The second guide protrusions 127c3 and 127c4 can be formed on the bottom surface of the second plate 127c and can be adjacent to the second joints 125h2 and 125h4 in the front-back direction.

[0083] Therefore, the joints 125h1, 125h3, 125h2, and 125h4 can be easily aligned with the joint holes 127b1, 127b2, 127c1, and 127c2 by guiding the protrusions 127b3 and 127b4.

[0084] The first portion 122a of the slider 122 can be located between the first plate 127b and the second plate 127c. That is, the gap between the first plate 127b and the second plate 127c can be equal to or greater than the thickness of the first portion 122a of the slider 122. Thus, the slider 122 can pass through the space between the first plate 127b and the second plate 127c. On the other hand, the portion between the first plate 127b and the second plate 127c can be referred to as the guide slot of the guide plate 127.

[0085] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 If the rear leg 121 is separated from the wall W, a portion of the rear leg 121 may protrude a predetermined length L20 outward toward the slot 111g. In this case, the first protrusion 122d may be adjacent to the rear end of the first groove 125bs, and the rod 123 may not be located within the slot 116.

[0086] Thus, the hind legs 121 and the front legs 131 can be configured evenly relative to the first body 110. The support 100 can stably support the head 1 that is connected to the support 100.

[0087] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 If the rear leg 121 contacts the wall W, at least a portion of the rear leg 121 can be inserted into the inside of the slot 111g, and the elastic member 126 can be compressed. In this case, corresponding to the degree to which the rear leg 121 is inserted into the inside of the slot 111g, the first protrusion 122d can move from the rear end of the first groove 125bs toward the front end. Additionally, if the rear leg 121 is inserted to its maximum extent into the inside of the slot 111g, the first protrusion 122d can be adjacent to the front end of the first groove 125bs, and a portion of the rod 123 can be located within the groove 116.

[0088] This reduces the gap between the head 1 and the wall W. Furthermore, even if the hind legs 121 are located inside the first body 110, the wall W can stably support the support 100.

[0089] If the support 100 is gradually separated from the wall W, the elastic member 126 can gradually extend to its original state, and the rear leg 121 can gradually protrude outward from the slot 111g under the elastic force of the elastic member 126. Thus, even if the support 100 is separated from the wall W, the support 100 can continuously and stably support the head 1 connected to the support 100, and can prevent the support 100 and the head 1 from tipping over.

[0090] Reference Figure 16 The first groove 125bs and the second groove 125cs can guide the back-and-forth movement of the first protrusion 122d and the second protrusion 122e.

[0091] The first boss 122c1 may be adjacent to the first protrusion 122d and may protrude from the third portion 122c of the slider 122 toward the first side portion 125b of the bracket 125. The second boss 122c2 may be adjacent to the second protrusion 122e and may protrude from the third portion 122c toward the second side portion 125c. Therefore, the first boss 122c1 and the second boss 122c2 may contact the inner line of the bracket 125, thereby reducing the frictional load between the slider 122 and the bracket 125 and making the sliding of the slider 122 smoother.

[0092] The first lower boss 122b1 can protrude from the bottom surface of the second part 122b of the slider 122 toward the first plate 127b of the guide plate 127. The second lower boss 122b2 can protrude from the bottom surface of the second part 122b of the slider 122 toward the second plate 127c. Therefore, the first lower boss 122b1 and the second lower boss 122b2 can make line contact with the top surface of the guide plate 127, thereby reducing the frictional load between the slider 122 and the guide plate 127 and making the sliding of the slider 122 smoother.

[0093] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 17 The support 100′ can be connected to the back cover 60 (see reference). Figure 2 and Figure 4 The support 100' is adjacent to and combined with the back cover 60 below the support 100', and can support the display device 1. The support 100' can be a component of the display device 1, and the display device 1 other than the support 100' can be referred to as the head 1.

[0094] For example, support 100' may include a plurality of supports spaced apart from each other along the lower edge of back cover 60. A first support may be adjacent to the lower edge and left side of back cover 60, and a second support may be adjacent to the lower edge and right side of back cover 60. Thus, support 100' can stably support head 1.

[0095] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The support 100' may include a main body 110' and a sliding component 120.

[0096] The support portion 111' of the main body 110' can extend in the front-rear direction. The support portion 111' can open downward and can be provided with a slot 111g' and a groove 116'. The connecting portion 112' of the main body 110' can extend upward from the upper end of the support portion 111'. The groove 110G can be formed at the intersection of the support portion 111' and the connecting portion 112'.

[0097] A portion 113' of the support portion 111' can be evenly disposed on the rear leg 121 of the sliding assembly 120 relative to the connecting portion 112'. The portion 113' of the support portion 111' can be referred to as the front leg 113'.

[0098] The aforementioned sliding component 120 can be attached to the inside of the support portion 111', and the rear leg 121 can pass through the slot 111g'.

[0099] The guide pin 110B can protrude forward from the front of the joint 11'. The guide hook 110K can protrude forward from the front of the joint 112' and can be spaced apart from the guide pin 110B. The engagement hole 110D can be located between the guide pin 110B and the guide hook 110K and can be formed by passing through the joint 112' in the front-back direction.

[0100] Thus, guide pin 110B and guide hook 110K can be inserted into the back cover 60 of head 1 (see reference). Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can guide the engagement of the joint 112' and the back cover 60. For example, a fastening member such as a screw can pass through the engagement hole 110D and be fastened to the back cover 60.

[0101] Reference Figure 20 If the rear leg 121 is separated from the wall W, a portion of the rear leg 121 may protrude a predetermined length L10 outward toward the slot 111g′. The rear leg 121 and the front leg 113′ may be configured equidistantly from the joint 112′. The support 100′ may stably support the head 1 which is engaged with the support 100′.

[0102] As the support 100' contacts and gradually approaches the wall W, the rear leg 121 can be inserted into the inside of the slot 111g', and the elastic member 126 can be compressed. This reduces the gap between the head 1 and the wall W. The wall W can then stably support the support 100'.

[0103] As the support 100' contacts the wall W and gradually moves away from the wall W, the rear leg 121 can protrude outward from the slot 111g' under the elastic force of the elastic member 126. At this time, the support 100' can continuously and stably support the head 1 connected to the support 100', and can prevent the support 100' and the head 1 from tipping over.
