Abstract

A sliding display apparatus comprises a display panel including first to fourth side surfaces, a case configured to accommodate the display panel, a cover configured to cover an opened upper surface of the case and including a hole provided at one side thereof, a wire driving part connected to at least one wire connected to a lower surface of the display panel, and a sliding controlling part configured to control the wire driving part, and an upper portion of the display panel is exposed through the hole provided at the cover.

Claims (52)

1. A sliding display apparatus, comprising:

a display panel including a panel configured to display an image and a back plate disposed at a lower surface of the panel;

a case configured to accommodate the display panel;

a cover configured to cover an opened upper surface of the case and including a hole provided at one side thereof;

a wire driving part connected to a first wire and a second wire connected to a lower surface of the display panel; and

a sliding controlling part configured to control the wire driving part,

wherein an upper portion of the display panel is exposed through the hole provided at the cover, and

wherein the first wire and the second wire are wound around the wire driving part.

2. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, when the wire driving part pulls the first wire and the second wire, the display panel is configured to come up in an upward direction of the case through the hole.

3. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display panel is disposed at a lower surface of the case and in parallel with the lower surface.

4. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first fixing part connected to the first wire, the first fixing part disposed at one side of a lower surface of the back plate; and

a second fixing part connected to the second wire, wherein the second fixing part is disposed at another side of the lower surface of the back plate.

5. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the wire driving part comprises:

a first rotation part disposed at one side of an inner portion of the case and connected to the first wire; and

a second rotation part disposed at another side of the inner portion of the case and connected to the second wire, and

wherein each of the first rotation part and the second rotation part is a motor.

6. The sliding display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first wire is wound around the first rotation part or is unwound from the first rotation part, and the second wire is wound around the second rotation part or is unwound from the second rotation part.

7. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising at least one transport roller disposed at a lower wall of the case and configured to support the display panel.

8. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first wire is connected to one side of a lower surface of the display panel, and

wherein the second wire is connected to another side of the lower surface of the display panel.

9. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one first guide roller disposed at one side of an inner portion of the case to guide the first wire; and

at least one second guide roller disposed at another side of the inner portion of the case to guide the second wire.

10. The sliding display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the display panel includes a first side surface, a second side surface, a third side surface, and a fourth side surface,

wherein the first side surface is disposed in the upper portion of the display panel,

wherein the second side surface faces the first side surface,

wherein the third side surface is disposed between the first side surface and the second side surface, and

wherein the fourth side surface faces the third side surface.

11. The sliding display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one first guide roller guides the first wire and the third side surface; and

wherein the at least one second guide roller guides the second wire and the fourth side surface.

12. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a roller disposed adjacent to a first sidewall of the case and implemented to be rotatable on a second sidewall and a third sidewall of the case connected to both sides of the first sidewall,

wherein the hole is disposed adjacent to the first sidewall and disposed along the roller.

13. The sliding display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the display panel is configured to come up from the hole through a space between the first sidewall of the case and the roller.

14. The sliding display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a link guide disposed at a rear surface of an upper portion exposed through the hole of the display panel and in parallel with the hole;

a first link disposed at a first region of a first sidewall adjacent to the hole among the case; and

a second link disposed at a second region of the first sidewall.

15. The sliding display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein one side of the first link is configured to be rotatable at the first region of the first sidewall,

wherein one side of the second link is configured to be rotatable at the second region of the first sidewall,

wherein another side of the first link is connected to the link guide, and

wherein another side of the second link is connected to the link guide.

16. The sliding display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein another side of the first link and another side of the second link are disposed to face each other at the link guide, and

wherein another side of the first link and another side of the second link move along the link guide.

17. The sliding display apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising:

a first link bar configured to be rotatable at another side of the first link;

a second link bar configured to be rotatable at another side of the second link; and

a groove at the link guide,

wherein the first link bar is accommodated into the groove of the link guide, and the second link bar is accommodated into the groove of the link guide.

18. The sliding display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the first sidewall comprises a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first region and the second region, and

wherein the link guide is supported by the third region.

19. A device having a flat structure into which the sliding display apparatus of claim 1 is embedded.
