[0130] Fig. 6 illustrates a display device according to one embodiment. Fig. 7 illustrates the display device illustrated in Fig. 6 from below. Fig. 8 illustrates an exploded view of the display device illustrated in Fig. 7. The same drawing reference numerals may indicate parts or components that perform substantially the same functions, and redundant descriptions may be omitted.

[0131] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 8, the stand (20) can be set up in a first state (S1). The first state (S1) of the stand (20) can include a state in which the stand panel (21) is erected by four legs (22).

[0132] The stand (20) can be provided in a first state (S1) capable of supporting the display (10) in four directions. For example, when the display (10) is placed on the stand (20) provided in the first state (S1), the display (10) can be supported in four directions by the stand (20).

[0133] While the stand (20) is set in the first state (S1), each of four legs (22) among the plurality of legs (22) can be set to support the stand panel (21).

[0134] While the stand (20) is set up in the first state (S1), four legs (22) can be connected to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21) to support the stand panel (21) in four directions.

[0135] While the stand (20) is set in the first state (S1), the first ends (221) of four legs (22) among the plurality of legs can be respectively connected to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21).

[0136] For example, each of the four legs (22) among the plurality of legs can be coupled to each of the coupling grooves (2182, 2183, 2184, 2185) of the stand panel (21). For example, the first end (221) of the leg (22a) can be coupled to the second coupling groove (2182), the first end (221) of the leg (22b) can be coupled to the third coupling groove (2183), the first end (221) of the leg (22c) can be coupled to the fourth coupling groove (2184), and the first end (221) of the leg (22d) can be coupled to the fifth coupling groove (2185). However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described example, and it is sufficient if any four legs (22) among the plurality of legs correspond to the coupling grooves (2182, 2183, 2184, 2185) one by one. For example, the first end (221) of the leg (22a) can be coupled to the fifth coupling groove (2185).

[0137] While the stand (20) is set in the first state (S1), the second ends (222) of four of the legs (22) among the plurality of legs may be set to form a quadrangle (Q). For example, while the stand (20) is set in the first state (S1), the second ends (222) of four of the legs (22) among the plurality of legs may be set to form quadrangles of various shapes, such as a rectangle, a square, or a trapezoid.

[0138] While the stand (20) is in the first state (S1), the second ends (222) of four of the legs (22) among the plurality of legs can be supported by the floor (F). Thus, while the stand (20) is in the first state (S1), the stand (20) can contact the floor (F) at four points.

[0139] For example, while the stand (20) is set in the first state (S1), the four legs (22) may each protrude in different directions from the stand panel (21). For example, the four legs (22) may each be coupled at an angle with respect to the stand panel (21). For example, the four legs (22) may each be set to form a predetermined angle with the floor (F). However, the present disclosure is not limited to the examples described above.

[0140] Meanwhile, in the drawing, while the stand (20) is set in the first state (S1), the lower coupling portion (15b) of the display (10) is illustrated as being coupled to the second coupling portion (217) of the stand (20), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the upper coupling portion (15a) of the display (10) may also be coupled to the second coupling portion (217) of the stand (20). At this time, the four legs (22) may be coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21) so as not to interfere with the display (10).

[0141] Fig. 9 illustrates a display device according to one embodiment. Fig. 10 illustrates the display device illustrated in Fig. 9 from below. Fig. 11 illustrates an exploded view of the display device illustrated in Fig. 10. The same drawing reference numerals may indicate parts or components that perform substantially the same functions, and redundant descriptions may be omitted.

[0142] Referring to FIGS. 9 to 11, the stand (20) can be set up in a second state (S2). The second state (S2) of the stand (20) can include a state in which the stand panel (21) is erected by three legs (22).

[0143] The stand (20) can be provided in a second state (S2) capable of supporting the display (10) in three directions. For example, when the display (10) is placed on the stand (20) provided in the second state (S2), the display (10) can be supported in three directions by the stand (20).

[0144] While the stand (20) is set up in the second state (S2), each of three legs (22) among the plurality of legs (22) can be set up to support the stand panel (21).

[0145] While the stand (20) is set up in the second state (S2), the hub (23) is coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21), and three legs (22) are coupled to the lower side of the hub (23) to support the hub (23) and the stand panel (21) in three directions.

[0146] While the stand (20) is set in the second state (S2), the first ends (221) of three legs (22) among the plurality of legs can be respectively coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21). While the stand (20) is set in the second state (S2), the first ends (221) of three legs (22) among the plurality of legs can respectively be coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21) via the hub (23).

