Abstract

A display device includes: a display module; a frame positioned at the rear side of the display module; a displacement control unit which is positioned between the display module and the frame and of which a position in a front/rear direction on the frame changes according to a rotational direction thereof; a rotating magnet rotatably coupled to the rear surface of the display module and attached to the displacement control unit, wherein when the rotating magnet rotates, the displacement control unit rotates and moves in the front/rear direction. According to the display device, a height difference between display modules arranged adjacent to each other can be easily adjusted.

Claims (38)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display module;

a frame located behind the display module;

a displacement adjustment unit rotatably coupled to a front surface of the frame and changing a back-and-forth position on the front surface of the frame according to a rotation direction; and

a rotating magnet rotatably coupled to a rear surface of the display module and attached to the displacement adjustment unit,

wherein the displacement adjustment unit includes:

a body part in which a spiral fastened to the frame is formed; and

a head part located at an end of the body part and having a magnetic material coupled to the rotating magnet, and

wherein, when the rotating magnet rotates, the displacement adjustment unit rotates and moves in a back-and-forth direction on the front surface of the frame.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the rotating magnet has a disk shape with a center in which a hole is formed; and

wherein the display device includes a non-magnetic fastener disposed through the hole of the rotating magnet and coupled to a rear surface of the display module.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the rotating magnet has N poles and S poles alternately arranged along a circumference of a disk.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein the rotating magnet includes one of 4 poles, 6 poles, or 8 poles.

5 . The display device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a magnetic rod coupled to the rotating magnet by magnetic force when placed at a position of a front surface of the display module, which corresponds to the rotating magnet.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein the magnetic rod has S poles and N poles alternately arranged along an outer peripheral surface corresponding to poles of the rotating magnet.

7 . The display device of claim 5 , further comprising:

a guide panel disposed on a front surface of the display module and indicating a position of the rotating magnet to guide a position of the magnet rod.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein:

the rotating magnet is disposed adjacent to a corner of the display module;

the guide panel includes an opening formed at a corner of the display module, which corresponds to a position of the rotating magnet; and

the magnet rod is coupled to the rotating magnet when placed in the opening.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the displacement adjustment unit includes a gear displacement adjustment unit having the head part with an outer peripheral surface on which a cog is formed.

10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display module further includes:

a display panel configured to output an image; and

a module cover coupled to a rear surface of the display panel; and

wherein the module cover includes a non-magnetic material.

11 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the rotating magnet is arranged on four corners and long sides of the display module.

12 . A display device comprising:

a display module;

a frame located behind the display module;

a displacement adjustment unit located between the display module and the frame and having a back-and-forth position that is changed on the frame according to a rotation direction; and

a rotating magnet rotatably coupled to a rear surface of the display module and attached to the displacement adjustment unit,

wherein, when the rotating magnet rotates, the displacement adjustment unit rotates and moves in a back-and-forth direction, and

wherein the displacement adjustment unit includes:

a body part in which a spiral fastened to the frame is formed;

a head part located at an end of the body part; and

a gear displacement adjustment unit having a cog formed on an outer peripheral surface of the head part.
