Abstract

A display device including a display module and a cover is provided, wherein the display module includes a frame and a panel module. The cover includes a hinge module, and the hinge module includes a bracket and a pivotal portion. The bracket is fixed to the inner side of the cover. The pivotal portion is mounted to the bracket and pivotally connected to a hinge. By gluing the bracket to the cover, the hinge module can effectively reduce the thickness of the display module to achieve the goal of thinning.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A hinge module being applied in a display device, the hinge module comprising:
 a bracket being fixed to a cover by a glue; and   a pivotal portion being mounted to the bracket for mounting a hinge.   
     
     
         2 . The hinge module of  claim 1 , wherein the cover has four rims, and the length of the bracket is longer than half the length of one of the rims. 
     
     
         3 . The hinge module of  claim 1 , wherein the cover further comprises a reinforcing plate and the reinforcing plate is substantially perpendicular to the bracket, wherein the reinforcing plate contacts the bracket or is integrally formed with the bracket. 
     
     
         4 . The hinge module of  claim 1 , wherein the hinge is used to pivotally connect a host housing, so as to make the display device to rotate relative to the host housing, wherein the hinge is mounted to the pivotal portion by a screw fastening method. 
     
     
         5 . The hinge module of  claim 1 , wherein the pivotal portion and the bracket are mounted to each other by a fixed method, wherein the fixed method is a thermal binding method, a screw fastening method, or a riveting method. 
     
     
         6 . The hinge module of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket is plate-shaped, and a range of the thickness of the bracket is about 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The hinge module of  claim 1 , wherein a width of the bracket is directly proportional to a desired torque of the hinge and a width of the bracket is approximately longer than 25 mm. 
     
     
         8 . The hinge module of  claim 7 , wherein the width of the bracket is the width of the end of the bracket that is adjacent to the hinge. 
     
     
         9 . A display device comprising:
 a frame;   a panel module comprising a first side and a second side, the second side being fixed to the frame, the first side comprising a display region; and   a cover being mounted to the frame and adjacent to the second side to form the display device, wherein the frame and the cover provide support to the panel module, the cover comprises a hinge module, and the hinge module comprises:
 a bracket being fixed to a cover by a glue; and 
 a pivotal portion being mounted to the bracket for mounting a hinge. 
   
     
     
         10 . The display device of  claim 9 , comprising a display module that has backlight, and the display module comprising the frame and the panel module, wherein the panel module comprises a glass module and a backlight module, and the frame comprises a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion. 
     
     
         11 . The display device of  claim 10 , wherein the glass module is fixed to the first supporting portion along a direction, and the backlight module is fixed to the second supporting portion along the direction, the direction is the normal vector of the display region, wherein the first supporting portion is located on the frame at a position outside that of the second supporting portion. 
     
     
         12 . The display device of  claim 9 , comprising a display module that do not have backlight, and the display module comprising the frame and the panel module, wherein the panel module comprises a glass module, and the frame comprises a supporting portion. 
     
     
         13 . The display device of  claim 12 , wherein the glass module is fixed to the supporting portion, the glass module comprises a first glass plate and a second glass plate, and the glass module comprises an organic light-emitting layer between the first glass plate and the second glass plate. 
     
     
         14 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein the cover comprises a first fixing portion, and the frame comprises a second fixing portion, wherein when the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are engaged to each other, the cover is fixed to the frame. 
     
     
         15 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein the cover has four rims, and the length of the bracket is longer than half the length of one of the rims. 
     
     
         16 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein the cover further comprises a reinforcing plate and the reinforcing plate is substantially perpendicular to the bracket, wherein the reinforcing plate contacts the bracket or is integrally formed with the bracket. 
     
     
         17 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein the hinge is used to pivotally connect a host housing, so as to make the display device to rotate relative to the host housing, wherein the hinge is mounted to the pivotal portion by a screw fastening method. 
     
     
         18 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein the pivotal portion and the bracket are mounted to each other by a fixed method, wherein the fixed method is a thermal binding method, a screw fastening method, or a riveting method. 
     
     
         19 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein after the cover is mounted to the frame, the sidewall of the cover covers the sidewall of the frame to avoid light leakage of the display device. 
     
     
         20 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein a width of the bracket is directly proportional to a desired torque of the hinge, wherein the width of the end of the bracket adjacent to the hinge is approximately longer than 25 mm.
