[0008] [Embodiment] As display devices have become larger, large display devices equipped with two stands have become more common. Adding a swivel function to such displays results in a more complex structure compared to displays with a single stand, which can sometimes lead to unstable swivel operation.

[0009] <Configuration of the swivel mechanism> Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the mounting structure of the display device 1. The configuration of the swivel mechanism of the display device 1 will be explained with reference to Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, the display device 1 comprises a display unit body (main body) 2, a pair of stands 3, a pair of support members 4 that support the display unit body, and a pair of connecting members 5 that connect the stands 3 and the support members 4. Note that Figure 1 is a perspective view of the display device 1 seen from the rear side, and the upper part of the display unit body 2 is omitted from the illustration.

[0010] The mounting structure of the display device 1 according to this embodiment allows the display screen 21 to be rotated stably even when the display device 1, which has two stands, is operated with only one hand.

[0011] The display device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to, for example, a television receiver, a computer display, a display connected to various game devices, an information display, and the like.

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, when the display device 1 is placed on the installation surface and the display screen 21 side is regarded as the front, when the display device 1 is viewed from the front, the direction indicating the right side in the width direction of the display device 1 is the X1 direction, and the direction opposite to the X1 direction is the X2 direction. The direction indicating the upper side in the height direction of the display device 1 is the Y1 direction, and the direction opposite to the Y1 direction is the Y2 direction. Also, a direction perpendicular to X1 and X2 and perpendicular to Y1 and Y2, and from the back side to the front side of the display device 1 is the Z1 direction, and the direction opposite to the Z1 direction is the Z2 direction. When X1 and X2, Y1 and Y2, and Z1 and Z2 are collectively referred to without distinguishing them from each other, they are referred to as the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction.

[0013] (Stand 3) The stand 3 rotatably supports the display unit main body 2 via the support member 4 and the connecting member 5. The stand 3 includes a first stand 31 disposed at the lower right (in the X1 direction) when the display screen 21 is viewed from the front, and a second stand 32 disposed at the lower left (in the X2 direction).

[0014] The first stand 31 includes a connecting member fixing portion 311 that rotatably fixes a first connecting member 51 described later. The connecting member fixing portion 311 is provided with a female screw 311a that is screwed with a male screw 511b for fixing the first connecting member 51. The female screw 311a is provided in the connecting member fixing portion 311 so that the axis of the female screw 311a coincides with the first rotation axis J1.

[0015] The second stand 32 includes a connecting member fixing portion 321 that rotatably fixes a second connecting member 52. The connecting member fixing portion 321 is provided with a female screw 321a that is screwed with a male screw 521b for fixing the second connecting member 52. The female screw 321a is provided in the connecting member fixing portion 321 so that the axis of the female screw 321a coincides with the second rotation axis J2.

[0016] (Display unit main body 2) The display unit main body 2 includes a display screen 21 and a fitting portion 22. The display screen 21 is realized by, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a plasma display, etc., and displays images and various information.

[0017] The fitting portion 22 is a pair of recesses provided in the display unit main body 2 for attaching the support member 4 to the display unit main body 2, and is formed, for example, in a substantially quadrangular prism shape. The fitting portion 22 includes a first fitting portion 221 provided on the first stand 31 side (X1 side) and a second fitting portion 222 provided on the second stand 32 side (X2 side).

[0018] At least a part of the column portion 411 of the first support member 41 described later is fitted into the first fitting portion 221, and the column portion 411 is fixed to the first fitting portion 221 by a screw 23. At least a part of the column portion 421 of the second support member 42 is fitted into the second fitting portion 222, and the column portion 421 is fixed to the second fitting portion 222 by a screw 23.

[0019] Thereby, the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 are fixed to the display unit main body 2. Although details will be described later, when the display unit main body 2 rotates, the first support member 41 or the second support member 42 fixed to the display unit main body 2 slides along the first guide groove portion 512 or the second guide groove portion 522 as the display unit main body 2 rotates.

[0020] Note that the first fitting portion 221 and the second fitting portion 222 are formed slightly larger than the column portion 411 and the column portion 421 so that the column portion 411 and the column portion 421 can be fitted therein.

[0021] (Support member 4) The support member 4 comprises a first support member 41 positioned on the first stand 31 side and a second support member 42 positioned on the second stand 32 side, and supports the display unit body 2. The support member 4 is made of a metal such as iron. Note that when the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 are not distinguished from each other and are referred to collectively as the support member 4.

[0022] The first support member 41 is configured, for example, in a substantially rectangular prism shape extending in the Y direction, and comprises a support column portion 411, an insertion piece 412 (insertion portion), and a holder 414.

[0023] The support column 411 is the upper (Y1 direction) portion of the first support member 41, and as described above, at least a part of the support column 411 is fitted into the first fitting portion 221 of the display unit body 2 and fixed to the first fitting portion 221 by screws 23.

[0024] The insertion piece 412 is the lower part (in the Y2 direction) of the first support member 41 and is inserted into the first guide groove 512 (first groove) of the first connecting member 51, which will be described later, so as to be slidable along the groove.