[0147] For example, the first connecting portion (231) of the hub (23) can be connected to the first connecting groove (2181) of the stand panel (21). For example, each of three legs (22) among the plurality of legs can be connected to the second, third, and fourth connecting portions (232, 233, 234) of the hub (23), respectively. For example, the first end (221) of the leg (22a) can be connected to the second connecting portion (232), the first end (221) of the leg (22b) can be connected to the third connecting portion (233), and the first end (221) of the leg (22c) can be connected to the fourth connecting portion (234). However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described example, and it is sufficient if any three of the plurality of legs correspond to the second, third, and fourth connecting portions (232, 233, 234) of the hub (23). For example, the first end (221) of a leg (22d) not shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 may be connected to any one of the second, third, and fourth connecting portions (232, 233, 234).

[0148] While the stand (20) is set in the second state (S2), the second ends (222) of three of the legs (22) among the plurality of legs may be set to form a triangle (T). For example, while the stand (20) is set in the second state (S2), the second ends (222) of three of the legs (22) among the plurality of legs may be set to form various triangle shapes, such as an equilateral triangle, an isosceles triangle, a right triangle, an obtuse triangle, an acute triangle, etc.

[0149] While the stand (20) is in the second state (S2), the second ends (222) of three of the legs (22) among the plurality of legs can be supported by the floor (F). Thus, while the stand (20) is in the second state (S2), the stand (20) can contact the floor (F) at three points.

[0150] For example, while the stand (20) is set in the second state (S2), the three legs (22) may each protrude in different directions from the stand panel (21). For example, the three legs (22) may each be coupled at an angle with respect to the stand panel (21). For example, the three legs (22) may each be set to form a predetermined angle with the floor (F). However, the present disclosure is not limited to the examples described above.

[0151] Unlike what is shown in the drawing, any three of the plurality of legs (22) may be directly connected to the stand panel (21) to support the stand panel (21). In this case, the hub (23) may be omitted.

[0152] The display device (1) may include a fixing clip (40). The fixing clip (40) may be provided to fix the rear side (10c) of the display (10) and the stand (10). The fixing clip (40) may be detachably coupled to the guide groove (14) of the display (10). For example, while the stand (20) is provided in the second state (S2), the fixing clip (40) may be provided to wrap around the outer surface of the first connecting portion (231) of the hub (23).

[0153] Fig. 12 illustrates a display device according to one embodiment. Fig. 13 illustrates the display device illustrated in Fig. 12 from below. Fig. 14 illustrates an exploded view of the display device illustrated in Fig. 13. The same drawing reference numerals may indicate parts or components that perform substantially the same functions, and redundant descriptions may be omitted.

[0154] Referring to FIGS. 12 to 14, the stand (20) may be provided in a third state (S3). The third state (S3) of the stand (20) may include a state in which the stand panel (21) is erected by four legs (22), and three of the four legs (22) are supported by the floor (F). For example, the third state (S3) of the stand (20) may include a state in which at least one more leg (22) is provided between the hub (23) and the stand panel (21) in the second state (S2) of the stand (20).

[0155] While the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), the stand (20) can support the display (10) in three directions. For example, as the display (10) is placed on the stand (20) set in the third state (S3), the display (10) can be supported in three directions by the stand (20).

[0156] While the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), one leg among the plurality of legs (22) can be coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21). For example, when the stand (20) includes four legs (22), any one of the four legs (22) can be coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21). For example, the one leg can be arranged to extend along an approximately vertical direction (Z direction). For example, the one leg can be arranged to be upright. For example, the first end (221) of the leg (22d) can be coupled to the first connecting portion (231) of the hub (23). For example, the second end (222) of the leg (22d) can be coupled to the first coupling groove (2181).

[0157] While the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), the hub (23) can be coupled to the lower side of one leg (22) coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21). While the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), three legs (22) excluding one leg (22) coupled to the lower side (21b) of the stand panel (21) can be coupled to the lower side of the hub (23). For example, the first connecting portion (231) of the hub (23) can be coupled to the first end (221) of the leg (22d). For example, each of the second, third, and fourth connecting portions (232, 233, 234) of the hub (23) can be connected to each of the first ends (221) of the three legs (22a, 22b, 22d).

[0158] While the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), each of the three legs (22) excluding the one leg may be set to support the one leg. For example, each of the three legs may be set to support the one leg via the hub (23). For example, when the stand (20) includes four legs (22), any one of the four legs (22) may be coupled to the upper side of the hub (23). For example, when the stand (20) includes four legs (22), the remaining three legs (22) of the four legs (22) may be coupled to the lower side of the hub (23). The remaining three legs (22) may be set to support the hub (23) and the stand panel (21) in three directions. For example, each of the three legs can be coupled to the second, third, and fourth connecting portions (232, 233, 234) of the hub (23), respectively. For example, the first end (221) of the leg (22a) can be coupled to the second connecting portion (232), the first end (221) of the leg (22b) can be coupled to the third connecting portion (233), and the first end (221) of the leg (22c) can be coupled to the fourth connecting portion (234).

