## Abstract

A display device including a display panel; a module cover configured to cover a back surface of the display panel; a first adhesive member adhered to an edge of a front surface of the module cover facing the display panel and configured to adhere the module cover and the display panel; and a second adhesive member adhered to an inner area of the module cover inside the edge of the front surface and configured to adhere the module cover and the display panel. In addition, the first adhesive member includes a first base layer; and a pair of acrylic adhesive layers located at opposite sides of the first base layer and respectively adhered to the display panel and the module cover. Further, the second adhesive member includes a second base layer; a urethane adhesive layer located at one side of the second base layer and adhered to the display panel; and an acrylic adhesive layer located at the other side of the second base layer, adhered to the module cover and having a greater adhesive strength than the urethane adhesive layer.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a display panel;
a module cover configured to cover a back surface of the display panel;
a first adhesive member adhered to an edge of a front surface of the module cover facing the display panel and configured to adhere the module cover and the display panel; and
a second adhesive member adhered to an inner area of the module cover inside the edge of the front surface and configured to adhere the module cover and the display panel,
wherein the first adhesive member includes:
a first base layer; and
a pair of acrylic adhesive layers located at opposite sides of the first base layer and respectively adhered to the display panel and the module cover, and
wherein the second adhesive member includes:
a second base layer;
a urethane adhesive layer located at one side of the second base layer and adhered to the display panel; and
an acrylic adhesive layer located at another side of the second base layer, adhered to the module cover and having a greater adhesive strength than the urethane adhesive layer.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the first adhesive member further includes a first film between the first base layer and a first acrylic adhesive layer of the pair of acrylic adhesive layers adhered to the display panel, and includes a second film between the first base layer and a second acrylic adhesive layer of the pair of acrylic adhesive layers adhered to the module cover.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein a first interfacial adhesive strength between the first film and the first acrylic adhesive layer is greater than a second interfacial adhesive strength between the first acrylic adhesive layer and the display panel.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)
