4 to 36 are views for explaining the configuration of the display device according to the present invention in detail. Hereinafter, the description of the parts described in detail above will be omitted.

First, referring to FIG. 4, an adhesive layer 400 may be formed between the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 of the display panel 100 and the bracket 140. The bracket 140 may be attached to the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 of the display panel 100 by the adhesive layer 400.

Here, the shape of the bracket 140 is schematically illustrated, and the shape of the bracket 140 may be variously changed. The shape and structure of the bracket 140 will be described in more detail below.

As such, when the bracket 140 is attached to the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 using the adhesive layer 400, support means such as a pemnut, a boss, and fastening means such as a screw may not be used. Since it is not necessary, the fixing can be simplified, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the thickness of the display device can be reduced.

In order to improve adhesion between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111, a groove 141 is formed on one surface of the bracket 140 facing the rear substrate 111, and an adhesive layer 400 is formed on the groove 141. It may be desirable.

In this case, the adhesive material can be prevented from leaking to the outside of the bracket 140, thereby facilitating the process.

As described above, when the bracket 140 is attached to the rear surface of the rear substrate 111, the display panel 100 may include a portion W1A extending further than the adhesive layer 400 in the longitudinal direction LD. In addition, the display panel 100 may include a portion W1 extending further than the bracket 140 in the longitudinal direction LD.

Referring to FIG. 5, the groove 141 may include portions having different depths.

In detail, the bracket 140 is grooved in the width direction WD to further improve the adhesion between the rear substrate 111 and the bracket 140 while allowing the adhesive material of the adhesive layer 400 to be more effectively positioned in the groove 141. The depth of 141 may include portions A1 and A2 that gradually increase or decrease.

For example, the depth t1 of the center portion of the groove 141 may be different from the depth t2 of the edge portion of the groove 141. In addition, the length of the groove 141 may be gradually reduced at the edge portion of the groove 141.

In other words, the adhesive layer 400 formed in the groove 141 may include portions having different thicknesses. For example, the adhesive layer 400 may have a width at the center portion greater than a width at the edge portion.

Referring to FIG. 6, an optical layer 110 may be disposed in an inner area IA of the bracket 140. In addition, the display panel 100 may extend in an outer area (OA) of the bracket 140.

For example, the optical layer 110 may be fixed to the bracket 140 inside the bracket 140. As such, when the optical layer 110 is fixed to the bracket 140, a part of the optical layer 110 may overlap with the bracket 140. In other words, a part of the optical layer 110 may be located inside or in contact with the bracket 140.

Referring to FIG. 7, the protrusions 900 are formed in the bracket 140, the holes 112 are formed in the optical layer 110, and the protrusions 900 of the bracket 140 are formed in the optical layer 110. By passing through the hole 112, the optical layer 110 may be fixed to the bracket 140.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 8, it is possible to form a guide portion 113 through which the hole 112 and the protrusion 900 of the bracket 140 may pass in the optical layer 110. In this case, the protrusion 900 of the bracket 140 may be positioned in the hole 112 by passing through the guide 113.

Referring to FIG. 9, a back light unit 120 may be disposed behind the optical layer 110.

The backlight unit 120 may be attached to the rear surface of the optical layer 110. For this purpose, although not shown, it is also possible to form an adhesive layer between the optical layer 110 and the backlight unit 120.

Alternatively, the backlight unit 120 may be spaced apart from the optical layer 110 by a predetermined distance.

Referring to FIG. 10, a frame 1600 may be disposed behind the backlight unit 120. The frame 1600 may be connected to the bracket 140.

To this end, a hole 1300 recessed in the direction toward the display panel 100 is formed in the bracket 140, and an edge of the frame 1600 is inserted into the hole 1300, thereby forming the bracket 140. The frame 1600 may be connected to the.

11, when the frame 1600 is connected to the bracket 140, the frame 1600 and the backlight unit 120 may be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance d1.

In addition, even when the frame 1600 is connected to the bracket 140, the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 may be exposed.

Herein, the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 is exposed when the viewer looks at the front surface of the front substrate 101 from the front of the display panel 100, that is, the viewer views the front of the display panel 100. When looking at the display panel 100 in the D2 direction, it may mean that the observer can observe the front edge of the front substrate 101.

In addition, the side edge of the front substrate 101 is exposed when the viewer looks at the front surface of the front substrate 101 from the side of the display panel 100. When looking at the display panel 100 in the direction D1 from the side, it may mean that the observer can observe the edge of the side of the front substrate 101.

