[0036] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the display device (1) may include a base (20), a pole (30), and a motion module (MM).
[0037] The base (20) may have an overall flat cylinder shape. The base (20) may be placed on the ground. For example, a plurality of moving wheels (20w, see FIG. 34) may be mounted on the lower surface of the base (20). Accordingly, the user can move the base (20) smoothly on the ground.

The other side of the motion module (MM) may be adjacent to the top of the pole (30) and may be connected to the pole (30). An articulated connector (40) may be connected to the rear side of the head (10), and an elevating module (60) may be connected to the pole (30), and an arm (50) may connect the articulated connector (40) and the elevating module (60).
[0040] Accordingly, the head (10) can be supported by the motion module (MM), pole (30), and base (20) and can be spaced upward from the ground.
[0041] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the head (10) may include a display panel (11), a middle cabinet (12), a frame (13), an end frame (14), and a back cover (15).
[0042] The display panel (11) can form the front surface of the head (10). For example, the display panel (11) may be an OLED panel, an LCD panel, or an LED panel. The display panel (11) can output an image by dividing the image into multiple pixels and matching the color, brightness, and saturation for each pixel. The display panel (11) may be divided into an active area where the image is displayed and a de-active area where the image is not displayed. The display panel (11) can generate light corresponding to the color red, green, or blue according to a control signal.
[0043] The middle cabinet (12) may extend along the perimeter of the display panel (11). The horizontal section (12H) may be located in front of the display panel (11). The vertical section (12V) may intersect the horizontal section (12H) and cover the side of the display panel (11). The front pad (11F) may be located between the horizontal section (12H) and the display panel (11) and may be attached to the horizontal section (12H). The rear pad (11R) may face the front pad (11F) with respect to the display panel (11). For example, the middle cabinet (12) may be made of metal or plastic material. The middle cabinet (12) may be referred to as a side frame or a guide panel.
[0044] The frame (13) may be located at the rear of the display panel (11). Electronic components, such as a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), may be attached to the rear of the frame (13). For example, the frame (13) may be made of a metal material. The frame (13) may be referred to as a plate or a module cover.
[0045] The fixing part (13H) may protrude rearward from the rear of the frame (13). The fixing part (13H) may be a pham nut. The spacing between the fixing parts (13H) may comply with VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standards.
[0046] The end frame (14) can form the perimeter of the head (10). The horizontal portion (14H) can be located in front of the horizontal portion (12H) of the middle cabinet (12). The vertical portion (14V) can cover the side of the vertical portion (12V) of the middle cabinet (12). For example, the end frame (14) may be made of metal or plastic material. Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, the end frame (14) may be omitted, in which case the middle cabinet (12) may form the perimeter of the head (10).
[0047] The back cover (15) may form the rear of the head (10). The back cover (15) may be located at the rear of the frame (13) and may be attached to the frame (13). A portion of the frame (13), including the aforementioned fixing portion (13H), may be exposed to the outside through a hole (15h) formed in the center of the back cover (15). For example, the back cover (15) may be made of metal or plastic material. For example, a jersey made of fabric material may be detachably attached to the rear of the back cover (15).
[0048] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the fixing member (41) may be located in the hole (15h) of the back cover (15) and may be located at the rear of the frame (13).
[0049] The fixing plate (41a) may have a circular plate shape overall and may be provided with fixing holes (41H) aligned with the fixing portion (13H). The spacing between the fixing holes (41H) may conform to VESA standards. The fixing ring (41b) may be located between the outer circumference of the fixing plate (41a) and the portion defining the hole (15h) of the back cover (15), and may be coupled to or fixed thereto. A fastening member, such as a screw, may be fastened to the fixing portion (13H) through the fixing holes (41H). Accordingly, the fixing member (41) may be coupled to or fixed to the frame (13).
[0050] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the articulated connector (40) may be provided with the aforementioned fixing member (41). The front bracket (42) may be located at the rear of the fixing member (41) and may have an overall plate shape. A pair of first protrusions (42a) may protrude upward from the upper edge of the front bracket (42) and may be spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction. A pair of second protrusions (42b) may protrude downward from the lower edge of the front bracket (42) and may be spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction. A pair of first protrusions (42a) and a pair of second protrusions (42b) may be inserted into and coupled with holes (not shown) formed in the fixing plate (41a). Accordingly, the front bracket (42) may be detachably coupled to the fixing plate (41a) (see FIG. 11).
[0051] The pivot shaft (44) may be extended in the forward and backward directions. The diameter of the head (44a) of the pivot shaft (44) may be larger than the diameter of the body (44b). The body (44b) may have a cylindrical shape with a portion of its side cut out. A pair of cut-outs (44c) may be formed on the side of the body (44b) and may face each other. A hole (42h) of the front bracket (42) may be formed in the center of the front bracket (42) and may be penetrated by the body (44b). The shape of the hole (42h) of the front bracket (42) may be the same as the shape of the cross-sectional area of the body (44b). Accordingly, the pivot shaft (44) and the front bracket (42) may rotate together about the axial direction of the pivot shaft (44). That is, the pivot shaft (44) may provide a pivot axis.
[0052] The front grab (45a) can be positioned between the head (44a) and the front of the front bracket (42). The hole (45ah) of the front grab (45a) can be aligned with the hole (42h) of the front bracket (42) and can have the same shape as the hole (42h). The body (44b) can pass through the holes (45ah, 42h). The protrusions (45af) can protrude rearward from the circumference of the front grab (45a), can be spaced apart from each other at 90-degree intervals, and can be inserted into and coupled with the groove or hole (42f) of the front bracket (42). Accordingly, the coupling between the pivot shaft (44) and the front bracket (42) can be made more secure by the front grab (45a).
[0053] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the rear bracket (43) may be located behind the front bracket (42). The rear bracket (43) may include a mount (43F), a left wing (43L), and a right wing (43R).
