[0032] Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in the present specification will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference denotations are applied to the same or similar constituent elements throughout the drawings, and repetitive descriptions on the same or similar constituent elements will be omitted. The suffix "module" and "part" of the constituent elements used in the following description are assigned or mixed only in consideration of facilitation of writing, and do not have meanings or roles by themselves. In addition, in describing the embodiments disclosed in the present specification, if it is determined that the detailed description of related known functions or configurations makes the gist of the embodiments disclosed in the present specification unnecessarily vague, the detailed description will be omitted. In addition, the accompanying drawings are merely for easy understanding of the embodiments disclosed in the present specification, and the technical idea disclosed in the present specification is not limited to the accompanying drawings, and should be interpreted as including all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions included in the idea and technical scope of the present disclosure.

[0033] The terms including ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," etc. can be used to describe various constituent elements, but the constituent elements should not be limited to the above terms. The above terms are used only to distinguish one constituent element from another constituent element.

[0034] When it is mentioned that any one constituent element is "coupled with" or "connected with" another constituent element, it should be understood that the one constituent element can be directly coupled or connected with the other constituent element, or there can be another constituent element therebetween. In contrast, it should be understood that if it is described that one constituent element is "directly connected" or "directly connected" with another constituent element, there is no other constituent element therebetween.

[0035] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular expression includes the plural expression.

[0036] It should be understood that, in the present application, the terms "include" or "have" etc. are only to explain the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, parts or combinations thereof described in the specification, and do not mean to exclude the possibility of existence or addition of one or more other features or numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, parts or combinations thereof in advance.

[0037] On the other hand, the display apparatus 100 described in the present specification, for example, as a smart display apparatus 100 in which a computer-aided function is added to a broadcast receiving function, has an interface such as a handwriting type input device, a touch screen, or a space remote controller, which is more convenient to use, in addition to the Internet function, etc. while maintaining the broadcast receiving function. In addition, by connecting with the Internet and a computer with the support of the wired or wireless Internet function, it is also possible to perform functions such as e-mail, web browsing, online banking, or games. For such various functions, a standardized general-purpose OS (Operating System) can be used.

[0038] Therefore, the display device 100 described in this specification, for example, is able to perform various user-friendly functions because it allows for the free addition or removal of various applications on a general-purpose OS kernel. More specifically, the display device 100 may be, for example, a network television (TV), HBBTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband Television), or a smart television (TV), and may also be suitable for smartphones, depending on the circumstances.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a block diagram illustrating the various components of the display device of the present invention.

[0040] The display device 100 may include a communication unit 110, an input unit 120, a sensing unit 124, an output unit 150, a control unit 180, a storage unit 185, and a power supply unit 190. Figure 1 The structure shown may include only a portion of the structure, and a structure may perform two functions.

[0041] The communication unit 110 may include a broadcast receiving unit 111, which includes a tuner unit and a demodulation unit. The tuner unit of the broadcast receiving unit 111 can select a broadcast signal corresponding to a channel selected by the user or all stored channels from broadcast signals received via an antenna or cable. The tuner unit is capable of converting the selected broadcast signal into an intermediate frequency signal, baseband video, or voice signal.

[0042] On the other hand, the tuner unit can sequentially select all the broadcast signals of all the stored broadcast channels from the received broadcast signals through the channel memory function, and convert them into intermediate frequency signals, baseband video or voice signals.

[0043] The demodulation unit of the broadcast receiver 111 is capable of receiving the digital intermediate frequency (DIF) signal converted from the tuner unit and performing demodulation. After demodulation and channel decoding are completed, the demodulation unit can output a streaming signal (TS). At this time, the streaming signal can be a signal that multiplexes image signals, voice signals, or data signals.

[0044] The streaming signal output from the demodulation unit can be input to the control unit 180. After performing demultiplexing, image / speech signal processing, etc., the control unit 180 can output an image through the display unit 151 and output speech through the audio output unit 152.

