According to the present invention, a panel assembly is formed by integrating a first display panel which has both edges rounded with a second display panel which has both edges rounded in a lower part. The panel assembly has four edges rounded. Therefore, the four edges of a display unit can be rounded.

Description

[0001] PANEL ASSEMBLY AND DISPLAY APPARATUS [0002]

The present invention relates to a panel assembly having curved corners and a display device having the panel assembly.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a display device is an apparatus that receives an image or image information and displays an image or an image.

The display device includes a display unit on which a screen is displayed, and the display unit includes a display panel made of a liquid crystal panel and a case covering the side and rear surfaces of the display panel.

In recent years, such a display device has been developed in a direction to minimize the width of a bezel formed by a case in consideration of design.

In addition, in order to improve the design of the display device, it has been considered that four corners of the case are formed as curved lines. In general, the display panel is formed into a rectangular plate shape having four corners.

Therefore, in the case of manufacturing a display device in which four corners of the case are formed in a curved shape while using a rectangular panel-shaped display panel, the corner of the display panel must be obscured by the case so that it is difficult to reduce the width of the bezel portion of the case to a certain level or less .

One aspect of the present invention is to provide a panel assembly having curved corners and a display device having the panel assembly.

A panel assembly and a display device having the panel assembly according to one aspect of the present invention are formed in a rectangular plate shape and have upper and lower corners formed in a curved line and a lower end corner formed in a square shape, The corners are formed to be angled, and both lower edges include curved second display panels.

The lower end of the first display panel and the upper end of the second display panel overlap each other in the front-rear direction.

The first display panel and the second display panel are formed to have the same upper and lower widths.

The lower end of the first display panel and the upper end of the second display panel are connected to each other.

The second display panel is formed to have a smaller width than the first display panel.

The case may further include a case having a rectangular ring-shaped side cover portion to surround the side surface of the panel assembly, wherein four corners of the side cover portion are curved to correspond to the panel assembly.

As described above, it is possible to manufacture a panel assembly in which the first display panel having the curved upper and lower corners and the second display panel having the curved lower both corners combine to form curved lines at all four corners. A display device in which all four corners are curved can be manufactured.

1 is a perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is an exploded perspective view of a display display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
3 is a perspective view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
4 is an exploded perspective view of a display display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention.
5 is a perspective view of a display display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1, the display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit 10 on which an image is displayed, a stand 20 mounted on a horizontal surface such as a top surface of the desk and supporting the display unit 10 .

The display unit 10 includes a panel assembly 11 on which an image is displayed and a case 12 covering the side and rear surfaces of the panel assembly 11. [

The panel assembly 11 is formed in a rectangular shape, and all four corners of the panel assembly 11 are formed as curved lines.

The case 12 includes a side cover portion 12a that is formed in a square ring shape and covers the upper, lower, right, and left four sides of the panel assembly 11. The four corner portions of the side cover portion 12a are formed in a curved square ring shape so as to correspond to the panel assembly 11. [

The panel assembly 11 includes a first display panel 11a and a second display panel 11b each formed of a liquid crystal panel so that all four corners of the panel assembly 11 are formed in a curved line.

The first display panel 11a is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and both upper corners thereof are formed as curved lines and the lower end corners thereof are formed angularly. The upper and lower edges of the second display panel 11b are angled and the lower edges of the second display panel 11b are curved. In this embodiment, the first display panel 11a and the second display panel 11b are formed to have the same vertical width and lateral width.

By assembling the first display panel 11a and the second display panel 11b thus configured, the panel assembly 11 having all four corners is manufactured. In this embodiment, a part of the lower part of the first display panel 11a and a part of the upper part of the second display panel 11b are arranged to overlap each other in the front-rear direction.

The reason why the panel assembly 11 is formed as described above is that the display panels 11a and 11b can be formed with curved lines at both sides of one side of the display panel 11a and 11b, It is not possible to form curves to the edges on both sides of the other side of the display panels 11a and 11b.

Thus, the panel assembly 11 is formed by combining the two display panels 11a and 11b, each having two curved edges, into four curved corners. The panel assembly 11 is mounted on the case 12 By providing the bezel in the side cover portion 12a, the display unit 10 in which all four corners are formed in a curved shape can be manufactured while the bezel is very thin.

The first display panel 11a and the second display panel 11b are formed to have the same upper and lower widths so that a portion of the lower portion of the first display panel 11a and a portion of the upper portion of the second display panel 11b However, the present invention is not limited thereto. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second display panel 11b may have a smaller vertical width than the first display panel 11a And the upper end of the second display panel 11b is connected to the lower end of the first display panel 11a to form the panel assembly 11. [

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, modifications or variations are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.

11a: first display panel 11b: second display panel
12: Case 12a: Side cover part
20: Stand
