[0076] Throughout the instruction manual, the phrase "when an element is on top of another element" is used, which includes not only the case when an element is in contact with another element, but also the case when there is another element between the two elements.

[0077] In the following, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0078] The terms "front-back direction," "forward," "backward," "lateral direction," "horizontal direction," "right side," "left side," "up-down direction," "vertical direction," "upward," and "downward" used in the following description are defined based on the accompanying drawings. For example, based on... Figure 1 The display device 1 shown can be configured such that the direction along which the displayed image is directed can be defined as a forward direction (+X direction), and the side opposite to the forward direction can be defined as a backward direction (-X direction). For example, based on Figure 1 The direction along which the multiple display units 10 are arranged in the display device 1 shown can be defined as a lateral (or horizontal) direction (Y direction). However, the shape and position of each component are not limited by the above terminology.

[0079] In the following description, for ease of description, a monitor will be used as an example to describe the display unit 10 included in the display device 1. However, the display unit 10 of this disclosure is not limited to a monitor. For example, the display unit 10 of this disclosure can also be applied to devices such as TVs, smartphones, and tablet PCs.

[0080] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings illustrate a display device 1 including a flat display unit 10 as an example, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. This disclosure can also be applied to curved display units or bendable or flexible display units, wherein the flat state and the curved state are variable.

[0081] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a display device according to one embodiment. Figure 2 Is Figure 1 The rear perspective view of the display device shown.

[0082] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display device 1 may include a plurality of display units 10 and a connecting bracket 20, the connecting bracket 20 being configured to connect adjacent display units among the plurality of display units 10.

[0083] Display device 1 may include a plurality of display units 10. Display device 1 may include at least two display units 10.

[0084] For example, the display device 1 may include a first display unit 10a and a second display unit 10b disposed adjacent to one side of the first display unit 10a. For example, the display device 1 may include: a first display unit 10a, a second display unit 10b disposed adjacent to one side of the first display unit 10a, and a third display unit 10c disposed adjacent to the other side of the first display unit 10a.

[0085] For example, for ease of description, the centrally located display unit 10a among the plurality of display units 10 can be defined as the first display unit 10a. Furthermore, the second display unit 10b and the third display unit 10c can be defined based on the first display unit 10a. For example, the display unit 10b located to the left of the first display unit 10a can be defined as the second display unit 10b, and the display unit 10c located to the right of the first display unit 10a can be defined as the third display unit 10c. However, the ordinal numbers "first," "second," and "third" do not limit the construction of the first display unit 10a, the second display unit 10b, and the third display unit 10c.

[0086] Additionally, the accompanying drawings illustrate display device 1 comprising three display units 10a, 10b, and 10c, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Display device 1 may include four or more display units. Display device 1 may include two display units.

[0087] The display unit 10 can have different horizontal and vertical side lengths. That is, the display unit 10 can be configured to have long and short sides. Each display unit 10 can be configured in the shape of a rectangular plate. However, this disclosure is not limited to this, and the display unit 10 can be configured in the shape of a square plate, wherein the long and short sides have the same length. Alternatively, the display unit 10 can be configured in various sizes.

[0088] For example, display unit 10 may include a first side 14 and a second side 15, the first side 14 extending in a generally vertical direction (Z direction), and the second side 15 spaced apart from the first side 14 and extending in a generally vertical direction (Z direction). The first side 14 and the second side 15 may be spaced apart in a horizontal direction (Y direction). The first side 14 and the second side 15 may be configured as shorter sides. For example, display unit 10 may include a third side 16 and a fourth side 17, the third side 16 extending in a generally horizontal direction (Y direction), and the fourth side 17 spaced apart from the third side 16 and extending in a generally horizontal direction (Y direction). The third side 16 may connect to the lower end of the first side 14 and the lower end of the second side 15. The fourth side 17 may connect to the upper end of the first side 14 and the upper end of the second side 15. The third side 16 and the fourth side 17 may be spaced apart in a vertical direction (Z direction). The third side 16 and the fourth side 17 can be configured as long sides. The ordinal numbers "first", "second" and "third" do not restrict the construction of the first side 14, the second side 15, the third side 16 and the fourth side 17.

[0089] Based on the above, the first side 14a of the first display unit 10a can be adjacent to the second side 15b of the second display unit 10b. Based on the above, the second side 15a of the first display unit 10a can be adjacent to the first side 14c of the third display unit 10c.

[0090] Display unit 10 can receive content data, including video and audio signals, from various content sources and output video and audio corresponding to the video and audio signals. For example, display unit 10 can receive content data via a broadcast receiving antenna or cable, receive content data from a content playback device, or receive content data from a content provider's content delivery server.

[0091] The display unit 10 can be configured to display a screen. The display unit 10 may include a display panel 11, which is configured to display an image on the front surface of the display unit 10. For example, the front surface of the display unit 10 may form the front surface of the display device 1.

[0092] A screen display area can be formed on the front surface of the display panel 11. The screen can be displayed in front of the display panel 11. Multiple pixels can be formed in the screen display area, and a screen displayed on the screen display area can be formed by combining the light emitted from the multiple pixels. For example, a single screen, such as a mosaic, can be formed on the screen display area by combining the light emitted from the multiple pixels.

[0093] Each of the multiple pixels can emit light of various brightness and color. Specifically, each of the multiple pixels can include sub-pixels. Sub-pixels can include: a red sub-pixel capable of emitting red light, a green sub-pixel capable of emitting green light, and a blue sub-pixel capable of emitting blue light. Each of the multiple pixels can emit light of various brightness and color by combining the light emitted from the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel, and the blue sub-pixel.

[0094] The display panel 11 can be a self-emissive display panel such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) or a non-emissive display panel such as a liquid crystal display (LCD). There are no particular limitations on the type of display panel 11, and each display unit 10 can include various types of display panels 11.

[0095] When the display panel 11 is an LCD panel, it may include: a thin-film transistor substrate in which thin-film transistors (TFTs) are formed in a matrix, a color filter substrate connected in parallel with the TFT substrate, and liquid crystal injected between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate, having optical properties that change according to voltage or temperature variations. Additionally, a backlight unit (BLU) (not shown) may be disposed inside the housing 12. The backlight unit may be positioned behind the display panel 11 to emit light toward it. In this case, the display panel 11 may block or transmit light emitted from the backlight unit. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto, and as described above, the display panel 11 may be a self-emissive display panel, such as an OLED panel.

[0096] The first display unit 10a may include a first display panel 11a. The second display unit 10b may include a second display panel 11b. The third display unit 10c may include a third display panel 11c. However, the ordinal numbers "first", "second" and "third" do not limit the construction of the first display panel 11a, the second display panel 11b and the third display panel 11c.

