Description

Touch monitor with sterilizer {touch monitor with sterilizer}

The present invention relates to a touch monitor including a sterilizer, and more particularly, to a touch monitor including a sterilizer implemented to sterilize bacteria attached to a display surface.

In general, a display panel used in a TV or computer monitor has a thin bar-shaped border frame around the panel to protect or fix the panel itself. This border frame is usually in close contact with the side and back of the display panel. It is made of aluminum material having a cross-sectional structure and is bent to form a square shape according to the size of the panel.

In the manufacturing process of such a display device frame, after going through a bending process to correspond to the left and right widths or top and bottom widths to fit the panel, an inspection is performed to see if the dimensions of the bent frame are accurate. Conventionally, a large vernier caliper, etc. As the dimensions of the left and right widths and top and bottom widths of the frame are measured manually by using the frame, not only the measurement work is cumbersome, but also the measurement is performed with the measuring tool in contact with the frame during the measurement process, so that the frame is not pressed or finely deformed. This makes it difficult to measure the exact dimensions.

On the other hand, some have developed a device that can measure dimensions without direct contact with the object to be measured, focusing on the above-mentioned problems, but this is achieved by a device that can linearly move a slider equipped with a laser sensor on a guide rail. The length of the frame is measured, and the conventional non-contact measuring device is not only complicated in overall configuration of the device as described above, but also has the disadvantage of being inappropriate as a device for simultaneously measuring the left and right widths and the top and bottom widths, such as the frame for a display device described above. will be.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned background art is technical information that the inventor possessed for derivation of the present invention or acquired in the process of derivation of the present invention, and cannot necessarily be said to be known art disclosed to the general public prior to filing the present invention. .
