  • Publication number: 20130021310
    Abstract: A display device including a front cover and a rear cover coupled to each other in order to receive a display panel, drive board and power supply board, is provided. A shield case mounted on the power supply board and coupled to the rear cover removes noise conducted to the rear cover. The shield case serves to disperse and absorb noise conducted to the rear cover, enabling removal of the noise. A frame ground terminal of a socket is connected to the shield case in order to allow the shield case to be used as a ground, resulting in an increased ground area. Further, the shield case may reduce radiation noise and conduction noise generated during driving of a plurality of drive units provided in the display device.
