Description

[0001] EMITTING FRAME [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a frame for displaying a sheet-like display such as a picture, a letter, a photograph and the like, and more particularly to a frame having various patterns printed or engraved and a fixing frame for fixing the front frame and the rear supporting plate And an LED (Light Emitting Diode) array module is disposed in the fixed frame to illuminate the display and various patterns printed or sculpted on the front frame so as to improve not only visibility and aesthetics of the display, but also luminous It is about frame.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Generally, a frame is widely used as a tool for hanging or displaying a sheet-like display such as a picture, a letter, a photograph (portrait, landscape, etc.) on a desk or a wall, It consists of a pedestal.

In addition to facilitating the display of the exhibit, the frame serves as a basic function of preventing damage to the inside of the exhibit, and is formed in various shapes or colors to correspond to the surrounding structures for a beautiful harmony with the surrounding structures, Various patterns are printed or sculptured on the frame to make the structure more improved.

However, in the existing frame, there is a disadvantage in that the display can not be identified in the nighttime or in the dark space where the external light is lacked because no separate illumination device is provided. In order to solve such a problem, frame plates provided with a lighting device have been proposed so as to easily identify exhibits inserted in the frame even in nighttime or in a dark space where there is no external light.

Most incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps were mainly used as the illumination devices provided in the initial frame, and incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps were manufactured in a comparatively large size. Therefore, they were limitedly used for displaying large-sized exhibits such as museums and art galleries, It has been difficult to apply the present invention to a frame for displaying a small display in a home.

In recent years, studies have been actively made on application of LED (Light Emitting Diode), which provides a high efficiency with low power and a significantly improved lifetime compared to conventional lighting apparatus, as a semiconductor element, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2003-0086634 (Publication Date: Nov. 12, 2003), Korea Patent No. 10-0777709 (Registered on November 13, 2007), Korean Patent No. 10-1186757 21), Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1287025 (Registered on Mar. 07, 2013).

The above-mentioned prior arts have a problem that the power consumption is lower than that of conventional incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps by using LEDs, and the lifetime is improved. In addition, since the heat generation is relatively low, I was able to minimize it.

However, since the above-mentioned prior arts are constructed so as to brightly illuminate an exhibit in a frame compared to a frame, the exhibit is relatively bright compared to the frame, so that the exhibit and the frame are not harmoniously combined. As a result, the framing may hinder the aesthetics of the exhibit, and the aesthetic sense of the exhibit is reduced by half.

In addition, in the above-mentioned prior arts, since unnecessary power consumption occurs due to providing light of the same brightness at all times regardless of the surrounding brightness, and the surrounding brightness and the brightness of the display are not harmoniously combined, I could not help it.

In addition, since the operation of the LED is controlled only by the manual operation of the user, the user must manually operate the switch installed on the rear surface of the frame in order to turn on or off the LED installed in the frame. There was an inconvenience.
