Display device including cover with aperture in side wall thereof

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel which displays an image;
• an upper container in which the display panel is disposed, including:
• a cover portion which covers top edges of the display panel,
• a side wall which extends from the cover portion to cover a side of the display panel;
• an aperture defined in the side wall of the upper container;
• and
• a protruding portion which protrudes from an inner side of the side wall in which the aperture is defined,
• wherein the protruding portion protrudes from an inner side surface of the side wall in which the apertures are defined towards the display panel, and
• wherein the protruding portion is defined by a bent portion of the side wall in which the apertures are defined.

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel which displays an image;
• an upper container in which the display panel is disposed, including:
• a cover portion which covers top edges of the display panel, and
• a side wall which extends from the cover portion to cover a side of the display panel;
• a space formed between the display panel and the side wall of the upper container;
• an aperture defined in the side wall of the upper container, the aperture exposing the space to outside the display device at the side wall of the upper container;
• a gap formed between an upper surface of the display panel and the cover portion which covers top edges of the display panel, the gap exposing the space to outside the display device at the cover portion;
• and
• a driving circuit unit attached to the display panel at a side thereof corresponding to the side wall in which the aperture defined,
• wherein
• the driving circuit unit attached to the display panel extends from the display panel to be disposed along an inner side of the side wall of the upper container, the driving circuit unit extended along the inner side of the side wall contacting the inner side of the side wall of the upper container to define a contact portion thereof,
• the aperture is defined in the side wall of the upper container at a location between the contact portion and the cover portion of the upper container,
• the space formed between the display panel and the inner side of the side wall of the upper container is divided by the driving circuit unit, into:
• a first region formed between the driving circuit unit, and each of the cover portion and the side wall of the upper container, and
• a second region formed between the driving circuit unit and the display panel,
• the gap and the first region of the space are spatially connected directly to each other to expose the first region to outside the display device at the cover portion, and
• the first region of the space and the aperture are spatially connected directly to each other to expose the first region to outside the display device at the side wall of the upper container.
