Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a display device including a stand that is attached to the rear surface of a display panel. [Background technology]

[0002] Display devices such as television receivers and personal computers have a display (panel) for displaying images, and the rear side of the display is covered with a cover or the like. In recent years, there has been a strong demand for thinner display devices, and efforts have been made to reduce the thickness of covers and the like. However, with display devices, it is also important to be able to be stably installed on a desk or the like, and efforts have been made to ensure rigidity while reducing the thickness in order to ensure a stable installation state (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] (First embodiment) Hereinafter, a display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] Fig. 1 is an exterior side view showing a display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. 2 is an exterior perspective view showing the display device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Note that Fig. 2 shows a state in which the surface fixing unit 40 attached to a wall surface (an example of an installation surface) has been removed from the stand unit in consideration of ease of viewing the drawing. In addition, in Fig. 1, the wall surface is a plane extending in the vertical direction on the paper along the surface fixing unit 40, as shown in Fig. 11 described later. For the sake of explanation below, a direction parallel to the wall surface and approximately vertically upward may be referred to as the upward direction, and a direction approximately vertically downward may be referred to as the downward direction.

[0012] A display device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure includes a display panel 10 on which an image is displayed on a display surface 11, and a stand attached to a rear surface 12 of the display panel 10. In this embodiment, the stand includes a surface fixing portion 40 fixed to an installation surface, a rotation portion 30 that is rotatable relative to the surface fixing portion 40, and a support portion 20 connected to the rotation portion 30 and that supports the display panel 10.

[0013] The display panel 10 has a horizontally elongated, generally rectangular shape and includes a display formed of liquid crystal or the like, and a rear cover that protects the outer periphery and rear surface of the display. 1 and 2 show a state in which the display panel 10 is attached to a stand with its longitudinal direction aligned with the left-right direction (horizontal installation), but this is not limiting, and as will be described later, the display panel 10 may also be attached to a stand with its longitudinal direction aligned with the up-down direction (portrait installation).

[0014] 1 and 2, the support part 20 is attached so as to engage with the rear engagement part 13 provided on the lower part of the rear surface of the display panel 10, and the pivot part 30 is attached to the upper end of the support part 20. Although FIGS. 1 and 2 show a state in which the stand part is attached to the display panel 10 with the pivot part 30 oriented to be located above the support part 20 (upward support), this is not limiting, and as will be described later, the stand part may also be attached to the display panel 10 with the pivot part 30 oriented to be located below the support part 20 (downward support).

[0015] The surface fixing unit 40 is fixed to the rotating unit 30 or the installation surface using, for example, screws or the like. Note that the method of attaching the surface fixing unit 40 and the rotating unit 30 is not limited to this, and a combination of holes and claws or a combination of stepped pins and slits may also be used, as long as they are structured to hold each other so that they do not come off even when a weak force is applied. While FIGS. 1 and 2 show the surface fixing unit 40 attached to a wall, this is not limiting, and the surface fixing unit 40 may also be placed and fixed on the upper surface of a floor, stand, or the like. As long as the surface fixing unit 40 is placed on the floor or the like so that it does not easily move using its own weight or friction, it is not necessary to fix the surface fixing unit 40 to the floor using screws or the like.

[0016] 1 and 2, a stand unit is described that combines a support unit 20, a rotating unit 30, and a surface fixing unit 40, but this is not limited to this, and a configuration may be adopted in which the support unit 20 is fixed to the surface fixing unit 40 without providing the rotating unit 30, or a configuration in which the support unit 20 itself is fixed to the installation surface.

[0017] Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing the vicinity of the rear engagement portion. In Fig. 3, for ease of viewing, only the components of the display panel 10 that correspond to the rear engagement portion 13 are extracted and shown, and other components are omitted.

[0018] The rear engaging portion 13 is a part of the housing constituting the rear cover described above, and has an engaging hole 13a into which an engaging portion 22 (see FIG. 4 described later) provided on the support portion 20 is inserted. The opening of the engaging hole 13a faces downward, and the engaging portion 22 is inserted from below to above the engaging hole 13a. Note that instead of providing the engaging hole 13a, the rear engaging portion 13 may be provided with a recess that matches the shape of the engaging portion 22, or the engaging portion 22 may be fitted into the recess and hooked onto the recess, thereby locking them together.

