[0082] [Configuration of Display Device 100]

[0083] Figure 1A and Figure 1B An overall configuration example of a display device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure in a first installation state is shown. Figure 1A This is a front view of the display device 100 in its first installation state, viewed from the front (observer's side). Figure 1B This is a top view of the display device 100 in its first installation state, as observed from above.

[0084] Figure 2A and Figure 2B This illustrates a complete configuration example of the display device 100 in its second installation state. Figure 2A This is a front view of the display device 100 in its second installation state, viewed from the front (viewer's side). Figure 2B This is a top view of the display device 100 in its second installation state, as observed from above.

[0085] like Figure 1A , Figure 1B , Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the display device 100 is a so-called fixed display device, which includes a display unit 1 and a bracket 2 that serves as a support for the display unit 1 on a placement surface FS. Note that the placement surface FS is a horizontal surface such as a floor surface, shelf surface, or the upper surface of a board.

[0086] (Display Unit 1)

[0087] Display unit 1 includes, for example, a display panel 11 and a main body 12. The display panel 11 has a display surface 1A that displays an image facing forward, and the main body 12 holds the display panel 11. The display surface 1A is a horizontally elongated rectangular screen extending in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and has a first edge 1R and a second edge 1L, which are positioned opposite each other in the horizontal direction at a center position CP. It should be noted that in this specification, the horizontal direction is referred to as the X-axis direction, the vertical direction as the Y-axis direction, and the front-back direction intersecting the display surface 1A is referred to as the Z-axis direction. Examples of display panels 11 include liquid crystal display devices including liquid crystal layers, organic EL display devices including organic EL elements, etc.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, the main body 12 is, for example, a housing that holds the display panel 11 and a circuit board on which a driving circuit for driving the display panel 11, an image processing circuit, etc., is provided. The main body 12 has a rear surface 1B opposite to the display surface 1A, and mounting portions are provided at two points on the left and right sides of the lower part of the rear surface 1B, for a total of four points. Specifically, the main body 12 includes external mounting portions 13L and 13R provided near the corresponding ends of the display panel 11 in the horizontal direction, and internal mounting portions 14L and 14R provided between these external mounting portions 13L and 13R. The external mounting portions 13L and 13R and the internal mounting portions 14L and 14R are, for example, recessed portions from other parts of the rear surface 1B of the main body 12, and screw holes for screws to be screwed in are provided at three or more points, for example. It should be noted that... Figure 3 This is a schematic rear view of the rear surface 1B of display unit 1. Figure 3 In the diagram, bracket 2 is not shown.

[0089] (Staff 2)

[0090] like Figure 1A , Figure 1B , Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the bracket 2 includes a first support unit 2A and a second support unit 2B. The first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B are configured as different main bodies, and each is detachably mounted on the display unit 1.

[0091] First installation state ( Figure 1A and Figure 1B In the first mounting state, the first support unit 2A is mounted on the outer mounting portion 13R (first position) between the center position CP and the first edge 1R in the X-axis direction of the display unit 1. In the second mounting state ( Figure 2A and Figure 2B The first support unit 2A is mounted on the inner mounting portion 14L (fourth position) between the center position CP and the second edge 1L in the X-axis direction of the display unit 1. More specifically, as shown... Figure 4A and Figure 5AAs shown, the first support unit 2A includes: a neck 20A as a first attachment portion detachably formed on the display unit 1; a base 21A as a first base portion in contact with the placement surface FS; and an arm 22A that joins the neck 20A and the base 21A together. Here, the plate-like members 23A of the neck 20A and the base 21A (described later) are integrally formed by the arm 22A between the neck 20A and the plate-like members 23A. The neck 20A, arm 22A, and plate-like members 23A of the first support unit 2A can be manufactured, for example, by bending a sheet metal member (such as stainless steel) or by casting. However, the first support unit 2A can be a unit formed by separately molding multiple members and then joining the members by welding or other methods. It should be noted that the elastic member 24A and the cover 25A, which will be described later, of the base 21A can be manufactured separately from the plate-like members 23A and attached to the plate-like members 23A in different processes.

[0092] Figure 4A This is an enlarged perspective view showing the first support unit 2A and its vicinity mounted on the external mounting part 13R in the first installation state. Figure 5A This is an enlarged perspective view showing the first support unit 2A and its vicinity mounted on the internal attachment 14L in the second installation state.

[0093] In the first installation state ( Figure 1A and Figure 1B The second support unit 2B is mounted on the external mounting 13L (second position) between the center position CP and the second edge 1L in the X-axis direction of the display unit 1. In the second mounting state ( Figure 2A and Figure 2B The second support unit 2B is mounted on the inner mounting portion 14R (third position) between the center position CP and the first edge 1R in the X-axis direction of the display unit 1. Therefore, in the left-right positional relationship between the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B, the first mounting state is opposite to the second mounting state. More specifically, as... Figure 4B and Figure 5BAs shown, the second support unit 2B includes: a neck 20B as a second attachment portion detachably formed on the display unit 1; a base 21B as a second base portion contacting the placement surface FS; and an arm 22B joining the neck 20B and the base 21B together. Similar to the first support unit 2A, the second support unit 2B is formed by integrally forming the neck 20B and the plate-like member 23B of the base 21B (described later), with the arm 22B positioned between the neck 20B and the plate-like member 23B. The neck 20B, arm 22B, and plate-like member 23B of the second support unit 2B can be manufactured, for example, by bending a sheet metal member (such as stainless steel) or by casting. However, the second support unit 2B can also be a unit formed by separately molding multiple members and then joining them by welding or other methods. It should be noted that the elastic member 24B and cover 25B of the base 21B, which will be described later, can be manufactured separately from the plate-like member 23B and attached to the plate-like member 23B in a different process.

[0094] Figure 4B This is an enlarged perspective view showing the second support unit 2B and its vicinity mounted on the external mounting part 13L in the first installation state. Figure 5B This is an enlarged perspective view showing the second support unit 2B and its vicinity, which is mounted on the internal mounting section 14R in the second installation state.

[0095] like Figures 4A to 5B As shown, in the display device 100, in the first installation state ( Figure 4A and Figure 4B The first mounting posture of bases 21A and 21B relative to the placement surface FS is different from that in the second mounting state. Figure 5A and Figure 5B The bases 21A and 21B are in a second mounting posture relative to the placement surface FS. That is, in the display device 100, each of the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B in the first mounting state is rotated approximately 90 degrees so that it can be changed from the first mounting state to the second mounting state. Conversely, in the display device 100, each of the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B in the second mounting state is rotated approximately 90 degrees so that it can be changed from the second mounting state to the first mounting state.

[0096] In the display device 100, the distance D1A between the base 21A and the center position CP in the first installation state is ( Figure 1B ) is greater than the distance D2A between the base 21A and the center position CP in the second installation state. Figure 2B ) length. Furthermore, in the first installation state, the distance D1B between the base 21B and the center position CP ( Figure 1BThe distance D2B between the base 21B and the center position CP in the second installation state is greater than that between the base 21B and the center position CP. Figure 2B The length is [not specified]. That is, compared to the second installation state, in the first installation state, bases 21A and 21B are located away from the center position CP in the X-axis direction. Note that, in order to improve support stability, it is desirable that distances D1A and D1B are equal in the first installation state, and distances D2A and D2B are equal in the second installation state.

[0097] More specifically, in the first mounting state, the neck 20A is mounted on the outer mounting portion 13R such that, when viewed from the first edge 1R, at least a portion of the base 21A protrudes from the side opposite the center position CP (i.e., the outer side of the display surface 1A), and the neck 20B is mounted on the outer mounting portion 13L such that, when viewed from the second edge 1L, at least a portion of the base 21B protrudes from the side opposite the center position CP (i.e., the outer side of the display surface 1A). Furthermore, in the second mounting state, the neck 20A is mounted on the inner mounting portion 14L to position the base 21A between the first edge 1R and the center position CP, and the neck 20B is mounted on the inner mounting portion 14R to position the base 21B between the second edge 1L and the center position CP.

[0098] Figure 6A An overall configuration example of the first support unit 2A is shown. For example... Figure 6A As shown, the neck 20A has holes 261A to 263A at the apex of the triangle, and screws NA1 to NA3 (see...). Figure 4A and Figure 5A Insert into holes 261A to 263A. Neck 20A is secured to external mounting part 13R or internal mounting part 14L by screws NA1 to NA3 (see...). Figure 4A and Figure 5A ). Figure 6B An example of the overall configuration of the second support unit 2B is shown. For example... Figure 6B As shown, the neck 20B has holes 261B to 263B at the apex of the triangle, and screws NB1 to NB3 (see...). Figure 4B and Figure 5B Insert into holes 261B to 263B. Neck 20B is secured to external mounting part 13L or internal mounting part 14R by screws NB1-NB3 (see...). Figure 4B and 5B ).

