[0042] Hereinbelow, a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the appearance of a display device according one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the display device from which a housing is removed, FIGS. 3 and 4 are exploded perspective views illustrating an internal structure of the display device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 are a perspective view and cross-sectional views illustrating a main part of a coupling unit of the display device according to one embodiment of the present invention. With reference to FIGS. 1 through 7, a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention generally includes a display panel 10, a frame assembly, and a coupling unit.

[0044] The display panel 10 presents various kinds of information or advertisements provided in the form of video clips sent from a main device or through a network. The display panel 10 includes a control substrate 11 that is combined with a first frame accommodated in a housing H and controls display of images.

[0045] The display panel 10 and the control substrate 11 are connected to each other via a cable (not shown) that is generally used for connection of various kinds of electronic devices. The control substrate 11 is connected to a storage medium (for example, hard disk) or a network and causes the display panel 10 to display various kinds of images or video clips sent from the storage medium or through the network.

[0046] The display panel 10 may be a display panel using liquid crystals (LCs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The control substrate 11 may be a printed circuit board (PCB) on which various kinds of devices or chips for control of image output are mounted.

[0047] An upper portion of the control substrate 11 is provided with a terminal block 12 for connection to connectors of various kinds of cables. The terminal block 12 may include: a LAN port for connection to a network (for example, Internet); USB ports for connection to a keyboard, a mouse, a USB memory device, and so on; an HDMI port for transmission and reception of image signals; data input and output ports for input and output of data, and various kinds of cable connection ports.

[0048] The display panel 10 may further include a screen protector 10a that is arranged on the front surface thereof to protect a panel surface. The screen protector 10a may be a transparent glass or thin film.

[0049] The housing H is a pouch-type member having a front opening (not denoted by a reference number) and an upper opening H1. As described below, since an upper end portion of the display panel 10 is inclined forward, a side surface of the housing H has a reversed triangle shape. The coupling unit including a bracket 100 is installed in the upper opening H1 so that the display device can be coupled to a lower end of an upper fixed structure in an installation place where the display device is to be installed.

[0050] Accordingly, when the housing H is coupled to the lower end of the upper fixed structure via the coupling unit such that the rear surface of the housing H is perpendicular to the lower end of the upper fixed structure, an upper portion of the display panel 10 is naturally inclined forward. Thus, a direction of the display panel 10 on which images are displayed is within a user's viewing angle.

[0051] In addition, the frame assembly according to the present invention includes: a first frame 20 with a front surface to which the display panel 10 is mounted; a second frame 30 combined with a rear surface of the first frame 20 and spaced from the rear surface of the first frame 20 by a predetermined distance; a third frame 40 and a fourth frame 50 that couple the control substrate 11 to the rear surface of the second frame 30 such that the control substrate 11 is inclined with respect to the rear surface of the second frame 30; and a fifth frame 60 combined with the rear surface of the second frame 30 and the coupling unit that is used to couple the display device to the lower end of the upper fixed structure in the installation place where the display device is to be installed.

[0052] The first frame 20 includes a body 21, a support portion 22, and a base portion 23. The body 21 has a flat panel shape and is provided with a first opening 24, which is a through hole-type opening, in a center portion thereof. The support portion 22 is a bent portion that extends rearward from respective sides of the body 21. The base portion 23 is a bent portion that extends inward from a lower end of the support portion 22.

[0053] The second frame 30 is combined with a rear surface of the base portion 23. Therefore, when the first frame 20 and the second frame 30 are combined with each other, they are spaced from each other by a distance corresponding to the width of the support portion 22 in terms of a front-and-rear direction.

[0054] Therefore, an air circulation channel is formed through the first opening 24 of the first frame 20, a second opening 31 of the second frame 30 described below, and a gap between the first frame 20 and the second frame 30. For this reason, heat generated by the display panel 10 can be dissipated.

[0055] The base portion 23 and the second frame 30 are combined by a bolt and a fixing member (for example, nut and washer (locking device)).

[0056] To this end, the base portion 23 is provided with a plurality of first insertion holes 27, into which threaded portions of bolts can be inserted, arranged in a longitudinal direction thereof. The second frame 30 has second insertion holes 37 corresponding to the first insertion holes 27.

[0057] The first insertion holes 27 of the base portion 23 are covered by the body 21. Therefore, in order to tighten or loosen the fixing member, the body 21 is provided with a plurality of tool insertion holes 25 formed to correspond to the first insertion holes 27 so that a tool can be inserted through the tool insertion holes 25 to tighten or loosen the fixing member.

[0058] The base portion 23 has a thin plate shape. Therefore, clinching nuts (not shown) are inserted in the second insertion holes 37 so that bolts can be maintained in the second insertion holes 37. In this case, the tool insertion holes 25 serve as an auxiliary air-venting means.

