Abstract

A display apparatus with decreased thickness for displaying images includes a frame, a display panel received in the frame, a circuit module, and at least one fixing portion. The display panel displays images. The circuit module is outside of the frame, and provides signals and voltages to the display panel for driving the display module to display the images. The at least one fixing portion is used for fixing the circuit module on a surface of the frame away from the display panel. The circuit module is rotatably inserted into the at least one fixing portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display apparatus for displaying images, the display apparatus comprising:
a frame;
a display panel received in the frame, the display panel configured to display images;
a circuit module outside of the frame, the circuit module configured to provides signals and voltages to the display panel for driving the display panel to display the images; and
at least one fixing portion configured to fix the circuit module on a surface of the frame away from the display panel;
wherein the circuit module is rotatably inserted into the at least one fixing portion, the display apparatus further comprises two positioning portions; the display apparatus comprises two fixing portions corresponding to the positioning portions; the positioning portions are symmetrically located on a surface of the frame away from the display panel, and the positioning portion cooperates with the corresponding fixing portion to locate a position of the circuit module on the frame, the positioning portion defines a plurality of receiving portions; the fixing portion defines a plurality of through holes corresponding to the receiving portions; the through holes cooperate with the receiving portions to fix the fixing portion on the display module via screws.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuit module integrates a main board for providing signals to the display panel, a power board for providing voltages, and at least one loudspeaker together; the circuit module comprises a first cover and a second cover; the first cover and the second cover cooperate with each other to form a receiving space for receiving the main board, the power board, and the at least one loudspeaker.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the fixing portion comprises a main body; the first cover comprises two shafts corresponding to the fixing portions; the shafts are symmetrically mounted on opposite side surfaces of the first cover; the main body defines a pivot hole; the shaft is received in the pivot hole of the corresponding fixing portion.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein an axis of the shaft is perpendicular to the corresponding side surface of the first cover.

5. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the circuit module further comprise a flexible flat cable (FFC); the frame defines a first opening; the fixing portion defines a second opening facing the first opening; the shaft defines a gap; the second opening communicates with the gap; an end of the FFC is electrically connected to the main board, and an opposite end of the FFC orderly passes through the shaft, the gap, the second opening, and the first opening to electrically connect to the display module.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus further comprises a location mechanism above the circuit module; the location mechanism locates the display apparatus on an external structure.

7. A display apparatus for displaying images, the display apparatus comprising:
a display module configured to display images; and
a circuit mechanism outside of the display module, the circuit mechanism configured to provide signals and voltages to the display module for driving the display module to display the images;
wherein the circuit mechanism is rotatably fixed on the display module; the circuit mechanism integrates a main board for providing signals, a power board for providing voltages, and at least one loudspeaker together, the display module comprises two positioning portions; the circuit mechanism further comprises two fixing portions corresponding to the positioning portions; the positioning portion cooperates with the corresponding fixing portion to locate a position of the circuit mechanism on the display module, the positioning portion defines a plurality of receiving portions; the fixing portion defines a plurality of through holes corresponding to the receiving portions; the through holes cooperate with the receiving portions to fix the fixing portion on the display module via screws.

8. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the circuit mechanism comprise a first cover and a second cover; the first cover and the second cover cooperate with each other to form a receiving space for receiving the main board, the power board, and the at least one loudspeaker.

9. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the fixing portion comprises a main body; the first cover comprises two shafts corresponding to the fixing portions; the shafts are symmetrically mounted on opposite side surfaces of the first cover; the main body defines a pivot hole; the shaft is received in the pivot hole of the corresponding to the fixing portion.

10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein an axis of the shaft is perpendicular to the corresponding side surface of the first cover.

11. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the circuit mechanism further comprise a flexible flat cable (FFC); the fixing portion defines a first opening facing the display module; the shaft defines a gap; the second opening communicates with the gap; an end of the FFC is electrically connected to the main board, and an opposite end of the FFC orderly passes through the shaft, the gap, and the second opening to electrically connect to the display module.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the display module comprises a frame and a display panel; the display panel is received in the frame; the circuit mechanism is hung on a surface of the frame away from the display panel; the positioning portion defines a second opening; the FFC passes through the second opening to electrically connect to the display panel.

13. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the display apparatus further comprises a location mechanism above the circuit mechanism; the location mechanism locates the display apparatus on an external structure.
