Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display apparatus comprising, a display panel comprising a front substrate and a back substrate, at least one structure disposed in the rear of the display panel, and a supporting film attached to the display panel and connected to at least one structure.

Description

FIG. 111 111 of the display panel 100, a buffer portion BSP4 may be formed between the structure and the supporting film SFM, for example, between the supporting film SFM and the backlight unit. The buffer portion BSP4 positioned between the structure and the supporting film SFM may be referred to as a fourth buffer portion.

The fourth buffer portion BSP4 may include an elastic material such as resin, silicon, etc.

The fourth buffer portion BSP4 may be attached to the supporting film SFM by an adhesive agent.

Moreover, the supporting film SFM may include a light transmissive material for transmitting light generated from the backlight unit to the display panel 100.

Referring to FIG. 38, the optical layer 110 and the light guide plate 7000 may be disposed on the bracket 140A, and a connecting frame 5000AT may connect the bracket 140AT and the frame 1600.

Moreover, with structures, such as the backlight unit, disposed in the internal space of the supporting film SFM, an edge of the front surface of the display panel 100 may be disposed, and a side of the display panel 100 may also be exposed. In this case, an observer situated point P10 can observe the edge of the front surface of the display panel 100, and an observer situated at point P20 can observe the side of the display panel 100.

Both ends of the supporting film SFM may be connected to the film joining portion SFJ in a sliding fashion.

For example, as shown in FIG. 39, a first slot 2000 may be formed in a rail shape in the film joining portion SFJ. Also, the both ends of the supporting film SFM may be vertically inserted into the slot 2000 of the film joining portion SFJ in a sliding fashion.

Accordingly, the supporting film SFM may such a shape as to surround the structures inside it.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 40, the both ends of the supporting film SFM may be horizontally inserted into the slot 2000 of the film joining portion SFJ in a sliding fashion.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 41, the film joining portion SFJ may include a vertical film joining portion SFMJa that connect both ends SFM3 and SFME4 of the supporting film SFM facing each other in a vertical direction and a horizontal film joining portion SFMJb that connect both ends SFME1 and SFME2 of the supporting film facing each other in a horizontal direction.

Referring to FIG. 42, a bottom cover 9100AT for covering at least part of the bottom of the front surface of the display panel 100 may be disposed on at least the bottom of the display panel 100. The bottom cover 9100AT may support the frame 1600.

Since the structures positioned in the internal space of the supporting film SFM are simply connected to the supporting film SFM through the film joining portion SF, if the bottom cover 9100AT supporting the frame 1600 is disposed on at least a bottom portion of the display panel 100, the structures positioned in the internal space of the supporting film SFM can be effectively supported, thereby improving structural stability.

Moreover, the supporting film SFM may include a portion positioned between the bottom cover 9100AT and the frame 1600. Although not shown, the bottom cover 9100AT and the frame 1600 may be fastened by predetermined fastening means.

Referring to FIG. 43, a front polarizing film 3400 may be disposed on the front substrate 101. Also, the supporting film SFM may be a polarizing film for polarizing incident light. The supporting film SFM may be referred to as a back polarizing film because the supporting film SFM is disposed on the back substrate 111. In other words, it can be seen that the back polarizing film disposed on the back substrate 100 restrain structures such as the backlight unit.

Preferably, the length WS12 of a contact portion between the front polarizing film 3400 and the front substrate 101 is greater than the length WS13 of a contact portion between the supporting film SFM and the back substrate 111.

On the other hand, the total length (WS14+WS15+WS13) of the supporting film SFM may be greater than the total length WS12 of the front polarizing film 3400.

Preferably, the supporting film SFM has sufficiently high rigidity because it restrains structures disposed in the rear of the display panel 100.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 44, the thickness WS16 of the supporting film SFM may be preferably greater than the thickness WS17 of the front polarizing film 3400.

Referring to FIG. 45, the width of the ends of the supporting film SFM may be relatively large. More specifically, the width WS19 of both ends of the supporting film SFM may be preferably greater than the width WS18 of the portion between the both ends of the supporting film SFM.

Moreover, the internal width WS21 of the slot 2000 of the film joining portion SFJ may be greater than the width WS20 of the entrance thereof. In this case, the both ends of the supporting film SFM may be firmly inserted into the slot 2000 of the film joining portion SFJ. Accordingly, structural stability can be improved.

Moreover, the film joining portion SFJ may preferably include another slot 2010 into which the frame 1600 is inserted, in addition to the slot 2000 corresponding to the supporting film SFM.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 46, if the bracket 140AT is disposed on the supporting film SFM, the supporting film SFM may include a protrusion 9500 for restraining movement of the bracket 140AT.