[0097] The display unit 10 may include a housing 12 configured to house the display panel 11. The housing 12 may form at least a portion of the exterior of the display unit 10. Components of the display unit 10 for displaying images or performing various functions (such as the display panel 11) may be housed within the housing 12.

[0098] The housing 12 may be configured to support and / or fix the display panel 11. The housing 12 may be configured to cover the rear surface of the display panel 11. For example, the rear surface of the housing 12 may form the rear surface of the display device 1.

[0099] For example, housing 12 can be configured as an assembly in which multiple components are connected.

[0100] The housing 12 can be referred to as a base frame, frame, molded part, cover, etc.

[0101] The first display unit 10a may include a first housing 12a. The second display unit 10b may include a second housing 12b. The third display unit 10c may include a third housing 12c. However, the ordinal numbers "first", "second" and "third" do not limit the construction of the first housing 12a, the second housing 12b and the third housing 12c.

[0102] A port 18 may be formed in one of the multiple display units 10, and this port 18 is configured to receive power and / or signals from the outside. For example, the port 18 may be formed at the rear 13a of the first display unit 10a. As will be described later, two adjacent display units 10 in the multiple display units 10 can be electrically connected to each other via a connecting bracket 20. As a result, a port 18 may not be formed in each of the multiple display units 10. That is, display unit 10a in which a port 18 is formed and display unit 10b or 10c in which a port 18 is not formed can share power and / or signals via the connecting bracket 20. As a result, the number of ports 18 and the number of cables connected to the ports 18 can be reduced. The display device 1 can have an elegant appearance. However, according to an embodiment, a port 18 may be formed in each of the multiple display units 10, or a port 18 may be formed in some of the multiple display units 10.

[0103] Display device 1 may include a connecting bracket 20. The connecting bracket 20 may be configured to connect display units 10 arranged adjacent to each other. The connecting bracket 20 may be configured to electrically connect display units 10 arranged adjacent to each other.

For example, when the display device 1 includes a first display unit 10a, a second display unit 10b, and a third display unit 10c, the display device 1 may include a connecting bracket 20b configured to connect the first display unit 10a, the second display unit 10b, and the third display unit 10c.

[0105] In the following text, for ease of description, connecting bracket 20a may be referred to as first connecting bracket 20a, and connecting bracket 20b may be referred to as second connecting bracket 20b. First connecting bracket 20a and second connecting bracket 20b may include substantially the same construction, and a description of one connecting bracket in first connecting bracket 20a and second connecting bracket 20b may also be applied to the other connecting bracket in connecting bracket 20a and second connecting bracket 20b. However, the ordinal numbers "first" and "second" do not limit the construction of first connecting bracket 20a and second connecting bracket 20b.

[0106] The number of connecting brackets 20 can vary depending on the number of display units 10. For example, the number of connecting brackets 20 may be one less than the number of display units 10. The accompanying drawings illustrate two connecting brackets 20, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, depending on the number of display units 10, one connecting bracket 20 may be provided, or three or more connecting brackets 20 may be provided.

[0107] The connecting bracket 20 can be mounted on adjacent display units 10. The connecting bracket 20 can be removably connected to the rear portion 13 of adjacent display units 10. For example, a first connecting bracket 20a can be mounted on the rear portion 13a of a first display unit 10a and the rear portion 13b of a second display unit 10b. For example, a second connecting bracket 20b can be mounted on the rear portion 13a of a first display unit 10a and the rear portion 13c of a third display unit 10c.

[0108] The connecting bracket 20 can be configured to cover a portion of the rear portion 13 of adjacent display units 10. The connecting bracket 20 can be configured to cover adjacent sides of adjacent display units 10. The connecting bracket 20 can extend along adjacent sides of adjacent display units 10.

A description of one of the first to fourth position adjustment units 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d may also be applied to the remaining position adjustment units of the first to fourth position adjustment units 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d. However, the ordinal numbers "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" do not limit the construction of the first position adjustment unit 30a, second position adjustment unit 30b, third position adjustment unit 30c, and fourth position adjustment unit 30d.

[0113] The display device 1 may include a support member 50 for supporting at least one display unit 10. For example, the support member 50 may be configured to support a first display unit 10a. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the support member 50 may be configured to support a second display unit 10b and / or a third display unit 10c. Alternatively, the display device 1 may not include the support member 50. Multiple display units 10 may be placed on a floor.

[0114] Figure 3 The diagram is in Figure 1 The perspective view of an example of a display device in a folded state. Figure 4 Is Figure 3 The rear perspective view of the display device shown.

[0115] The angle between adjacent display units 10 in the plurality of display units 10 can vary. The adjacent display units 10 in the plurality of display units 10 can be arranged to be foldable and / or tiltable.

[0116] The adjacent display units 10 can be arranged to be foldable and / or tiltable via hinges 22 of the connecting brackets 20. The angle between adjacent display units 10 can be adjusted via the hinges 22 of the connecting brackets 20. For example, the hinge of the first connecting bracket 20a can adjust the angle between the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b. For example, the hinge of the second connecting bracket 20b can adjust the angle between the first display unit 10a and the third display unit 10c. For example, the hinges 22 can be configured to be flexible or flexible.

[0117] The accompanying drawings illustrate a second display unit 10b folded and / or tilted relative to the first display unit 10a within a predetermined range, and a third display unit 10c folded and / or tilted relative to the first display unit 10a within a predetermined range. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the first display unit 10a may be folded and / or tilted relative to the second display unit 10b within a predetermined range. Alternatively, the first display unit 10a may be folded and / or tilted relative to the third display unit 10c within a predetermined range.

[0118] Even when at least some of the display units 10 are folded and / or tilted relative to the remaining display units 10, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the position adjustment device 30 can also adjust the position of at least one display unit 10. For example, even when at least some of the display units 10 are folded and / or tilted relative to the remaining display units 10, the position adjustment device 30 can still slide at least one display unit 10. For example, even when the second display unit 10b is folded and / or tilted relative to the first display unit 10a, the first position adjustment unit 30a can adjust the position of the first display unit 10a relative to the second display unit 10b, and the second position adjustment unit 30b can adjust the position of the second display unit 10b relative to the first display unit 10a.

[0119] Figure 5 Is Figure 1 An exploded view of a portion of the display device shown. Figure 6 Is Figure 5 An enlarged view of section A shown. Figure 7 Is Figure 5 An enlarged view of section B shown. Figure 8 Is Figure 1 An exploded view of an example of a connecting bracket shown.

[0120] Each of the plurality of display units 10 may include at least one connector. At least one connector may be formed at the rear portion 13 of each of the plurality of display units 10. For example, display unit 10 may include two adjacent connectors adjacent to side edges 14 and 15. For example, display unit 10 may include two connectors extending along each of the side edges 14 and 15. As will be described later, at least some of the plurality of display units 10 may include four connectors extending along each of all sides 13, 14, 15, and 16 (see reference). Figure 29 , Figure 30 , Figure 32 and Figure 33 and Figure 34 ).

