Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a display; more particularly, relates to installing a display device on a wall of a bathroom to be a display and a mirror with a waterproof function for fully utilizing the space and beautifying the bathroom.


DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

A bathroom is traditionally designed for bathing and washing only, so that it usually contains a showering device, a stool, a bathtub and a washing basin. Yet, in the modern days, life pressure is high. So, people like to take a bath to release their pressure. But, they usually can just close their eyes or stare at the ceiling without being fully relaxed.


Hence, an audio-video device is installed in some bathroom. People can use the audio-video equipment on taking baths to be fully relaxed. On installing the audio-video device, at first, a containing space is usually formed in the wall by digging. Then a display is put in to the containing space and a transparent glass is covered on the containing space. In this way, an audio-video device is provided to people to be used when they are taking baths.


However, the containing space must be obtained at first by digging in the wall. This makes the installation become difficult. And the digging may ruin the wall. In addition, if the wall is made of wood or something vapor-permeable, vapor may enter into the containing space and make the audio-video device not workable. Hence, the prior art does not fulfill users' requests on actual use.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main purpose of the present invention is to install a display device on a wall of a bathroom to be a display and a mirror with a waterproof function for fully utilizing the space and beautifying the bathroom.


To achieve the above purpose, the present: invention is a waterproof display device used in a bathroom, comprising a shell having a containing space with a hollow hole and a wire hole both penetrating to the containing space on two surfaces of the shell; a display in the containing space; a glass layer capable of being used as a mirror in the hollow hole corresponding to the display; and a waterproof layer pasted in the containing space and extended out to a connecting place of the hollow hole and the glass layer, where the waterproof layer can be replaced with a plastic waterproof bag coated on the display. Accordingly, a novel waterproof display device used in a bathroom is obtained.

FIG. 7 is the explosive view of the second preferred embodiment;



FIG. 8 is the sectional view showing the state of use of the second preferred embodiment.





DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following descriptions of the preferred embodiments are provided to understand the features and the structures of the present invention.


Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, which are a perspective view an explosive view and a sectional view showing the first preferred embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in the figures, the present invention is a waterproof display device used in a bathroom, comprising a shell 1, a display 2, a glass layer 3 and a waterproof layer 4, where the present invention is installed on a wall in a bathroom to be a display and a mirror with a waterproof function; and the present invention fully utilizes space and thus beautifies the bathroom


The shell 1 has a containing space 11; two surfaces of the shell 11 separately have a hollow hole 12 and a wire hole 13 both penetrating to the containing space 11; and, a fan 14 is located at the wire hole 13.


The display 2 is located in the containing space 11 and is corresponding to the hollow hole 12; and the display 2 is a thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD).


The glass layer 3 is located in the hollow hole 12 and is corresponding to the display; and the glass layer 3 is plated with an inorganic coating material to be a mirror.


The waterproof layer 4 is made of a waterproof ventilative fabric; and is located in the containing space 11 and is extended out to a connecting place of the hollow hole 12 and the glass layer 3. The waterproof layer 4 is pasted on in the containing space 11; and is coordinated with a fixing frame 41. Thus, a novel waterproof display device used in a bathroom is obtained


Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, which are a perspective view and a sectional view showing a state of use of the first preferred embodiment. As shown in the figures, when assembling the present invention, a display 2, a glass layer 3 and a waterproof layer 4 are put in a containing space 11 of a shell 1; a power line 21 of the display 2 penetrates through a wire hole 13; the shell 1 is installed on a wall 50 above a washing basin 5; the power line 21 of the display 2 is connected with a power source 52 in the container hole 51; and, the connecting place between the shell 1 and the container hole 51 is waterproof. Thus, the present invention is assembled.


When using the present invention, the display 2 is controlled by a wireless remote controller 32 or a wire switch controller 33 to display a screen through the glass layer 3. Hence, an audio-video entertainment is available through the display 2. And a fan at the wire hole 13 exhausts out hot air produced on using the display 2. On the other hand, when the display 2 is not used, the display 2 is shut down by the remote controller 32 or the switch controller 32 to become opaque; and, therefore, the glass layer 3 can be used as a glass above the washing basin 5.


Please refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, which are a perspective view showing the second preferred embodiment and an explosive view and a sectional view showing a state of use of the second preferred embodiment. As shown in the figures, a display 2 of a second preferred embodiment is coated with a transparent plastic waterproof bag 6; then the display 2 coated with the plastic waterproof bag 6 is put into a containing space 11; and, then, a glass layer 3 is put in the hollow hole 12. What follows then is that the shell 1 is installed on a wall 50 of a washing basin 5.


On using the second preferred embodiment, the display 2 is controlled by a wireless remote controller 32 or a wire switch controller 33 to display a screen through the glass layer 3. Hence, an audio-video entertainment is available through the display 2. And a fan at the wire hole 13 exhausts out hot air produced on using the display 2. Or, the glass layer 3 can be used as a glass above the washing basin 5.


To sum up, the present invention is a waterproof display device used in a bathroom, where the present is installed on a wall in a bathroom to be a display and a mirror; and space in the bathroom is highly utilized with the present invention and the bathroom is beautified.


The preferred embodiments herein disclosed are not intended to unnecessarily limit the scope of the invention. Therefore, simple modifications or variations belonging to the equivalent of the scope of the claims and the instructions disclosed herein for a patent are all within the scope of the present invention.
