Bottom chassis and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A manufacturing method of a bottom chassis includes providing a base plate having a flexibility and a first rigidity through a press molding process, providing a bent-maintaining member having a second rigidity greater than the first rigidity and being curved in a first direction through an extrusion molding process, and coupling the base plate to the bent-maintaining member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bottom chassis comprising:
 a base plate which has a flexibility and a first rigidity, includes a sidewall unitary therewith and extending substantially perpendicular thereto, and is curved along a first direction; and   a bent-maintaining member which comprises a plurality of chassis bars which has a second rigidity greater than the first rigidity, is curved along the first direction and coupled to the base plate, and maintains a curved shape of the base plate,   wherein each of the plurality of chassis bars is coupled to an adjacent chassis bar thereto, and   wherein at least one of the plurality of chassis bars is directly coupled to the sidewall of the base plate by a fixing member disposed in holes defined in the at least one of the plurality of chassis bars and the sidewall of the base plate.