[0121] The connection bracket 20 may include a connector corresponding to each connector of the adjacent display units 10. The connection bracket 20 may include connectors configured to be electrically connected to each connector of the adjacent display units 10.

[0122] For example, a pogo pin method can be used to connect the connector of the display unit 10 and the connector of the connection bracket 20. However, this is just an example, and the connectors of the display unit 10 and the connection bracket 20 can be electrically connected by various known methods.

[0123] Meanwhile, connectors 100, 200, 500, 600, 900 and / or 1000 formed on the display unit 10 can be referred to as display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, 600, 900 and / or 1000. Connectors 300, 400, 700 and / or 800 formed on the connecting bracket 20 can be referred to as bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700 and / or 800.

[0124] In the following description, an example in which the display device 1 includes a first display unit 10a and a second display unit 10b will be described. The content regarding the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b corresponds to the example regarding the content regarding the adjacent display units among the plurality of display units 10. Therefore, the content regarding the first display unit 10a, the second display unit 10b, and the connecting bracket 20a can also be applied to the first display unit 10a, the third display unit 10c, and the connecting bracket 20b, and their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0125] The first display unit 10a may include a first connector 100. The first connector 100 may be formed at the rear portion 13a of the first display unit 10a. For example, the first connector 100 may be positioned adjacent to a first side 14a of the first display unit 10a. For example, the first connector 100 may have a shape that extends along a generally vertical direction (Z direction).

[0126] The second display unit 10b may include a second connector 200. The second connector 200 may be formed at the rear portion 13b of the second display unit 10b. For example, the second connector 200 may be positioned adjacent to a second side 15b of the second display unit 10b. For example, the second connector 200 may have a shape that extends along a generally vertical direction (Z direction).

[0127] The connecting bracket 20a can be mounted on the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b. The connecting bracket 20a can be removably mounted on the rear part 13a of the first display unit 10a and the rear part 13b of the second display unit 10b.

[0128] The connecting bracket 20a can be configured to electrically connect the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b.

[0129] The connector 20a may include a third connector 300 configured to be electrically connected to the first connector 100. The third connector 300 may have a shape corresponding to the first connector 100.

[0130] The connector 20a may include a fourth connector 400 configured to be electrically connected to the second connector 200. The fourth connector 400 may have a shape corresponding to the second connector 200.

[0131] The third connector 300 and the fourth connector 400 of the connecting bracket 20a can be electrically connected to each other. For example, this can be achieved through electronic circuitry, cable 25 (see reference). Figure 8 (e.g., incoming calls connect the third connector 300 and the fourth connector 400.)

[0132] When the connecting bracket 20a is mounted on the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b, the first connector 100 and the third connector 300 can be electrically connected, and the second connector 200 and the fourth connector 400 can also be electrically connected. Therefore, the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b can exchange power and / or signals with each other through the connecting bracket 20a.

[0133] An example in which the display device 1 includes a first display unit 10a, a second display unit 10b, and a third display unit 10c will be described. As described above, the content regarding the first display unit 10a, the second display unit 10b, and the connecting bracket 20a can be applied to the first display unit 10a, the third display unit 10c, and the connecting bracket 20b, and descriptions identical to those described above will be omitted.

[0134] The first display unit 10a may include a fifth connector 500. The fifth connector 500 may be formed at the rear portion 13a of the first display unit 10a. The fifth connector 500 may be spaced apart from the first connector 100 in the lateral direction (Y direction). The fifth connector 500 may be arranged closer to the second side 15a of the first display unit 10a than the first connector 100. For example, the fifth connector 500 may have a shape extending along a generally vertical direction (Z direction).

[0135] The third display unit 10c may include a sixth connector 600. The sixth connector 600 may be formed at the rear portion 13c of the third display unit 10c. The sixth connector 600 may be positioned adjacent to a first side 14c of the third display unit 10c. For example, the sixth connector 600 may have a shape extending along a generally vertical direction (Z direction).

[0136] The connecting bracket 20b can be mounted on the first display unit 10a and the third display unit 10c. The connecting bracket 20b can be removably mounted on the rear part 13a of the first display unit 10a and the rear part 13c of the third display unit 10c.

[0137] The connecting bracket 20b can be configured to electrically connect the first display unit 10a and the third display unit 10c.

[0138] The connector 20b may include a seventh connector 700 configured to be electrically connected to the fifth connector 500. The seventh connector 700 may have a shape corresponding to that of the fifth connector 500.

[0139] The connector 20b may include an eighth connector 800 configured to be electrically connected to the sixth connector 600. The eighth connector 800 may have a shape corresponding to the sixth connector 600.

[0140] The seventh connector 700 and the eighth connector 800 of the connecting bracket 20b can be electrically connected to each other. For example, this can be achieved through electronic circuitry, cable 25 (see reference). Figure 8 (e.g., incoming calls connect the seventh connector 700 and the eighth connector 800.)

[0141] When the connecting bracket 20b is mounted on the first display unit 10a and the third display unit 10c, the fifth connector 500 and the seventh connector 700 can be electrically connected, and the sixth connector 600 and the eighth connector 800 can be electrically connected. As a result, the first display unit 10a and the third display unit 10c can exchange power and / or signals with each other through the connecting bracket 20b.

[0142] Simultaneously, the second display unit 10b may include a ninth connector 900. The ninth connector 900 may be formed at the rear portion 13b of the second display unit 10b. The ninth connector 900 may be spaced apart from the second connector 200 relative to the lateral direction (Y direction). The ninth connector 900 may be positioned closer to the first side 14b of the second display unit 10b than the second connector 200. For example, the ninth connector 900 may have a shape extending along a generally vertical direction (Z direction). For example, the ninth connector 900 may be covered by a connector cover (not shown) so as not to be exposed to the outside.

[0143] The third display unit 10c may include a tenth connector 1000. The tenth connector 1000 may be formed at the rear portion 13c of the third display unit 10c. The tenth connector 1000 may be spaced apart from the sixth connector 600 relative to the lateral direction (Y direction). The tenth connector 1000 may be positioned closer to the second side 15c of the third display unit 10c than the sixth connector 600. For example, the tenth connector 1000 may have a shape extending along a generally vertical direction (Z direction). For example, the tenth connector 1000 may be covered by a connector cover (not shown) so as not to be exposed to the outside.

[0144] Reference Figure 6Here's an example to describe the display-side connector. (Regarding...) Figure 6 The contents of the first connector 100 and the second connector 100 shown can also be applied to the fifth connector 500, the sixth connector 600, the ninth connector 900 and the tenth connector 1000.

