Panel vibration type sound generating display device

An apparatus, comprising:

• a display panel configured to display an image;
• at least two sound generating actuators respectively disposed at different areas of the display panel and respectively configured to vibrate the different areas of the display panel to generate sound;
• and
• a support structure configured to support at least one of the sound generating actuators,
• wherein the support structure comprises a reinforcement member extending between two of the at least two sound generating actuators or extending through a space between two of the at least two sound generating actuators, and
• wherein the reinforcement member is configured to reduce sound distortion by different vibrations respectively generated in the different areas of the display panel.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a display panel configured to display an image;
• a sound generating actuator configured to vibrate the display panel to generate sound;
• an area division member at a rear side of the display panel and separating an area at the rear side of the display panel into a first area and a second area, the first area including a source printed circuit board (PCB), and the second area including the sound generating actuator;
• a support structure covering the rear side of the display panel, with an air gap between the display panel and the support structure in the second area;
• and
• a baffle part disposed at an edge of the second area between the support structure and the display panel to surround the air gap in the second area,
• wherein the display panel is configured to generate sound waves in the air gap in the second area when vibrated by the sound generating actuator, and
• wherein the baffle part surrounds the air gap to reduce leakage of the sound waves out of the air gap in the second area.
