Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a display device and a mobile device including the display device, and more specifically, to a display device having a structure that effectively resists external impacts and a mobile device including the display device. Background Technology

[0002] The content described in this background section is only to provide background information about the content of this disclosure and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] As we enter a mature information age, display devices that visually represent electrical information signals have developed rapidly. In response, a variety of display devices with excellent performance, thinness, light weight, and low power consumption have been developed.

[0004] Display devices include liquid crystal displays (LCDs), quantum dot (QD) displays, field emission displays (FEDs), electrowetting displays (EWDs), and organic light-emitting diode (OLEDs).

[0005] The display device has been miniaturized, making it portable for users. It has been developed for installation on mobile devices such as vehicles. This allows users to more conveniently use display devices in vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0006] When a display device is installed on a mobile device (e.g., a vehicle, bicycle, airplane, etc.), the impact received from the outside due to movement will be transmitted to the display device.

[0007] Display devices may deform due to external impacts, or in severe cases, may be damaged by external impacts. Even when the external impact is relatively weak, the display device may be subjected to vibration due to such external impacts (e.g., movable devices).

[0008] When a display device vibrates due to external impact, users may experience discomfort while using it. If this vibration occurs for an extended period, it may cause malfunctions, failures, or damage to the display device.

[0009] In particular, the impact of external shocks may be greater in display devices with thin structures or displays with flexible, curved structures.

[0010] Therefore, when display devices are installed on mobile devices such as vehicles, it is necessary to manufacture display devices with structures that can stably withstand external impacts (e.g., external forces).

[0011] Therefore, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a display device having a structure capable of effectively resisting external impacts (e.g., external forces).

[0012] Furthermore, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a display device having a structure that can stably support the display in a display device with a flexible, bendable structure to resist external impacts (e.g., external forces).

[0013] Furthermore, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a display device with a structure that gives aesthetic appeal when viewed from the perspective of the display device.

[0014] The purpose of this disclosure is not limited to the objectives described above. Other unmentioned objectives and advantages of this disclosure can be understood based on the following description and will become clearer based on embodiments of this disclosure. Furthermore, it will be readily understood that the objectives and advantages of this disclosure can be achieved using the means set forth in the claims and combinations thereof.

[0015] The display device according to the embodiments may include a display and an apron. The display and the apron may be coupled to each other, and the display may be made of a flexible material that is deformable (e.g., elastically deformable and plastically deformable).

[0016] To accommodate at least a portion of each of the display and the enclosure, the display device may have a housing. When the display and the enclosure are lowered, at least a portion of each of the display and the enclosure bends and deforms into a curved shape when viewed from the side to be accommodated inside the housing.

[0017] The display device according to the embodiments may include a display, a enclosure, a housing, a base, a guide, and a movable support.

[0018] The display may be at least partially deformable (e.g., elastically deformable or plastically deformable). The display may be moved integrally with the enclosure by being attached to it.

[0019] The enclosure may be at least partially deformable, connectable to the display, and movable in a vertical direction (e.g., along a vertical axis) to change its externally exposed area (e.g., the enclosure may be movable along a vertical axis).

[0020] The housing can accommodate at least a portion of each of the display and the enclosure. At least a portion of each of the display and the enclosure is flexible and accommodated within the housing. Because the display and the enclosure are movable, the extent to which the display and the enclosure are accommodated within the housing can vary.

[0021] The base can be attached to the housing. The base can be partially attached to the housing to support the movement of the guide and the movable support.

[0022] One end of the movable support can be mounted on the enclosure and moved in a vertical direction (e.g., along a vertical axis), and the other end of the movable support can be mounted on the base and moved in a lateral direction (e.g., along a horizontal axis) relative to the base.

[0023] The movable support member supports the enclosure when it can move at one end (e.g., the first end of the movable support member) in the vertical direction of the display device and at the other end (e.g., the second end of the movable support member) in the front-back direction of the display device (e.g., the front-back direction crosses the vertical direction).

[0024] The base may include a first base portion and a second base portion. The first base portion may be coupled to a guide and to the top surface of the housing. A movable support may be movably coupled to the second base portion, and the second base portion may be coupled to the housing to surround at least a portion of the housing.

[0025] The second base portion may include a 2-1 base portion and a 2-2 base portion. The 2-1 base portion and the 2-2 base portion may be integrally manufactured (e.g., the 2-1 base portion and the 2-2 base portion may be integral so that they form a single integral component). The 2-1 base portion may cover at least a portion of the top surface of the housing, and the movable support member may be movably coupled to the 2-1 base portion. The 2-2 base portion may cover at least a portion of the rear of the housing and may extend from the 2-1 base portion.

[0026] The guide may include a first bracket, a second bracket, a third bracket, a movable part, and a reinforcing plate. The first bracket may be coupled to the enclosure and move with the enclosure. The first bracket may be rod-shaped (e.g., plate-shaped and / or curved plate-shaped and / or planar), configured such that its length direction is parallel to the left-right direction of the enclosure, and may be coupled to the upper part of the rear (e.g., rear surface) of the enclosure.