[0045] The external device interface unit 112 can connect external devices to the display device 100 and receive image signals, voice signals, and control signals from the external devices. The interface unit 112 can connect to external devices such as DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), Blu-ray, game console, camera, camcorder, and computer (laptop) in a wired / wireless manner.

[0046] The external device interface unit 112 transmits externally input video, voice, or data signals to the control unit 180 of the display device 100 via a connected external device. Additionally, it can output video, voice, or data signals processed by the control unit 180 to an external device.

[0047] The external device interface section 112 may include wired and wireless types. The wired type may include a physical terminal provided on the display device 100, while the wireless type may connect to an external device via an antenna that receives wireless signals.

[0048] Wired devices may include USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminals, CVBS (Composite Video Banking Sync) terminals, component video terminals, S-video terminals (analog), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), RGB (Red, Green, Blue) terminals, and D-SUB terminals, enabling video and audio signals from external devices to be input to the display device 100.

[0049] The wireless type can perform short-range wireless communication with other nearby electronic devices. The display device 100, for example, can connect to other electronic devices via networks based on communication standards such as Bluetooth, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), IrDA (infrared Data Association), UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).

[0050] The network interface unit 113 can connect to a specified webpage via a connected network or other networks connected to the connected network. That is, it can send or receive data with the corresponding server by connecting to the specified webpage via the network. In addition, it can receive content or data provided by content providers or network operators.

[0051] In other words, it can receive content and related information such as movies, advertisements, games, VOD (video on demand), and broadcast signals from content providers or network providers via the network. Additionally, it can receive firmware updates and update files provided by network operators. Furthermore, it can send data to the internet, content providers, or network operators.

[0052] In addition, the network interface unit 113 can select and receive the required application from publicly available applications via the network.

[0053] According to an embodiment, when a game application is running on a display device, the network interface unit 113 can send or receive specified data to a user terminal that is network connected to the display device. Additionally, it can also send or receive specified data to a server that stores game scores.

[0054] The input unit 120 may include: a microphone 121 for collecting voice; a user input unit 123 for detecting user commands; a sensor unit for detecting the status of the display device and the surrounding environment; and a remote signal receiving unit 125 for receiving signals from the remote control device 127.

[0055] Microphone 121 can recognize the user's voice or ambient sounds, specifically it can receive user voice input and process it into electrical audio data. Microphone 121 can be implemented using various noise reduction algorithms to remove noise generated during the reception of external voice signal input.

[0056] The microphone 121 does not simply collect the user's voice and convert it into voice data for storage in the storage unit 185 or for transmission to an external device via the communication unit 110. Instead, it can analyze the voice data to identify it as user commands, and therefore can also function as a user input unit 123.

[0057] In addition to the main body of the display device 100, the microphone 121 can also be mounted on the remote control device 127 described later and transmitted to the control unit 180 via the remote signal receiving unit 125.

[0058] The user input unit 123 is a device for users to input control commands for controlling the display device. The user input unit 123 may be composed of a keypad, buttons, a touchpad, or a touch screen.

[0059] When the user input unit 123 includes physical buttons, the user can input commands related to the display device 100 by pressing the physical buttons. When the user input unit 123 includes a touch screen, the user can input commands related to the display device 100 to the remote control device 127 by touching the soft keys on the touch screen.

[0060] In addition, the user input unit 123 may include various input methods that the user can operate, such as scroll keys or push keys, and this embodiment does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0061] Recently, as the bezel size of display devices 100 has decreased, there has been a gradual increase in display devices 100 with a form factor that minimizes the physical button-type user input section 123 exposed from the outside. Instead, a minimal number of physical buttons can be provided on the back or sides, and user input can be received via a touchpad or a remote signal receiving unit 125 (described later) via a remote control device 127.

[0062] The remote signal receiving unit 125 can input commands related to the display device 100 through the remote control device 127 equipped with a user input unit 123. Since the remote signal receiving unit 125 is a user input unit 123, and receives signals from the remote control device 127 according to various communication methods such as RF (Radio Frequency) communication and infrared (IR) communication, it can also be classified as a wireless communication unit.