[0025] The length (thickness) of the support column 411 in the Z direction is longer than the length (thickness) of the insertion piece 412 in the Z direction, and is also longer than the width of the first guide groove 512 of the first connecting member 51, which will be described later. On the other hand, the length of the insertion piece 412 in the Z direction is shorter than the width of the first guide groove 512 so that it can be inserted into the first guide groove 512. Therefore, when the insertion piece 412 is inserted into the first guide groove 512, the bottom surface 411a of the support column 411 comes into contact with the edge 5121 of the first guide groove 512. As a result, the first support member 41 is held by the first connecting member 51.

[0026] The holder 414 is a member that holds the insertion piece 412 to the first connecting member 51. The holder 414 has an insertion hole 414a into which the end of the insertion piece 412 that protrudes downward (in the Y2 direction) through the first guide groove 512 is inserted. The end of the insertion piece 412 inserted into the insertion hole 414a is fixed to the holder 414 by a screw 414b. This prevents the insertion piece 412 from coming out of the first guide groove 512 and holds the insertion piece 412 in a slidable manner.

[0027] The second support member 42, like the first support member 41, is configured as a roughly rectangular prism extending in the Y direction and includes a support column portion 421, an insertion piece 422 (insertion portion), and a holder 424.

[0028] The support column 421 is the upper (Y1 direction) portion of the second support member 42, and as described above, at least a part of the support column 421 is fitted into the second fitting portion 222 of the display unit body 2 and fixed to the second fitting portion 222 by screws 23.

[0029] The insertion piece 422 is the lower (Y2 direction) portion of the second support member 42 and is inserted into the second guide groove 522 (second groove) of the second connecting member 52, which will be described later, so as to be slidable along the groove.

[0030] The length (thickness) of the support column 421 in the Z direction is longer than the length (thickness) of the insertion piece 422 in the Z direction, and is also longer than the width of the second guide groove 522 of the second connecting member 52, which will be described later. On the other hand, the length of the insertion piece 422 in the Z direction is shorter than the width of the second guide groove 522 so that it can be inserted into the second guide groove 522. Therefore, when the insertion piece 422 is inserted into the second guide groove 522, the bottom surface 421a of the support column 421 comes into contact with the edge 5221 of the second guide groove 522. As a result, the second support member 42 is held by the second connecting member 52.

[0031] The holder 424 is a member that holds the insertion piece 422 to the second connecting member 52. The holder 424 has an insertion hole 424a into which the end of the insertion piece 422 that protrudes downward (in the Y2 direction) through the second guide groove 522 is inserted. The end of the insertion piece 422 inserted into the insertion hole 424a is fixed to the holder 424 by a screw 424b. This prevents the insertion piece 422 from coming out of the second guide groove 522 and holds the insertion piece 422 in a slidable manner.

[0032] (Connecting member 5) The connecting member 5 comprises a first connecting member 51 that connects the first stand 31 and the first support member 41, and a second connecting member 52 that connects the second stand 32 and the second support member 42. The connecting member 5 is made of a metal such as iron. When the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 are not distinguished from each other and are referred to collectively as the connecting member 5, they may be referred to as the connecting member 5.

[0033] The first connecting member 51 includes a first mounting portion 511 and a first guide groove portion 512. The first mounting portion 511 is realized, for example, as a through hole 511a provided in the base end portion 513 of the first connecting member 51.

[0034] A male screw 511b is inserted through the through hole 511a to fix the first connecting member 51 to the first stand 31. The male screw 511b is inserted through the through hole 511a and screwed into the female screw 311a of the first stand 31 which is positioned on the first rotation axis J1. This connects the first connecting member 51 to the first stand 31 so that it can rotate around the first rotation axis J1.

[0035] As described above, the insertion piece 412 of the first support member 41 is slidably inserted into the first guide groove 512 along the first guide groove 512.

[0036] As a result, the first support member 41 moves in conjunction with the rotational movement of the first connecting member 51 connected to the first stand 31, and also slides along the first guide groove 512 provided on the first connecting member 51.

[0037] In other words, when the display unit body 2 is rotated, the first support member 41 fixed to the display unit body 2 slides along the first guide groove 512 as the display unit body 2 rotates, causing the first connecting member 51 to rotate around the first rotation axis J1. This causes the first connecting member 51 to rotate so that the first guide groove 512 follows the trajectory of the first support member 41.

[0038] The second connecting member 52, like the first connecting member 51, includes a second mounting portion 521 and a second guide groove portion 522. The second mounting portion 521 is realized, for example, as a through hole 521a provided in the base end portion 523 of the second connecting member 52.

[0039] A male screw 521b is inserted through the through hole 521a to fix the second connecting member 52 to the second stand 32. The male screw 521b is inserted through the through hole 521a and screwed into the female screw 321a of the second stand 32, which is positioned on the second rotation axis J2. This connects the second connecting member 52 to the second stand 32 so that it can rotate around the second rotation axis J2.

[0040] As described above, the insertion piece 422 of the second support member 42 is slidably inserted into the second guide groove 522.

[0041] As a result, the second support member 42 moves in conjunction with the rotational movement of the second connecting member 52 connected to the second stand 32, and also slides along the second guide groove 522 provided on the second connecting member 52.

[0042] In other words, when the display unit body 2 is rotated, the second support member 42, which is fixed to the display unit body 2, slides along the second guide groove 522 as the display unit body 2 rotates, causing the second connecting member 52 to rotate around the second rotation axis J2. This causes the second connecting member 52 to rotate so that the second guide groove 522 follows the trajectory of the second support member 42. The overall flow of the swivel operation of the display device 1 will be described later.