As such, even when the frame 1600 is connected, when the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 is exposed or the edge of the side surface of the front substrate 101 is exposed, at least the front substrate 101 may be tempered glass. have. In this case, even when the front edge of the front substrate 101 is exposed or the edge of the side of the front substrate 101 is exposed, it is possible to prevent the front substrate 101 from being damaged by an external impact.

In addition, the thickness of the front substrate 101 may be thicker than the thickness of the rear substrate 111 in order to further improve the rigidity of the front substrate 101. In this case, even if the front substrate 101 is exposed, the possibility of damaging the front substrate 101 can be reduced.

Referring to FIG. 12, the width L2 of the frame 1600 may be smaller than the width L1 of the display panel 100. In other words, the width L2 of the frame 1600 may be smaller than the width of at least one of the front substrate 101 and the rear substrate 111 of the display panel 100.

In this case, when the viewer looks at the display panel 100 from the front of the display panel 100, the observer can observe most of the region of the display panel 100, and thus can be beautiful in appearance. In addition, since another edge may not be seen on the side of the display panel 100, a visual effect that the screen area becomes larger may be obtained.

In this case, an edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 and an edge of the side surface of the front substrate 101 may be exposed at the upper side ① and the lower side ② of the display panel 100, respectively.

A blocking member 1500 may be disposed at an edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101. Preferably, the blocking unit 1500 may be attached to the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101. The blocking unit 1500 may cover the dummy area outside the screen area (active area) in which the image of the display panel 100 is displayed so that the image displayed in the screen area may be more prominent. Can be.

The blocking unit 1500 may have a lower brightness than the surroundings. For example, the brightness of the blocking unit 1500 may be lower than that of the display panel 100. For this purpose, the blocking unit 1500 may have a substantially black color. For example, the blocking unit 1500 may be substantially a black tape, and may be formed by attaching the black tape to the front surface of the front substrate 101.

The blocking unit 1500 may be referred to as a black layer.

Since the blocking unit 1500 is disposed on the front surface of the front substrate 101 and the edges of the front surface of the front substrate 101 are exposed, almost all portions of the blocking unit 1500 may be exposed as shown in FIG. 13. have. In other words, when the viewer looks at the display panel 100 from the front of the display panel 100, the observer can observe almost all parts of the blocking unit 1500. That is, almost all parts of the blocking portion 1500 can be observed.

On the other hand, since the bracket 140 does not display an image, the bracket 140 may be disposed in a dummy area outside the screen area. In addition, the bracket 140 may be preferably covered by the blocking unit 1500. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12, the blocking unit 1500 may preferably overlap the bracket 140. Preferably, the bracket 140 is fully overlapped with the blocking unit 1500, and more preferably, the widths W10 and W20 of the blocking unit 1500 are the widths of the brackets 140 ( Greater than W11, W12). In this case, the blocking unit 1500 may include portions P1 and P2 extending further in the center direction of the front substrate 101 than the bracket 140, and the blocking unit 1500 may include the bracket 140. It is possible to include the portions (W1, W2) further extending in the outward direction of the front substrate 101.

Here, the widths W10 and W20 of the blocking unit 1500 and the widths W11 and W12 of the bracket 140 are the widths in the cross section of the display panel 100.

Referring to FIG. 14, the backlight unit 120 may be in contact with a frame 1600 arranged behind. In this case, it is possible to improve the structural stability of the backlight unit 120, it is possible to improve the uniformity of the light. Preferably, the frame 1600 may be attached to the back of the backlight unit 120.

The frame 1600 may include a material having high strength and thermal conductivity. For example, the frame 1600 may include a metal material, preferably aluminum (Al).

Alternatively, the backlight unit 120 and the optical layer 110 may be spaced apart from each other.

As shown in FIG. 15, the rear cover 130 is disposed on a portion of the rear surface of the frame 1600, and the driving signal is supplied to the display panel 100 between the rear cover 130 and the frame 1600. The driving board 1900 may be disposed.

In this case, the width L2 of the rear cover 130 may be smaller than the width L3 of the frame 1600. In addition, the width of the display panel 100, for example, the width L1 of the front substrate 101 may be greater than the width L3 of the rear cover 130 and the width L2 of the frame 1600.

Referring to FIG. 16, the width L10 of the front polarizing film 3400 disposed on the front surface of the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100 and the rear polarizing film 3410 disposed on the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 are shown. The width L11 may be different from each other. Here, the width L10 of the front polarizing film 3400 and the width L11 of the rear polarizing film 3410 are the widths in the cross section of the display panel 100.

Preferably, the width L10 of the front polarizing film 3400 may be larger than the width L11 of the rear polarizing film 3410.

