`Amendments to the Claims:
`
`This listing of claims will replace all prior versions, andlistings, of claims in the application:
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A display device comprising:
`
`a display panel;
`
`a sound generator disposed on one surfaceof the display panel; and a porous
`
`layer disposed adjacent to the sound generator,
`
`wherein the porouslayer includesa first coupling layer, a second coupling layer,
`
`and an intermediate layer interposed betweenthefirst and second coupling layers and
`
`including a plurality of air pockets, and
`
`wherein the first coupling layer and the intermediate layer do not overlap the
`
`sound generatorin a thicknessdirection of the display panel, the thickness direction
`
`being normal to the one surface of the display panel.
`
`2.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 1, wherein the second coupling
`
`layer overlaps the sound generatorin the thickness direction of the display panel.
`
`3.
`
`(Currently Amended) The display device of claim 1, wherein a thickness
`
`of the first coupling layer is smaterless than a thickness of the sound generator.
`
`4.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 1, wherein the porous layer further
`
`comprisesa third coupling layer between the sound generator and the second coupling
`
`layer.
`
`5.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 4, wherein the third coupling layer
`
`does not overlap the sound generatorin the thickness direction of the display panel.
`
`6.
`
`(Currently Amended) The display device of claim 4, wherein a thickness

`
`of the third coupling layer is smaatteriess than a thicknessof the intermediate layer.
`
`7.
`
`(Currently Amended) The display device of claim 1, wherein a sum of a
`
`thickness ofthe first coupling layer and a thickness of the intermediate layer is smatter
`
`less than a thickness of the sound generator.
`
`8.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 1, wherein one surface of the
`
`second coupling layer is in contact with the sound generator and the intermediate layer.
`
`9.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 1, wherein the second coupling
`
`layer does not overlap the sound generatorin the thicknessdirection of the display
`
`panel.
`
`10.
`
`(Currently Amended) The display device of claim 1, wherein a sum of a
`
`thicknessof the porous layer is smatterless than a thickness of the sound generator.
`
`11.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 1, wherein the porous layer has a
`
`porosity of 90% or more.
`
`12.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 1, further comprising a shock-absorbing
`
`layer between the display panel and the porous layer.
`
`13.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 12, wherein the shock-absorbing layer
`
`does not overlap the sound generator.
`
`14.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 12, wherein the shock-absorbing layer,
`
`the first coupling layer, and the intermediate layer surround side surfaces of the sound
`
`generator.
`
`15.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 14, wherein the second coupling layer
`
`surroundsthe side surfaces of the sound generator.

`
`16.
`
`(Currently Amended) The display device of claim 14, wherein a thicknessof
`
`the sound generator is smaterless than a sum of a thickness of the porous layer anda
`
`thickness of the shock-absorbing layer.
`
`17.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 14, wherein a thickness of the sound
`
`generatoris substantially same as a sum of a thickness of the porous layer and a
`
`thickness of the shock-absorbinglayer.
`
`18.
`
`(Currently Amended) The display device of claim 1, further comprising a
`
`frame dispesed-on the second coupling layer.
`
`19.
`
`(Currently Amended) The display device of claim 18, wherein the second
`
`coupling layer is dispesed-between the sound generator and the frame.
`
`20.
`
`(Original) The display device of claim 18, wherein the frameis in contact with
`
`the sound generator.
