[0066] As the front bracket 400 moves left and right relative to the rear bracket 300, the hooks 414, 415 and / or the front bracket 400 move left and right in an arc relative to the center of the display device 1 (see FIG. 1), thereby adjusting the level of the display device 1 (see FIG. 1). For example, the angle (theta) formed by the front bracket 400 with respect to the rear bracket 300, i.e., the angle (theta) formed by the lower sides of the alignment holes 323, 326 with respect to the horizontal plate 310, may be 0.5 to 0.8 degrees. As another example, the angle (theta) formed by the front bracket 400 with respect to the rear bracket 300, i.e., the angle (theta) formed by the lower sides of the alignment holes 323, 326 with respect to the horizontal plate 310, may be 0.6 to 0.7 degrees.

[0067] 18 , the front bracket 400 may be positioned on the rear bracket 300. The horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 may face the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300. The vertical plate 420 of the front bracket 400 may face the vertical plate 320 of the rear bracket 300. The trench 417 of the front bracket 400 may be inserted into the trench 317 of the rear bracket 300.

[0068] The first heat dissipation holes 313 may be arranged to correspond to the second heat dissipation holes 413. The support protrusions 411, 412 of the front bracket 400 correspond to the inclined portions 311, 312 of the rear bracket 300. When the front bracket 400 overlaps the rear bracket 300, the support protrusions 411, 412 of the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 are supported by the inclined portions 311, 312 of the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300. The support portion 416 of the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 may be supported by the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300. The horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 may maintain a distance from the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300.

[0069] The vertical plate 320 of the rear bracket 300 is exposed forward through the openings 423 in the vertical plate 420 of the front bracket 400. Both sides of the vertical plate 320 of the rear bracket 300 are exposed forward by cutting out both sides of the vertical plate 420 of the front bracket 400.

[0070] 19 to 22, the support protrusions 411, 412 may be supported by or in contact with the inclined portions 311, 312 on the inclined portions 311, 312. The support protrusions 411, 412 may also be referred to as support ribs 411, 412, friction ribs 411, 412, side ribs 411, 412, or side protrusions 411, 412. The support protrusions 411, 412 may extend in the width direction of the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400. The support protrusions 411, 412 may move on the inclined portions 311, 312. The contact between the support protrusions 411, 412 and the inclined portions 311, 312 may change the distance formed between the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 and the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300.

[0071] The inclined portions 311, 312 may extend in the width direction of the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300. The inclined portions 311, 312 protrude from the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300 toward the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 in a direction intersecting the length direction of the inclined portions 311, 312. The height of the inclined portions 311, 312 may gradually increase toward the outside of the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300.

[0072] When the front bracket 400 moves left and right on the rear bracket 300, the support protrusions 411, 412 can move on the inclined portions 311, 312. As the support protrusions 411, 412 move up along the inclined portions 311, 312, the front bracket 400 can be tilted relative to the rear bracket 300. The front bracket 400 can move in an arc relative to the center of the display device 1 (see FIG. 1). This allows for fine adjustment of the position of the front bracket 400 relative to the rear bracket 300.

[0073] 23 and 24, the openings 426 may be rectangular. The width Do of each of the openings 423 may be greater than the length Ds of the slits 327. A fastening member f may be inserted into the slit 327. The fastening member f inserted into the slit 327 can fix the rear bracket 300 to a wall surface W (see FIGS. 6 and 7). Even if the front bracket 400 moves left or right relative to the rear bracket 300, the slit 327 of the rear bracket 300 is exposed to the front through the opening 423 of the front bracket 400.

[0074] After the fastening member f is inserted into the slit 327 of the rear bracket 300 to fix the rear bracket 300 to the wall surface, interference between the front bracket 400 and the rear bracket 300 can be prevented even if the front bracket 400 moves left and right on the rear bracket 300, and the insertion length of the fastening member can be adjusted.

