Abstract

A flat-panel display including a body, a base detachably connected with the body, and a metal plate detachably connected with the base is provided in the present invention. When the body is at a first use-state, the metal plate is affixed to the base and supports the body. When the body is at a second use-state, the metal plate is separated from the base and connected with the body to make the body capable of being hung on a wall. Besides, the metal plate also can reduce the electromagnetic interference effectively.

Claims (16)

1. A flat-panel display comprising:

a body with an outer backside surface;

a base detachably connected with the body and having a bottom surface;

an affixing component capable to be fixed on either one of the bottom surface and the outer backside surface; and

a metal plate having a hanging structure, and the metal plate capable to be affixed to either one of the bottom surface and the outer backside surface by the affixing component;

wherein when the metal plate is affixed to the outer backside surface, the hanging structure is exposed allowing the body being hung on a substantially vertical plane by the hanging structure;

wherein when the base is connected with the body and the metal plate is affixed to the bottom surface of the base, the body is allowed to stand on a substantially horizontal plane by the base.

2. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate has a shape to reduce an electromagnetic interference to the flat panel display.

3. The flat-panel display according to claim 2 , wherein the shape is an irregular shape.

4. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , wherein the hanging structure comprises an opening, when the metal plate is affixed to the outer backside surface, the opening is substantially vertically extended.

5. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , when the metal plate is affixed to the outer backside surface, the hanging structure is protruded to cooperate with a hook disposed on the substantially vertical plane.

6. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate has an edge of irregular shape.

7. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate has a protrusion.

8. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , wherein the base is an inverse T-profile, so that the profile where forming the bottom surface is larger than the profile connecting the body.

9. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes a screw-hole, and the affixing component is a screw matching the screw-hole.

10. The flat-panel display according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes a latch aperture, and the affixing component is a latch dimensioned to connect with the latch aperture.
