Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a display panel; a housing provided to receive the display panel and comprising a rear cover; a rotation device coupled to a rear side of the rear cover and configured to rotate the housing; a cable provided on the rear side of the rear cover and configured to be connected to a first electrical component in the housing; a first guide holder configured to be detachable from the rear side of the rear cover and to guide and hold the cable, and a second guide holder fixed to the rotation device and configured to guide and hold the cable.

Claims (46)

1 . A display apparatus comprising:

a display panel;

a housing comprising a rear cover and configured to receive the display panel;

a rotation device coupled to a rear side of the rear cover and configured to rotate the housing;

a cable provided on the rear side of the rear cover and configured to be connected to a first electrical component in the housing;

a first guide holder attached to the rear side of the rear cover and configured to movably guide the cable and hold the cable; and

a second guide holder fixed to the rotation device and configured to guide and hold the cable.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rear cover comprises a connector portion configured to allow the cable to be connected to the first electrical component in the housing, and

wherein the cable is sequentially connected the connector portion, the first guide holder, and the second guide holder to an outside of the display apparatus.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first guide holder is attached to the rear cover, and the second guide holder is below the rotation device in a vertical direction of the rear cover.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the rotation device is coupled to a central portion of the rear cover, and

wherein a rotation axis of the rotation device is located at an angle of 45 degrees from the first guide holder based on a horizontal axis.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the housing is configured to be arranged in a first mode in a state in which a long side of the housing extends in a first direction and a short side of the housing extends in a second direction,

wherein the housing is further configured to be arranged in a second mode in a state in which the long side of the housing extends in the second direction and the short side of the housing extends in the first direction, and

wherein the housing is configured to rotate from the first mode to the second mode and from the second mode to the first mode.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the connector portion is formed in the central portion of the rear cover and configured to be covered by the rotation device.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the connector portion is a first connector portion, and

wherein the rear cover further comprises a second connector portion formed on a lateral side of the first connector portion.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the cable is a first cable, and

wherein the display apparatus further comprises a second cable connected to a second electrical component in the housing and sequentially connected to the second connector portion, the first guide holder, and the second guide holder to the outside of the display apparatus.

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

a coupling bracket coupled to the rotation device and the rear cover and configured to couple the rotation device to the rear cover.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the coupling bracket comprises the first guide holder, and

wherein the first guide holder has an angle of 45 degrees relative to a central portion of the rear cover and a horizontal axis.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first guide holder comprises:

an adhesive member attached to a rear wall of the rear cover; and

a mounting member mounted on the adhesive member, and

wherein the adhesive member comprises an extension extending toward the mounting member and configured to enable the cable to be wound between the adhesive member and the mounting member.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second guide holder comprises:

a case coupled to the rotation device and configured to accommodate the cable, and

a cover coupled to the case and configured to cover the cable accommodated in the case.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the case comprises:

a receiving portion configured to receive the cable passing through the first guide holder,

a winding portion protruding from the receiving portion toward the cover and configured to enable the cable to be wound, and

a lower hole opened in a lower portion of the case and configured to enable the cable wound on the winding portion to be connected to the outside of the display apparatus.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a coupling bracket coupled to the rotation device and the rear cover and configured to couple the rotation device to the rear cover,

wherein the rotation device comprises:

a drive motor,

a plurality of gears interlocked with the drive motor, and

a rotating holder configured to rotate together with the coupling bracket.

15 . The display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the rotation device comprises:

a first case coupled to the rotating holder and configured to receive the drive motor, the plurality of gears, and the rotating holder; and

a second case coupled to a rear side of the first case.

16 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first guide holder is configured to be detachable from the rear side of the rear cover.

17 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first guide holder is configured to guide the cable such that the cable is wound at least once such that portions of the cable overlap.

18 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second guide holder is configured to guide the cable such that the cable is wound at least once such that portions of the cable overlap.
