Abstract
Disclosed are a curved cover for curved display and a curved type display apparatus including the same in which the curved type display apparatus includes a curved part that includes a front part covering one edge of a display panel having a curved shape, and the front part includes a curved part having a curved shape and a bending part provided at each of both edges of the curved part.
Claims11
A curved type display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel having a curved shape;
- a guide frame configured to support a rear edge of the display panel;
- a panel coupling member configured to couple the rear edge of the display panel to the guide frame;
- a supporting pad between the guide frame and the panel coupling member, the supporting pad configured to support a middle part between corners of the display panel, wherein the supporting pad overlaps both the guide frame and the panel coupling member at the middle part, but does not overlap either the guide frame or the panel coupling member at the corners of the display panel;
- an external case configured to accommodate the guide frame and surround side surfaces of the guide frame and the display panel;
- wherein the display panel comprises first and second edge parts disposed in parallel to cover the supporting pad,
- a corner of each of the first and second edge parts overlaps the panel coupling member, and a middle part of each of the first and second edge parts overlaps the panel coupling member and the supporting pad;
- a panel driving circuit coupled to a third edge part of the display panel;
- and
- a curved cover configured to cover the third edge part and the panel driving circuit,
- wherein the curved cover comprises:
- a front part configured to cover an upper portion of the third edge part, the front part having a curved shape which corresponds to a shape of the display panel;
- and
- a side wall part bent from the front part to be coupled to one side of the guide frame, and covered by the external case,
- wherein the front part comprises:
- a middle part having a curved shape having a first curvature;
- one edge having a curved shape having a second curvature different from the first curvature;
- and
- another edge having a curved shape having the second curvature.