[0099] In the first installation state, the neck 20A is fixed to the external mounting part 13R with screws NA1 and NA3 separated from screw NA2 in the Y-axis direction. Figure 4AIn the second mounting state, the neck 20A is fixed to the internal mounting portion 14L with screws NA2 and NA3 separated from screw NA1 in the Y-axis direction. Figure 5A In the first setting state, the neck 20B is fixed to the external mounting part 13L with screws NB1, NB3 and screw NB2 separated in the Y-axis direction. Figure 4B In the second mounting state, the neck 20B is fixed to the internal mounting part 14R with screws NB2 and NB3 separated from screw NB1 in the Y-axis direction. Figure 5B This ensures that even with a miniaturized bracket 2, the display unit 1 can be prevented from falling in the front-to-back direction (Z-axis direction) in both the first and second mounting states. Note that the necks 20A and 20B can be fixed to the display unit 1 at four or more points.

[0100] Furthermore, the neck 20A is provided with an opening 27A1 and a recess 27A2, the opening 27A1 including a circular hole portion 271A and an elongated hole portion 272A. For example... Figure 4A As shown, two machine screws 15R1 and 15R2 are provided to stand upright on the external mounting portion 13R. Machine screw 15R1 engages in the elongated hole 272A of the opening 27A1, and machine screw 15R2 engages in the recess 27A2, thereby temporarily fixing the first support unit 2A to the external mounting portion 13R before the neck 20A is tightened by screws NA1 to NA3. It should be noted that machine screw 15R1 is inserted into the round hole 271A of the opening 27A1, and then slides into and engages in the elongated hole 272A. Similarly, as Figure 5A As shown, two machine screws 16L1 and 16L2 are provided to stand upright on the internal mounting portion 14L. The machine screw 16L1 engages in the elongated hole 272A of the opening 27A1, and the machine screw 16L2 engages in the recess 27A2. Before the neck 20A is tightened using screws NA1-NA3, the first support unit 2A is temporarily fixed to the internal mounting portion 14L. Note that the machine screw 16L1 is inserted into the round hole 271A of the opening 27A1, and then slides into and engages in the elongated hole 272A.

[0101] The neck 20B is provided with an opening 27B1 and a recess 27B2, the opening 27B1 including a circular hole 271B and an elongated hole 272B. For example... Figure 4BAs shown, two machine screws 15L1 and 15L2 are positioned upright on the external mounting portion 13L. Machine screw 15L1 engages in the elongated hole 272B of the opening 27B1, and machine screw 15L2 engages in the recess 27B2, thereby temporarily securing the second support unit 2B to the external mounting portion 13L before the neck 20B is tightened by screws NB1 to NB3. It should be noted that machine screw 15L1 is inserted into the round hole 271B of the opening 27B1, and then slides into and engages with the elongated hole 272B. Similarly, as... Figure 5B As shown, two machine screws 16R1 and 16R2 are provided to stand upright on the inner mounting portion 14R. The machine screw 16R1 engages in the elongated hole 272B of the opening 27B1, and the machine screw 16R2 engages in the recess 27B2, thereby temporarily fixing the second support unit 2B to the inner mounting portion 14R before the neck 20B is tightened using screws NB1 to NB3. Note that the machine screw 16R1 is inserted into the round hole 271B of the opening 27B1, and then slides into and engages in the elongated hole 272B.

[0102] like Figure 4A , Figure 5A and Figure 6A As shown, the base 21A of the first support unit 2A extends, for example, in the Z-axis direction intersecting the display surface 1A, and includes a plate-like member 23A, an elastic member 24A, and a cover 25A. The plate-like member 23A comprises a high-strength material such as stainless steel and is connected to the end of the arm 22A opposite to the neck 20A. The elastic member 24A comprises an elastic material such as rubber and is mounted on the side of the plate-like member 23A opposite to the arm 22A. The elastic member 24A is, for example, flat and is adhesively fixed to the plate-like member 23A. In the first installation state ( Figure 1A and Figure 1B ) and second installation state ( Figure 2A and Figure 2B In both cases, the elastic member 24A is in contact with the placement surface FS. The cover 25A is a member that covers the elastic member 24A and is detachably disposed on the elastic member 24A. The cover 25A is installed in a first installation state to cover the elastic member 24A and is removed in a second installation state.

[0103] Similarly, as Figure 4B , Figure 5B and Figure 6BAs shown, the base 21B of the second support unit 2B extends, for example, in the Z-axis direction and includes a plate-like member 23B, an elastic member 24B, and a cover 25B. The plate-like member 23B comprises a high-strength material such as stainless steel and is connected to the end opposite the neck 20B of the arm 22B. The elastic member 24B comprises an elastic material such as rubber and is mounted on the side of the plate-like member 23B opposite to the arm 22B. The elastic member 24B has, for example, a flat plate shape and is bonded and fixed to the plate-like member 23B. The elastic member 24B is in a first mounting state ( Figure 1A and Figure 1B ) and second installation state ( Figure 2A and Figure 2B The cover 25B is a component that covers the elastic member 24B and is detachably disposed on the elastic member 24B. The cover 25B is attached to cover the elastic member 24B in a first installation state and is removed in a second installation state.

[0104] Figure 7A This is an enlarged schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the bases 21A and 21B and the placement surface FS in the first installation state. Figure 7B This is an enlarged schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between bases 21A and 21B and the placement surface FS in the second installation state. (See diagram below.) Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, in the first installation state ( Figure 1A and Figure 1B ) and second installation state ( Figure 2A and Figure 2B In the first installation state, the elastic members 24A and 24B are in contact with the placement surface FS. However, the contact portion between the elastic members 24A and 24B and the placement surface FS in the first installation state is different from the contact portion between the elastic members 24A and 24B and the placement surface FS in the second installation state.

[0105] Specifically, in the first installation state, such as Figure 7A As shown, bases 21A and 21B are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the first installation state ( Figure 7A In the second installation state, the end face 24TA of elastic member 24A and the end face 24TB of elastic member 24B both abut against the placement surface FS. Conversely, in the second installation state, as... Figure 7B As shown, bases 21A and 21B have an orientation in which the main surfaces of bases 21A and 21B extend along the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the second mounting state ( Figure 7BIn the first installation state, the main surface 24SA of elastic member 24A and the main surface 24SB of elastic member 24B abut against the placement surface FS. That is, in the second installation state, the ratio (W21A / T21A) of the dimension W21A in the Y-axis direction of base 21A to the dimension T21A in the X-axis direction of base 21A is greater than the ratio (T21A / W21A) of the dimension T21A in the Y-axis direction of base 21A in the X-axis direction of base 21A. Similarly, in the first installation state, the ratio (W21B / T21B) of the dimension W21B in the Y-axis direction of base 21B to the dimension T21B in the X-axis direction of base 21B is greater than the ratio (T21B / W21B) of the dimension T21B in the Y-axis direction of base 21B in the second installation state.

[0106] Therefore, in base 21A, the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic member 24A in the second installation state is wider than the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic member 24A in the first installation state. Similarly, in base 21B, the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic member 24B in the second installation state is wider than the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic member 24B in the first installation state.

[0107] [The operation and effect of display device 100]

[0108] As described above, in the display device 100 according to this embodiment, the display unit 1 is stably supported by a bracket 2, which serves as a support. Furthermore, in the display device 100, a first mounting state and a second mounting state are configured such that the rearrangement of the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B relative to the display unit 1 is selectable, allowing for two viewing positions. This enables the selection of the form in which the display unit 1 is supported based on the user's purpose or preference, the installation environment, etc.

[0109] Specifically, a first mounting state can be selected in an environment where a sufficiently wide placement surface FS can be ensured. In this case, the interval between the base 21A of the first support unit 2A and the base 21B of the second support unit 2B becomes wider, which ensures sufficient support stability, for example, even when the bases 21A and 21B are set upright on the placement surface FS. Conversely, in an environment where a sufficiently wide placement surface FS cannot be ensured, a second mounting state can be selected. In the second mounting state, the interval between the bases 21A and 21B becomes narrower compared to the first mounting state; however, for example, the bases 21A and 21B have an orientation in which their main surfaces face the placement surface FS, thereby ensuring sufficient support stability.

[0110] Furthermore, mounting portions (external mounting portions 13L and 13R) are provided for the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B in the first mounting state, and mounting portions (internal mounting portions 14L and 14R) are provided for the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B in the second mounting state. Therefore, although the mounting posture of the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B relative to the placement surface FS is different in the first mounting state than in the second mounting state, the height of the display unit 1 from the placement surface FS can be made substantially equal between the first and second mounting states.