[0019] In this embodiment, the support part 20 is provided with two engagement parts 22, and accordingly, two engagement holes 13a are provided in the back engagement part 13. The two engagement holes 13a are provided at positions spaced apart on the left and right, but this is not limitative, and the number and positions of the engagement holes 13a may be adjusted depending on the support part 20 and the engagement parts 22.

[0020] Below engagement hole 13a, rear recess 13b is provided which is recessed more toward display surface 11 than the surrounding area. Rear recess 13b is shaped to fit engagement portion 22, and when engagement portion 22 is inserted into engagement hole 13a, engagement portion 22 fits into the recessed space in rear recess 13b, so engagement portion 22 does not come into contact with the housing and hinders insertion into engagement hole 13a.

[0021] The rear engaging portion 13 is provided with rear screw holes 13c for screwing to the support portion 20. The number and positions of the rear screw holes 13c can be designed according to the support portion 20, and they only need to be located at positions that overlap with screw holes (flat screw holes 21a described later) provided in the support portion 20 when the engaging portion 22 is engaged with the rear engaging portion 13.

[0022] Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the support part, Fig. 5 is a side view showing the support part, and Fig. 6 is a front view showing the support part. Note that Figs. 4 to 6 show a state in which the rotating part 30 side is oriented (facing downward) below the support part 20.

[0023] The support part 20 has a flat plate part 21 that contacts the back surface 12 of the display panel 10, and a connecting part 23 that is connected to the flat plate part 21 and attached to the rotating part 30. Note that the support part 20 is formed by bending a shaped flat plate to form each part, and the flat plate part 21 and the connecting part 23 are fixed and connected with screws or the like.

[0024] The flat plate portion 21 has an engagement portion 22 formed by cutting out a portion thereof. The upper end of the engagement portion 22 has an upper end abutment portion 22a extending upward, and the lower end of the engagement portion 22 has a lower end abutment portion 22b extending downward. The upper end abutment portion 22a and the lower end abutment portion 22b are vertically symmetrical and correspond to the claws inserted into the engagement holes 13a described above. The flat plate portion 21 also has flat plate screw holes 21a for screwing to the rear engagement portion 13. The engagement portion 22 and the flat plate screw holes 21a are vertically symmetrical, and are positioned so that even if the flat plate portion 21 is turned upside down from the state shown in FIG. 4, the positions of the corresponding engagement portions 22 and flat plate screw holes 21a coincide. In other words, even if the flat plate portion 21 is turned upside down, the positions of the engagement portion 22 and flat plate screw holes 21a do not appear to change, and the engagement portion 22 and flat plate screw holes 21a remain in the same positions as before the inversion. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, when the support portion 20 is supporting downward, the upper end abutment portion 22a is inserted into the engagement hole 13a, and when the support portion 20 is supporting upward, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lower end abutment portion 22b is inserted into the engagement hole 13a.

[0025] As described above, the engagement portion 22 is integral with the upper end abutment portion 22a provided at the upper end and the lower end abutment portion 22b provided at the lower end, and is formed by cutting and bending a portion of the flat plate portion 21 along a straight line extending vertically.

[0026] In this way, since the upper end abutment portion 22a and the lower end abutment portion 22b are integral, they can be formed together, which simplifies the manufacturing process. Also, by cutting and bending a part of the flat plate portion 21, it is possible to easily form the engagement portion 22 having a vertically symmetrical shape.

[0027] The rotating unit 30 described above has a base supported by the surface fixing unit 40, and a portion of the rotating unit 30 is rotatable relative to the base. An end (connecting end 24) of the connecting unit 23 is fixed to a rotatable portion of the rotating unit 30. In other words, the support unit 20 rotates together with the rotating unit 30. In the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the rotation axis of the rotating unit 30 extends in the vertical direction, and the surface of the flat plate unit 21 that contacts the back surface 12 of the display panel 10 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating unit 30. Therefore, the rotating unit 30 rotates around an axis parallel to the back surface 12 of the display panel 10.

[0028] Fig. 7 is an enlarged perspective view showing the vicinity of the rear engagement portion where the support portion is attached facing downward, and Fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the engagement portion and the vicinity of the rear engagement portion. Note that Fig. 7 only shows the components of the display panel 10 that correspond to the rear engagement portion 13, and omits other components, in consideration of ease of viewing the drawing. Also, Fig. 8 only shows the flat portion 21 and the engagement portion 22 of the support portion 20, and omits other portions, in consideration of ease of viewing the drawing.

