Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display module, a support configured to rotate and support the display module, and a mounting device configured to mount a mobile device on the display module. The mobile device is configured to be paired with the display module. The mounting device includes a mounting portion including a mounting groove having a shape corresponding to a frame forming borders of the display module. The mounting portion is coupled to the frame when the frame is inserted into the mounting groove, and an accommodating portion is positioned below the mounting portion, and accommodates the mobile device such that the mobile device is mounted on the display module.

Claims (44)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display module including a frame;

a support device configured to rotatably support the display module; and

a mounting device configured to be coupled to the display module and configured to mount a mobile device, the mounting device comprising a mounting portion configured to receive the frame and an accommodating portion configured to accommodate the mobile device,

wherein the accommodating portion includes:

a first support part,

a second support part extended from the first support part, and

a third support part hinge-coupled to the second support part.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting device is detachable from the display module.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the mounting device is couplable to a top end of the display module so that the mounting device is positioned at the top end of the display module, when the display module is positioned in a vertical mode, and

when the display module is positioned in a horizontal mode, the mounting device is positioned at one side of the display module by rotating together with the display module.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the mounting device further comprises a non-slip member configured to prevent the mobile device mounted on the mounting device from slipping, and

the non-slip member is provided on the first support part or the third support part.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the non-slip member comprises a rubber material.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second support part is nearly perpendicular to the first support part.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting device is configured to be mounted at an upper side of the frame.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first support part is positioned below the mounting portion.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is held in position by an elastic restoring force acting in a direction in which the third support part approaches the first support part.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the third support part rotatably coupled to the second support part.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first support part configured to support one of a front portion of the mobile device and a rear portion of the mobile device.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second support part is protruded from a lower portion of the first support part.

13. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the third support part is configured to support the other one of the front portion and the rear portion of the mobile device.

14. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises:

a front portion, wherein one end of the front portion contacts the screen display area;

a side portion connected to the other end of the front portion, inclined backward from the screen display area, and being larger than the front portion; and

a rear portion extending from the side portion toward a rear surface of the display module.

15. The display apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the mounting portion of the mounting device comprises:

a first contact part configured to contact the front portion of the frame;

a second contact part configured to contact the side portion of the frame; and

a third contact part configured to contact the rear portion of the frame, so that the mounting device is insert combined with the frame.

16. A mounting device configured to be coupled to a display module and configured to mount a mobile device, the mounting device comprising a mounting portion configured to receive a frame of the display module and an accommodating portion configured to accommodate the mobile device, wherein the accommodating portion includes:

a first support part,

a second support part extended from the first support part and nearly perpendicular to the first part, and

a third support part hinge-coupled to the second support part.

17. The mounting device according to claim 16 , wherein

the mounting device further comprises a non-slip member configured to prevent the mobile device mounted on the mounting device from slipping, and

the non-slip member is provided on the first support part or the third support part.

18. The mounting device according to claim 17 , wherein the non-slip member comprises a rubber material.

19. The mounting device according to claim 16 , wherein the mounting portion comprises:

a first contact part configured to contact a front portion of the frame, wherein the front portion contacts a screen display area of the display module;

a second contact part configured to contact a side portion of the frame; and

a third contact part configured to contact a rear portion of the frame, so that the mounting device is insert combined with the frame.