[0027] The second bracket can be connected to the first base portion. The second bracket may be rod-shaped (e.g., plate-shaped and / or planar), configured such that its length direction is parallel to the left-right direction of the enclosure, and can be connected to the top surface of the first base portion.

[0028] The second bracket may be connected to the first base portion. The third bracket may be formed to project upward from the second bracket. The third bracket may have a hollow portion defined therein, and a movable portion is mounted in the hollow portion (e.g., the third bracket may be hollow, such that the third bracket includes a hollow portion, a groove, or a hole such as a through hole).

[0029] The movable part may have one end (e.g., a first end) connected to the first bracket and insertable into the third bracket to be movable relative to the third bracket in a vertical direction (e.g., a vertical axis). The movable part may be inserted into the hollow portion (e.g., a hollow section) of the third bracket and may rise and fall relative to the third bracket.

[0030] To raise and lower the moving part, the display device may have a first motor and a first housing, with the first motor mounted on the first housing.

[0031] A first motor can be connected to the housing, and when the rotation shaft of the first motor is connected to the moving part, the movement of the moving part in the vertical direction can be controlled. A first housing can be connected to the housing, at least a portion of the first housing is exposed to the outside, and the first motor can be mounted on the first housing.

[0032] The movable support may include connectors, a first rod, and a second rod. The connectors and the first rods may each include a pair of connectors and a pair of first rods. The pair of connectors and the pair of first rods may be spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction of the enclosure.

[0033] The connector can be attached to the enclosure panel. The connector can be attached to the upper part behind the enclosure panel to rise and fall together with the enclosure panel. One end of the first rod (e.g., a first end) can be pivotally connected to the connector. For example, one end of the first rod can be hinged to the connector (e.g., the first rod can be hinged to the connector via a hinge). The second rod can be configured such that its length direction intersects the length direction of the first rod. The other end of the first rod (e.g., a second end) can be connected to the second rod, and the second rod can be movable on the 2-1 base portion.

[0034] The 2-1 base portion may further include a first guide, in which the second rod is movably mounted. The first guide may have a first slit (e.g., a slot, narrow opening, etc.) having a length direction in the direction of movement of the second rod and for inserting an end of the second rod therein.

[0035] The base portion 2-1 may further include a second guide, which is positioned spaced apart from the first guide, and the second rod is movably mounted in the second guide. The second guide may have a second slit (e.g., a slot, narrow opening, etc.) having a lengthwise direction in the direction of movement of the second rod and allowing the second rod to be inserted therein.

[0036] The display device may also include an operating component disposed on the 2-1 base portion and operating a second lever to move relative to the 2-1 base portion. The operating component may include a second motor, a second housing, and a rack and pinion assembly.

[0037] The second motor can be mounted on the 2-1 base portion, and can move on the 2-1 base portion along the moving direction of the second rod while rotating. A pinion gear can be mounted on the rotation axis of the second rod. The second housing can be equipped with the second motor, and the second housing can be connected to the second rod to move integrally with the second rod on the 2-1 base portion.

[0038] The rack and pinion assembly may have a rack connected to the second-first base portion, the rack being connected to a pinion, and the rack being configured such that its length direction is parallel to the direction of movement of the second rod. The rack and pinion assembly may be fixedly connected to the second-first base portion, and the second rod may be movable relative to the rack and pinion assembly.

[0039] The display device may include a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor may be disposed on the base portion 2-1 relatively close to the enclosure, and the first sensor may contact the second rod when the upper end of the enclosure reaches the highest vertical horizontal position to sense the position of the second rod (e.g., the highest vertical position).

[0040] The second sensor may be positioned on the 2-1 base portion at a location relatively far from the enclosure compared to the first sensor, and the second sensor may contact the second rod when the upper end of the enclosure reaches its lowest vertical horizontal position to sense the position of the second rod (e.g., the lowest vertical position). The first and second sensors may be positioned spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the 2-1 base portion. In this respect, the second rod may move forward and backward on the 2-1 base portion between the rear of the first sensor and the front of the second sensor.

[0041] The display device may further include a first stop and a second stop disposed on the 2-1 base portion. The first stop and the second stop are capable of rising and falling relative to the 2-1 base portion.

[0042] The first stop may be located on the 2-1 base portion at a position relatively close to the enclosure (e.g., the first stop may be closer to the enclosure than the second stop), and the first stop may contact the second rod when the upper end of the enclosure reaches the highest vertical horizontal position to restrict the movement of the second rod.

[0043] The second stop can be located on the base portion 2-1 at a position relatively far from the enclosure compared to the first stop, and the second stop can contact the second rod when the upper end of the enclosure reaches the lowest vertical horizontal position to restrict the movement of the second rod.

[0044] The display device may also include a cover. The cover is coupled to and movable with the first rod. The cover may cover at least a portion of the top surface of the display device when the upper end of the enclosure reaches its lowest vertical horizontal position.

