Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a display panel; a rear support member at a rear of the display panel and including a stud protruding rearward; a stand configured to be coupled to the rear support member and including a key hole into which the stud is inserted in a first direction, wherein the stand is configured to be moved in a second direction relative to the stud; and a holder configured to be coupled to the stand and move the stand in the second direction so that the stud inserted into the key hole is locked in the key hole.

Claims (46)

1 . A display apparatus comprising:

a display panel;

a rear support member at a rear of the display panel and comprising a stud protruding rearward;

a stand configured to be coupled to the rear support member and comprising a key hole into which the stud is inserted in a first direction, wherein the stand is configured to be moved in a second direction relative to the stud; and

a holder configured to be coupled to the stand and move the stand in the second direction so that the stud inserted into the key hole is locked in the key hole,

wherein the holder is configured to be touchable and movable by a user.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rear support member comprises a reaction rib protruding toward the holder,

wherein the holder comprises an action rib at a position corresponding to the reaction rib,

wherein the action rib is configured to press one side of the reaction rib in the second direction by rotation of the holder, and

wherein the stand is configured to move in the second direction while the action rib presses the reaction rib by the rotation of the holder.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the holder is configured to rotate between a first position in which the action rib presses the reaction rib and a second position in which the action rib does not press the reaction rib.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the action rib protrudes toward the reaction rib and does not press an opposite side of the second direction of the key hole when the holder is in the first position.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the holder further comprises a pressing protrusion protruding toward the rear support member and pressing the rear support member toward the front when the holder is in the first position.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the rear support member comprises:

a rear cover at the rear of the display panel; and

a rear chassis between the rear cover and the display panel and supporting the display panel from the rear, and

wherein the stud is coupled to the rear chassis so that the rear chassis supports the stand.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the stud comprises:

a first stud; and

a second stud below the first stud,

wherein the reaction rib is between the first stud and the second stud, and

wherein a distance between the reaction rib and the first stud is equal or substantially similar to a distance between the reaction rib and the second stud.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the rear chassis comprises a rear chassis body,

wherein the stud comprises:

a head positioned at an end in the first direction; and

a neck extending from the head toward the rear chassis body and having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the head, and

wherein the key hole comprises:

a first hole having a diameter larger than the diameter of the head; and

a second hole extending from the first hole and having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the head and larger than the diameter of the neck.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the stand comprises a guide protrusion protruding upward from an upper surface of the stand, and

wherein the rear cover comprises a guide groove at a position corresponding to the guide protrusion and into which the guide protrusion is inserted.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the stand comprises a guide hook extending forward from a front surface of the stand and then extending to be bent toward an upper side of the stand,

wherein the rear cover comprises a guide hook groove at a position corresponding to the guide hook, and

wherein the guide hook is inserted into the guide hook groove.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the holder further comprises an insertion protrusion protruding toward the rear cover when in the first position, and

wherein the stand further comprises an insertion hole into which the insertion protrusion is inserted to fix the holder when the holder is in the first position.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the reaction rib comprises:

a first portion extending in a lateral direction; and

a second portion spaced apart from the first portion in the lateral direction and extending in the lateral direction.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the stud comprises:

a first stud on a left side; and

a second stud symmetrical to the first stud.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second direction is an upward direction,

wherein the stand further comprises a stand coupling part coupled to the rear cover, and

wherein the rear cover comprises a stand recess that is recessed forward and having a shape corresponding to the stand coupling part.

15 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the holder is configured to be moved from the second position to the first position by being rotated upward and moved from the first position to the second position by being rotated downward.