[0059] Reference numbers 28 and 29 denote flanges connected to and bent rearward from an upper end and a lower end of the body 21. Reference number 26 denotes a cable passage hole for a cable (not shown) by which the display panel 10 and the control substrate 11 are connected to each other.

[0060] The second frame 30 has a flat panel shape corresponding to that of the first frame 20. That is, the second frame 30 has a second opening 31, which is a through hole-type opening, in a center portion thereof such that the second opening 31 corresponds to the first opening 24 of the first frame. The second frame 30 includes flanges 32 and 33 bent forward from an upper end and a lower end of the second frame 30.

[0061] The second opening 31 communicates with the first opening 24 and a gap between the first frame 20 and the second frame 30, thereby forming an air circulation channel. For this reason, heat generated by the display panel 10 can be easily dissipated and thus the display panel 10 can be cooled down.

[0062] An upper flange 32 of the second frame 30 is exposed through the upper opening H1 of the housing H. The upper flange 32 of the second frame 30 and the fifth frame 60 described below serve as upper walls of the display device.

[0063] Reference number 34 denotes a threaded hole through which a bolt is inserted to combine the second frame 30 and the housing H with each other. Reference number 35 is a support member. The support member 35 and the base portion 23 create and maintain a gap between the first frame 20 and the second frame 30 when the first 20 and the second frame 30 are combined with each other. Reference number 36 is a cut-away hole formed by cutting away a portion of the second frame 30 to form a cable fixing portion (not denoted by any reference number) for a cable (not shown) that connects the control substrate 11 installed behind the second frame 30 to a button of a power supply provided to the side surface of the housing H.

[0064] The second frame 30 is provided with a plurality of second insertion holes 37 at respective side edge portions thereof, so that the base portion 23 of the first frame 20 and the second frame 30 can be combined with each other by screwing bolts through the first insertion holes 27 of the base portion 23 of the first frame 20 and the second insertion holes 37 of the second frame 30.

[0065] The third and fourth frames 40 and 50 couple the control substrate 11 to the second frame 30 such that an upper portion of the control substrate 11 is inclined rearward with respect to the rear surface of the second frame 30.

[0066] The third frame 40 includes: a first third-frame connection portion 41 that is in surface contact with the rear surface of the second frame 30 and combined with an upper portion of the rear surface of the second frame (the upper portion being above the second opening 31); a second third-frame connection portion 42 that is bent rearward from a lower end of the first third-frame connection portion 41 and extends rearward by a predetermined width; and a third third-frame connection portion 43 that is bent downward from a rear end portion of the second third-frame connection portion 42 and is combined with an upper end portion of the rear surface of the control substrate 11 in a surface contact manner.

[0067] The fourth frame 50 includes: a first fourth-frame connection portion 51 that is in surface contact with the rear surface of the second frame 30 and combined with a lower portion of the rear surface of the second frame 30 (the lower portion being under the second opening 31); and a second fourth-frame connection portion 52 that is in surface contact with and combined with a lower end portion of the rear surface of the control substrate 11 and is bent rearward from upper ends of respective sides of the first fourth-frame connection portion 51 at a predetermined angle corresponding to the width of the second third-frame connection portion 42 in the front-and-rear direction.

[0068] Accordingly, the third frame 40 is wider than the fourth frame 50 in the front-and-rear direction due to the second third-frame connection portion 42. Therefore, when the display device is installed such that the control substrate 11 is vertically arranged, an upper portion of the display panel 10 is inclined forward.

[0069] That is, the first fourth-frame connection portion 51 combined to be in surface contact with the rear surface of the control substrate 11 having a flat panel shape, the second fourth-frame connection portion 52 of the fourth frame 50, and the third third-frame connection portion 43 bent from the rear end of the second third-frame connection portion 42 are arranged in line with each other.

[0070] The upper portion of the control substrate 11 is inclined rearward to be spaced from the rear surface of the display panel 10.

[0071] Therefore, when the second third-frame connection portion 42 is horizontally installed via the coupling unit described below, the upper portion of the display panel 10 naturally inclines forward. Therefore, a user can see the display panel 10 from a comfortable viewing direction.

[0072] Since the gap between the first frame 20 and the second frame 30 communicates with the first and second openings 24 and 31, an air circulation path can be formed and thus heat generated by the display panel 10 can be dissipated.

[0073] In addition, due to the reversed triangle-shaped structure of the frame assembly, the display panel 10 can be spaced from the control substrate 11. Therefore, the control substrate 11 is not affected by heat generated by the display panel 10.