Looking at this in more detail, as in the case of FIG. 17, the front polarizing film 3400 may include a portion A30 overlapping with the bracket 140. In addition, the bracket 140 may be spaced apart from the rear polarizing film 3410 and a predetermined distance d11 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rear substrate 111. In this case, the bracket 140 may be directly attached to the rear substrate 111, and thus the adhesion between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111 may be improved.

In addition, the front polarizing film 3400 may be spaced apart from the end of the front surface of the front substrate 101 by a predetermined distance (d12). In this case, the process of attaching the front polarizing film 3400 to the front substrate 101 may be facilitated, and the yield may be improved.

Referring to FIG. 18, the blocking unit 1500 and the front polarizing film 3400 may overlap. For example, the blocking unit 1500 may include a portion disposed above the front polarizing film 3400.

In addition, the front polarizing film 3400 may include a portion Y1 that extends more than the blocking portion 1500 in the outer direction of the display panel 100. In FIG. 18, only the case where the blocking unit 1500 is disposed above the front polarizing film 3400 is illustrated, but the blocking unit 1500 is also disposed between the front polarizing film 3400 and the front substrate 101. If possible, even in this case, the front polarizing film 3400 may include a portion Y1 that extends more than the blocking portion 1500 in the outer direction of the display panel 100.

Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the blocking unit 1500 may include a portion Y2 that extends more than the front polarizing film 3400 in the outward direction of the display panel 100. In this case, the blocking unit 1500 may also be in contact with the front polarizing film 3400 and may also be in contact with the front substrate 101.

If possible, even in this case, the blocking unit 1500 may include a portion Y2 that extends more than the front polarizing film 3400 in the outer direction of the display panel 100.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 20, the blocking unit 1500 and the front polarizing film 3400 may be formed on the same layer. In this case, the blocking unit 1500 may be disposed outside the front polarizing film 3400.

Referring to FIGS. 21A and 21B, the short sides SS1 and SS2 of the front substrate 101 extend longer than the short sides SS1 and SS2 of the rear substrate 111, and the long sides of the front substrate 101. The LS1 and LS2 may extend further than the long sides LS1 and LS2 of the rear substrate 111.

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, the strength of the front substrate 101 is sufficiently strong so that the front surface of the front substrate 101 is exposed even if the edge of the front surface is exposed or the side edge of the front substrate 101 is exposed. It is possible to prevent damage to the substrate 101.

Referring to FIG. 22, the bracket 140 may be divided into a plurality of display devices according to the present invention. For example, the bracket 140 may include horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2.

Here, the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 are attached to the long sides LS1 and LS2 of the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 of the display panel 100, and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 are connected to the display panel ( It is possible to be attached to the short side (SS1, SS2) side of the rear surface of the rear substrate 111 of 100.

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

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

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. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, the optical layer 110 overlaps the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 among the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2, and the vertical brackets ( 140B1 and 140B2 may not overlap. In other words, the optical layer 110 may overlap or contact the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2, and may be spaced a predetermined distance without overlapping the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2.

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, as in the case of FIG. 24, 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. The vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 have a small width A20 because the optical layer 110 is not fixed.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 25, the optical layer 110 may correspond 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 lengths of the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 may provide the main supporting force for the optical layer 110. Accordingly, the width A10 of the horizontal brackets 140A1 and 140A2 may be larger than the width A20 of the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2.

Meanwhile, in the display device according to the present invention, the backlight unit 120 may be a direct type backlight unit, or an edge type backlight unit may be applied.

Here, the edge type backlight unit may be classified into a lower edge type backlight unit and a side edge type backlight unit.

As shown in FIG. 26, the lower edge type backlight unit 7010 may be disposed at a long side (LS) side of the display panel 100 to emit light to a light guide plate (not shown). For example, the lower edge type backlight unit may be disposed on a side of the second long side LS2 disposed below the first long side LS1 and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100. 7010 may be disposed.

As in the case of FIG. 27, the side edge type backlight unit 7010 may emit light to a light guide plate (not shown) that is disposed on the short side (SS) side of the display panel 100. For example, the first side edge type backlight unit 7010A is disposed on the first short side SS1 of the display panel 100, and the second side side is disposed on the second short side SS2. An edge type backlight unit 7010B may be disposed.

The edge type backlight unit to be described below may correspond to both the side edge type backlight unit and the lower edge type backlight unit described above.

As described above, in the display device to which the edge type backlight unit is applied, the light guide plate 7000 may be disposed between the frame 1600 and the optical layer 110.

The light guide plate 7000 may allow the light emitted from the edge type backlight unit to travel forward of the display panel 100.