[0045] One embodiment of the display device may include: a display that is at least partially deformable; a enclosure that is at least partially deformable, wherein the enclosure is coupled to the display and moves in a vertical direction (e.g., a vertical axis) to change the area of ​​it exposed to the outside; a housing for accommodating at least a portion of each of the display and the enclosure; a base coupled to the housing; a guide having one end mounted on the enclosure (e.g., a first end) and another end mounted on the base (e.g., a second end), wherein the guide moves the display and the enclosure in a vertical direction to change the externally exposed area of ​​each of the display and the enclosure; and a movable support having one end mounted on the enclosure for vertical movement (e.g., a first end) and another end mounted on the base for lateral movement relative to the base in a lateral direction (e.g., perpendicular to the vertical direction / vertical axis) (e.g., a second end).

[0046] In addition, a mobile device is provided, including: the display device; and a dashboard, the display device being mounted on the dashboard.

[0047] In the display device according to this disclosure, when the external exposed area of ​​the enclosure increases or decreases, the movable support moves accordingly, so that the enclosure and the display attached thereto are stably supported regardless of the increase or decrease of the external exposed area of ​​the enclosure, thereby effectively mitigating the impact and vibration of external shocks on the enclosure and the display device.

[0048] Therefore, users can always view images or videos in good image quality, and damage to display devices can be effectively prevented.

[0049] Furthermore, in the display device according to this disclosure, when the display device installed in the dashboard of a vehicle is not in use, the second unit of the cover can cover at least a portion of the upper part of the display device to prevent it from being exposed to the outside. Therefore, when the display device is installed in the dashboard of a vehicle, the external exposure of the display device can be minimized, thereby improving the aesthetic design of the display device.

[0050] The effects of this disclosure are not limited to those described above, and those skilled in the art will clearly understand other effects not mentioned through the following description.

[0051] The purpose, technical solution, and effects of this disclosure as described above do not specify the essential features of the claims. Therefore, the scope of the claims is not limited by the purpose, technical solution, and effects of the above disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0073] Figure 1 This is a perspective view showing a display device according to an embodiment. Figure 2 It is along the other direction Figure 1 Perspective view.

[0074] The display device according to the embodiment can be installed on a mobile device such as a vehicle to provide convenience to the user. Hereinafter, a display device installed on the dashboard 10 of a vehicle will be described as an example.

[0075] The display device according to the embodiments may include, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a quantum dot (QD) display, a field emission display (FED), an electrowetting display (EWD), and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). However, this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0076] Reference Figure 1 The display device according to the embodiment may include a display 100 and a enclosure 200. The display 100 and the enclosure 200 are configured to be connected to each other. The display 100 may be made of a deformable flexible material.

[0077] The enclosure 200 may have a structure in which at least a portion is deformable, allowing at least a portion to move integrally with the display 100. Each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 may be configured such that at least a portion thereof slides in a vertical direction (e.g., a vertical axis). For example, each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 may be configured such that at least a portion thereof rises and falls.

[0078] The display device may include a housing 300 for housing at least a portion of the display 100 and at least a portion of the enclosure 200. When the display 100 and the enclosure 200 move downward (e.g., in a downward direction opposite to the vertical direction), at least a portion of each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 can be bent and deformed into a curved shape when viewed from the side, and thus can be accommodated in the housing 300.

[0079] When the display 100 and the enclosure 200 are raised, the portion of each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 that was bent and housed inside the housing 300 unfolds again and is exposed to the outside of the housing 300. The user can view the images or videos reproduced on the unfolded portion of the display 100.

[0080] The display device may be an embedded type, with at least a portion thereof installed in a recessed portion of the dashboard 10. Additionally, the display device may include a cover 1000.

[0081] When the upper end of the enclosure 200 is at its lowest vertical level, the cover 1000 can cover at least a portion of the top surface of the display device, and can be positioned at the same vertical position as the portion of the dashboard 10 where the display device is located, or can be positioned very close to the portion of the dashboard 10 where the display device is located. The cover 1000 can cover the entire top surface of the display device.

[0082] Due to the aforementioned function of the cover 1000, the structure of the display device installed in the dashboard 10 is assembled as a whole, giving the user a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The cover 1000 will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] The display device may also include a guide bracket 1100. The guide bracket 1100 may be mounted on the housing 300 and may contact a portion of at least one of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 to guide movement of the enclosure 200.

[0084] Reference Figure 1 The guide bracket 1100 may include a pair of guide brackets projecting from both sides of the housing 300. Each guide bracket 1100 may contact the front edge of the display 100, or may contact each of the two sides of the enclosure 200. The guide brackets 1100 may be spaced apart from each other by the width of the display 100.

[0085] The display 100 or the enclosure 200 can slide in the guide bracket 1100 to enter or exit a slot (e.g., hole or recess) defined in the housing 300. Thus, the guide bracket 1100 can be used to guide the display 100 and the enclosure 200 smoothly through the slot of the housing 300.

[0086] The display device will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 3 This is a diagram omitting the instrument panel 10 and cover 1000 from the display device according to the embodiment. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A magnified view of a portion of the image. Figure 5 It is shown Figure 3 The image shows the state of the display 100 rising.

[0087] The display device according to the embodiments may include a display 100, a enclosure 200, a housing 300, a base 400, a guide 500, and a movable support 600.

