Abstract

Disclosed is a display apparatus including a plurality of display modules and a frame to detachably mount the plurality of display modules thereon, the frame including guide bars on which the display module includes guide bars are mounted to be movable in a horizontal direction, so that a screen is physically separated or joined.

Claims (22)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of display modules, each display module of the plurality of display modules having a front side facing a first direction, an upper side and a lower side; and

a frame configured to detachably mount the plurality of display modules thereon,

wherein the frame includes a plurality of guide bars extending in a horizontal direction and spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction such that each of the plurality of display modules is movably installed between two guide bars among the plurality of guide bars,

wherein each of the plurality of guide bars includes an upper side and a lower side,

wherein the upper side of the each display module is movably connected to a lower side of one guide bar among the plurality of guide bars and the lower side of the each display module is movably connected to an upper side of another guide bar adjacent to the one guide bar among the plurality of guide bars such that the each display module is movable between the one guide bar and the other guide bar in the horizontal direction, and

wherein the first direction is perpendicular to both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and

wherein each guide bar of the plurality of guide bars includes a first rail portion protruding from the upper side of the each guide bar in the vertical direction and extending in the horizontal direction to movably mount the plurality of display modules thereon, and

wherein a display module of the plurality of display modules includes a first guide groove on a lower side of the display module and movably installed in the first rail portion, the upper side of the each guide bar facing the lower side of the display module.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a plurality of support bars extending in the vertical direction to maintain the plurality of guide bars in a state of being vertically spaced apart from each other.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each guide bar of the plurality of guide bars includes a plurality of split bars rotatably connected to each other.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each guide bar of the plurality of guide bars includes a second rail portion extending in the horizontal direction and protruding from the lower side of the each guide bar,

wherein the first guide groove is recessed on the lower side of the display module, and

wherein the display module includes a second groove recessed on an upper side of the display module opposite to the lower side of the display module, the upper side and the lower side of the display module facing opposite directions to each other.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each guide bar of the plurality of guide bars includes a plurality of terminal parts to transmit power and a signal, and

wherein each of the plurality of display modules includes a connection part connected to a terminal part of the plurality of terminal parts.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a camera module detachably mounted in the frame.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a speaker module detachably mounted on the frame.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a motion recognition module detachably mounted on the frame.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of display modules has a rear side facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, the second direction being perpendicular to both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of display modules are formed by a first group of display modules and a second group of display modules, the first group and the second group being separated so that each of the first group and the second group forms a screen.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the frame is in a grid shape formed by the plurality of guide bars and the plurality of support bars.