[0054] The mount (43F) may face the front bracket (42) and may have a circular mount hole (43Fh). The body (44b) of the pivot shaft (44) may pass through the mount hole (43Fh) and may rotate independently of the mount (43F) within the mount hole (43Fh). In other words, even if the pivot shaft (44) rotates, the rear bracket (43) may not rotate. For example, at least one washer (43Fw) may be positioned between the front bracket (42) and the mount (43F) and may have a circular hole through which the body (44b) passes.
[0055] The left wing (43L) may extend rearward from the left side of the mount (43F). The right wing (43R) may extend rearward from the right side of the mount (43F). A plurality of members (45c: 45c1, 45c2, 45c3, 45c4, 45c5) described below may be coupled to the mount (43F) between the left wing (43L) and the right wing (43R).
[0056] The rear grab (45c1) may be positioned opposite the washer (43Fw) to the mount (43F) and may be provided with a circular hole (45ch) through which the body (44b) of the pivot shaft (44) passes. The protrusions (45cf) may protrude forward from the circumference of the rear grab (45c1), may be spaced apart from each other at 90-degree intervals, and may be inserted into and coupled with the groove or hole (42Ff) of the mount (43F). Accordingly, the rear grab (45c1) may be coupled to the rear surface of the mount (43F).
[0057] Additionally, a plurality of fixing holes (45ca) and a plurality of slots (45cb) may be formed by penetrating the rear grab (45c1) in the thickness direction of the rear grab (45c1) and may be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the rear grab (45c1). The plurality of fixing holes (45ca) and a plurality of slots (45cb) may be positioned alternately in the circumferential direction of the rear grab (45c1). For example, the fixing holes (45ca) or the slots (45cb) may be spaced apart from each other at 90-degree intervals. In the circumferential direction of the rear grab (45c1), the length of the slot (45cb) may be greater than the length of the fixing hole (45ca).
[0058] The disc (45c2) may be located at the rear of the rear grab (45c1) and may be provided with a hole (45c2h) through which the body (44b) of the pivot shaft (44) passes. The shape of the hole (45c2h) may be the same as the shape of the cross-sectional surface of the body (44b). A plurality of bosses (45cc) may protrude toward the rear grab (45c1) from the front of the disc (45c2) and may be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the disc (45c2). For example, the bosses (45cc) may be spaced apart from each other at 90-degree intervals. The size of the bosses (45cc) may be the same as or correspond to the size of the fixing hole (45ca). That is, when the boss (45cc) is inserted into the fixed hole (45ca), the rotation of the disk (45c2) and the pivot shaft (44) can be restricted by the rear grab (45c1). Also, when the boss (45cc) is inserted into the slot (45cb), the disk (45c2) and the pivot shaft (44) can rotate within the trajectory of the slot (45cb).
[0059] The washer (45c3) may be located at the rear of the disk (45c2) and may have a circular hole (not shown) through which the body (44b) of the pivot shaft (44) passes.
[0060] The disc spring (45c4) may be positioned opposite the disc (45c2) with respect to the washer (45c3) and may have a circular hole (not shown) through which the body (44b) of the pivot shaft (44) passes. The disc spring (45c4) may have elasticity and may be convex forward or backward. The disc spring (45c4) may generate an elastic force in the axial direction of the pivot shaft (44). For example, the disc spring (45c4) may be provided as a pair. In this case, the first disc spring (45c41) and the second disc spring (45c42) may be convex in different directions. The first disc spring (45c41) may be convex backward, and the second disc spring (45c42) may be convex forward from the rear of the first disc spring (45c41). Accordingly, the total elasticity of the first and second disc springs (45c41, 45c42) can be strengthened.
[0061] The cap (45c5) may be located at the rear of the disc spring (45c4) and may have a hole (45c5h) through which the body (44b) of the pivot shaft (44) passes. The shape of the hole (45c5h) may be the same as the shape of the end face of the body (44b). The cap (45c5) may be attached to or fixed to the end of the body (44b).
[0062] Accordingly, the pivot shaft (44) can rotate together with the front bracket (42), front grab (45a), disc (45c2), and cap (45c5). Also, the pivot shaft (45) can rotate independently of the washer (43Fw), rear bracket (43), rear grab (45c1), washer (45c3), and disc spring (45c4). In other words, even if the pivot shaft (45) rotates, the washer (43Fw), rear bracket (43), rear grab (45c1), washer (45c3), and disc spring (45c4) may not rotate.
[0063] Additionally, the user can pivot the head (10, see FIG. 5) with respect to the pivot shaft (44). For example, the head (10) can pivot within a range of +90 degrees to -90 degrees. Also, due to the elastic force of the aforementioned disc springs (45c41, 45c2), the head (10) can maintain a certain pivot angle unless an external force exceeding a certain level is applied. Furthermore, during the pivot movement of the head (10), the user can feel the connection between the boss (45cc) and the fixing hole (45ca) or slot (45cb). That is, when the boss (45cc) comes out of the slot (45cb) and is inserted into the fixing hole (45ca), the user can feel that the head (10) is positioned at a pivot angle of 0 degrees, +90 degrees, or -90 degrees.
[0064] Meanwhile, the left projection (42L) can be positioned between the center and the left side of the front bracket (42) and can protrude rearward from the front bracket (42). The right projection (42R) can be positioned between the center and the right side of the front bracket (42) and can protrude rearward from the front bracket (42). Additionally, the stopper (43S) can protrude upward from the upper side of the mount (43F) and can be positioned on the rotational trajectory of the left projection (42L) and the right projection (42R). Accordingly, the stopper (43S) can limit the rotation of the front bracket (42) and the pivot shaft (44) to a certain angle.