[0145] The display-side connector may include a connector body 81 and connector terminals 82 formed on the connector body 81. For example, the connector body 81 may have a shape that is recessed from the rear portion 13 of the display unit 10. For example, the connector terminals 82 may be formed of a conductive material to transmit electrical signals and / or current.

[0146] The display-side connector may include a connector hook slot 42. The connector hook slot 42 can engage with the connector hook 41 of the bracket-side connector, which will be described later. As a result, the corresponding display-side connector and bracket-side connector can be connected more securely. For example, at least one connector hook slot 42 may be provided.

[0147] Reference Figure 7 To describe an example of a bracket-side connector. Figure 7 The contents of the third connector 300 and the fourth connector 400 shown can also be applied to the seventh connector 700 and the eighth connector 800.

[0148] The bracket-side connector may include a connector body 91 and connector terminals 92 formed on the connector body 91. The connector body 91 may have a shape corresponding to the connector body 81. For example, the connector body 91 may have a shape that protrudes from the panel 21 of the connecting bracket 20. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the connector body 81 of the display-side connector may have a shape that protrudes toward the connector body 91 of the bracket-side connector, and the connector body 91 of the bracket-side connector may have a recessed shape corresponding to the connector body 81 of the display-side connector. For example, the connector terminals 92 may be formed of a conductive material to transmit electrical signals and / or current. For example, the connector terminals 92 may be configured to contact the connector terminals 81.

[0149] The stand-side connector may include a connector hook 41. The connector hook 41 may engage with a connector hook slot 42. As a result, the corresponding display-side connector and stand-side connector can be connected more stably. For example, at least one connector hook 41 may be provided. Meanwhile, contrary to the figures, the display-side connector may include a connector hook, and the stand-side connector may include a connector hook slot.

[0150] As described above, the display-side connector and the bracket-side connector can have corresponding shapes. Therefore, the connecting bracket 20 can be easily mounted on multiple display units 10. The connecting bracket 20 can be precisely mounted on multiple display units 10. Furthermore, the connection force between the bracket-side connector and the display-side connector can be increased.

[0151] The ordinal numbers “first”, “second”, “third”, “fourth”, “fifth”, “sixth”, “seventh”, “eighth”, “ninth” and “tenth” do not restrict the construction of the first connector 100, the second connector 200, the third connector 300, the fourth connector 400, the fifth connector 500, the sixth connector 600, the seventh connector 700, the eighth connector 800, the ninth connector 900 and the tenth connector 1000.

[0152] In related technologies, when a display device comprises multiple display units, cables may be required for electrical connections between the multiple display units. However, the work of connecting cables between multiple display units can be complex. Cable connections between multiple display units may also compromise the aesthetics of the display device.

[0153] Compared to related technologies, according to this disclosure, electrical connections between multiple display units 10 do not require separate cables. Adjacent display units among the multiple display units 10 can be electrically connected to each other via a connecting bracket 20. By simply attaching the connecting bracket 20 to adjacent display units 10, these adjacent display units 10 can be electrically connected to each other. That is, cable connections can be omitted, and electrical connections between multiple display units 10 can be easily made. The connecting bracket 20 may include connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800 for electrical connections between multiple display units 10. The aesthetics of the display device 1 can be improved.

[0154] At least one of the multiple display units 10 may include a first connector 60, and the connecting bracket 20 may include a second connector 70 configured to be connected to the first connector 60. For example, when the display device 1 includes a first display unit 10a and a second display unit 10b, at least one of the first display unit 10a or the second display unit 10b may include the first connector 60, and the connecting bracket 20a may include the second connector 70 corresponding to the connector 60.

[0155] When the first connector 60 is connected to the second connector 70, the connection force between adjacent display units 10 and the connecting bracket 20 can be increased. Therefore, the connecting bracket 20 will not easily separate from the adjacent display units 10. The electrical connection between adjacent display units 10 and the connecting bracket 20 will not be easily broken.

[0156] For example, each of the first connector 60 and the second connector 70 may be formed of a magnetic material. For example, an attractive force may act between the first connector 60 and the second connector 70. For example, each of the first connector 60 and the second connector 70 may include an electro-permanent magnet, and the first connector 60 and the second connector 70 may be separated when current is supplied between them. Alternatively, each of the first connector 60 and the second connector 70 may include an electromagnet, and the first connector 60 and the second connector 70 may be separated when current is blocked between them. Alternatively, the first connector 60 and the second connector 70 may be connected by separate fastening members (e.g., screws, etc.). Alternatively, the first connector 60 and the second connector 70 may be connected by having corresponding shapes. For example, one of the first connecting member 60 and the second connecting member 70 may include a hook, and the other connecting member of the first connecting member 60 and the second connecting member 70 may include a hook groove (or hook hole) configured to be locked to the hook. However, this disclosure is not limited to the above example, and the first connecting member 60 and the second connecting member 70 may be connected by various known methods.

[0157] Reference Figure 8 To describe an example of a connecting bracket. Regarding... Figure 8 The contents of the connecting bracket 20a shown can also be applied to the connecting bracket 20b. Therefore, the connecting bracket 20b can include a construction that is substantially the same as that of the connecting bracket 20a described below.

[0158] The connecting bracket 20a may include a first panel 21a and a second panel 21b, the first panel 21a being disposed at the rear portion 13a of the first display unit 10a and the second panel 21b being disposed at the rear portion 13b of the second display unit 10b. For example, the first panel 21a and the second panel 21b may be arranged in pairs. For example, the first panel 21a may have a shape extending along the direction along which the first connector 100 extends. For example, the first panel 21a may extend along a generally vertical direction (Z direction). For example, a third connector 300 may protrude from the first panel 21a. For example, the second panel 21b may have a shape extending along the direction along which the second connector 200 extends. For example, the second panel 21b may extend along a generally vertical direction (Z direction). For example, a fourth connector 400 may protrude from the second panel 21b.

[0159] The connecting bracket 20a may include a hinge 22. The hinge 22 may be configured to rotate between the first panel 21a and the second panel 21b. The hinge 22 may also be configured to slide between the first panel 21a and the second panel 21b. With the connecting bracket 20a mounted on the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b, the hinge 22 can adjust the angle between the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b. With the first connector 100 connected to the third connector 300 and the second connector 200 connected to the fourth connector 400, the hinge 22 can adjust the angle between the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b.

[0160] The connecting bracket 20a may include at least one connector rail 23 (reference). Figure 7 The connectors 300 and / or 400 formed on the connecting bracket 20a can move along the connector track 23. For example, the connectors 300 and / or 400 formed on the connecting bracket 20a can be slidably coupled to the connector track 23. For example, the connector track 23 can be formed on each of the first panel 21a and the second panel 21b of the connecting bracket 20a.

