Abstract

A display device includes a case, a display panel received in the case and a lateral cover coupled to the case. The case includes a main body, an extension body extending from the main body and a frame extending from the main body. The main body and the extension body cooperatively define an opening between the main body and the extension body. The display panel is received between the main body and the frame via the opening. The display panel has a periphery surrounded by the main body and the frame. The lateral cover covers the opening and is coupled to the main body and the extension body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display device comprising:
a case comprising a main body, an extension body extending from the main body and a frame extending from the main body, the main body and the extension body cooperatively defining an opening between the main body and the extension body; a display panel received between the main body and the frame via the opening, the display panel having a periphery being surrounded by the main body and the frame; and a lateral cover covering the opening and coupled to the main body and the extension body.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a base, first sidewall, a second sidewall and a third sidewall extending from edges of the base.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the third sidewall are perpendicular to the base.

4 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the base further comprises a free edge opposite to the third sidewall, two flanges extending the base adjacent to and extending along the free edge, the two flanges cooperatively defining a latch groove therebetween.

5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the base defines a cutout adjacent to the first sidewall, the free edge being in a zigzag configuration.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein the extension body comprises a first extension arm extending from the first sidewall, a second extension arm extending from the second sidewall and a coupling part connecting the first extension arm and the second extension arm, the coupling part being opposite to the free edge.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein the opening is surrounded by the free edge, the first extension arm, the second extension arm and the coupling part, the cutout being a portion of the opening.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the frame extends from edges of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the third sidewall, the first extension arm, and the second extension arm toward a center of the main body.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the display panel has three side portions each located between the frame and the base, another side portion coupled to the connecting part.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the three side portion of the display panel are surrounded by the frame, the base, the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the third sidewall.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the lateral cover comprises a main portion and extension portion, the extension portion extending a first convex coupled in the cutout of the base.

12 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the main portion of the lateral cover extends a plurality of poles received in corresponding through apertures defined in the base in the latch groove.

13 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the main portion of the lateral cover extends a first coupling wall, a second coupling wall, a third coupling wall and a fourth coupling wall, the first coupling wall coupling the coupling part, the second coupling wall coupling the second extension arm, the third coupling wall coupling the first extension arm, and the fourth coupling wall being received in the latch groove of the main body of the cover.

14 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the coupling part defines a receiving groove, the first coupling wall having a free end received in the receiving groove.

15 . A display device comprising:
a case comprising a main body, an extension body integrally extending from the main body and a frame integrally extending from the main body, the main body and the extension body cooperatively defining an opening between the main body and the extension body; a display panel received between the main body and the frame via the opening, the display panel having a periphery being surrounded by the main body and the frame; and a lateral cover covering the opening and coupled to the main body and the extension body.

16 . The display device of claim 15 , wherein the main body defines a plurality of through apertures, the lateral cover extending a plurality of poles received in corresponding through apertures.

17 . The display device of claim 16 , wherein the extension body includes a coupling part opposite to the main body, the coupling part defining a receiving groove, the lateral cover extending a coupling wall coupled in the receiving groove.

18 . The display device of claim 15 , the opening is L-shaped.

19 . The display device of claim 18 , the lateral cover is L-shaped.