Meanwhile, the bracket 140 may be divided into a plurality of sub brackets. For example, as shown in FIG. 28, a plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 disposed in the first area LS1 of the rear substrate 111 are divided into a plurality of parts, and a plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 are disposed in the third region SS1 of the rear substrate 111. The plurality of first vertical brackets 140B1 disposed may be divided into a plurality of parts, and the plurality of second vertical brackets 140B2 disposed in the fourth area SS2 of the rear substrate 111 may be divided into a plurality of parts.

In other words, in the first area LS1 of the display panel 100, the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 may be arranged side by side in a first direction, for example, in a direction parallel to the long side LS of the display panel 100. . In addition, in the third area SS1 of the display panel 100, the plurality of first vertical brackets 140B1 intersect the first direction, for example, in a direction parallel to the short side SS of the display panel 100. The second vertical brackets 140B2 may be arranged side by side in the fourth area SS2 of the display panel 100.

As such, when the bracket 140 is divided into a plurality of sub brackets, when the rear cover 130 is distorted, the deformation amount of the rear cover 130 may be distributed by the respective sub brackets. Accordingly, it is possible to further reduce the light leakage phenomenon.

As shown in FIG. 29A, a horizontal bracket 140A1 disposed in a first area of the display panel 100, for example, a first area of the rear substrate 111, that is, the first long side LS1, has a total of 7. The first vertical bracket 140B1 is divided into two horizontal brackets ⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬, and is disposed in a third region of the display panel 100, for example, a third region of the rear substrate 111, that is, the first short side SS1. The second vertical bracket 140B2 is divided into three vertical brackets ①②③ and is disposed in the fourth area of the display panel 100, for example, the fourth area of the rear substrate 111, that is, the second short side SS2. Assume that the case is divided into three vertical brackets (④⑤⑥).

Here, the spacing between two adjacent horizontal brackets 104A1 may be different from the spacing between two adjacent vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2. Preferably, the spacing between two adjacent horizontal brackets 104A1 may be smaller than the spacing between two adjacent vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2. For example, the distance V1 between the first horizontal bracket ⑦ and the second horizontal bracket ⑧ of the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 is equal to the first-1 vertical bracket of the plurality of first vertical brackets 140B1. (V) between the first and second vertical brackets (⑤) and between the 2-1 vertical brackets (1) and the 2-2 vertical brackets (②) of the plurality of second vertical brackets 140B2. It may be less than the interval (V10) of.

As such, the reason why the distance between two adjacent horizontal brackets 104A1 is smaller than the distance between two adjacent vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 is as follows.

The length of the first long side LS1 and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100 is longer than the length of the first short side SS1 and the second short side SS2, and thus, the pressure is mainly used in the display panel 100. It may take on the first and second long sides LS1 and LS2 of.

In consideration of this, it may be desirable to more closely arrange the horizontal bracket 140A1 disposed on the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100 where the pressure is relatively greater than that of 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).

Meanwhile, the distance between two adjacent brackets 140 may be larger than the width of the predetermined bracket 140.

For example, as in the case of (B) of 29, the distance V1 between the first horizontal bracket ⑦ and the second horizontal bracket ⑧ of the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 is defined as the first horizontal bracket ⑦. It may be preferable to be larger than the width V30 of) and the width V31 of the second horizontal bracket (⑧).

Meanwhile, even when the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 of the bracket 140 are divided into plural numbers, the rear cover 130 may be fitted to the bracket 140 in a sliding manner.

For example, as shown in FIG. 30, when the protrusion 3710 formed on the frame 1600 is fitted to the rail 3700 formed on the bracket 140, the frame 1600 and the bracket 140 are connected to each other. By sliding the protrusion 3710 of the frame 1600 to the rail 3700 formed in the bracket 140 in a sliding manner, the frame 1600 and the bracket 140 may be connected to each other. That is, the frame 1600 may be connected to the bracket 140 in a sliding manner.

In this case, at least one bracket 140 may be engaged with the frame 1600. For example, the at least one first vertical bracket 140B1 and the at least one second vertical bracket 140B2 may be engaged with the frame 1600.

Meanwhile, even when the horizontal brackets 140A1 and the vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 of the bracket 140 are divided into plural numbers, the optical layer 110 may be fitted to the bracket 140 in a sliding manner.

Meanwhile, the distance between two adjacent brackets 140 may be different depending on the position on the display panel 100.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 30, the first horizontal bracket ⑦ and the second horizontal bracket ⑧ among the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 and ⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬ disposed on the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100. The distance V1 between) may be different from the distance V2 between the third horizontal bracket ⑨ and the fourth horizontal bracket ⑩. Preferably, the distance V1 between the first horizontal bracket ⑦ and the second horizontal bracket ⑧ may be smaller than the distance V2 between the third horizontal bracket ⑨ and the fourth horizontal bracket ⑩. have.