[0065] Referring to FIG. 9, the holder (47) may be positioned between the left wing (43L) and the right wing (43R). The holder body (470) may cover the rear of the mount (43F) of the rear bracket (43). The first part (47L) may protrude toward the mount (43F) from the left side of the holder body (470) and may be adjacent to the left wing (43L). The second part (47R, see FIG. 7) may protrude toward the mount (43F) from the right side of the holder (47) and may be adjacent to the right wing (43R).
[0066] The tilt shaft (46) can be extended in the left and right directions. The tilt shaft (46) can pass through the left wing (43L), the first part (47L), the second part (47R), and the right wing (43R). The head (not labeled), which is one end of the tilt shaft (46), can be seated on the side of the left wing (43L). The other end of the tilt shaft (46) can be threaded, and a fastening member (46d), such as a nut, can be fastened to the other end of the tilt shaft (46) on the right wing (43R).
[0067] Also, the tilt shaft (46) may have a cylindrical shape overall and may be fixed to the left wing (43L) and the right wing (43R). The tilt shaft (46) may be rotatably coupled to the holder (47). That is, the tilt shaft (46) may provide a tilt axis. At least one washer (46v) may be located between the second part (47R) and the right wing (43R) and may have a circular hole through which the tilt shaft (46) passes.
[0068] The elastic member (46b) may be positioned between the left wing (43L) and the right wing (43R). The elastic member (46b) may be wound multiple times around the outer circumference of the tilt shaft (46) and may have elasticity. The elastic member (46b) may be a coil-shaped spring.
[0069] Also, a portion (46b) of the elastic member (46a) may extend in a direction intersecting the tilt shaft (46) without being wound around the tilt shaft (46). The seating portion (43h) may protrude rearward from the lower edge of the mount (43F) of the rear bracket (43) and may be adjacent to the left wing (43L). The seating portion (43h) may have a groove into which a portion of the elastic member (46a) is inserted. That is, a portion of the elastic member (46a) may be caught in the groove of the seating portion (43h).
[0070] Additionally, one end of the elastic member (46a) may be formed in the part (46b). A disc spring (46w) may be adjacent to the other end (46c) of the elastic member (46a) and may be located between the elastic member (46a) and the second part (47R). The disc spring (46w) may have a circular hole (not shown) through which the tilt shaft (46) passes. The disc spring (46w) may have elasticity and may be convex in the direction toward the elastic member (46a). The disc spring (46w) may generate an elastic force in the axial direction of the tilt shaft (46). A washer (46u) may be located between the disc spring (46w) and the second part (47R) and may have a circular hole through which the tilt shaft (46) passes.
[0071] Accordingly, the tilt shaft (46) can rotate together with the rear bracket (43), the front bracket (42), and a plurality of members (45c5, 45c4, 45c3, 45c2, 45c1, 43Fw, 45a, 44). In response to the rotation of the tilt shaft (46), the head (10, see FIG. 5) fixed to the front bracket (42) can be tilted up or down. At this time, the elastic member (46a) can provide a force to support the head (10) tilted at a certain angle. Additionally, the disc spring (46w) can provide a force to maintain the angle of the head (10) tilted at a certain angle, as long as an external force exceeding a certain level is not applied.
[0072] For example, the head (10) can be tilted within a range of +25 degrees to -25 degrees. Also, due to the elastic force of the aforementioned elastic member (46a) and the disc spring (46w), the head (10) can maintain a certain tilt angle unless an external force exceeding a certain level is applied.
[0073] Meanwhile, the pin (47P) can be fixed to the first part (47L) and / or the second part (47R). For example, the pin (47P) can protrude to the left from the side of the first part (47L).
[0074] At this time, the guide groove (43g) can be formed by being recessed forward from the rear end of the left wing (43L). The reference point (43ga) can come into contact with the pin (47P) without the head (10, see FIG. 5) being tilted up or down. The up groove (43gb) can be formed by drawing an arc in the first rotational direction from the reference point (43ga). The down groove (43gc) can be formed by drawing an arc in the second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction from the reference point (43ga).
[0075] Here, the tilt shaft (46) may rotate in the first rotation direction or the second rotation direction. When the tilt shaft (46) rotates in the first rotation direction, the pin (47P) may move relatively along the down groove (43gc). The rotation of the tilt shaft (46) may be limited by the down groove (43gc) engaging with the pin (47P). When the tilt shaft (46) rotates in the second rotation direction, the pin (47P) may move relatively along the up groove (43gb). The rotation of the tilt shaft (46) may be limited by the up groove (43gb) engaging with the pin (47P).
[0076] Accordingly, the maximum angle at which the head (10) can be tilted upward can be determined according to the length of the up groove (43gb). Also, the maximum angle at which the head (10) can be tilted downward can be determined according to the length of the down groove (43gc). For example, the head (10) can be tilted within the range of +25 degrees to -25 degrees.
[0077] Referring to FIG. 10, the first rotation unit (48) may be located at the rear of the holder (47). The first connecting part (471) may connect the holder (47) and the first rotation unit (48).

The flange of the second lower bushing (68f) may come into contact with the second lower groove (680a) formed along the hole (680h) on the lower surface of the second body (680). A part (not labeled) of the second lower bushing (68f) may be inserted into a hole (680h) of the second body (680), may be positioned between the inner surface of the second body (680) and the outer surface of the second fastening member (68a), and may come into contact with the inner surface of the second body (680) and the outer surface of the second fastening member (68a).
[0110] The second upper bushing (68g) may be positioned opposite the second lower bushing (68f) and may be spaced upward from the second lower bushing (68f).

[0113] Accordingly, the second body (680) can rotate relative to the second fastening member (68a). That is, the second fastening member (68a) can provide a second swivel axis. In addition, due to the elastic force of the aforementioned second disc spring (68d), the head (10) can maintain a certain swivel angle unless an external force exceeding a certain level is applied.
[0114] Meanwhile, the second groove (68g) may be formed along the circumferential direction of the second body (680) on the side of the second body (680).

