In the horizontal direction (the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2), the first portion 121 and the third portion 123 may be separated by a predetermined distance. Accordingly, a first opening OP1 may be provided between the first portion 121 and the third portion 123.

In addition, an end part of the rear cover 110 may be inserted into a space between the first part 121 and the third part 123, that is, into the first opening OP1.

In this way, when the end portion of the rear cover 110 is inserted into the first opening OP1, the rear cover 110 can be connected to the side cover 120 without using a fastening means such as a screw. Accordingly, the assembly process of the rear cover 110 and the side cover 120 can be facilitated, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by not using fastening means such as screws.

In the horizontal direction (the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2), the side cover 120 may protrude from the rear cover 110 by a predetermined distance W1.

In addition, the length W3 of the second portion 122 measured in the vertical direction (the third direction DR3) is the second portion measured in the horizontal direction (the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2). It may be desirable to be longer than the length of 122 (W4+W5).

In order to sufficiently secure the first opening OP1, the length W2 of the first portion 121 in the vertical direction (the third direction DR3) is longer than the length W3 of the second portion 122. It may be desirable. In addition, the length W6 of the third portion 123 in the horizontal direction (the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2) may be smaller than the length W4+W5 of the second portion 122 .

In addition, the end portion EP of the rear cover 110 may extend in a vertical direction (the third direction DR3) from the end of the extension portion EXP.

In this case, when the side cover 120 and the rear cover 110 are connected, the third part 123 of the side cover 120 may be caught on the extension part EXP of the rear cover 110. Accordingly, the bonding process of the side cover 120 and the rear cover 110 may be further facilitated.

Referring to FIG. 8, the vertical portion VP of the rear cover 110 is a predetermined distance in the horizontal direction (the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2) than the third portion 123 of the side cover 120. It can protrude as much as (W7). In this case, since the rear cover 110 can protect the side cover 120, structural stability can be improved.

As in the case of FIG. 9, the rear cover 110 is provided between the first portion 121 and the third portion 123 of the side cover 120 in a vertical direction (the third direction DR3). 1 It may be connected to the side cover 120 by being inserted into the opening OP1.

Referring to FIG. 10, a supporter 200 may be disposed behind the display panel 100. This supporter 200 may be used as a structure to which the side cover 120 is connected.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 10A, the supporter 200 includes a first short side (SS1) area of the display panel 100 and a second short side opposite to the first short side (SS1). It may be disposed in the (Second Short Side, SS2) area, respectively.

Looking at the cross section cut along the line A1-A2 in FIG. 10A, as in the case of FIG. 10B, the supporter 200 is attached to the rear surface of the display panel 100 by an adhesive layer 300 I can see that it is.

The display panel 100 includes a black layer BK positioned between the front substrate 101 and the rear substrate 111, and the supporter 200 has a black layer in a vertical direction (the third direction DR3). BK) can be overlapped.

The adhesive layer 300 having this configuration has elasticity and elasticity as well as adhesiveness. Accordingly, the external force applied to the supporter 200 may be blocked by the adhesive layer 300 and may be blocked from being transmitted to the display panel 100.

The adhesive layer 300 having this configuration may be referred to as a foam pad.

In this way, when the supporter 200 is attached to the rear surface of the display panel 100 by the foam pad type adhesive layer 300, the adhesive layer 300 is a film attached to the rear surface of the display panel 100, for example It is possible to partially overlap the rear polarizing film 107 in a vertical direction (the third direction DR3).

Referring to FIG. 14, the supporter 200 may include a second hook HK2 corresponding to the first hook HK1 of the side cover 120.

On the metal plate 600, a position where the first folding line FL1 and the second folding line FL2 are formed is the third folding line FL3, the fourth folding line FL4, and the fifth folding line FL5. It may be different from where it is formed

For example, a first folding line FL1 and a second folding line FL2 are formed on the first surface FS of the metal plate 600, and the first folding line FL2 is formed on the first surface FS of the metal plate 600. A third folding line FL3, a fourth folding line FL4, and a fifth folding line FL5 may be formed on the opposed second surface SS.
