## Abstract

A display apparatus according to one embodiment may include a display module for displaying an image, a metal plate disposed behind the display module, a cover member disposed in front of the display module, and an adhesive member disposed between the display module and the metal plate, in which the adhesive member may include a protective part attached to side surfaces of the display module and having one end attached to the cover member.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display apparatus comprising:
a display module configured to display an image;
a metal plate disposed behind the display module;
a cover member disposed in front of the display module; and
an adhesive member disposed between the display module and the metal plate,
wherein the adhesive member includes a protective part attached to side surfaces of the display module, the protective part having an end attached to the cover member,
wherein the display module includes;
a back plate disposed in front of the adhesive member; and
a display panel disposed in front of the back plate and configured to display the image.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the protective part is bent from the side surfaces of the display module.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the adhesive member is made of an opaque material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The display apparatus of claim 2, further comprising an adhesive layer disposed between the cover member and the display module,
wherein the protective part is attached to side surfaces of the adhesive layer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display module includes a polarizer disposed between the display panel and the adhesive layer.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the adhesive member and the metal plate are one package coupled to the display module.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The display apparatus of claim 6, wherein the package includes a cutting part which has the adhesive member attached to the metal plate and is a cut portion formed on an end portion of the metal plate.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The display apparatus of claim 7, wherein the package includes an adhesive film that attaches the cutting part to the adhesive member.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The display apparatus of claim 8, wherein the cutting part is disposed at a location of the adhesive member corresponding to the protective part.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The display apparatus of claim 9, wherein, after the package is attached to the display module, the cutting part and the adhesive film are configured to be removed, and the protective part of the adhesive member is configured to be bent and attached to the side surfaces of the display module.

### Claim 11

A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, comprising:
providing a package including an adhesive member and a metal plate coupled to the adhesive member;
coupling the package to a display module;
removing an adhesive film that couples a cutting part of the metal plate to the adhesive member;
bending the protective part of the adhesive member; and
attaching the protective part to side surfaces of the display module.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the cutting part is disposed at a location of the adhesive member corresponding to the protective part, and
a width of the cutting part is greater than a width of the protective part.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the adhesive member includes an exposed area at a portion of the adhesive member that meets an edge of the metal plate in a front-rear direction of the display apparatus.

### Claim 14

A display apparatus comprising:
a display module configured to display an image;
a metal plate disposed behind the display module;
a printed circuit board disposed behind the metal plate;
a chip on film (COF) having a first side electrically connected to the display module and a second side electrically connected to the printed circuit board;
a cover member disposed in front of the display module; and
an adhesive member disposed between the display module and the metal plate,
wherein the adhesive member includes a protective part attached to side surfaces of the display module, the protective part having one end attached to the cover member.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The display apparatus of claim 14, wherein the protective part is bent from the side surfaces of the display module, and
the adhesive member is made of an opaque material.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The display apparatus of claim 14, wherein the adhesive member and the metal plate are one package,
the package includes:
a cutting part which has the adhesive member attached to the metal plate and is a cut portion formed on an end portion of the metal plate; and
an adhesive film that attaches the cutting part to the adhesive member, and
after the package is attached to the display module, the cutting part and the adhesive film are configured to be removed, and the protective part of the adhesive member is configured to be bent and attached to the side surfaces of the display module.