In other words, the distance between two adjacent horizontal brackets 140A1 may increase as the outer side of the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100 increases.

In this case, structural stability of the display device can be improved.

Meanwhile, in the corner region of the display panel 100, the distance between two adjacent brackets 140 may be set relatively small.

For example, as shown in FIG. 31, the shortest distance between the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the first vertical bracket 140B1 at the boundary between the first area LS1 and the third area SS1 of the display panel 100. V4 may be smaller than an interval V10 between two adjacent vertical brackets 140B1 and 140B2 and an interval V1 between two adjacent horizontal brackets 140A1. In other words, the seventh horizontal bracket ⑬ disposed in the first area LS1 of the display panel 100 and the first-1 vertical bracket ④ disposed in the third area SS1 of the display panel 100. The interval V4 is between the first horizontal bracket (⑦) and the second horizontal bracket (⑧) and between the 2-1 vertical bracket (①) and the 2-2 vertical bracket (②). It may be less than the interval (V10) of.

In addition, at the boundary between the first area LS1 and the fourth area SS2 of the display panel 100, the shortest gaps V3 between the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the second vertical bracket 140B2 are adjacent to each other. The distance V10 between the brackets 140B1 and 140B2 may be smaller than the distance V1 between two adjacent horizontal brackets 140A1. In other words, the first horizontal bracket ⑦ disposed in the first area LS1 of the display panel 100 and the second-1 vertical bracket ① disposed in the fourth area SS2 of the display panel 100 are provided. The interval V4 is between the first horizontal bracket (⑦) and the second horizontal bracket (⑧) and between the 2-1 vertical bracket (①) and the 2-2 vertical bracket (②). It may be less than the interval (V10) of.

In this case, the structural stability of the display device can be further improved.

52, the shortest interval V4 between the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the first vertical bracket 140B1 at the boundary between the first area LS1 and the third area SS1 of the display panel 100, as shown in FIG. 52. ) May be different from the shortest distance V3 between the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the second vertical bracket 140B2 at the boundary between the first area LS1 and the fourth area SS2 of the display panel 100. For example, at the boundary between the first area LS1 and the third area SS1 of the display panel 100, the shortest distance V4 between the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the first vertical bracket 140B1 is determined by the display panel ( At the boundary between the first area LS1 and the fourth area SS2 of the reference numeral 100, the distance between the horizontal bracket 140A1 and the second vertical bracket 140B2 may be greater than the shortest distance V3.

In this case, the plurality of first vertical brackets 140B1 disposed in the third region SS1 of the display panel 100 and the plurality of second vertical brackets 140B2 disposed in the fourth region SS2 are mutually different. It is possible to be staggered.

For example, the first straight line EL1 perpendicular to the short side SS of the display panel 100 while passing through the 2-1 vertical bracket ① disposed in the fourth area SS2 of the display panel 100. Does not meet the second straight line EL2 perpendicular to the short side SS of the display panel 100 while passing through the 1-1 vertical bracket ④ disposed in the third area SS1 of the display panel 100. The display panel 100 may be spaced apart from each other in a direction perpendicular to the long side LS of the display panel 100. In this case, the 2-1 vertical bracket (①) and the 1-1 vertical bracket (④) can be seen to be staggered with each other.

In other words, the distance between the 2-1 vertical bracket ① and the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100 is equal to the 1-1 vertical bracket ④ and the first long side of the display panel 100. It can be regarded as smaller than the interval between LS1).

In addition, the interval between the 2-3 vertical bracket (③) and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100 may be the 1-3 th vertical bracket (⑥) and the second long side LS2 of the display panel 100. It can be seen that the gap between them is larger.

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 may be arranged in a zigzag form.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 33A, the plurality of horizontal brackets 140A1 and ⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬ disposed on the first long side LS1 of the display panel 100 may be arranged in a zigzag form.

More specifically, as in the case of FIG. 33B, the first horizontal bracket ⑦ and the second horizontal bracket ⑧ are partially overlapped in a direction parallel to the long side LS of the display panel 100. Partially overlap.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 34A, the plurality of second vertical brackets 140B2 and ①②③ disposed on the second short side SS2 of the display panel 100 may be arranged in a zigzag form.

In more detail, as in the case of FIG. 34A, the 2-1st vertical bracket ① and the 2-2nd vertical bracket ② are aligned in a direction parallel to the short side SS of the display panel 100. You can partially overlap.

Meanwhile, the display device according to the present invention may further include a bottom bar supporting the display panel 100 under the display panel 100.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 35, in the first area LS1 of the display panel 100, the first horizontal bracket 140A1 is disposed and faces the first area LS1 of the display panel 100. In the second area LS2, a second horizontal bracket 140A2 may be disposed.