The rotation of the second body (680) may be limited by one end or the other end of the second groove (68g) being caught on the second projection (512).
[0115] Accordingly, the maximum angle at which the head (10) can rotate left and right can be determined according to the length of the second groove (68g).
[0116] Referring to FIG. 18, the arm (50) can be extended in a direction that intersects the head (10) and the pole (30). The arm (50) can connect the articulated connector (40) and the lifting module (60). The second rotation unit (68) of the lifting module (60) and the vertical member (61) can be connected through a second connecting part (611). The second connecting part (611) can penetrate the pole (30).

[0124] The gas spring (62, 63) may include the aforementioned upper shaft (62) and a lower shaft (63) connected to the upper shaft (62) from top to bottom. The lower shaft (63) may extend along the longitudinal direction of the upper shaft (62) and may have a smaller diameter than the upper shaft (62). That is, the lower shaft (63) may be inserted into the inner side of the upper shaft (62). The lower end of the lower shaft (63) may be fixed on a stem (63s).
[0125] The clamps (64, 65) may be positioned opposite the vertical member (61) with respect to the upper shaft (62). In other words, the upper shaft (62) may be positioned between the vertical member (61) and the clamps (64, 65). For example, the clamps (64, 65) may be provided in multiple numbers. For example, the first clamp (64) and the second clamp (65) may be spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction.
[0126] The first clamp (64) may include a first semi-cylinder (640), a first left flange (641), and a first right flange (642).

The second right flange (652) may extend to the right from the other side of the second semi-cylinder (640) and may be coupled to the fourth part (not shown) of the vertical member (61) via a fastening member (not shown).
[0128] Accordingly, the upper shaft (62) can be detachably coupled to the vertical member (61). Also, the upper shaft (62) can move up or down along the lower shaft (63).
[0129] Referring to FIGS. 21 and 22, rollers (66a, 66b, 67a, 67b) may be adjacent to clamps (64, 65). For example, the first rollers (66a, 66b) may be adjacent to the first clamp (64), and the second rollers (67a, 67b) may be adjacent to the second clamp (65).
[0130] The first roller (66a, 66b) may include a first left roller (66a) and a first right roller (66b). The body (66a1a) of the first left pin (66a1) may penetrate the first left roller (66a) and the left portion (61L) of the vertical member (61). The flange (66a1b) of the first left pin (66a1) may be located between the first left roller (66a) and the left portion (61L). The first left roller (66a) may be connected to the left portion (61L) through the first left pin (66a1). The body (66b1a) of the first right pin (66b1) may penetrate the first right roller (66b) and the right portion (61R) of the vertical member (61). The flange (66b1b) of the first right pin (66b1) can be positioned between the first right roller (66b) and the right portion (61R). Accordingly, the first right roller (66b) can be connected to the right portion (61R) through the first right pin (66b1).
[0131] For example, the second roller (67a, 67b) may have the same shape as the first roller (66a, 66b). That is, the description above regarding the first roller (66a, 66b) may be applied in the same way to the second roller (67a, 67b). Accordingly, the second left roller (67a) may be connected to the left side (61L), and the second right roller (67b) may be connected to the right side (61R).
[0132] Additionally, the left roller (66a, 67a) may be positioned between the third rib (30c) and the fourth rib (30d) and may come into contact with the third rib (30c) and the fourth rib (30d). The right roller (66b, 67b) may be positioned between the first rib (30a) and the second rib (30b) and may come into contact with the first rib (30a) and the second rib (30b). For example, the roller (66a, 66b, 67a, 67b) may be provided with an oil groove through which a fluid such as oil flows. For example, the roller (66a, 66b, 67a, 67b) may be made of POM (Poly Oxy Methylene) material.
[0133] Accordingly, the vertical member (61) can smoothly rise or fall inside the pole (30) by means of the rollers (66a, 66b, 67a, 67b).
[0134] Referring to FIGS. 21 and 23, the first left flange (641) of the first clamp (64) may be located between the third rib (30c) and the fourth rib (30d). The first right flange (642) of the first clamp (64) may be located between the first rib (30a) and the second rib (30b). The first clamp (64) may include a first center protrusion (64a), a first left protrusion (64b), and a first right protrusion (64c).
[0135] The first center protrusion (64a) can protrude from the first semi-cylinder (650) toward the inside of the pole (30) and can come into contact with the inside of the pole (30). For example, a plurality of first center protrusions (64a) can be spaced apart from each other and can be parallel to each other. The first left protrusion (64b) can protrude from the first left flange (641) toward the third rib (30c) and can come into contact with the third rib (30c). The first right protrusion (64c) can protrude from the first right flange (642) toward the second rib (30b) and can come into contact with the second rib (30b). Accordingly, the first center protrusion (64a), the first left protrusion (64b), and the first right protrusion (64c) can cause friction between the vertical member (61) and the pole (30).
[0136] For example, the second clamp (65) may be spaced downward from the first clamp (64) and may have the same shape as the first clamp (64). That is, the above description regarding the first clamp (64) may be applied equally to the second clamp (65). Accordingly, the second center protrusion (65a), the second left protrusion (65b), and the second right protrusion (65c) of the second clamp (65) may cause friction between the vertical member (61) and the pole (30).
[0137] Accordingly, the position (height) of the vertical member (61) relative to the base (20) can be maintained at a constant level by the frictional force between the protrusions (64a, 64b, 64c, 65a, 65b, 65c) and the pole (30) unless an external force exceeding a certain level is applied.
[0138] Meanwhile, the lengths of the left protrusions (64b, 65b) and the right protrusions (64c, 65c) may be smaller than the length of the center protrusions (64a, 65a). Thus, the pole (30) can be provided with multiple ribs (30a, 30b, 30c, 30d), and sufficient rigidity of the pole (30) can be secured.
