Abstract

A wall mount plate for a display apparatus is disclosed. For example, a wall mount plate for a display apparatus configured to fix the display apparatus onto a wall by use of magnetic force of a magnet is disclosed. Some of the disclosed examples are provided with the wall mount plate having a recess accommodating a magnet and configured to fix the display apparatus onto a wall by use of magnetic force of the magnet.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wall mount plate, comprising:
a rear surface configured to make contact with a wall; and
a recess provided in the wall mount plate, the recess accommodating a magnet, wherein the magnet has a thickness equal to a depth of the recess such that the magnet does not protrude beyond the surface of the wall mount plate,
wherein the wall mount plate is configured to contact a bottom chassis of a display apparatus provided at a front of the wall mount plate by a magnetic force of the magnet.

2. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein:
a lower end of the wall mount plate is configured to make contact with an upper end of a rear cover of the display apparatus.

3. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein:
the recess is provided at a position closer to the upper end of the wall mount plate.

4. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein:
a central point of the recess and a central point of the wall mount plate are different from each other.

5. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein:
a depth of the recess is less than a thickness of the wall mount plate.

6. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , further comprising:
a hole configured to receive a coupling member,
wherein the wall mount plate is configured to be fixed onto the wall by the coupling member passing through the hole.

7. The wall mount plate of claim 6 , wherein:
one of a virtual line, which is provided to connect corner points of the recess that are facing each other, and a virtual line, which is provided to connect corner points of the wall mount plate that are facing each other, passes through the hole.

8. The wall mount plate of claim 6 , wherein:
the recess and the hole are positioned to be spaced apart.

9. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein:
the recess is provided with one or more recesses.

10. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein:
the shape of the recess comprises one of a polygonal shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, or a freely formed shape.

11. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein:
a lower end of the wall mount plate is configured to make contact with an upper end of the rear cover of the display apparatus, said rear cover including a wall mount guide protruding in an upward direction.

12. The wall mount plate of claim 11 , wherein:
one side of the wall mount plate is configured to make contact with a side surface of the wall mount guide.

13. The wall mount plate of claim 11 , further comprising:
light radiating circuitry configured to emit light, and
the light radiating circuitry being coupled to a side surface of the wall mount plate.

14. The wall mount plate of claim 13 , wherein:
the light radiating circuitry is supplied with power from the display apparatus.

15. A wall mount plate, comprising:
a rear surface configured to make contact with a wall by a coupling member; and
a front surface provided with a recess to accommodate a magnet, said front surface configured to make contact with a bottom chassis of a display apparatus at a front of the wall mount plate by a magnetic force of the magnet,
wherein the magnet has a thickness substantially equal to a depth of the recess such that the magnet does not protrude beyond the surface of the wall mount plate.

16. A display apparatus configured to be fixed onto a wall, the display apparatus comprising:
a display panel configured to display contents; and
a bottom chassis facing a wall when the display apparatus is mounted on the wall,
wherein the bottom chassis is configured to make contact by magnetic force with a wall mount plate fixed onto the wall,
wherein the wall mount plate includes a recess provided in the wall mount plate, the recess accommodating a magnet, wherein the magnet has a thickness substantially equal to a depth of the recess such that the magnet does not protrude beyond the surface of the wall mount plate.

17. The display apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising:
a rear cover disposed at a rear of the bottom chassis so that the display apparatus makes contact with the wall mount plate when the display apparatus is mounted on the wall.

18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein:
the rear cover is configured to make contact with a lower end of the wall mount plate.

19. The display apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising:
at least one wall mount guide provided at a rear surface of the bottom chassis to guide a side surface of the wall mount plate fixed onto the wall.

20. The display apparatus of claim 16 , wherein:
the display apparatus is electrically connected to the wall mount plate fixed onto the wall.

21. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein the wall mount plate is rigid.

22. The wall mount plate of claim 1 , wherein said recess is a hole that extends through the wall plate.
