Abstract

Disclosed herein is a display apparatus packing material. The display apparatus packing material includes a first area configured to cover a front surface of a display apparatus; a second area configured to cover sides of the display apparatus, and extending from edges of the first area; and a third area disposed between the first area and the second area such that the second area is bendable with respect to the first area, wherein the second area covers sides of the display apparatus when the second area is bent, and includes an adhesive member configured to be attached on the sides of the display apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display apparatus packing material comprising:
a first area configured to cover a front surface of a display apparatus;
a second area configured to cover four sides of the display apparatus, and extending from edges of the first area; and
a third area disposed between the first area and the second area such that the second area is bendable with respect to the first area,
wherein the second area covers sides of the display apparatus and fixed on the sides of the display apparatus when the second area is bent,
wherein the first area includes a protective sheet that is configured to protect the front surface of the display apparatus and extends to the second area,
wherein the second area includes a buffer member configured to protect the sides of the display apparatus and an adhesive member configured to be attached on the sides of the display apparatus,
wherein the protective sheet includes the adhesive member disposed on one surface of the protective sheet and the buffer member disposed on an opposite surface of the protective sheet,
wherein the protective sheet includes a front portion located in the first area and covering the front surface of the display apparatus, and a wing portion located in the second area and extending from four edges of the front portion to cover the sides of the display apparatus,
wherein the protective sheet includes the adhesive member disposed on one surface of the wing portion of the protective sheet such that the adhesive member is configured to be attached on the sides of the display apparatus when the wing portion is bent with respect to the front portion, and
wherein the buffer member includes ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA).

2. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 1 , wherein the first area further includes an auxiliary buffer member configured to protect the front surface of the display apparatus.

3. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 2 , wherein the auxiliary buffer member and the buffer member has a same thickness.

4. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 2 , wherein the auxiliary buffer member includes expanded polyethylene (EPE).

5. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 2 , wherein the auxiliary buffer member is formed of a material that is different from ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA).

6. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 1 , wherein the third area includes a guide line formed with a plurality of grooves arranged at intervals, and
wherein the third area is bendable along the guide line.

7. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 1 , wherein the protective sheet includes a guide line forming a border between the front portion and the wing portion with a plurality of guide grooves.

8. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer member and the adhesive member are disposed on an opposite surface of the wing portion.

9. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 1 , wherein the front portion has a shape of a rectangle, and the wing portion includes four wings extending from of the front portion, and
wherein the four wings do not contact each other.

10. The display apparatus packing material according to claim 1 , wherein the protective sheet includes Polyethylene phthalate (PET).
