OSD signal generated by the OSD generator 340Q and the decoded video signal processed by the image processor 220Q. The mixed signal is provided to the formatter 360Q. Since the decoded broadcast video signal or the external input signal and the OSD signal are mixed, the OSD can be overlaid on the broadcast image or the external input image. For example, the cursor generated by the OSD generating unit 340Q may be displayed on the display unit 180Q.

A frame rate converter (FRC) 355Q can convert a frame rate of an input image. For example, a frame rate of 60 Hz is converted to 120 Hz or 240 Hz. When converting the frame rate of 60 Hz to 120 Hz, it is possible to insert the same first frame between the first frame and the second frame, or insert the third frame predicted from the first frame and the second frame. When converting a frame rate of 60 Hz to 240 Hz, it is possible to insert three more identical frames or insert three predicted frames. On the other hand, it is also possible to maintain the input frame rate without performing another conversion.

The formatter 360Q receives the output signal of the frame rate conversion unit 355Q and changes the format of the signal so as to be suitable for the display unit 180Q and outputs it. For example, the R, G, and B data signals may be output as low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) signals or mini-LVDS signals.

Meanwhile, since the block diagram of the control unit 170Q shown in FIG. 89 is a block diagram for an embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to add other modules or omit some of the illustrated modules according to the needs of those skilled in the art.

1 to 87, the display unit 180Q of the broadcast signal receiver 100Q according to the present invention has a side or front edge of the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100, Can be exposed.

The side cover 4400 may be disposed on the side of the display panel 100, for example, the first long side LS1, the first short side SS1, and the second short side SS2.

In addition, a bottom cover 9100 may be disposed under the display panel 100, for example, at the second long side LS2.

A pedestal 9610 may be disposed under the lower cover 9100 and a pedestal 9610 may be connected to the display unit 180Q through a connection portion 9600.

Here, when the user looks at the display unit 180Q from the front, the lower cover 9100 may not be easily visible to the user's eyes. On the other hand, the user can easily recognize the side cover 4400 disposed on the side of the display panel 100. This is because the side cover 4400 is located on the side or upper side of the image but the side cover 4400 can be more easily perceived by the user because the bottom cover 9100 is located at the bottom of the image.

Therefore, in the present invention, the width of the lower cover 9100 may be greater than the width of the side cover 4400. [

In this case, the user input interface unit 150Q may be disposed on the lower cover 9100 having a relatively large width. That is, the user input interface unit 150Q may be disposed on the lower side of the display unit 180Q.

This will be described in more detail as follows.

The first horizontal bracket 140A1 is disposed on the first long side LS1 of the rear substrate 111 and the first horizontal auxiliary bracket 4800A1 is disposed corresponding to the first horizontal bracket 140A1, The second horizontal bracket 140A2 is disposed on the second long side LS2 of the first substrate 111 and the second horizontal auxiliary bracket 4800A2 is disposed on the second long side LS2 corresponding to the second horizontal bracket 140A2, A first longitudinal bracket 140B1 is disposed on the first short side SS1 and a first longitudinal auxiliary bracket 4800B1 is disposed on the first short side 140B1 in correspondence with the first longitudinal bracket 140B1. Assume that the second vertical bracket 140B2 is disposed in the second vertical bracket 140B2 and the second vertical support bracket 4800B2 is disposed in correspondence to the second vertical bracket 140B2.

Here, as shown in Figure 91 (A), a sectional view taken along a straight line CSL2 passing through the first long side LS1 and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100, A side cover 4400 is disposed at one end of the display device (corresponding to the first long side LS1), while a lower cover 9100 is provided at the other end of the display device (corresponding to the second long side LS2) As shown in FIG.

It can be seen that the second horizontal auxiliary bracket 4800A2 extends to the outer edge of the display panel 100 by X60 in the longitudinal direction DL of the display panel 100. [

In addition, the lower cover 9100 can cover a part of the front substrate 101. In this case, the lower cover 9100 may include a portion disposed on the front surface of the front substrate 101. The lower cover 9100 may be connected to the rear cover 130.

In addition, a bottom frame (9200) may be disposed under the second horizontal sub-bracket (4800A2). In addition, the driving board 9210 can be disposed between the second horizontal auxiliary bracket 4800A2 and the lower frame 9200. Here, the driving board 9210 can supply a driving signal to the display panel 100. Alternatively, the driving board 9210 can supply a driving signal to a backlight unit (not shown).

A frame 1600 having one side connected to the first horizontal auxiliary bracket 4800A1 and the other side connected to the second horizontal auxiliary bracket 4800A2 is disposed between the rear cover 130 and the display panel 100 .

In addition, a user input interface unit 150Q may be disposed on the lower cover 9100. [

In this way, when the user input interface unit 150Q is disposed on the lower cover 9100, the image displayed on the display panel 100 can be more prominent, and the user's commands can be easily input.

