Abstract

The present embodiment may comprise: a display module; a link assembly connected to the display module; and a rotation mechanism connected to the link assembly so as to rotate the link assembly. In addition, the link assembly may comprise: a pair of links; and a link joint to which each link, of the pair of links, is rotatably connected. At least one link, of the pair of links, may comprise: an arm from which at least one gear coupling part protrudes; a gear; and a fastening member for fastening the gear to the gear coupling part. A first fastening hole may be formed in the gear coupling part; a second fastening hole, matching with the first fastening hole, may be formed in the gear; and the fastening member may couple the gear to the gear coupling part by being inserted in the first fastening hole and the second fastening hole.

Claims (38)

1. A display device comprising:

a display module;

a link assembly coupled to the display module; and

a rotating mechanism coupled to the link assembly and configured to rotate the link assembly,

wherein the link assembly includes:

a pair of links; and

a link joint to which each of the pair is rotatably coupled,

wherein at least one of the pair of links includes:

an arm having at least one gear coupling part,

a gear; and

a fastening member to couple the gear coupling part,

wherein a first fastening hole is formed in the gear coupling part and a second fastening hole corresponding to the first fastening hole is formed in the gear,

wherein the at least one gear coupling part comprises a pair of gear coupling parts separated by a gap,

wherein the first fastening hole is formed in a first gear coupling part of the pair of gear coupling parts,

wherein the gear includes:

a first gear part received in the gap and having a second fastening hole corresponding to the first fastening hole, and

a second gear part formed integrally with the first gear part and positioned outside the gap,

wherein a first groove is formed in a second gear coupling part of the pair of gear coupling parts and a second groove is formed in the first gear part corresponding to the first groove, such that the first and second grooves form a pin hole when positioned to face each other,

wherein the fastening member includes a pin inserted into the pin hole, and

wherein the pin extends perpendicular to a direction in which the pair of gear coupling parts are spaced apart from each other.

2. A display device comprising:

a display module;

a link assembly coupled to the display module; and

a rotating mechanism coupled to the link assembly and configured to rotate the link assembly,

wherein the link assembly includes:

a pair of links; and

a link joint to which each of the pair of links is rotatably coupled,

wherein at least one of the pair of links includes:

an arm having at least one gear coupling part;

a gear; and

a fastening member to couple the gear to the gear coupling part,

wherein a first fastening hole is formed in the gear coupling part,

wherein a second fastening hole corresponding to the first fastening hole is formed in the gear,

wherein the at least one gear coupling part comprises a pair of coupling parts separated by a gap,

wherein the fastening members comprises two shafts configured to secure the gear to the pair of coupling parts, and

wherein the two shafts are positioned perpendicular to each other to secure the gear to the pair of coupling parts.

3. The display device claim 2 , wherein the fastening member includes a shaft inserted into the first fastening hole and the second fastening hole.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the shaft extends in a direction in which the pair of gear coupling parts are spaced apart from each other.
