AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012] Incised holes may be formed on portions on which the first and second rotating parts are hinge-coupled so that the connection cable can be smoothly moved when the connection cable passes through the hinge-coupled portions of the first and second rotating parts.

[0014] A first waterproof packing may be tightly interposed between the first fixing bracket and the display device to prevent water from penetrating into the display device, and a second waterproof packing may be tightly interposed between the second fixing bracket and the accommodating part to prevent water from penetrating into the accommodating part.

Problems solved by technology

However, once the television set is installed, it is not generally possible to change its position and direction, causing inconvenience to viewers watching the television set.

Further, in case the television set is installed in the kitchen or bath, an extra space for the television set is required, and the kitchen or bath looks smaller due to the television set.

On the other hand, when the television set is installed in a humid area such as the kitchen or bath, electric circuit components constituting the television set may be damaged due to water penetrating into the television set.