[0029] 7 and 8 show a state in which the support portion 20 is supported facing downward, with the upper end abutment portion 22a inserted into the engagement hole 13a. The surface of the flat plate portion 21 contacts the rear surface 12 (rear surface engagement portion 13) of the display panel 10, and is fixed to the rear surface engagement portion 13 with screws BS. As described above, the engagement portion 22 protrudes from the surface of the flat plate portion 21, but is accommodated in the rear surface recess 13b provided in the corresponding portion, and the flat plate portion 21 and the rear surface 12 can be brought into close contact with each other without being hindered by the engagement portion 22.

[0030] FIG. 9 is a schematic side view showing a display device installed on the floor.

[0031] 9, the support part 20 is attached to the display panel 10 in a downward facing state, and the rotating part 30 is located below the support part 20 and is supported by a surface fixing part 40 placed on the floor surface 101. In other words, the display device 1 is placed on the floor surface 101 via the surface fixing part 40.

[0032] The surface fixing portion 40 has a plate-like portion 41 that faces the installation surface (floor surface 101 in FIG. 8 ) and an upright wall portion 42 that supports the rotating portion 30. The upright wall portion 42 is in the shape of a flat plate that follows the side surface of the rotating portion 30, and is fixed to the rotating portion 30 with screws or the like. The upright wall portion 42 may be formed separately from the plate-like portion 41 and then integrated with the plate-like portion 41 using a general method such as adhesion or fixing.

[0033] FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view showing the vicinity of the rear engaging portion to which the support portion is attached facing upward.

[0034] Figure 10 differs from Figure 7 in that the support part 20 is upside down. Specifically, the support part 20 is in an upwardly supported state, with the lower end abutment part 22b inserted into the engagement hole 13a. As described above, even if the support part 20 is upside down, the positions of the engagement part 22 and the plate screw hole 21a do not appear to change, so the rear engagement part 13 and the rear screw hole 13c can be aligned in approximately the same way as in the state shown in Figure 7. The relationship between the rear engagement part 13 and the engagement part 22 is approximately the same as in the state shown in Figure 8, except that the positions of the upper end abutment part 22a and the lower end abutment part 22b are swapped.

[0035] FIG. 11 is a schematic side view showing a display device installed on a wall surface.

[0036] 11, the support unit 20 is attached to the display panel 10 in a state where it faces upward, and the surface fixing unit 40 is installed on the wall surface 102. The surface fixing unit 40 may be attached to the wall surface 102 using a general method such as adhesion or fixing. As a result, the display device 1 is fixed to the wall surface 102 via the surface fixing unit 40.

[0037] In FIG. 11, the support portion 20 is attached to the display panel 10 in a state where it faces upward, but this is not limited to this, and as described above, the support portion 20 may be attached to the display panel 10 in a state where it faces downward.

[0038] In this embodiment, the engagement portion 22 is formed symmetrically in the vertical direction, and by inverting the stand portion and attaching it to the display panel 10, the direction in which the stand portion is attached to the display panel 10 can be changed, thereby improving the degree of freedom in installing the display device 1.

[0039] As described above, the stand is attached to the rear surface 12 of the display panel 10 in either a first engagement state (for example, a state in which the support portion 20 faces downward) in a predetermined direction, or a second engagement state (for example, a state in which the support portion faces upward) in which the stand is rotated 180 degrees from the first engagement state. Therefore, the direction in which the stand is attached to the display panel 10 can be selected, improving the degree of freedom in installing the display device 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the engaging portion 22 and the back engaging portion 13 are configured to engage with each other by inserting claws (e.g., upper end abutment portion 22a and lower end abutment portion 22b) provided on one side into a recess (e.g., engaging hole 13a) provided on the other side. By combining the recess and the claw in this way, a stable support structure can be easily realized.

[0041] In this embodiment, the engaging portions 22 are formed symmetrically in the up-down direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. The stand may be provided with engaging portions 22 formed in a generally vertically upward direction and a generally vertically downward direction. For example, the upper end contact portion 22a and the lower end contact portion 22b may have different shapes. Specifically, the upper end contact portion 22a and the lower end contact portion 22b may have different lengths of protrusion in the up-down direction or different shapes of their tips.