[0074] In this case, each combination of the first third-frame connection portion 41 and the second frame 30, the third third-frame connection portion 43 and the control substrate 11, the first fourth-frame connection portion 51 and the second frame 30, and the second fourth-frame connection portion 52 and the control substrate 11 is preferably combined by a bolt, or may alternatively be combined by other known coupling means (for example, rivet).

[0075] The second third-frame connection portion 42 is provided with a terminal exposing hole (not denoted by any reference number) through which the terminal block 12 of the control substrate 11 is exposed.

[0076] The fifth frame 60 is exposed through the upper opening H1 of the housing H. Thus, the fifth frame 60 and the upper flange 28 serve as the upper wall of the frame assembly. The fifth frame 60 includes: a first fifth-frame connection portion 61 combined with the first frame 20; and a second fifth-frame connection portion 62 bent rearward from an upper end portion of the first fifth-frame connection portion 61.

[0077] Reference number 63 denotes a connector passage hole through which connectors of various cables can be inserted to be connected to the terminal block 12 of the control substrate 11. Reference number 64 denotes a connector passage hole through which a power supply cable can be inserted to be connected to the control substrate 11.

[0078] The display device according to the present invention further includes a cap member (not shown) that is combined with an upper surface of the second third-frame connection portion 42 to protect the terminal block 12 of the control substrate 11.

[0079] The cap member is a C-shaped member that is open in the front, upper, and lower sides thereof. Flanges are provided to lower ends of respective sides of the cap member and thus the cap member can be combined with the third frame 40 by bolts.

[0080] A front portion of the terminal block 12 exposed through the terminal exposing hole of the third frame 40 is covered by the second frame 30 but respective side portions and a rear portion of the terminal block 12 are still exposed. In this case, the cap member is provided to prevent foreign matter or contaminants from adhering to an exposed portion of the terminal block 12.

[0081] Next, the coupling unit provided to the second fifth-frame connection portion 62 of the fifth frame 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0082] The coupling unit is an element used to couple the display device to a lower end of an upper fixed structure in an installation place in which the display device is to be installed.

[0083] The coupling unit is combined with the upper surface of the fifth frame 60 (more specifically, the upper surface of the second fifth-frame connection portion 62) by bolts. The coupling unit includes a coupling member 90 having a plurality of hooked portions 91 protruding upward, and a bracket 100 fixed to the upper fixed structure in the installation place and provided with a plurality of engagement holes 103 through which the hooked portions 91 of the coupling member 90 are inserted to be engaged with the bracket 100.

[0084] The coupling member 90 includes front and rear wall portions 94 and a side wall portion 95 arranged at first ends of the front and rear wall portions 94.

[0085] The hooked portions 91 are formed to protrude from the upper surfaces of the front and rear wall portions 94. The hooked portions 91 are arranged at regular intervals in a longitudinal direction of the front and rear wall portions 94.

[0086] In this case, since the second fifth-frame connection portion 62 of the fifth frame 60 has a thin plate shape, a bolt 65 is preferably inserted into a clinching nut (also, called pem nut) buried in the second fifth-frame connection portion 62.

[0087] The hooked portion 91 has an inclined surface 92 that is sloped down from an upper end thereof toward the upper surface of the front or rear wall portion 94. There are bay portions 93 defined by the inclined surfaces 92 of the hooked portions 91 and the upper surfaces of the front and rear wall portions 94. The bottom portion of the bracket 100 is inserted into and locked in the bay portions 93.

[0088] The hooked portions 91 may be bent such that tip portions thereof face the opposite side of the side wall portion 95, so that the coupling force between the coupling member 90 and the bracket 100 can be increased.

[0089] An innermost portion of the bay portion 93 is formed such that at least a portion of the front or rear wall portion 94 is obliquely recessed at a predetermined angle. Therefore, the bottom portion of the bracket 100 has to be forcedly fitted into the innermost portion of the bay portion 93 due to the obliquely recessed structure when the bracket 100 and the coupling member 90 are combined with each other. For this reason, the bracket 100 and the coupling member 90 are securely combined with each other.

[0090] The bracket 100 includes walls standing on a left, right, front, and rear edge of the bottom portion thereof. The bottom portion of the bracket 100 is provided with a plurality of engagement holes 103 arranged at regular intervals in a longitudinal direction thereof. The engagement holes 103 are formed so that the hooked portions 91 can be inserted through the engagement holes 103.

[0091] When installing the display device in a certain place, the hooked portions 91 of the coupling member 90 are inserted through the engagement holes 103 of the bracket 100 fixed to an upper fixed structure installed in the place. Then, the display device is pushed in the opposite direction of the side wall portion 95 of the coupling member 90, and thus the bottom portion of the bracket 100 is inserted into and locked in the bay portions. Thus, the display device can be easily coupled to the upper fixed structure in the installation place.