In addition, the first vertical bracket 140B1 is disposed in the third area SS1 adjacent to the first area LS1 and the second area LS2 of the display panel 100, and the third area of the display panel 100. In the fourth region SS4 facing SS1, the second vertical bracket 140B2 may be disposed.

In addition, a bottom bar 4110 supporting the display panel 100 may be disposed below the second area LS2 of the display panel 100.

Here, the bracket 140 disposed in the first area LS1 of the display panel 100 is the first horizontal bracket 140A1, and the bracket 140 disposed in the second area LS2 is the second horizontal bracket 140A2. ), But it is possible to have a different structure between the first horizontal bracket (140A1) and the second horizontal bracket (140A2).

As such, the lower bar 4110 may be disposed on the second area LS2 of the rear cover 130 to support the display panel 100 not to flow down.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 35, the bracket 140 and another fastening bracket 4100 may be attached to the second area LS1 of the rear substrate 111.

The fastening bracket 4100 may be connected to the lower bar 4110, as shown in FIG. 36. For example, the lower bar 4110 and the fastening bracket 4100 may be fastened to each other by a predetermined fastening means 4120. To this end, a groove 4101 is formed in the fastening bracket 4100, a hole 4111 is formed in the lower bar 4110, and a fastening means 4120 penetrates the groove 4111 so that the groove 4101 is formed. It can be fixed to.

In addition, an adhesive layer 400A may be disposed between the fastening bracket 4100 and the rear substrate 111.

Hereinafter, the bracket 140 and the auxiliary bracket will be described. Hereinafter, the description of the parts described in detail above will be omitted.

37 to 52 are views for explaining the bracket and the auxiliary bracket in more detail.

Referring to FIG. 37, the bracket 140 may include a first portion 3000 and a second portion 3001 and 3002.

Here, the second portions 3001 and 3002 may be located at both ends of the first portion 3000.

An adhesive layer 400 may be formed on the first portion 3000. That is, the adhesive layer 400 is positioned between the first portion 3000 of the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111. Accordingly, the first portion 3000 may be in close contact with the rear substrate 111.

The second portions 3001 and 3002 may be spaced apart from the rear substrate 111 by a predetermined distance 10Y and 20Y in the vertical direction DRV of the display panel 100. Accordingly, a space may be provided between the second portions 3001 and 3002 and the rear substrate 111.

In addition, the adhesive layer 400 may include a photocurable material. In this case, the adhesive layer 400 may be hardened more quickly, and it is possible to prevent the bracket 140 from being separated.

As such, when the adhesive layer 400 includes a photocurable material, the bracket 140 may include a light transmissive material. In this case, it is possible to cure the adhesive layer 400 by irradiating the adhesive layer 400 with light such as UV from the upper portion of the bracket 140 in a state in which the bracket 140 is attached to the rear substrate 111.

In addition, in the case where the adhesive layer 400 includes a photocurable material, the thickness 10E of the first portion 3000 of the bracket 140 may correspond to the second portion (2) so that light may more easily pass through the bracket 140. It is possible to be smaller than the thickness 20E of 3001, 3002.

In addition, the length 10X of the first portion 3000 corresponding to the adhesive layer 400 may be smaller than the total length 20X + 21X of the second portions 3001 and 3002. In this case, stress generated in a structure such as a frame (not shown) may be suppressed from being transmitted to the rear substrate 111 through the bracket 140 to suppress the occurrence of light leakage.

Referring to FIG. 38, the second portions 3001 and 3002 of the bracket 140 may include protrusions 3003 protruding in the vertical direction DRV of the display panel 100. For example, the bracket 140 may include a protrusion 3003 protruding upward from the upper surfaces of the second portions 3001 and 3002.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 39, the bracket 140 includes a protrusion 3003 protruding upward from the upper surfaces of the second portions 3001 and 3002 and a protrusion 3003 protruding downward from the lower surface. can do.

Meanwhile, the display device according to the present invention may include an auxiliary bracket 4000 engaged with the bracket 140. Here, the auxiliary bracket 4000 may suppress the transfer of the stress of the structure to the bracket 140 while connecting a structure such as a frame.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 40, the auxiliary bracket 4000 includes a lower portion 4002, an upper portion 4001, and a connecting portion 4003 connecting the upper portion 4001 and the lower portion 4002. can do. In such a case, a space may be provided between the upper portion 4001 and the lower portion 4002.