[0043] When the display unit body 2 is facing forward, the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 are symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the display screen 21 of the display unit body 2, passing through the center line between the first rotation axis J1 and the second rotation axis J2. In other words, the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 are symmetrical with respect to a virtual plane perpendicular to the display screen 21 of the display unit body 2, passing through a virtual line that passes midway between the first rotation axis J1 and the second rotation axis J2. That is, the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 are configured symmetrically from left to right. This allows for balancing the left and right rotation of the display unit body 2.

[0044] However, the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 may be made asymmetrical. By making them asymmetrical, the maximum rotation angle of one side can be made larger than that of the other side.

[0045] Furthermore, the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 are symmetrical, and unless otherwise specified, the members attached to them are also symmetrical. Similarly, the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 are symmetrical, and unless otherwise specified, the members attached to them are also symmetrical.

[0046] <Connecting member 5> Figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of the connecting member 5, and is a bottom view of the first connecting member 51. In other words, it is a view of the first connecting member 51 from below the display device 1 (from the Y2 side toward the Y1 side). The second connecting member 52 is symmetrical to the first connecting member 51 and has a similar configuration, so its explanation is omitted.

[0047] (Straight section T1 and curved section R1) As shown in Figure 2, the first connecting member 51 is provided with a first guide groove 512 on which the insertion piece 412 of the first support member 41 slides. The first guide groove 512 comprises, in order from the first rotation axis J1 side, a straight section T1 and a curved section R1 connected to the straight section T1.

[0048] Furthermore, the curved section R1 comprises, in order from the straight section T1 side, a first curved section R2 and a second curved section R3 connected to the first curved section R2. The second curved section R3 has a gentler curve than the first curved section R2.

[0049] This is to ensure that when the first connecting member 51 rotates around the first rotation axis J1, the curve of the second curved portion R3 fits on the underside of the display unit body 2. As a result, even when the display unit body 2 (display screen 21) is rotated, the second curved portion R3 does not protrude from the underside of the display screen 21 to the front, and the entire first connecting member 51 can be positioned on the underside or rearside of the display unit body 2.

[0050] Furthermore, when the display screen 21 is facing forward, the straight portion of the first connecting member 51 is positioned below the display unit body 2, and the curved portion is positioned behind the display device 1. The second connecting member 52 has the same configuration as described above.

[0051] As a result, regardless of the angle at which the display unit 2 is positioned, the user cannot see the edge 5121 of the first connecting member 51 and the edge 5221 of the second connecting member 52 from the front side of the display device 1, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the display device 1.

[0052] The first connecting member 51 has a free end 514 on the opposite side of the base end 513, which is rotatably fixed to the first stand 31. Since the free end 514 is not fixed, the first connecting member 51 rotates around the first rotation axis J1 on the base end 513 side, with the free end 514 side rotating.

[0053] (Lock position P1 and rotation start position P2) As shown in Figure 2, the first guide groove 512 has a locked position P1 (first position), which is the end of the straight section T1 on the first rotation axis J1 side, and a rotation start position P2 (second position), which is the boundary between the straight section T1 and the curved section R1. The straight section T1 also has an initial position P3 (third position) between the locked position P1 and the rotation start position P2. Details of the initial position P3 will be described later.

[0054] When the insertion piece 412 is in the locked position P1, the insertion piece 412 is located at the end of the straight section T1 on the first rotation axis J1 side. Therefore, even when the display unit body 2 rotates, it does not slide along the curved section R1 of the first guide groove 512 and remains fixed in the locked position P1. For this reason, the first connecting member 51 rotates together with the display unit body 2 when the display unit body 2 rotates.

[0055] On the other hand, when the insertion piece 412 is in the rotation start position P2, as the display unit body 2 rotates, the insertion piece 412 slides along the curved portion R1 in the W1 direction as the display unit body 2 rotates. The W1 direction is the direction toward the free end 514 side of the curved portion R1.

[0056] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the lock position P1 and rotation start position P2 of the connecting member 5. Figure 3 is a view of the first connecting member 51 from below the display device 1 (from the Y2 side toward the Y1 side). The diagram indicated by reference numeral 300A shows the insertion piece 412 in the lock position P1, and the diagram indicated by reference numeral 300B shows the display unit body 2 rotated when the insertion piece 412 is in the lock position P1. The diagram indicated by reference numeral 300C shows the insertion piece 412 in the rotation start position P2, and the diagram indicated by reference numeral 300D shows the display unit body 2 rotated when the insertion piece 412 is in the rotation start position P2.

[0057] As indicated by the symbol 300A, the insertion piece 412 is fixed to the display unit body 2, and the first connecting member 51 is fixed to the first stand 31 so as to be rotatable about the first rotation axis J1.

[0058] As indicated by the symbol 300A, when the insertion piece 412 is in the locked position P1, the insertion piece 412 is located at the end of the straight section T1 on the side of the first rotation axis J1.

[0059] As indicated by the symbol 300B, even when the display unit body 2 is rotated clockwise (in the Q1 direction) around the first rotation axis J1, the insertion piece 412 remains fixed in the locked position P1 and does not move from that position. Therefore, when the display unit body 2 rotates, the first connecting member 51 rotates together with the display unit body 2 around the first rotation axis J1 in the Q1 direction.