[0063] The sensing unit 124 refers to a device that detects changes within or outside the display device 100. For example, it may include at least one of a proximity sensor, an illumination sensor, a touch sensor, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an optical sensor (e.g., a camera), a sound sensor (e.g., a microphone), a battery gauge, and an environmental sensor (e.g., a hygrometer, a thermometer, etc.).

[0064] Recently, a display device 100 has emerged that can change the direction of movement or display, and may also include a gyroscope sensor, an accelerometer, etc., for detecting the attitude of the display device.

[0065] The control unit 180 can check the status of the display device 100 based on the information collected by the sensing unit 124, and inform the user or make adjustments on its own to maintain the optimal state when a problem occurs.

[0066] Furthermore, the sensor unit 124 can control the content, image quality, and size of the image provided to the display unit 151 according to factors such as the viewer detected by the sensor unit 124 or the ambient light level, thereby providing an optimal viewing environment. With the advancement of smart TVs, the functions integrated into display devices are increasing, and the sensor unit 124 is also increasing accordingly.

[0067] The output unit 150, as a device for providing visual and auditory information to a user through a display device, may include a display unit 151 and an audio output unit 152.

[0068] The display unit 151 can generate drive signals by converting image signals, data signals, OSD (On-Screen Display) signals, control signals processed in the control unit 180, or image signals, data signals, and control signals received from the interface unit. The display unit 151 may include a display panel containing a plurality of pixels.

[0069] The plurality of pixels disposed on the display panel may include RGB subpixels. Additionally, the plurality of pixels disposed on the display panel may also include RGBW (red, green, blue, white) subpixels. The display unit 151 generates drive signals for the plurality of pixels by converting image signals, data signals, OSD signals, and control signals processed in the control unit 180.

[0070] The display unit 151 can be a PDP (Plasma Display Panel), LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), or flexible display, etc. Additionally, a 3D display can also be used. The 3D display unit 151 can be either glasses-free or glasses-based.

[0071] The display device 100 includes: a display section 151 occupying most of the front area; and a housing covering the back and sides of the display section 151 and encapsulating the display section 151.

[0072] Recently, in order to achieve curved screens, not only flat screens, but also curved screens, display devices 100 can utilize flexible display sections 151 such as LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) or OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes).

[0073] For LCDs, which have been the primary technology used in the past, since LCDs are not self-emissive, they rely on backlight units to receive light. A backlight unit is a device that uniformly supplies light from a light source to the liquid crystal located on the front. Although thinner backlight units have made it possible to achieve thinner LCDs, the difficulty in using flexible materials to implement them, and the difficulty in supplying uniform light to the liquid crystal when the backlight unit is bent, result in variations in screen brightness.

[0074] Conversely, in the case of LEDs or OLEDs, since the devices constituting the pixels are self-emissive, a curved display can be achieved without the use of a backlight unit. Furthermore, because each device is self-emissive, changes in their positional relationship with adjacent devices do not affect their brightness, thus enabling the implementation of a curved display section 150 using LEDs or OLEDs.

[0075] OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) panels officially debuted in mid-2010 and are rapidly replacing LCDs in the small and medium-sized display market. As a display made using the self-emissive phenomenon of light emission when an electric current flows through fluorescent organic compounds, OLEDs offer faster image response times compared to LCDs, thus virtually eliminating image ghosting in video output.

[0076] Since OLEDs are light-emitting display products that use three fluorescent organic compounds—red, green, and blue—that have self-emissive properties, and emit light by combining positively charged particles with electrons injected from the negative and positive electrodes within the organic material, there is no need for a backlight (backlight device) that would reduce color performance.

[0077] LED (Light Emitting Diode) panels are a technology that uses a single LED device as a pixel. Compared to the past, the size of the LED devices can be reduced, thus enabling curved display sections 151. Devices previously known as LED TVs refer to those that use LEDs as the light source for a backlight unit that supplies light to an LCD, but cannot form an image from the LEDs themselves.