The protrusion 9500 can prevent the bracket 140AT from moving toward the center of the display panel 100 on top of the supporting film SFM.

The protrusion 9500 may be attached and formed onto the surface of the supporting film SFM.

Meanwhile, the both ends of the supporting film SFM may be connected to different film joining portions.

For example, as shown in FIG. 47, one end of the supporting film SFM may be connected to a first film joining portion SFJ1, and the other end of the supporting film SFM may be connected to a second film joining portion SFJ2.

Moreover, the first film joining portion SFJ1 and the second film joining portion SFJ2 may be connected to the frame 1600.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 48, the display apparatus may further include fastening means 9410 and 9411 for fastening the bracket 140AT and the supporting film SFM. In this case, structural stability can be further improved.

Moreover, the display apparatus may further include fastening means 9400 and 9401 for fastening the frame 1600 and the supporting film SFM. In this case, structural stability can be improved, and the film joining portion may be omitted. Further, the supporting film SFM may be attached to the frame 1600. In other words, an adhesive layer 9200 may be disposed between the supporting film SFM and the frame 1600 to thus attach the supporting film SFM to the frame 1600.

Referring to FIG. 49, the display apparatus may include a side cover 4400 including a portion that covers the side of the display panel 100 and a back cover 130 positioned in the rear of the display panel 100 and connected to the side cover 4400.

In this instance, the back cover 130, the side cover 4400, and the frame 1600 may be fastened to one another using a fastening member 9300, 9301. In this instance, the back cover 130, the side cover 4400, and the frame 1600 may be electrically connected to one another using the fastening member 9300, 9301. Hence, electromagnetic interference (EMI) may be reduced. In this case, the side cover 4400 includes hole, the frame 1600 includes hole corresponding to the hole of the side cover 4400, and the back cover 130 includes hole corresponding to the hole of the side cover 4400 and the hole of the frame 1600. And, the fastening member 9300, 9301 penetrates the hole of the side cover 4400, the hole of the frame 1600, and hole of the back cover 130.

As shown in FIG. 50, the frame 1600 may have at least one hole. For example, the frame 1600 may have at least one first hole 1600HA and at least one second hole 1600HB.

As shown in FIGS. 49 and 50, the first hole 1600HA and/or the second hole 1600HB may correspond to the fastening member S400 for fastening the frame 1600 to the back cover 130 and the side cover 4400. And, the first hole 1600HA or the second hole 1600HB may be used to fasten the frame 1600 to a predetermined structure, for example, the back cover 130 or may be used as a hole through which another structure passes.

As shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the side cover 4400 including a portion positioned on the side of the display panel 100 may be connected to the frame 1600. In other word, the side cover 4400 provided adjacent to sides of the front and back substrate 101, 111.

The side cover 4400 may prevent a foreign material such as dust from being penetrated into the display apparatus and may protect the side of the display panel 100 from a damage.

The back cover 130 is disposed in the rear of the display panel 100 and may be connected to the side cover 4400. In other word, the back cover 130 is provided on the side cover 4400.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the side cover 4400 may include a portion which extend in the direction toward the middle of the display panel 100, so as to more efficiently fix the side cover 4400.

In this instance, the side cover 4400 may include a portion positioned between the back cover 130 and the display panel 100 in a width direction (i.e., a vertical direction) of the display panel 100.

An edge of the front surface of the display panel 100 may be exposed in a state where the back cover 130 is connected to the side cover 4400. The exposure of the edge of the front surface of the display panel 100 may indicate that an edge of a front surface of the front polarizing film 3400 attached to the front substrate 101 is exposed. Alternatively, the exposure of the edge of the front surface of the display panel 100 may indicate that an edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 is exposed.

In this instance, when the observer in the front of the display panel 100 (i.e., at a first position P1) views the display panel 100, the observer may observe almost the entire area of the display panel 100. Hence, an attractive appearance of the display panel 100 may be provided. Further, because another edge of the side of the display panel 100 may not be showed to the observer, a visual effect, in which the observer may feel that the screen size of the display panel 100 is greater than the real screen size of the display panel 100, may be obtained.

In other word, the side cover 4400 includes a sidewall 4400V and an overhang portion 4400H extending in the first direction (i.e., a horizontal direction DRH), a first end portion 4403 of the sidewall 4400V covers the sides of the front and back substrates 101, 111. And, the overhang portion 4400H being provide at the second end portion 4404, which opposite from the first end portion, and the overhang portion being space from an end of the sidewall 4400V by a prescribed distance in the second direction (i.e., a vertical direction DRV) such that the side cover 4400 provides a rim for a back cover 130. In other word, the overhang portion 4400H may provided between the first end portion 4403 and the second end portion 4404, and the overhang portion being spaced from the first end portion 4403 and the second end portion 4404. And, an end of the back cover 130 positioned at a portion adjacent to a joint between the sidewall 4400V and the overhang portion 4400H. The sidewall 4400V may be referred to as a first portion 4400V of the side cover 4400, and the overhang portion 4400H may be referred to as a second portion 4400H of the side cover 4400.