[0060] Thus, since the positional relationship between the first connecting member 51 and the display unit body 2 does not change before and after rotation, when the insertion piece 412 is in the locked position P1, the relative position of the first connecting member 51 with respect to the display unit body 2 is fixed.

[0061] On the other hand, as indicated by reference numeral 300C, when the insertion piece 412 is at the rotation start position P2, the insertion piece 412 is located at the boundary between the straight section T1 and the curved section R1.

[0062] As indicated by the symbol 300D, when the display unit body 2 is rotated counterclockwise (Q2 direction) around the second rotation axis J2 (see Figure 1), the insertion piece 412 slides along the curved portion R1 in the W1 direction. Also, because the display unit body 2 rotates away from the first rotation axis J1, the first connecting member 51 rotates around the first rotation axis J1 in the opposite direction to the display unit body 2, that is, clockwise (Q1 direction).

[0063] Thus, when the insertion piece 412 is in the rotation start position P2, rotating the display unit body 2 causes the insertion piece 412 to slide in the W1 direction along the curved portion R1 of the first guide groove 512, and the first connecting member 51 rotates in the opposite direction to the display unit body 2.

[0064] Therefore, when the insertion piece 412 is in the rotation start position P2, the first connecting member 51 can move relative to the display unit body 2.

[0065] The above describes an example on the first stand 31 side, but the same applies to the second stand 32 side. Specifically, when the insertion piece 422 of the second support member 42 is in the locked position P1, even if the display unit body 2 is rotated around the second rotation axis J2, the insertion piece 422 remains fixed in the locked position P1 and does not move from the locked position P1. Therefore, when the display unit body 2 rotates, the second connecting member 52 rotates together with the display unit body 2 around the second rotation axis J2 in the same direction as the display unit body 2. In this way, the positional relationship between the second connecting member 52 and the display unit body 2 does not change before and after rotation, so the relative position of the second connecting member 52 with respect to the display unit body 2 is fixed.

[0066] Furthermore, when the insertion piece 422 is in the rotation start position P2, rotating the display unit body 2 around the first rotation axis J1 causes the insertion piece 422 to slide along the curved portion R1 in the W1 direction. Also, as the display unit body 2 rotates away from the second rotation axis J2, the second connecting member 52 rotates around the second rotation axis J2 in the opposite direction to the display unit body 2. As a result, the relative position of the second connecting member 52 with respect to the display unit body 2 becomes movable.

[0067] (Initial position P3) Let's return to Figure 2 for further explanation. As shown in Figure 2, the straight section T1 of the first guide groove 512 has an initial position P3 between the locked position P1 and the rotation start position P2, in addition to the locked position P1 and the rotation start position P2.

[0068] When the insertion piece 412 of the first support member 41 and the insertion piece 422 of the second support member 42 are both in their initial position P3, the relative positions of the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 with respect to the display unit body 2 are fixed, and the display unit body 2 faces forward. This prevents the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 from rotating undesirably relative to the display unit body 2.

[0069] As a result, when installing the display device 1, the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 can both be positioned at their initial positions P3, thereby enabling stable installation of the display device 1.

[0070] (Movement of position) By sliding the display unit body 2 laterally toward the first stand 31 side (X1 side), the first support member 41 can be moved to the locked position P1 and the second support member 42 can be moved to the rotation start position P2. This fixes the first stand 31 side of the display unit body 2, while making the second stand 32 side rotatable around the first rotation axis J1.

[0071] Furthermore, by sliding the display unit body 2 laterally toward the second stand 32 side (X2 side), the second support member 42 can be moved to the locked position P1 and the first support member 41 can be moved to the rotation start position P2. This allows the second stand 32 side of the display unit body 2 to be fixed, while the first stand 31 side can be made rotatable around the second rotation axis J2.

[0072] In this way, by simply sliding the display unit body 2, either the first stand 31 side or the second stand 32 side of the display unit body 2 can be easily fixed, allowing the display unit body 2 to be rotated stably even with one hand.

[0073] Furthermore, by sliding the display unit body 2 while it is facing forward, both the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 can be moved to their initial positions P3, making the display device 1 suitable for installation.

[0074] <Swivel action> Next, the swivel operation of the display device 1 will be described. As described above, the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 have a locked position P1, a rotation start position P2, and an initial position P3 on the straight section T1. The display device 1 is configured such that when one of the support members 4 on the first stand 31 side or the second stand 32 side is in the locked position P1, the other is in the rotation start position P2. The display unit body 2 is fixed on the side in the locked position P1, and the side in the rotation start position P2 can be rotated.

[0075] Furthermore, if either the first support member 41 on the first stand 31 side or the second support member 42 on the second stand 32 side is in the initial position P3, then the other support member 4 is also in the initial position P3. Since both the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 are in the initial position P3, the relative positions of both the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 with respect to the display unit body 2 are fixed.

[0076] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a series of swivel movements of the display device 1. Figure 4 shows the display unit body 2, the first connecting member 51, and the second connecting member 52 as viewed from the bottom side of the display device 1. The first stand 31 and the second stand 32 are omitted from the illustration. Figure 4 shows the swivel movement in chronological order from the X2 side of the display unit body 2 to the front (Z1 direction), in the order of the symbols A to F.

