## Abstract

A display device includes a display component, a plastic frame, and a rear frame. The plastic frame supports the display component near an edge portion of the display component from a rear side of the display device relative to the display component. The rear frame is disposed on the rear side of the display device relative to the display component. The rear frame includes a fixing component that fixedly couples at least the plastic frame relative to the rear frame. The fixing component has an inner bent component that extends forward and inward of the display device from an edge part of the rear frame.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a display component;
a plastic frame supporting the display component near an edge portion of the display component from a rear side of the display device relative to the display component; and
a rear frame disposed on the rear side of the display device relative to the display component, the rear frame including a fixing component that fixedly couples at least the plastic frame relative to the rear frame, the fixing component having an inner bent component that extends forward and inward of the display device from an edge part of the rear frame.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the rear frame forms at least a part of a rear housing of the display device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device according to claim 2, wherein
the inner bent component is disposed inside of the display device such that the inner bent component is not exposed rearward of the display device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the inner bent component includes a side part that extends forward of the display device from the edge part of the rear frame, and a front part that extends substantially perpendicularly to the side part from the side part, and
the plastic frame is fixedly coupled to the front part of the inner bent component.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the plastic frame is fixedly coupled to the inner bent component by a fastening member.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The display device according to claim 4, wherein
the inner bent component further includes an anti-deformation component that protrudes rearward of the display device from the front part of the inner bent component such that the anti-deformation component maintains a spacing between the front part of the inner bent component and the edge part of the rear frame.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the plastic frame includes a first positioning component, and
the inner bent component includes a second positioning component at a position corresponding to the first positioning component of the plastic frame.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The display device according to claim 7, wherein
the first positioning component of the plastic frame includes a tapered boss part that extends rearward of the display device, and
the second positioning component of the rear frame includes a burring part with a hole in which the tapered boss part of the first positioning component is disposed, the burring part axially extending rearward of the display device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The display device according to claim 7, wherein
the plastic frame includes a first tacking component disposed adjacent to the first positioning component, and
the rear frame includes a second tacking component disposed adjacent to the second positioning component at a position corresponding to the first tacking component of the plastic frame.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The display device according to claim 9, wherein
the plastic frame includes a pair of first engagement components at both ends of a side portion of the plastic frame, respectively, and
the rear frame includes a pair of second engagement components at positions corresponding to the first engagement components of the plastic frame, the first engagement components and the second engagement components being engaged with respect to each other, respectively.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, further comprising
a light source configured to emit light, and
a reflective sheet configured to reflect the light emitted from the light source forward of the display device,
the rear frame has a concave center part that is recessed rearward of the display device, and a sheet support part that supports the reflective sheet, the sheet support part being disposed inward of the display device relative to the inner bent component adjacent to the edge part of the rear frame.