[0111] Furthermore, in the display device 100, a first support unit 2A and a second support unit 2B, shared by both the first and second mounting states, are used. Additionally, two elastic members 24A and 24B are configured to contact the placement surface FS in both the first and second mounting states. Therefore, compared to cases where brackets or similar components are used for different first and second mounting states, the number of parts is reduced, which helps to lower costs, eliminates the need for complex user work such as storage, and eliminates the possibility of lost parts.

[0112] Furthermore, in the display device 100, each of the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B is integrated, thereby reducing the number of parts and thus lowering costs. Additionally, rearranging the first and second installation states by the user is easy.

[0113] Furthermore, in the display device 100, in the first mounting state, the neck 20A is mounted on the external mounting portion 13R such that at least a portion of the base 21A protrudes beyond the display surface 1A, and the neck 20B is mounted on the external mounting portion 13L such that at least a portion of the base 21B protrudes beyond the display surface 1A. Therefore, in the first mounting state, reflections of the bases 21A and 21B onto the display surface 1A can be prevented, resulting in improved image visibility. Furthermore, in the second mounting state, the base 21A is located between the first edge 1R and the center position CP, and the base 21B is located between the second edge 1L and the center position CP. Therefore, in the second mounting state, compared to the first mounting state, it can be mounted on a placement surface FS with a smaller width, thus increasing the flexibility of the mounting position.

[0114] Furthermore, in the display device 100, in the first mounting state, bases 21A and 21B are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. Specifically, the dimension ratio W21A / T21A of base 21A in the first mounting state is greater than the dimension ratio T21A / W21A of base 21A in the second mounting state, and the dimension ratio W21B / T21B of base 21B in the first mounting state is greater than the dimension ratio T21B / W21B of base 21B in the second mounting state. Therefore, in the first mounting state, the amount of protrusion of base 21A from the display unit 1 and the amount of protrusion of base 21B from the display unit 1 can be reduced, resulting in excellent aesthetics. In contrast, in the second mounting state, the area of ​​the surfaces of bases 21A and 21B opposite to the placement surface FS is greater than that in the first mounting state, thereby improving support stability.

[0115] Furthermore, in the display device 100, the contact portions between the elastic members 24A and 24B and the placement surface FS in the first installation state are different from those in the second installation state, thereby increasing the flexibility of design choices.

[0116] Furthermore, in the display device 100, in the second mounting state, the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic members 24A and 24B in the bases 21A and 21B is wider than the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic members 24A and 24B in the first mounting state. Therefore, even in the second mounting state where the gap between the bases 21A and 21B is narrowed, the support stability of the bracket 2 for the display unit 1 is still improved.

[0117] Furthermore, in the display device 100, necks 20A and 20B are configured to be fixed to the display unit 1 at multiple points, including three points that serve as the apex positions of a triangle. This further improves the support stability in the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

[0118] <2. Second Implementation Method>

[0119] [Configuration of display device 200]

[0120] Figure 8A and Figure 8B An overall configuration example of a display device 200 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure in a first installation state is shown. Figure 8A This is a front view of the display device 200 in its first installation state, as viewed from the front (the observer's side). Figure 8B This is a top view of the display device 200 in its first installation state, as seen from above.

[0121] Figure 9A and Figure 9BAn overall configuration example of the display device 200 in a second installation state is shown. Figure 9A This is a front view of the display device 200 in its second installation state, viewed from the front (observer's side). Figure 9B This is a top view of the display device 200 in its second installation state, as seen from above.

[0122] like Figure 8A , Figure 8B , Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown, the display device 200 is a so-called fixed display device, which includes a display unit 3 and a support 4 that supports the display unit 3 on the placement surface FS.

[0123] (Display Unit 3)

[0124] Display unit 3 has essentially the same configuration as display unit 1 according to the first embodiment described above. Display unit 3 includes, for example, a display panel 31 and a main body 32. The display panel 31 has a display surface 3A that displays an image facing forward, and the main body 32 holds the display panel 31. The display surface 3A is a horizontally elongated rectangular screen extending in both the X-axis and Y-axis directions, and has a first edge 3R and a second edge 3L, the first and second edges being positioned opposite each other in the X-axis direction, with a center position CP between them. Examples of display panel 31 include liquid crystal display devices including liquid crystal layers, organic EL display devices including organic EL elements, etc.

[0125] The main body 32 is, for example, a housing that holds the display panel 31 and a circuit board on which a driving circuit for driving the display panel 31, an image processing circuit, etc., is provided. The main body 32 has a rear surface 3B opposite to the display surface 3A. The lower part of the main body 32 has mounting holes 33L and 33R on the left and right sides, respectively. Both mounting holes 33L and 33R have downward-pointing openings and extend in the Y-axis direction. Specifically, the mounting hole 33R is located in the X-axis direction at a position (first position) between the center position CP and the first edge 3R, and the mounting hole 33L is located in the X-axis direction at a position (second position) between the center position CP and the second edge 3L.

[0126] (Staff 4)

[0127] like Figure 8A , Figure 8B , Figure 9A and Figure 9BAs shown, the bracket 4 includes a first support unit 4A and a second support unit 4B. The first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B are configured as different bodies, and each is detachably mounted on the display unit 3. In the display device 200, the mounting positions of the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B on the display unit 3 are interchanged, which allows switching between a first mounting state and a second mounting state.

[0128] In the first installation state ( Figure 8A and Figure 8B The first support unit 4A is installed in the mounting hole 33R of the display unit 3. In the second installation state ( Figure 9A and Figure 9B The first support unit 4A is installed in the mounting hole 33L of the display unit 3.

[0129] More specifically, such as Figure 10A As shown, the first support unit 4A includes: a neck 40A as a first attachment portion detachably formed on the display unit 3; a base 41A as a first base portion in contact with the placement surface FS; and a beam 42A that joins the neck 40A and the base 41A together. Figure 10A This is a perspective view of the overall configuration of the first support unit 4A. The neck 40A is a portion extending in the Y-axis direction in both the first and second mounting states, and has a shape that allows it to be inserted into both mounting holes 33R and 33L. Inserting the neck 40A into either mounting hole 33R or mounting hole 33L allows the first support unit 4A to be held by the display unit 3 with sufficient strength without falling over due to its weight. Furthermore, the first support portion 4A can be detached from the display unit 3 by forcefully pulling it. Additionally, for example, a beam 42A is a portion extending in the X-axis direction in both the first and second mounting states. Furthermore, the base 41A includes... Figure 8B and Figure 9B The plan view shows legs 41A1 and 41A2 extending in opposite directions. In the first and second mounting states, legs 41A1 and 41A2 extend downwards from the point of coupling to beam 42A with increasing distance. An elastic member 43A1 is mounted at the top of leg 41A1, and an elastic member 43A2 is mounted at the top of leg 41A2. Furthermore, the neck 40A and the base 41A are integrally formed across beam 42A.

[0130] The second support unit 4B has a structure that is symmetrical to the first support unit 4A. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 10BAs shown, the second support unit 4B includes: a neck 40B, which serves as a second attachment portion detachably formed on the display unit 3; a base 41B, which serves as a second base portion in contact with the placement surface FS; and a beam 42B, which joins the neck 40B and the base 41B together. Figure 10B This is a perspective view of the overall configuration of the second support unit 4B. The neck 40B is a portion extending in the Y-axis direction in both the first and second mounting states, and has a shape that allows insertion into both mounting holes 33R and 33L. Inserting the neck 40B into either mounting hole 33R or mounting hole 33L allows the second support unit 4B to be held by the display unit 3 with sufficient strength to prevent it from tipping over due to its weight. Furthermore, forcefully pulling the second support unit 4B allows it to be removed from the display unit 3. Additionally, the beam 42B is a portion extending in the X-axis direction, for example, in both the first and second mounting states. Furthermore, the base 41B includes... Figure 8B and Figure 9B The plan view shows legs 41B1 and 41B2 extending in opposite directions. In both the first and second mounting states, legs 41B1 and 41B2 extend downwards from the point connected to beam 42B with increasing distance. An elastic member 43B1 is mounted at the top of leg 41B1, and an elastic member 43B2 is mounted at the top of leg 41B2. Furthermore, the neck 40B and the base 41B are integrally formed across beam 42B.

