Patent number: 9715139Abstract: A curved display device comprises a liquid crystal panel; a backlight unit providing light to the liquid crystal panel, the backlight unit including a light guide plate having a curvature. The backlight unit further includes an elastic optical guide member coupled to the light guide plate, the elastic optical guide member having a substantially same curvature as the curvature of the light guide plate. The curved display device further comprises a first frame having a substantially same curvature as the curvature of the elastic optical guide member, the first frame coupled to the backlight unit and configured to support the backlight unit and a reinforcing member having a substantially same curvature as the curvature of the first frame, the reinforcing member coupled to the first frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Se-Min Lee, Joo-young Yeon, Yong-Joong Yoon, Tae-Hyung Kim, Hyo-Sung Lee, Sun-Bok Song

Patent number: 9261720Abstract: A curved liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight unit, a bottom cover and a reinforcement frame. The liquid crystal display panel includes a thin film transistor substrate and a color filter substrate. The backlight unit applies light to the liquid crystal display panel. The bottom cover supports the backlight unit and has a flat shape. The reinforcement frame has a predetermined curvature and is attached to the bottom cover. The flat bottom cover is mounted on the reinforcement frame such that the flat bottom cover has the predetermined curvature of the reinforcement frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Se Min Lee, Hyun Woo Jang, Ji Eun Son, Joo Young Yeon, Jae Yeon Song, Yong Joong Yoon, Hyo Sung Lee, Han Tae Seo
