Abstract

Disclosed herein is a structure for a curved display device. The structure for a curved display device includes: a plurality of unit body parts each comprising a sheet bent into an arcuate shape; and at least one bent part through which adjacent ones of the unit body parts are connected.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A structure for a curved display device, comprising:
a plurality of unit body parts each comprising a sheet bent into an arcuate shape; and at least one bent part through which adjacent ones of the unit body parts are connected in a bent state.

2 . The structure for a curved display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the unit body parts include:
base parts connected to each other through respective ones of the at least one bent part; and
at least one extension part extending from the corresponding base part.

3 . The structure for a curved display device of claim 2 , wherein:
the unit body parts each have the same radius of curvature.

4 . The structure for a curved display device of claim 2 , wherein:
the unit body parts have different radii of curvature.

5 . The structure for a curved display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one bent part comprises more than one bent part, and the bent parts are formed at predetermined intervals.

6 . A method of manufacturing a frame for a curved display device, the method comprising:
receiving a structure for a curved display device, the structure comprising a plurality of unit body parts, and at least one bent part through which adjacent ones of the unit body parts are connected; bending the unit body parts so that each unit body part has an arcuate shape; and bonding two adjacent unit body parts to each other.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the unit body parts include:
base parts connected to each other through the bent part; and at least one extension part extending from the corresponding base part.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the unit body parts each have the same radius of curvature.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the unit body parts have different radii of curvature.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one bent part comprises more than one bent part, and the bent parts are formed at predetermined intervals.