[0131] In the display device 200, the distance D3A between the base 41A and the center position CP in the first installation state is ( Figure 8B The distance D4A between the base 41A and the center position CP in the second installation state is greater than that between the base 41A and the center position CP. Figure 9B ) length. Furthermore, the distance D3B between the base 41B and the center position CP in the first installation state ( Figure 8B The distance D3B between the base 41B and the center position CP in the second installation state is greater than that between the base 41B and the center position CP. Figure 9B The length is [not specified]. That is, in the first installation state, compared with the second installation state, bases 41A and 41B are located further away from the center position CP in the X-axis direction. In addition, from the viewpoint of improving support stability, it is desirable that the distances D3A and D3B are equal in the first installation state, and that the distances D4A and D4B are equal in the second installation state.

[0132] In the display device 200, the postures of the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B in the first mounting state are substantially the same as those in the second mounting state. Therefore, in the display device 200, the contact portions between the elastic members 43A1 and 43A2 and the placement surface FS in the first mounting state are the same as those in the second mounting state. Similarly, the contact portions between the elastic members 43B1 and 43B2 and the placement surface FS in the first mounting state are the same as those in the second mounting state.

[0133] In the display device 200, in a first mounting state, the neck 40A is inserted into the mounting hole 33R to mount the first support unit 4A onto the display unit 3, and the neck 40B is inserted into the mounting hole 33L to mount the second support unit 4B onto the display unit 3. Furthermore, in a second mounting state, the neck 40B is inserted into the mounting hole 33R to mount the second support unit 4B onto the display unit 3, and the neck 40A is inserted into the mounting hole 33L to mount the first support unit 4A onto the display unit 3.

[0134] Furthermore, in the first installation state, the neck 40A is installed in the mounting hole 33R to place the base 41A between the first edge 3R and the center position CP. Note that... Figure 8A and Figure 8B As an example, the position of the base 41A is shown to be substantially aligned with the position of the first edge 3R in the X-axis direction. Similarly, in the first mounting state, the neck 40B is installed in the mounting hole 33L to place the base 41B between the second edge 3L and the center position CP. It should be noted that... Figure 8A and Figure 8B As an example, the position of the base 41B in the X-axis direction is basically consistent with the position of the second edge 3L.

[0135] In contrast, in the second mounting configuration, the neck 40A is installed in the mounting hole 33L to place the base 41A between the second edge 3L and the center position CP. Note that... Figure 9A and Figure 9B As an example, the base 41A is positioned inside the mounting hole 33L in the X-axis direction. Similarly, in the second mounting state, the neck 40B is installed in the mounting hole 33R to place the base 41B between the first edge 3R and the center position CP. It should be noted that... Figure 9A and Figure 9B As an example, the position of the base 41B is shown inside the mounting hole 33R in the X-axis direction.

[0136] [The operation and effect of display device 200]

[0137] As described above, in the display device 200 according to this embodiment, the display unit 3 is stably supported by the bracket 4, which serves as a support. Furthermore, in the display device 200, the first mounting state and the second mounting state are configured to be selectable by alternating the mounting positions of the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B on the display unit 3. Therefore, two viewing positions can be achieved in the display device 200. This allows the support form of the display unit 3 to be selected according to the user's purpose or preference, the installation environment, etc.

[0138] Specifically, in environments where a sufficiently wide placement surface FS can be ensured, a first installation state can be selected. Conversely, in environments where a sufficiently wide placement surface FS cannot be ensured, a second installation state can be selected.

[0139] Furthermore, in the display device 200, the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B are configured such that necks 40A and 40B are connected to bases 41A and 41B respectively via beams 42A and 42B extending along the X-axis. Therefore, the positions of bases 41A and 41B abutting against the placement surface FS can be changed in both the first and second mounting states, while simultaneously allowing the mounting holes 33L and 33R for attaching necks 40A and 40B to be shared in both states. This allows for a simple configuration without the need to form additional mounting holes in the display unit 3.

[0140] Furthermore, in the display device 200, the postures of the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B in the first mounting state are substantially the same as those in the second mounting state. That is, in the display device 200, when switching between the first and second mounting states, it is sufficient if the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B move parallel to each other without rotation, and the mounting positions on the left and right sides alternate. Therefore, the height of the display unit 3 from the placement surface FS can be made substantially equal between the first and second mounting states.

[0141] Furthermore, in the display device 200, the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B, which are shared in both the first and second mounting states, are each used. Therefore, compared to cases where brackets or similar components are used for different first and second mounting states, the number of parts is reduced, which helps to lower costs, eliminates the need for complex user work such as storage, and eliminates the possibility of losing parts.

[0142] Furthermore, in the display device 200, each of the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B is integrated, thereby reducing the number of parts and thus lowering costs. Additionally, rearranging the first and second installation states by the user is easy.

[0143] Furthermore, in the display device 200, the contact portions between the elastic members 43A1 and 43A2 and the placement surface FS in the first mounting state are the same as those in the second mounting state. Similarly, the contact portions between the elastic members 43B1 and 43B2 and the placement surface FS in the first mounting state are the same as those in the second mounting state. Therefore, it is easy to reduce the size of the elastic members 43A1 and 43A2 and the elastic members 43B1 and 43B2, making it easy to adapt to various designs.

[0144] In the display device 200, in both the first mounting state and the second mounting state, each of the necks 40A and 40B is inserted into a corresponding one of the mounting holes 33L and 33R, so that the first support unit 4A and the second support unit 4B can be mounted on the display unit 3. This allows for easy rearrangement of the first and second mounting states.

[0146] [Configuration of Display Device 300]

Figure 11A This is a front view of the display device 300 in its first installation state, viewed from the front (the observer's side). Figure 11B This is a top view of the display device 300 in its first installation state, as seen from above.

Figure 12A This is a front view of the display device 300 in its second installation state, viewed from the front (observer's side). Figure 12B This is a top view of the display device 300 in its second installation state, as seen from above.

[0149] like Figure 11A , Figure 11B , Figure 12A and Figure 12BAs shown, the display device 300 is a so-called fixed display device, which includes a display unit 5 and a bracket 6 that supports the display unit 5 on a placement surface FS. In the display device 300, in a first mounting state, a first height H1 in the Y-axis direction from the placement surface FS to the lower end of the display unit 5 is higher than in a second mounting state, a second height H2 in the Y-axis direction from the placement surface FS to the lower end of the display unit 5. That is, the first mounting state is a high position state in which the display unit 5 is mounted at a relatively high position, and the second mounting state is a low position state in which the display unit 5 is mounted at a relatively low position.

[0150] (Display Unit 5)

[0151] Display unit 5 has essentially the same configuration as display unit 1 according to the first embodiment described above. Display unit 5 includes, for example, a display panel 51 and a main body 52. ​​Display panel 51 has a display surface 5A that displays an image facing forward, and the main body 52 holds display panel 51. Display surface 5A is a horizontally elongated rectangular screen extending in both the X-axis and Y-axis directions, and has a first edge 5R and a second edge 5L, which are positioned opposite each other in the X-axis direction at a center position CP. Examples of display panel 51 include liquid crystal display devices including liquid crystal layers, organic EL display devices including organic EL elements, etc.

[0152] The main body 52 is, for example, a housing that holds the display panel 51 and a circuit board on which drive circuitry for driving the display panel 51, image processing circuitry, etc., are provided. The main body 52 has a rear surface 5B opposite to the display surface 5A. A mounting portion 53R is provided near the first edge 5R at the lower part of the main body 52, and a mounting portion 53L is provided near the second edge 5L. Figure 13A As shown, the mounting portion 53R has a plurality of screw holes 54R (541R to 544R) arranged along the first straight line LN1. Figure 13B As shown, the mounting portion 53L has a plurality of screw holes 54L (541L to 544L) arranged along the second straight line LN2. It should be noted that... Figure 13A This is an enlarged view of the mounting portion 53R and its vicinity on the rear surface 5B of the display unit 5.

[0154] like Figure 11A , Figure 11B , Figure 12A and Figure 12BAs shown, the bracket 6 includes a first support unit 6A and a second support unit 6B. The first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B are configured as different main bodies and are each detachably mounted on the display unit 5. In the display device 300, switching between a first mounting state and a second mounting state can be achieved through the following rearrangement operation. Specifically, firstly, the mounting positions of the first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B on the display unit 5 are interchanged. Furthermore, the mounting postures of both the first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B on the display unit 5 are changed. In the display device 300, this rearrangement operation switches between a high position state and a low position state.

