Abstract

A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a display main body of which at least one sound output unit is disposed in a lower end, a fixing unit separately coupled to a rear surface of the display main body, and a stand unit of which a posture is changed according to a stand mode and a wall mount mode with respect to the display main body. The stand unit supports the display main body with respect to a ground in the stand mode, and guides sound output from the sound output unit to a front of the display main body in the wall mount mode.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display apparatus comprising:
a display main body; at least one sound output unit disposed in a lower portion of the display main body; a fixing unit separately coupled to a rear surface of the display main body; and a stand unit to be fixed to the fixing unit, a posture of the stand unit is changed according to one of a stand mode and a wall mount mode of the display apparatus with respect to the display main body, wherein the stand unit supports the display main body with respect to a ground in the stand mode, and guides sound output from the sound output unit to a front of the display main body in the wall mount mode.

2 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a lower portion of the stand unit is downwardly tilted when the display apparatus is in the wall mount mode.

3 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stand unit is coupled to the fixing unit when the display apparatus is in the stand mode, and is coupled to the display main body when the display apparatus is in the wall mount mode.

4 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the stand unit includes:
a pillar part of which one end is separately coupled to the fixing unit when the display apparatus is in the stand mode or the display main body when the display apparatus is in the wall mount mode; and a plate-shaped supporting part formed to extend from the other end of the pillar part to support a weight of the display main body.

5 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the supporting part is disposed in parallel to the lower portion of the display main body.

6 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the pillar part includes a first coupling part and a second coupling part separately coupled to the fixing unit when the display apparatus is the stand mode or a portion of the display main body when the display apparatus is the wall mount mode.

7 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein one of the first coupling part and the second coupling part has a protrusion shape and the other one of the first coupling part and the second coupling part has a groove shape.

8 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the pillar part includes a plurality of first coupling parts and a plurality of second coupling parts.

9 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the fixing unit or the display main body includes a third coupling part and a fourth coupling part to be coupled to the first coupling part and the second coupling part.

10 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the pillar part is coupled to the display main body by a plurality of fasteners.

11 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the stand unit further includes a first extension part and a second extension part extension extending from both sides of the supporting part, and
the first extension part and the second extension part are bent or curved to collect or reflect the sound output from the sound output unit to a front of the display main body in the wall mount mode.

12 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the first and second extension parts have lengths about 0.05 to 0.2 times a length of the stand unit.

13 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing unit further includes a coupling part to be fixed to a wall when the display apparatus is in the wall mount mode.

14 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing unit protrudes from the rear surface of the display main body so that the stand unit is to be spaced from a wall when the display apparatus is in the wall mount mode.

15 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an upper portion of the stand unit is rotatably hinge-coupled to the display main body.

16 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the stand unit is fixed and supported by the fixing unit in a non-rotation state when the display apparatus is in the stand mode.

17 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising:
a fixing groove formed in a surface of the pillar part of the stand unit; an elastic stopper which gets into and gets out of a surface facing the fixing groove of the pillar part of the stand unit in a lower portion of the display main body by an elastic member.

18 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the fixing unit is separately coupled to a lower portion of the rear surface of the display main body when the display apparatus is in the stand mode, and is separately coupled to an upper portion of the rear surface of the display main body when the display apparatus is in the wall mount mode.

19 . A display apparatus comprising:
a display main body; at least one sound output unit disposed in a lower portion of the display main body; a fixing unit separately coupled to the display main body; and a stand unit configured to indirectly support the display main body through the fixing unit, wherein the stand unit is coupled to the display main body by the fixing unit and supports the display main body with respect to a ground when the display apparatus is in a stand mode, and the stand unit is fixed to the display main body at a preset angle and guides sound output from the sound output unit to a front of the display main body when the display apparatus is in a wall mount mode.

20 . A display apparatus comprising:
a display main body; at least one sound output unit disposed in a lower portion of the display main body; a fixing unit separately coupled to the display main body; and a stand unit configured to directly support the display main body and rotatably hinge-coupled to the display main body, wherein the stand unit is fixed to the display main body by the fixing unit and supports the display main body with respect to a ground when the display apparatus is in a stand mode, and the stand unit is rotated at a preset angle and guides sound output from the sound output unit to a front of the display main body when the display apparatus is in a wall mount mode.
