The backplane 10 is disposed on one side of the display panel 43 away from a light emitting surface of the display panel 43. The backplane 10 may be made of glass material, or other materials such as metal, alloy, or ceramic. The adapter bracket 30 is disposed between the display panel 43 and the backplane 10, and may be connected to an external support structure located outside the display module 40. The adapter bracket 30 may be made of metal so as to obtain better structural strength and rigidity. In other embodiments, other materials may also be used, such as glass, metal, or ceramics.
In the present embodiment, the adapter bracket is disposed between the backplane and the display panel as a component of the display module, and connected to an external support structure of the display module, so that on one hand, the adapter bracket may occupy less assembling space, and on the other hand, the adapter bracket within the display module can achieve a more reliable supporting effect. In addition, compared to a manner in which the base adapter bracket is mounted outside the entire display device in the related art, the present embodiment may omit the installation of an external adapter bracket of the entire display device, thereby saving the related labor cost.

The wall mount bracket 60 may be made of ferromagnetic metal (such as iron, nickel, cobalt and the like) or alloy. The magnetic body 50 may be a magnet or the like. The adapter bracket may be made of non-ferromagnetic metal or non-metallic material, so as not to affect the absorbing effect of the magnetic body 50 over the wall mount bracket 60. When a plurality of magnetic bodies 50 are arranged within the mounting groove 38 at intervals along the first direction s, the plurality of magnetic bodies 50 may simultaneously form a more stable and reliable absorbing effect on the wall mount bracket 60 on one side of the backplane away from the display panel.
