Claims (24)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

a rail provided on a back surface of the display and configured to extend in a direction; and

a housing placed in engagement with the rail and including a camera with a lens configured to be exposed outside the display in a first state in which the camera is moved to a first end of the rail, and to be located behind the back surface of the display in a second state in which the camera is moved to a second end of the rail;

a lock portion configured to lock the camera in one of the first state and the second state and including a lock protrusion which is fitted in a lock hole provided in the rail, a spring shaft and a lock slope portion; and

an unlock portion configured to unlock the camera which is locked and including an unlock button and an unlock slope portion configured to move in the direction with being contact with the lock slope portion when the unlock button is pushed.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an optical axis of the lens forms an angle of depression by slanting an upper edge of the camera toward a side of the display than a lower edge of the camera.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second end of the rail is provided at a position at which the camera in the second state does not protrude from the display.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a detector that detects that the camera is in the second state,

wherein a power supply to the camera is stopped when the detector detects that the camera is in the second state.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the camera includes an image sensor configured to processes light which passes through the lens.

6. A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

a recess provided on a back surface of the display; and

a housing housed in the recess and including a camera with a lens, configured to slide upward and downward along a rail which extends in a direction, and cause the lens to be exposed outside the display in a case where the camera is at an upper position of the rail;

a lock portion configured to lock the camera in one of the upper position and a lower position of the rail and including a lock protrusion which is fitted in a lock hole provided in the rail, a spring shaft and a lock slope portion; and

an unlock portion configured to unlock the camera which is locked and including an unlock button and an unlock slope portion configured to move in the direction with being contact with the lock slope portion when the unlock button is pushed.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein an optical axis of the lens forms an angle of depression by slanting an upper edge of the camera toward a side of the display than a lower edge of the camera.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the lens is located behind the back surface of the display in a case where the camera is at the lower position of the rail.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising

a detector that detects that the camera positions at the lower position of the rail,

wherein a power supply to the camera is stopped when the detector detects that the camera positions at the lower position of the rail.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the camera includes an image sensor configured to processes light which passes through the lens.