[0078] The display section may include a plurality of pixels (R, G, B). The plurality of pixels (R, G, B) may be formed in the region where each plurality of data lines intersects with a plurality of gate lines. The plurality of pixels (R, G, B) may be arranged or configured in a matrix.

[0079] For example, a plurality of pixels (R, G, B) may include red (hereinafter "R") subpixels, green ("G") subpixels, and blue ("B") subpixels. A plurality of pixels (R, G, B) may also include white (hereinafter "W") subpixels.

[0080] The side of the display unit 151 that displays the image can be referred to as the front or front side. When displaying an image, the side of the display unit 151 that cannot be viewed is referred to as the back or back side. On the other hand, the display unit 151 is composed of a touch screen, so it can be used as an input device in addition to an output device.

[0081] The audio output unit 152 receives the input signal that is processed by the control unit 180 and outputs it as voice.

[0082] The control unit 180 may include at least one processor and is capable of controlling all operations of the display device 100 using the included processor. Here, the processor may be a common processor such as a CPU (central processing unit). Of course, the processor may be a dedicated device such as an ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) or a processor based on other hardware.

[0083] The control unit 180 demultiplexes or processes the demultiplexed signal input through the tuner unit, demodulation unit, external device interface unit 112, or network interface unit 113, thereby generating and outputting a signal for image or voice output.

[0084] The video signal processed by the control unit 180 can be input to the display unit 151 and displayed as an image corresponding to the image signal. Additionally, the video signal processed by the control unit 180 can be input to an external output device via the external device interface unit 112.

[0085] The voice signal processed in the control unit 180 can be output to the audio output unit 152. Additionally, the voice signal processed in the control unit 180 can be input to an external output device via the external device interface unit 112. (Although not shown in the figure...) Figure 2 However, the control unit 180 may include a demultiplexing unit and an image processing unit, etc. This will be referred to... Figure 3 This will be discussed later.

[0086] In addition, the control unit 180 can control the overall operation within the display device 100. For example, by controlling the tuner unit 111, the control unit 180 can control the broadcast corresponding to the channel selected by the user or a stored channel.

[0087] Additionally, the control unit 180 can control the display device 100 via user input interface 173 using user commands or internal programs. On the other hand, the control unit 180 can control the display unit 151 to display images. At this time, the image displayed on the display unit 151 can be a still image or video, or a 2D image or a 3D image.

[0088] On the other hand, the control unit 180 can display a specified 2D object within the image displayed on the display unit 151. For example, the object can be at least one of the following: a connected webpage (newspaper, magazine, etc.), an EPG (Electronic Program Guide), various menus, widgets, icons, still images, videos, and text.

[0089] On the other hand, the control unit 180 can use amplitude shift keying (ASK) to modulate and / or demodulate the signal. Here, amplitude shift keying (ASK) can refer to a method of modulating the signal by changing the amplitude of the carrier wave according to the data value, or a method of restoring the analog signal to digital data value according to the amplitude of the carrier wave.

[0090] For example, the control unit 180 can modulate the image signal using amplitude keying (ASK) and transmit it via a wireless communication module.

[0091] For example, the control unit 180 can demodulate and process the image signal received by the wireless communication module using amplitude shift keying (ASK).

[0092] Therefore, even without using unique identifiers such as MAC addresses (Media Access Control Addresses) or complex communication protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP), the display device 100 can easily send and receive signals with other adjacent image display devices.

[0093] On the other hand, the display device 100 may also include a camera unit. The camera unit can capture images of the user. Although the camera unit can be implemented with a single camera, it is not limited to this and can also be implemented with multiple cameras. On the other hand, the camera unit can be embedded in the upper part of the display device 100 or configured separately. Image information captured by the camera unit can be input to the control unit 180.

[0094] The control unit 180 can identify the user's position based on the image captured by the camera unit. For example, the control unit 180 can determine the distance (z-axis coordinate) between the user and the display device 100. In addition, the control unit 180 can determine the x-axis coordinate and y-axis coordinate within the display unit 151 corresponding to the user's position.

