Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a display having adhesive
structure, and more particularly, to an LCD display structure
having a sticky frame coated with an adhesive layer.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] Nowadays, whether employees at workplaces or SOHO business
workers at homes, sticky pressure sensitive adhesive or non-stick
notepaper are used for note taking or personal reminder.
Ordinarily, whether at workplaces or at homes, pressure sensitive
adhesive is usually adhered to the frame of displays incorporated
with personal computers so as to achieve a function of
reminder.
[0005] Nevertheless, as far as the pressure sensitive adhesive
notepaper is concerned, after a long-time use, stickiness will be
lost gradually, making the pressure sensitive adhesive notepaper
non-sticky. As a result, users need to re-write notes on a new
pressure sensitive adhesive notepaper, where the notes were
previously written on an original pressure sensitive adhesive, and
then the new pressure sensitive adhesive notepaper is adhered to a
frame of the display. This makes writing notes on the pressure
sensitive adhesive notepaper troublesome, let alone expenses
accumulated for purchasing the pressure sensitive adhesive
notepaper become a burden.
[0006] As to use of ordinary notepaper, in addition to notepaper,
purchasing tacks/pins, magnet, or paster board is also required for
fixing the notepaper on the paster board. Nevertheless, a big-sized
paster board not only occupies space, but also adversely affects
appearance of the work place or home. Moreover, the tacks/pins have
a sharp end and thus might hurt people accidentally. The stationery
has disadvantages in use, or even is inconsistent with
environmental concept today.
[0007] Therefore, use of notepaper becomes less economic, less
environmentally friendly, and less practical than pressure
sensitive adhesive notepaper. However, use of pressure sensitive
adhesive notepaper has the above-mentioned setbacks such as losing
stickiness and getting loosened.
[0008] It therefore becomes an urge for development of a display
having adhesive structure so as to solve the problem as indicated
above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The present invention is to provide a display having
adhesive structure, comprising a display body and an adhesive
layer. The display body includes a display screen and a frame. The
frame includes a front opening, a front external surface, and a
side external surface. The display screen is arranged inside the
frame and corresponds to the front opening of the frame. The
adhesive layer is formed at least on the front external surface or
the side external surface of the frame, such that the frame can
have a function of pressure sensitive adhesive.
[0010] According to the present invention, since the frame of the
display body is sticky and can be adhered thereto repeatedly, a
user can adhere ordinary notepaper thereto any time after note
taking such that important message will not be omitted. Notepaper
or light-weight stationery such as paper clips, rules, rubbers, and
pens can thus be adhered repeatedly to the frame. Besides, the
adhesive area of the frame, as a whole, is greater than that of
normal pressure sensitive adhesive notepaper, therefore, the frame
has a stickier adherence and that the notepaper would not be
loosened off easily.
[0011] The adhesive layer may have low strength stickiness, so that
the user can remove notepaper or stationery adhered to the adhesive
layer easily. The adhesive layer also may have medium strength
stickiness, so that the notepaper or stationery can be adhered to
the adhesive layer for a relatively long duration. On the other
hand, the adhesive layer may be a silica gel adhesive layer, for
which stickiness can be regained after wiping the adhesive layer
with damp cloth, so as to have environmentally friendly and
practical merits.
[0012] The present invention further includes a release paper which
is adhered on the adhesive layer, such that the release paper will
not be removed after manufacture, and prior to sale, of the display
body so as to protect and maintain stickiness of the adhesive layer
of the frame. Upon intending to stick notepaper or light-weight
stationery such as paper clips, rules, or rubbers, the release
paper is then removed, so that the frame will have a function of
pressure sensitive adhesive.
[0013] Further, the present invention may include a detachable kit
arranged on the frame, where the adhesive layer is formed on a
surface of the detachable kit, rather than on the frame, such that
the detachable kit arranged on the frame of the display body can
have a function of pressure sensitive adhesive. Besides, the
detachable kit can be replaced individually.
[0014] Still further, the detachable kit can be a dust cover
including a dust cover frame and a dust shield member arranged
inside the dust cover frame, where the dust shield member has an
inner surface and an outer surface. The adhesive layer is formed on
the inner surface, or on the outer surface; or alternatively, the
adhesive layer can be formed on both the inner surface and the
outer surface of the dust shield member, such that the dust shield
member of the dust cover has a function of pressure sensitive
adhesive.
[0015] The dust cover can be of one-piece type which is attached,
by at least one hinge, to one side of the frame of the display
body, such as either left or right side of the frame. Of course,
the dust cover can also be designed to be of two-piece type which
are symmetrical with each other, and are attached, by at least two
hinges, respectively to the left and right sides of the frame. No
matter one-piece type or two-piece type, the dust cover can be
opened or closed, selectively, so that a convenient manipulation
can be achieved.
[0016] Part of the inner surface or outer surface of the dust cover
is applied by mirror treatment so as to have a function of mirror
for part of the dust cover.
[0017] Further, the detachable kit may relate to a frame jacket.
The frame jacket corresponds to the frame and receives at least two
sides of the frame, and covers the front external surface and side
external surface of the at least two sides of the frame. The
adhesive layer is formed on a front surface of the frame jacket,
such that the frame jacket, receiving the frame, can achieve a
function of pressure sensitive adhesive.
[0018] The detachable kit may be a jacket strip, where the jacket
strip corresponds to and receives one side of the frame, and covers
on the front external surface and side external surface of the side
of the frame. The adhesive layer is formed on a front surface of
the jacket strip, so that the jacket strip, receiving the frame of
the display body, can have a function of pressure sensitive
adhesive.
[0019] Further, the detachable kit may relate to a plate member.
There is a post fixed behind the plate member, and that the frame
is provided with a hole corresponding to the post. The plate member
is attached to one side of the frame through engagement of the post
and the hole. The plate member also covers the front external
surface of the side of the frame. The adhesive layer is formed on a
front surface of the plate member, such that the plate member
arranged at the frame of the display body can have a function of
pressure sensitive adhesive.
[0020] Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the present
invention will become more apparent from the following detailed
descriptions when taken in conjunction with the accompanying
drawings.