[0139] Referring again to FIGS. 22 and 23, the cable groove (61g) can be formed in the front portion (61F) of the vertical member (61) and can be formed vertically. The cable (C) can be inserted into the cable groove (61g). The cable (C) can be arranged along the cable groove (50c, see FIG. 14) of the arm (50) and can be electrically connected to the head (10). Also, the cable (C) can be arranged along the stem (63s, see FIG. 21) and can be electrically connected to an electronic component, such as a battery (Bt, see FIG. 1), placed inside the base (20).
[0140] Referring to FIG. 24, the head (10) can be spaced upward from the base (20). The user can pivot the head (10). At this time, the pivot axis may pass through the center of the head (10) and be orthogonal to the head (10). Referring to the left side of FIG. 24, the head (10) can be placed in a horizontal mode. Referring to the right side of FIG. 24, the head (10) can be placed in a vertical mode.
[0141] Referring to FIG. 25, the user can tilt the head (10). At this time, the tilt axis may be a horizontal axis located behind the center of the head (10) and parallel to the head (10). The user can swivel the head (10). At this time, the first swivel axis may be a vertical axis adjacent to one end of the arm (50). Alternatively, the second swivel axis may be a vertical axis adjacent to the other end of the arm (50). The user can raise or lower the head (10) from the pole (30). At this time, the minimum height and maximum height of the head (10) may be formed by the arm (50) being caught in a hole (30hh) formed in the pole (30).
[0142] The pivot, tilt, swivel, and elevating movements of the head (10) described above can be implemented independently of each other. For example, the head (10) can be pivoted within a range of +90 degrees to -90 degrees. For example, the head (10) can be tilted within a range of +25 degrees to -25 degrees. For example, the head (10) can be swiveled within a range of +65 degrees to -65 degrees. For example, the head (10) can be positioned 1,065 to 1,265 mm from the base (20) or the ground, based on horizontal mode.
[0143] Referring to FIG. 26, the cradle (90) may include a front part (91), a middle part (92), and a rear part (93). The middle part (92) may be located behind the front part (91) and may be coupled to the front part (91). The rear part (93) may be opposite the front part (91) with respect to the middle part (92) and may be coupled to the middle part (92).
[0144] Referring to FIGS. 27 and 28, the front part (91) may include a first part (91a), a second part (91b), and a third part (91c). The front of the first part (91a) may have a shape corresponding to the rear of the back cover (15, see FIG. 2) that is adjacent to the circumference of the back cover (15). The front of the first part (91a) may be curved. The second part (91b) may be bent forward from the top of the first part (91a). The angle between the second part (91b) and the first part (91a) may be obtuse. The third part (91c) may be bent downward from the front end of the second part (91b). The angle between the third part (91c) and the second part (91b) may be a right angle or slightly greater than 90 degrees. Accordingly, the first part (91a) may have a shape in which a portion of the upper part of the curved disc is cut off, and the second part (91b) and the third part (91c) may have a hook shape overall.
[0145] At least one magnet (91M) can be coupled to the first part (91a). For example, the first magnet (91M1), the second magnet (91M2), and the third magnet (91M3) can be seated in a groove formed on the rear surface of the first part (91a). Preferably, a plurality of magnets (91M1, 91M2, 91M3) can be symmetrically arranged in the first part (91a).
[0146] The support member (91V) may be adjacent to the top of the first part (91) and may protrude rearward from the rear of the first part (91). The support member (91V) may extend in the left-right direction. The left fixing pin (91P1) may be fixed to one end of the support member (91V), and the right fixing pin (91P2) may be fixed to the other end of the support member (91V). The reinforcing member (91S1) may have a hook shape and may be inserted into the interior of the support member (91V). For example, a single reinforcing member (91S1) may extend long in the left-right direction along the support member (91V). As another example, one of a pair of reinforcing members (91S1) may be adjacent to the left fixing pin (91P1), and the other may be adjacent to the right fixing pin (91P2).
[0147] Referring to FIG. 29, the middle part (92) can be seated on the rear surface of the first part (91a). The middle part (92) may have a shape corresponding to the first part (91a) and may be penetrated by a support member (91V). At this time, the left fixing pin (91P1, see FIG. 28) may be inserted into one side of the middle part (92), and the right fixing pin (91P2, see FIG. 28) may be inserted into the other side of the middle part (92). Accordingly, the middle part (92) can be coupled to the front part (91). Meanwhile, the first left cover pin (92P1) may be aligned with the left fixing pin (91P1) and may close the hole formed on one side of the middle part (92). Additionally, the first right cover pin (92P2) can be aligned with the right fixing pin (91P2) and can close the hole formed on the other side of the middle part (92).
[0148] The shaft holders (92A, 92B) may protrude rearward from the lower part of the middle part (92). For example, the shaft holders (92A, 92B) may include a first shaft holder (92A) and a second shaft holder (92B) that are spaced apart from each other in the left and right directions.
[0149] The first shaft holder (92A) may include a first insertion part (92a1) having a first insertion hole (92a2) and a first fixing part (92a3) having a first fixing hole (92a4). A first fixing member (92a5), such as a nut, may be fixed to the inside of the first fixing part (92a3) and may be aligned with the first fixing hole (92a4) and the first insertion hole (92a2).
[0150] The second shaft holder (92B) may include a second insertion part (92b1) having a second insertion hole (92b2) and a second fixing part (92b3) having a second fixing hole (92b4). A second fixing member (92b5), such as a nut, may be fixed to the inside of the second fixing part (92b3) and may be aligned with the second fixing hole (92b4) and the second insertion hole (92b2).
[0151] For example, the second axis holder (92B) and the first axis holder (92A) can be symmetrical.
[0152] The fixing pins (92S1, 92S2) may protrude rearward from the lower part of the middle part (92). The fixing pins (92S1, 92S2) may be adjacent to the shaft holders (92A, 92B). For example, the fixing pins (92S1, 92S2) may include a first fixing pin (92S1) and a second fixing pin (92S2) that are spaced apart from each other in the left and right directions.
