Abstract

Provided is a display apparatus having a structure excellent in workability upon installation. The display apparatus includes: a display section; and a supporting structure that is to be mounted on a wall surface and supports the display section. The supporting structure includes a support that supports the display section from below in a vertical direction, and an inclination adjusting mechanism provided at the support and configured to adjust an inclination of the display section with respect to the vertical direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A supporting structure that is to be mounted on a wall surface and configured to support a display section, the supporting structure comprising:
a support configured to support the display section from below in a vertical direction;
an inclination adjusting mechanism provided at the support and configured to adjust an inclination of the display section with respect to the vertical direction;
a contacting member configured to be in contact with a lower surface of the display section; and
a biasing member provided at the support and biases the contacting member upward in the vertical direction.

2. The supporting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination adjusting mechanism includes a lifting member configured to push the display section up from the below.

3. The supporting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination adjusting mechanism is provided in vicinity of each of both ends in a horizontal direction of the display section.

4. A display apparatus comprising:
a display section; and
a supporting structure that is to be mounted on a wall surface and supports the display section, wherein
the supporting structure includes
a support that supports the display section from below in a vertical direction,
an inclination adjusting mechanism provided at the support and configured to adjust an inclination of the display section with respect to the vertical direction,
a contacting member that is in contact with a lower surface of the display section, and
a biasing member that is provided at the support and biases the contacting member upward in the vertical direction.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising a front-rear direction adjusting member configured to adjust a distance between the wall surface and the display section.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the inclination adjusting mechanism includes a lifting member configured to push the display section up from the below.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the inclination adjusting mechanism is provided in vicinity of each of both ends in a horizontal direction of the display section.

8. A display apparatus comprising:
a display section; and
a supporting structure that is to be mounted on a wall surface and supports the display section, wherein
the supporting structure includes
a support that supports the display section from below in a vertical direction, and
an inclination adjusting mechanism provided at the support and configured to adjust an inclination of the display section with respect to the vertical direction, wherein

the display section has a stack structure in which a light guide member, a liquid crystal display panel, and a backlight unit are stacked in order, and
the inclination adjusting mechanism includes a lifting member configured to push, out of the display section, the light guide member up from the below.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a contacting member that is in contact with, out of the display section, a lower surface of the backlight unit; and
a biasing member that is provided at the support and biases the contacting member upward in the vertical direction.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a base member configured to be attached to the wall surface and having a retaining part; and
a retaining member provided on a rear surface of the display section and retained by the retaining part of the base member.

11. A display apparatus comprising:
a display section;
a supporting structure that is to be mounted on a wall surface and supports the display section, wherein
the supporting structure includes
a support that supports the display section from below in a vertical direction, and
an inclination adjusting mechanism provided at the support and configured to adjust an inclination of the display section with respect to the vertical direction;

a first display section and a second display section that are adjacent to each other and serve as the display section; and
a position adjusting mechanism configured to adjust a position of a display surface of the first display section and a position of a display surface of the second display section.