[0160] While the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), the second ends (222) of three legs, excluding one leg among the plurality of legs (22), may be set to form a triangle (T). For example, while the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), the second ends (222) of three legs, excluding one leg among the plurality of legs (22), may be set to form various triangle shapes, such as an equilateral triangle, an isosceles triangle, a right triangle, an obtuse triangle, an acute triangle, etc.

[0161] While the stand (20) is in the third state (S3), the second ends (222) of three legs (22) excluding the one leg among the plurality of legs can be supported by the floor (F). Thus, while the stand (20) is in the third state (S3), the stand (20) can contact the floor (F) at three points.

[0162] For example, while the stand (20) is set in the third state (S3), three legs (22) excluding the one leg among the plurality of legs may protrude in different directions from the stand panel (21). For example, the three legs (22) may be coupled at an angle to the stand panel (21). For example, the three legs (22) may be set to form a predetermined angle with respect to the floor (F). However, the present disclosure is not limited to the examples described above.

[0163] Unlike what is shown in the drawing, one leg (22) among the plurality of legs (22) may be connected to the stand panel (21), and the other three legs (22) among the plurality of legs (22) may be directly connected to the one leg (22). In this case, the hub (23) may be omitted.

[0164] The display device (1) may include a fixing clip (40). The fixing clip (40) may be provided to fix the rear side (10c) of the display (10) and the stand (10). The fixing clip (40) may be detachably coupled to the guide groove (14) of the display (10). For example, while the stand (20) is provided in the third state (S3), the fixing clip (40) may be provided to wrap around the outer surface of one leg coupled to the stand panel (21).

[0165] Meanwhile, the first state (S1), the second state (S2), and the third state (S3) are not limited by the ordinal numbers "first," "second," and "third." For example, the first state (S1) may be referred to as the second state (S1). For example, the first state (S1) may be referred to as the third state (S1). For example, the second state (S2) may be referred to as the first state (S2). For example, the second state (S2) may be referred to as the third state (S2). For example, the third state (S3) may be referred to as the first state (S3). For example, the third state (S3) may be referred to as the second state (S3).

[0166] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 14, the stand (20) can be provided in various states (S1, S2, S3). The stand (20) can be switched to various states. For example, the stand (20) can be switched from a first state (S1) to a second state (S2) or a third state (S3). For example, the stand (20) can be switched from a second state (S2) to a first state (S1) or a third state (S3). For example, the stand (20) can be switched from a third state (S3) to a first state (S1) or a second state (S2). Depending on each state of the stand (20), the assembly configuration of the stand (20) can vary. Accordingly, the stand (20) can be used in various spaces and / or environments. The stand (20) can be provided in various states according to the user's desire. The usability of the stand (20) can be improved.

[0167] Meanwhile, the height of the display (10) can be adjusted by the stand (20). For example, the height of the display (10) can vary depending on the connection position of the display (10) and the stand (20). For example, the height of the display (10) can be set in various ways depending on the connection position of the display (10) and the stand (20). For example, the height of the display (10) can vary depending on the assembly state of the stand (20).

[0168] While the stand (20) is set in the second state (S2), the display (10) may be set to be positioned at the first position (P1).

The first coupling portion (15) of the display (10) can be arranged to hang on the second coupling portion (217) of the stand (20).

[0186] As the display (10) moves downward with respect to the stand (20), the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to be coupled to the second coupling portion (217). For example, when the first coupling portion (15) is positioned above the second coupling portion (217), as the display (10) moves downward with respect to the stand (20), the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to be caught by the second coupling portion (217). For example, as the display (10) moves downward with respect to the stand (20), at least a portion of the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to be drawn into the second coupling portion (217). For example, as the display (10) slides downward with respect to the stand (20), at least a portion of the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to be drawn into the second coupling portion (217). For example, the coupling neck (152) can be inserted into the first coupling groove (2171). For example, the coupling neck (152) can be inserted into the first coupling groove (2171). For example, the coupling neck (152) inserted into the first coupling groove (2171) can be supported by the first support member (2173). For example, the coupling head (153) can be inserted into the second coupling groove (2172). For example, the coupling head (153) inserted into the second coupling groove (2172) can be supported by the second support member (2174).

[0187] Conversely, as the display (10) moves upward with respect to the stand (20), the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to separate from the second coupling portion (217). For example, as the display (10) moves upward with respect to the stand (20) while at least a portion of the first coupling portion (15) is accommodated in the second coupling portion (217), the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to separate from the second coupling portion (217). For example, as the display (10) moves upward with respect to the stand (20), at least a portion of the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to be withdrawn from the second coupling portion (217). For example, as the display (10) slides upward with respect to the stand (20), at least a portion of the first coupling portion (15) may be arranged to be withdrawn from the second coupling portion (217). For example, the coupling neck (152) can be withdrawn from the first coupling groove (2171). For example, the coupling head (153) can be withdrawn from the second coupling groove (2172).