The bracket 140 and the auxiliary bracket 4000 may be engaged by inserting a portion of the bracket 140 into a space between the upper portion 4001 and the lower portion 4002 of the auxiliary bracket 4000.

Preferably, the second portions 3001 and 3002 of the bracket 140 may be sandwiched between the upper portion 4001 and the lower portion 4002 of the auxiliary bracket 4000.

In this case, the auxiliary bracket 4000 may include a portion located between the bracket 140 and the rear substrate 111 in an area corresponding to the second portions 3001 and 3002 of the adjacent bracket 140. Do.

In the region between the two brackets 140, the structure 5000 may include a portion positioned between the auxiliary bracket 4000 and the rear substrate 111.

In addition, a portion of the auxiliary bracket 4000 corresponding to the first portion 3000 of the bracket 140 may be recessed to a predetermined depth 10B. Accordingly, the width 21B of the portion of the auxiliary bracket 4000 corresponding to the second portions 3001 and 3002 of the bracket 140 is equal to the width of the portion corresponding to the first portion 3000 of the bracket 140. 20B). In this case, the auxiliary bracket 4000 and the bracket 140 may be more naturally engaged.

In addition, the auxiliary bracket 4000 may include a hole or groove 4004 corresponding to the protrusion 3003 of the bracket 140.

In this case, since the protrusion 3003 of the bracket 140 is fitted into the hole or the groove 4004 of the auxiliary bracket 4000, the bracket 140 and the auxiliary bracket 4000 can be more firmly engaged.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 41, holes or grooves 3004 are formed in the second portions 3001 and 3002 of the bracket 140, and the upper portion 4001 and / or the lower portion of the auxiliary bracket 4000 ( It is possible for the protrusion 4005 to be formed at 4002.

Even in this case, the bracket 140 and the auxiliary bracket 4000 may be more firmly engaged by fitting the protrusion 4005 of the auxiliary bracket 4000 to the protrusion 3004 of the bracket 140.

Meanwhile, although one auxiliary bracket 4000 may correspond to one bracket 140, as shown in FIG. 42, one auxiliary bracket 4000 may be engaged with a plurality of brackets 140. have.

In this case, the predetermined structure 5000 may be engaged with the space AR100 between the upper portion 4001 and the lower portion 4002 of the auxiliary bracket 4000 in the region between the two brackets 140.

For example, the structure 5000 includes a protrusion 5001, and the protrusion 5001 of the structure 5000 is to be fitted into a space between the upper portion 4001 and the lower portion 4002 of the auxiliary frame 4000. Can be.

Here, the structure 5000 may vary. For example, although not shown, a frame disposed behind the optical layer 110 disposed behind the display panel 100 is a structure, or an auxiliary portion connected to a frame of the display panel 100. It is also possible if the frame is a structure. This will be described in detail below.

Meanwhile, the structure 5000 may include a plurality of protrusions 5001 as in the case of FIG. 43.

The plurality of protrusions 5001 of the structure 5000 may correspond to a space between the upper portion 4001 and the lower portion 4002 of the auxiliary bracket 4000 in an area between two adjacent brackets 140, respectively. .

The protrusions 5001 of the structure 5000 may be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance 10C.

As such, when the structure 5000 is simply engaged without being fastened or fixed to the bracket 140 or the auxiliary bracket 4000, the stress generated in the structure 5000 may be caused by the auxiliary bracket 4000 and / or the bracket 140. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of light leakage phenomenon by suppressing the transmission to.

On the other hand, under the premise that the bracket 140 and the auxiliary bracket 4000 are engaged, the shape of the bracket 140 and the auxiliary bracket 4000 may be variously changed.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 44, the bracket 140 may include a first portion 3100 and a second portion 3101 and 3102. Here, the second portions 3101 and 3102 may be located at both ends of the first portion 3100.

In addition, the second portions 3101 and 3102 may include upper portions 3101A and 3102A and lower portions 3101B and 3102B spaced apart by a predetermined distance 20C in the vertical direction DRV of the display panel 100. . Accordingly, a space may be provided between the upper portions 3101A and 3102A and the lower portions 3101B and 3102B.

Even in such a structure, the adhesive layer 400 may include a photocurable material, and the bracket 140 may include a light transmissive material. In addition, the length 30X of the first portion 3100 corresponding to the adhesive layer 400 may be smaller than the total length 40X + 41X of the second portions 3101 and 3102.

Referring to FIG. 45, the second portions 3101 and 3102 of the bracket 140 may include holes or grooves 3103. For example, it is possible that holes or grooves 3103 are formed in the upper portions 3101A and 3102A and the lower portions 3101B and 3102B of the second portions 3101 and 3102 of the bracket 140, respectively.