[0042] (Second embodiment) Next, a display device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0043] In the second embodiment, the shape of the engaging portion 22 in the support portion 20 is different from that in the first embodiment. Note that the second embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 11, so a description thereof will be omitted and only the differences will be described.

[0044] Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing the support part in the second embodiment of the present disclosure, Fig. 13 is a side view showing the support part in the second embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. 14 is a front view showing the support part in the second embodiment of the present disclosure. Note that Figs. 12 to 14 show a state in which the connecting end 24 side is oriented downward (facing downward).

[0045] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the engagement portion 22. Specifically, the engagement portion 22 is divided into upper and lower portions. For ease of explanation, when the support portion 20 is facing downward, the upper engagement portion 22 is referred to as the first engagement claw 22c, and the lower engagement portion 22 is referred to as the second engagement claw 22d. The first engagement claw 22c and the second engagement claw 22d are formed by cutting and bending portions of the flat plate portion 21 along straight lines extending vertically. In the state shown in FIG. 12 , the tip of the first engagement claw 22c extends upward, and the tip of the second engagement claw 22d extends downward. Because the engagement portion 22 is divided in this way, there is no need to provide a connecting portion between the two, thereby improving the design flexibility of the engagement portion 22. Furthermore, the horizontal width of the engagement portion 22 can be freely designed, and the increased contact area with the rear engagement portion 13 allows for stable support of the display panel 10. That is, the first engaging claw 22c and the second engaging claw 22d may have different widths in the horizontal direction. The shape of the engaging hole 13a may be changed appropriately according to the engaging portion 22.

[0046] FIG. 15 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the engaging portion and the rear engaging portion in the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0047] 15 shows a state in which the support portion 20 is supported facing downward, with the first engagement claw 22c inserted into the engagement hole 13a. In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the flat plate portion 21 can be fixed to the rear surface engagement portion 13 using screws BS or the like. Although the state in which the support portion 20 faces upward is not shown, it is substantially the same as the state shown in FIG. 15, except that the support portion 20 itself is inverted upside down so that the positions of the first engagement claw 22c and the second engagement claw 22d are interchanged.

[0048] (Third embodiment) Next, a display device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0049] In the third embodiment, the shape of the engaging portion 22 in the support portion 20 is different from that in the first embodiment. Note that the third embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the first and second embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 15, so a description thereof will be omitted and only the differences will be described.

[0050] Fig. 16 is a perspective view showing the support part in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, Fig. 17 is a side view showing the support part in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. 18 is a front view showing the support part in the third embodiment of the present disclosure. Note that Figs. 16 to 18 show a state in which the connecting end 24 side is oriented downward (facing downward).

[0051] The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the engagement portion 22. Specifically, the engagement portion 22 is formed by press molding to protrude from the flat plate portion 21, and a gap (hole) extending in the vertical direction is provided between the engagement portion 22 and the flat plate portion 21. For the sake of explanation below, when the support portion 20 is facing downward, the upper end of the engagement portion 22 will be referred to as a first engagement end 22e, and the lower end of the engagement portion 22 will be referred to as a second engagement end 22f.

[0052] FIG. 19 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the engaging portion and the rear engaging portion in the third embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] FIG. 19 shows a state in which the support portion 20 is supported facing downward. The rear engagement portion 13 does not have an engagement hole 13a, but instead has a rear claw 13d extending downward at a position corresponding to the engagement portion 22. When the support portion 20 is attached to the rear engagement portion 13, the rear claw 13d enters from above into the gap between the engagement portion 22 (first engagement end 22e in the case of FIG. 19) and the flat plate portion 21. As a result, the rear claw 13d gets caught on the engagement portion 22, and the engagement portion 22 and the rear engagement portion 13 engage with each other. Although a state in which the support portion 20 is facing upward is not shown, it is substantially the same as the state shown in FIG. 19 except that the support portion 20 itself is inverted upside down so that the positions of the first engagement end 22e and the second engagement end 22f are swapped. The engagement portion 22 and the rear engagement portion 13 are not limited to the shapes described above, and may be configured to engage with each other when combined.

[0054] (Fourth embodiment) Next, a display device according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0055] The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the rear surface engaging portion 13. Since the fourth embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the first to third embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 19, a description thereof will be omitted and only the differences will be described.

