Abstract

A display includes a display, a stand, and a connecting member arranged between the display and the stand. The connecting member guides the display to transition between a first position in which the display is in a first orientation, a second position in which the display moves in a vertical direction relative to the stand, and a third position in which the display is rotated to a second orientation.

Claims (65)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

a stand configured to support the display;

a connecting member configured to connect a rear of the display to the stand; and

a motor,

wherein the connecting member is configured to guide the display to move relative to the stand between:

a first position in which the display obscures the stand from view of a user of the display apparatus,

a second position in which the display is moved from the first position in a vertical direction relative to the stand and a lower portion of the stand is exposed to the view of the user of the display apparatus, and

a third position in which the display is rotated relative to the stand,

wherein the stand comprises a speaker arranged in the lower portion of the stand and a pair of guide rails arranged in the vertical direction,

wherein, in the first position, the display obscures the lower portion of the stand including the speaker from the view of the user of the display apparatus,

wherein in the second position and the third position, the display does not obscure the lower portion of the stand including the speaker from the view of the user of the display apparatus,

wherein the motor is configured to move the display from the first position to the second position and rotate the display from the second position to the third position,

wherein the connecting member comprises:

a knob coupled with one surface of the connecting member,

a vertical moving member coupled with the pair of guide rails and configured to move in the vertical direction; and

a rotating member that is rotatively coupled with the vertical moving member, wherein, the knob is arranged on a first surface of the rotating member, and the display is coupled on a second surface of the rotating member opposing the first surface, and

wherein the rotating member comprises:

a rotating part inserted into a rotation hole formed on the vertical moving member and configured to rotate; and

a coupling part formed integrally with the rotating part and to which the display is coupled.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connecting member comprises a knob coupled with one surface of the connecting member,

wherein the stand further comprises a guide member in which a guide slot into which the knob is inserted and moves is formed, and

wherein the guide slot comprises:

a first portion formed in the vertical direction to guide the display to move in the vertical direction relative to the stand; and

a second portion connected to an upper end of the first portion and configured to guide the display to rotate relative to the stand.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second portion is in form of an arc equal to or smaller than 180 degrees.

4. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein, in the first position, the knob is located in a lower end of the first portion,

wherein in the second position, the knob is located between the first portion and the second portion, and

wherein in the third position, the knob is located on a terminating end of the second portion.

5. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the pair of guide rails are arranged to constitute symmetry with the guide member at a center.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotating part and the vertical moving member are located on a same plane.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cable,

wherein the stand further comprises a driving board that provides images to the display, the cable connecting the display and the driving board, and

wherein the rotating part includes a wiring hole formed in a center portion of the rotating part, and the cable passes through the wiring hole.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a connecting ring arranged between the rotation hole and the rotating part and configured to connect the rotation hole and the rotating part.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the stand further comprises a driving part connected with the connecting member and configured to move the connecting member between the first position, the second position, and the third position, and

wherein the driving part comprises:

the motor; and

a driving belt connected with the motor, and arranged in parallel with the pair of guide rails.

10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the vertical moving member further comprises a belt insertion part arranged on one side thereof, and

wherein the driving belt is inserted into the belt insertion part and configured to move in the vertical direction.

11. The display apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising:

a belt coupling part coupled with the belt insertion part, and in which a coupling gear is formed, and

wherein the driving belt is coupled with the coupling gear, and the belt coupling part and the driving belt move integrally.

12. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the stand further comprises:

a frame member arranged along an edge of the stand; and

a supporting member connected with the frame member, and configured to support the connecting member in the first position.

13. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a height of the display is equal to or longer than a horizontal length of the display, and

the height of the display is the equal to or greater than a height of the stand.

14. A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

a stand;

a connecting member configured to connect a rear of the display to the stand, wherein the connecting member is configured to guide the display to move relative to the stand between a first position in which the display obscures the stand from view of a user of the display apparatus, a second position in which the display is moved from the first position in a vertical direction relative to the stand and a lower portion of the stand is exposed to the view of the user of the display apparatus, and a third position in which the display is rotated relative to the stand, wherein the connecting member is configured to guide the display to move relative to the stand between the first and the second position in which the display is oriented in a vertical orientation and the third position in which the display is oriented in a horizontal orientation;

a motor coupled to the connecting member and configured to move the display from the first position to the second position and rotate the display from the second position to the third position; and

a processor configured to detect an orientation of a content to be displayed on the display and control the motor to drive the display to be guided by the connecting member to the vertical orientation in the first and the second position or the horizontal orientation in the third position based on the orientation of the content to be displayed,

wherein the stand comprises a speaker arranged in the lower portion of the stand,

wherein, in the first position, the display obscures the lower portion of the stand including the speaker from the view of the user of the display apparatus,

wherein in the second position and the third position, the display does not obscure the lower portion of the stand including the speaker is from the view of the user of the display apparatus,

wherein the connecting member comprises a knob coupled with one surface of the connecting member,

wherein the stand further comprises a guide member in which a guide slot into which the knob is inserted and moves is formed, and

wherein the guide slot comprises:

a first portion formed in the vertical direction to guide the display to move in the vertical direction relative to the stand; and
