Abstract

The present invention discloses a flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure. The flat panel display comprises a display body, a sliding rail, and a sliding loudspeaker portion. The loudspeaker portion comprises a loudspeaker body, a sliding member and a connecting portion. By the matching structure of the sliding member and the sliding rail, the effect of allowing a user to freely adjust the loudspeaker body to different positions can be achieved. Besides, by further using the pivot of the loudspeaker body, the present invention allows the user to freely adjust the loudspeaker to different angular positions. Therefore, the problems of an immovably fixed loudspeaker position and angularly non-adjustable loudspeaker sound field on a conventional display are solved.

Claims (28)

1. A flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure, comprising:

a display body having a rear surface;

a sliding rail installed on the rear surface of the display body; and

at least one sliding loudspeaker portion comprising a sliding member, a loudspeaker body and a connecting portion, wherein the sliding rail is U-shaped and installed on the rear surface of the display body; the connecting portion is connected with the sliding member and the loudspeaker body, and the sliding member is movably installed in the sliding rail in a predetermined matching manner.

2. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding rail is transversely installed on the rear surface of the display body.

3. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predetermined matching manner is a joint manner.

4. A flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure, comprising:

a display body having a rear surface;

a sliding rail installed on the rear surface of the display body; and

at least one sliding loudspeaker portion comprising a sliding member, a loudspeaker body and a connecting portion, wherein the connecting portion is connected with the sliding member and the loudspeaker body, and the sliding member is movably installed in the sliding rail in a predetermined matching manner, and the predetermined matching manner is a gear driving manner or a hydraulic driving manner.

5. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predetermined matching manner is a tight fit manner.

6. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display body can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) television, a plasma display panel (PDP) television, or an organic light emission diode (OLED) television.

7. A flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure, comprising:

a display body having at least one side surface around the display body;

a sliding rail installed on one of the at lease one side surface of the display body; and

at least one sliding loudspeaker portion comprising a sliding member, a loudspeaker body and a connecting portion, wherein the side surface is a U-shaped side surface; one end of the connecting portion is connected with the sliding member and the other end is pivotally connected with the loudspeaker body, and the sliding member is movably installed in the sliding rail in a predetermined matching manner.

8. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the side surface is a longitudinal side surface.

9. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the sliding rail is a longitudinal sliding rail correspondingly installed on the longitudinal side surface of the display body.

10. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the side surface is a transverse side surface.

11. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the sliding rail is a transverse sliding rail correspondingly installed on the transverse side surface of the display body.

12. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the sliding rail is a U-shaped sliding rail correspondingly installed on the U-shaped side surface of the display body.

13. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the predetermined matching manner is a joint manner.

14. A flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure, comprising:

a display body having at least one side surface around the display body;

a sliding rail installed on one of the at lease one side surface of the display body; and

at least one sliding loudspeaker portion comprising a sliding member, a loudspeaker body and a connecting portion, wherein one end of the connecting portion is connected with the sliding member and the other end is pivotally connected with the loudspeaker body, and the sliding member is movably installed in the sliding rail in a predetermined matching manner, and the predetermined matching manner is a gear driving manner or a hydraulic driving manner.

15. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the predetermined matching manner is a tight fit manner.

16. The flat panel display with sliding loudspeaker structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the display body can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) television, a plasma display panel (PDP) television, or an organic light emission diode (OLED) television.
