FIGS. 1 to 2 illustrate a first exemplary embodiment of an ultra-thin television 100 including a wall holder 1 for television and a liquid crystal display screen 2.


The wall holder 1 can be mounted on a wall. The wall holder 1 includes a support structure 10 and a plurality of accessories 20.


The support structure 10 includes a front frame 11 and a base board 12.


The front frame 11 is substantially a square. The front frame 11 includes a decorative front surface 111, a back surface 112, a plurality of inner side surfaces 113, and a plurality of outer side surfaces 114. The back surface 112 is on a side of the front frame opposite to the decorative front surface 111. The plurality of inner side surfaces 113 connects to the back surface 112 and the decorative front surface 111. The plurality of outer side surfaces 114 connects to the back surface 112 and the decorative front surface 111.


The plurality of inner side surfaces 113 defines a display screen receiving space 115.


The decorative front surface 111 of the front frame 11 can include geometric patterns, decorative texture, decorative patterns, embossed patterns, and others. When the wall holder 1 is mounted on a wall, the front frame 11 looks like a picture frame.


The back surface 112 can include a mounting element (not shown) to mount the front frame 11 on a wall.


The base board 12 is received in the display screen receiving space 115. The base board 12 is a hollow board. The base board 12 defines at least one accessory receiving cavity 124 in the base board 12.


In this exemplary embodiment, a thickness of the base board 12 is less than that of the front frame 11 defining the display screen receiving space 115.


The base board 12 includes a first plate 121 and a second plate 122. The second plate 122 is on a side of the base board 12 opposite to the first plate 121. The first plate 121 defines an opening 123. The at least one accessory receiving cavity 124 is in air communication with the display screen receiving space 115 through the opening 123. A position element (not shown) can be positioned on the second plate 122 to mount the base board 12 on a wall.


The plurality of accessories 20 is received in the at least one accessory receiving cavity 124. In this exemplary embodiment, the plurality of accessories 20 converges to a connector 201 and electrically connects to the connector 201. The connector 201 is positioned on the first plate 121 away from the second plate 122, and is exposed from the opening 123. The connector 201 can be a socket with electrical connection, fiber connection, or a combination of connectors.


The plurality of accessories 20 can include a printed circuit board, a speaker, a power supply, a radiator, and other accessories.


The liquid crystal display screen 2 is received in the display screen receiving space 15 on a side of the first plate 121 away from the second plate 122. The liquid crystal display screen 2 can electrically connect to the plurality of accessories 20 by the connector 201. The liquid crystal display screen 2 can be mounted on the inner side surfaces 113 of the front frame 11 or the first plate 121 of the base board 12.


Preferably, a thickness of the liquid crystal display screen 2 is less than that of the front frame 11 defining the display screen receiving space 115. An outermost surface of the liquid crystal display screen 2 away from the base board 12 is depressed from or is flush with the decorative front surface 111. In the exemplary embodiment, the outermost surface of the liquid crystal display screen 2 away from the base board 12 is depressed from the decorative front surface 111.


In this exemplary embodiment, the support structure 10 further includes a resisting frame 13 received in the display screen receiving space 15. The resisting frame 13 is positioned on one side of the liquid crystal display screen 2 away from the base board 12, to resist against the liquid crystal display screen 2 in the display screen receiving space 15. A surface of the resisting frame 13 away from the liquid crystal display screen 2 can also include geometric patterns, decorative texture, decorative patterns, embossed patterns, and the like.


In other exemplary embodiments, the resisting frame 13 can be omitted.


In other exemplary embodiments, the base board 12 can be omitted as shown in FIG. 3 according to a second exemplary embodiment of an ultra-thin television 100a. The ultra-thin television 100a in the second exemplary embodiment is similar to the ultra-thin television 100 in the first exemplary embodiment. Differences between the embodiments include the front frame 11 defining at least one accessory receiving cavity 124a in the front frame 11. The at least one accessory receiving cavity 124a is in air communication with the display screen receiving space 115a. The plurality of accessories 20a is received in the at least one accessory receiving cavity 124a.


The plurality of accessories being separate from the liquid crystal display screen and the plurality of accessories being received in the accessory receiving cavity of the support structure reduce the thickness of the ultra-thin television.


The exemplary embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of an ultra-thin television. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the sections within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the exemplary embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