[0153] The first fixing pin (92S1) may be adjacent to the first shaft holder (92A) and may protrude rearward from the rear of the middle part (92). The second fixing pin (92S2) may be adjacent to the second shaft holder (92B) and may protrude rearward from the rear of the middle part (92). For example, the second fixing pin (92S2) may have the same shape as the first fixing pin (92S1).
[0154] Referring to FIGS. 29 and 30, the rear part (93) may be located behind the middle part (92) and may face the middle part (92).
[0155] The leaf (93A, 93B) may protrude from the lower part of the rear part (93) toward the middle part (92). The leaf (93A, 93B) may be positioned between the insertion part (92a1, 92b1) and the fixing part (92a3, 92b3) of the shaft holder (92A, 92B). A fastening member (93F1, 93F2), such as a bolt, may penetrate the insertion part (92a1, 92b1), the leaf (93A, 93B), and the fixing part (92a3, 92b3), and may be fastened to the fixing member (92a5, 92b5). For example, the leaf (93A, 93B) may include a first leaf (93A) that is penetrated by a first fastening member (93F1) between a first insertion part (92a1) and a first fixing part (92a3), and a second leaf (93B) that is penetrated by a second fastening member (93F2) between a second insertion part (92b1) and a second fixing part (92b3).
[0156] Accordingly, the rear part (93) can rotate with respect to the fastening members (93F1, 93F2). That is, the fastening members (93F1, 93F2) can provide a hinge axis for the rear part (93).
[0157] The elastic members (93S1, 93S2) may have elasticity and may extend in the longitudinal direction of the fixing pins (92S1, 92S2). The fixing pins (92S1, 92S2) may be inserted into the elastic members (93S1, 93S2). One end of the elastic members (93S1, 93S2) may be fixed to the middle part (92), and the other end of the elastic members (93S1, 93S2) may be fixed to the rear part (93). For example, the elastic members (93S1, 93S2) may be springs. For example, the elastic member (93S1) may include a first elastic member (93S1) wound around the outer circumference of the first fixing pin (92S1) and a second elastic member (93S2) wound around the outer circumference of the second fixing pin (92S2).
[0158] Meanwhile, the left side (93L) of the rear part (93) may have a first hole through which a first fastening member (93F1) passes, and a first cover pin (93P1) may close the hole. Also, the right side (93R) of the rear part (93) may have a second hole through which a second fastening member (93F2) passes, and a second cover pin (not shown) may close the second hole.
[0159] Referring to FIGS. 26 and 31, when the rear part (93) rotates clockwise about the aforementioned hinge axes (93F1, 93F2) due to an external force applied to the rear part (93), the elastic members (93S1, 93S2) can be compressed and elastically deformed. That is, when the external force applied to the rear part (93) is released, the elastic members (93S1, 93S2) can be extended and restored, and the rear part (93) can rotate counterclockwise about the aforementioned hinge axes (93F1, 93F2) by the elastic force of the elastic members (93S1, 93S2).
[0160] Referring to FIG. 26, in the initial state of the cradle (90), the upper part of the rear part (93) may be in contact with or adjacent to the middle part (92).
[0161] Referring to FIG. 31, the user can rotate the rear part (93) clockwise about the aforementioned hinge axis (93F1, 93F1) and insert a terminal (Mo), such as a smartphone, between the middle part (92) and the rear part (93). At this time, the rear part (93) can press the terminal (Mo) against the middle part (92) by the elastic force of the elastic members (93S1, 93S2). Accordingly, the terminal (Mo) can be stably fixed to the cradle (90).
[0162] Meanwhile, the middle pad (92V) may protrude backward from the rear of the middle part (92). Also, the rear pad (93V) may protrude forward from the rear part (93). Pads (92V, 93V) made of cushioning material such as rubber or silicone can mitigate impact applied to the terminal (Mo) or minimize scratches on the terminal (Mo) caused by the cradle (90).
[0163] Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, the hooks (91b, 91c) of the cradle (90) can be hooked onto the end frame (14). Specifically, the third part (91c) of the front part (91) can be hooked onto the horizontal portion (14H, see FIG. 3) of the end frame (14), the second part (91b) can be positioned on the vertical portion (14V, see FIG. 3) of the end frame (14), and the first part (91a) can be positioned on the rear surface of the back cover (15). Accordingly, the cradle (90) can be detachably coupled around the head (10).
[0164] Referring to FIG. 32, the cradle (90) can be attached at any point on the circumference of the head (10). Additionally, the cradle (90) can be attached more strongly to the head (10) using the magnetic force of the aforementioned magnet (91M, see FIG. 27). For example, the position where the cradle (90) is attached to the head (10) using the above magnetic force may correspond to the position of the plate (16) described later.
[0165] At least one plate (16) may be positioned between the frame (13, see FIG. 3) and the back cover (15) and may be coupled to the frame (13) and / or the back cover (15). The plate (16) may be a magnetic substance such as iron (Fe). The plate (16) may be formed flat or curved along the curvature of the first part (91a, see FIG. 28) of the cradle (90). For example, the plate (16) may be provided in multiple numbers.
[0166] The first plate (16a) and the second plate (16b) may be adjacent to the upper side of the head (10) and may be spaced apart from each other in the left and right directions. For example, the first plate (16a) may be located to the left of a vertical line (VL) passing through the center (O) of the head (10), and the second plate (16b) may be located to the right of the vertical line (VL). The third plate (16c) may be adjacent to the left side of the head (10), and the fourth plate (16d) may be adjacent to the right side of the head (10). For example, the third plate (16c) and the fourth plate (16d) may be located on a horizontal line (HL) passing through the center (O) of the head (10), or may be slightly offset upward or downward from it.
