Abstract

A display device, including a mold frame including a bottom portion and a plurality of bent portions, the bent portions being bent from sides of the bottom portion in a direction toward a first surface of the bottom portion to overlap the bottom portion; a display module on a first side of the mold frame; and a bracket on a second side of the mold frame and coupled to the mold frame, the mold frame further including a receiving space, the receiving space being defined by a first surface of the bottom portion and the bent portions for accommodating parts therein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display device, comprising:
a mold frame including a bottom portion and a plurality of bent portions, the bent portions being bent from sides of the bottom portion in a direction toward a first surface of the bottom portion to overlap the bottom portion; a display module on a first side of the mold frame; and a bracket on a second side of the mold frame and coupled to the mold frame, the mold frame further including a receiving space, the receiving space being defined by a first surface of the bottom portion and the bent portions for accommodating parts therein.

2 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a battery in the receiving space.

3 . The display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the battery is between, and in contact with, the mold frame and the bracket.

4 . The display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:
the bottom portion includes a reinforcing protrusion, the reinforcing protrusion protruding into the receiving space, and the battery is on the reinforcing protrusion.

5 . The display device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bottom portion further includes a reinforcing groove, the reinforcing groove being on a side of the bottom portion opposite the reinforcing protrusion and having a depth corresponding to a height of the reinforcing protrusion.

6 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the bottom portion has a rectangular shape with four sides, and each of the bent portions is bent from one of the four sides of the bottom portion.

7 . The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the mold frame further includes a plurality of non-bent portions, each of the non-bent portions being at a corner of the bottom portion and not overlapping the bent portions.

8 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the bent portions is bent at least twice by hemming.

9 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mold frame includes one or more of copper or stainless steel.

10 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion includes a receiving groove, the receiving groove being on a side of the bottom portion opposite the receiving space.

11 . The display device as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising a heat dissipation layer in the receiving groove.

12 . The display device as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a cushion layer covering the heat dissipation layer to shield the heat dissipation layer from an outside of the display device, the cushion layer being attached to the mold frame.

13 . The display device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the heat dissipation layer includes a graphite material.

14 . A display device, comprising:
a mold frame including a bottom portion and a plurality of bent portions, the bent portions being bent from sides of the bottom portion in a direction toward a first surface of the bottom portion to overlap the bottom portion; a display module on a first side of the mold frame; a cushion layer between the mold frame and the display module; a battery; and a bracket on a second side of the mold frame and coupled to the mold frame, the mold frame further including a receiving space, the receiving space being defined by the first surface of the bottom portion and the bent portions for accommodating parts therein, the battery being in the receiving space.

15 . The display device as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising a heat dissipation layer between the mold frame and the cushion layer.

16 . The display device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein:
the bottom portion has a rectangular shape with four sides, and each of the bent portions is bent from one of the four sides of the bottom portion.

17 . The display device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the mold frame further includes a plurality of non-bent portions, each of the non-bent portions being at a corner of the bottom portion and not overlapping the bent portions.

18 . The display device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the bottom portion includes a receiving groove, the receiving groove being on a side of the bottom portion opposite the receiving space.

19 . The display device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein:
the bottom portion includes a reinforcing protrusion, the reinforcing protrusion protruding into the receiving space, and the battery is on the reinforcing protrusion.

20 . The display device as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the bottom portion further includes a reinforcing groove, the reinforcing groove being on a side of the bottom portion opposite the reinforcing protrusion and having a depth corresponding to a height of the reinforcing protrusion.
