Abstract
An image display device includes a frame including posts partitioning the inside space defined by rectangular frame members in a grid, and a display unit including two or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on one surface of a substrate and a case accommodating the substrate and the LEDs. The case includes a bottom plate and an opening facing the bottom plate. The bottom plate faces the substrate, the opening exposes the LEDs, and a rear surface of the bottom plate is waterproofed. The display unit is accommodated in each of two or more compartments partitioned in a grid by the posts of the frame. A rear plate covers, from the rear surface of the bottom plate, the frame in which the display unit is accommodated, and a magnet is attached to a surface of the rear plate to attach/detach the rear plate to/from the frame.
Claims8
An image display device, comprising:
- a frame comprising a rectangular frame member and posts partitioning an inside space defined by the rectangular frame member into a matrix of spaces;
- display units to display an image, the display units being arranged in the corresponding spaces;
- a rear plate covering a rear surface of at least one display unit of the display units;
- and
- an attaching/detaching member attaching the rear plate to the frame in a detachable manner, wherein
- the rear plate comprises a first protrusion protruding from a lower side of the rear plate in a direction perpendicular to the rear plate,
- the frame comprises a support extending in a horizontal direction, and
- the rear plate is attached to the frame in a detachable manner with the attaching/detaching member with the first protrusion supported by the support of the frame, and
- the rear plate comprises a second protrusion protruding perpendicularly from the first protrusion,
- the frame comprises an engagement portion engaged with the second protrusion, and
- the rear plate is attached to the frame in a detachable manner with the attaching/detaching member with (i) the first protrusion supported by the support of the frame and (ii) the second protrusion engaged with the engagement portion.
An image display device comprising:
- a frame comprising a support extending in a horizontal direction and an engagement portion;
- a display unit to display an image, the display unit being arranged in the frame;
- a rear plate covering a rear surface of the display unit, the rear plate comprising a first protrusion protruding from a lower side of the rear plate in a perpendicular direction and a second protrusion protruding perpendicularly from the first protrusion;
- and an attaching/detaching member attaching the rear plate to the frame in a detachable manner, wherein the rear plate is attached to the frame in a detachable manner with the attaching/detaching member with (i) the first protrusion supported by the support of the frame and (ii) the second protrusion engaged with the engagement portion of the frame, the attaching/detaching member comprises a first magnet disposed on one of the frame and the rear plate, and a magnetic material or a second magnet disposed on another of the frame and the rear plate, the first and second magnets are fixed to the frame or the rear plate with an elastic member, and the elastic member is configured to stretch in a direction in which the first protrusion protrudes, and the elastic member is pressed toward the frame, thereby disengaging the second protrusion from the engagement portion.