[0155] In the first installation state ( Figure 11A and Figure 11B The first support unit 6A is mounted on the mounting portion 53R (first position) between the center position CP and the first edge 5R in the X-axis direction of the display unit 5. In the second mounting state ( Figure 12A and Figure 12B The first support unit 6A is mounted on the mounting portion 53L (second position) between the center position CP and the second edge 5L in the X-axis direction of the display unit 5. In the first mounting state ( Figure 11A and Figure 11B The second support unit 6B is mounted on the mounting portion 53L (second position) between the center position CP and the second edge 5L in the X-axis direction of the display unit 5. In the second mounting state ( Figure 12A and Figure 12B The second support unit 6B is installed on the mounting portion 53R (first position) between the center position CP and the first edge 5R in the X-axis direction of the display unit 5.

Figure 14B This is a magnified rear view of the first support unit 6A and its attachments mounted on the mounting section 53L in the second installation state of the display device 300. Figure 15A This is a magnified rear view of the second support unit 6B and its vicinity mounted on the mounting portion 53L in the display device 300, in the first state. Figure 15B This is a magnified rear view of the second support unit 6B mounted on the mounting section 53R in the device 300 and its vicinity, displayed in a second installation state. Furthermore, Figure 16A This is an exploded perspective view of the first support unit 6A. Figure 16B This is an exploded perspective view of the second support unit 6B.

[0157] like Figure 14A , Figure 14B and Figure 16A As shown, the first support unit 6A includes, for example, a neck 60A as a first attachment portion, a base 61A as a first base portion, and a joint portion 62A that joins the neck 60A and the base 61A together. The neck 60A is formed to be detachable from both the mounting portion 53R and the mounting portion 53L of the display unit 5. The base 61A includes a plate-like member 63A and an elastic member 64A. The plate-like member 63A includes a body 631A and a cover 632A, the cover 632A covering the surface of the body 631A except for the surface that abuts against the elastic member 64A. The neck 60A and the base 61A are formed integrally with the joint portion 62A interposed therebetween. The cover 65A may be further configured to cover the neck 60A and the joint portion 62A. The body 631A of the plate-like member 63A includes a high-strength material such as stainless steel and is coupled to the tip of the joint portion 62A on the side opposite to the portion coupled to the neck 60A. The elastic member 64A comprises, for example, an elastic material such as rubber, and is mounted on the side of the main body 631A opposite to the joint 62A. The elastic member 64A is, for example, flat and is bonded to the main body 631A of the plate-shaped member 63A. The elastic member 64A is capable of contacting the placement surface FS in both a first and a second mounting state.

[0158] like Figure 15A , Figure 15B and Figure 16B As shown, the second support unit 6B includes, for example, a neck 60B serving as a first attachment, a base 61B serving as a first base, and a joint 62B joining the neck 60B and the base 61B together. The neck 60B is configured to be detachable from both the mounting portion 53R and the mounting portion 53L of the display unit 5. The base 61B includes a plate-like member 63B and an elastic member 64B. The plate-like member 63B includes a body 631B and a cover 632B, the cover 632B covering the surface of the body 631B except for the surface abutting the elastic member 64B. The neck 60B and the base 61B are integrally formed with the joint 62B interposed therebetween. A cover 65B may also be provided to cover the neck 60B and the joint 62B. The body portion 631B of the plate-like member 63B is made of a high-strength material such as stainless steel and is coupled to the tip portion of the joint 62B on the side opposite to the portion coupled to the neck 60B. The elastic member 64B comprises, for example, an elastic material such as rubber, and is mounted on the side of the main body 631B opposite to the joint 62B. The elastic member 64B is, for example, flat and is bonded to the main body 631B of the plate-shaped member 63B. The elastic member 64B is capable of contacting the placement surface FS in both a first and a second mounting state.

[0159] like Figures 14A to 15B As shown, in the display device 300, in the first installation state ( Figure 14A and Figure 15A The first mounting posture of the lower bases 61A and 61B relative to the placement surface FS is different from that in the second mounting state. Figure 14B and Figure 15B The lower bases 61A and 61B are in a second mounting posture relative to the placement surface FS. That is, in the display device 300, each of the first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B in the first mounting state is rotated approximately 90 degrees so that it can be changed from the first mounting state to the second mounting state. Conversely, in the display device 300, each of the first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B in the second mounting state is rotated approximately 90 degrees so that it can be changed from the second mounting state to the first mounting state.

[0160] like Figure 14A As shown, the neck 60A has a plurality of holes 641A to 644A at positions corresponding to screw holes 541R to 544R arranged along the first straight line LN1, into which screws NR1 to NR4 are inserted. The neck 60A is fastened to the mounting portion 53R by screws NR1 to NR4 (see... Figure 14A It should be noted that, for example Figure 14B As shown, in the second mounting state, holes 641A to 644A in the neck 60A are respectively located at positions corresponding to screw holes 541L to 544L arranged along the second straight line LN2. Therefore, in the second mounting state, screws NL1 to NL4 are inserted into holes 641A to 644A, and the neck 60A is fastened to the mounting portion 53L by screws NL1 to NL4 (see...). Figure 14B It should be noted that the neck 60A can be fixed to the display unit 5 at three, five, or more points. Furthermore, the neck 60A can be fixed to the display unit 5 using fasteners instead of screws.

[0161] like Figure 15A As shown, the neck 60B has a plurality of holes 641B to 644B at positions corresponding to screw holes 541L to 544L arranged along the second straight line LN2, into which screws NL1 to NL4 are inserted. The neck 60B is fastened to the mounting portion 53L by screws NL1 to NL4 (see...). Figure 15A It should be noted that, for example Figure 15B As shown, in the second mounting state, holes 641B to 644B in the neck 60B are respectively located at positions corresponding to screw holes 541R to 544R arranged along the first straight line LN1. Therefore, in the second mounting state, screws NR1 to NR4 are inserted into holes 641B to 644B, and the neck 60B is fastened to the mounting portion 53R by screws NR1 to NR4 (see...). Figure 15B It should be noted that the neck 60B can be fixed to the display unit 5 at three, five, or more points. Furthermore, the neck 60B can be fixed to the display unit 5 using fasteners other than screws.

[0162] Furthermore, in the display device 300, the contact portions of the elastic members 64A and 64B with the placement surface FS in the first mounting state are different from the contact portions of the elastic members 64A and 64B with the placement surface FS in the second mounting state. Specifically, in the first mounting state, as... Figure 14A and Figure 15A As shown, bases 61A and 61B are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the first installation state, the end face 64TA of elastic member 64A and the end face 64TB of elastic member 64B respectively abut against the placement surface FS. Conversely, in the second installation state, as... Figure 14B and Figure 15B As shown, bases 61A and 61B are positioned such that their main surfaces extend along the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the second installation state, the main surface 64SA of elastic member 64A and the main surface 64SB of elastic member 64B each abut against the placement surface FS.

[0163] Therefore, in base 61A, the contact area between the placement surface FS in the first mounting state and the elastic member 64A is narrower than the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic member 64A in the second mounting state. Similarly, in base 61B, the contact area between the placement surface FS in the first mounting state and the elastic member 64B is narrower than the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic member 24B in the second mounting state.

[0164] [The operation and effects of display device 300]

[0165] As described above, in the display device 300 according to this embodiment, the display unit 5 is stably supported by a bracket 6, which serves as a support. Furthermore, in the display device 300, a first mounting state and a second mounting state are configured to be selectable by rearranging the first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B relative to the display unit 5, allowing for two viewing positions. This enables the selection of the support form for the display unit 5 according to the user's purpose or preference, the installation environment, etc.

[0166] Specifically, such as Figure 11A As shown, for example, when an audio device (such as a soundbar SB or any other device) is mounted on the placement surface FS, a high position state, i.e., the first mounting state, can be selected. Selecting the high position state prevents the display surface 5A of the display unit 5 from being obstructed by any other device, such as the soundbar SB. Conversely, in the case where no other such device is installed, as... Figure 12AAs shown, a low-position state can be selected. In this case, the display unit 5 can be placed closer to the placement surface FS, which enhances the aesthetics.

[0167] Furthermore, in the display device 300, in a first mounting state, the neck 60A can be fastened to the mounting portion 53R by four screws NR1 to NR4 arranged along a first straight line LN1 and screw holes 541R and 544R, and in a second mounting state, the neck 60A can be fastened to the mounting portion 53L by four screws NL1 to NL4 arranged along a second straight line LN2 and screw holes 541L to 544L. Similarly, in the first mounting state, the neck 60B can be fastened to the mounting portion 53L by four screws NL1 to NL4 arranged along a second straight line LN2 and screw holes 541L and 544L, and in the second mounting state, the neck 60B can be fastened to the mounting portion 53R by four screws NR1 to NR4 arranged along the first straight line LN1 and screw holes 541R to 544R. Therefore, the mounting portion 53R, screws NR1 to NR4, screw holes 541R to 544R, mounting portion 53L, screws NL1 to NL4, and screw holes 541L to 544L can be shared in both the first and second mounting states. This allows for maintaining a simple configuration without the need to form additional mounting portions in the display unit 5.