[0088] The display 100 may be configured such that at least a portion of it is deformable (e.g., elastically deformable). The display 100 may display images or videos in the same manner as described above. When fully unfolded, the display 100 may be in the shape of a nearly perfectly rectangular sheet. For example, the display 100 may be in the form of a rectangular sheet and the display 100 may be relatively thin.

[0089] The display 100 can be connected to the enclosure 200 so that it can move together with the enclosure 200. Unless otherwise specified below, it can be understood that the display 100 moves when the enclosure 200 moves.

[0090] The enclosure 200 may be configured such that at least a portion thereof is deformable (e.g., elastically deformable), the enclosure 200 may be coupled to the display 100, and may be movable in a vertical direction (e.g., a vertical axis) to change its externally exposed area. In this respect, the externally exposed area of ​​the enclosure 200 refers to the portion of the enclosure 200 that is exposed to the outside of the housing 300.

[0091] The enclosure 200 can be connected to the display 100 to support the display 100. For example, the enclosure 200 and the display 100 can be connected to each other because the front of the enclosure 200 is attached to the rear of the display 100 by adhesive, fasteners, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0092] The exposed portion of the enclosure 200 can be flattened; therefore, the portion of the display 100 connected to the front of the enclosure 200 corresponding to the exposed portion of the enclosure 200 can also be flattened.

[0093] The housing 300 may accommodate at least a portion of each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200. The housing 300 may be mounted in a recess of the instrument panel 10 such that at least a portion thereof may be accommodated within the instrument panel 10.

[0094] As described above, at least a portion of each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 can be bent and housed within the housing 300. Because the display 100 and the enclosure 200 are movable, the extent to which the display 100 and the enclosure 200 are housed within the housing 300 can be variable.

[0095] For example, when the user is using the display device, the upper part of the enclosure 200 rises, thereby reducing the area within the housing 300 where the enclosure 200 and the display 100 are housed. Conversely, when the user is not using the display device, the upper part of the enclosure 200 lowers, thereby increasing the area within the housing 300 where the enclosure 200 and the display 100 are housed.

[0096] The base 400 can be coupled to the housing 300. A portion of the base 400 can be coupled to the housing 300 to support the movement of the guide 500 and the movable support 600, which will be described later.

[0097] The guide 500 may have one end (e.g., a first end) mounted on the enclosure 200 and another end (e.g., a second end) mounted on the base 400, and may be movable in a vertical direction (e.g., along a vertical axis). The guide 500 may move the display 100 and the enclosure 200 in a vertical direction to change the external exposed areas of the display 100 and the enclosure 200.

[0098] When the side of the enclosure 200 moves vertically, the upper end of the enclosure 200 can move between the highest and lowest vertical levels. Therefore, the external exposed areas of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 can be changed.

[0099] One end (e.g., the first end) of the movable support 600 may be mounted on the enclosure 200 to move in a vertical direction, and the other end (e.g., the second end) may be mounted on the base 400 to move relative to the base 400 in a lateral direction (e.g., across the vertical direction).

[0100] The movable support 600 can support the enclosure 200 while moving at one end (e.g., the first end) in the vertical direction of the display device and at the other end (e.g., the second end) in the front-back direction of the display device (e.g., across the lateral direction and across the vertical direction).

[0101] When the enclosure 200 moves along the vertical direction of the display device, the movable support 600 can support the enclosure 200 while moving in the vertical and forward / backward directions of the display device in response.

[0102] The movable support 600 can be attached to the external exposed portion of the enclosure 200, thereby stably supporting the enclosure 200 at any point along its path of movement as the enclosure 200 moves in the vertical direction.

[0103] During the movement of mobile devices, display devices installed in mobile devices such as vehicles may be subjected to external impacts (e.g., external forces). Such impacts may directly damage the display device or cause vibrations within the display device. This is the same problem described above.

[0104] Therefore, display devices installed in mobile devices such as vehicles require structures to support them against external impacts. In particular, structures are needed that support the externally exposed portions of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 for direct user use, so as not to be damaged or vibrated by external impacts.

[0105] In this implementation, as the external exposed area of ​​the enclosure 200 increases or decreases, the movable support 600 moves accordingly (e.g., in a manner corresponding to the enclosure 200), so that the enclosure 200 and the display 100 attached thereto are stably supported regardless of the increase or decrease in the external exposed area of ​​the enclosure 200, thereby effectively mitigating the impact and vibration caused by external shocks (e.g., external forces) on the enclosure 200 and the display device. Therefore, the user can always view images or videos with good image quality, and damage to the display device can be effectively suppressed (e.g., prevented).

[0106] The base 400 is typically manufactured as a plate with a predetermined thickness and may include a first base portion 410 and a second base portion 420. The first base portion 410 is coupled to the guide 500 and to the top surface of the housing 300. The first base portion 410 is coupled to the housing 300 to support the guide 500.

[0107] The guide 500 can be connected to and disposed on the first base portion 410. Since the first base portion 410 is disposed at the front of the base 400, the guide 500 can also be disposed near the front of the base 400 and at the rear of the enclosure 200 (e.g., the rear surface).