In other word, the first portion 4400V comprises a first area FAR between the first end portion 4403 and the second portion 4400H and a second area SAR between the second end portion 4404 and the second portion 4400H. And, an end of the back cover 130 positioned at the second area SAR. In this instance, the back light unit and the panel 100 is positioned at a portion adjacent to the first area FAR.

And, as shown in FIG. 52, the side wall 4400V of the side cover 4400 may extended in the third direction DRZ.

As shown in FIG. 51, the side cover 4400 may include a portion extending further than the front substrate 101 by a predetermined distance TD1 in the front direction of the front substrate 101. In other words, the side cover 4400 may include a portion protruding further than the front substrate 101 in the front of the display panel 100. Even in this case, the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 may be exposed.

As above, when the side cover 4400 protrudes further than the front substrate 101, the side cover 4400 may protect more efficiently the front substrate 101.

Referring to FIG. 53, the side cover 4400 and the back cover 130 may be used even when the film joining portion SFJ is used to fix the supporting film SFM. In this case, although not shown, the film joining portion SFJ may be connected to the back cover 130 and/or the side cover 4400, or the supporting film SFM may be connected to the side cover 4400 and/or the back cover 130.

Meanwhile, a vertical part 4400V (side wall or first portion) of the side cover 4400 may include a portion having different widths.

For example, as shown in FIG. 54, the vertical part 4400V of the side cover 4400 may include a portion having a gradually decreasing width as it goes to the rear of the display panel 100.

More specifically, in the vertical part 4400V of the side cover 4400, a width TS2 of a portion extending further than the front substrate 101 to the front of the front substrate 101 may be less than a width TS1 of a portion extending further than the back substrate 111 to the rear of the back substrate 111. In other words, in the vertical part 4400V of the side cover 4400, the width TS2 of the portion protruding further than the front substrate 101 to the front of the front substrate 101 by a predetermined distance TD1 may be less than the width TS1 of the portion protruding further than the back substrate 111 to the rear of the back substrate 111 by a predetermined distance TD3.

In this instance, a visual effect, in which the viewer in the front of the display panel 100 may feel that the size of the edge of the display panel 100 is less than the real size of the edge of the display panel 100, may be obtained. Further, the strength of the side cover 4400 may be further improved.

As shown in FIG. 57, a first black layer BKT1 may be formed on the inner surface of the side cover 4400. The first black layer BKT1 may be formed of a black tape or a black paint. In this instance, the first black layer BKT1 may further prevent light from leaking in the space between the display panel 100 and the side cover 400.

As shown in FIG. 58, a protective layer 4500 may be formed on the side of the display panel 100. The protective layer 4500 may protect the side of the front substrate 101 and the side of the back substrate 111 from an external pressure and an impact.

The protective layer 4500 may contain a substantially transparent material. Further, the protective layer 4500 may contain a photocurable material cured by light such as ultraviolet rays.

As shown in FIG. 59, a blocking member 1500 may be positioned at an edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101. Preferably, the blocking member 1500 may be attached to the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101. Because the blocking member 1500 hides the dummy area of the display panel 100, the image displayed on a screen area (i.e., the active area) may be more prominently showed.

The blocking member 1500 may have lightness lower than ambient lightness. For example, the lightness of the blocking member 1500 may be lower than lightness of the display panel 100. For this, the blocking member 1500 may be substantially black. For example, the blocking member 1500 may be substantially a black tape and may be formed by attaching a black tape to the front surface of the front substrate 101. Thus, the blocking member 1500 may be referred to as a black layer.

Because the blocking member 1500 is positioned on the front surface of the front substrate 101 and the edge of the front surface of the front substrate 101 is exposed, almost the entire portion of the blocking member 1500 may be exposed as shown in FIG. 60. In other words, when the observer in the front of the display panel 100 views the display panel 100, the observer may view almost the entire portion of the blocking member 1500. Namely, almost the entire portion of the blocking member 1500 may be observed.

Because the bracket 140AT does not display the image, it may be preferable that the bracket 140AT is positioned in the dummy area outside the screen area. Further, it may be preferable that the bracket 140AT is hidden by the blocking member 1500. Hence, as shown in FIG. 59, the blocking member 1500 may overlap the bracket 140AT. Preferably, the bracket 140AT may entirely overlap the blocking member 1500. More preferably, width W10 of the blocking member 1500 may be greater than width W11 of the bracket 140AT.