[0168] Furthermore, in the display device 300, the first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B, which are shared in both the first and second mounting states, are used by interchangeably alternating their mounting positions. Additionally, each of the elastic members 64A and 64B is configured to contact the placement surface FS in both the first and second mounting states. Therefore, compared to using different supports for the first and second mounting states, the number of components is reduced, which helps to lower costs, eliminates the need for complex user work such as storage, and eliminates the possibility of lost components.

[0169] Furthermore, in the display device 300, the first support unit 6A and the second support unit 6B are integrated, thereby reducing the number of components and helping to lower costs. In addition, the rearrangement of the first and second installation states by the user is easy.

[0170] Furthermore, in the display device 300, the contact portions between the elastic members 64A and 64B and the placement surface FS in the first installation state are different from those in the second installation state, thereby increasing the flexibility of design choices.

[0171] Furthermore, in the display device 300, the contact area between the placement surface FS in the bases 61A and 61B and the elastic members 64A and 64B in the first mounting state is narrower than the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic members 24A and 24B in the second mounting state. Therefore, in the high position state as the first mounting state, the possibility of interference from the installation of other devices such as a soundbar is smaller.

[0172] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a plurality of additional screw holes arranged in a direction different from the first straight line LN1 can be further provided in the mounting portion 53R. Similarly, a plurality of additional screw holes arranged in a direction different from the second straight line LN2 can be further provided in the mounting portion 53L. This allows for a third mounting state in which the height of the display unit 5 differs from that in the first and second mounting states, in addition to the first and second mounting states. That is, the height of the display unit 5 can be set in multiple levels.

[0174] [Configuration of Display Device 400]

[0175] Figure 17A and Figure 17B An overall configuration example of a display device 400 in a first installation state according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 17A This is a front view of the display device 400 in its first installation state, viewed from the front (the observer's side). Figure 17B This is a top view of the display device 400 in its first installation state, as seen from above.

[0176] Figure 18A and Figure 18B An overall configuration example is shown in the second installation state of the display device 400. Figure 18A This is a front view of the display device 400 in its second installation state, viewed from the front (viewer's side). Figure 18B This is a top view of the display device 400 in its second installation state, as observed from above.

[0177] Figure 19A This is a perspective view of the display device 400 in its first installation state, viewed from a frontal angle at an angle. Figure 19B This is a perspective view of the display device 400 in its second installation state, viewed from a frontal angle.

[0178] like Figures 17A to 19BAs shown, the display device 400 is a so-called fixed display device, which includes a display unit 7 and a bracket 8 serving as a support on the placement surface FS. In the display device 400, in the first installation state, the first height H1 in the Y-axis direction from the placement surface FS to the lower end of the display unit 7 ( Figure 17A The height H2 in the Y-axis direction from the placement surface FS to the lower end of the display unit 7 in the second installation state is higher than that in the second installation state. Figure 18A That is, the first installation state is a high position state in which the display unit 7 is installed at a relatively high position, and the second installation state is a low position state in which the display unit 7 is installed at a relatively low position.

[0179] (Display Unit 7)

[0180] Display unit 7 has essentially the same configuration as display unit 1 according to the first embodiment described above. Display unit 7 includes, for example, a display panel 71 and a main body 72. The display panel 71 has a display surface 7A that displays an image facing forward, and the main body 72 holds the display panel 71. The display surface 7A is a horizontally elongated rectangular screen extending in both the X-axis and Y-axis directions, having a first edge 7R and a second edge 7L arranged opposite to each other in the X-axis direction at a center position CP. Examples of display panel 71 include liquid crystal display devices including liquid crystal layers, organic EL display devices including organic EL elements, etc.

[0181] The main body 72 is, for example, a housing that holds the display panel 71 and a circuit board on which drive circuitry for driving the display panel 71, image processing circuitry, etc., are provided. The main body 72 has a rear surface 7B opposite to the display surface 7A. The lower part of the main body 72 has a mounting hole 73L on the left and a mounting hole 73R on the right. Both mounting holes 73L and 73R have downward openings and extend in the Y-axis direction. Specifically, the mounting hole 73R is located between the center position CP in the X-axis direction and the first edge 7R (first position), and the mounting hole 73L is located between the center position CP in the X-axis direction and the second edge 7L (second position).

[0182] (Staff 8)

[0183] like Figures 17A to 19BAs shown, the bracket 8 includes a first support unit 8A and a second support unit 8B. The bracket 8 also includes: a neck 80R, serving as a first attachment portion detachably formed on a mounting hole 73R (first position) in the display unit 7; and a neck 80L, serving as a second attachment portion detachably formed on a mounting hole 73L (second position) in the display unit 7. The first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B are configured as different bodies, and each support unit is configured to be detachable from both the neck 80R and the neck 80L. In the display device 400, the mounting positions of the first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B on the display unit 7 are interchangeable, allowing switching between a first mounting state and a second mounting state.

[0184] The first support unit 8A includes a base 81A, which is connected to the neck 80R in a first mounting state and to the neck 80L in a second mounting state. The second support unit 8B includes a base 81B, which is connected to the neck 80L in a first mounting state and to the neck 80R in a second mounting state.

[0185] Figure 20A This is a detailed rear view of the first support unit 8A in its first installation state (high position state), and Figure 20B This is a detailed rear view of the first support unit 8A in its second installation state (low position). Figure 21 This is an exploded perspective view of base 81A. Note that... Figure 20A The neck 80R is also shown. Figure 20B and Figure 21 The neck size of 80L is also shown. Furthermore, Figure 22A This is a partially enlarged perspective view showing the positional relationship between a portion of the first support unit 8A and the neck 80R in the first installation state. Figure 22B This is a partially enlarged perspective view showing the positional relationship between a portion of the first support unit 8A and the neck 80L in the second installation state.

[0186] like Figure 20A and Figure 20B As shown, the base 81A includes a connecting portion 82A as a first connecting portion, legs 83A1 and 83A2, and elastic members 84A1 and 84A2. Figure 20A and Figure 20BAs shown, the base 81A can be attached to the neck 80R in a first posture and to the neck 80L in a second posture. In this embodiment, the first posture is when the legs 83A1 and 83A2 are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. In this embodiment, the second posture is when the legs 83A1 and 83A2 are positioned laterally extending along the placement surface FS. The connecting portion 82A of the base 81A can be connected to the neck 80R in the first posture and to the neck 80L in the second posture. The legs 83A1 and 83A2 are each connected to the connecting portion 82A and extend approximately along the Z-axis to, for example... Figure 17B and 18B In the top view shown, they move away from each other. Furthermore, elastic member 84A1 is attached to the end of leg 83A1 opposite to the connecting portion 82A by adhesive or the like, and elastic member 84A2 is attached to the end of leg 83A2 opposite to the connecting portion 82A by adhesive or the like.

[0187] like Figure 21 As shown, the first support unit 8A, in addition to the base 81A, also includes, for example, a frame bracket 85A as a first reinforcing member, a clamp 86A, and a cover 87A. The frame bracket 85A is mounted upright on the main surface of the leg 83A2, which serves as the first plate-like member of the base 81A. For example, the frame bracket 85A comprises a high-rigidity material such as stainless steel, and specifically prevents deformation of the legs 83A1 and 83A2 due to the load of the display unit 7 in the second mounting state. The clamp 86A is a component that, for example, clamps a portion of a power cable supplying power to the main body 72 of the display unit 7, portions of various signal cables transmitting signals between the main body 72 and external devices, etc. To improve aesthetics, the cover 87A is detachably configured to cover the frame bracket 85A and the clamp 86A.

[0188] like Figure 22A and Figure 22B As shown, the connecting portion 82A is provided with two screw holes 811A and 812A penetrating from the first surface 82S1A to the second surface 82S2A. Furthermore, the first surface 82S1A of the connecting portion 82A is provided with two protrusions 813A and 814A (…). Figure 22A ), and the second surface 82S2A of the connecting part 82A is provided with two protrusions 815A and 816A ( Figure 22B In contrast, the neck 80R includes a base plate portion 801R and a side plate portion 802R. Figure 22A The base plate 801R is provided with four holes 811R to 814R, each hole 811R to 814R penetrating the base plate 801R. Figure 22A In the first installation state, such as Figure 22AAs shown, the neck 80R and the base 81A are fastened by two screws N8R1 and N8R2. In this case, the lower surface of the base plate 801R and the first surface 82S1A of the connecting portion 82A abut against each other, and screw N8R1 is screwed into screw hole 811A through hole 811R, and screw N8R2 is screwed into screw hole 812A through hole 812R. At this time, before performing the fastening operation with screws N8R1 and N8R2, protrusions 813A and 814A are inserted into holes 813R and 814R respectively to facilitate the positioning of the base 81A relative to the neck 80R.