[0108] The second base portion 420 can be configured such that the movable support 600 is movable, and can be coupled to the housing 300 to surround at least a portion of the housing 300. Thus, the second base portion 420 can accommodate at least a portion of the housing 300 therein to protect the housing 300 and support the movement of the movable support 600.

[0109] The second base portion 420 may include a second-first base portion 421 and a second-second base portion 422. The second-first base portion 421 and the second-second base portion 422 may be integrally manufactured (e.g., the second-first base portion and the second-second base portion may be integral so that they form a single integral component). The second-first base portion 421 may cover at least a portion of the top surface of the housing 300 and may be coupled such that the movable support 600 is movable.

[0110] The second-2 base portion 422 may cover at least a portion of the rear of the housing 300 and bends from the second-1 base portion 421. The second-2 base portion 422 may surround at least a portion of the rear of the housing 300 and block external exposure of the housing 300 to protect the housing 300.

[0111] The guide 500 may include a first bracket 510, a second bracket 520, a third bracket 530, a movable part 540, and a reinforcing plate 550. The first bracket 510 may be coupled to the enclosure 200 to move together with the enclosure. The first bracket 510 may be strip-shaped (e.g., plate-shaped), and may be configured such that the length direction of the first bracket 510 is parallel to the left-right direction (e.g., the length direction) of the enclosure 200, and may be coupled to the upper rear portion of the enclosure 200.

[0112] The first bracket 510 can be raised and lowered on the display device. When the first bracket 510 is raised and lowered, the enclosure 200 and the display 100 connected thereto also rise and fall, so that the external exposed areas of the enclosure 200 and the display 100 can be changed.

[0113] The second support 520 may be connected to the first base portion 410. The second support 520 may be strip-shaped (e.g., plate-shaped), and may be configured such that the length direction of the second support 520 is parallel to the left-right direction (e.g., the length direction) of the enclosure 200, and may be connected to the top of the first base portion 410. The first base portion 410 may support the second support 520.

[0114] The third bracket 530 may be formed to project upward from the second bracket 520. The third bracket 530 may extend from the second bracket 520 in a vertical direction (e.g., a vertical axis). The third bracket 530 may include a pair of third brackets, which may be arranged to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the lateral direction (e.g., the longitudinal direction) of the enclosure 200. A hollow portion may be defined in the third bracket 530 in which the movable part 540 is mounted. For example, the third bracket 530 may include a hollow portion.

[0115] A reinforcing plate 550 may be disposed between a pair of spaced-apart third supports 530 and may be coupled to the pair of third supports 530 to allow the pair of third supports 530 to maintain a designed separation distance between them. The reinforcing plate 550 may be formed in a plate shape and may be integrally manufactured with the pair of third supports 530. However, the reinforcing plate 550 is not an essential component of the display device.

[0116] The second bracket 520, the third bracket 530, and the reinforcing plate 550 can be manufactured as a single unit, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0117] One end of the movable part 540 can be connected to the first bracket 510 and can be inserted into the third bracket 530, thereby being movable relative to the third bracket 530 in the vertical direction. The movable part 540 can be inserted into the hollow part of the third bracket 530 and can rise and fall relative to the third bracket 530.

[0118] Therefore, as the moving part 540 rises and falls, the first bracket 510, the enclosure 200 connected thereto, and the display 100 connected to the enclosure 200 rise and fall. Thus, the external exposed areas of the enclosure 200 and the display 100 can be varied.

[0119] In order to raise and lower the moving part 540, the display device may include a first motor 710 and a first housing 720 on which the first motor 710 is mounted.

[0120] A first motor 710 may be connected to a housing 300, and the rotation shaft of the first motor 710 may be connected to a moving part 540 to control the vertical movement of the moving part 540. A first housing 720 may be connected to a housing 300, at least a portion of the first housing 720 may be exposed to the outside, and the first motor 710 may be mounted on the first housing 720.

[0121] Reference Figure 3 The first housing 720 may be mounted on the side of the housing 300, and the first motor 710 may be mounted on a protruding portion of the first housing 720 (e.g., the vertical portion of the first housing 720). The first housing 720 may be an L-shaped frame member and may include a vertical portion and a horizontal portion extending from the lower end of the vertical portion. The rotation shaft of the first motor 710 may be built into the housing 300 and may be coupled to a movable part 540 that moves vertically relative to the housing 300.

[0122] For example, the connection between the first motor 710 and the moving part 540 can be provided in the housing 300, on which the display 100 and the enclosure 200 are wound, and the rolling guide can be rotated by the first motor 710.

[0123] In this respect, the portion of the enclosure 200 not wound around the rolling guide can be unfolded, and the unfolded portion can move in the vertical direction of the display device. In this respect, the moving part 540 connected to the enclosure 200 can move in the vertical direction. For example, the first motor 710 and the moving part 540 can be connected to each other via the enclosure 200. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0124] Therefore, the moving part 540 can rise and fall by rotating the first motor 710. By changing the rotation direction of the first motor 710, the moving part 540 can be raised or lowered. The operation of the first motor 710 can be controlled by a controller equipped in the display device.