[0095] The control unit 180 is capable of detecting the user's gesture based on images captured by the camera unit, signals detected by the sensor unit, or a combination thereof.

[0096] The storage unit 185 may store programs for processing and controlling various signals within the control unit 180, and may also store processed image, voice, or data signals. For example, the storage unit 185 may store application programs designed for performing various operations that can be processed using the control unit 180, and may selectively provide a portion of the stored application programs when requested by the control unit 180.

[0097] The programs stored in the storage unit 185 are not subject to any particular restrictions if they can be executed by the control unit 180. The storage unit 140 can also perform the function of temporarily storing image, voice, or data signals received from external devices through the external device interface unit 112. The storage unit 185 can store information about a specified broadcast channel through channel memory functions such as channel mapping.

[0098] Figure 1 The diagram shows the storage unit 185 and the control unit 180 being provided separately, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the control unit 180 may include the storage unit 185.

[0099] The storage unit 185 may include at least one of volatile memory (e.g., DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) etc.) or non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory, hard disk drive (HDD) and solid-state drive (SSD) etc.).

[0100] The power supply unit 190 can supply power to the entire display device 100. In particular, it can supply power to the control unit 180, the display unit 151 for image display, and the audio output unit 152 for audio output, which can be implemented as a system on chip (SOC).

[0101] Specifically, the power supply unit 190 may include: a converter (not shown) that converts AC power to DC power; and a DC / DC converter (not shown) that converts the level of DC power.

[0102] On the other hand, the power supply unit 190 functions to receive power from an external source and distribute power to various components. The power supply unit 190 can be configured to supply AC power by directly connecting to an external power source, or it can include a battery and be used for charging.

[0103] In the former case, it is used with a wired cable, and is difficult to move or has a limited range of movement. In the latter case, although it is free to move, it increases the weight and size to a level comparable to the battery, and in order to charge, it needs to be directly connected to the power cord or combined with the charging placement unit (not shown) that supplies power for a specified period of time.

[0104] The charging unit can be connected to the display device via exposed terminals, or it can wirelessly charge the built-in battery when it is nearby.

[0105] on the other hand, Figure 1 The block diagram of the display device 100 shown is only a block diagram for one embodiment of the present invention. The constituent elements of the block diagram can be integrated, added or omitted according to the specifications of the actual display device 100.

[0106] That is, two or more constituent elements can be integrated into one constituent element, or one constituent element can be split into two or more constituent elements, as needed. Furthermore, the functions performed in each box are only for illustrating embodiments of the present invention, and their specific actions or devices are not limited to the scope of the present invention.

[0107] Recently, as display devices have become thinner and lighter, and with the increasing frequency of use for moving display devices due to camping or outdoor activities, mobility is limited because existing stands are bulky and fixed, and no additional handles are provided for moving display devices.

[0108] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a display device 100 that is portable and can be easily placed without the need for an additional stand. Figure 2 As shown in the perspective view of the combined state of the carrying strap 141 of the display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display device 100 can be transported using the carrying strap 141.

[0109] On the side 130a of the main body cover 130 of the display device 100, a strap loop 142 for connecting a strap 141 may be included. The strap loop 142 may be located at a corner of the main body cover 130 and may include at least two strap loops 142.

[0110] When the shoulder strap loops 142 are respectively set at the three corners, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shoulder strap 141 can be connected to the shoulder strap loops 142 located at both ends of the long side, and the shoulder strap 141 can also be connected to the shoulder strap loops 142 located at both ends of the short side (not shown).

[0111] The shoulder strap 141 can be connected to the display device 100 in a way that facilitates movement, and it is easy to move when the shoulder strap 141 is slung over the shoulder. The shoulder strap loop 142 does not necessarily have to be located at a corner, but can also be located on the side of the main body cover 130.

[0112] Even if the display device 100 is made lighter, the shoulder that comes into contact with the shoulder strap 141 may still experience discomfort due to the weight. To alleviate such discomfort, the shoulder strap 141 may also include an elastic support 145 in the middle.