[0189] like Figure 22B As shown, the neck 80L includes a base plate portion 801L and a side plate portion 802L. Four holes 821L, 822L, 825L, and 826L are provided in the side plate portion 802L. In the second installation state, the neck 80L and the base 81A are fastened together by two screws N8L1 and N8L2. In this case, the outer surface of the side plate portion 802L and the second surface 82S2A of the connecting portion 82A abut against each other. Screw N8L1 is screwed into screw hole 811A through hole 821L, and screw N8L2 is screwed into screw hole 812A through hole 822L. Before performing the fastening operation with screws N8L1 and N8L2, protrusions 815A and 816A are inserted into holes 825L and 826L respectively, making it easy to position the base 81A relative to the neck 80L.

[0190] Both elastic members 84A1 and 84A2 are configured in the first installation state. Figure 20A ) and second installation state ( Figure 20B Both of these can contact the placement surface FS. However, the contact portions of elastic members 84A1 and 84A2 with the placement surface FS in the first mounting state are different from the contact portions of elastic members 84A1 and 84A2 with the placement surface FS in the second mounting state. Specifically, in the first mounting state, as... Figure 20A As shown, legs 83A1 and 83A2 are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the first mounting state ( Figure 20A In the second installation state, the end faces 84TA1 of the elastic member 84A1 and 84TA2 of the elastic member 84A2 abut against the placement surface FS, respectively. Conversely, in the second installation state, as... Figure 20B As shown, legs 83A1 and 83A2 have an orientation in which the main surfaces of legs 83A1 and 83A2 extend along the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the second mounting state ( Figure 20BIn the first installation state, the main surfaces 84SA1 and 84SA2 of the elastic members 84A1 and 84A2 respectively abut against the placement surface FS. At this time, in the base 81A, the contact area between the elastic members 84A1 and 84A2 and the placement surface FS is narrower than that between the elastic members 84A1 and 84A2 and the placement surface FS in the second installation state.

[0191] Furthermore, in the display device 400, the ratio (W81A / T81A) of the dimension W81A in the Y-axis direction to the dimension T81A in the X-axis direction of the portion below the neck 80R of the base 81A in the first mounting state is greater than the ratio (T81A / W81A) of the dimension T81A in the Y-axis direction to the dimension W81A in the X-axis direction of the portion below the neck 80L of the base 81A in the second mounting state.

[0192] Figure 23A This is a detailed rear view of the second support unit 8B in its first installation state (high position). Figure 23B This is a rear view showing details of the second support unit 8B in its second installation state (low position). Figure 24 This is an exploded perspective view of base 81B. It is important to note that... Figure 23A It also shows the neck 80L, and Figure 23B and Figure 24 The neck 80R is also shown. Furthermore, Figure 25A This is a partially enlarged perspective view showing the positional relationship between a portion of the second support unit 8B and the neck 80L in the first installation state. Figure 25B This is a partially enlarged perspective view showing the positional relationship between a portion of the second support unit 8B and the neck 80R in the second installation state.

[0193] like Figure 23A and Figure 23B As shown, the base 81B includes a connecting portion 82B as a second connecting portion, legs 83B1 and 83B2, and elastic members 84B1 and 84B2. Figure 23A and Figure 23B As shown, the base 81B can be attached to the neck 80R in a third posture and to the neck 80L in a fourth posture. In this embodiment, the third posture is that the legs 83B1 and 83B2 are placed laterally extending along the placement surface FS. In this embodiment, the fourth posture is that the legs 83B1 and 83B2 are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. The connecting portion 82B of the base 81B can be connected to the neck 80R in the third posture and to the neck 80L in the fourth posture. The legs 83B1 and 83B2 are each connected to the connecting portion 82B and extend generally along the Z-axis to, for example... Figure 17B and Figure 18BIn the top view shown, they move away from each other. Additionally, elastic member 84B1 is attached to the end of foot 83B1 opposite to the connecting portion 82B by an adhesive or the like, and elastic member 84B2 is attached to the end of foot 83B2 opposite to the connecting portion 82B by an adhesive or the like.

[0194] like Figure 24 As shown, in addition to the base 81B, the second support unit 8B also includes, for example, a frame bracket 85B as a second reinforcing member, a clamp 86B, and a cover 87B. The frame bracket 85B is mounted upright on the main surface of the leg 83B2, which serves as the second plate-like member of the base 81B. For example, the frame bracket 85B is made of a high-rigidity material such as stainless steel, and specifically prevents deformation of the legs 83B1 and 83B2 due to the load of the display unit 7 in the second installed state. The clamp 86B is a component that, for example, clamps a portion of a power cable supplying power to the main body 72 of the display unit 7, portions of various signal cables transmitting signals between the main body 72 and external devices, etc. To improve aesthetics, the cover 87B is detachably configured to cover the frame bracket 85B and the clamp 86B.

[0195] like Figure 25A and Figure 25B As shown, the connecting portion 82B is provided with two screw holes 811B and 812B penetrating from the first surface 82S1B to the second surface 82S2B. Furthermore, the first surface 82S1B of the connecting portion 82B is provided with two protrusions 813B and 814B (…). Figure 25A ), and the second surface 82S2B of the connecting part 82B is provided with two protrusions 815B and 816B ( Figure 25B In contrast, the neck 80L includes a base plate portion 801L and a side plate portion 802L. Figure 25A The base plate 801L is provided with four holes 811L to 814L, each penetrating the base plate 801L. Figure 25A In the first installation state, such as Figure 25A As shown, the neck 80L and the base 81B are fastened by two screws N8L1 and N8L2. In this case, the lower surface of the base plate 801L and the first surface 82S1B of the connecting portion 82B abut against each other, and screw N8L1 is screwed into screw hole 811B through hole 811L, and screw N8L2 is screwed into screw hole 812B through hole 812L. At this time, before performing the fastening operation with screws N8L1 and N8L2, protrusions 813B and 814B are inserted into holes 813L and 814L respectively to facilitate the positioning of the base 81L relative to the neck 80L.

[0196] like Figure 25BAs shown, the neck 80R includes a base plate portion 801R and a side plate portion 802R. Four holes 821R, 822R, 825R, and 826R are provided in the side plate portion 802R. In the second installation state, the neck 80R and the base 81B are fastened by two screws N8R1 and N8R2. In this case, the outer surface of the side plate portion 802R abuts against the second surface 82S2B of the connecting portion 82B, and screw N8R1 is screwed into screw hole 811B through hole 821R, and screw N8R2 is screwed into screw hole 812B through hole 822R. Before performing the fastening operation with screws N8R1 and N8R2, protrusions 815B and 816B are inserted into holes 825R and 826R respectively, making it easy to position the base 81B relative to the neck 80R.

[0197] Elastic members 84B1 and 84B2 are each configured in a first installation state ( Figure 23A ) and second installation state ( Figure 23B Both can contact the placement surface FS. However, the contact portions of elastic members 84B1 and 84B2 with the placement surface FS in the first installation state differ from the contact portions of elastic members 84B1 and 84B2 with the placement surface FS in the second installation state. Specifically, in the first installation state, as... Figure 23A As shown, legs 83B1 and 83B2 are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the first mounting state ( Figure 23A In the second installation state, the end faces 84TB1 and 84TB2 of the elastic member 84B1 and 84TB2 respectively abut against the placement surface FS. Conversely, in the second installation state, as... Figure 23B As shown, legs 83B1 and 83B2 have a posture in which the main surfaces of legs 83B1 and 83B2 extend along the placement surface FS. Therefore, in the second mounting state ( Figure 23B In this configuration, the main surfaces 84SB1 and 84SB2 of elastic member 84B1 and elastic member 84B2 both abut against the placement surface FS. At this time, in the base 81B, the contact area between elastic members 84B1 and 84B2 and the placement surface FS in the first installation state is narrower than the contact area between elastic members 84B1 and 84B2 and the placement surface FS in the second installation state.

[0198] Furthermore, in the display device 400, in the first mounting state, the ratio (W81B / T81B) of the Y-axis dimension W81B to the X-axis dimension T81B of the portion below the neck 80L of the base 81B is greater than the ratio (T81B / W81B) of the Y-axis dimension T81B to the X-axis dimension W81B of the portion below the neck 80R of the base 81B in the second mounting state.

