Abstract

The present invention relates to a display assembly comprising: a cover provided with a curved surface formed so as to be bent; a display arranged on the curved surface; an adhesive layer arranged between the cover and the display; and a wall structure which is arranged on the cover and of which one surface is brought into contact with the curved surface and the other surface is brought into contact with a side surface of the adhesive layer, so as to be extendedly formed along the side surface of the adhesive layer.

First claim

1 . A display assembly comprising:
a cover comprising a curved surface; a display disposed on the curved surface; an adhesive layer disposed between the cover and the display; and a wall structure disposed on the cover and extending along a side surface of the adhesive layer, wherein a first surface of the wall structure is in contact with the curved surface and a second surface of the wall structure is in contact with the side surface of the adhesive layer.

2 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wall structure comprises:
an inner wall comprising one surface in contact with the side surface of the adhesive layer; and an outer wall disposed between the inner wall and an edge of the cover.

3 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the curved surface is bent in a first direction; and the wall structure comprises a pair of side wall structures facing each other and arranged in the first direction that the curved surface is bent in.

4 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wall structure has an upper end disposed between a top surface and a bottom surface of the display.

5 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wall structure comprises a protrusion protruding from a surface of the wall structure and extending in a direction in which the wall structure extends, the surface of the wall structure being in contact with the adhesive layer toward a center of the adhesive layer.

6 . The display assembly of claim 5 , wherein the protrusion is spaced apart from one end of the wall structure in a direction toward a center of the wall structure.

7 . The display assembly of claim 1 , further configuring:
a defoaming passage penetrating through a first surface of the wall structure, which is in contact with the adhesive layer, and a second surface of the wall structure that is on a face of the wall structure opposite to the first surface of the wall structure, wherein the defoaming passage has a shape bent at least once.

8 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cover has at least one surface formed to be curved or flat, and
wherein a plurality of displays is arranged on the at least one surface.

9 . A display assembly comprising:
a cover having a curved surface; a display disposed on the curved surface; an adhesive layer configured to attach the display onto the cover, the adhesive layer being formed by curing a liquid adhesive material; and a wall structure disposed on the cover between a surface on which the display is disposed and an edge of the cover to form a space in which the liquid adhesive material is accommodated.

10 . The display assembly of claim 9 , wherein the wall structure is configured to accommodate the liquid adhesive material flowing over a portion of the wall structure.

11 . The display assembly of claim 9 , wherein the wall structure is spaced apart from a side surface of the display to provision discharge of air between the display and the cover during an attaching process of the display.

12 . The display assembly of claim 9 , wherein:
the wall structure comprises a protrusion protruding toward a center of the cover; and the protrusion enables the liquid adhesive material to flow on the cover during an attaching process of the display.

13 . The display assembly of claim 12 , wherein the protrusion has an upper end spaced apart from a lower surface of the display to provision discharge of air between the display and the cover during the attaching process of the display.

14 . A vehicle comprising the display assembly of claim 1 .

15 . A vehicle comprising the display assembly of claim 9 .