[0077] As indicated by symbol A, the display unit body 2 is facing forward. The first support member 41 and the second support member 42 are in their initial position P3.

[0078] As shown by symbol B, when the display unit body 2 is slid in the X1 direction, the first support member 41 moves to the locked position P1 and the second support member 42 moves to the rotation start position P2.

[0079] As shown by symbol C, by pulling the X2 side of the display unit body 2 towards the viewer (in the Z1 direction), the display unit body 2 is rotated in the Q1 direction around the first rotation axis J1. At this time, since the first support member 41 is locked to the first connecting member 51, the first connecting member 51 rotates together with the display unit body 2 in the Q1 direction around the first rotation axis J1 by the same angle as the display unit body 2.

[0080] The second support member 42 slides along the curved portion R1 in the W1 direction, and the second connecting member 52 rotates around the second rotation axis J2 in the Q2 direction, opposite to the display unit body 2.

[0081] As indicated by symbols D and E, when the X2 side of the display unit body 2 is further rotated toward the front, the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 each continue to rotate in accordance with the rotation angle of the display unit body 2. In other words, the first connecting member 51 continues to rotate in the Q1 direction around the first rotation axis J1 together with the display unit body 2, and the second connecting member 52 continues to rotate in the Q2 direction opposite to the display unit body 2, around the second rotation axis J2.

[0082] As indicated by the symbol F, when the X2 side of the display unit body 2 is rotated further toward the front, the second support member 42 hits the end of the curved portion R1 on the free end 514 side, and the rotation of the display unit body 2 stops.

[0083] The above describes the swivel operation when the X1 side of the display unit 2 is fixed and the X2 side is pulled towards the front. However, the swivel operation when the X2 side is fixed and the X1 side is pulled towards the front is the same as described above.

[0084] Specifically, by sliding the display unit body 2 in the X2 direction, the second support member 42 is moved to the locked position P1 and the first support member 41 is moved to the rotation start position P2.

[0085] When the display unit body 2 is rotated in the Q2 direction about the second rotation axis J2 while the second support member 42 is in the locked position P1, the second connecting member 52 rotates together with the display unit body 2 in the Q2 direction about the second rotation axis J2 by ​​the same angle as the display unit body 2.

[0086] The first support member 41 slides along the curved portion R1 in the W1 direction, and the first connecting member 51 rotates around the first rotation axis J1 in the Q1 direction, opposite to the display unit body 2.

[0087] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating another example of a series of swivel movements of the display device 1. Figure 5 shows the display unit body 2, the first connecting member 51, and the second connecting member 52 as viewed from the bottom side of the display device 1. The first stand 31 and the second stand 32 are omitted from the illustration. Figure 5 shows the swivel movement in chronological order from the letter G to the letter L when the X2 side of the display unit body 2 is pushed inwards (in the Z2 direction).

[0088] As indicated by symbol G, the display unit body 2 is in a state where the X2 side of the display unit body 2 is rotated towards the viewer (in the Z1 direction). The first support member 41 is in the locked position P1, and the second support member 42 is located at the end of the curved portion R1 on the free end 514 side.

[0089] As indicated by the symbol H, pushing the X2 side of the display unit body 2 inwards (Z2 direction) causes the display unit body 2 to rotate counterclockwise (Q2 direction) around the first rotation axis J1. At this time, since the first support member 41 is locked to the first connecting member 51, the first connecting member 51 rotates together with the display unit body 2 in the Q2 direction around the first rotation axis J1 by the same angle as the display unit body 2.

[0090] The second support member 42 slides along the curved portion R1 in the W2 direction, and the second connecting member 52 rotates clockwise (Q1 direction) around the second rotation axis J2, opposite to the display unit body 2. The W2 direction is the direction from the curved portion R1 toward the straight portion T1.

[0091] As indicated by symbols I and J, when the X2 side of the display unit body 2 is further rotated inwards, the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 each continue to rotate in accordance with the rotation angle of the display unit body 2. In other words, the first connecting member 51 continues to rotate in the Q2 direction around the first rotation axis J1 together with the display unit body 2, and the second connecting member 52 continues to rotate in the Q1 direction opposite to the display unit body 2, around the second rotation axis J2.

[0092] As indicated by the symbol K, when the X2 side of the display unit body 2 is further rotated inwards, the second support member 42 reaches the end of the curved portion R1 on the straight portion T1 side, and the rotation of the display unit body 2 stops.

[0093] As indicated by the symbol L, when the display unit body 2 is slid in the X2 direction, the first support member 41 returns to its initial position P3, and the second support member 42 also returns to its initial position P3, maintaining the display unit body 2 in a non-rotating state.

[0094] The above describes the swivel operation when the X1 side of the display unit 2 is fixed and the X2 side is pushed inward. However, the swivel operation when the X2 side is fixed and the X1 side is pushed inward is the same as described above.

[0095] Specifically, when the second support member 42 is in the locked position P1 and the first support member 41 is at the end of the curved portion R1 on the free end 514 side, pushing the X1 side of the display unit body 2 inward causes the display unit body 2 to rotate in the Q1 direction around the second rotation axis J2. At this time, since the second support member 42 is locked to the second connecting member 52, the second connecting member 52 rotates together with the display unit body 2 in the Q1 direction around the second rotation axis J2 by ​​the same angle as the display unit body 2.

