  • Patent number: 11690182
    Abstract: A display module and a display device which can improve a heat-dissipation performance and a shock absorption function while reducing a bezel area, and in particular, reduce an impact applied to an edge of a cushion plate, and reduce deterioration in the shock absorption function due to moisture. A chamfer is formed along an edge of a metal foam included in the cushion plate to implement the improvement. Thus, a spacing between the edge of the cushion plate and a frame is maximized such that the impact applied to the edge of the cushion plate can be reduced as much as possible. Further, a rear face of a body and a chamfer of the metal foam can be covered with a water-proof layer, such that moisture invasion into the cushion plate can be reduced as much as possible.
