Abstract

A display device includes a display main body having a housing having an opening formed through the front surface and a display unit attached to the housing to close the opening and displaying an image, a stand base placed on a mounting surface, and at least one support connected to the display main body at one end and connected to the stand base at the other end, in which the support includes a cable inputting/outputting power or signals to/from the display main body and a coating covering the cable.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a display main body having a housing having an opening formed through the front surface and a display unit attached to the housing to close the opening and displaying an image;
a stand base placeable on a mounting surface; and
a support connected to the display main body at one end and connected to the stand base at the other end,
wherein the support includes a cable inputting/outputting power or signals to/from the display main body and a coating covering the cable,
wherein the coating includes an inner coating covering the cable and an outer coating covering an outer circumferential surface of the inner coating, in which the inner coating is formed of a first material and the outer coating is formed of a second material which is different from said first material,
wherein when facing the display unit the support has a left-right width which is larger than a front-back width, and in which the left-right width has a value of 12 milli-meters or less and the front-back width has a value of 9 milli-meters or less except at an end of the support connected to the display main body, and
wherein the support has a length between the display main body and the stand base within a range of 300 millimeters to 900 millimeters.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the end of the support is connected to the center portion in the left-right direction of the display main body.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein one end of the support is connected to the lower surface of the display main body.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of one end of the support increases toward the display main body.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional support.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing of the display main body and the outer coating of the support are integrally formed.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the stand base and the coating of the support are integrally formed.

8. A display device comprising:
a display main body having a housing having an opening formed through the front surface and a display unit attached to the housing to close the opening and displaying an image;
an attachment base attached to a ceiling or a wall; and
a support connected to the display main body at one end and connected to the attachment base at the other end,
wherein the support includes a cable inputting/outputting power or signals to/from the display main body and a coating covering the cable,
wherein the coating includes an inner coating covering the cable and an outer coating covering an outer circumferential surface of the inner coating, in which the inner coating is formed of a first material and the outer coating is formed of a second material which is different from said first material,
wherein when facing the display unit the support has a left-right width which is larger than a front-back width, and in which the left-right width has a value of 12 milli-meters or less and the front-back width has a value of 9 milli-meters or less except at an end of the support connected to the display main body, and
wherein the support has a length within a range of 300 millimeters to 900 millimeters.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the end of the support is connected to the center portion in the left-right direction of the display main body.

10. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the end of the support is connected to the upper surface or the lower surface of the display main body.

11. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the thickness of one end of the support increases toward the display main body.

12. The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising at least one additional support.

13. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the housing of the display main body and the coating of the support are integrally formed.

14. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the attachment base and the coating of the support are integrally formed.

15. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein said second material, used for forming the outer coating which covers the outer circumferential surface of the inner coating, includes an unidirectional (UD) material which is aligned in only one direction as a carbon fiber used as a reinforcing material contained in resin used as a base material.

16. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein said second material, used for forming the outer coating which covers the outer circumferential surface of the inner coating, includes an unidirectional (UD) material which is aligned in only one direction as a carbon fiber used as a reinforcing material contained in resin used as a base material.

17. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display main body has a weight of 12 kilograms.

18. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the display main body has a weight of 12 kilograms.