92, the lower frame 9200 may include a portion located between the lower cover 9100 and the auxiliary bracket 4800A2 to improve structural stability.

It is also possible that a frame supporter 9220 supporting the lower frame 9200 is formed on the lower cover 9100. [

The driving board 9210 may be electrically connected to the display panel 100 to supply a driving signal to the display panel 100. 92, a cable 9300 may be disposed between the drive board 9210 and the display panel 100 to electrically connect the drive board 9210 and the display panel 100. In this case, Do.

91, a through hole 9310 through which the cable 9300 passes can be formed in the second horizontal auxiliary bracket 4800A2.

In addition, a user input interface unit 150Q can be disposed on the rear surface of the lower cover 9100. [ For example, the user input interface unit 150Q may be located between the lower cover 9100 and the lower frame 9200. [

In this case, in order for the user command inputted by the user using the remote control device 200Q to pass through the lower cover 9100 and reach the user input interface unit 150Q, the lower cover 9100 transmits predetermined light It may be preferable to include a portion having light transmittance to transmit light.

In this case, a command input from the remote control device 200Q may be transmitted to the user input interface unit 150Q through the lower cover 9100. [

In this way, when the user input interface unit 150Q is disposed on the rear surface of the lower cover 9100, the user input interface unit 150Q may be hidden by the lower cover 9100 from the viewpoint of the user. In addition, since there is no need to provide a separate space for disposing the user input interface unit 150Q, the appearance can be made beautiful.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 93 (A), a section cut along the straight line CSL1 passing through the first short side SS1 and the second short side SS2 of the display panel 100, As in the case, the side cover 4400 can be disposed at both ends of the display device.

In addition, the side cover 4400 may include a portion gradually increasing in width toward the rear cover 130.

The maximum width X40 of the display device adjacent to the rear cover 130 may be greater than the maximum width X41 of the display device adjacent to the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100 .

Here, since the structure of the display device in Fig. 93 can be inferred sufficiently based on the above-described contents, further explanation will be omitted.

Alternatively, the user input interface unit 150Q may be disposed in the connection portion 9600 connecting the display portion 180Q and the pedestal 9610. [

For example, as in the case of FIGS. 94A and 94B, the user input interface unit 150Q may be disposed in the connection unit 9600. [ In this case, the user input interface unit 150Q may be located at a portion not covered by the display unit 180Q.

This case can be applied to the case where the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100 and the side surface of the front substrate 101 are exposed. When the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100 and the side surface of the front substrate 101 are exposed, a space for disposing the user input interface unit 150Q on the side surface of the display panel 100 It may be scarce. Accordingly, it is possible for the user input interface unit 150Q to be disposed in the connection unit 9600. [

In addition, the connection portion 9600 can be connected to the rear cover 130 disposed at the rear of the display panel 100.

Alternatively, it may be possible to form a command input for inputting a predetermined user command to the pedestal 9610. [

For example, as in the case of FIG. 95, it is possible to form a command input portion 9700 for inputting commands such as power on / off and channel change to the pedestal 9610 It is possible. Here, the function of the command input unit 9700 formed on the pedestal 9610 is not limited.

The command input unit 9700 may be configured as a touch sensor.

In addition, the touch sensor may be located inside the pedestal 9610.

96, the pedestal 9610 may include a pedestal housing 9710 and the touch sensor 9720 may be located on the back of the pedestal housing 9710. [

The touch sensor 9720 is capable of driving the broadcast signal receiver 100Q by recognizing the touch when a user touches a part of the pedestal housing 9710. [

The touch sensor 9720 may be a sensor for sensing a minute capacitance possessed by the body or a specific object. In this case, the touch sensor 9720 senses a touch of the body or an object whose capacitance exceeds the capacitance .

For example, when the user touches the area of the pedestal housing 9710 where the touch sensor 9720 is disposed, as in the case of FIG. 96A, the touch sensor 9720 is generated when the user touches The touch of the user can be detected by detecting the change of the minute capacitance. Accordingly, the broadcast signal receiver 100Q can perform a predetermined operation.

On the other hand, if the user touches an area of the pedestal housing 9710 where the touch sensor 9720 is not disposed, the touch sensor may not operate.

If the touch sensor 9720 is disposed at a predetermined portion of the pedestal housing 9710, a part of the pedestal housing 9710 can be used as a switch or the like.

In addition, the touch sensor 9720 may be in direct contact with the pedestal housing 9710, or a nonconductive buffer (not shown) may be further disposed between the pedestal housing 9710 and the touch sensor 9720 It is possible.

As described above, it is to be understood that the technical structure of the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the present invention.

It should be understood, therefore, that the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, And all changes or modifications derived from equivalents thereof should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