[0125] The movable support 600 may include a connector 610, a first rod 620 (e.g., a telescopic rod / bar), and a second rod 630. The connector 610 and the first rod 620 may each include a pair of connectors and a pair of first rods. The pair of connectors 610 and the pair of first rods 620 may be spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction of the enclosure 200. The connectors 610 and the first rods 620 may be positioned at the same location in the left-right direction of the enclosure 200.

[0126] It is appropriate that the connector 610 and the first rod 620 are positioned spaced apart from the moving part 540 in the left-right direction of the enclosure 200 so as not to interfere with the raising of the pair of moving parts 540 (e.g., telescopic rods / bars).

[0127] Connector 610 can be attached to enclosure 200. (See reference) Figure 3 and Figure 5 The connector 610 can be attached to the upper part behind the enclosure 200 to rise and fall together with the enclosure 200.

[0128] One end of the first rod 620 (e.g., the first end) can be pivotally connected to the connector 610. For example, one end of the first rod 620 (e.g., the first end) can be hinged to the connector 610. Therefore, the first rod 620 can stably support the enclosure 200 regardless of where the connector 610 is located in the vertical direction due to the raising and lowering of the enclosure 200.

[0129] The second rod 630 may be configured such that its length direction intersects the length direction of the first rod 620, and the other end (e.g., the second end) of the first rod 620 may be connected to the second rod 630, and the second rod 630 may be movable on the 2-1 base portion 421. For example, the second rod 630 may have a length direction axis intersecting the length direction axis of the first rod 620. In this respect, the first rod 620 and the second rod 630 may move integrally. The second rod 630 may be configured such that its length direction is parallel to the left-right direction of the enclosure 200.

[0130] When the enclosure 200 rises, the first rod 620 can pivot relative to the second-first base portion 421 at an angle within a predetermined range while moving on the second-first base portion 421. Similarly, when the first rod 620 pivots, the second rod 630 can also rotate relative to the second-first base portion 421 while moving on the second-first base portion 421. In this respect, the axis of rotation of the second rod 630 can be parallel to the length direction of the second rod 630.

[0131] The second rod 630 can be mounted on the first guide 4211, the second guide 4212, the second housing 820, and the rack and pinion assembly 830, and can be guided by those components (e.g., the first guide 4211, the second guide 4212, the second housing 820, and the rack and pinion assembly 830) to move stably on the second-first base portion 421. The second rod 630 can move in the front-back direction on the second-first base portion 421 while rotating relative to the first guide 4211, the second guide 4212, the second housing 820, and the rack and pinion assembly 830 on which the second rod 630 is mounted.

[0132] In this regard, in the slits defined in the first guide 4211, the second guide 4212, the second housing 820, and the rack device 830 in which the second rod 630 is inserted, the second rod 630 may have a small-diameter portion, which has a smaller diameter than the other portions of the second rod to correspond to the width of the slit. For example, the second rod 630 may include a small-diameter portion disposed in the slits / grooves of the first guide 4211, the second guide 4212, the second housing 820, and the rack device 830.

[0133] The second-first base portion 421 may further include a first guide 4211, on which the second rod 630 is movably mounted. The first guide 4211 may include a pair of first guides respectively disposed on two edges of the second-first base portion 421. The first guide 4211 may be configured such that the length direction of the first guide 4211 is parallel to the front-back direction of the second-first base portion 421, which is the direction of movement of the second rod 630, i.e., the front-back direction of the display device.

[0134] The first guide 4211 may have a first slit 4211a, which has a lengthwise direction in the moving direction of the second rod 630, and the end of the second rod 630 is inserted into the first slit 4211a. The first slit 4211a may have the shape of an elongated slot that is open on one side and closed on the other side. The end of the second rod 630 may be inserted into the corresponding first slit 4211a of a pair of first guides 4211, and the end of the second rod 630 may move along the first slit 4211a in the front-rear direction of the second-1 base portion 421.

[0135] The second-1 base portion 421 may further include a second guide 4212, which is disposed at a position spaced apart from the first guide 4211 and mounted such that the second rod 630 is movable. The second guide 4212 may include a pair of second guides, which may be spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction and may also be spaced apart from the first guide 4211 in the left-right direction. Similar to the first guide 4211, the second guide 4212 may be configured such that the length direction of the second guide 4212 is parallel to the front-back direction of the second-1 base portion 421, which is the direction of movement of the second rod 630.

[0136] The second guide 4212 may include a second slit 4212a having a lengthwise direction in the movement direction of the second rod 630, and the second rod 630 being inserted into the second slit 4212a. The second slit 4212a may be defined as an elongated orifice extending through the second guide 4212. The second rod 630 may be inserted into the second slit 4212a, thereby moving along the second slit 4212a in the front-rear direction of the second-1 base portion 421.

[0137] The display device may also include an operating component 800 disposed on the second-1 base portion 421, the operating component 800 operating the second lever 630 to move relative to the second-1 base portion 421. The operating component 800 may include a second motor 810, a second housing 820, and a rack and pinion device 830.

[0138] The second motor 810 can be mounted on the 2-1 base portion 421. The second motor 810 can move on the 2-1 base portion 421 along the moving direction of the second rod 630 while rotating. A pinion gear 811 can be mounted on the rotating shaft of the second motor 810.

