Abstract

The display apparatus includes a display unit configured to display content, the display unit having a first accommodating portion being depressed in a rear surface of the display unit, the first accommodating portion configured to accommodate a first portion of a cable connected to the display unit, a first guide portion depressed in the rear surface of the display unit, the first guide portion, into which a second portion different from the first portion of the cable is inserted, the first guide portion configured to guide the second portion of the cable from the first accommodating portion to a side of the display unit; and a stand detachably coupled to the display unit and configured to support the display unit on a mounting surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display apparatus, comprising:
a display unit configured to display content, the display unit having a first accommodating portion being depressed in a rear surface of the display unit, the first accommodating portion configured to accommodate a first portion of a cable connected to the display unit; a first guide portion depressed in the rear surface of the display unit, the first guide portion, into which a second portion different from the first portion of the cable is inserted, the first guide portion configured to guide the second portion of the cable from the first accommodating portion to a side of the display unit; and a stand detachably coupled to the display unit and configured to support the display unit on a mounting surface.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the stand comprises:
a first supporting member configured to support the display unit, the first supporting member extending in a first direction from the display unit and configured to pivot on the display unit; and a second supporting member configured to support the display unit, the second supporting member extending in a second direction opposite to the first direction from the display unit or overlapping with the first supporting member to support the display unit with the first supporting member by extending in the first direction.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the stand is made with transparent material.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the stand is configured to be set to:
a first stand mode to allow the display unit to be placed on a floor; a second stand mode to allow the display unit to be disposed on the floor and brought close to a wall or brought in contact with the wall; and a wall mounted mode to allow the display unit to be hung on the wall and brought close to a wall and brought in contact with the wall.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the first supporting member is configured to support the display unit by being extending in the first direction, and wherein the second supporting member is configured to support the display unit by extending in the second direction, in response to the stand being set in the first stand mode.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the second supporting member is accommodated in the first supporting member and is configured to support the display unit by extending the first direction together with the first supporting member, in response to the stand being set in the second stand mode.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the second supporting member is accommodated in the first supporting member and is directed to a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction together with the first supporting member, in response to the stand being set in the wall mounted mode.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second supporting member is rotatably coupled to the first supporting member.

9 . The display apparatus claim 2 , wherein:
the stand includes a connecting member having a fixing portion to which the first supporting member is rotatably coupled, the fixing portion being fixed to the display unit, and the first supporting member includes a rotation restricting portion configured to guide rotation of the first supporting member.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first supporting member includes a supporting member accommodating portion provided on a lower surface of the first supporting member and configured to accommodate the second supporting member in response to the second supporting member overlapping the first supporting member.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first supporting member includes a coupling groove to which the second supporting member is rotatably coupled, the coupling groove being provided in the supporting member accommodating portion.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the first guide portion is configured to guide the cable to the stand provided on the lower side of the display unit, and the stand includes a second guide portion configured to guide the cable guided by the first guide portion to a lower portion of the stand.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first accommodating portion and the first guide portion is configured to have a minimum depth corresponding to a thickness of the cable.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first guide portion includes an escape preventing portion protruding from an inner surface of the first guide portion, the escape preventing portion configured to prevent the cable from escaping out of the first guide portion.

15 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display unit includes a side frame made with a transparent material.

16 . A display unit, comprising:
a frame; a first accommodating portion having a connector configured to be connected to a cable, the first accommodating portion being formed on a rear surface to accommodate a first portion of the cable connected to the connector; a second accommodating portion formed at an upper portion of the rear surface to accommodate a wall mount; and a first guide portion provided on the rear surface to insert a second portion different from the first portion of the cable, the first guide portion provided to guide the second portion of the cable from the first accommodating portion to a side of the frame, wherein a remaining portion of the rear surface other than portions of the rear surface where the first accommodating portion, the second accommodating portion, and the first guide portion are formed is in contact with a wall or in proximity of the wall when the display unit is mounted on the wall.

17 . The display unit of claim 16 , wherein the first guide portion includes a groove depressed in the rear surface.

18 . The display unit of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the first accommodating portion and the first guide portion is configured to have a minimum depth corresponding to the thickness of the cable.

19 . The display unit of claim 16 , wherein the first guide portion includes an escape preventing portion protruding from an inner surface of the first guide portion, the escape preventing portion configured to prevent the cable from escaping out of the first guide portion.

20 . The display unit of claim 16 , wherein the frame is made with a transparent material.
