Abstract

A display device is provided. The display device of the present disclosure comprises: a display panel; a frame at which the display panel is installed; a cover assembly including a cover disposed in front of the display panel and movably coupled to the frame; and a lift assembly installed at the frame and moving the cover assembly, wherein the cover assembly comprises: a body having a front surface to which the cover is coupled; a bracket coupled to a rear surface of the body adjacent to one side of the body, and extending long in a direction in which the cover assembly moves; and a plate coupled to the rear surface of the body adjacent to the other side of the body, and extending long in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the bracket.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display device comprising:
a display panel; a frame at which the display panel is installed; a cover assembly including a cover disposed in front of the display panel and movably coupled to the frame; and a lift assembly installed at the frame and moving the cover assembly, wherein the lift assembly is disposed at a rear of the display panel, and wherein the cover assembly comprises: a bracket covering a lateral side of the display panel, and connecting the lift assembly and the bracket.

2 . A display device comprising:
a display panel; a frame at which the display panel is installed; a cover assembly including a cover disposed in front of the display panel and movably coupled to the frame; and a lift assembly installed at the frame and moving the cover assembly, wherein the cover assembly comprises: a body having a front surface to which the cover is coupled; a bracket coupled to a rear surface of the body adjacent to a first side of the body, and extending along in a direction in which the cover assembly moves; and a plate coupled to the rear surface of the body adjacent to a second side of the body, and extending along in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the bracket, wherein the bracket further comprises: a first part coupled to the rear surface of the body; a second part bent rearward from the first part; and a third part bent left or right from the second part to face the first part and coupled to the lift assembly, wherein the display panel is disposed between the first part and the third part.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a display unit including the display panel; a side frame covering a side surface of the second part; a rear frame bent from a rear end of the side frame toward the third part and covering a rear of the third part; and an end protruding from a front end of the side frame toward the second part, wherein the second part is disposed between the end and a first side of the display unit adjacent to the end.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein the rear frame further comprises a gap area overlapping a space between the first side of the display unit and the end,
wherein the gap area has a color different from a color of other areas of the rear frame or a colored tape is attached to a front surface of the gap area.

5 . The display device of claim 2 , further comprising a rail installed at the frame, disposed between the first part and the third part, and extending in the longitudinal direction of the bracket,
wherein the bracket further comprises a guide fixed to a front surface of the third part, coupled to the rail and movable along the rail.

6 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the body further comprises a bending part bent rearward from an end of the body to cover a side surface of the first part.

7 . A display device comprising:
a display panel; a frame at which the display panel is installed; a cover assembly including a cover disposed in front of the display panel and movably coupled to the frame; and a lift assembly installed at the frame and moving the cover assembly, wherein the cover assembly comprises: a body having a front surface to which the cover is coupled; a bracket coupled to a rear surface of the body adjacent to a first side of the body, and extending along in a direction in which the cover assembly moves; and a plate coupled to the rear surface of the body adjacent to a second side of the body, and extending along in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the bracket, wherein the bracket comprises: a first part coupled to the rear surface of the body; a second part bent rearward from the first part; and a third part bent left or right from the second part to face the first part and coupled to the lift assembly, wherein the display panel is disposed between the first part and the third part, wherein the bracket further comprises: a first bracket adjacent to a left side of the body, the first bracket comprising the first part, the second part and the third part; and a second bracket adjacent to a right side of the body, the second bracket comprising the first part, the second part and the third part, wherein the plate further comprises: a first plate adjacent to an upper side of the body; and, a second plate adjacent to a lower side of the body.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the first bracket extends long in a left-right direction, and is coupled to an upper portion of the first part of the first bracket and an upper portion of the first part of the second bracket,
wherein the second bracket extends long in the left-right direction, and is coupled to a lower portion of the first part of the first bracket and a lower portion of the first part of the second bracket.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the first bracket further comprises a first rib protruding forward by a certain length from a front surface of the first part of the first bracket,
wherein the second bracket further comprises a second rib protruding forward by a certain length from a front surface of the first part of the second bracket, wherein each of the first plate and the second plate is disposed between the first rib and the second rib.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first rib further comprises:
a first upper rib adjacent to an upper end of the first part of the first bracket; and a first lower rib adjacent to a lower end of the first part of the first bracket, wherein the second rib further comprises: a second upper rib adjacent to an upper end of the first part of the second bracket; and a second lower rib adjacent to a lower end of the first part of the second bracket, wherein the first plate is disposed between the first upper rib and the second upper rib, wherein the second plate is disposed between the first lower rib and the second lower rib.

11 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the plate comprises a metal material,
wherein the body comprises a plastic material.

12 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the body comprises a plurality of holes formed to penetrate the body and spaced apart from each other.