[0075] 25 and 26, the first heat dissipation holes 313 correspond to the second heat dissipation holes 413. The first heat dissipation holes 313 and / or the second heat dissipation holes 413 may be rectangular. The width W1 of the first heat dissipation holes 313 corresponds to the width W2 of the second heat dissipation holes 413. The length L1 of the first heat dissipation holes 313 may be greater than the length L2 of the second heat dissipation holes 413.

[0076] When the front bracket 400 moves left and right on the rear bracket 300, the second heat dissipation holes 413 move left and right relative to the first heat dissipation holes 313, and the second heat dissipation holes 413 may extend beyond the first heat dissipation holes 313 to the left or right (see FIG. 25).

[0077] When the front bracket 400 moves left and right on the rear bracket 300, the second heat dissipation holes 413 can move left and right relative to the first heat dissipation holes 313. When the front bracket 400 is positioned at the center of the rear bracket 300, the second heat dissipation holes 413 can be positioned inside the first heat dissipation holes 313 (see FIG. 26).

[0078] 27, a long hole 314 may be formed in the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300. The long hole 314 may be formed to be elongated in the left-right direction of the horizontal plate 310. A fastening member f may be coupled to the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400. The fastening member f may be coupled to the housing 90 (see FIG. 14) of the display device 1 (see FIG. 1).

[0079] The fastening member f may be inserted from the lower surface toward the upper surface of the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400. The long holes 314 of the rear bracket 300 correspond to the fastening member f of the front bracket 400. When the front bracket 400 moves left and right on the rear bracket 300, the fastening member f can move in the long holes 314.

[0080] A first gap G1 may be formed between the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300 and the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400. A second gap G2 may be formed between the trench 317 of the rear bracket 300 and the trench 417 of the front bracket 400. A third gap G3 may be formed between the vertical plate 320 of the rear bracket 300 and the vertical plate 420 of the front bracket 400. The second gap G2 may be larger than the third gap G3. The first gap G1 may be larger than the second gap G2. This allows the bracket assembly (300, 400) to support a heavy display device 1 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

[0081] 28 and 29, when the front bracket 400 moves left and right on the rear bracket 300, the support protrusions 411, 412 of the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 can rise along the inclined portions 311, 312 of the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300. The support protrusions 411, 412 do not slide on the inclined portions 311, 312 due to friction. The support protrusions 411, 412 may slide off the inclined portions 311, 312 depending on the load applied to the front bracket 400 and / or rear bracket 300.

[0082] The stopper 340 may be coupled to the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300. The stopper 340 may penetrate the upper surface of the horizontal plate 310 of the rear bracket 300 and protrude upward from the horizontal plate 310. For example, the stopper 340 may be made of synthetic resin or rubber.

[0083] When the front bracket 400 moves left and right on the rear bracket 300 and the support protrusions 411, 412 of the front bracket 400 move to the upper ends of the inclined portions 311, 312 of the rear bracket 300, the stopper 340 is leveled to support the lower surface of the horizontal plate 410 of the front bracket 400 or to come into contact with the lower surface of the horizontal plate. This prevents the front bracket 400 from sliding off the rear bracket 300 and changing its position.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 30, the upper bracket assembly (B2, 500, 600) may include a wall mount 600 and a hook bracket 500. The wall mount 600 may be fixed to a wall W (see FIG. 6). The wall mount 600 may include a mount fixer 611 and a mount hook 612. The mount fixer 611 may be fixed to the wall W, and the mount hook 612 may be coupled to the mount fixer 611.

[0085] The hook bracket 500 may include a hook fixer 511 and a connecting hook 512. The hook fixer 511 may be fixed to the top frame 4. The connecting hook 512 may be coupled to the hook fixer 511. The connecting hook 512 of the hook bracket 500 may be hung on a mount hook 612 of the wall mount 600. This can prevent the display device 1 (see FIG. 6) from tipping over.