[0056] FIG. 20 is a schematic plan view showing the rear surface of a display panel in a display device according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 21 is a schematic plan view showing the rear surface of the display panel with its orientation changed.

[0057] 20 and 21 show the rear surface 12 of the display panel 10, and of the support portion 20 attached to the display panel 10, only the flat plate portion 21 (particularly the engagement portion 22) is shown in perspective. The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a plurality of rear surface engagement portions 13 are provided. In the example shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the rear surface engagement portions 13 are provided at two locations in the center of the rear surface 12 of the display panel 10.

[0058] 20 shows the display panel 10 installed horizontally, with the long sides 10a of the display panel 10 positioned above and below, and the short sides 10b of the display panel 10 positioned to the sides. Also, FIG. 21 shows the display panel 10 installed vertically, with the long sides 10a of the display panel 10 positioned to the sides, and the short sides 10b of the display panel 10 positioned above and below.

[0059] One rear engagement part 13 is provided at a position where the support part 20 is attached to the display panel 10 in a landscape orientation (see FIG. 20). That is, when the display panel 10 is in a landscape orientation, the engagement hole 13a opens facing downward, and a rear recess 13b is provided below the engagement hole 13a. The first position P1 shown in FIG. 20 shows the support part 20 attached to the rear engagement part 13 corresponding to landscape installation.

[0060] The other rear engaging portion 13 is rotated 90 degrees relative to the first rear engaging portion 13 and is provided at a position where the support portion 20 is attached to the display panel 10 in a vertical orientation (see FIG. 21). The positional relationship between the engaging hole 13a and the rear recess 13b corresponds to the state in which the display panel 10 is in a vertical orientation. The second position P2 shown in FIG. 21 shows the support portion 20 attached to the rear engaging portion 13 corresponding to the vertical installation.

[0061] As described above, the display panel 10 is attached to the stand in either a first support state (for example, a state in which the display panel is installed horizontally) in which any of the rear engagement portions 13 is engaged with the engagement portion 22, or a second support state (for example, a state in which the display panel is installed vertically) in which the display panel 10 is rotated 90 degrees from the first support state and a rear engagement portion 13 different from that in the first support state is engaged with the engagement portion 22. In this way, by changing the rear engagement portion 13 that engages with the engagement portion 22, the orientation of the display panel 10 can be changed and supported.

[0062] The range of the rear recess 13b may be adjusted as appropriate, and when multiple engagement holes 13a are located close to each other, a large rear recess 13b common to both may be provided. Also, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which two rear engagement parts 13 are arranged close to each other is shown, but this is not limited thereto, and it is sufficient that rear engagement parts 13 are provided according to the orientation of the display panel 10, and multiple rear engagement parts 13 may be arranged at a distance from each other.

[0063] (Fifth embodiment) Next, a display device according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0064] The fifth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the rear surface engaging portion 13. Note that the fifth embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the first to fourth embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 21, so a description thereof will be omitted and only the differences will be described.

[0065] FIG. 22 is a schematic side view showing a state in which a display device according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure is installed on a wall surface.

[0066] The fifth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the rear engagement portion 13 is provided with an inclined surface 13e inclined relative to the rear surface 12 of the display panel 10. In FIG. 22 , the support portion 20 is attached to the display panel 10 in an upwardly supported state, and the surface fixing portion 40 is installed on the wall surface 102. The inclined surface 13e is inclined so that the distance from the rear surface 12 increases as it extends downward. The support portion 20 is attached to the rear engagement portion 13 so that the flat portion 21 is in contact with the inclined surface 13e. As a result, the display panel 10 is supported by the stand portion with the rear surface 12 inclined relative to the up-down direction. In the case shown in FIG. 22 , the upper end of the display panel 10 is inclined so that it is closer to the wall surface 102 than the lower end. Since the display panel 10 is attached to the stand portion so as to be inclined in this manner, the inclination of the display panel 10 due to its own weight can be adjusted. In Figure 22, the angle of inclination of inclined surface 13e is made large to emphasize the inclination of display panel 10, but this is not limited to this, and the angle of inclined surface 13e can be adjusted taking into consideration the load applied to each part, etc.

[0067] It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and are not intended to be limiting. Therefore, the technical scope of the present disclosure should not be interpreted solely by the above-described embodiments, but should be defined based on the claims. Furthermore, all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the claims are included. [Explanation of symbols]
