Display device

Abstract

A display device includes a first receiving container, a display panel, and a second receiving container. The first receiving container includes a receiving bottom portion and a receiving side portion. The receiving side portion extends from an edge of the receiving bottom portion. The receiving bottom portion and the receiving side portion together define a receiving space therein. The display panel is positioned in the first receiving container. The display panel is configured for displaying images. The second receiving container includes a panel support portion and a chassis side portion. The second receiving container is partially combined with the first receiving container. The panel support portion fixes an edge of the display panel. The chassis side portion extends from an edge of the panel support portion. The receiving container and the top chassis may be efficiently combined without aid of a screw. Thus, the display device may be manufactured in a processing time substantially shorter than that of a conventional display device.

       3 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the chassis side portion includes a combination hole and the receiving side portion includes a combination portion combined with the combination hole, wherein a portion of the combination portion elastically deforms when a force is applied to combine the combination portion with the combination hole and wherein the combination portion returns substantially to its undeformed shape when the force is removed.  
   
   
       4 . The display device of  claim 3 , wherein the combination portion includes a combination body and a combination head, the combination body extending from the receiving side portion, wherein the combination head includes a portion that deforms elastically when the combination head is combined with the combination hole.  
   
   
       5 . The display device of  claim 3 , wherein the receiving side portion includes a chassis support portion configured to apply force to the chassis side portion in a direction away from the first receiving container when the chassis side portion is combined with the receiving side portion.  
   
   
       6 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the chassis side portion includes a combination protrusion and the receiving side portion includes a combination portion configured to apply pressure to the chassis side portion when the chassis side portion is combined with the receiving side portion.  
   
   
       7 . The display device of  claim 6 , wherein the combination portion includes combination wings configured to apply pressure to the combination protrusion.  
   
   
       8 . The display device of  claim 1 , further comprising a combination member enabling the first receiving container and the second receiving container to be combined to each other.  
   
   
       9 . The display device of  claim 8 , wherein the combination member includes a first magnet and a second magnet, the first magnet received in the receiving side portion, the second magnet positioned on an outer side face of the chassis side portion, the first magnet and the second magnet generating a magnetic force attracting each other.  
   
   
       10 . The display device of  claim 1 , further comprising a magnetic combination member, wherein the chassis side portion comprises a combination hole corresponding to the magnetic combination member.  
   
   
       11 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the panel support portion includes a bent portion enabling the first receiving container and the second receiving container to be combined with each other.  
   
   
       12 . The display device of  claim 11 , wherein the bent portion is a portion of the panel support portion, and the portion is bent toward an inside area of the first receiving container.  
   
   
       13 . A display device comprising: 
 a receiving container including a bottom face and a sidewall, the bottom face and the sidewall together defining a receiving space therein, the sidewall including a first combination portion that is recessed;    a display panel positioned in the receiving space, the display panel being configured for displaying images; and    a top chassis including a panel support face, a chassis sidewall, and a second combination portion, the panel support face fixing an edge of the display panel, the chassis sidewall extending from an edge of the panel support face to be combined with a sidewall of the receiving container, the second combination portion protruding from the chassis sidewall to be combined with the first combination portion.    
   
   
       14 . The display device of  claim 13 , wherein the second combination portion includes an “L” shaped section substantially parallel with the bottom face.  
   
   
       15 . The display device of  claim 13 , wherein the second combination portion is extended from the chassis sidewall, the second combination portion being slanted with respect to the chassis sidewall.  
   
   
       16 . The display device of  claim 13 , wherein the second combination portion includes an end portion that is bent at least once.  
   
   
       17 . The display device of  claim 13 , wherein the second combination portion is a portion of the chassis sidewall that is bent.  
   
   
       18 . The display device of  claim 13 , wherein the first combination portion includes an “L” shaped section substantially parallel with the bottom face.  
   
   
       19 . The display device of  claim 13 , wherein the first combination portion includes a stepped portion partially combined with the second combination portion, wherein the stepped portion is configured to prevent substantial movement of the top chassis with respect to the sidewall of the receiving container.  
   
   
       20 . The display device of  claim 19 , wherein the stepped portion is slanted with respect to a sidewall of the receiving container.  
   
   
       21 . The display device of  claim 13 , further comprising a case combined with the receiving container and the top chassis.  
   
   
       22 . The display device of  claim 21 , wherein the case is combined with the receiving container and the top chassis by a screw.