[0139] Since the second housing 820 is equipped with the second motor 810 and connected to the second rod 630, the second housing 820 can be integrally movable on the 2-1 base portion 421 with the second rod 630. A portion of the second housing 820 can accommodate a portion of the second motor 810, and a hole for insertion of the second rod 630 can be defined in another portion of the second housing 820.

[0140] Therefore, when the second housing 820 moves along the front-rear direction on the 2-1 base portion 421, the second rod 630 can also move along the front-rear direction. When the second rod 630 moves along the front-rear direction, one end (e.g., the first end) of the first rod 620 connected to the second rod 630 can also move along the front-rear direction. In this regard, the other end (e.g., the second end) of the first rod 620 connected to the connector 610 can move in the vertical direction (e.g., along the vertical axis).

[0141] The rack and pinion device 830 may have a rack 831 connected to the second-first base portion 421, connected to the pinion 811, and configured such that the length direction of the rack 831 is parallel to the direction of movement of the second rod 630.

[0142] The rack and pinion assembly 830 may be fixedly connected to the second-first base portion 421, and the second rod 630 may be movable relative to the rack and pinion assembly 830. The rack and pinion assembly 830 may have a rack 831 formed on its top surface, and may define a third slit 832 therein for the second rod 630 to move therein.

[0143] The third slit 832 may be defined as an elongated hole extending through the rack device 830. The second rod 630 may be inserted into the third slit 832 to move along the third slit 832 in the front-rear direction of the 2-1 base portion 421. The third slit 832 may guide the movement of the second rod 630 in the front-rear direction.

[0144] Figure 6 yes Figure 3 A magnified view of a portion of it. Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the diagram, the arrow indicates the direction of movement of the second housing 820. Figure 7 yes Figure 3 The side view of the display device shown. Figure 8 yes Figure 5 The side view of the display device shown.

[0145] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the second motor 810 is operated, the pinion 811 mounted on the rotating shaft rotates while moving in the front-back direction along the rack 831 fixed on the 2-1 base portion 421. Therefore, the second motor 810 and the second housing 820, on which the pinion 811 is mounted, can move in the front-back direction.

[0146] like Figure 4 As shown, when the enclosure 200 descends, the second housing 820 can move rearward. Conversely, as... Figure 6 As shown, when the enclosure 200 rises, the second housing 820 can move forward. When the second housing 820 moves in the front-back direction, the second rod 630 can also move in the front-back direction to control the operation of the first rod 620.

[0147] The operation of the second motor 810 can be controlled by a controller equipped in the display device. The first motor 710 for raising and lowering the enclosure 200 and the second motor 810 for moving the second rod 630 back and forth can operate simultaneously in conjunction with each other.

[0148] For example, when the first motor 710 operates to raise the enclosure 200, the second motor 810 can operate simultaneously with the operation of the first motor 710 to move the second lever 630 forward. Conversely, when the first motor 710 operates to lower the enclosure 200, the second motor 810 can operate simultaneously with the first motor 710 to move the second lever 630 backward. This association between the first motor 710 and the second motor 810 can be controlled by a controller (e.g., a hardware embedded processor).

[0149] Even when the second motor 810 and the second housing 820 move on the 2-1 base portion 421, the first rod 620 and the second rod 630 can be connected to each other, and the second rod 630 can be supported by the second motor 810 due to the connection between the pinion 811 and the rack and pinion device 830. Because of this structure, the exposed portion of the enclosure 200 can always be supported in the front-rear direction by the first rod 620.

[0150] As described above, during the raising and lowering of the enclosure 200, regardless of the location of the upper end of the enclosure 200, the movable support 600 can stably support the enclosure 200 and the display 100, thereby preparing for the impact to be applied to the enclosure 200 and the display 100.

[0151] However, when the user is not using the display 100, the upper end of the enclosure 200 can be at its lowest vertical level, and when the user is using the display 100, the upper end of the enclosure 200 can be at its highest vertical level. Therefore, because the upper end of the enclosure 200 is in its lowest and highest vertical levels most of the time, the display device needs to provide more stable support for the enclosure 200 and the display 100 in this situation, thus preparing for external impacts (e.g., external forces). For this purpose, the display device of the embodiment may have sensors and stops. This will be described below.

[0152] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The display device according to the embodiment may include a first sensor 910 and a second sensor 920.

[0153] The first sensor 910 may be disposed on the 2-1 base portion 421 at a position relatively close to the enclosure 200, and the first sensor 910 may contact the second rod 630 to sense the position of the second rod 630 (e.g., the highest vertical position) when the upper end of the enclosure 200 reaches the highest vertical horizontal position.

[0154] The first sensor 910 may protrude on the second base portion 421 to sense the second rod 630 when in contact with it, and may send a signal to the controller for this purpose.

[0155] In order to use the display 100, the display 100 and the enclosure 200 can be raised by the user's operation. When the enclosure 200 is raised, the second rod 630 can be moved accordingly towards the front of the second-1 base portion 421.