[0161] The connector 20a may include a cable 25. The cable 25 may be configured to electrically connect the third connector 300 and the fourth connector 400. For example, the cable 25 may be configured to be flexible or supple.

[0162] The connecting bracket 20a may include a cover member 24. The cover member 24 may be configured to cover the panel 21 of the connecting bracket 20a. The cover member 24 may be removably attached to the panel 21 of the connecting bracket 20a. The cover member 24 may prevent the cable 25 from being exposed to the outside of the connecting bracket 20a. For example, the cover member 24 may include a flexible or flexural material.

[0163] For example, the cover member 24 may include an opening 241. The opening 241 may be configured to expose at least a portion of the position adjustment device 30. Thus, users or others can access or touch the position adjustment device 30, which is housed inside the connecting bracket 20, through the opening 241 of the cover member 24.

[0164] The position adjustment device 30 can be mounted on the connecting bracket 20a. The position adjustment device 30 can be housed within the connecting bracket 20a. The position adjustment device 30 can be configured to contact at least one connector 300 and / or 400 formed on the connecting bracket 20a. For example, the position adjustment device 30 can be provided as a configuration of the connecting bracket 20a. For example, a first position adjustment unit 30a and a second position adjustment unit 30b can be provided as a configuration of the connecting bracket 20a.

[0165] With the connecting bracket 20a mounted on the first display unit 10a and the second display unit 10b, the position adjustment device 30 can move at least one of the first display unit 10a or the second display unit 10b. When the first connector 100 is connected to the third connector 300 and the second connector 200 is connected to the fourth connector 400, the position adjustment device 30 can move at least one of the first display unit 10a or the second display unit 10b. When the first connector 100 is connected to the third connector 300 and the second connector 200 is connected to the fourth connector 400, the position adjustment device 30 can slide at least one of the third connector 300 or the fourth connector 400. For example, when the first connector 100 is connected to the third connector 300 and the second connector 200 is connected to the fourth connector 400, the first position adjustment unit 30a can adjust the position of the first display unit 10a relative to the second display unit 10b. For example, the first position adjustment unit 30a can be configured to slide the third connector 300. For example, when the first connector 100 is connected to the third connector 300 and the second connector 200 is connected to the fourth connector 400, the second position adjustment unit 30b can adjust the position of the second display unit 10b relative to the first display unit 10a. For example, the second position adjustment unit 30b can cause the fourth connector 400 to slide. A detailed description of this will be provided later.

[0166] Figure 9 Is Figure 1 The side sectional view of the display device shown. Figure 10 Is Figure 9 An enlarged view of section C shown. Figure 11 The illustration shows that Figure 10 The example shown is of a display unit moving upwards. Figure 12 The illustration shows that Figure 10The example shown is of a display unit moving downwards.

[0167] Reference Figures 9 to 12 An example of the position adjustment device 30 will be described below. (Regarding the reference...) Figures 9 to 12 The description of the components and operation of the position adjustment device can be applied to at least one of the position adjustment units 30a, 30b, 30c and / or 30d that constitute the position adjustment device 30.

[0168] The position adjustment device 30 may include a guide block 311. The guide block 311 may be fixed inside the connecting bracket 20 to at least one connector of the connecting bracket 20. The guide block 311 may be configured to move in the vertical direction (Z direction).

[0169] For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30a, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide block 311a fixed inside the connecting bracket 20 to the third connector 300 (see reference). Figure 8 For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30b, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide block 311b fixed inside the connecting bracket 20 to the fourth connector 400 (see reference). Figure 8 For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30c, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide block 311 fixed to the seventh connector 700. For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30d, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide block 311 fixed to the eighth connector 800.

[0170] The position adjustment device 30 may include a guide screw 312 rotatably coupled to the guide block 311. The guide screw 312 may be configured to move the guide block 311 in the vertical direction (Z direction). As the guide screw 312 rotates relative to the guide block 311, the guide block 311 may move in the vertical direction (Z direction). As the guide screw 312 rotates relative to the guide block 311, the guide block 311 may move upward D1 (+Z direction) or downward D2 (-Z direction). For example, the guide screw 312 may be screwed onto the guide block 311. The thread 312S of the guide screw 312 may engage with the thread 311S of the guide block 311.

[0171] At least a portion of the guide screw 312 may be exposed to the outside of the connecting bracket 20. For example, at least a portion of the guide screw 312 may be exposed to the outside of the connecting bracket 20 through an opening 241 in the cover member 24. Users may apply a rotational force to the guide screw 312 exposed to the outside of the connecting bracket 20.

[0172] For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30a, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide screw 312a (see reference). Figure 8 The guide screw 312a is rotatably connected to the guide block 311a fixed to the third connector 300 (see reference). Figure 8 This allows the guide block 311a to move in the up-down direction. For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30b, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide screw 312b (see reference). Figure 8 The guide screw 312b is rotatably connected to the guide block 311b, which is fixed to the fourth connector 400 (see reference). Figure 8 This allows the guide block 311b to move vertically. For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30c, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide screw 312 rotatably connected to the guide block 311 fixed to the seventh connector 700, so that the guide block 311 can move vertically. For example, when the position adjustment device 30 includes a position adjustment unit 30d, the position adjustment device 30 may include a guide screw 312 rotatably connected to the guide block 311 fixed to the eighth connector 800, so that the guide block 311 can move vertically.

[0173] refer to Figure 10 The position adjustment device 30 can be configured to convert the rotational motion R caused by the rotational force applied to it into linear motion D for at least one display unit 10. For example, the position adjustment device 30 can convert the rotational motion R of the guide screw 312 into linear motion of the guide block 311. For example, the position adjustment device 30 can convert the rotational motion of the guide screw 312 into vertical motion of the guide block 311. For example, the direction of the rotation axis of the guide screw 312 can be parallel to the direction of movement of the guide block 311.

[0174] refer to Figure 11As the guide screw 312 rotates in one direction R1, the guide block 311 connected to the guide screw 312 can move upward (D1). As the guide block 311 moves upward, the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800, on which the guide block 311 is fixed, can also move upward. As the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800 move upward, the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600 corresponding to the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800 can also move upward. Therefore, the display unit 10 can move upward. The position adjustment device 30 can adjust the position of the display unit 10 by sliding the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800.

[0175] refer to Figure 12 As the guide screw 312 rotates in a direction R2 opposite to the first direction R1, the guide block 311 connected to the guide screw 312 can move downwards (D2). As the guide block 311 moves downwards, the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800, on which the guide block 311 is fixed, can also move downwards. As the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800 move downwards, the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600 corresponding to the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800 can also move downwards. Therefore, the display unit 10 can move downwards.