When the bracket 140 having the above structure is applied, the shape of the auxiliary bracket meshing with the bracket 140 may be changed.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 46, the auxiliary bracket 4000 may include a horizontal portion 4201 and a vertical portion 4202.

The horizontal portion 4201 of the auxiliary bracket 4000 is sandwiched between the upper portions 3101A and 3102A and the lower portions 3101B and 3102B of the second portions 3101 and 3102 of the bracket 140 so that the bracket 140 ) And the auxiliary bracket 4000 can be engaged.

In this case, it is possible for the auxiliary bracket 4000 to include a portion located between the upper portions 3101A and 3102A and the lower portions 3101B and 3102B.

In addition, the controller 170Q may control overall operations of the broadcast signal receiver 100Q. For example, the controller 170Q may control the tuner 110Q to control selecting of an RF broadcast corresponding to a channel selected by a user or a previously stored channel.

In addition, the controller 170Q may control the broadcast signal receiver 100Q by 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 the desired application or application list into the broadcast signal receiver 100Q.

For example, the controller 170Q controls the tuner 110Q to input a signal of a selected channel 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.

The display unit 180Q converts an image signal, a data signal, an OSD signal processed by the controller 170Q, or an image signal, data signal, etc. received from the external device interface unit 135Q into R, G, and B signals, respectively. Generate a drive signal.

The audio output unit 185Q receives a signal processed by the controller 170Q, for example, a stereo signal, a 3.1 channel signal, or a 5.1 channel signal, and outputs a voice signal.

The power supply unit 190Q supplies the corresponding power throughout the broadcast signal receiver 100Q.

The remote control apparatus 200Q transmits a user input to the user input interface unit 150Q. To this end, the remote control apparatus 200 can use Bluetooth, RF (radio frequency) communication, infrared (IR) communication, UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, or the like.

In addition, the remote control apparatus 200Q may receive an image, an audio or a data signal output from the user input interface unit 150Q, display it on the remote control apparatus 200Q, or output audio or vibration.

On the other hand, unlike in FIG. 56, the broadcast signal receiver 100Q does not include the tuner 110Q and the demodulator 120Q, and the image is transmitted through the network interface 130Q or the external device interface 135Q. The content may be received and played back.

FIG. 76 is an internal block diagram of the controller illustrated in FIG. 75.

Referring to FIG. 76, the controller 170Q may include a demultiplexer 310Q, an image processor 320Q, an OSD generator 340Q, a mixer 350Q, a frame rate converter 355Q, and a formatter 360Q. It may include. In addition, the apparatus may further include a voice processor (not shown) and a data processor (not shown).

The demultiplexer 310Q demultiplexes the input stream. For example, when an MPEG-2 TS is input, it may be demultiplexed and separated into video, audio, and data signals, respectively. Here, the stream signal input to the demultiplexer 310Q may be a stream signal output from the tuner 110Q, 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 processor 320Q may include an image decoder 325Q and a scaler 335Q.

The video decoder 325Q decodes the demultiplexed video signal, and the scaler 335Q performs scaling to output the resolution of the decoded video signal on the display unit 180Q.

The video decoder 325Q may include decoders of various standards.

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

Also, for example, when the demultiplexed video signal is a digital video broadcasting (DMB) scheme or an encoded video signal of H.264 standard according to DVB-H, it may be decoded by an H.264 decoder.

On the other hand, the video signal decoded by the image processor 320Q is input to the mixer 350Q.

The OSD generator 340Q generates an OSD signal according to a user input or itself. For example, based on a control signal from the user input interface unit 150Q, a signal for displaying various types of information on a screen of the display unit 180Q as a graphic or text may be generated. The generated OSD signal may include various data such as a user interface screen, various menu screens, widgets, and icons of the broadcast signal receiver 100Q.

The mixer 350Q may mix the OSD signal generated by the OSD generator 340Q and the decoded image 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 generator 340Q may be displayed on the display 180Q.

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

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

Meanwhile, since the block diagram of the controller 170Q illustrated in FIG. 76 is a block diagram for an embodiment of the present disclosure, another module may be added or some of the illustrated modules may be omitted according to the needs of those skilled in the art.

Meanwhile, as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 74, the display unit 180Q of the broadcast signal receiver 100Q according to the present invention may expose an edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100. Can be.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 77, the side cover 4400 may be disposed on the side surface 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 below the display panel 100, for example, the second long side LS2.

In addition, a pedestal 9610 may be disposed below the lower cover 9100, and the 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. 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 at the side or top of the image, but because the lower cover 9100 is located at the bottom of the image, the side cover 4400 can be more easily recognized by the eyes of the user.

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 below the display unit 180Q.
