Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel configured to display an image, a vibration generating device at a rear surface of the display panel to vibrate the display panel, and a supporting member at the rear surface of the display panel and including a first hole. The first hole may be disposed at a whole region or periphery of the vibration generating device.
Claims20
A display apparatus, comprising:
- a display panel configured to display an image;
- a vibration generating device at a rear surface of the display panel to vibrate the display panel;
- a supporting member at the rear surface of the display panel and including a first hole;
- a first partition between the rear surface of the display panel and the supporting member, the first partition surrounding an entirety of the vibration generating device;
- and
- a second partition between the vibration generating device and the first partition, the second partition surrounding an entirety of the vibration generating device,
- wherein the second partition is separate from and not connected to the first partition such that no part of the second partition is part of the first partition,
- wherein the first partition and the second partition are spaced apart from each other to define a gap space therebetween,
- wherein the first hole is disposed at an inner region of the second partition,
- wherein the vibration generating device includes a first surface connected to the display panel and a second surface opposite to the first surface,
- wherein the first hole faces the second surface of the vibration generating device and at least partly overlaps with the vibration generating device,
- wherein the first hole includes a plurality of holes,
- wherein the plurality of holes are arranged at a certain interval in regions of the supporting member, are overlapping with the vibration generating device, and are spaced from the vibration generating device in a direction perpendicular to the display panel, and
- wherein the vibration generating device includes:
- a piezoelectric composite layer including a plurality of inorganic material portions and a plurality of organic material portions which are alternately and repeatedly disposed on a same plane;
- a first electrode disposed at a first surface of the piezoelectric composite layer;
- and
- a second electrode disposed at a second surface of the piezoelectric composite layer, the second surface of the piezoelectric composite layer being opposite to the first surface of the piezoelectric composite layer.