[0181] An example of the first position adjustment section 321 of the position adjustment device 30 will be described.

[0182] The position adjustment device 30 may include a first protruding guide 3211. The first protruding guide 3211 may be disposed on the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The first protruding guide 3211 may protrude from the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The first protruding guide 3211 may be movable in the vertical direction (Z direction). The first protruding guide 3211 may be movable together with the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The first protruding guide 3211 may be formed on the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600, and is movable together with the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600 in the vertical direction (Z direction). For example, the first protruding guide 3211 may include a ramp 3211S. The first protruding guide portion 3211 can be configured as the first position adjustment portion 321.

[0183] The position adjustment device 30 may include a first movable block 3212. The first movable block 3212 may correspond to a first protruding guide 3211. The first movable block 3212 may contact the first protruding guide 3211. The first movable block 3212 may be disposed on the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800. The first movable block 3212 may move within the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800 in a direction intersecting the movement direction of the first protruding guide 3211. The first movable block 3212 may move in a front-rear direction (X direction). For example, the first movable block 3212 may include a ramp 3212S, which is configured to correspond to and contact the ramp 3211S of the first protruding guide 3211. The first movable block 3212 may be configured as a first position adjustment part 321.

[0184] The position adjustment device 30 may include a first adjusting screw 3213. The first adjusting screw 3213 may be rotatably connected to a first movable block 3212. The first adjusting screw 3213 may move the first movable block 3212 in a direction intersecting the movement direction of the first protruding guide 3211. The first adjusting screw 3213 may move the first movable block 3212 in a forward-backward direction (X direction). For example, the first adjusting screw 3213 may enter through an opening 241 in the cover member 24. For example, the first adjusting screw 3213 may be exposed to the outside of the connecting bracket 20 through an opening 241 in the cover member 24. For example, tools or the like may pass through the opening 241 to rotate the first adjusting screw 3213. The first adjusting screw 3213 may be configured as a first position adjustment part 321.

[0185] The first position adjustment part 321 may include a first protruding guide part 3211, a first moving block 3212 and a first adjusting screw 3213.

[0186] Reference Figure 17 and Figure 18 To describe an example in which the position adjustment device 30 adjusts the display unit 10 in the vertical direction.

[0187] refer to Figure 17 The position adjustment device 30 can be configured to convert the rotational motion (a) caused by the rotational force applied to it into linear motion (c) for at least one display unit 10. For example, the position adjustment device 30 can convert the rotational motion (a) of the first adjusting screw 3213 into linear motion (b) of the first moving block 3212. For example, the direction of the rotation axis of the first adjusting screw 3213 can be parallel to the direction of movement of the first moving block 3212.

[0188] refer to Figure 18As the first adjusting screw 3213 rotates, the first moving block 3212 connected to the first adjusting screw 3213 can move rearward (in the -X direction). As the first moving block 3212 moves rearward, the first protruding guide 3211 corresponding to the first moving block 3212 can move downward (in the -Z direction). For example, the first protruding guide 3211 can be configured to slide along the inclined surface 3212S of the first moving block 3212. For example, as the first moving block 3212 moves rearward, the first protruding guide 3211 can move downward due to gravity. For example, the inclined surface 3212S of the first moving block 3212 can be configured to contact the inclined surface 3211S of the first protruding guide 3211. For example, the inclined surface 3212S of the first moving block 3212 and the inclined surface 3211S of the first protruding guide 3211 can have a downwardly inclined shape. Therefore, as the first protruding guide 3211 moves downward, the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500 and / or 600 on which the first protruding guide 3211 is formed can also move downward, and the display unit 10 can move downward.

[0189] Meanwhile, the first position adjustment unit 321 will be described from Figure 18 The state shown has switched to Figure 17 The example shown illustrates the state. As the first adjusting screw 3213 rotates, the first moving block 3212 connected to the first adjusting screw 3213 can move forward (in the +X direction). At this time, the first adjusting screw 3213 can be in contact with... Figure 18 Rotating in the opposite direction to the direction shown. As the first moving block 3212 moves forward, the first protruding guide 3211 corresponding to the first moving block 3212 can move upward (in the +Z direction). For example, the first moving block 3212 can be configured to press the first protruding guide 3211. For example, the inclined surface 3212S of the first moving block 3212 can be configured to push the inclined surface 3211S of the first protruding guide 3211 forward. For example, the first protruding guide 3211 can move upward (in the +Z direction) along the inclined surface 3212S of the first moving block 3212. Therefore, as the first protruding guide 3211 moves upward, the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500 and / or 600 on which the first protruding guide 3211 is formed can also move upward, and the display unit 10 can move upward.

[0190] An example of the second position adjustment section 322 of the position adjustment device 30 will be described.

[0191] The position adjustment device 30 may include a second protruding guide 3221. The second protruding guide 3221 may be disposed on the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The second protruding guide 3221 may protrude from the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The second protruding guide 3221 may be movable in the lateral direction (Y direction). The second protruding guide 3221 may be movable together with the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The second protruding guide 3221 may be formed on the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600, and move together with the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600 in the lateral direction (Y direction). For example, the second protruding guide 3221 may include a ramp 3221S. The second protruding guide 3221 may be configured as a second position adjustment part 322.

[0192] The position adjustment device 30 may include a second movable block 3222. The second movable block 3222 may correspond to the second protruding guide 3221. The second movable block 3222 may contact the second protruding guide 3221. The second movable block 3222 may be disposed on the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800. The second movable block 3222 may be movable within the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800 in a direction intersecting the movement direction of the second protruding guide 3221. The second movable block 3222 may be movable in the front-rear direction (X direction). For example, the second movable block 3222 may include a ramp 3222S, which is configured to correspond to and contact the ramp 3221S of the second protruding guide 3221. The second movable block 3222 may be configured as a second position adjustment part 322.

[0193] The position adjustment device 30 may include a second adjusting screw 3223. The second adjusting screw 3223 may be rotatably connected to the second moving block 3222. The second adjusting screw 3223 may move the second moving block 3222 in a direction intersecting the movement direction of the second protruding guide 3221. The second adjusting screw 3223 may move the second moving block 3222 in a forward-backward (X-direction) direction. For example, the second adjusting screw 3223 may enter through the opening 241 of the cover member 24. For example, the second adjusting screw 3223 may be exposed to the outside of the connecting bracket 20 through the opening 241 of the cover member 24. For example, tools or the like may pass through the opening 241 to rotate the second adjusting screw 3223. The second adjusting screw 3223 may be configured as a second position adjustment part 322.

[0194] The second position adjustment part 322 may include a second protruding guide part 3221, a second moving block 3222, and a second adjusting screw 3223.

