Abstract

A display device includes: at least two mount members fixable to a wall in a row; and at least two display panels coupleable to the at least two mount members, respectively, and slidable along the at least two mount members. The at least two display panels respectively include: a base; a docking plate, coupleable to a front of the base, having a front surface to which a plurality of display modules of the at least two display panels are coupleable; and a step adjustment member, arrangeable on the base, and so that the docking plate which is coupled to the front of the base is moveable along a front direction or a rear direction of the base to change a distance between the docking plate and the base and adjust front surfaces of adjacent display panels, among the at least two display panels, relative to each other.

Claims (44)

1 . A display device, comprising:

at least two mount members fixable to a wall in a row; and

at least two display panels, coupleable to the at least two mount members, respectively, and while the at least two display panels are respectively coupled to the at least two mount members, the at least two display panels are slidable along the at least two mount members,

wherein the at least two display panels respectively include:

a base;

a docking plate, coupleable to a front of the base, having a front surface to which a plurality of display modules of the at least two display panels are coupleable; and

a step adjustment member, arrangeable on the base, and while the step adjustment member is arranged on the base, the docking plate which is coupled to the front of the base is moveable along a front direction or a rear direction of the base to change a distance between the docking plate and the base and adjust front surfaces of adjacent display panels, among the at least two display panels, relative to each other,

wherein the step adjustment member comprises a pushing member, the pushing member being among at least one of pushing members arrangeable in a left area and a right area of the base.

2 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step adjustment member further comprises:

a ball screw arrangeable along a longitudinal direction of the base, and

wherein the pushing member is configured to adjust the distance between the docking plate and the base as a bending angle changes in interlocking with rotation of the ball screw along a first direction or in a second direction in reverse of the first direction.

3 . The display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the pushing member includes:

a first link hinged to the base; and

a second link having one end hinged to an end of the first link and another end hinged to a movable member movable along the ball screw.

4 . The display device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein as the ball screw of the step adjustment member rotates in the first direction, an angle between the first link and the second link decreases so that a connection part between the first link and the second link protrudes toward the docking plate, and

as the ball screw rotates in the second direction, the angle between the first link and the second link increases so that the connection part between the first link and the second link moves toward the base.

5 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pushing member and the at least one pushing members are among two pushing members arrangeable at different heights from a lower end of the base along a left area of the base, and

the step adjustment member includes two pushing members arrangeable at different heights from the lower end of the base along a right area of the base.

6 . The display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein one pushing member of two pushing members is arrangeable along the left area of the base at a same height as one pushing member of two pushing members arrangeable along the right area of the base, and

another pushing member of the two pushing members is arrangeable along the left area of the base at a same height as another pushing member of the two pushing members arrangeable along the right area of the base.

7 . The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the two pushing members arrangeable along the left area of the base are spaced apart from a left end of the base by a same distance, and

the two pushing members arrangeable along the right area of the base are spaced apart from a right end of the base by a same distance.

8 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pushing member and the at least one pushing members are among:

first, second, and third pushing members arrangeable at different heights from a lower end of the base along the left area of the base,

fourth, fifth, and sixth pushing members arrangeable at different heights from the lower end of the base along the left area of the base, and

the first and fourth pushing members arrangeable at positions corresponding to a half length of the base from the lower end of the base.

9 . The display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the second and third pushing members are arrangeable at a same distance from the first pushing member to upper and lower sides of the first pushing member, and

the fifth and sixth pushing members are arrangeable at a same distance from the fourth pushing member to the upper and lower sides of the first pushing member.

10 . The display device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first pushing member is spaced apart from a left end of the base by a first distance,

the second and third pushing members are spaced apart from the left end of the base by a second distance longer than the first distance,

the fourth pushing member is spaced apart from a right end of the base by a third distance equal to the first distance, and

the fifth and sixth pushing members are spaced apart from the right end of the base by a fourth distance longer than the third distance.

11 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , the pushing member and the at least one pushing members are among:

a first group including a plurality of pushing members arrangeable at different heights from a lower end of the base along the left area of the base; and

a second group including a plurality of pushing members arrangeable at different heights from the lower end of the base in the right area of the base,

wherein the plurality of pushing members of the first group and the plurality of pushing members of the second group are symmetrically arrangeable with respect to a center of the base.

12 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a guide member configured to connect the at least two mount members in a row.

13 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one mount member among the at least two mount members includes a pair of gap adjustment members protruding or retracting from a rear surface of the at least one mount member on left and right sides of the rear surface.

14 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a guide member configured to connect side ends of the at least two display panels,

wherein the guide member includes:

an accommodating member arrangeable inside a side end of one display panel of the at least two display panels; and

a guide bar arrangeable to protrude from a side end of another display panel of the at least two display panels and be separably insertable into the accommodating member.