[0096] The first support member 41 slides along the curved portion R1 in the W2 direction, and the first connecting member 51 rotates around the first rotation axis J1 in the Q2 direction, opposite to the display unit body 2. When the display unit body 2 is slid in the X1 direction, the first support member 41 returns to its initial position P3, and the second support member 42 also returns to its initial position P3.

[0097] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing the swivel operation of the display device 1 as viewed from the bottom. Note that the first stand 31 and the second stand 32 are not shown.

[0098] As shown in Figure 6, the solid lines indicate the state in which the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 are in their initial position P3 and the display unit body 2 is facing forward.

[0099] The diagram shown with the dashed line illustrates the state where the first stand 31 side (X1 side) of the display unit body 2 is locked and the second stand 32 side (X2 side) of the display unit body 2 is rotated. The diagram shown with the dashed line illustrates the state where the second stand 32 side (X2 side) of the display unit body 2 is locked and the first stand 31 side (X1 side) of the display unit body 2 is rotated.

[0100] <Latch mechanism> Figure 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a latch mechanism 6 provided in the first connecting member 51, showing an example in which the latch mechanism 6 is provided on the inner wall 5122 of the first guide groove 512. The figure indicated by reference numeral 700A shows a latch mechanism 6a composed of a leaf spring 61, and the figure indicated by reference numeral 700B shows a latch mechanism 6b composed of a ball plunger 62.

[0101] The latch mechanisms 6a and 6b of the second connecting member 52 are the same as those of the first connecting member 51, so their explanation will be omitted.

[0102] As described above, the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 have a lock position P1, a rotation start position P2, and an initial position P3 on the straight section T1. In order to allow the user to clearly recognize the position of the support member 4, the display device 1 may be equipped with a latch mechanism 6 (holding part).

[0103] The latch mechanism 6 provides the user with a clicky sensation when, for example, the user slides the display unit body 2 to move the support member 4 to the initial position P3, or when the support member 4 is moved from the initial position P3 to another position. This allows the user to easily recognize that the support member 4 is in the initial position P3, and also allows the position of the support member 4 to be maintained at the initial position P3.

[0104] The inner walls 5122 and 5222 of the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 are provided with a latch mechanism 6 that holds the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 in their initial position P3. The latch mechanism 6 is positioned on the inner walls 5122 and 5222 of the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522 that face the insertion pieces 412 and 422.

[0105] As shown by reference numeral 700A, the latch mechanism 6a is implemented, for example, as a plurality of leaf springs 61 (holding parts) provided on the inner wall 5122 of the first guide groove 512. The leaf springs 61 are provided so as to protrude toward the insertion piece 412 from positions Pa and Pb on both sides of the insertion piece 412 when the insertion piece 412 is in its initial position P3. The leaf springs 61 may also be provided on the inner wall 5123 opposite to the inner wall 5122. Alternatively, they may be provided on both the inner wall 5122 and the inner wall 5123.

[0106] When the user slides the display unit body 2 to move the insertion piece 412, the biasing force of the leaf spring 61 causes the user to feel a clicking sensation as the insertion piece 412 moves over the leaf spring 61.

[0107] Furthermore, as shown by reference numeral 700B, the latch mechanism 6b is implemented, for example, as a plurality of ball plungers 62 (holding parts) provided on the inner wall 5122 of the first guide groove 512. The ball plungers 62 are provided so as to protrude toward the insertion piece 412 from positions Pa and Pb on both sides of the insertion piece 412 when the insertion piece 412 is in its initial position P3.

[0108] The ball plunger 62 comprises a coil spring 62a and a ball 62b biased by the coil spring 62a. The ball 62b is provided so as to protrude from the inner wall 5122 toward the insertion piece 412. The ball plunger 62 may also be provided on the inner wall 5123 opposite to the inner wall 5122. Alternatively, it may be provided on both the inner wall 5122 and the inner wall 5123.

[0109] When the user slides the display unit body 2 to move the insertion piece 412, the biasing force of the coil spring 62a causes the user to feel a clicking sensation as the insertion piece 412 moves over the ball 62b.

[0110] In this way, the latch mechanisms 6a and 6b allow the user to easily recognize that the support member 4 is in the initial position P3, and also allow the position of the support member 4 to be maintained in the initial position P3. Furthermore, the latch mechanisms 6a and 6b allow the user to recognize the position of the support member 4 even when it is in the locked position P1 or the rotation start position P2.

[0111] Furthermore, the latch mechanisms 6a and 6b may be provided at locations other than Pa and Pb. For example, as shown in reference numeral 700A, one or more may also be provided at Pc, Pd, and Pe of the curved portion R1. This allows the user to stop the rotation of the display unit body 2 at the positions of the latch mechanisms 6a and 6b, and to maintain the orientation of the display unit body 2 at any angle.

[0112] Furthermore, the latch mechanism 6 may be provided on the insertion piece 412 and insertion piece 422, and on the inner walls of the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522.

[0113] The insertion piece 412 and the insertion piece 422 are equipped with a latch mechanism 6 that holds the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 in their initial position P3 by fitting into fitting recesses provided on the inner walls of the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522, respectively.