[0195] Reference Figure 19 and Figure 20 To describe an example in which the position adjustment device 30 adjusts the display unit 10 in the horizontal direction (Y direction).

[0196] refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 The position adjustment device 30 can be configured to convert the rotational motion (b) caused by the rotational force applied to it into linear motion (f) for at least one display unit 10. For example, the position adjustment device 30 can convert the rotational motion (b) of the second adjustment screw 3223 into linear motion (e) of the second moving block 3222. For example, the direction of the rotation axis of the second adjustment screw 3223 can be parallel to the direction of movement of the second moving block 3222.

[0197] refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 The second moving block 3222 can be configured as a pair of 3222L and 3222R, and the second adjusting screw 3223 can be configured as a pair of 3223L and 3223R. In the following description, for ease of description, the second moving block relatively positioned to the left (-Y) of the pair of second moving blocks can be referred to as the negative (-) second moving block 3222L, and the second moving block relatively positioned to the right (+Y) of the pair of second moving blocks can be referred to as the positive (+) second moving block 3222R. Similarly, the second adjusting screw relatively positioned to the left (-Y) of the pair of second adjusting screws can be referred to as the negative (-) second adjusting screw 3223L, and the second adjusting screw relatively positioned to the right (+Y) of the pair of second adjusting screws can be referred to as the positive (+) second adjusting screw 3223R.

[0198] refer to Figure 19A gap g1 can be formed between the positive (+) second moving block 3222R and the second protruding guide 3221. For example, the gap g1 can be generated by adjusting the rotation amount of the negative (-) second adjusting screw 3223L and / or the rotation amount of the positive (+) second adjusting screw 3223R. As the negative (-) second adjusting screw 3223L rotates with the gap g1 formed, the negative (-) second moving block 3222L connected to the negative (-) second adjusting screw 3223L can move forward (in the +X direction). As the negative (-) second moving block 3222L moves forward (in the +X direction), the second protruding guide 3221 can move to the right (in the +Y direction relative to the front surface of the display device). The second protruding guide 3221 can be pressed by the negative (-) second moving block 3222L. For example, the second protruding guide 3221 can be configured to slide along the inclined surface of the negative (-) second moving block 3222L. Therefore, as the second protruding guide 3221 moves to the right (+Y direction), the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500 and / or 600 on which the second protruding guide 3221 is formed can also move to the right (+Y direction), and thus the display unit 10 can move to the right.

[0199] refer to Figure 20 A gap g2 can be formed between the negative (-) second moving block 3222L and the second protruding guide 3221. For example, the gap g2 can be generated by adjusting the rotation amount of the negative (-) second adjusting screw 3223L and / or the positive (+) second adjusting screw 3223R. As the positive (+) second adjusting screw 3223R rotates with the gap g2 formed, the positive (+) second moving block 3222R connected to it can move forward (in the +X direction). As the positive (+) second moving block 3222R moves forward (in the +X direction), the second protruding guide 3221 can move to the left (in the -Y direction relative to the front surface of the display device). The second protruding guide 3221 can be pressed by the positive (+) second moving block 3222R. For example, the second protruding guide 3221 can be configured to slide along the inclined surface of the positive (+) second moving block 3222R. Therefore, as the second protruding guide 3221 moves to the left (-Y direction), the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500 and / or 600 on which the second protruding guide 3221 is formed can also move to the left (-Y direction), and thus the display unit 10 can move to the left.

[0200] An example of the third position adjustment section 323 of the position adjustment device 30 will be described.

[0201] The position adjustment device 30 may include a third a moving block 3231. The third a moving block 3231 may be disposed on the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The third a moving block 3231 may protrude from the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The third a moving block 3231 may be movable in the front-back direction (X direction). The third a moving block 3231 may be movable together with the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600. The third a moving block 3231 may be formed on the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600 so as to move together with the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500, and / or 600 in the front-back direction (X direction). For example, the third a moving block 3231 may include a ramp 3231S. The third a moving block 3231 may be configured as a third position adjustment part 323.

[0202] The position adjustment device 30 may include a third b-moving block 3232. The third b-moving block 3232 may correspond to a third a-moving block 3231. The third b-moving block 3232 may contact the third a-moving block 3231. The third b-moving block 3232 may be disposed on the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800. The third b-moving block 3232 may protrude from the bracket-side connectors 300, 400, 700, and / or 800. The third b-moving block 3232 may move in a direction intersecting the moving direction of the third a-moving block 3231. The third b-moving block 3232 may move in a vertical direction (Z direction). For example, the third b-moving block 3232 may include an inclined surface 3232S, which corresponds to the inclined surface 3231S of the third a-moving block 3231 and is configured to contact the inclined surface 3231S of the third a-moving block 3231. The third b moving block 3232 can be configured as the third position adjustment unit 323.

[0203] For example, the third b-moving block 3232 may protrude outward from the connecting bracket 20. For example, the third b-moving block 3232 may be exposed outside the connecting bracket 20. For example, the third b-moving block 3232 may be configured to be gripped. For example, a user may hold the third b-moving block 3232 and move it in the vertical direction (Z direction).

[0204] The third position adjustment unit 323 may include a third a moving block 3231 and a third b moving block 3232.

[0205] Reference Figure 21 and Figure 22 To describe an example in which the position adjustment device 30 adjusts the display unit 10 in the front-to-back direction (X direction). For example, in Figure 21 and Figure 22 The portion indicated by the dashed line can indicate the state before the moving block moves, and... Figure 21 and Figure 22 The portion shown in solid lines indicates the state after the moving block has moved.

[0206] refer to Figure 21 As the third b moving block 3232 moves upward (g), the third a moving block 3231 can move forward (h). For example, as the third b moving block 3232 moves upward, it can press the third a moving block 3231 forward. For example, the inclined surface 3232S of the third b moving block 3232 can be configured to contact the inclined surface 3231S of the third a moving block 3231. For example, the inclined surface 3232S of the third b moving block 3232 can be configured to push the inclined surface 3231S of the third a moving block 3231. Therefore, as the third a moving block 3231 moves forward, the display-side connectors 100, 200, 500 and / or 600 on which the third a moving block 3231 is formed can also move forward, and the display unit 10 can move forward.

[0207] refer to Figure 22 ,along with Figure 21 The third b moving block 3232 shown moves downward (i), forming a gap g3 between it and the third a moving block 3231. The third b moving block 3232 can move backward (j) and attach to the third a moving block 3231. As a result, the gap g3 between the third b moving block 3232 and the third a moving block 3231 can be eliminated. For example, magnetic material can be provided around the third b moving block 3232 and / or the third a moving block 3231, and the third a moving block 3231 can be moved backward by magnetic force to attach to the third b moving block 3232. However, this disclosure is not limited to this, and the third a moving block 3231 can be attached to the third b moving block 3232 by various known methods.