[0156] When the enclosure 200 rises and its upper end reaches the set maximum vertical level, the first sensor 910, located at the front of the 2-1 base 421, i.e., near the enclosure 200, can contact the second rod 630, which has already moved forward. The first sensor 910 can send a signal to the controller when it contacts the second rod 630, and the controller can accordingly stop the operation of the first motor 710 and the second motor 810.

[0157] The second sensor 920 may be disposed on the 2-1 base portion 421 at a position relatively far from the enclosure 200 compared to the first sensor 910, and the second sensor 920 may contact the second rod 630 when the upper end of the enclosure 200 reaches the lowest vertical horizontal position (e.g., the lowest vertical position) to sense the position of the second rod 630.

[0158] The first sensor 910 and the second sensor 920 may be configured to be spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the second-1 base portion 421. In this regard, the second rod 630 may move back and forth on the second-1 base portion 421 between the rear of the first sensor 910 and the front of the second sensor 920.

[0159] Similar to the first sensor 910, the second sensor 920 may protrude from the second-1 base portion 421 to sense the second rod 630 when in contact with it and to send a signal to the controller for this purpose.

[0160] When the display 100 is not in use, the display 100 and the enclosure 200 may be lowered by user operation (e.g., by user activation of a controller). When the enclosure 200 is lowered, the second rod 630 may be moved rearward on the second-1 base portion 421 accordingly.

[0161] When the enclosure 200 descends and its upper end reaches the set minimum vertical level, the second sensor 920, located at the rear of the 2-1 base 421, i.e., at a position relatively far from the enclosure 200 compared to the first sensor 910, can contact the rearward-moving second rod 630. Upon contact with the second rod 630, the second sensor 920 can send a signal to the controller, which can then accordingly stop the operation of the first motor 710 and the second motor 810.

[0162] The display device according to the embodiment may further include a first stop 930 and a second stop 940 disposed on the second-1 base portion 421. The first stop 930 and the second stop 940 are capable of rising and falling relative to the second-1 base portion 421. For example, the first stop 930 and the second stop 940 may be of the so-called Peekaboo type (e.g., the first stop 930 and the second stop 940 may be lowered in the second-1 base portion 421 and not seen, and may be raised from the second-1 base portion 421 and seen).

[0163] The display device may have a driver for raising and lowering the first stop 930 and the second stop 940, and a controller may control the driver to raise and lower the first stop 930 and the second stop 940.

[0164] The operation of the first stop 930 and the second stop 940 can be correlated to rise and fall simultaneously. In another embodiment, the first stop 930 and the second stop 940 can operate independently of each other to rise and fall at different times. Hereinafter, in this application, the structure in which the first stop 930 and the second stop 940 are correlated to rise and fall simultaneously will be described.

[0165] The first stop 930 may be disposed on the 2-1 base portion 421 at a position relatively close to the enclosure 200, and the first stop 930 may contact the second rod 630 when the upper end of the enclosure 200 reaches the maximum vertical horizontal position (e.g., the highest vertical position) to restrict the movement of the second rod 630.

[0166] The first stop 930 can contact and support the second rod 630 so that the second rod 630 is not pushed backward on the 2-1 base portion 421. For example, when the display 100 and the enclosure 200 are subjected to an external impact at the highest vertical level, the first stop 930 can support the second rod 630 to prevent a portion of each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 from bending backward toward the display device.

[0167] The second stop 940 may be positioned relatively far from the enclosure 200 compared to the first stop 930 on the second-1 base portion 421, and the second stop 940 may contact the second rod 630 when the upper end of the enclosure 200 reaches the lowest vertical horizontal position (e.g., the lowest vertical position) to restrict the movement of the second rod 630.

[0168] The second stop 940 can contact and support the second rod 630 so that the second rod 630 is not pushed backward on the 2-1 base portion 421. For example, when the display 100 and the enclosure 200 are subjected to an external impact (e.g., an external force) at the lowest vertical level, the second stop 940 can support the second rod 630 to prevent a portion of each of the display 100 and the enclosure 200 from bending backward toward the display device.

[0169] As described above, the operation of the first motor 710 and the second motor 810, as well as the raising and lowering of the first stop 930 and the second stop 940, can be controlled by the controller. First, refer to... Figure 6 The second rod 630, supported by the first stop 930, is described in detail.

[0170] Before the first motor 710 and the second motor 810 operate, the display device can be in a state of... Figure 4 In the state of [unclear - possibly referring to a specific action or condition], to raise the enclosure 200, the first stop 930 and the second stop 940 descend immediately before the operation of the first motor 710 and the second motor 810. Because the first stop 930 and the second stop 940 descend and are not exposed on the 2-1 base portion 421, the second rod 630 can move along the front-back direction on the 2-1 base portion 421 without being disturbed by the first stop 930 and the second stop 940. When the first motor 710 and the second motor 810 are operated, the second rod 630 moves along [unclear - possibly referring to a specific direction or movement]... Figure 6 Move in the direction of the arrow in the image.

[0171] When the upper end of the enclosure 200 reaches its highest vertical level, the second rod 630 can contact the first sensor 910. When the second rod 630 contacts the first sensor 910, the controller, having received a contact signal from the first sensor 910, stops the operation of the first motor 710 and the second motor 810.