[0199] Therefore, in the display device 400, in the first mounting state, the base 81A is attached to the neck 80R in a first posture, and the base 81B is attached to the neck 80L in a fourth posture. Furthermore, in the second mounting state, the base 81B is attached to the neck 80R in a third posture, and the base 81A is attached to the neck 80L in a second posture. That is, in the display device 400, each of the first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B is rotated approximately 90 degrees in the first mounting state, and the mounting positions on the left and right sides of the first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B are interchanged, so that the first mounting state can be changed to the second mounting state. Conversely, in the display device 400, each of the first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B in the second mounting state is rotated approximately 90 degrees, and the mounting positions on the left and right sides of the first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B are interchanged, so that the second mounting state can be changed to the first mounting state.

[0200] It should be noted that in Japanese patent application JP2019-235743 (which is the basic application of this application) Figure 23B The description of the neck 80R and the second support unit 8B is incorrect, and Figure 23C The description of the neck 80R and the second support unit 8B is correct. Figure 23B In the image, the neck 80R and the second support unit 8B are shown in a horizontally inverted state, which is a clear error.

[0201] Furthermore, in the display device 400 according to this embodiment, in addition to the first and second mounting states, the third and fourth mounting states are configured to be selectable by rearranging the first support unit 2A and the second support unit 2B relative to the display unit 7. That is, in the display device 400 according to this embodiment, four viewing positions can be realized.

[0202] Figure 26A and Figure 26B An overall configuration example of the display device 400 in a third installation state is shown. Figure 26A This is a front view of the display device 400 in its third installation state, viewed from the front (the observer's side). Figure 26B This is a top view of the display device 400 in its third installation state, as observed from above.

[0203] Figure 27A and Figure 27B An overall configuration example of the display device 400 in its fourth installation state is shown. Figure 27A This is a front view of the display device 400 in its fourth installation state, viewed from the front (observer's side). Figure 27BThis is a top view of the display device 400 in its fourth installation state, as observed from above.

[0204] In the third mounting state, the third height H3 in the Y-axis direction from the placement surface FS to the lower end of the display unit 7 ( Figure 26A The fourth height H4 in the Y-axis direction, from the placement surface FS to the lower end of the display unit 7, is higher than that in the fourth mounting state. Figure 27A That is, as in the first installation state, the third installation state is a high position state in which the display unit 7 is installed at a relatively high position, and as in the second installation state, the fourth installation state is a low position state in which the display unit 7 is installed at a relatively low position. The third height H3 is, for example, approximately the same as the first height H1. Figure 17A ), and the fourth height H3 is, for example, roughly the same as the second height H2 ( Figure 18A ).

[0205] However, in the third mounting state, the first support unit 8A is attached to the mounting hole 73L (second position) of the display unit 7, with the neck 80L interposed therebetween, and the second support unit 8B is attached to the mounting hole 73R (first position) of the display unit 7, with the neck 80R interposed therebetween. Furthermore, in the fourth mounting state, the first support unit 8A is attached to the mounting hole 73R (first position) of the display unit 7, with the neck 80R interposed therebetween, and the second support unit 8B is attached to the mounting hole 73L (second position), with the neck 80L interposed therebetween.

[0206] Figure 28A This is a rear view showing details of the neck 80L and the first support unit 8A in the third installation configuration. Figure 28B This is a rear view showing details of the neck 80R and the second support unit 8B in the third installation configuration. Furthermore, Figure 29A This is a detailed rear view of the neck 80L and the second support unit 8B in the fourth installation configuration. Figure 29B This is a rear view showing details of the neck 80R and the first support unit 8A in the fourth installation configuration.

[0207] like Figure 29B As shown, the base 81A can be attached to the neck 80R in a fifth position, and as... Figure 28A As shown, the sixth posture allows attachment to the neck 80R. In this embodiment, the fifth posture is when the legs 83A1 and 83A2 are positioned laterally, extending along the placement surface FS. In the fifth posture ( Figure 29BIn this configuration, the connecting portion 82A of the base 81A is connected to the neck 80R, and tightened so that the first surface 82S1A of the connecting portion 82A and the outer surface of the side plate portion 802R abut against each other. Therefore, when viewed from the connecting portion 82A, the legs 83A1 and 83A2 are positioned on the side opposite to the neck 80R. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the sixth posture is that the legs 83A1 and 83A2 are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. In the sixth posture, the connecting portion 82A of the base 81A is connected to the neck 80L, and the legs 83A1 and 83A2 are connected to the connecting portion 82A inside the neck 80L, that is, between the neck 80L and the center position CP.

[0208] like Figure 28B As shown, the base 81B can be attached to the neck 80R in a seventh posture, and as Figure 29A As shown, it can be attached to the neck 80L in an eighth posture. The seventh posture in this embodiment is when the legs 83B1 and 83B2 are positioned upright on the placement surface FS. In the seventh posture, the connecting portion 82B of the base 81B is connected to the neck 80R, and the legs 83B1 and 83B2 are inside the neck 80R, that is, between the neck 80R and the center position CP, connected to the connecting portion 82B. Furthermore, the eighth posture in this embodiment is when the legs 83B1 and 83B2 are placed laterally, extending along the placement surface FS. In the eighth posture ( Figure 29A In this structure, the connecting portion 82B of the base 81B is connected to the neck 80L, and is tightened so that the first surface 82S1B of the connecting portion 82B and the outer surface of the side plate portion 802L abut against each other. Therefore, when viewed from the connecting portion 82B, the legs 83B1 and 83B2 are positioned on the side opposite to the neck 80L.

[0209] [The operation and effects of display device 400]

[0210] As described above, in the display device 400 according to this embodiment, the display unit 7 is stably supported by a bracket 8, which serves as a support. Furthermore, in the display device 400, a first mounting state and a second mounting state are configured to be selectable by rearranging the first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B relative to the display unit 7, allowing for two viewing positions. This enables the selection of the support form for the display unit 7 based on the user's purpose or preference, the installation environment, etc.

[0211] Specifically, such as Figure 17AAs shown, when an audio device (e.g., a soundbar SB or any other device) is mounted on the placement surface FS, a high position state, i.e., the first mounting state, can be selected. Selecting the high position state prevents the display surface 7A of the display unit 7 from being obstructed by any other device such as the soundbar SB. In contrast, if no other such device is installed, such as... Figure 18A As shown, a low-position state can be selected. In this case, the display unit 7 can be placed closer to the placement surface FS, which enhances the aesthetics.

[0212] Furthermore, in the display device 400, by interchangeing their mounting positions, substrates 81A and 81B, which are shared in both the first and second mounting states, are used. Additionally, elastic members 84A1, 84A2, 84B1, and 84B are configured to contact the placement surface FS in both the first and second mounting states. Therefore, compared to cases where different brackets are used for the first and second mounting states, the number of components is reduced, which helps to lower costs, eliminates the need for complex user work such as storage, and eliminates the possibility of lost components.

[0213] Furthermore, in the display device 400, the contact portions between the elastic members 84A1, 84A2, 84B1, and 84B2 and the placement surface FS in the first installation state are different from those in the second installation state, which increases the flexibility of design choices.

[0214] Furthermore, in the display device 400, the contact area between the placement surface FS of the bases 81A and 81B in the first mounting state and the elastic members 84A1, 84A2, 84B1, and 84B2 is narrower than the contact area between the placement surface FS and the elastic members 84A1, 84A2, 84B1, and 84B2 in the second mounting state. Therefore, in the high position state as the first mounting state, the possibility of interference caused by the installation of other devices such as soundbars is smaller.

[0215] Furthermore, in the display device 400, the dimensional ratios W81A / T81A and W81B / T81B in the first mounting state are greater than those in the second mounting state. This allows for a further increase in the height difference between the first height H1 in the first mounting state and the second height H2 in the second mounting state.

[0216] Furthermore, in this display device 400, the connecting portion 82A in the base 81A is connected to the neck 80R in a first position via screws N8R1 and N8R2, and to the neck 80L in a second position via screws N8L1 and N8L2. Similarly, the connecting portion 82B in the base 81B is connected to the neck 80L in a fourth position via screws N8L1 and N8L2, and to the neck 80R in a third position via screws N8R1 and N8R2. This allows each of the bases 81A and 81B to be mounted using the same screws N8L1, N8L2, N8L1, and N8L2 in both the first and second mounting states. Therefore, in addition to reducing the number of components, a simplified configuration is achieved, which helps to reduce costs.

[0217] Furthermore, in the display device 400, the first support unit 8A and the second support unit 8B respectively include frame brackets 85A and 85B, which prevents the bases 81A and 81B from deforming due to the load on the display unit 7, specifically in the second mounting state. Therefore, the stability of the display unit 7 supported by the brackets 8 is further improved.