[0092] Conversely, when uninstalling the display device, the display device is pushed toward the side wall portion 95 of the coupling member 90 and the hooked portions 91 are pulled out through the engagement holes 103. Thus, the display device can be easily decoupled from the bracket 100 (or the upper fixed structure).

[0093] Each of the bottom portions of the coupling member 90 and the bracket 100 is provided with a connector passage hole corresponding to the connector passage hole 63 of the fifth frame 60, so that connectors of various cables can be connected to the terminal block 12 of the control substrate 11 through the connector passage hole.

[0094] The coupling unit further includes a pressing member 110 that is combined with the side wall portion 95 of the coupling member 90 and which extends through a hole formed in any one wall (herein, first wall 101a) of walls 101 of the bracket 100, which is in contact with the side wall portion 95 of the coupling member 90. The pressing member 110 puts pressing force so that the side wall portion 95 and the first wall 101a become in tighter pressure contact with each other, so that secure coupling between the hooked portions 91 and the engagement holes 103 can be maintained.

[0095] The pressing member 110 includes a knob portion 111. A user can rotate the pressing member 110 in either direction by holding and rotating the knob portion 111. According to a first embodiment of the pressing member 110, the pressing member 110 extends through a fixation hole 96 formed in the side wall portion 95 and a fitting hole 102 formed in the first wall 101a, and is fixed to a fixing member 112 (for example, nut or washer) arranged inside the first wall 101a.

[0096] When the hooked portion 91 is bent toward the opposite side of the side wall portion 95, when the pressing member 110 is tightened, the gap between the side wall portion 95 and the first wall 101a is decreased. As a result, the bottom portion of the bracket 110 is forcedly inserted into the bay portion 93 so that the coupling member 90 and the bracket 100 can be strongly combined with each other.

[0097] Conversely, when the pressing member 110 is loosened from the fixing member 112, the pressing force applied to the side wall portion 95 and the first wall 101a is eliminated and thus the coupling member 90 can be easily pulled out from the bracket 110 in a slidable manner. Therefore, the display device can be easily separated from the bracket.

[0098] At this point, since the pressing member 110 is not exposed through the upper opening H1 of the housing H, an upper portion of one side of the housing H is provided with a tool insertion hole H2 so that the pressing member 110 can be tightened or loosened by inserting a tool through the tool insertion hole H2.

[0099] Since the fixing member 112 is arranged inside the bracket 100, when the pressing member 110 is rotated in a state in which the fixing member 112 is not fixed, there is a problem that both the pressing member 110 and the fixed portion 112 are rotated together.

[0100] For this reason, a second embodiment of the pressing member 110 shown in FIG. 7 may be used. With the use of the pressing member 110 according to the second embodiment, the coupling member 90 and the bracket 100 can be easily assembled with and disassembled from each other.

[0101] Specifically, the pressing member 110 may include a core member 110. The core member 110 has a hollow space that extends in a longitudinal direction thereof.

[0102] The core member 110 also has a plurality of wing portions 115 inserted in the hollow space, combined with an inner end portion of the hollow space by a hinge, and elastically supported to be folded outward.

[0103] The pressing member 110 further includes a coil spring 116 that presses the core member 113 outward. At this point, the wing portions 115 push the first wall 101a of the bracket 100 outward.

[0104] At an outer end portion of the core member 113 is provided with a pressing portion 114 that is combined with the pressing member 110. The pressing portion 114 can be driven to be expelled from and retreated into the hollow space.

[0105] The wing portion 115 is a latch-type member that can be rotated only in one direction. The hinge 115a that connects the wing portions 115 to the inner end portion of the hollow of the core member 113 is provided with an elastic member (not shown) that applies elastic force such that the wing portions 115 can be folded outward.

[0106] Since the wing portions 115 are forcedly folded outward by the elastic member, when the core member 113 is pushed to be expelled from the hollow by the coil spring 116, the wing portions 115 spread and thus press the first wall 101a of the bracket 100 toward the side wall portion 95 of the coupling member 90. Therefore, the hooked portions 91 and the engagement holes 103 can be securely engaged with each other.

[0107] Conversely, when the pressing portion 114 is pressed inward so that the core member 113 can be retreated into the hollow space, the contact pressure between the wing portions 115 and the first wall 101a is removed. Thus, the wing portions 115 are folded outward by the elastic force of the elastic member. At this point, when a user holds the knob portion 111 of the pressing member 110 and pulls the pressing member 110 outward, the wing portions 115 are separated while passing through the fitting hole 102 and the fixation hole 96. Therefore, the pressing force applied to the first wall 101a and the side wall portion 95 is removed, and thus the coupling member 90 and the bracket 100 can be easily separated from each other.