[0113] The elastic support 145 may contain an elastic material, may be integrally formed on the shoulder strap 141, or may be detachable from the shoulder strap 141. Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating the elastic support 145 of a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 (a) is a diagram showing the end of the elastic support 145. Figure 4 (b) is a diagram showing the deformation of the elastic support 145.

[0114] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), the elastic support 145 includes a shoulder strap hole 1457 through which a shoulder strap 141 passes, and the shoulder strap 141 can pass through along the length of the elastic support 145.

[0115] The elastic support 145 is characterized by its deformability and can contain flexible materials such as silicone. Figure 3 As shown in (b), the curvature of the elastic support 145 can vary along its length.

[0116] When the shoulder strap 141 is not slung over the shoulder, the elastic support 145a has a gentle first curvature. When the shoulder strap 141 is slung over the shoulder, the force is concentrated in the central part of the elastic support 145, causing the elastic support 145b to bend and the curvature to increase to a second curvature.

[0117] The elastic support 145 must be able to deform freely in the length direction in order to stably conform to the shoulder as the curvature changes when it is slung over the shoulder.

[0118] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating the metal plate 1451 of the elastic support 145 of a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown in (a), the elastic support 145 may include: a buffer portion 1455 formed of an elastic material such as silicone; and a metal plate 1451 located therein. The buffer portion 1455 may be manufactured using a double injection molding method so that the metal plate 1451 is located inside, and the buffer portion 1455 may be integrally formed with the metal plate 1451.

[0119] Because the cushioning portion 1455 is elastic, it can improve the wearing comfort of the user's shoulders and distribute the force. The shoulder strap hole 1457 and the fixing groove 1456 described later are all formed in the cushioning portion 1455, and the metal plate 1451 is located inside the cushioning portion 1455 and may not be exposed from the outside.

[0120] Metal plate 1451, as a plate-shaped component made of metal material, is long along its length direction and relatively short along its width direction. For example... Figure 4 As shown in (b), although curvature changes (①) in the length direction are easy to occur, curvature changes (②) in the width direction are not easy to occur due to the short length in the width direction.

[0121] To further limit the curvature variation in the width direction, such as Figure 4 As shown in (a), it may also include a plurality of rigid ribs 1452 that extend along the length direction and are arranged in parallel along the width direction.

[0122] The rigid rib 1452 is formed by pressing the metal plate 1451 on one side to make it bulge towards the other side, thereby increasing the rigidity of the metal plate 1451. However, even if the rigid rib 1452 may undergo elastic deformation when its length in one direction is long, it can limit deformation because it further strengthens the rigidity of the metal plate 1451 in the direction with shorter length.

[0123] The metal plate 1451 can be manufactured in a bent state such that it has a first curvature along the length direction when there is no external force, and can be configured to maintain the first curvature even when no force is applied to the elastic support 145.

[0124] The elastic bracket 145 of the present invention can not only distribute the force pressing down on the shoulder by passing through the shoulder strap 141, but also serve as a bracket for making the display device 100 stand upright on the placement surface.

[0125] Figures 5 to 7 This illustrates a method for fastening a resilient bracket 145 of a display device 100 to a bracket coupling 135 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The bracket coupling 135 may be located behind the main body cover 130 of the display device 100. The bracket coupling 135 may be configured close to the long side 130b of the main body cover 130 and may include a pair of holes adjacent along the long side direction.

[0126] Both ends of the elastic bracket 145 can be inserted into the bracket joint 135. When the two ends of the elastic bracket 145 are inserted into the bracket joint 135, pressure can be applied to both sides of the elastic bracket 145 to give the elastic bracket 145 a curvature greater than the first curvature. Figure 3As shown in (b), when the bending deformation is formed so that the spacing between the two ends of the elastic bracket 145 matches the spacing of the bracket joint 135, the two ends of the elastic bracket 145 can be inserted into the bracket joint 135.