The width W10 of the blocking member 1500 and the width W11 of the bracket 140 area width in a cross section of the display panel 100.

As shown in FIG. 61, the front polarizing film 3400 may be positioned on the front surface of the front substrate 101 of the display panel 100, and the back polarizing film 3410 may be positioned on the back surface of the back substrate 111.

A width L10 of the front polarizing film 3400 positioned on the front substrate 101 may be different from a width L11 of the back polarizing film 3410 positioned on the back substrate 111. The width L10 of the front polarizing film 3400 and the width L11 of the back polarizing film 3410 are a width in the cross section of the display panel 100.

Preferably, the width L10 of the front polarizing film 3400 may be greater than the width LH of the back polarizing film 3410. In other words, an end of at least one side of the front polarizing film 3400 may extend further than the back polarizing film 3410.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 61, the front polarizing film 3400 may include a portion overlapping the bracket 140AT. The bracket 140AT may be separated from the back polarizing film 3410 by a predetermined distance L20 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the back substrate 111.

Further, the front polarizing film 3400 may be separated from an end of the front surface of the front substrate 101 by a predetermined distance d12. In this instance, a process for attaching the front polarizing film 3400 to the front substrate 101 may be easily performed, and the production yield may be improved.

As shown in FIG. 63, the blocking member 1500 may overlap the front polarizing film 3400. For example, the blocking member 1500 may include a portion positioned on the front polarizing film 3400.

Further, the front polarizing film 3400 may include a portion Y1 extending further than the blocking member 1500 in a direction away from the middle of the display panel 100. FIG. 63 shows that the blocking member 1500 is positioned on the front polarizing film 3400. However, the blocking member 1500 may be positioned between the front polarizing film 3400 and the front substrate 101. Even in this case, the front polarizing film 3400 may include the portion Y1 extending further than the blocking member 1500 in the direction away from the middle of the display panel 100.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 64, the blocking member 1500 may include a portion Y2 extending further than the front polarizing film 3400 in the direction away from the middle of the display panel 100. In this case, the blocking member 1500 may contact both the front polarizing film 3400 and the front substrate 101.

FIG. 64 shows that the blocking member 1500 is positioned on the front polarizing film 3400. However, the blocking member 1500 may be positioned between the front polarizing film 3400 and the front substrate 101. Even in this case, the blocking member 1500 may include the portion Y2 extending further than the front polarizing film 3400 in the direction away from the middle of the display panel 100.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 65, the blocking member 1500 and the front polarizing film 3400 may be formed on the same layer level. In this instance, the blocking member 1500 may be positioned outside the front polarizing film 3400.

Referring to FIG. 66, the supporting film SFM may include a first supporting film SFM1 including a portion attached to the back substrate 111 and a second supporting film SFM2 including a portion attached to the front substrate 101. Also, the first supporting film SFM1 and the second supporting film SFM2 may be connected to each other. In this case, structures disposed in a space provided by the supporting film SFM can be supported more effectively. The first supporting film sFM1 may correspond to the back polarizing film, and the second supporting film SFM2 may correspond to the front polarizing film.

Referring to FIG. 67, the supporting film SFM may include a first supporting film SFM1 and a second supporting film SFM2, each including a portion attached to the back substrate 111. For example, the second supporting film SFM2 may include a portion attached to the dummy area DA of the back substrate 111, and the first supporting film SFM1 may include a portion attached to the second supporting film SFM2 and a portion attached to the active area AA of the back substrate 111. In this case, too, the strength of the supporting film SFM can be increased.

Moreover, the light transmittance of the first supporting film SFM1 may be preferably higher than the light transmittance of the second supporting film SFM2.

Further, the first supporting film SFM1 and the second supporting film SFM2 may be connected to each other.

On the contrary, the broadcasting signal receiver 100Q may be designed so that it includes the network interface 130Q and does not include the tuner 110Q and the demodulator 120Q.

The tuner 110Q tunes a radio frequency (RF) broadcasting signal, which corresponds to a channel selected by the user or all of previously stored channels, among RF broadcasting signals received through an antenna. Further, the tuner 110Q converts the tuned RF broadcasting signal into a middle frequency signal, a base band image signal, or a voice signal.

The demodulator 120Q receives a digital IF signal converted by the tuner 110Q and performs a demodulating operation.

A stream signal output by the demodulator 120Q may be input to the controller 170Q. The controller 170Q performs demultiplexing, image/voice signal processing, etc. Then, the controller 170Q outputs an image to the display unit 180Q and outputs a voice to the audio output unit 185Q.