[0208] For example, the inclined surface 3232S of the third b moving block 3232 and the inclined surface 3231S of the third a moving block 3231 can have a shape that is inclined forward and downward. However, this disclosure is not limited to Figure 21 and Figure 22 Alternatively, the inclined surface 3232S of the third b moving block 3232 and the inclined surface 3231S of the third a moving block 3231 can have a forward and upward inclined shape. For example, as the third b moving block 3232 moves downward, the third a moving block 3231 can move forward. For example, when a gap is formed between the third b moving block 3232 and the third a moving block 3231, the third b moving block 3232 can move backward and attach to the third a moving block 3231.

[0209] Generally, when a display device comprises multiple display units, step differences and / or gaps may occur between the multiple display units during the installation process. As a result, boundaries may form between the screens of each of the multiple display units, which may detract from the aesthetics of the display device. Furthermore, to eliminate step differences and / or gaps between the multiple display units, it may be necessary to reinstall the multiple display units.

[0210] According to this disclosure, the display device 1 may include a position adjustment device 30. For example, the position adjustment device 30 can easily adjust the position of the display unit in the vertical direction (Z direction), the horizontal direction (Y direction), and / or the front-back direction (X direction). The position adjustment device 30 can prevent step differences and / or gaps between multiple display units. The aesthetics of the display device 1 are not compromised. Multiple display units 10 do not need to be reinstalled.

Figures 1 to 22 The display devices shown have the same construction. Different constructions can be provided to provide... Figures 23 to 28 The position adjustment device shown and Figures 1 to 22 The position adjustment device is shown. However, in addition to the position adjustment device, in Figures 1 to 22 The display device shown and in Figures 23 to 28 The display devices shown may have substantially the same construction. Therefore, descriptions identical to those described above will be omitted.

[0213] The position adjustment device 30 may include a position adjustment section 330 configured to slide the display unit 10 in one direction. For example, the position adjustment section 330 may cause the bracket-side connector to slide in the up-down direction (Z direction). A detailed description of this will be provided later.

[0214] refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24 The position adjustment unit 330 can be arranged to adjust the height of the second display unit 10b relative to the first display unit 10a. The position adjustment unit 330 can also be arranged to adjust the height of the third display unit 10c relative to the first display unit 10a. In the accompanying drawings, the position adjustment unit 330 is illustrated to correspond to the fourth connector 400 and the eighth connector 800, respectively, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the position adjustment unit 330 can be arranged to correspond to either the fourth connector 400 or the eighth connector 800. Alternatively, the position adjustment unit 330 can be arranged to correspond to the third connector 300 and / or the seventh connector 700. That is, the position adjustment unit 330 can be arranged to correspond to the display unit whose height will be adjusted. The position adjustment unit 330 can be provided in various arrangements and / or combinations.

[0215] Reference Figures 26 to 28 An example of the position adjustment unit 330 corresponding to the fourth connector 400 will be described below. Figures 26 to 28 The same description can be applied to the position adjustment section 330 corresponding to the other bracket-side connector. Therefore, the fourth connector 400 described below can be replaced by another bracket-side connector. Similarly, the second connector 200 described below can be replaced by another display-side connector. For example, the fourth connector 400 described below can be replaced by an eighth connector 800, and the second connector 200 described below can be replaced by a sixth connector 600.

The locking protrusion 332 may be configured to engage with the toothed track 331. The locking protrusion 332 may be configured to move along the toothed track 331. The locking protrusion 332 may move together with the fourth connector 400 along the toothed track 331 in the vertical direction (Z direction). As the fourth connector 400 moves, the second connector 200 connected to the fourth connector 400 may also move in conjunction with the fourth connector 400. The locking protrusion 332 may be connected to the fourth connector 400. For example, the locking protrusion 332 may be connected to the fourth connector 400 via a spring 334, which will be described later. The locking protrusion 332 may be configured as part of the position adjustment unit 330.

[0218] The position adjustment device 30 may include a release portion 333. The release portion 333 may be configured to press the locking protrusion 332 to allow the engagement between the toothed track 331 and the locking protrusion 332 to be released. To release the engagement between the toothed track 331 and the locking protrusion 332, the release portion 333 may move the locking protrusion 332 away from the toothed track 331. For example, the release portion 333 may move the locking protrusion 332 forward (in the +X direction). For example, the release portion 333 may protrude from the locking protrusion 332 to the outside of the connecting bracket 20. For example, the release portion 333 may be exposed from the locking protrusion 332 to the outside of the connecting bracket 20. For example, the release portion 333 may be configured to be gripped. For example, a user or the like may move the locking protrusion 332 and the connector 400 by holding and moving the release portion 333. The release portion 333 may be configured as part of the position adjustment portion 330.

[0219] The position adjustment device 30 may include a spring 334. The spring 334 may connect the locking protrusion 332 and the fourth connector 400. The spring 334 may be configured to resiliently bias the locking protrusion 332 to allow the toothed track 331 to engage with the locking protrusion 332. The spring 334 may move the locking protrusion 332 closer to the toothed track to allow the toothed track 331 to engage with the locking protrusion 332. For example, the spring 334 may move the locking protrusion 332 rearward (in the -X direction). For example, when a user applies a forward force by holding the release part 333 and then removes the force, the locking protrusion 332 may be moved rearward by the resilient restoring force of the spring 334. As the locking protrusion 332 moves rearward, it may engage with the toothed track 331. The spring 334 may be configured as part of the position adjustment part 330.

[0220] Simultaneously, the toothed track 331 may include teeth in a slanted shape that narrows towards the top. Therefore, when the toothed track 331 engages with the locking protrusion 332, the locking protrusion 332 and the fourth connector 400 can be allowed to move upwards along the toothed track 331, but downward movement can be prevented. The positions of the locking protrusion 332 and the fourth connector 400 can be maintained in a fixed state.

[0221] When the toothed track 331 separates from the locking protrusion 332, the locking protrusion 332 and the fourth connector 400 can move upward and downward along the toothed track 331. That is, the locking protrusion 332 and the fourth connector 400 can move freely in the vertical direction (Z direction) along the toothed track 331. For example, a user can move the release part 333 upward and / or downward by holding the release part 333 and applying a force forward (+X direction). Therefore, the locking protrusion 332 and the fourth connector 400 can move upward and / or downward together with the release part 333.

[0222] Therefore, the position adjustment device 30 can slide the bracket-side connector. Consequently, the display-side connector connected to the bracket-side connector can also slide. Furthermore, the display unit on which the display-side connector is formed can also slide. The position adjustment device 30 can slide the display unit.

[0223] The position adjustment part 330 may include a toothed track 331, a locking protrusion 332, a release part 333, and a spring 334.