[0114] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of latch mechanisms 6c and 6d provided in the first guide groove 512 and the first support member 41, showing an example in which latch mechanisms 6c and 6d are provided in the first guide groove 512 and the first support member 41. The figure indicated by reference numeral 800A shows a latch mechanism 6c composed of a leaf spring 63, and the figure indicated by reference numeral 800B shows a latch mechanism 6d composed of a ball plunger 65.

[0115] Figure 8 illustrates examples of the latch mechanisms 6c and 6d provided by the insertion piece 412 and the first connecting member 51. The latch mechanisms 6c and 6d provided by the insertion piece 422 and the second connecting member 52 are the same as those provided by the insertion piece 412 and the first connecting member 51, so their explanation is omitted.

[0116] As shown by reference numeral 800A, the latch mechanism 6c is implemented as a fitting recess 64 (recess) provided at least at the initial position P3 of the inner wall 5122, and a leaf spring 63 (holding part) provided on the portion of the first support member 41 facing the inner wall 5122. The fitting recess 64 may also be provided on the inner wall 5123 on the side facing the inner wall 5122, in which case the leaf spring 63 is provided on the portion of the first support member 41 facing the inner wall 5123. The fitting recess 64 may also be provided on both the inner wall 5122 and the inner wall 5123. In this case, the leaf spring 63 is provided on both portions of the first support member 41 facing the inner wall 5122 and the inner wall 5123.

[0117] The leaf spring 63 is provided protruding from the inner wall 5122 side. When the user slides the display unit body 2 and moves the insertion piece 412, the biasing force of the leaf spring 63 causes the protruding portion of the leaf spring 63 to fit into the fitting recess 64. This creates a clicking sensation for the user.

[0118] Furthermore, as shown by reference numeral 800B, the latch mechanism 6d is implemented as a fitting recess 66 (recess) provided at least at the initial position P3 of the inner wall 5122, and a ball plunger 65 (holding part) provided on the portion of the first support member 41 facing the inner wall 5122. The ball plunger 65 comprises a coil spring 65a and a ball 65b biased by the coil spring 65a, and the ball 65b is provided so as to protrude from the first support member 41 toward the inner wall 5122. The fitting recess 66 may also be provided on the inner wall 5123 on the side facing the inner wall 5122, in which case the ball plunger 65 is provided on the portion of the first support member 41 facing the inner wall 5123. The fitting recess 66 may also be provided on both the inner wall 5122 and the inner wall 5123. In this case, the ball plunger 65 is provided on both the portion of the first support member 41 facing the inner wall 5122 and the inner wall 5123.

[0119] When the user slides the display unit body 2 to move the insertion piece 412, the ball 65b at the tip of the ball plunger 65 engages with the fitting recess 66 due to the biasing force of the coil spring 65a. This creates a clicking sensation for the user.

[0120] The latch mechanisms 6c and 6d described above allow the user to easily recognize that the support member 4 is in the initial position P3, and also allow the position of the support member 4 to be maintained in the initial position P3.

[0121] The fitting recesses 64 and 66 may be provided in positions other than the initial position P3, for example, at the locked position P1 and the rotation start position P2. This allows the user to easily recognize when the support member 4 is in the locked position P1 or the rotation start position P2.

[0122] Furthermore, at least one fitting recess 64, 66 may also be provided in the curved portion R1, for example, at the positions indicated by P4, P5, and P6. This allows the user to stop the rotation of the display unit body 2 at the positions of the fitting recesses 64, 66, making it easy to adjust the orientation of the display unit body 2 to any desired angle.

[0123] <Example of support member 4> Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the insertion piece 412 of the support member 4. In Figure 9, an example of the insertion piece 412A of the first support member 41 is described, but the insertion piece 422A of the second support member 42 is the same as that of the first support member 41, so its description is omitted.

[0124] The above describes an example in which the insertion piece 412 of the first support member 41 is configured in a roughly rectangular prism shape. The insertion piece 412 is not limited to this, and only needs to be in contact with the first guide groove 512 at at least three points. For example, it may be a shape that combines multiple arcs.

[0125] The insertion piece 412A contacts the first guide groove 512 at three points, thereby suppressing unwanted rotation of the first connecting member 51.

[0126] As shown in Figure 9, the insertion piece 412A is shaped to match the curved shape of the first guide groove 512, for example. That is, the surface that slides against the curved surface 5122a of the inner wall 5122 is an arc-shaped recess 43 that follows the shape of the curved surface 5122a, and the surface that slides against the curved surface 5123a of the inner wall 5123 is an arc-shaped bulge 44 that follows the shape of the curved surface 5123a.

[0127] This allows the insertion piece 412A to slide smoothly along the first guide groove 512.

[0128] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the insertion piece 412. The figure indicated by reference numeral 100A is a bottom view of the insertion piece 412B, and the figure indicated by reference numeral 100B is an exploded perspective view of the first support member 41 including the insertion piece 412B. In Figure 10, an example of the insertion piece of the first support member 41 is described, but the insertion piece 422B of the second support member 42 is the same as that of the first support member 41, so its description is omitted.

[0129] As shown in Figure 10, the insertion piece 412B is realized, for example, as two cylindrical members 45 connected to each other. The insertion piece 412B is fixed to the support column 411 and the holder 414 by screws 414b.