[0167] Accordingly, at the position of the plate (16), the cradle (90) can be more strongly coupled to the head (10) by the magnetic attraction between the magnet (91M, see FIG. 27) and the plate (16).
[0168] Meanwhile, a gyro sensor (17) may be mounted on the frame (13) between the frame (13) and the back cover (15). For example, the display device may have one gyro sensor (17). For example, the gyro sensor (17) may be positioned away from the vertical line (VL) and the horizontal line (HL). As another example, the display device may have multiple gyro sensors (17). The sensing value of the gyro sensor (17) may vary according to the pivot angle of the head (10). Accordingly, the gyro sensor (17) can detect the pivot of the head (10) and the mode of the head (10) (e.g., landscape mode or portrait mode).
[0169] Referring to FIGS. 33 and 34, the control unit of the display device can detect the horizontal mode (see left figure of FIG. 34) or vertical mode (see right figure of FIG. 34) of the head (10) based on information obtained from the gyroscope sensor (17, see FIG. 32) (S10).
[0170] The above control unit can adjust the aspect ratio of the image to match the horizontal or vertical mode of the head (10) and output the image through the display panel (11) (S11).
[0171] Referring to FIG. 35, the control unit (C0) of the display device can control the operation of the display device. The control unit (C0) can be electrically connected to the components of the display device.

The main board (Mb), power supply board (Pu), and T-CON board (Tc) can be mounted on the rear of the frame (13, see FIG. 3). The main board (Mb) can control the display device. The control unit (C0) may be implemented as the main board (MB) or may be a higher-level control unit that controls the main board (Mb), etc. The power supply board (Pu) can receive power from a battery (Bt, see FIG. 1) and / or an external power source via a cable and can provide power to each component of the display device. The T-CON board (Tc) can provide a video signal to the display panel (110).
[0173] The speaker (SPK) can be electrically connected to the control unit (C0). The speaker (SPK) can be installed on the head (10), pole (30), arm (50), and / or base (20) and can provide sound.
[0174] The gyro sensor (17) can be electrically connected to the control unit (C0).
[0175] The communication unit (Cm) may include a Near Field Communication (NFC) module (N1) and / or a Wi-Fi module (N2). The NFC module (N1, see FIG. 13) may be mounted on the frame (13) between the frame (13) and the back cover (15) and may be adjacent to the right and bottom sides of the head (10). A user can connect the head (10) and the terminal (Mo) by tagging the terminal to the NFC module (N1). The Wi-Fi module (N2, see FIG. 13) may be mounted on the frame (13) between the frame (13) and the back cover (15) and may be adjacent to the top side of the head (10). The head (10) can connect to a network through the Wi-Fi module (N2).
[0176] The input unit (Pm) can be electrically connected to the control unit (C0). The user can input commands or signals to the control unit (C0) through the input unit (Pm). For example, the input unit (Pm) may be a button (Bu), a display panel (11), and / or a microphone (Mc). The button (Bu, see FIG. 32) may be mounted on the frame (13) between the frame (13) and the back cover (15), and may be adjacent to the left and bottom sides of the head (10). The user can control the head (10) by operating the button (Bu). The display panel (11) may be implemented as a touch panel, and the user can control the display device by touching the display panel (11). The microphone (Mc) may be installed on the display device, and the user can control the display device by inputting voice into the microphone (Mc). For example, the input unit (Pm) may be a remote controller (Rc) operated by a user and communicating with a display device, or an application (App) installed on a user's terminal (smartphone) and communicating with a display device.
[0177] Referring to FIGS. 35 and 36, the motor (410) can be coupled to the rear of the frame (13) via a motor mount (410a). The motor (410) may be a motor capable of adjusting the rotation direction, rotation angle, and rotation speed. The motor (410) may be a stepper motor.
[0178] The worm (413) can be fixed to the rotation axis (411) of the motor (410) through a coupling member (412) and can rotate together with the rotation axis (411). The worm wheel (414) can engage with the screw threads formed on the outer surface of the worm (413). The rotation axis of the worm (413) can be aligned in the left-right direction, and the rotation axis of the worm wheel (414) can be aligned in the up-down direction.
[0179] The drive shaft (44s) of the pivot shaft (44) may be positioned opposite the body (44b) to the head (44a) and may be fixed to the worm wheel (414).
[0180] Accordingly, when the motor (410) is driven, the pivot shaft (44) can rotate in a first rotational direction or a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction. That is, the head (10, see FIG. 24) can be pivoted automatically.
[0181] The disc indicator (418) may be adjacent to the end of the worm (413) and may be fixed to the end of the worm (413). The disc indicator (418) may include a plurality of holes (not shown) spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the disc indicator (418).
[0182] The rotation sensor (419) may be adjacent to the disc indicator (418) and may be fixed to one side of the gearbox (410b) mounted on the frame (13) while accommodating the worm (413) and the worm wheel (414). The rotation sensor (419) may have a horseshoe shape. The light-emitting part and the light-receiving part of the rotation sensor (419) may face each other but be spaced apart from each other. The disc indicator (418) may rotate and pass between the light-emitting part and the light-receiving part according to the rotation of the worm (413). In response to the rotation of the disc indicator (418), the light from the light-emitting part may pass through the hole of the disc indicator (418) or be blocked by the disc indicator (418).
[0183] Accordingly, the rotation sensor (419) can detect the number of rotations and / or amount of rotation of the motor (410).
[0184] The aforementioned motor (410) and rotation sensor (419) can be electrically connected to a control unit (C0). That is, the control unit (C0) can control the pivot of the head (10, see FIG. 24) by controlling the operation of the motor (410) based on information obtained from the rotation sensor (419).
[0185] Referring to FIGS. 37 and 38, the user's terminal (Mo) can communicate with the head (10) through a communication unit (Cm, see FIG. 35). That is, the user can tag the terminal (Mo) to an NFC module (N1, see FIG. 35) or connect the head (10) to a network through a Wi-Fi module (N2) to mirror the screen of the terminal (Mo) to the head (10) (S20).