[0127] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), the elastic support 145 may be formed with a fixing groove 1456 to engage with the support joint 135. The fixing groove 1456 may be formed in the direction outside the bending direction of the elastic support 145 and engage with the outer side of the pair of support joints 135.

[0128] As the elastic support 145 opens due to the force restoring the first curvature as the original curvature, the fixing groove 1456 is engaged with the support joint 135 and does not disengage from the support joint 135.

[0129] As mentioned earlier, since the elastic support 145 is restricted in its width direction, therefore, Figure 7 As shown, even if the display device 100 is tilted towards the rear and a force is applied in the width direction of the elastic bracket 145, the elastic bracket 145 will not deform, thereby supporting the display device 100.

[0130] Although the shoulder strap 141 can be removed from the elastic bracket 145 and inserted into the bracket joint, the operation of removing and inserting the shoulder strap 141 is cumbersome. Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the shoulder strap 141 can be connected to the bracket joint 135 while the shoulder strap loops 142 are in place.

[0131] like Figure 6 As shown, when the length of the shoulder strap 141 is sufficiently long, the support joint can be positioned adjacent to the second long side 130b facing the first long side 130a where the shoulder strap loop 142 is located. However, even when the length of the shoulder strap 141 is short, as... Figure 7 As shown, the bracket joint 135 can be formed to be adjacent to the first long side 130a on which the shoulder strap loop 142 is disposed, so that the bracket joint 135 is combined with the elastic bracket 145.

[0132] The length of the shoulder strap 141 may be more than twice the length from the shoulder strap loop 142 to the support joint 135 and the sum of the length of the elastic support 145.

[0133] Reference Figure 3In (a), the strap hole 1457 into which the strap 141 is inserted can be located at both ends of the elastic bracket 145. In this case, when the elastic bracket 145 is inserted into the bracket joint, the strap 141 can be partially inserted into the bracket joint 135. If the strap 141 is twisted, it may be difficult to insert it into the bracket joint 135. Therefore, it is necessary to first align the strap 141 and the elastic bracket 145 in the same plane direction before engaging it with the bracket joint 135.

[0134] Figure 8 This is a diagram illustrating another embodiment of the elastic support 145 of a display device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0135] The strap hole 1457 may not be located at the end of the elastic bracket 145, but may be formed at a position further away from the end than the fixing groove 1456. When the elastic bracket 145 is inserted into the bracket joint, since the strap hole 1457 is not inserted into the bracket joint 135, the strap 141 may not be inserted into the bracket joint 135.

[0136] Although Figure 9 The illustration shows a step, but without the step, the strap hole 1457 is formed at a position slightly separated from the end of the elastic bracket 145, so as to avoid the bracket joint 135 from overlapping with the strap 141.

[0137] Figure 9 This diagram illustrates the state in which the elastic bracket 145 of a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is secured to the handle hole. Figure 9 As shown, it may also include a bracket joint 135, which forms an elastic bracket 145 on the side of the main body cover 130 of the display device 100.

[0138] Unlike the form formed on the back of the main body cover 130, the bracket joint 135 can be located on the side of the main body cover 130, allowing the elastic bracket 145 to function as a handle. The display device 100 can be moved by hand holding the retainer. Depending on the convenience of the transporter, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it can be used as a shoulder strap 141, such as... Figure 9 As shown, it can also be shaped like a handheld handle.

[0139] According to at least one embodiment of the display device 100 of the present invention, it can be carried and placed with a single elastic bracket 145, thereby improving portability and usability.

[0140] In addition, since the placement structure is not complex and small, it can simplify the appearance design and reduce the number of components.

[0141] In addition, the support force can be ensured by using a metal plate 1451 that can deform in one direction.

[0142] In addition, the display device 100 of the present invention has few restrictions on the placement location and can be placed in narrow spaces, thus having an advantage in terms of space utilization.

[0143] The detailed description above should not be construed as restrictive in all respects, but rather as exemplary. The scope of the invention should be determined by a reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all modifications within the equivalent scope of the invention fall within its scope.