[0130] Since the insertion piece 412B contacts the first guide groove 512 at four points, it can suppress unwanted rotation of the first connecting member 51. Furthermore, because it is composed of two cylindrical members 45, it can slide smoothly along the curved surface of the first guide groove 512.

[0131] <Grounding member 515> Figure 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a grounding member 515. The figure indicated by reference numeral 1100A is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a grounding member 515, the figure indicated by reference numeral 1100B is a perspective view showing an example of a grounding member 515, the figure indicated by reference numeral 1100C is a perspective view showing another example of a grounding member 515, and the figure indicated by reference numeral 1100D is a cross-sectional view showing another example of a grounding member 515.

[0132] In Figure 11, an example of the grounding member 515 on the first stand 31 side is explained, but since the grounding member 515 on the second stand 32 side is the same as that on the first stand 31 side, the explanation is omitted.

[0133] The first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 may each be provided with a grounding member 515 (grounding portion) that contacts the mounting surface of the display device 1, together with the first stand 31 and the second stand 32.

[0134] Furthermore, the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 may each be provided with a grounding member 515 (grounding portion) that contacts the mounting surface of the display device 1, together with the first stand 31 and the second stand 32.

[0135] As indicated by the symbol 1100A, the display unit body 2 is attached to the free end 514 of the first connecting member 51, and therefore a large rotational moment F due to the weight of the display unit body 2 is applied to the free end 514.

[0136] Therefore, a grounding member 515 is provided at the free end 514. The grounding member 515, together with the first stand 31, makes contact with the mounting surface G of the display device 1 and supports the display unit body 2. This makes the swivel movement smoother and prevents deformation and damage to the first connecting member 51 due to the rotational moment F.

[0137] As indicated by reference numeral 1100B, the grounding member 515 may be a caster 516, configured to rotate and move on the mounting surface G. The caster 516 is attached to the first connecting member 51 so as to be rotatable 360 ​​degrees around the grounding point PS. By making the grounding member 515 rotatable, the display unit body 2 can be rotated more smoothly.

[0138] As indicated by reference numeral 1100C, the grounding member 515 is a ball roller 517, which may be configured to rotate and move on the mounting surface G. The ball roller 517 is equipped with a rotatably mounted ball 517a at its tip.

[0139] In this way, by making the grounding member 515 rotatable, the display unit body 2 can be rotated more smoothly.

[0140] As indicated by reference numeral 1100D, the grounding member 515 may be provided at the lower part of the insertion piece 412. The grounding member 515, together with the first stand 31, makes contact with the mounting surface G of the display device 1 and supports the display unit body 2. In this case as well, the grounding member 515 may be equipped with a caster 516 or a ball roller 517.

[0141] <Protective covers 71, 72> Figure 12 shows an example of a protective cover 71 provided on the first connecting member 51. The figure indicated by reference numeral 1200A is a perspective view of the protective cover 71, and the figure indicated by reference numeral 1200B is a cross-sectional view of the protective cover 71.

[0142] The first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 each have a protective cover 71 (cover portion) attached to the bottom surface 518 (opposite surface) opposite to the surface facing the display unit body 2. The protective cover 71 covers the opening 5124 on the bottom surface 518 side of the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522, and the first support member 41 and the second support member 42 that protrude from the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522.

[0143] Figure 12 shows an example of the protective cover 71 of the first connecting member 51, but the protective cover 71 of the second connecting member 52 is the same as that of the first connecting member 51, so its explanation is omitted.

[0144] As indicated by reference numeral 1200A, the first connecting member 51 is equipped with a protective cover 71 attached to the bottom surface 518. The protective cover 71 covers the opening 5124 on the bottom surface 518 side of the first guide groove 512, the insertion piece 412 of the first support member 41 that protrudes from the first guide groove 512, and the holder 414.

[0145] As a result, the protective cover 71 covers the opening 5124 of the first guide groove 512, the insertion piece 412, and the holder 414, so that the holder 414 is not visible when the user looks at the display device 1, thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the display device 1.

[0146] Figure 13 shows an example of a protective cover 72 (cover portion) provided by the display unit body 2. The figure indicated by reference numeral 1300A is a perspective view of the protective cover 72, and the figure indicated by reference numeral 1300B shows the relationship between the protective cover 72 and the movable range of the connecting member 5.

[0147] As indicated by reference numeral 1300A, the protective cover 72 may be provided on the display unit body 2. The display unit body 2 includes a pair of protective covers 72 that cover the movable areas of the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52.

[0148] The display unit body 2 is equipped with a protective cover 72a covering the first connecting member 51 and a protective cover 72b covering the second connecting member 52 on its rear side (Z2 side).

[0149] As indicated by reference numeral 1300B, protective cover 72a is mounted to cover the movable area of ​​the rotating first connecting member 51, and protective cover 72b is mounted to cover the movable area of ​​the rotating second connecting member 52.

[0150] As a result, when a user views the display device 1 from above, the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 are not visible, improving the aesthetic appearance of the display device 1 and preventing dust from getting trapped in the first guide groove 512 and the second guide groove 522. The display device 1 may also be equipped with both the protective cover 71 shown in Figure 12 and the protective cover 72 shown in Figure 13.