[0186] The control unit (C0) can identify the horizontal mode or vertical mode of the terminal (Mo) based on information obtained from the terminal (Mo) through the communication unit (Cm) (S21).
[0187] The control unit (C0) can pivot the head (10) according to the horizontal mode or vertical mode of the terminal (Mo) (S22). If the terminal (Mo) is in horizontal mode, the control unit (C0) can pivot the head (10) to horizontal mode by adjusting the rotation of the motor (410, see FIG. 36) (see left figure of FIG. 38). If the terminal (Mo) is in vertical mode, the control unit (C0) can pivot the head (10) to vertical mode by adjusting the rotation of the motor (410, see FIG. 36) (see right figure of FIG. 38).
[0188] The control unit (C0) can adjust the aspect ratio of the image to match the horizontal or vertical mode of the head (10) and output the image through the display panel (11) (S23).
[0189] Referring to FIGS. 39 to 41, the control unit (C0) can recognize a terminal (Mo) mounted on a head (10) using a cradle (90) based on information obtained from a gyroscope sensor (16, see FIG. 32) (S30). The display panel of the terminal (Mo) may be provided on the front of the terminal (Mo), and the camera (Mv) of the terminal (Mo) may be provided on the rear of the terminal (Mo).
[0190] The control unit (C0) can identify the position of the terminal (Mo) mounted on the head (10) based on information obtained from the gyroscope sensor (16) (S31).
[0191] The control unit (C0) can pivot the head (10) according to the position of the identified terminal (Mo) (S32).
[0192] Referring to FIG. 40 (a), when the terminal (Mo) is at a position (P1) corresponding to the fourth plate (16d) in the horizontal mode of the head (10), the control unit (C0) can switch from horizontal mode to vertical mode by rotating the head (10) 90 degrees clockwise. When the terminal (Mo) is at a position (P4) corresponding to the third plate (16c), the control unit (C0) can switch from horizontal mode to vertical mode by rotating the head (10) 90 degrees counterclockwise.
[0193] Additionally, in the horizontal mode of the head (10), if the terminal (Mo) is at a position (P2) corresponding to the second plate (16b) or a position (P3) corresponding to the first plate (16a), the control unit (C0) can maintain the horizontal mode of the head (10).
[0194] Referring to FIG. 40 (b), in the first vertical mode of the head (10), the first and second plates (16a, 16b) may be adjacent to the left side of the head (10). In the first vertical mode of the head (10), if the terminal (Mo) is at a position (Q1) corresponding to the second plate (16b) or a position (Q2) corresponding to the first plate (16a), the control unit (C0) may switch from the first vertical mode to the horizontal mode by rotating the head (10) 90 degrees counterclockwise.
[0195] Additionally, in the first vertical mode of the head (10), if the terminal (Mo) is at a position (Q3) corresponding to the fourth plate (16d), the control unit (C0) can maintain the first vertical mode of the head (10).
[0196] Additionally, in the first vertical mode of the head (10), if the terminal (Mo) is at a position (Q4) corresponding to the third plate (16c), the control unit (C0) can switch from the first vertical mode to the second vertical mode described later by rotating the head (10) 180 degrees counterclockwise.
[0197] Referring to FIG. 40 (c), in the second vertical mode of the head (10), the first and second plates (16a, 16b) may be adjacent to the right side of the head (10). In the second vertical mode of the head (10), if the terminal (Mo) is at a position (R1) corresponding to the first plate (16a) or a position (R2) corresponding to the second plate (16b), the control unit (C0) can switch from the second vertical mode to the horizontal mode by rotating the head (10) 90 degrees clockwise.
[0198] Additionally, in the second vertical mode of the head (10), if the terminal (Mo) is at a position (R3) corresponding to the third plate (16c), the control unit (C0) can maintain the second vertical mode of the head (10).
[0199] Additionally, in the second vertical mode of the head (10), if the terminal (Mo) is at a position (R4) corresponding to the fourth plate (16d), the control unit (C0) can switch from the second vertical mode to the first vertical mode by rotating the head (10) 180 degrees clockwise.
[0200] The control unit (C0) can adjust the aspect ratio of the image to match the horizontal or vertical mode of the head (10) and output the image through the display panel (11) (S33).
[0201] Referring to FIGS. 35 and 42, the wireless charging unit (19) may be located between the plate (16) and the back cover (15). The wireless charging unit (19) may be coupled to the frame (13, see FIG. 3) and / or the back cover (15). The wireless charging unit (19) may provide electrical energy wirelessly to an electronic device through an inductive coupling method or a resonant coupling method. This wireless charging unit (19) may receive power from a power supply board (Pu).
[0202] Inductive coupling utilizes the principle that if the current flowing through one of two adjacent coils is changed, the magnetic field changes due to that current, which in turn changes the magnetic flux passing through the other coil, thereby generating an induced electromotive force. In other words, without moving the two wires spatially, if only the current in one coil is changed while the two coils are placed close together, an induced electromotive force is generated in the other coil. In this case, frequency characteristics are not significantly affected, but power efficiency may be affected by the alignment and distance between the transmitting device (i.e., wireless charging unit) and the receiving device (i.e., terminal) containing each coil.
[0203] The resonance coupling method utilizes the principle that when a resonance frequency is applied to one of two coils separated by a certain distance, a portion of the resulting change in the magnetic field is applied to the other coil at the same resonance frequency, thereby generating an induced electromotive force. In other words, when the transmitting and receiving devices resonate at the same frequency, electromagnetic waves are transmitted through the near-field electromagnetic field; conversely, if the frequencies are different, there is no energy transfer. In this case, the selection of the frequency can be a critical issue. Furthermore, since there is no energy transfer between different resonance frequencies, the target device for charging can be selected by choosing the resonance frequency.
